My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 89 Ling Bamboo
Zhu Houcong woke up from that grand and endless dream.

Time is up.

Looking at the King Qin Sword in his hand, Qiu Luan heard anxious shouts in his ears.

Zhu Houcong thought.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"

"I'm fine..."

Zhu Houcong recalled everything he had just seen in his dream and answered subconsciously.

What is certain is that the thing is now in the process of gradually awakening from its long sleep.

He is constantly resurrecting, so much so that now even dreams can frequently interfere with reality.

At the end of the dream, I looked at the golden-blue flames dancing around me, like gas in the air.

Zhu Houcong even felt the joy in their movements as they looked at the sleeping sun.

They were alive...and Zhu Houcong was not even sure whether the sun in the dream had woken up at the end.

Before leaving, Zhu Houcong saw the strange flesh-and-blood sun shining red in the sky.

It was like a huge eye in the sky staring at Zhu Houcong, blinking at Zhu Houcong.

Fortunately, he seemed to be very satisfied with Zhu Houcong's arrival and did not make any aggressive gestures.

On the contrary, Zhu Houcong even heard some murmurs in his ears such as "Shui De", "North", "Invasion", "Capital" and "Death".

Zhu Houcong fell into deep thought.

"How are the health of Wang Meng and Guo Xun?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's concern, after taking the elixir, his condition has stabilized."

When Qiu Luan said this, he couldn't help but feel a bit happy on his face.

"Your Majesty, Commander Luo just sent a secret report from the southwest. Troops from various provinces in the south have been assembled in Jiangxi and can enter the southwest to quell the rebellion at any time..."

Qiu Luan took out an urgent report from the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi Province from his arms and said.

Zhu Houcong took a look.

The above roughly means that the soldiers, ordnance, and food and grass are all in place.

Wang Shouren also hinted that the Ministry of War had figured out the details of the Southwest Barbarian God.

The army can enter the southwest mountains at any time with the support of the local chieftain.

"Join me in gathering the Imperial Guard—"

The two walked out the door.

Xiyuan is an important royal garden in the Ming Dynasty. It was named because it is located to the west of the Forbidden City. Its area is about six times that of the Imperial City, and it covers four directions, roughly from Xiyuan Gate in the east, Xi'an Gate in the west, and Chang'an Street in the south. , north to Bei'anmen line, the main area is between the west wall of the palace city and the west wall of the imperial city, because a large part of this area is the water surface of Taiye Lake.

Beside the Taiye Pond, there are many spiritual bamboos transplanted by Zhu Houcong from the world of immortal cultivation.

Next to the bamboo forest and Taiye Pool is the royal horse farm, and to the west of the bamboo forest and horse farm is a row of wooden huts.

It was the temporary residence of the Imperial Guards after they moved out of the palace with Zhu Houcong.

At this time, the Imperial Guards were galloping on the racecourse, testing each other's martial arts.

Although their residences were simpler and their lives were more difficult, these Imperial Guards were not dissatisfied at all.

Just because of the spiritual bamboo forest planted next to Taiye Pond, this place has become a rare place in the Ming Dynasty that is relatively rich in spiritual energy.

It can barely satisfy the training needs of these demon blood warriors, most of whom are in the body refining stage.

It is roughly equivalent to the monk's Qi training period.

It's just that the classification of levels is not as detailed as that of Qi training monks.

Roughly divided into three levels.

The first level of physical training is equivalent to the first to third levels of Qi training.

The second level of physical training is equivalent to the middle stage of qi training.

The third level is the later stage of Qi training.

However, most of the Imperial Guards are currently at the first level of body refining. Only Luo An, Wang Meng and a few old men have the resources of Zhu Houcong to reach the second level of body refining.

With the nourishment of spiritual energy, it can greatly alleviate the instinctive desire for flesh and blood caused by the extraordinary power in the Forbidden Army.

When the Imperial Guards stayed here, they felt more comfortable than ever before, and their strength was gradually growing as time went by.

It is precisely because of this that the sense of belonging the Imperial Guards feel towards the Imperial City is unimaginable to outsiders.

This is also what Zhu Houcong hopes to achieve.Planted next to Taiye Pond are spiritual bamboos dug by Zhu Houcong from the mountain behind Xiaoqingshan.

In the bamboo forest, there are also some low-level spiritual beasts native to the Ming Dynasty that were bred after crossing with alien species from the world of immortality.

Several blue-gold stupid birds were chirping overhead, and not far away, a small white tiger was riding on the head of a dejected leopard, showing off its power.

Because of the concentration of spiritual energy, these spirit beasts want to stay in the bamboo forest of Xiyuan every day, and are guarded by guards, so there is almost no risk of getting lost.

Although it is called Lingzhu, it is not of high grade and only has some effect in transforming spiritual energy and promoting the cultivation of low-level monks.

But the advantage is that it has strong vitality and does not have high requirements for the growth environment.

Zhu Houcong got thousands of them and had them planted here. Although the grade of spiritual bamboo was extremely low, it was enough for the Ming Dynasty.

With enough strength to dominate among the ancestors of the Pill Formation, it is not impossible for Zhu Houcong to get better spiritual plants.

However, all high-grade spiritual plants can only grow around spiritual veins.

Transplanted to the world of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that these spiritual plants lacking spiritual energy nourishment will not suck the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to benefit living beings, but will eat people.

Guo Xun and others who were training in the racecourse saw Zhu Houcong who was taking Qiu Luan to summon the imperial army in the bamboo forest next to Taiye Pond.

Hastily stepped forward to salute.

"His Majesty!"

"How is your body recovering?"

"I'm fine now. I'd like to ask for orders to go to the southwest and share my father's worries!"

At this time, after hearing Guo Xun's words, all the Imperial Guards present gathered around.

They all knelt down together with Guo Xun, looking at the emperor eagerly, and asked to go to the southwest to share the country's worries.

Zhu Houcong saw that the morale of the soldiers was high.

My mood, which was slightly gloomy just now because of that thing under the capital, couldn't help but become a little brighter.

"Qiu Luan! Open the alchemy room!"

Zhu Houcong said with a smile to Qiu Luan beside him.

"I want to open a furnace to make elixirs, and we must not let our soldiers suffer from the miasma in the southwest."

……

Inside the alchemy room of Xiyuan.

Zhu Houcong flipped through the alchemy tips provided by a friend of an environmental protection girl.

"Environmentalists' favorite private soup"

Although the name is a bit strange, it matches the first-level alchemy inheritance obtained from the world of immortality.

Refining some qi-replenishing pills to replenish spiritual energy and blood is also within easy reach.

Even if a certain environmentally friendly girl knew that Zhu Houcong used his precious alchemy experience to refine some Qi-tonifying pills that were not even high-grade, she would probably be speechless for a while.

"Let the Supervisor of Ceremonies send a report to the residence. When I lead the Sixth Army to march to the southwest, the guard posts along the coast will be on heightened alert to prevent the sharks from landing."

When I heard that Zhu Houcong said that he wanted to fight in person.

Huang Jingang on the side wanted to dissuade him.

"I have made up my mind! The barbarians in the southwest have rebelled many times over the past hundred years. I have decided to raise an army to completely destroy them and save the common people in the southwest from the evil spirits! I will not let future generations experience the pain caused by the incompetence of several generations of imperial courts since Yongle!"

Zhu Houcong replied.

Seeing Zhu Houcong's firm words, Huang Jin opened his mouth. After all, the two of them were old friends since they were young. Huang Jin also knew Zhu Houcong's abilities when he was in the palace.

The recent myth-like story that has been rumored by the outside world, the Ming Dynasty strongman who furiously killed the dragon on the Yongding River was probably the young emperor in front of him.

Son of Heaven...

Huang Jin's expression was like a dream.

He knew the ambition in the heart of the young man in front of him, and he vowed to wipe out the demons in the world and restore a peaceful world to all people in the world.

Ordinary etiquette can never restrain such a strong man.

He will make up his own rules to facilitate the ruthless expedition against the monsters in all directions that he has constructed countless times in his dreams.

This will be a complete conquest.

Whether it is Shanhaiguan in the north or Zhennanguan in the south, it reaches Ningbo in the east with turbulent blue waves and Yumen in the west with thousands of miles of yellow sand.

The golden-red thunder will work together with the iron hooves in the Ming army pass, and use the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, one by one, uproot the demons and evil sacrifices around the Ming Dynasty that have devoured countless humans and animals for thousands of years.
