Chapter 157: The Shocked Southern Ming Yongli Emperor
Myanmar.
Inside the bamboo city hall used to house the Southern Ming ministers.
The current emperor of the Southern Ming, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, was sitting on a chair, trembling all over.
The King of Myanmar, Mang Bai, was leading three thousand soldiers to attack.
He was afraid.
Afraid of dying at the hands of the Myanmar soldiers.
Even if the Myanmar army didn’t kill him, handing him over to Wu Sangui would be extremely troublesome. With Wu Sangui’s ferocity and ruthlessness, he definitely wouldn’t give him an easy time.
What to do?
Hearing the shouts of killing coming from outside, he didn’t even dare to stand up and go outside to take a look.
In terms of being timid and cowardly, Emperor Yongli was nothing like an emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but rather quite similar to those cowardly emperors of the Song Dynasty.
Just at this moment, a eunuch ran in: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news, great news!”
Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang looked like he was being teased. In this desperate situation, what good news could there be? Could it be that the Loyal Prince Li Dingguo had come to the rescue?
Li Dingguo was historically given the title of Prince of Jin, but in this life, several emperors of the Ming Dynasty, such as Zhu Di and the Wanli Emperor, had left written instructions forbidding the conferral of the title of Prince of Jin to anyone else. Therefore, Li Dingguo was given the title of Loyal Prince.
The eunuch said, “No, Your Majesty, it’s not the Loyal Prince who has come to the rescue. According to the people outside, when the three thousand Myanmar soldiers were about to slaughter our loyal ministers and generals of the Great Ming, a divine being suddenly descended from the sky. This divine being can control thousands of sword energies, and in just a few moments, he killed all three thousand Myanmar soldiers.”
“Moreover, this divine being also claimed to be the Old Ancestor of Prince Jin Peng Yi, that is, the First Generation Prince Jin Peng Feng in historical legends.”
“What!” Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang was shocked.
As a member of the imperial family.
He had read some of the imperial family’s records.
It said that in the past, there were some martial artists who could fly in the sky and escape on earth.
In the imperial records, it was written with great certainty.
Of course, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang, like everyone else before, didn’t believe it at all. He had never seen a martial artist who could fly in the sky and escape on earth in his entire life. To say there were martial artists who could fly in the sky and escape on earth, the ancestors must have been joking.
But,
Now,
Listening to the tone of these people, a martial artist who could fly in the sky and escape on earth had really appeared.
Of course, even so.
Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang still didn’t quite believe it.
He still stood up and ran outside to take a look. He saw people lying dead all over the ground, each one bleeding.
This…
The three thousand Myanmar soldiers were indeed all annihilated.
In other words, the ancestors hadn’t lied. There really were martial artists who could fly in the sky and escape on earth.
Moreover, this martial artist claimed to be Peng Feng.
Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang couldn’t help but recall some things.
When he was young, he had once seen a document in the top-secret records of the Ming Dynasty’s imperial family.
This document was about a person named Peng Feng.
It said in this document that there were many, many strong martial artists in the Martial Artist Era, but the truly strongest martial artist was the only living True Immortal, Peng Feng.
It was said that this person could live forever, having lived from the Northern Song Dynasty all the way to the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, it was said that this person could split mountains and cut off rivers.
It was said that this person single-handedly destroyed the Western Xia, Liao, Jin, and Mongol states, and defeated the Fusang nation that landed in Korea.
It was said that this person had once killed Xu Fu, who was two thousand years old.
It was said that this person had even slain a real dragon.
When Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang saw this document in his youth, he wanted to laugh. This was too fantastical.
One person destroying several countries.
And there was also a person who had lived for two thousand years.
And dragons.
โโโ
This was simply as fantastical as the Monkey King Sun Wukong. It was obviously a myth, a legend, fake. He didn’t know which idiot would put such information in the imperial family’s top-secret records. It was really funny.
But,
Now,
That legendary, only living True Immortal.
Had really appeared before his eyes.
For a moment, Zhu Youlang was still a little unable to accept it.
But then he thought, what was there for him to be unable to accept?
The Ming Dynasty had already lost everything, and if things continued like this, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.
If this Peng Feng was really as powerful as the only living True Immortal recorded in the imperial family’s records, then the ones who would be in trouble would be the Manchu Qing.
So, he would take a gamble.
Immediately, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang walked in front of Peng Feng and said respectfully, “Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor of the Great Ming, pays his respects to the only living True Immortal, Senior Peng.”
Peng Feng nodded, “Unexpectedly, in this era, there are still people who remember my title. So you are the current emperor of the Great Ming, Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang. You don’t look like Zhu Di, but you do look somewhat like Zhu Yijun.”
Zhu Yijun was the Wanli Emperor, also known as Emperor Shenzong of Ming.
Zhu Youlang was startled, “Senior has met Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Shenzong?”
Peng Feng nodded, “In the past, after I killed Demon Teacher Pang Ban, both Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen came to pay their respects to me. As for Wanli, he was by my side when I killed Xu Fu in the past, how could I not have known?”
Everyone who heard this sentence was shocked.
They all felt that this sentence was really too high-level.
The high-level point one: Emperor Chengzu was a figure from more than two hundred years ago, which meant that he had been alive for hundreds of years. Wasn’t that high-level?
The high-level point two: How high was Emperor Chengzu’s status in the Great Ming? He was only second to Emperor Taizu, and yet, listen to the implication of his words, Emperor Chengzu went to pay his respects to him.
Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang smiled, “In the imperial family’s records, there is information about the only living True Immortal. With Senior Peng’s help, I will definitely be able to kill Wu Sangui and restore the Divine Land.”
Peng Feng shook his head, “In the past, when I killed Nurhaci, I left behind a survivor, Huang Taiji, who actually dared to invade the Central Plains while I was away. He really is courting death. Now that I have awakened, I will definitely exterminate the Manchus.”
Hearing Peng Feng’s words.
The people present were once again shocked.
This sentence was also high-level.
Huang Taiji’s status in the Manchu Qing was also extremely high. He was the grandfather of the current Emperor Kang Mazi.
And Peng Feng directly called Huang Taiji a survivor. This was really too domineering.
Awesome.
Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang laughed heartily. He then wanted to appoint Peng Feng as the State Preceptor, but Peng Feng refused. Even Zhu Di was not qualified to appoint him as the State Preceptor, so how could a mere Emperor Yongli be qualified to appoint him as the State Preceptor? It was laughable.
Of course, Peng Feng didn’t leave the bamboo city and stayed there temporarily.
โโโ
There was only one reason why Peng Feng temporarily stayed in the bamboo city.
Because, according to the historical trajectory, Wu Sangui would be coming soon.
Coming to Myanmar to capture Emperor Yongli Zhu Youlang.
He only needed to stay here and wait for Wu Sangui to come and court death.
Of course, the Eleventh Generation Prince Jin Peng Yi also surrounded Peng Feng, “Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, it was so cool how you swept away thousands of people with one sword strike. Can you teach me?”
Peng Feng shook his head, “More than sixty years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared without a trace, and no one can practice martial arts anymore. You are naturally no exception. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was still present, the Ten Thousand Forms Three Wonders that I passed down would have been the strongest martial arts in the world, without exception. If you practiced it, you would at least reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.”
He originally wanted to say at least a Land Immortal, but thinking of the salted fish that was the Ninth Generation Prince Jin Peng Xian, he decided to just say the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Peng Yi was a little disappointed, but he also thought it through. So, the Ten Thousand Forms Three Wonders passed down by their ancestors was real. He must make sure that future generations keep it well. What if the spiritual energy recovered one day? Wouldn’t his descendants all become experts then?
I was too engrossed in reading today, so the update was late. Sorry, there will be another update tonight.
