Chapter 222 Main Force Fang
"Uncle, I am your nephew, please stop!"

When Zhu Chengwu was about to control the dense spheres of fire floating behind him to completely wipe out Fang Huiju's relatives in the Fang mansion, a loud shout suddenly came from the Fang mansion.

Zhu Chengwu didn't want to pay attention to such "begging for mercy".

Even if he begged for mercy, he would call him father or grandfather, not uncle!

Zhu Chengwu doesn't have the habit of randomly taking advantage of his nephews.

But then Zhu Chengwu remembered what his cousin Zhao Qingya had said when she stopped him outside the Ming Palace, and his movements suddenly stopped.

"My cousin Zhu Xiulan changed her status, gave up her dignity as a princess, and became the concubine of the nephew of Queen Mother Fang Huijue..."

Isn’t Zhao Qingya’s cousin Zhu Chengwu’s biological sister?

Zhu Chengwu, the supreme grandmaster, activated his powerful spiritual perception and went deep into the Fang family mansion. He immediately discovered the mother and son sitting on the chairs at the end of the lobby.

The moment he discovered the mother and son, Zhu Chengwu immediately felt his blood throbbing.

Zhu Chengwu's entire attention had previously been on the Fang clan members. He was thinking about how to hunt down the Fang clan members in other places after destroying them in the capital. Otherwise, Zhu Chengwu would have discovered the fact that there was someone in the Fang family mansion who was extremely close to him by blood.

It was also at this time that Zhu Chengwu recalled the strange behavior of Fang Huiju, the king's wife, and her children when he mentioned the name Zhu Xiulan in the court hall of the Ming Palace.

For many things, when you recall and trace them back later, you will find that there were already traces!

It just depends on whether you noticed it or not...

"Sister Wang, I didn't expect you to have such a back-up plan?

In order to preserve the Fang family's inheritance, you really did everything you could!
You and the Queen Mother are indeed of the same kind, your mother’s clan is above all else!"

Zhu Chengwu stopped what he was doing and sighed inwardly.

Fang Huiju's move was indeed brilliant, and it even put the invincible Zhu Chengwu into a dilemma.

Sensing that the fire-attributed vital energy outside the Fang residence was finally no longer fluctuating so violently, the Fang family members in the Fang family lobby breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Zhu Chengwu would take action directly without hearing the sound just now.

Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an, was even more tyrannical than the rumors said. He was more obsessed with speed and efficiency. He didn't even enter the gate of Fang's house, but wanted to destroy the house and kill all the Fang family members in it.

They were almost wiped out by Zhu Chengwu before they could even use the backup plan that they had been preparing for more than 20 years, which had also disgusted them for more than 20 years!
If that's the case, then they are really at a loss!
After all, the existence of Zhu Xiulan and her son not only put Zhu Chengwu in a dilemma, but also made them feel disgusted for more than 20 years.

More than 20 years ago, Zhu Xiulan's mother, Zhao Yushan, who was the queen of the time, broke into the Fang family mansion and killed Fang Xuedao, the then head of the Fang family. The old people in the Fang family still remember it clearly.

If it wasn't the intention of Fang Huiju, the Fang family's greatest support, to let Fang Shenyi marry Zhu Xiulan, the daughter of his father's murderer, as a concubine, the Fang family would never have accepted it even if Zhu Xiulan was the legitimate daughter of the Zhu royal family, a princess, or a concubine.

During the more than 20 years that Zhu Xiulan was a concubine, except for the initial time when Fang Shenyi made Zhu Xiulan pregnant according to Fang Huiqi's plan, neither Fang Shenyi nor Fang Shenyi's mother had ever set foot in the courtyard where Zhu Xiulan lived.

Whether Zhu Xiulan gave birth, was sick, or had any other situation.

The small courtyard where Zhu Xiulan lived was like an isolated place in the Fang family. No one cared about it and no one came to visit.

No one cares and no one causes trouble!
Including Fang Shenyi's legal wife, Ai Zhuling, and Ai Zhuling's children, none of them had ever taken the initiative to cause trouble for Zhu Xiulan and her son, who had been isolated from the world in the small courtyard.

Even a few months ago, before Zhu Chengwu reappeared, Ai Zhuling's children had never even seen Zhu Xiulan and her son.

Reality is not a movie or TV drama, let alone a novel. It will not make unreasonable decisions or behaviors just to highlight conflicts.

Everyone knows the purpose of the existence of Zhu Xiulan and her son. Why did Fang Huiju, the queen at the time, insist that Fang Shenyi take Zhu Xiulan as a concubine, even disregarding the fact that Zhu Xiulan was the daughter of Zhao Yushan, who killed Fang Xuedao?

All this is to deal with the disappearance of Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu!

In order to deal with the possible threat posed by the reappearance of Fu'an Hou Zhu Chengwu!
More than 20 years have passed, and the Fang family originally felt that the existence of Zhu Xiulan and her son had become useless. Fu'an Marquis Zhu Chengwu had met with an accident and would never reappear in the world!

They are even thinking about how to remove the thorn in their eyes and flesh, Zhu Xiulan and her son!

But unexpectedly, a few months ago, news suddenly came out that Zhu Chengwu had reappeared, and along with the news of Zhu Chengwu's reappearance there was also the record of Zhu Chengwu defeating the combined forces of thirteen masters, one against thirteen.

News of Zhu Chengwu's achievements forced the Fang family to think about Zhu Xiulan and her son again.

At the same time, the Fang family members also began to admire Fang Huiju, the married daughter of the Fang family, more and more.

Not only did he change the incompetent crown prince Zhu Chengzhi at the time and help him secure his position as crown prince, he also helped the crown prince ascend the throne. After Zhu Chengzhi's death, he helped his son ascend the throne of the Ming King.

At the same time, even when Fang Huiju had an absolute advantage, he did not forget to be prepared for danger and left Zhu Xiulan as a backup.

If it weren't for Zhu Xiulan and her son as a backup, the Fang family really didn't know how they would deal with Zhu Chengwu's reappearance.

Zhu Chengwu was already strong enough twenty-five years ago.

What’s more, twenty-five years later, Zhu Chengwu achieved a stunning victory that shook the six dynasties.

If Zhu Chengwu attacks the Fang family, the Fang family will not be able to resist at all.

You know, twenty-five years ago, as the maternal family, wife's family and diehard fans of Crown Prince Zhu Chengzhi, they were the ones who contributed the most in the destruction of Fu'an Marquis' Mansion.

Twenty-five years ago, when the Duke of Yan returned from the Nanzhu Kingdom, he brought back the news that Zhu Chengwu and Narcissus had disappeared together, and also obtained the news of another high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth, the Yang Lei Zhenyan.

In order to prevent Zhu Chengwu from having time to digest the Yang Lei Zhen Yan and become stronger, Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju had to find a way to force Zhu Chengwu to show up as soon as possible and fight a decisive battle with him before he digested the second high-level rare Yang Lei Zhen Yan.

Finally, they set their sights on the Marquis of Fu'an Mansion, which Zhu Chengwu had spent a great deal of effort and more than ten years to build.

As Zhu Chengwu's biggest competitor, both Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju could vaguely sense that Zhu Chengwu was emotionally indifferent, and that his relationship with Zhao and Zhao Yushan was not very deep.

The so-called closest and strongest alliance relationship is nothing more than the best choice after constantly weighing the pros and cons.

Compared with the Zhao family, his ally, the Fu'an Marquisate, which Zhu Chengwu regards as his own, is definitely more valued by Zhu Chengwu and has a deeper bond with him.

Twenty-five years ago, Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju decided to attack the Fu'an Marquis Mansion to force Zhu Chengwu to show up, but at that time Zhu Chengwu had just disappeared and his influence was still there. In order to unite their forces to destroy the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju had to show their determination. The determination to succeed, and the determination to take revenge after the disappeared Zhu Chengwu reappeared.

The Duke of Yan, the direct line of the Crown Prince's Mansion, and the Fang family are the best ways to show your determination.

The Duke of Yan was a member of the Zhu royal family and the most powerful supporter of Crown Prince Zhu Chengwu among the Zhu royal family.

The direct line of the Prince's Mansion is the most loyal force that the Prince has gathered over the years.

As for the Fang family...

The Fang family is not only the maternal and wife's family of Crown Prince Zhu Chengwu, but also the crown prince's most staunch supporter.

Only if the Fang family takes action and becomes the main force to destroy the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, will other forces that are optimistic about Zhu Chengzhi dare to cooperate with them to the best of their ability.

It was thanks to the full participation of the Duke of Yan, the direct line of the Prince's Mansion, and the Fang family, as well as the full cooperation of other forces, that the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in Xuzhou City was destroyed by Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju without any resistance after Zhu Chengwu disappeared.

After all, the Fu'an Marquis Mansion at that time had certain internal divisions because success was just around the corner. The various factions were not convinced by each other. Only Zhu Chengwu could integrate the power of the various factions and bring the power of the entire Fu'an Marquis Mansion together. No one else, whether it was Cui Shuyun, Zhao Xinghan or Gao Yao, could do it.

After Zhu Chengwu disappeared, the various factions in the Fu'an Marquisate became like a pile of loose sand. Not only were they unable to fully cooperate, they also hindered each other.

Under such circumstances, how could they be a match for Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju?

It is no wonder that people from different factions in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion would pull each other's legs. Before the final result came out, no one thought that the Fu'an Marquis Mansion would be destroyed like this.

Almost everyone in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion felt that Zhu Chengwu would definitely show up.

When Zhu Chengwu appeared, that was the time for Fu'an Hou to turn defeat into victory.

Even the four great masters of Shaolin and so many Yangshen-level masters in Nanzhu Kingdom could not do anything to Zhu Chengwu, not to mention the direct descendants of the Prince's Mansion and the Fang Family led by Zhu Chengwu's defeated general, Duke Yan.

At that time, not to mention the people in Fu'an Marquis' Mansion, even Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju themselves felt that Zhu Chengwu would definitely reappear.

Because once Zhu Chengwu reappears, even if they have made many arrangements, paid many favors, invited many masters to help, and even hid Fang Huiju, the new Yang God, Zhu Chengwu is more likely to be injured in the battle with the four masters of Shaolin Temple and the battle with Nanzhu Kingdom, and their chance of winning is only 50% at most.

Zhu Chengwu was too powerful, and when he led a large army into Beijing without an imperial edict, he had already exposed many of his allies.

Once Zhu Chengwu appears, his allies will most likely appear at the same time!

With such a winning rate, there is no reason for Zhu Chengwu not to show up!
Unfortunately, contrary to everyone's expectations, even though there was at least a 50% chance of winning, Zhu Chengwu never showed up until the Fu'an Marquisate was completely defeated.

Seeing that something was not right, Tong Yinzhong, Huashan Divine Sword Feng Qingyang and Zhao Yuguang of the Zhao family suddenly took action and rescued several people they thought were important to Zhu Chengwu, leaving behind a connection point so that they could reconnect with Zhu Chengwu after he reappeared.

Of course, because Zhao Yuguang had a close relationship with Zhu Chengwu and was angry with Zhu Chengwu, he only saved Zhu Chengwu's maid Qiuyue and Cui Rongwei, two people who were relatively unimportant to Zhu Chengwu.

Zhao Yuguang doesn't need to save people who are relatively important to Zhu Chengwu. He just needs to prove that he has saved someone before, which is enough to get back in touch with Zhu Chengwu!
In fact, just Tong Yinzhong, the Huashan Divine Sword Feng Qingyang, and Zhao Yuguang of the Zhao family, who rescued some people in the Fu'an Marquis Mansion, were enough to make Zhu Chengzhi, Fang Huiju and the masters they had worked so hard to gather fearful.

It’s just a pity that without Zhu Chengwu to coordinate, Tong Yinzhong would not have much contact with Feng Qingyang and Zhao Yuguang.

Before completely healing the injuries caused to Long Teng five hundred years ago by the Tong family's magic mirror, and before completely eliminating the threats from the Long and Tong families, Tong Yinzhong needs to hide in the dark.

It was precisely because of the discovery of Zhu Chengwu and other powerful allies who suddenly appeared that the backup experts invited by Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju did not firmly stop them from rescuing people!
Zhu Chengwu’s allies are so strong, not to mention there is an even stronger Zhu Chengwu.

Moreover, what Zhu Chengwu did in Nanzhu Kingdom was not something extremely secretive.

These Grandmasters Yangshen and Junior Grandmasters who served as Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huijue's backers almost all knew through various channels about Zhu Chengwu's strong performance in Nanzhu Kingdom, and the news that Zhu Chengwu had obtained the high-level rare Yang Lei Zhenyan from the spirit of heaven and earth Narcissus.

In fact, if it weren't for the high-level rare treasure of heaven and earth, Yang Lei Zhen Yan, if it weren't for the rumor that the fairy of heaven and earth Narcissus was about to use the twin high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth, Jade Marrow Ice Soul and Silver Dollar Pure Water, to impact the level of Yang Shen, if it weren't for the legend that once Zhu Chengwu obtained the Yang Lei Zhen Yan, he would also use the high-level rare treasures of heaven and earth, the Earth Core Fire Lotus and Yang Lei Zhen Yan, to impact the level of Grandmaster, even if Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju made all kinds of promises, they might not be able to convince so many Grandmaster Yang Shen and Little Grandmaster-level masters to serve as their backup.

Accustomed to having their words be law and to being domineering, the Yangshen masters of powerful forces hardly want the emergence of a Yangshen or master who can easily dominate their fate.

Even if there are some martial arts fanatics, or people who are extremely persistent in achieving the level above Grandmaster or Yang God, they hope that the person who will eventually achieve the level above Grandmaster or Yang God will be themselves, and not someone else.

This was the fundamental reason why Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju were able to persuade so many Grandmaster Yangshen to help them when they destroyed the Fu'an Marquis Mansion and intended to force Zhu Chengwu to show up.

As Grandmaster Yang Shen, who is at the ceiling level of martial arts, if they were not tempted, they would have plenty of excuses to refuse even if it was a king who ascended the throne of Ming Wang, not to mention a prince who has not yet ascended the throne of Ming Wang, and that prince is now slightly at a disadvantage.

Grandmaster Yangshen, as the ultimate foundation of a powerful force, can, to a certain extent, look down on kings and princes!
After all, if you want to kill a grandmaster, if that grandmaster is determined to escape, even sending out three grandmasters of the same level may not be enough.

After all, a master who is escaping will use secret and forbidden techniques to increase his speed and combat power at all costs in order to stay alive. But how many masters who are in the upper hand are willing to use secret and forbidden techniques to affect their foundation or lifespan just for a chase that does not involve their life?
If Zhu Chengwu appeared, these Grandmaster Yangshen who were persuaded by Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju would not mind joining forces once, taking the risk to eliminate Zhu Chengwu, the seed that had the potential to become a Grandmaster, and obtain the methods and possibilities to achieve a level above the Grandmaster from Zhu Chengwu.

After all, although no one has ever achieved a level above Grandmaster, based on the actual performance and fragmentary words of Shaolin Bodhidharma, Wudang Sanfeng and other martial arts legends who were very close to being Grandmaster, it can be inferred that once one achieves a level above Grandmaster, not only will one’s strength improve, but one’s lifespan will also be greatly improved.

As a Grandmaster Yang Shen who is at the ceiling level of martial power, his lifespan is not essentially improved compared to ordinary people. This is the eternal pain of all Grandmaster Yang Shens, and it is also the point that all Grandmaster Yang Shens most want to change.

The people who endure hardships still have an obsession with living.

The Grand Master Yangshens, who believe that the longer they live, the longer they enjoy life, have an even stronger desire to live longer!
Isn’t there a saying?
Longevity can accommodate all desires!

So if Zhu Chengwu appears, they will take action!
But now that Zhu Chengwu has not appeared, they will not stop Zhu Chengwu’s allies such as Tong Yinzhong, Feng Qingyang and Zhao Yuguang from rescuing people!

Everyone knows how powerful Zhu Chengwu is. They also know that Zhu Chengwu has digested the Earth Core Fire Lotus and received news about the Yang Thunder True Flame from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Narcissus. He is preparing to make a breakthrough to the Grandmaster level.

Once Zhu Chengwu succeeds in reaching the Grandmaster level, then...

Now, because Zhu Chengwu did not show up, the backup forces invited by Zhu Chengzhi and Fang Huiju have been hiding in the dark and have not taken any direct action!
If Zhu Chengwu successfully breaks through to the Grandmaster level and reappears, they or the forces they belong to may still have a chance to refute.

And once they take direct action now, they won't have the slightest chance of refutation...

It was precisely because of this idea that Tong Yinzhong, Feng Qingyang, Zhao Yuguang and others were able to rescue some people from Fu'an Marquis Mansion so smoothly.

Of course, it is impossible to rescue them all!

One is insufficient preparation!
Secondly, it would attract the full support of Zhu Chengzhi, Fang Huiju and their secret forces to stop it.

After all, Zhu Chengzhi, Fang Huiju and those Grandmaster Yangshen and Junior Grandmasters who were persuaded by them destroyed the Fu'an Marquis Mansion in order to force Zhu Chengwu to show up.

Once all the important figures in Fu'an Marquis Mansion were rescued, wouldn't their actions this time be a joke?
In that case, what difference would it make whether Zhu Chengwu showed up or not!
