Chapter 146 General Gao, have you ever heard that a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in?
"Who could have thought that the Duke of Qi of the Sui Dynasty, the new generation of the Sui Dynasty's military god, the number one person in the military, would actually appear in the Ming Dynasty and even ride on the Ming Emperor's dragon sedan chair."

"Haha, interesting, really interesting. Could it be that General Gao Changsheng, who is hailed as the new generation leader of the Sui Dynasty, actually wants to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and join the Ming Dynasty?"

"If this is true, it will really shake up Jiuzhou."

After communicating with Zhu Houzhao, Gao Changsheng did not stay for long, but left the palace directly.

When leaving, Zhu Houzhao also sent out his dragon sedan chair, and Yu Huatian was still responsible for sending him back.

However, the dragon chariot stopped suddenly not long after it started moving.

At some point, a luxurious carriage appeared in front of us, blocking the way of the dragon chariot.

A crisp, teasing voice slowly came out from the carriage.

"Who are you, you have the guts to stop the Holy Emperor?"

Before Gao Changsheng could react, Yu Huatian shouted angrily.

Even though Yu Huatian is still unknown, he always maintains a respectful attitude in front of Gao Changsheng.

But it doesn’t mean that the other party is easy to bully.

From the previous conversation, it can be seen that Yu Huatian has a hidden ambition in his heart.

Moreover, although he was respectful to Gao Changsheng, he did not appear to be too humble. This was enough to show that he had his own pride in his heart.

It can be said that as he had always been following Zhu Houzhao and serving him personally, his status was only inferior to that of a few others.

If it weren't for the distance and if he knew that Zhu Houzhao had a different attitude towards Gao Changsheng, he would never have behaved like that.

Looking at the Ming Dynasty as a whole, apart from the East Factory, the Hulong Villa, and several important officials in the court, few people dared to be presumptuous in front of Yu Huatian.

But now, in front of the Ming Imperial Palace, someone actually dared to block Zhu Houzhao's dragon sedan so openly.

Especially when Yu Huatian was driving, this was not only a slap in the face of Yu Huatian, but also a slap in the face of Zhu Houzhao.

Of course Yu Huatian couldn't ignore it.

"is it?"

The clear voice sounded again.

"Your Majesty, that's great. We came to Ming this time as envoys, but there were too many people from other countries, so we never had the chance to see the Emperor."

"Now that the Holy Emperor is here, it is truly a fate. Please show yourself to see us. As for our rudeness, we will apologize to Him in person."

As the voice spread, two figures walked out of the carriage, but did not get off. Instead, they just stood there, waiting for Yu Huatian's response.

These are two young men, both of whom appear to be quite outstanding.

Especially the person standing on the left, although he is wearing men's clothes, he unconsciously exudes a unique charm in his every frown and smile.

"you……"

Yu Huatian was so excited that he was choked with speech.

The other party seemed to be asking to see Zhu Houzhao, but his tone was casual and not only lacked much respect, but also had a teasing tone, which clearly confirmed that the person in the carriage was not Zhu Houzhao.

However, from the other party's words, Yu Huatian also vaguely heard their identities.

"What a sharp tongue you have. Which country are you envoys from?"

Yu Huatian was not an ordinary person either. The attitudes of these people clearly showed that they had extraordinary origins, and there was not much respect for the Ming Dynasty in their words.

In addition, if he is on a diplomatic mission, there is no need to guess his identity, and the country behind him must be strong.

"The unrivaled cavalry roams the northern desert, looking down upon the nine continents. Great is Qian Yuan."

The young man said softly.

"Mongol Yuan people." Yu Huatian's eyes darkened. "You are so bold that you dare to come to my Ming Dynasty and even dare to stop your Majesty's distinguished guest. Are you tired of living?"

"Hahaha." The young man laughed sweetly and said nonchalantly:
"There is an old saying among the people of the Central Plains: when two countries are at war, they do not kill the envoys. This time, our Yuan Dynasty is delivering a letter of credence in a generous manner. It is both a diplomatic mission and a way to congratulate Mr. Yangming on his ascension to the throne."

"I think neither the Emperor Ming nor the Saint Wang would be so petty, right?"

After saying that, he ignored Yu Huatian and continued to look at the carriage.

"But this distinguished guest really makes me curious."

"I didn't expect that General Gao would be treated so well in the Ming Dynasty."

"Could it be that my previous guess really came true? That would be really interesting."

The woman blinked her eyes and looked at the dragon chariot in the distance, but to her regret, there was no response sound from within the dragon chariot, not even a fluctuation of breath.

"I don't have time to argue with you. Get out of the way. Since you are here as an envoy, stay in the state guesthouse and don't hang around outside. This is Ming Dynasty, not your capital."

"As for your majesty, I will summon you when the time comes."

Yu Huatian waved his hand impatiently.

But the woman opposite ignored him and continued to stare at the carriage of the dragon sedan.

A pair of black eyes, like stars, constantly radiate light.

"After saying so much, General Gao, are you really not going to show up? I have heard of your great name for a long time."

"I wonder if I will have the honor to see his true face today."

As she spoke, the corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly.

Although she was dressed in men's clothes, even a special person like Yu Huatian could admit in his heart that the appearance of this Mongolian woman was indeed quite stunning.

"Minmin Temur."

A light voice finally came from the carriage.

But Gao Changsheng did not appear.

However, under the gazes of several people, the doors in front of the dragon sedan slowly opened to both sides.

And looking at Gao Changsheng who was sitting in the carriage indifferently.

The woman also smiled sweetly, and in an instant, the space around her seemed to become brighter.

"I never thought that General Gao actually knew my maiden name. I am so honored."

"However, I still hope that General Gao will call me by another name, Zhao Min."

Zhao Min looked at Gao Changsheng with shining eyes and smiled.

"What's the matter with you stopping my carriage?"

Gao Changsheng spoke calmly.

"Don't bother talking nonsense. I am not Yu Huatian, nor am I from the Ming Dynasty. Those words like "don't kill the envoys" are useless to me."

Zhao Min's pupils paused, but the smile on her face did not change at all.

"Alas, General Gao, why do you have to keep people at a distance like this?"

"As a grown man, don't you have any sympathy for women?"

Zhao Min spoke in a soft voice, with an aggrieved expression on her face, and anyone who saw it would probably feel pity.

“It’s still nonsense.”

Gao Changsheng snorted softly.

The sound of a sword suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

Zhao Min's originally rosy face turned pale in an instant.

The man who had been standing beside her without saying a word suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of her.

Gao Changsheng raised his eyes and glanced at the man lightly, but without stopping at all, he just passed him by.

This action also caused a flash of fire to instantly rise in the man's eyes.

"This is a warning. If you keep talking nonsense, I will not be polite."

"Or you can take a gamble and see if he can protect the life of you, the Princess of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, from my sword."

When the voice fell, Zhao Min's body shook involuntarily.

The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he took a step forward, bypassing the man blocking his way.

"General Gao has misunderstood. We are indeed here on a diplomatic mission this time."

"I wasn't provoking you just now. What I said was true. I have long admired young heroes like General Gao."

"But since I have seen you, I have something to say to you."

"The two generations of the Gao family have made great contributions to the Sui Dynasty, but the Sui Dynasty has not treated you well over the years. If it weren't for the destruction of Goguryeo, you would have to bear the burden of being a Duke of Qi in name only for the rest of your life."

"Why would a general risk his life for such an emperor and such a country?"

"Besides, although the Great Sui Dynasty seems powerful, the root of the trouble is deep-seated and domestic turmoil has already emerged. It is impossible for old Yang Lin alone to stabilize the situation."

"Why would a genius like the general want to follow a ship that is doomed to be broken and leaky?"

Having said this, Zhao Min raised her head and said in a loud voice:
"On the other hand, our Yuan Dynasty has a mighty army and is invincible. Both Genghis Khan and Mongke Khan are great leaders who will surely rule the world in the future."

"As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. A hero like the general must be able to see the situation clearly. If the general can join the Mongols, his future will surely be limitless."

"Finished?"

After finishing a long paragraph, Gao Changsheng raised his eyes.

"I wonder what General Gao thinks?" A smile reappeared on Zhao Min's face.

"ridiculous."

Gao Changsheng spoke indifferently, and as the voice spread, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out in the surrounding space.

A powerful aura surged forward like a tide.

In an instant, the carriage that Zhao Min and the other person were riding in seemed to have turned into a leaf in the rolling sea waves.

Both Zhao Min and the man next to her turned pale with fright in an instant.

It wasn't because of the carriage that was shaking and about to overturn.

Instead, the two of them could clearly feel that an extremely sharp sword intent had appeared and might descend directly at the next moment.

"Om."

At this moment, an invisible energy was emitted from the carriage, and the originally shaking carriage stabilized instantly.

It was like a mountain pressing down, firmly holding the carriage in place. Even if the wind and waves were strong, they could not do anything to this section of the carriage.

"boom!"

Just at the moment when the true energy appeared in the carriage.

A shocking loud noise erupted in the sky.

Almost everyone in Yanjing City raised their heads at this moment.

Everyone saw that in the white clouds above the sky, a sword light like a giant dragon was slowly rising.

Yu Huatian, who was on the dragon chariot, also felt his scalp tingling at this moment.

He was the closest and could feel it clearly.

Behind him, it was as if a terrifying beast had suddenly awakened at this moment.

Before this, he had heard about how terrifying and powerful Gao Changsheng was.

But those were just news on paper. Only at this moment did he personally feel the true meaning of the word powerful.

"If you want to fight, then show up and fight."

An extremely calm voice came out of Gao Changsheng's mouth.

But everyone could sense the powerful sword intent contained in the voice.

Upon hearing this, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes and raised his head.

He knew very well that Gao Changsheng was definitely not referring to the man and woman standing outside.

In fact, if it weren't for the true energy that appeared in the carriage at the end, he would not have noticed that there was actually someone sitting in the carriage.

From this, it can be seen that the person who has not appeared must be a terrifying master.

"Hahaha, what a domineering sword, what a great Gao Changsheng."

Finally, a powerful sound was heard in the carriage.

Just a sound made Yu Huatian feel his scalp tingling instantly.

Gao Changsheng also narrowed his eyes, and his pupils had turned vertical. Upon closer inspection, it looked like two sharp knives reflected in his eyes.

"There is no need for a war."

"I am just being quiet and lively, accompanying the young people for a walk, and I have no intention of resorting to violence."

The voice sounded again.

As the voice fell, the carriage that was originally parked on the road suddenly moved sideways several meters and cleared the way.

At this moment, even Zhao Min on the carriage and the man beside her showed surprise.

Obviously no one expected that the person in the car would make such a decision.

Gao Changsheng took a deep look at the carriage before slowly looking away.

The car door that was originally opened was also closed again.

"Mr. Yu, please continue on your way."

Under Yu Huatian's control, the dragon sedan started moving again and soon passed the carriage on the road.

Until the dragon sedan was about to disappear from the corner of the street.

A light voice slowly came.

"Since we have met, let me tell you something. If Temujin is really interested in me, let him come by himself."

"Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring his Thirteen Wings and the Qiexue Cavalry. I also want to see how these so-called Mongol Iron Cavalry are so invincible."

As the last word fell, the dragon sedan completely disappeared from sight.

Zhao Min and the young man stood on the carriage, and no one spoke for a while.

It wasn't until the carriage behind them slowly opened that they woke up.

The car door opened and the person inside revealed his true face.

He was a middle-aged man with a handsome and strange face.

Just sitting there calmly, but it feels like being in another dimension.

His entire body, even the space around him, was constantly distorting.

"Master."

Seeing this person, Zhao Min and the man bowed at the same time.

"how do you feel?"

The man chuckled softly.

Zhao Min raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Very strong, even better than when we met in person, worthy of being the world-famous Gao Changsheng."

The man nodded, then turned to look at the man beside Zhao Min: "Ye Yu, what about you?"

Hearing this, the young man's expression instantly turned ugly. He gritted his teeth unconsciously and then slowly said, "Very strong, stronger than, stronger than me."

"Haha, I am really a little envious of Gao Jiong and Yu Juluo. They actually have such outstanding successors. I have been dominating the world throughout my life, not inferior to others, and the Magic Master Palace is also the most powerful of its generation."

"But each generation is a successor. After me, I'm afraid there will be no one to take over the Magic Master Palace."

After these words were spoken, there was no need to explain further about this person's identity. He was none other than Pang Ban, the greatest magician from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty.

"I am a stupid disciple and have brought trouble to our Master." They both bowed at the same time.

"Never mind. In the martial arts world, it is difficult to change things based on human will."

"Ye Yu's identity is complicated, so it is difficult for him to devote all his energy to martial arts. As for Min Min, your talent is even higher than Ye Yu's. What a pity..."

Pang Ban shook his head and said nothing more.

"Disciple is terrified." The two men saluted again.

"Forget it, Gao Changsheng has also met him, let's go back."

Hearing this, Zhao Min quickly raised her head, and a look of doubt was visible in her beautiful eyes.

"Are you wondering why I didn't respond to Gao Changsheng and instead gave way to him?"

Zhao Min nodded repeatedly.

Gao Changsheng is domineering and strong, but his master also has a strong personality and believes that those who obey me will prosper.

Gao Changsheng's sword intent appeared in the air, which was a clear invitation to fight.

According to Pang Ban's character, there was no way he could refuse.

As for being afraid, Zhao Min simply couldn't believe it.

Who is Pang Ban? He is a magician who has dominated the martial arts world for decades. How could he be afraid of him?

"There is one thing I said, I did not lie. This time when I entered Ming, I felt more quiet and lively, and did not have much intention of taking action." Pang Ban smiled lightly.

But after hearing this, Zhao Min's eyes did reveal obvious disbelief.

Perhaps before setting off, Pang Ban really hadn't thought about taking action.

But who is he? He is a magician, a demon.

Things like thoughts can change at any time, otherwise how can they be called demons.

"Hahaha."

Pang Ban also laughed when he saw this.

"Yes, Gao Changsheng's strength is beyond my expectations and has aroused my fighting spirit."

"Unfortunately, now is not the right time."

"Ok?"

Zhao Min looked puzzled when she heard this.

"Of course I can fight back, but with such a sudden encounter, neither he nor I can raise our fighting spirit to the peak. This kind of battle will definitely not be enjoyable."

"Moreover, Gao Changsheng has just reached the Grandmaster level. Although his combat power is far beyond his current level, it is still growing rapidly. It would be a pity to fight him at this time."

Hearing this, both Zhao Min and Fang Yeyu were stunned.

"in addition……"

Pang Ban's voice sounded again:
"This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it's not suitable for a major war."

As he spoke, Pang Ban slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.

That is where the Ming Dynasty Palace is located.

Following Pang Ban's action, Zhao Min and the other person also turned their heads one after another.

Then they were shocked to find that a cloud of extremely strange color had appeared in the sky above the palace at some point.

Looking closely, it looked like a pair of human eyes, staring at them intently.

"Master, that, that is..." The two exclaimed at the same time.

"Haha, he discovered it as soon as I entered the city."

"Perhaps it's because the new saint of the Ming Dynasty has just appeared. He is not so impatient this time."

"But allowing me to wander around Yanjing is probably the maximum tolerance he has."

"If I take direct action, I'm afraid the first person I'll have to deal with is the one in the palace."

"This……"

Zhao Min swallowed and felt horrified.

She didn't expect that everything they did after entering the city would be under the watchful eyes of others.
