Chapter 500: Nowhere to be found after wearing iron shoes
Zhu Yuanzhang had a perfectly round face, and his appearance could even be described as majestic.
Otherwise, Guo Zixing would not have asked him to serve as his personal soldier as soon as he saw him.
At that time, there were four groups of rebels in Haozhou City, and Guo Zixing was just one of them. He often brought his own soldiers to meet with the other three. If Zhu Chongba really looked like that, Guo Zixing would have told him to get as far away as possible. Why? Maybe it would be embarrassing to take him out?
It was even more impossible to marry his old brother's daughter, his adopted daughter Ma Xiuying, to him against all the opinions.
Just think about it, as soon as you enter the company, your boss will arrange for him to drive for you at the head office, and you will also marry your goddaughter... who is a serious goddaughter. Is this such a shameful thing?
You have to be a talented person from all over the country to have such a dream.

"We have never seen the grand master's face." Seeing that Lao Liu only questioned Emperor Hongwu's appearance and did not object to treating him as the grand master, Shu Laibao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly smiled and said:
"It's all based on my imagination after listening to legends. Even though this appearance is a bit... different from ordinary people, it is an extraordinary appearance."
"Still awesome?" Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Yes, it is said that Emperor Hongwu had strange bones running through his head, a dragon face and a curvy beard. He had seventy-two black moles on his body, which coincides with the number of earth evil spirits. Eighteen of them on his face symbolize the help of the eighteen Arhats..."
"Okay..." Lao Liu always thought that the Tatars were trying to trick him by painting the old thief like this, but now he realized that it was actually the appearance of an emperor imagined by the common people.
"If the gang leader doesn't think it looks like it, you can draw one yourself and replace it." Shu Laibao said carefully.
"No need, how can Tianyan be easily revealed to others? This one is quite good." Lao Liu shook his head. Anyway, changing it to this one would make no sense.
Let them spread the love among the people, and it can also help ugly men regain their confidence.
He took over the position of gang leader instead of me, and then issued the first order.
"Hurry up and take this gang leader to see that person!"
"As ordered." Shu Laibao responded loudly and led Lao Liu and others to the abbot's room in the backyard.
"This temple was originally a yellow temple. Later, when the Yuan Dynasty fell, the lamas also withdrew, and the place was abandoned." Shu Laibao introduced:
"We beggars quickly occupied this place. Later, someone accidentally discovered that there was a dark room here, and I occupied the abbot's Zen room." He and Hu Quan pushed away the Zen bed and stone slabs, and said happily:
"Thanks to this secret room, I have been able to hide this person until now without being discovered by the government."
~~
When the stone slab was pushed open, the strong smell of medicine hit their faces, and a dark tunnel entrance appeared in front of everyone.
"Brother Zhao, don't panic, it's me." Shu Laibao said, pulling out a burning piece of wood from the brazier as a torch, holding it and leading two guards down.
After a while, a man with a sick face and blindfolded eyes was lifted up using the door panel.
"Zhao Zheng!" Hu Quan recognized the man at a glance. He was an old brother from Hujiazhuang.
"Uncle!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he raised his hand to remove the black cloth from his eyes.
But Hu Quan held him down and said: "Don't act recklessly, you will go blind!"
"Uuuu, uncle, I thought I would never see you again..." Zhao Zheng grabbed Hu Quan's hand and knew that he had definitely not recognized the wrong person.
"Okay, you and Zhang Rong are good friends." Hu Quan choked with tears in his eyes: "I have not embarrassed His Highness, nor has I embarrassed Hujiazhuang."
As he spoke, he said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness is also here to pick you up."
"Ah? Your Highness is here too?" Zhao Zheng was immediately at a loss.
"That's right, I'm here to pick you up too." Lao Liu said loudly: "Zhao Zheng, you have suffered. I will seek justice for you and my senior brother!"
"Oh, Your Highness, we both deserve death!" When Zhao Zheng heard the voice of Lao Liu, he struggled to the ground, kowtowed and cried: "We failed to protect Liu Shenzheng!"
As he spoke, he coughed violently.
"Hurry up and help him lie down." Lao Liu hurriedly ordered the people around him, and then said to Zhao Zheng: "The death of senior brother is my responsibility and has nothing to do with you. If you are carrying out his mission and encounter an attack, if you can escape,
Bringing things out is already very valuable."
"Wow, there are too many of them. Brother Zhang was hacked to death by them in order to protect me..." Zhao Zheng was crying when he suddenly remembered something serious. He quickly picked up his pillow, held it up with both hands and said, "This is it."
We have finally fulfilled our mission with what Liu Shenzheng wanted to hand over to His Highness."
"Okay, you're all fine." Lao Liu took the heavy baggage with tears in his eyes.
While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside. A little beggar ran over in panic and screamed: "No, the officers and soldiers are here! They are surrounding us!"
"Why are you panicking? The gang leader is here!" Shu Laibao shouted in a deep voice: "Xiong Qitai comes in person, and when he sees the gang leader, he still doesn't kneel down like shit?"
After seeing Zhao Zheng's actions, he was already convinced of Lao Liu's identity, so he didn't panic at all.
However, Lao Liu was a little panicked. If Xiong Qitai wanted to support him, it would be a bit troublesome.
"What, gang leader?" Shu Laibao felt his heart skip a beat when he saw Lao Liu's expression was different.
"I didn't report you." Lao Liu said with some embarrassment, "I was deceiving you before."
"Ah?" Shu Laibao's mouth opened wide, this sixth...
"Who recruited those officers and soldiers?" he asked again.
"You still have to ask? There is a mole around you." Teacher Luo finally put on his glasses, and the world became clear again. "Look who is not there now?"
"Deputy gang leader!" Shu Laibao said bitterly. He had not seen the old beggar just now and was wondering what he was doing.
"Brothers, copycats! Fight with them!" Shu Laibao shouted fiercely.
"No." Lao Liu waved his hand and regained his composure and said: "My king, just walk out from the gate and see who of them dares to touch me!"
"Quickly, change your clothes!" Luo Guanzhong shouted hurriedly.
~~
Outside the dilapidated temple, the officers and soldiers of Jiangxi Dusi were already in their respective positions and surrounded the dilapidated temple.
The capital commander Wang Bi personally came to take command, and Xiong Qitai also came.
"It's just a few shabby beggars. There's no need for the feudal lord to come in person. They think too highly of them." Wang Bi was a handsome man with handsome eyes and a beautiful beard. He was a rare handsome guy.
"General, don't be careless. According to reliable information, the person we are looking for is in this temple." Xiong Qitai said bitterly: "The leader of the Beggar Clan, Shu Laibao, hid him in the secret room of the abbot's house and escaped.
Previous raids.”
"Who is that person? He deserves so much attention from the feudal lord. Now that we have arrived, why can't we reveal it?" Wang Bi asked with a half-smile.
"General, the more you know, the more trouble you will have. I don't tell you, it's for your own good." Xiong Qitai said lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's been so long, and they still haven't opened the door to surrender. They just broke down the door.
Come in, don’t let anyone go!”
Before he finished speaking, he heard a creak and the door of the ruined temple slowly opened.
Then everyone saw a young man with thick eyebrows wearing a blue-bottomed dragon robe, a black gauze winged crown on his head, and a seven-star sword hanging from his waist, standing at the door with his head held high.
"Don't let anyone go? Not including me?!" His Highness the King of Chu looked at Xiong Qitai like a dead person with eyes as bright as lightning.
"Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a prince? Come on, take him down quickly!" After a moment of shock, Xiong Qitai realized that all his struggles were in vain. He was like a gambler who lost his mind and completely lost his mind.
.
"Okay, this is what you said. Everyone heard it. He rebelled!" Lao Liu was overjoyed and raised his voice: "Wang Bi, why are you still standing there? Get this traitor down for me!"
"According to His Majesty's order!" Wang Bi stepped forward without hesitation, kicked Xiong Qitai in the leg socket, and knocked him to the ground. Then he cut off his hands and captured Xiong Qitai.
