Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 221 The fake Ming envoy would never dare to act like Ban Chao! Ah… (screams and dies)

Nai'er Buhua's soul is in great danger!

Without a second thought, he rushed towards the stables, eager to escape on horseback as quickly as possible.
If the people who came this time were audacious Koreans, even if the incident happened suddenly, he would still be able to muster the courage to lead his men to fight them and stabilize the situation.

But now, he was a damned Ming Dynasty man, and he truly didn't have the courage; he just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, staying here will only lead to certain death!
However, what happened next filled him with despair!
Upon arriving near the stables, they discovered that a considerable number of Ming soldiers had already taken complete control of the area.

Those damned Ming people, how could they be so treacherous and cunning!

Making such arrangements in advance! How utterly shameless!
Nai'er Buhua cursed inwardly, wanting to rush forward and fight these Ming Dynasty people.

However, there were far too many Ming soldiers at the stable, numbering as many as sixty or seventy, and they had already formed a battle formation.

In this situation, even if Nai'er Buhua was unwilling, she had no choice but to quickly turn around and leave, not daring to choose to fight back.

"You bastard! Where do you think you're going! Die, you dog!"

Ping An roared, his long spear moving like a dragon, charging left and right as if entering an empty field.

Wherever the spears went, the Yuan soldiers in front of them immediately lost their lives.

Ping An was already fierce and brave, and when he killed the Tartars, he was also filled with national and personal hatred, which gave him a combat power boost.

Even in a truly fair fight, they are no match for Ping An, let alone at this point.

These Yuan Tartars were in a state of extreme panic and had no will to fight.

In this situation, it would be as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

In an instant, more than twenty people died under his gun.

After killing a Tartar with a single shot, he saw Nairbuhua running wildly not far away.

He didn't know Nai'er Buhua's identity, but that didn't stop Ping An from dealing with him.

They wouldn't even spare a dog, let alone the Yuan Tartars right in front of them.

Without saying a word, Ping An turned his horse around, spurred it on, and charged toward Nai'er Buhua with his spear in hand.

Nai'er Buhua secretly cried out in despair, wondering how she had been targeted by this deadly fellow.

He tried desperately to escape and dodge, but Ping An had already set his sights on him and would not let him get away so easily.
A moment later, realizing that he was in increasing danger and had no chance of escaping, he understood that he was in greater and greater danger.

Nai'er, driven by malice, became ruthless and determined.

Do you really think he's a pushover? That you can bully him at will?
He was also a fierce general! Since these Ming Dynasty bastards were so relentless in their power, let's fight to the death and see who dies!

He roared, no longer dodging, and slashed at Ping An with his long sword, his eyes filled with madness.

The next moment, there was a loud bang, and a long spear arrived first, striking his knife before it could be used.

They simply shoved the knife out of his hand!
Nai'er Buhua was shocked and instinctively tried to roll on the spot, but it was too late.

After the spear knocked the longsword from his hand, it twisted slightly and pierced deep into his chest, cutting him right through.

If I had known, I wouldn't have spent these past few days having fun with these women from Goryeo.

Otherwise, given his abilities, he would never have lost his life so easily!

This was the last thought that existed in Nai'er Buhua's mind before she lost consciousness.

Ping An had no idea that the person he stabbed to death was an official historian sent by the Yuan Dynasty emperor.

After killing the creature with a single shot, he didn't hesitate and went on to kill the rest of the Yuan Dynasty people.

Wenying entrusted this simple task to me, letting me do it while he went to do dangerous missions. I know I'll be safe.

Therefore, on his side, he needs to deal with these Yuan Tartars as quickly as possible.

After completing the task, I'll quickly go and support Brother Wen.

Wenying is thinking of me, so how can I not think of Wenying?
The Ming envoys came prepared, while the Yuan dynasty officials had no idea they would encounter danger in Goryeo and were quite unrestrained.

With both sides acting with cunning and cunning, the battle turned out to be one-sided from the very beginning.

In addition, Ping An made proper arrangements, including killing people, setting fires, sending people to seize the stables, and arranging for people to guard the rear.

It can be said that most of the people were killed in Kaibao Temple.

Only a few people managed to escape through the back gate of Kaibao Temple, but that was all they managed to do.

After exiting through the back door, they were greeted by large shields, long spears, and crossbows that had been prepared in advance.

Without exception, all those who escaped died here.

About 45 minutes later, Ping An led his men to the outside of Kaibao Temple.

Kaibao Temple was already ablaze with flames, which shot into the sky.

At the same time, the stench of burning corpses wafted out, making one want to vomit.

The Yuan Dynasty envoys living here have all been killed.

"Let's go, let's go support Brother Wenying!"

Ping An issued the order without hesitation.

As soon as he gave the order, the elite of the four hundred-plus Ming soldiers responded with a roar and quickly left with Ping An.

The heads of Yuan Dynasty people were hanging from the necks of all the warhorses.

These are all their achievements.

Not only that, but more than 300 high-quality warhorses also became their mounts.

Jin Tao followed Ping An and the others, heading towards the armory.

I'm still dizzy and haven't fully recovered from the intense shock.

That's...it's over? It ended so quickly!
These are elite troops from the Yuan Dynasty!
Li Renren's greatest courage lay in his ability to suppress them, making them submit and daring not to be disrespectful in the slightest.

That's it?
They were like children when facing these people from the Ming Dynasty, completely powerless to fight back!
They were even more vulnerable than the Goryeo army when facing the Yuan Dynasty's army!
What he saw completely overturned his understanding.

He already knew that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful.

He also knew that the Ming army was very capable in battle.

However, there has never been a very clear understanding of it.

But now, these things have become clear: the power of the Ming Dynasty reached an unbelievable level.

It was something they couldn't even imagine.

Originally, he was quite apprehensive about the choice he made tonight.

But now, all those anxieties have vanished.

All I felt was profound shock!
Such a powerful Ming Dynasty was beyond human resistance, let alone something that Goryeo could stop.

Li Renren truly doesn't know the meaning of death, daring to provoke such a powerful being!
The fire at Kaibao Temple had already alarmed some people, and many wanted to put out the fire. However, after seeing the Ming Dynasty soldiers gathered around Kaibao Temple like gods under the firelight, they were deterred from doing so.

Those Koreans who wanted to put out the fire immediately abandoned that idea.

They kept their doors and windows tightly shut, fearing that they might be affected.

What firefighting? That's completely out of the question!
……

The light was still on in Li Renren's room; he hadn't gone to sleep yet.

While this position is undoubtedly prestigious, it also requires him to handle a great deal of affairs.

They worry about too much.

Especially recently, with both Yuan Dynasty envoys and those damned Ming Dynasty envoys gathering here, he has to be even more careful.

After a busy period of time, having finished dealing with government affairs, Li Renren had no desire to sleep, so he picked up a book and began to read to pass the time and clear his mind.

As a result, he was surprised after watching for only a short time.

The reason was simple: at that moment, he happened to witness Ban Chao's mission to the Western Regions and his killing of the Xiongnu envoy.

This startled him, and a sense of worry immediately rose in his heart.

Could it be that people in the Ming Dynasty would do such things?

However, such worries only lasted for a moment before he suppressed them.

Impossible, it definitely won't be like that!
Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty people had just arrived and could not possibly have known that there were Yuan Dynasty envoys here as well.

Even if they knew, they wouldn't have the guts to do such a thing!

The people of the Ming Dynasty were not like those of the Han Dynasty; they were neither as powerful nor as daring.

Their Goryeo was not a small country like Shanshan, which could be so wantonly trampled and humiliated.

Goryeo itself existed since the Five Dynasties period and survived the Song and Yuan dynasties.

It has been passed down to the present day, through more than 30 monarchs and over 400 years!
To be honest, our Goryeo dynasty is far more legitimate than the Central Plains dynasty!
Its long history far surpasses that of a newly established dynasty like the Ming Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty, unlike the ravaged Xiongnu, was not powerless to resist.

Therefore, such a thing is simply impossible; you're overthinking it.

The Han Dynasty was the Han Dynasty; there was only one Han Dynasty, and it has long since perished.

Is there no one left to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty?
There's no need to worry about the Ming Dynasty imitating Ban Chao. In fact, what they should be worried about is the Yuan Dynasty's envoys. They might be furious when they learn that the Ming Dynasty has foolishly sent envoys at this time, and thus take action against the Ming Dynasty's envoys.

From the information reported by Jin Tao, it is clear that the people of the Ming Dynasty had been fooled.

They believed what they and others said and reluctantly accepted these things.

My worries at this moment are really unnecessary.

With this thought in mind, his heart was completely at peace.

He shook his head and smiled, closed the book, took off his clothes, and began to rest.

Before he could fall asleep, he faintly heard a shrill scream, which startled him and made him sit up.

Then I noticed torches flickering outside.

This commotion greatly alarmed Li Renren. After the initial shock, an overwhelming surge of anger welled up within him.

Who is this person who dares to be so reckless and cause trouble here?

Could it be... that treacherous beast Cui Ying, whose face you can't see into his heart?!
He got out of bed, threw on a robe haphazardly, and hurried out the door.

Let's see what's going on and stop these arrogant people!

As soon as he stepped outside, he discovered that the front yard was in complete chaos, and people were rushing towards his house.

Shocked and enraged, he immediately changed his mind about stepping forward to reprimand and stabilize the situation, and fled.

He had just left when Li Chenggui and Mu Ying led their men to attack.

He kicked open the door, only to find the room empty.

I reached out and touched the blankets, and found they were still warm.

"Go! Go find him right now! That bastard hasn't gone far! We must catch him!"

Yi Seong-gye gave the order, his emotions running high.

At this moment, he was even more anxious than Mu Ying.

If Li Renren doesn't die, then this matter is not over.

Once Li Renren and Cui Ying realize what they've done, these Ming Dynasty envoys might still have a chance to survive.

But he, a Korean, was in a terrible situation.

They will inevitably be torn to shreds by the enraged Li Renren and Cui Ying.

As he shouted, he personally and forcefully pulled off Li Renren's bedding, bending down to check if anyone was hiding under the bed.

However, they found that there was no one below.

He then opened the cabinet again and started stabbing inside with the knife.

It is clear that at this time, Yi Seong-gye truly hated Yi In-im for not being dead.

Unfortunately, there was no one inside the cabinet either.

This made Yi Seong-gye very anxious and upset.

He led his men to thoroughly search Li Renren's bedroom, turning it upside down and even searching the rafters.
As a result, Li Renren was still nowhere to be found.

Yi Seong-gye panicked, losing his composure and fearing something unexpected might happen.

His men outside also couldn't find Li Renren anywhere.

Where did that scoundrel run off to?
Where did they run off to?!

"found it!"

"found it!"

After a short while, a sound of surprise and excitement came from the audience.

Li Chenggui, who was anxious and frustrated, was overjoyed and rushed out.

But then they saw several soldiers escorting Li Renren, who was disheveled, as they walked over.

After personally confirming that it was Li Renren, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness! That bastard didn't get away!

Otherwise, things will be much more difficult this time.

Where did he run off to? Where was he found?

Yi Seong-gye inquired.

"It was in the dog kennel. He crawled into the dog kennel, and the dog got scared and wanted to hide in the dog kennel, but it was anxiously waiting outside and couldn't get in."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Yi Seong-gye burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes!

"Li Chenggui? What are you doing! How dare you do such a thing? Are you courting death?!"

Release me immediately, and I'll forgive and forget what you did!

After realizing that it wasn't Choi Young who brought the men to arrest him, but rather Lee Seong-gye.

Li Renren was greatly surprised, and then asked when it started.

"Let you go? Forgive and forget? You must be dreaming!"

Li Renren, you have committed countless evils, including regicide! You also murdered a Ming envoy, and you still act this way at this point!
"They're about to die and they still don't realize it! How dare they say such things!"

"Nonsense! Slander! Tell me! Who instructed you to slander me like this?"

"Haha, stop putting on airs and come and talk to the angels of the Upper Kingdom!"

As Li Chenggui spoke, he moved to Mu Ying's side, making Mu Ying stand out.

Upon seeing Mu Ying standing to one side holding the talisman, Li Renren's pupils constricted sharply.

What I was just thinking about has actually come true?

Did these people in the Ming Dynasty really dare to imitate Ban Chao's actions?

But... this doesn't make sense either!

If they were to follow Ban Chao's example, shouldn't they have attacked the Yuan Dynasty envoys at this time?

Why would they come here to deal with me?

"Li Renren, how dare you kill an envoy from the Great Ming Dynasty?"

Mu Ying looked at Li Renren with icy eyes and asked him abruptly.

"No! I didn't! Even if I had a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing."

"Your Excellency, please do not listen to the nonsense spouted by those with ulterior motives like Yi Seong-gye."

He repeatedly denied it.

You've got some nerve!
He secretly orchestrated the regicide and then supported Xin Dun's son to become the new king, seizing absolute power.

Fearing their plot would be exposed, they instructed Jin Yi to kill the envoy of our Great Ming Dynasty.

And you think the Ming Dynasty doesn't know that Jin Yi secretly fled to Naha with Lin Mi?

what? !

Even though Li Renren had experienced many storms, he was still horrified when he suddenly heard what Mu Ying said at this moment.

How did people in the Ming Dynasty know all this?
How did they know?!
Surprised, he tried to continue denying it.

"Stop denying it here. Nahachu has already secretly informed His Majesty of everything you've done..."

"Impossible! He is an irreconcilable enemy of your Ming Dynasty, why would he send you a message?!"

Li Renren couldn't hold back any longer, and his words proved that what Mu Ying had just said was true.

Mu Ying glanced at Li Renren: "You probably don't know, but Nahachu surrendered to our Great Ming a long time ago."

Otherwise, why would His Majesty have ordered his release after capturing him?

Otherwise, why would we have arrived so soon after the Tartar envoy? Was it really just such a coincidence?

Upon hearing Mu Ying's words, Li Renren was speechless.

His expression at that moment was incredibly complex.

"Chop off his head!"

Having successfully destroyed his spirit and brought up the matter again in front of so many people, Mu Ying gave the order to kill without hesitation.

The purpose of his words at this time is not so much to kill him or demoralize him, but more importantly, to let more people know about this matter.

The message was to be relayed to the Northern Yuan court, making it known to everyone that Nahachu had secretly submitted to the Ming Dynasty and was working for them.

Only in this way can we better sow discord between the Northern Yuan and the Northern Yuan.

Li Renren wanted to beg for mercy and say something more, but it was too late.

His head was immediately chopped off with a single blow.

The one who chopped off his head was none other than Yi Seong-gye.

Yi Seong-gye didn't want him to live for even a second longer.

"I wonder how things are going with Cui Ying?"

After dealing with Li Renren, Mu Ying looked at Li Chenggui and asked him a question.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, nothing will go wrong, and Cui Ying will not survive!"

Defeating Yi In-im greatly improved Yi Seong-gye's mood and boosted his confidence.

No sooner had the words fallen than someone galloped up on horseback, bringing unexpected news.

Cui Ying failed to kill him!
This guy, with a small number of guards, successfully broke through the encirclement and disappeared without a trace!
Upon hearing this news, Yi Seong-gye's expression changed drastically, and he was no longer as confident as before.

Cui Ying is currently the highest-ranking military officer in Gaegyeong.

In Kaesong, more than half of the troops are under his control!

More importantly, this person had an excellent relationship with Li Renren.

If he gets away, that would be a huge problem!

Next, once he mobilizes a large number of troops, they will be in an extremely dangerous situation.

They might even all die!
