Section 137

The envoy sent by the Japanese slaves basically inquired about the Ming Dynasty iron ships on the river bank along the way.

Although the Ming Dynasty's shipping industry has not yet developed to the level of steam engines, it is under the simple influence of system buoyancy.

Small and medium-sized iron ships are already one step closer.

Iron ships, both in appearance and visual impact, are far superior to those of wooden ships.

These iron ships looked straight into the eyes of those Japanese slaves!

Although I don’t know what the specific mission of the Japanese slaves is, getting information about the Ming Dynasty Iron Ship may be a small goal.

Moreover, the Japanese slaves always had plans for the maritime edges of the Ming Dynasty.

The coastline of the Ming Dynasty was attacked by Japanese slaves from time to time. All the border generals of the Ming Dynasty did not believe that there were no supporters behind these Japanese slaves!

Otherwise, why every time the Ming Dynasty traded with Japanese slaves, they would not be robbed in most cases.

But in normal times, Japanese pirates often come out to cause trouble?

Although the Japanese slaves had always coveted the Ming Dynasty, it was because Zhu Di had always set his sights on the north.

Ming Dynasty did not take any additional actions against the Japanese slaves.

But in the eyes of the Japanese slaves, the Ming Dynasty showed weakness!

In addition, powerful dynasties like the Dayuan Dynasty did not completely occupy the Japanese slaves, which also gave the Japanese slaves a sense of self-confidence!

"Ji Gang, you go and arrest all the other Japanese slaves staying in Daming first! Let us inspect the scene!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered.

Ji Gang hesitated for a moment and was a little dumbfounded.

This King of Han is so open and aboveboard giving orders to me, the Commander of the Imperial Guard?

Don’t you even want to pretend for a while? Are you already in control?

So brave?

Although Ji Gang's expression became a little strange, he still agreed and recorded the matter in detail.

As for presenting it to the emperor? That was not something he considered. The emperor saw that it belonged to the emperor, not his matter.

Ji Gang quickly left the scene with several subordinates, and told other subordinates to follow the command of the governor Zhu Zhankan.

"Nephew Zhankan, can you see how these Japanese slaves died?" Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Zhankan picked up the head of the Death Japanese Slave Envoy and examined it carefully for a moment with a frown.

His face suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "Second uncle, do you still remember what elder brother said yesterday about the long white Gu worm?"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

"The envoy of this Japanese slave was killed by that Gu insect!"

"What?" Zhu Gaoxu was instantly shocked.

Isn't this right? Didn’t I say yesterday that Gu insects have no harm or lethality?

Today, you killed someone so cruelly?

You can't change your mind so quickly!

He was completely unprepared!

"Nephew Zhankan, didn't you say yesterday that these poisonous insects are harmless?"

Zhu Zhankan frowned and explained: "There was indeed no harm yesterday, but it seems to be harm today! Gu insects, Gu insects themselves are existences that are constantly changing in the fight."

He added: "It's just that I didn't expect that the long Gu worm would change so quickly!"

Chapter 146 Refining Gu Insects

Zhu Zhankan took the head of the Japanese slave envoy and prepared to go back to study the changes in the Gu insect.

Just half way back, a reminder suddenly sounded in my mind.

[Achievement Mission: Raising Gu in the Beast Control Chapter! 】

[Introduction: As the sixth person behind the scenes that inspired the Ming Dynasty, how could he not master a powerful Gu? 】

[Cultivation of a Gu insect is completed! 】

[Reward: Mysterious coordinate crack node]

[Refresh task: teach the way of Gu to a person]

Zhu Zhankan hesitated, but he didn't expect the task to be completed so easily.

He took out the task reward node and stopped paying too much attention to it.

Now there is one more thing to do, hurry back and see what the Gu insects have been cultivated into!

As soon as I arrived at Jingxin Mansion, I saw the adopted boy from the Jin family sitting at the door and sighing.

This boy from the Jin family is the same boy from the Jin family who fought tooth and nail to report the last time Zhu Zhankan went on a salt patrol.

Zhu Zhankan thought that this guy might have some luck, so he took him back to Jingxin Mansion to work as a handyman to see his qualifications and luck.

According to Zhu Zhankan's observation, this boy has a bit of luck, but his qualifications can only be said to be mediocre.

Hmm... He looks more and more like the protagonist!

"Jinquan, what are you doing sitting at the door?" Jinquan was the name Zhu Zhankan gave her. Originally, Jinquan only had a nickname for her generation.

"I have met Your Highness." Jin Quan, who had been in a daze just now, immediately came back to his senses and saluted Zhu Zhankan respectfully.

Zhu Zhankan squatted on the steps and stood next to Jin Quan without caring about his image: "I saw that you were a little disappointed just now. What were you thinking about?"

When Jin Quan first met Zhu Zhankan, he was high-spirited and innocent.

After the great changes in life and death, his personality seemed to have undergone tremendous changes.

He became a little taciturn, and his childish and innocent face disappeared!

When people's anger is relieved, they will become a little depressed.

Zhu Zhankan didn't notice these changes at first, but now he sees them.

"Your Highness..." Jin Quan hesitated for a moment: "Your Highness, is this disciple really talented?"

"Why... why am I practicing seriously but making no progress at all?" Jin Quan said, revealing the scars on his hands and arms.

Zhu Zhankan took a quick look and felt that these injuries were definitely the result of careful cultivation.

Some of the injuries have even scabbed over.

For ordinary people, if they have such injuries, they are probably not far from death.

However, Jin Quan showed no symptoms of infection at all, and even seemed to be relatively energetic.

Zhu Zhankan's mouth twitched when he looked at Jin Quan, who had grown tall and powerful after eating imperial food for several months.

"Is this disciple too stupid to understand..."

"Shut up! That's nonsense!" Zhu Zhankan stood up with a puff of sleeves and stood in front of Jin Quan with a calm expression: "Stand up! Look directly at me!"

When Jin Quan heard this, he immediately stood up from the ground guarding the door, but did not dare to look directly at Zhu Zhankan.

"Mencius said: When Heaven assigns great responsibilities to people, they will suffer hardships in their minds and starve their bodies and skin!"

"Now you just encountered some setbacks!"

"You are young and encounter some setbacks, so you quickly deny yourself. How slack and lazy you are!"

"Did you know that Grand Duke Jiang was eighty years old and waited by the river for King Wen to create the 800-year-old foundation of the Zhou Dynasty!"

"Huang Zhong, a veteran of the Later Han Dynasty, is nearly seventy years old and can still kill enemy generals with a sword!"

"You are now in your prime, yet you are sitting idle in front of the gate, submissive and acting like a little daughter!"

"What can be done!"

Zhu Zhankan continued: "If you can't practice the exercises entrusted to you, then you will find other methods of practice. Even if you can't find other methods of practice, you will tire out your bones and muscles and strengthen your muscles!"

"Can a living person be choked to death by urinating?"

"If your Highness sees you being submissive and acting like a child again, don't say that you are from my Jingxin Mansion!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhankan walked through the door, and Jin Quan's tired eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Jin Quan closed his eyes and recalled the tragic situation of his family and the pain and torture of cultivation.

When I open my eyes, it feels like I have gone through a baptism.

The confusion in his eyes faded away. He bowed respectfully in the direction Zhu Zhankan was leaving, then walked away and sat down by the wall!

Zhu Zhankan used his spiritual consciousness to observe that Jin Quan had resumed his cultivation posture, and nodded.

Return to the room where he cultivated the Five Poison Gu Insects.

In the room that was originally filled with all kinds of insects, snakes, rats, and ants, only the last little cyan snake remained!

It was obvious that this little snake was the last remaining Gu insect among Zhu Zhankan's.

Just when Zhu Zhankan was about to catch the Gu insects, the little green snake planned to come up and bite Zhu Zhankan directly!

Zhu Zhankan released his spiritual energy and knocked the little green snake away!
