Chapter 921

Fan Xian gave a bitter smile and whispered:

"This is like you going to participate in a fighting competition, and when you go up, you see six Grandmasters: the Qing Emperor, Teng Zijing, Ku He, Si Gu Jian, Ye Liuyun, and Uncle Wu Zhu."

"You originally thought you could hold on for at least one move, but the six of them smiled at you and said they were the referees."

"Your opponent is the mythical Erlang Shen Yang Jian..."

Fei Jie immediately gasped and looked at Chen Pingping with some worry.

"Then Director Chen..."

"It's hard to say. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang created the Great Ming in the Xia Dynasty, which is known as the last iron-blooded dynasty of the Han people."

Fan Xian said with longing:

"During the Ming Dynasty, they did not marry, did not cede territory, did not pay indemnities, the emperor guarded the borders, and the king died for the country. They truly achieved this."

"The Great Ming was united, the folk beliefs were firm, and they firmly loved the Great Ming."

"History says that the Great Ming gave the Han people an indestructible backbone. During the Ming Dynasty, they awed the world, and people came from all directions to pay tribute. It was a true Celestial Empire."

"Comparing Southern Qing and Northern Qi to the Ming is even an insult to the Great Ming."

"Especially in the early years of the Great Ming's founding, barbarians from all sides feared them and wished they could hide far away."

"Their generals were even more terrifying, winning countless battles with fewer against more, even resisting hundreds of thousands with a few thousand, holding on for several months until the army arrived."

"And the Great Ming's strategists were also the best in the world. They were said to have cut the dragon veins so that no one in the world could claim to be king again."

"Teacher, think about it: in such a dynasty, the Embroidered Uniform Guard became an organization that monitored the world, made officials fearful, and was omnipresent."

"How many sheets of paper you used to go to the bathroom today, the emperor would know clearly the next day. Can such an organization be compared to the Inspectorate?"

Fei Jie was completely silent, and Chen Pingping felt more panicked the more he heard.

This Embroidered Uniform Guard is simply not in the same class as the Northern Qi Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Besides that, the Great Ming seems to have the East and West Depots later on. As for now, I don't remember if they exist."

"But the East and West Depots are exactly the same as the Embroidered Uniform Guard, claiming that there is no case that the East and West Depots don't know about or dare not handle, and no one that the East and West Depots dare not kill."

"Imperial authority, execute first and report later..."

"Such an organization is a disaster for others."

682. The Great Ming's Jianghu Forces

Ying Zheng glanced at Fan Xian and said calmly:

"As Fan Xian said, the strength of the Great Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard is indeed quite terrifying. I can admit this. So, Chen Pingping, do you dare to accept this task?"

Chen Pingping was silent for a moment, smiled, and bowed:

"This subject will surely obey Your Majesty's order. The Great Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard is incomparably powerful, but this subject believes that the Great Qin's Net will surely be even more elite."

"What does this subject have to fear?"

Ying Zheng pursed his lips and nodded.

"Good! Whether you succeed or not, even if you only insert one person into the Great Ming, I will resurrect Ye Qingmei."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! This subject guarantees with my life that I will not let Your Majesty down!"

Chen Pingping's expression was excited, and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"However, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The Great Ming's strength is currently slightly weaker than the Great Qin's. This is your opportunity."

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said softly:

"You don't need to worry about the Great Ming's generals; you only need to pay attention to the Jianghu forces and the Embroidered Uniform Guard surrounding the Great Ming."

"The Great Ming's state religion is Wudang. As far as I know, the Wudang leader is the Jianghu myth Zhang Sanfeng, whose cultivation has now probably reached the half-step Shattering Void realm."

"Zhang Sanfeng has the Seven Heroes of Wudang under his command; these seven are all Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmasters."

"Zhang Sanfeng's grand-disciple Zhang Wuji is Zhu Yuanzhang's firmest supporter. He controls the Ming Cult, with over one hundred thousand members spread throughout the world."

"Zhang Wuji himself is a newly entered Earthly Immortal. The other forces of the Ming Cult are temporary; I only know there are four protectors, and their strength is unknown."

"Besides that, there is the Beggar Sect, claiming one million members, serving the Great Ming as their master. Their leader Qiao Feng is a generation of great heroes, conservatively estimated to be at the peak of Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster."

"The Five Greats of the world are all Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmasters."

"Buddhism, Emei, the Five Mountains Sword Sect..."

"Among them, Buddhism is second only to Wudang, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect and Emei have at least a few grandmasters."

"These sects have many conflicts, but they ultimately belong to the Great Ming Jianghu."

"Besides that, there is the Yihua Palace, with two palace masters who are both Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmasters."

"These are considered relatively powerful forces. I only have one request: insert personnel into them."

"As for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it is even more mysterious. Currently, I only know the four commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Any more, I don't know."

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is directly under Zhu Yuanzhang; you just do your best."

Listening to Ying Zheng's words, even though Chen Pingping and the others were prepared, they still felt their hearts pounding.

At every turn, it was a Heavenly Phenomenon Grandmaster, and at the very least, a grandmaster.

This job is really not easy to do.

Fortunately, the Net's forces are not weak either.

"I will let the Hundred Schools of Thought send people to help you. In addition, Zhang Han and the Black Ice Terrace can also cooperate with you. You only need to control the overall situation, try your best to complete the task, and gather intelligence."

"Do you have confidence?"

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Your Majesty, what about the Great Ming Imperial Family?"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, quite appreciatively.

"The Great Ming Imperial Family, I can only tell you not to make contact."

"The Great Ming Imperial Family, like the Great Qin Imperial Family, relies on the Black Jiao clan, one of the five great spiritual clans of the cultivation world."

"But you must also understand that in the supreme cultivation world, they are just Black Jiaos, followers of the Divine Dragon clan."

"But in the heavens and myriad worlds, the Black Jiao clan is also a true dragon clan."

"The Great Ming Imperial Family has all joined the Black Jiao clan, possessing Black Jiao bloodlines, and have become cultivators."

"Conflicts between mortals cannot be hidden before cultivators, so try to avoid contact with the Great Ming Imperial Family; otherwise, if the other party observes slightly, they can clearly understand what you are thinking."

After saying this, Ying Zheng sighed and said somewhat melancholically:

"If it weren't for the division of camps, Zhu Yuanzhang and I could have become confidants..."

683. Ying Zheng's Hidden Troubles

"I belong to the Xuan Bird group, a branch of the Peng Bird clan. I assume you all understand this."

Fan Xian nodded heavily.

"The Heavenly Divine Beast clan, the Xuan Bird; seeing it brings great luck to the world."

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said softly:

"In the past, during the prosperous cultivation era, the Peng Bird clan followed the Divine Phoenix and were subordinates of the Phoenix."

"And the Phoenix is naturally opposed to the Divine Dragon. The Black Jiao clan is the strongest water clan under the rule of the Dragon clan."

"In itself, the Dragon and Phoenix cannot coexist. Among the Peng Bird clan, the Golden-Winged Great Peng clan, where the current clan leader resides, feeds on Jiao Dragons and especially loves to eat Jiao Dragon hearts and livers."

"The Xuan Bird clan is the same."

"And the Black Jiao clan has always liked to devour Xuan Birds and Golden-Winged Great Pengs."

"This is a blood feud between the clans."

"For countless epochs, for as long as the Dragon and Phoenix have fought, the Peng Bird clan and the Black Jiao clan have fought."

"Until after the day of the destruction of the Dharma, all spiritual clans attached themselves to Shushan. Since then, among the ten thousand spiritual clans, the five great innate spiritual clans have become the strongest."

"The Bi-Winged Bird clan, the Peng Bird clan, the Black Jiao clan, the Qingqiu Fox clan, and the Shi Ling clan."

"Among them, the Bi-Winged Bird clan is naturally indifferent, does not fight for fame or profit, and is at peace with the world."

"Although the Shi Ling clan is naturally powerful, their birth is necessarily the possession of spiritual wisdom by a heavenly divine stone, and their clansmen are still rare."

"The Qingqiu Fox clan has a transcendent status and is a spiritual clan that has followed Shushan for a long time."

"These three spiritual clans have no hatred, so there is no conflict. The only Tushan Fox clan that could conflict with the Qingqiu Fox clan now has a small number of people."

"Under the adjustment of the Sect Leader's wife, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, the Venerable God Child, it has also been peaceful for a long time."

"Only the Peng Bird clan and the Black Jiao clan."

"Have always fought endlessly."

Ying Zheng paused and sighed:
