Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 781 Zhu Yuanzhang's Requirements and Conditions

It has been five years since Mr. Hu came to Ming Dynasty.

During the past five years, Mr. Hu spent all kinds of time and fun, but he did one thing extremely well.

That is, he had never shown his vigilance and excessive awe towards the Zhu family in front of others.

Anyway, judging from Mr. Hu's performance, he hated trouble, didn't want to be an official, and wanted to stay away from officialdom. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to discuss state affairs, he would like to stay away from him.

But what about his fear and caution towards Zhu Yuanzhang?

No one could tell!

All of this comes from the movie-star-level acting skills that Master Hu has cultivated over his two lifetimes.

Look, the familiar light blue screen clearly appeared, but Master Hu just silently nodded "no" with his consciousness and then let go.

Not only that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with three parts of confusion, three parts of disgust, and three parts of impatience.

"Old Zhu, why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"

"I've been feeling around, but I haven't heard the voice in my head that you just mentioned, nor have I seen any spiritual fluid."

"If you want to make something fancy to trick me, could you put in some effort first?"

Mr. Hu's words were very impolite.

But Zhu Yuanzhang just laughed out loud.

"Hey, I'm sure you didn't hear that sound."

"Because, in what I just said about the origin of this fairy jade, I lied!"

"There's no such thing as sound or no sound with this thing."

"When I saw such a good piece of jade in front of me, my first thought was to sell it for money to eat."

"Then what's the point of treasure? If we can't even get enough food, who cares about those things?"

"As a result, I picked up this fairy jade, washed it and was about to sell it on the way to the county town. I put this thing in my mouth and sucked it twice, hehe!"

"You are too young to know anything!"

"How dare you put something of unknown origin into your mouth!"

"As a result, I felt that the jade seemed to have a slight sweet taste, so I sucked it hard, and then I actually sucked out a drop of spiritual liquid."

"Then I fell down in a daze."

"You'll know what happens next!"

Master Hu kept mocking Zhu Yuanzhang for his bad luck and for having nothing better to do than to fool him at this time.

But in fact, Mr. Hu once again raised the threat posed by Zhu Yuanzhang to several levels.

This old Deng is really not a good person.

Oh my god, the thing is already right in front of him, but he is still testing me.

If Master Hu's acting skills weren't so amazing, he would have been sweating coldly.

Because he figured it out!

Zhu Yuanzhang's move was not intended to test anything else, but rather to test whether the other person had any other thoughts.

To put it bluntly, Mr. Hu has successfully extended his life, which means he has at least a few more decades to live, or maybe even longer.

So, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, did the danger posed by a man like Mr. Hu become increasingly greater?

This is a test to see if Master Hu is as open and honest as he usually appears.

At the same time, an idea secretly emerged in Mr. Hu's mind!

Perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang is still testing his own "immortal magic"!

After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, whether it was the "immortal method" that Old Man Hu took out or the "immortal jade" that had allowed him to change his fate, they were all first-class magical things.

Maybe there will be some "resonance" between the two?

Then, maybe Master Hu is hiding some cards or secrets, which might be exposed after he touches this "immortal jade".

A grassroots hero like Zhu Yuanzhang who has survived all the wars would not care whether his means are fair enough.

To him, whatever means he can use will be used to the utmost, and shamelessness and face are all bullshit.

And obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang put a lot of thought into Master Hu.

However, although Master Hu had many complaints in his heart, he did not show it on his face. He just pouted his lips as before and even reached out his hand to fiddle with the jade token in front of him.

The look of indifference and indifference was simply beyond words.

"Since Your Majesty has such a valuable treasure, why don't you keep it?"

"With this spiritual liquid and the cultivation method I gave you, even if you can't achieve immortality, at least you can live a hundred years!"

"But now you have brought it before me, why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and his laughter was quite cunning and had a strong sense of slyness.

He touched his belly out of habit, even scratched it a few times, then smiled.

"Hey, I have something to ask of you!"

"The point is, we owe you too many favors."

"If it's a favor for state affairs, then I owe you one. I'll just give you the title when I leave."

"But it's not easy to owe such a personal favor!"

"Zhu Chongba is a scoundrel who doesn't care about face. This is not the first time he has done something shameless."

"If I just owe you a favor, then if I can't pay it back, I'm afraid I won't pay it back!"

"We can lose our dignity, but the Zhu family cannot lose it!"

"So, let's bring this jade token!"

Master Hu fell silent, and the previous cheerful look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face disappeared.

Obviously, what he just said was what he really wanted to say.

And Master Hu began to make calculations in his mind.

He was calculating how much of Zhu Yuanzhang's words were true and how much were just to fool people!

He will definitely take this component back.

It would have been fine if I didn’t know about it in the past, but now that I know, there is no way I can let this thing hang out outside!

But...how to achieve it without any trouble is what he needs to think carefully about.

As an old friend who has been dealing with Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, Mr. Hu knows very well how cunning this old man Deng is.

Whether it is rage, ecstasy or calmness, these expressions are most likely just a performance by this old Deng.

He is also a veteran movie star.

And behind this performance is this guy’s real thoughts.

What Mr. Hu needs to do is not only to guess the other party's thoughts, but also to find a way to follow the other party's thoughts and take the jade token away without any trouble.

This requires some thought.

Master Hu was silent for a long time, so long that Zhu Yuanzhang thought that things were going to go wrong today, when Master Hu finally spoke.

"Chongba, since you are here to talk to me as the head of the household today, let's talk openly!"

"So, your request is that the Hu family's immortal skills will only be passed down to the eldest son from now on, and never be passed on to outsiders, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily with a solemn expression on his face.
