Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 313 313: Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has his own pride!

A month later, Zhu Xiaqian, who had traveled all the way back from the west, finally returned to Shuntian Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they saw the prince Zhu Xiaqiu and the fourth son Zhu Xiaye already waiting there.

A look of disappointment flashed deep in Zhu Xiayan's eyes, because the figure he wanted to see most did not seem to appear!

"My dear brother, see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Xiaqiu rode up to Zhu Xiaqiu, then got off his horse and gave Zhu Xiaqiu the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

"Third brother, I haven't seen you in a few years. When did you become so well-behaved?"

Zhu Xiaqiu suddenly felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.

I don’t know why, but seeing Zhu Xiaqiang again after so many years made him feel like he didn’t recognize him anymore!

Could it be that his career on the battlefield these past few years had completely changed Zhu Xiaqiang?

Zhu Xiaqiu quickly reminded.

"We brothers are the children of the same mother!"

Zhu Xiaqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No, we can't let the fourth child get out of the limelight. I'll marry a few at a time, maybe six more!"

"Well, this seems like something you can say!"

At this moment, Zhu Xiaye on the side also took the initiative to speak and nodded to Zhu Xiayan.

Zhu Xiaqiu: "..."

Zhu Xiaqiu explained with a wry smile.

"The fourth child is now a married man, why do you still treat him like a child?"

"Okay, let's go to the palace first!"

"Grandpa and father are waiting in the palace, we'd better go back quickly!"

Zhu Xiaqiu was helpless and could only urge Zhu Xiaqiu.

"Lao San, what you said is a bit too much!"

Are you serious about marrying six at once?

Since when does this kind of thing even need to be compared?

"What if I get impeached by the ministers for not knowing the rules?"

When Zhu Xiaqian heard this, he grinned.

"Second brother, what you said is wrong. The fourth child is your brother. Am I not your brother?"

It is true that Zhu Yue did not go out of the city to meet Zhu Xiaquan in person, and there was no need at all. How could I have reason to go out of the city to meet his son?

Zhu Xiaqian said seriously.

"I remember when I was just preparing for the Western Expedition, you were all still worried about the fourth child's marriage, right?"

When Zhu Xiaheng heard this, he was immediately unhappy!

Why couldn't he come up with such a good idea?

"I didn't expect that so many things happened in the past few years when I was away from Ming Dynasty?"

"Third brother, it's been a hard journey!"

Zhu Xiye: "..."

"What else do you know? Stop making fun of me here. You just came back after a long time, can't you be more serious?"

Zhu Xiayan was also stunned when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Xiaye with some surprise.

"Not only are we married, but we are also married to five at once. All of us are great!"

You must know that Zhu Xiaye basically ignored him and Zhu Xiafeng in the past. If you say ten words to him, he may not be able to reply to you!

Is the sun coming out in the west today?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiaheng agreed.

"The fourth child is married?"

Zhu Xiaqiu patted Zhu Xiaqiu on the shoulder and glared at him angrily.

"I haven't seen my father and grandpa for many years!"

When Zhu Xiaye heard this, his face was full of surprise, as if it was the first time he met Zhu Xiaye!

This guy actually married five at once!

"Huh? The fourth child seems to have changed a lot in the past few years!"

"Your kid is already married a long time ago. What's the point of calling him your own brother?"

Zhu Xiaqian was even more surprised now.

"Isn't this in front of outsiders? I have to give your Highness the Crown Prince some face, right?"

"The past few years by my father's side have indeed been in vain. You can actually take the initiative to say hello to me, the third brother?"

"Okay, stop messing around!"

Then the three brothers got into a carriage and drove directly towards the palace.

"Third brother, didn't the eldest brother come back with you?"

Zhu Xieye suddenly asked coldly.

"He is busy going to the north to fight, how can he have time to return to Shuntian?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about him? Didn't you hate your elder brother the most before?"

Zhu Xiayan explained casually, and then looked at Zhu Xiaye with a surprised look on his face and asked.

"I was supposed to go to the Western battlefield, right?"

Zhu Xiaye asked seriously.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiayan glanced at Zhu Xiaqiu subconsciously. After noticing Zhu Xiaqiu's helpless look, he probably guessed what Zhu Xiaye was thinking.

"Is there anything we should or shouldn't do?"

"We will do whatever our father tells us to do!"

"Let me and my eldest brother attack the West. That's my father's wish. You don't have to think too much!"

Zhu Xiaqian waved his hand indifferently.

In fact, he didn't expect Zhu Xiaye to remember his third brother's favor for this matter, and the current Zhu Xiaye really made him feel a little uncomfortable!

Did this brat's personality really change so much after he got married?

"There's still more than a month left, and I'm going to the West to join the feudal clan!"

Zhu Xiaye said suddenly.

"Really? That's very good. It means that your father is optimistic about your ability. After you go to the West, you will manage your fiefdom well. Just don't let your father down!"

Zhu Xiaqian was stunned at first. Although he had guessed that it would be such a result when he came back, he obviously did not expect it to be so soon!

It seems that my father has already made up his mind!

"I see!"

Zhu Xiaye nodded in agreement.

"By the way, second brother, how has Grandpa Huang been doing in the past few years?"

"Are you still as tough as before?"

Zhu Xiaqian then directly brought the topic to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiaqiu frowned and did not answer directly.

"What's going on? Is Grandpa Huang okay?"

Seeing Zhu Xiaqiu's reaction, Zhu Xiayan's heart sank.

"It's okay for the time being, but we are getting older and the time is coming!"

"Father said it can last up to three years!"

Zhu Xiaqiu finally told Zhu Xiaqiu about Zhu Yuanzhang's situation.

Hearing this, Zhu Xiayan's expression also darkened.

The brothers, except for the fourth brother Zhu Xiaye, also grew up under the care of Zhu Yuanzhang!

The brothers all remember how kind the emperor was to them. It can also be said that in their minds, Zhu Yuanzhang's importance is second only to Zhu Yue.

"How many troops are currently stationed in the West?"

After a long time, Zhu Xiaye suddenly asked again.

"I brought my personal guards with me when I came back. Almost all the remaining imperial troops continue to be stationed in the west. In addition, Lan Yu also left half of his troops, with a total strength of about 280,000!"
