Daming prepares the emperor

Morning came.

A small shadow cut through the mist, plunged into the goldfish pond at an extremely fast speed, splashed water, and then remained silent.

After a long time, the autistic mussel mustered up the courage to climb up the bank and shake off the water droplets on its body, turning over side by side, like pancakes, rolling and moving towards the destination.

Just up a step, the door was pushed open.

Zhu Biao came out, knelt down to pick up the mussel, and asked with a smile, "When did you come?"

"I came here yesterday." The mussel's voice was too low to be heard, as if it was very ashamed, "Because I was too tired on the road, so I fell asleep after I came here."

"Hmm." Seeing that it seemed to have something to tell him, Zhu Biao didn't intend to ask immediately, "Have all the aquariums who want to move to Poyang Lake settle down?"

"They've already settled down." He Mum's mood improved a bit, "It won't be long before the bottom of the water will be lively again!"

What happened to it, and the mussel is so strong, not only took revenge, but also is still kind and optimistic, living an active life, it is hard not to let Zhu Biao like it.

The place where I lived since childhood was destroyed, tens of thousands of companions died, close friends disappeared, and the pain will not be let go just by saying let go.

Zhu Biao wanted it to be as happy as possible, so he paid close attention to its thoughts. If calculated according to the age of the monster, the clam is still a minor, and if it is serious, it is probably an infant.

"That's good. Although Yingtian's lake is not as big as Poyang Lake, it is still quite impressive with the support of Qinhuai River. Yanque Lake and Xuanwu Lake occupy a large area. The aquarium and I often communicate with each other. You can also go there Get to know them."

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao pointed to the goldfish pond not far away: "The fish in there was given by one of the turtle demons."

He Peng was worried that he couldn't find a chance to talk to Zhu Biao. Hearing this, he burst into tears immediately, choked up and said, "Master, you are so kind, I'm sorry for you. I exposed your affairs."

For a moment, Zhu Biao felt that he was on the set of Gongdou, like a vicious concubine who failed to frame others and was betrayed.

"I was too tired to fly here from Poyang Lake yesterday. When I saw this pool of water, I went in to rest for a while, but I was caught." He mum continued intermittently, "That's right, I was caught by your younger brother and sister. They were both the same age, dressed in..."

"I know who it is." Zhu Biao said.

When it comes to the same age, isn't it just Zhu Jingjing and Zhu Di?

"I talked to them." He Mu said, "At first they wanted to roast me, but later I said I was a monster. They thought I had something wrong, so I said that I was allowed to stay here by the young master."

"and then?"

"Young master is not here, so I ran away and went to Mr. Shi, asking him to help me find a solution. Mr. Shi said that the situation was serious, and he had no idea, so he told me to come back. The result depends on luck... "

As the clam talked, it trembled, its upper and lower shells rattled, and it made a rattling sound. It seemed that it was frightened and wanted to cry again.

No wonder Liu Chubai found out that the fourth brother was not asleep last night...

Zhu Biao said: "Apart from the two of them, there is no one else?"

"Gone."

"That's all right. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Are you all right?" He Mu jumped in Zhu Biao's palm, "I was found out to be a monster!"

"Just be careful in the future and don't talk casually." Zhu Biao said, "How about you just live in the pool? I will tell the servants not to touch you. The water in there is a spring for one person, which is good for cultivation."

"Okay! Listen to the young master!" He Bang said, "I will work hard to practice and repay the young master's kindness."

It paused, and then said: "My real name is Jiaoxi. I don't call it many monsters, and I never told anyone. Please call me that in the future, young master."

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and just as he was about to say something, Jiaoxi jumped down, rolled into the grass, and was swallowed by the branches and leaves.

Forget it.

As for the matter of those two little radishes, let nature take its course.

Jing Jing has been in contact with ghosts since she was a child, and her spiritual wisdom has already been developed, and it will be difficult to hide it under the guidance of opportunities in the future.Zhu Di, precocious, thinks a lot, and is cautious. After knowing the truth, he probably won’t tell others, and it’s fine if he doesn’t pursue it anymore. If he insists on investigating something, he will be caught—part-time job.

He also wants to become a king in the future, and he found a job in advance, which is considered work, ah no, exercise.

Zhu Biao turned back to the room, his fan was wandering around in front of the desk reading a book, there was a history book spread out there, it didn't know if it could understand it, but it read it with gusto, never stopped, nodded from time to time, as if it had realized something .

"Let's go."

The folding fan unfolded, a gust of wind blew open the next page, and reluctantly took a few glances, and flew to stand in front of Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it, hung it on his waist, lifted the coat on the chair and put it on, pushed the door open and strode away along the road.

When he was about to reach the door, the guard opened the door for him, and a young man outside the door led a horse, Zhu Biao got on the horse, and taking advantage of the lack of people on the road in the morning, he rode the horse fast and headed for Liu's mansion.

Several pots of peonies in the yard are blooming, red with pink, very lively, a peony, several rings of petals around the stamen, well-defined layers, blooming brilliantly.

Liu Bowen was wearing only unlined clothing, looking at the flowers, holding a water pot with one hand behind his back, and sprinkled some water into the flowerpot.

"Should I put some fertilizer on it?" He muttered, "Go to the sesame oil shop outside and ask for some sesame residue?"

"It would be better to water less."

Zou Pusheng walked in from the outside and continued: "It's better to say that it is already driving very well, so there is no need to worry about it."

After these days of recuperation in Yingtian Mansion, his condition has gradually improved, and the depression between his brows has subsided a lot. Although he is still a little haggard, he finally looks like a person living an ordinary life.

"Brother Zou is better at studying flowers and plants than I am." Liu Bowen put down the kettle, "Then listen to you and let it grow naturally."

"There is no research." Zou Pusheng shook his head and said with a wry smile, "When you can't go out, you will naturally play with these things. It's not even a skill."

"Yesterday we talked about late at night, why do you still get up early today?" Liu Bowen said, "If you are hungry, I will ask someone to prepare meals."

"No hurry. Brother Liu's ideas and knowledge made me so jealous that I couldn't sleep." Zou Pusheng joked, "If Daoist Zhang's cultivation is unfathomable, then you are Zhuge alive. So many strange ideas It is difficult to spit out wonderful ideas and novel explorations from one person's mouth, and this is only a few days' experience."

"Ha." Liu Ji smiled shortly, "Much praise, praise."

After learning about what happened to Zou Pusheng in Wuchang, Liu Bowen admired him and took the initiative to invite him to his home. The more they got along, the better they got along with each other. Although the time was not long, the relationship between the two has reached the level of old friends for many years, which is really rare.

"Come on, sit down."

When he sat down, Liu Bowen looked at his face carefully, and sighed: "You are frowning, I think you still have something on your mind, and you haven't told me about it, if you don't dislike it, just tell me, I..."

Zou Pusheng didn't speak.

"Now you have revenge. Xu Shouhui was killed by Chen Youliang. He is now killed in Liuya. Although you didn't do it yourself, you also contributed. You are worthy of the previous lord."

Liu Bowen made his words very clear on purpose, trying to uncover Zou Pusheng's scars and give him a boost. Whether he is angry or in pain, if he can vent his emotions, he will not be far away from walking out.

"Hey, Brother Liu, I understand what you mean." Zou Pusheng said, "You don't have to say such things, I accept it. I'm not worried about this. What else can I do? It's a foregone conclusion."

"What is it?"

"It's the prince."

Prince?

Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, his first reaction was to think of Zhu Biao, and then he realized that Zou Pusheng was referring to Chen Shan, the captured son of Chen Youliang.

"What... have you got to do with him?" Liu Bowen lowered his voice, "Do you think he will take revenge? Or do you want to strike first?"

"Neither of them." Zou Pusheng said, "He is not a character who knows how to revenge. At best, he is benevolent, but at worst, he is a little indecisive, and his benevolence is abnormal."

"Oh? Chen Youliang's son is actually this kind of person? You and him are also teachers and friends?" Liu Ji asked, "Listen to you, you are worried about his safety!"

"Maybe you won't believe it, but I haven't met him a few times. This person's age is just a child to you and me. One night, he once told me that he also admitted that Chen Youliang was wrong and did not He confessed that after he registered, he would implement a benevolent government and make good use of talents."

"If he was in a prosperous age, he might be loved by his courtiers and the common people, but it's a pity he was born at an untimely time." Liu Ji was particularly ruthless on this issue, "But if you don't have talent, you don't have talent. To be a king, at least you can't do it in terms of means." lose to others."

He added: "If you can govern the country well, even a tyrant deserves allegiance."

"I am not as good as you in the way of governing the country and enriching the people." Zou Pusheng said, "I think I may have subconsciously pinned my expectations on the king on Chen Shan."

"Why don't you entrust it here." Liu Ji said, "I look forward to working with you!"

Zou Pusheng avoided answering, and only said: "He was secretly taken away, I don't know how to deal with it."

"I haven't heard that there are too many things to do after returning from this expedition, and the commander-in-chief probably won't have time to think about him."

"That means killing will kill, right?"

"Maybe." Liu Ji said, "Unless he is used to threaten Wuchang City to open the city gate."

"The defeat is already set, why bother to threaten. I know those people, except for a few generals like Zhang Dingbian, the rest of them are the generation of rich and poor, and they will surrender without a fight."

"You've said it yourself, what do you want me to say?"

At this time, a maid came in outside, bowed her head and said respectfully: "Master, a guest is here."

"who is it?"

"I don't know this servant, he is a young master, about eleven or twelve years old."

Liu Bowen and Zou Pusheng looked at each other and said, "Ask your son and see how to solve your troubles! It's more effective than asking me."

Zhu Biao stepped into the living room, and the servant poured tea and put some snacks for him.Not long after, the people he was waiting for arrived, and two came at once.

"Sir, Mr. Zou."

"Son."

Both parties saluted, and Liu Bowen took them to another courtyard to talk.

"Sir, I came here this time to ask you to take a look at the fan. I have added dragon tendons to it according to your suggestion, and it seems to have some inexplicable changes."

Liu Bowen said with interest: "Oh? Let me see."

Zhu Biao took the fan from his waist, put it across his hands, and handed it over.

Who knew that Liu Ji's fingers were bounced away by an invisible force before they even touched the edge of the fan. Of course he wouldn't stagger with his cultivation, but he was also taken aback.

"This is a good thing!" He was not angry but happy, "Young master, this means that it has become a spiritual object and has its own consciousness. This is a sign of recognition of the owner. I am afraid that no one can pick it up except you now."

"That's right." Zhu Biao had realized something a long time ago, and felt relieved after being confirmed, "I have something else I want to ask sir."

"You mean the movement on the street that day?"

"Sure enough, Mr. noticed it." Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed, "It was me who messed up."

"No, it's a wonderful way to mobilize people to enshrine the gods." Liu Ji praised, "I guess you want to use the captured Fengdu City as a foundation to gather evil spirits and establish a Yin-Yang system."

"Yes." Zhu Biao said, "I want to start the experiment with Yingtian City God first, and if it succeeds, it will be carried out gradually. Whether it is a newly deceased person or some monster elsewhere, as long as you are qualified, capable, and virtuous, you can do it yourself. If you want, you can have a job in Feng."

"Okay." Liu Ji nodded, "I support you."

I don't know why, if Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying said they supported Zhu Biao's approach, they would be happy, and more, he would only take it for granted.When Liu Ji expressed his affirmation, Zhu Biao felt the excitement of being recognized.

Perhaps this is the difference between parents and teachers.

Speaking of teacher, that is, master, Zhu Biao thought of Zhang Zhong.Zhang Zhong is indeed very good. He has almost recovered after his vital energy was seriously injured. He wanders around every day, dragging Zhou Dian to walk with him, especially after knowing Yeming, he specially made friends with it. Today, he went to Huangshan. It will be a great pleasure to go to Sichuan and Shu tomorrow.

The difference between the two of them - to use an inappropriate metaphor, Zhang Zhong is like the Bodhi Patriarch who only gives introductory spells, and Liu Bowen is like Tang Sanzang who accompanied him along the way...

"My lord, I heard from brother Zou that there is a nine-tailed fox entrenched in Fengdu?"

"Yes, but she has brought her tribe back to Tushan."

"The nine-tailed fox is a good omen." Liu Ji was obviously very happy. "The ancients said that if the king is not swayed by sex, the nine-tailed fox will come. Wang Fa Xiuming, three talents, the nine-tailed fox will appear."

He said again: "Tu Shan Nine-Tailed Fox is even better. If you can see her again in the future, you will have a great chance."

"I remember."

Then they talked about the internal system of Fengdu. Li Shanchang made more decisions about these things in Yingtian Mansion.But Liu Bowen is Liu Bowen after all, and he knows everything. The advice he gave was very appropriate, and he helped Zhu Biao to sort out his thoughts in an orderly manner, and the two of them set many rules together.

After a while, the ruins in Fengdu will be cleaned up. Zhu Biao asked Liu Bowen to visit, and he agreed.

It wasn't until after lunch and drinking tea in the study that Zou Pusheng, who hadn't spoken much all morning, suddenly made a request in the quiet space.

"Want to meet Chen Han's prince?" Zhu Biao asked in surprise.

"Yes." Zou Pusheng was afraid that he would misunderstand, "It's okay if you can't. I don't want to do anything, I just want to catch up on the past."

"I don't seem to have seen him yet." Zhu Biao recalled, "No one has told me about it."

"Where is he now?" Zhu Biao asked Liu Bowen.
