Daming prepares the emperor

Zhu Biao lightly jumped down from the roof and landed on the ground without making any movement.

He landed next to Upin.Upin did not leave after sending them ashore, but returned to its original size and followed.

Zhu Biao waved to it, and went to the weedy place to wait together.

"My lord, don't you keep staring?" Wu Pin asked, "Although this matter is quite tempting, you should still be vigilant, and you must not relax at all."

"Mr. Zou is already going out." Zhu Biao paused and said, "Besides, I can see it standing here."

Wu Pin nodded: "This prince was born at an untimely time."

"The dragon energy on his body is running out. The energy from Zhong Shan's side is also pressing him down. If it continues to wear off, there will be nothing left in the end."

Up to now, although Upin's age is not a big deal among monsters, he is already the elder among the elders no matter for a human or a monk.

It has seen more tragedies than Zhu Biao has eaten.The crescent moon failed to hook its heart.

So it just sighed, and immediately started talking about other things: "I heard that Marshal Zhu will soon make himself king."

"Yes." Zhu Biao replied, "It's King Wu."

Wu Pin said sincerely: "It won't be too long to be called the King of Wu!"

This means that Zhu Yuanzhang is not far from the day when he became emperor.

It continued: "Our Highness has heard us tell the story of the Young Master for a long time, and due to some reasons, it cannot appear, but his enthusiasm for the meeting is not low, and I hope the Young Master will understand."

Zhu Biao really couldn't guess who this "His Royal Highness" was, so he couldn't figure it out. Naturally, he put aside the things that he couldn't guess. Wupin suddenly mentioned it, but he felt strange.

"I understand. He has helped me a lot, but now I don't have a gift to thank him for. I will definitely find a way to repay him in the future."

Just talking about introducing Zhang Zhong, Zhu Biao can’t thank him too much. At first he felt that this brought him strength and opportunities, but now, Zhu Biao has realized that this has brought him something worthwhile. Respected Master and deep affection.In contrast, the former is not even that important.

Wu Pin hurriedly said: "That's not what we mean, things are not important, how could we want some kind of gift in return! I'm just afraid that you will think too much, my lord."

"I understand." Zhu Biao said with a smile, "If you invest in me at that time, the chances of getting a return are not high, and you are more optimistic about me?"

"Exactly!" Wu Pin said, "Humans and monsters like us, don't we follow the law of fate in everything? Gold, silver and treasures are too useless, who cares."

Then it continued: "In the past few years, we have been in frequent contact with the young master, we have exchanged information, and we often have fun. We are already friends, but we say things differently."

Zhu Biao smiled and said nothing.

Then Zou Pusheng came out.

After he came out of the door, the guard on night shift unlocked and continued to stand guard.

"Mr. Zou, how did the conversation go?"

Zou Pusheng said: "...It's not bad. If I can come today, I will trouble you, my lord."

"I don't hate him." Zhu Biao said.

He originally wanted to see what the prince was like, make a draft for his future career plan, and refer to a partner, but he didn't expect to see these.

"Mr. Zou still wants to come to see him in the future, so come by yourself." Zhu Biao handed the sign to Zou Pusheng, "Just be sure to meet after dark. Be careful, don't let anyone catch you."

Zou Pusheng raised his head abruptly, and said in surprise, "How can this work? It's not suitable for emotion or reason."

"My father has told me to handle it myself. Mr. Zou can rest assured." Zhu Biao said.

Zou Pusheng hesitated for a moment, and wanted to decline.

Zhu Biao didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "Take it, if you don't want to come, it's just taking up space."

Zou Pusheng couldn't refuse this time, so he took the token, thanked him again and again, and left first.

U Pin watched him gradually disappear into the night, couldn't help turning his head and asked: "This, is this really inappropriate?"

"I believe in my own eyesight." Zhu Biao said, "Even if they want to take some actions and spread some news, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a good way to clean up the spies in the city."

Wu Pin gave a secret praise, enlarged himself again, and crawled towards the river: "Let's go, young master."

------

Zhu Biao has a lot of things to do. After a few days of rest, he has to start studying, attending classes, and practicing meditation. He occasionally intervenes in the affairs of the Demon Town Office, and he also helps with the restoration of Fengdu. The busy days go by very quickly. , It will be winter in a blink of an eye.

On this day, he took a few Tang Pozi custom-made from the craftsman, and was going to send them to Ma Xiuying.

Clothes, scarves, furs, heaters, coal, and recently, the treasures sent by Bai Tiantian, Huang Xiuzhu, and Poyang Lake Aquarium. Lay down twenty layers of mats.

Because Ma Xiuying is pregnant.

When other aunts were pregnant, Zhu Biao couldn't be too attentive, so he just asked his servants to take care of her, but Ma Xiuying was pregnant, so he couldn't do anything too much, no matter how much he did, others could only call him filial piety.

Old Comrade Zhu was not as diligent as Zhu Biao, but it seemed that Zhu Biao was his real father.

Passing by Zhu Yuanzhang's original yard, Zhu Biao turned a corner and walked in.

A few people inside were sweeping the snow, but they were not the eunuchs Zhu Biao had seen last time—Zhu Yuanzhang replaced them in order not to keep any cronies around Han Liner.And to be honest, he doesn't have a concubine now, so what's the use of having a eunuch?

"You're here." Han Liner said happily.

He couldn't tell the sound of footsteps, but Zhu Biao was the only one who came to see him, so he didn't need to distinguish any more. As soon as he heard the sound, he knew it was Zhu Biao.

"Here you are." Zhu Biao gave him a soup lady, "Why are you standing outside in the heavy snow?"

Han Lin'er's round face had two blushes, and the tip of his nose was also red. He put his hands in his sleeves and put them against his chest, like a shrunken ball.

Zhu Biao gave him something, he stretched out his hand, and then quickly put it back. It was a delicate body that was not resistant to cold.

"I'm looking at the Chinese cabbage I buried in the snow."

Zhu Biao groaned, and took a closer look: "It's a good plant."

"The seeds you gave are good, and I only planted cabbage. If you can't plant them well, you'd be too stupid."

"I have some bacon ribs at my place, I will ask Zhang Ziming to bring them to you sometime later."

Zhang Ziming successfully moved to Yingtian in early autumn after undergoing a somewhat cumbersome transfer and training. He is currently serving as Zhu Biao's personal nanny, ah no, he has been a bodyguard for more than four months, and he is always on call.

Han Liner remembered this man, he always followed Zhu Biao, so he had no resistance to seeing him, and nodded obediently.

"There are still a few idle books and stories." Zhu Biao said, "I'll give them to you too. It will get colder after a while, do you eat pots? I'll ask someone to make them for you."

No matter what the general situation is, Zhu Biao and Han Lin'er get along as friends. One of them is good at making decisions for others, and the other is accustomed to being arranged. When they get along, their personalities are very complementary and they have never had any conflicts.

"eat."

"It's okay, I'll go first."

Hearing that he was leaving, Han Liner subconsciously wanted to keep him, but then held back and sent him away with lonely eyes.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao turned back just after taking a few steps, and said with a smile, "I almost forgot to mention that your palace in Chuzhou has almost been repaired, and you can live there soon."

"Really?" Han Liner said in surprise, "How much longer?"

"I will definitely be able to go a year ago."

"Years ago? So fast."

"I'll write to you when I get there, and you can write to me if you want."

Han Liner said: "I will definitely write it for you!"

After the excitement passed, he realized the deeper meaning from Zhu Biao's words.

Being able to move to Chuzhou shows that Zhu Yuanzhang must be fully prepared, even if he puts himself far away, he still has the confidence to control himself.

The reason why he did this, apart from conventional factors, was the news that even the children on the street knew-Zhu Yuanzhang was about to become king.

How in the way is the emperor at this moment!

Without Zhu Biao, the servants will bully me more and more, can I really be more free?

Even if it is more free, the feeling of being frightened and cautious in words and deeds...

His smile disappeared instantly, like the weather in June, it became extremely fast, the corners of his mouth even fell down just after rising.

Zhu Biao had expected this situation a long time ago, and he told Han Liner the arrangement in advance in order to let him make preparations as soon as possible.A prepared change is much better than a sudden "fate".

Apart from that, he couldn't do more with respect to his standpoint. After all, their friendship wasn't pure enough, and it couldn't be pure at all.

Under the cover of the heavy clothes, Han Lin'er pinched her thigh fiercely. After calming down, she put on a silly smile on her chubby face again, as if she was not the one who lost before, as if none of them had spoken just now.

He was cheerful and urged Zhu Biao: "Let's go, go, don't you have something to do? My handwriting is very ugly. Now that I am free, I just hurry up and practice. I will write to you when the time comes. Do you recognize it?" If you come out, you will make a fool of yourself!"

He continued: "Don't waste my time! I won't send you off."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and cooperated with him, pretending that nothing happened: "Then I'll leave, you practice hard."

"Row."

Zhu Biao really left as soon as he said, he turned around and strode away, quickly walked out of the doorway, walked to the path, and then entered the courtyard gate, disappearing in the heavy snow.

Looking at his back, Han Lin'er slowly moved back into the room, shouted hoarsely that everyone else should go out, and shouted that if they didn't go out, he would kill himself.

The threat was successful, and when there was no one in the room, he leaned against the cold door and sat on the ground against the winter outside.

Zhu Biao at the other end felt very uncomfortable.The society in his previous life gave him solid values, a flexible mind, and the belief in "benevolence" that he could stick to in this extravagant and depraved place in ancient times.

But none of the tests in this life can be borrowed from past experience.Just take one out and it will make him feel at a loss.For example, this time, which modern person would easily encounter a situation where his father and his friends have enmity and cannot get along?

No, it cannot be said that there is hatred, it is more complicated, this is the entanglement of interests, either you die or I live...

He couldn't think of any way, and as he walked, he arrived near the backyard, where there were bursts of laughter.

Zhu Biao cleared his mind.

He has a very good advantage, that is, he never vents his emotions to irrelevant people.For example, if someone else talks to him when he is angry, Zhu Biao will communicate with him in a normal manner no matter how angry he is.

This is true for strangers, let alone relatives.

In order not to spoil everyone's happiness, Zhu Biao hid his melancholy and made sure that he looked the same as before before continuing to set off.

It turned out that the troupe was performing.

The uproar he heard was the applause of more than a dozen people doing monkey fishing for the moon in succession.

There were seventy or eighty people gathered in the open space, with chairs placed in front of them, sitting on them were Ma Xiuying and a dozen or so aunts, besides Zhu Biao's younger brothers and sisters.

The Li family, the Sun family, the Hu family, and the Hu family were all there, as were Zhu Xi, Zhu Yu, Zhu Yu, etc., but Zhu Di and Zhu Jingjing were not there.

Standing behind them are maids, servants, mothers-in-law and nurses, some of whom are accompanying the young master and young lady, and some of them are accompanying the aunt.

All in all, the situation is not small.The theater troupe who were able to perform at Shuai's Mansion were obviously very capable. Before the show even started singing, they conquered the audience with their juggling.Whenever there was any movement on the stage, whether it was hitting a bowl with chopsticks or doing somersaults, it would arouse exclamations from below.

Zhu Biao quietly walked to Ma Xiuying and sat down. In such a lively atmosphere, it was difficult for everyone to notice others, and few people noticed that he was coming.

"Mother, what day is it today, why do you still invite someone to come home?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and said, "It's only fifteen, it's lively and lively."

Her right hand is resting lightly on her stomach—there is no pregnancy yet, but this action is something many pregnant women will do subconsciously.

Zhu Biao quietly performed a thorough pregnancy test for her with his eyes, which gave her a lot of peace of mind.

Ma Xiuying noticed that he glanced at her, and quickly realized what he was doing, and said with a smile: "Aren't you born to me? What are you worried about? The first child may be more difficult, but the second child will be smooth."

"That's what you say, but you can't take it seriously. Mother, you should pay more attention to it and eat less cold food."

"It's said that a sour girl is a hot girl, and she likes to eat sour when she's pregnant. It can be seen that she may be like Jing Jing, a boy's temperament."

The fetus was still small, and the gender could not be discerned physically. Zhu Biao distinguished it from the yin and yang qi, and found that it was a girl, so he told Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying's position in Comrade Zhu's heart does not need to be stabilized by having children. Zhu Yuanzhang thinks it doesn't matter if it is a boy or a girl, and it is good to have a small padded jacket. Both of them are happily preparing to welcome the new life.

"Any character is good." Zhu Biao said, "She must be smart and beautiful, and she can do whatever she wants..."

Before he could finish blowing on his sister, he suddenly heard the sound of help being condensed into bundles with demon power, entering his ears.

"Boss, help me, I'm locked in the house!"

Zhu Biao had no choice but to get up, and handed over the Tang women in his arms to Li Li who happened to be walking towards him, waved his hand to signal her not to salute, and then hid behind a tree by the roadside.

"Are you in a hurry? Break open the window and go. I'll send someone to fix it."

"It's not about the windows!"

"Warehouse without windows? Then knock the wall open..."

"It's not about the wall either, Boss!" Ju Fei embraced the beams of the house with all four feet, and kept screaming, "It's your brother! Your brother is here again! He is not human at all! He even took your sister with him." !Just kill me!"
