Daming prepares the emperor

Seeing Zhu Biao getting into the car, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the book in his hand and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yes, the fourth brother and younger sister are in the box."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Those two little bastards don't do serious things all day long and climb up and down. When they go to school, their grades will definitely not be as good as yours."

"Everyone has their own ambitions. And they may not be as good as me, Dad, I can't say enough."

"Tch." Zhu Yuanzhang let out a gasp, "When I was three years old and saw my old age, I'm afraid I will look like this in the future. And you, when you were so old, you dared to fight against Huang Pizi."

Knowing that Comrade Zhu didn't really dislike the two little radish heads, Zhu Biao gave him a step down: "The fourth brother investigated from summer to winter for a while. This perseverance and persistence are rare among adults. And my sister , I don’t know if it’s because of my natural talent, or because I was enlightened by that incident when I was a child, and my physical fitness is already outstanding.”

"They are trying so hard to reveal my secret, and it's okay to know it this time. So that they can understand what it means to be curious and kill the cat."

"Just a long memory." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more.

He opened the curtain of the car: "Is Bowen here?"

Wu Ce rode a horse and waited outside the window, looking towards the side of the road. Hearing this, he pulled the rein and turned his head: "This subordinate has already seen Master Liu's shadow."

Sure enough, a figure from far to near gradually appeared on the road, and that was Liu Ji riding a horse. In the cold winter, he still wore a single-piece toga with large sleeves, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water.

With the deepening of his cultivation, Zhu Biao has gradually been able to avoid the cold and heat, but in order to hide his eyes and ears, he still wears seasonal clothes. Sometimes Ma Xiuying fears that he will be cold, so he will add some scarf gloves for him.

On the face of it, Liu Jiming is the person in charge of the Town Demon Division, and he is also well-known in private. Without these worries, he can dress however he wants, with as much grace as he wants, which makes Zhu Biao very envious.

When he got close, Liu Bowen yelled, stopped it, dismounted lightly, lifted the hem of his clothes, thumped into the car, and sat beside Zhu Biao.

"Hello sir."

"Marshal, young master." Liu Ji cupped his hands and saluted, "Some things are delayed."

Judging from his expression, he seemed a little resentful, hiding a wave of anger, as if he had just quarreled with someone.

In terms of guessing his thoughts, Zhu Biao is not as good as his father. After all, the two monarchs and ministers have the same mind and a tacit understanding everywhere, but when it comes to understanding emotions, Zhu Yuanzhang can't see it, but Zhu Biao can understand it.

He didn't ask at the moment, but told Wu Ce to leave quickly.

The number of this small team is not large, there are only six in total, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Zhu Jingjing, Zhu Di and Wu Ce.

The servants who were seen by Zhu Di and Zhu Jingjing in the morning seemed to be carrying something, but they didn't actually follow up. The things they carried were not sundries to be sent to Yingtian, but the dowry of a certain bride.

Zhu Biao used this incident to cover up his trip with Zhu Yuanzhang, and framed two radish heads by the way.

Acting quickly has always been Zhu Yuanzhang's advantage. He was worried that Ma Xiuying would be hurt by bumps when she was pregnant, so she didn't even bring her with her.

The carriage drove to a tributary of the Qinhuai River. The water surface here was not as wide as other places, but it was better in depth. In the middle of the river, their "traffic officer" was waiting.

A layer of ice was frozen on the surface of the water, neither thin nor thick, and continued to the soil on both sides of the bank, spreading some yellow grass and weeds and trees, forming frost flowers.

Zhu Biao came down first, took out a conch from his bosom and blew it. The humming sound echoed in the empty and blue sky. With a sound, a huge black fish jumped out.

Wu Ce's hand trembled, and he couldn't help but stretched it behind his back—his sword was there.

The two children in the box who were peeking at the lid with the top of their heads were also taken aback. They retracted suddenly, and the lid fell with a muffled sound, causing Zhu Yuanzhang to look back.

He shook his head and got out of the car with Liu Bowen.

"This is Yeming." Zhu Biao introduced to the two, "The family is in the South China Sea, and he is a friend of Mu Shisan. He has signed a contract with the Zhenyao Office. We will provide him with food and spiritual fruits, and he will send anyone who wants to go to Fengdu. people pass by."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked Ye Ming up and down with great interest: "What are the thorns on its body for?"

"Ah." Zhu Biao was taken aback, "Let me ask."

After explaining the problem to Ye Ming, it uttered several calls of unknown meaning, like the cry of a whale in the sea, long and deep.

"It said the spines were just for fun."

This time it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn to be stunned: "We still thought we could use it to stab the boat, forget it, how do we go?"

Ye Ming moved a few times, swam to the shore and opened his mouth.

Unable to control herself, Zhu Jingjing opened the lid and looked out, just in time to meet the dark abyss of the fish mouth, excitedly said: "Do you think we are going to go in there!"

Zhu Di had lingering fears: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Zhu Jingjing tilted her head, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I like monsters?"

"The river mussel found in Big Brother's yard is a completely different monster than this fish!"

"There's no difference. Don't they all listen to the elder brother?"

"Yes, but..."

Zhu Jingjing suddenly pressed Zhu Di's head and pressed him to the bottom of the box. Before he got angry, he whispered: "Shh, the big fish is going to eat us."

Zhu Di was even careful to breathe immediately. After a slight jolt, a long time passed, and there was no movement outside. If it wasn't for the fact that there was someone beside him, he almost thought he was still lying on the bed at home.

"What's going on..." He asked in a low voice, "Zhu Jingjing, have father and elder brother gone out?"

The more I thought about it, the more I realized it was possible, and beads of sweat began to form on Zhu Di's forehead: "We were left behind?"

"Don't call me Zhu Jingjing, call me sister." Even though Zhu Jingjing had a big heart, she couldn't help but feel a little scared, but she would never say it, and she wanted to take advantage of it.

"……sister."

Zhu Jingjing was extremely proud, and said happily, "Just wait, I'll take a look."

Like a rabbit coming out of a hole, she quickly popped out to take a look, then retracted and said in surprise: "We are in the same room! Big Brother and Dad are talking with a lantern in the distance."

"The house?" Zhu Di analyzed, "Just that shaking, and the feeling of being lifted up, it may only be that it entered the belly of the fish, and there is no reason to go elsewhere. There is no other situation after that... I understand, the fish's belly There is a room."

"It's so powerful!" Zhu Jingjing trusted Zhu Di very much, "It's even better than a big cargo ship!"

"You monster, of course it's convenient."

Monster, convenient?

An idea flashed through Zhu Di's mind, like sparks produced by an iron object hitting the wall, fast and short, he didn't catch it, didn't think about it, just let it pass by.

"Listen to me, it's very critical now!" He grabbed Zhu Jingjing's arm, "We're going to find elder brother while father is away."

"Isn't that exposed?"

"Stupid! We are children, we don't know where we are going, and we don't know anyone. How dare you try to be brave? It's better to confess to Big Brother first than to apologize to Dad first! At least Big Brother will save us if he begs for mercy. Half ass."

"You really... how do you say it? I thought of it, you are so cowardly!" Zhu Jingjing looked at Zhu Di with the look of looking at a dung beetle, "Can't you think about the scene where we have nothing to do? You know the ass and the ass .”

Zhu Di calmly said, "This is the best way."

"Don't you want to know Big Brother's secret? We're so close!"

"...Then let's take a look again?"

"Let's have a look again! Maybe there is a chance? If there is a chance, let's run out quickly."

"I'll hold you back."

"I'll drag you away."

Zhu Di was relieved, so he took out a few pieces of donkey wrapped in a handkerchief from his pocket and said, "Here, I took this when I went out. Eat some to pad your stomach."

Zhu Biao sighed.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was studying the stone wall with a lantern, looked over: "What's the matter, Biaoer?"

"We can't have our silk anymore." Zhu Biao said helplessly, "I heard my fourth brother say that he wants to eat donkey rolls, and the donkey rolls he brought with him when he went out, even if the syrup is iron, it should melt by now."

"Stinky boy, you are well prepared. You are a good fighter." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and patted Zhu Biao on the back. "Let him fight the north for you in the future."

"By the way, have you seen Sapphire?" He recalled, "Tiande issued a transfer order, and I don't know if it will be transferred back."

"Uncle Xu told me about this." Zhu Biao said, "General Lan Yu is still on the way, maybe he can come back in the first month, but when he comes back, he should let people celebrate the New Year first."

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang replied, "It makes sense, Biao'er is right."

Sometimes Zhu Biao suspected that even if he dipped his hand in ink and wiped a few seals on the paper, Zhu Yuanzhang would think it was a traditional Chinese painting.

Liu Ji had been sitting on the stone bench with his eyes closed to rest, then he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Mount Tai has arrived."

"Sir, have you seen luck?" Zhu Biao asked.

"That's right." Liu Ji's eyes lit up, "Commander, when you ascend the throne in the future, why don't you enshrine Zen in Mount Tai. It will be of great benefit to stabilizing the dragon's veins, and the name is justified, and it is easy to win the hearts of the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang was moved, but he said he had to think about it again.Feng Chan is not his business alone, how to arrange a large number of civil and military officials to travel is not something that can be decided by patting the head.

Ye Ming followed the route that Zhu Biao came to Fengdu last time to send them to Fengdu, and then left without looking back. This time, Zhu Biao exercised special powers. Usually, even if someone blows the conch, it will take time for it to rush over. , won't wait somewhere fixed.

This kind of monster, which has been passed down from generation to generation, seems to be born to visit the mountains and rivers and enjoy the famous places.

After getting into the carriage again, Wu Ce drove according to the address given by Zhu Biao. At about noon, they climbed to the top of a certain hill.

Zhu Biao pointed his right hand together, and the folding fan flew out with its movement, opened and closed in the air, up to the clouds and mists in the sky, and down to the low forests, quickly depicting a huge spell, leaving golden traces.

Wherever it goes, there are bursts of piercing sound, unlike the power that ordinary monks can control.

squeak-

The voice seemed to resound in the heart, less than ten feet away from the crowd, an invisible door opened.

The mist was generated out of thin air, and then dispersed out of thin air, and a city appeared.

Looking up, I saw an old man sitting there under the city gate whose hat was off and the top could not be seen, holding a red rattle in his hand, beating it, as if he was teasing someone.

Sensing that someone was coming, he saluted subconsciously, wanting to use an official accent first, but he didn't expect to see Zhu Biao when he looked up.

"Young master! Why are you free today?"

Zhu Biao stepped forward: "Mr. Mu, this is my father, this is Mr. Liu, and this is my father's guard, Mr. Wu."

"Oh!" Mu Shisan hurriedly straightened his clothes, greeted each other, and introduced himself, "Old Mu Shisan, a piece of wood turned into a spirit, this is my son Mu Xiaoyi."

"It's rare." Liu Bowen stroked his beard and said, "It's rare for vegetation to become fine, and it's even rarer for such a body shape. Mr. Mu has a chance."

Monsters like to hear this kind of talk the most, Mu Shisan couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he ordered Mu Xiaoyi to open the door, and at the same time brought them tokens to enter the city.

Zhu Biao took the things and handed one to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, this is made of lightning-struck wood. In places like Fengdu where there is a lot of yin, it can not only be used to protect the body of the living, but also play a role in positioning." .”

Entering the city is different.After several months of tidying up and repairing day and night, Fengdu became peaceful and gentle like a girl who changed her dressing style.

After the evil ghosts are eliminated, the life of the good ghosts is much better.There are many small vendors hawking on the side of the road. Those who sell rice, noodles, fruit, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and rouge hairpins, at first glance, are no different from the world except for their strange appearance.

It was the first time for Zhu Yuanzhang to see so many ghosts together, and he felt fresh. When he saw something strange, he asked Zhu Biao what it was. After getting the answers of starving ghosts, crying ghosts, ghost ghosts, etc., his mood gradually changed. .

"It's still a war..." he sighed, "Let's not talk about anything else. When there are no ghosts of starvation and ghosts of unjust death, we will be worthy of the people."

"Why is it different there?"

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, it was a separate area. Although it was not surrounded by any fences and the entrances and exits were not blocked, it was obviously separated on purpose.

In terms of architectural style alone, it is also very new.

"There are the ghosts of Yingtian City." Zhu Biao said, "Although they were taken into Fengdu, they are newcomers after all. They don't get along well with other local residents, and they are a little afraid of unexpected situations, so they live separately."

"Hmm..." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, "Biao'er, give us a copy of your invisibility spell, let's go in and take a look."
