Daming prepares the emperor

The rain is getting heavier.

Liu Chubai ran away, blurred into a mass of white shadows, vaguely like light in the rain.

Muddy water splashed on its legs, and little spots formed on its fur.

Zhu Biao stopped at the place where Liu Chubai stopped. He didn't like to have servants following behind him, so he didn't have to worry about anyone finding him at this time.

The bamboo curtains are half-rolled, and there is faint candlelight in the carved windows, as if someone is sleeping on the pillow.

This is Sun's house.

In the rainy sky, Zhu Biao's eyes were like cold stars, and the chill in the rain seemed to sink in his eyes, heavy like a pool of lake water.

Liu Chubai didn't cry, just squatted quietly, and after a while, he pulled Zhu Biao's trouser legs with his mouth, signaling that he had completed the task.

"Good dog." Zhu Biao softly said, rubbing six wet white hairs.

The talisman paper is here with Mrs. Sun.So the question now is, did Sun bring this talisman on purpose and put it in Ma Xiuying's yard, or was she also an innocent victim?

Is this a house fight or the hand of the enemy?

Zhu Biao could clearly see the blood oozing from the room, each piece was the size of a palm, and the same talisman paper had been pasted all over the wall.

The one in Ma Xiuying's yard was probably restrained by the strong popularity, as if eating and drinking would cause her to die.It's just a talisman, trying to take away her luck is like a joke.

When Zhu Yuanzhang's career was booming, Ma Xiuying, as his wife, was the biggest vested interest after the eldest son Zhu Biao.

When Zhu Biao looked in the mirror, he could see the popularity gathered on his body, which was only a little bit stronger than Ma Xiuying.

But even if there are these talisman papers in Sun's house, even if she is being sucked into luck, it cannot be inferred decisively that she is innocent. There may be evil tricks, and there may be backlash for doing bad things.

Be cautious in everything.

Do not underestimate the enemy.

In fact, it is best to tell Comrade Zhu about this matter, and it is most convenient for him to handle it.With his methods, he can find someone in less than half a day, and kill someone with blood flowing in rivers and heads rolling.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is not here now, he went out to fight.And Zhu Biao didn't want to involve Ma Xiuying, he just has a child's body, which doesn't mean that his thinking and logical ability has also become a child.

"Go, tear up everything inside." Zhu Biao said coldly, "Don't alarm people."

As soon as the words fell, the white "Lightning" rushed out quickly. Zhu Biao waited outside for a while, and Liu Chubai came back with a thick stack of talisman papers in his mouth, and put them in Zhu Biao's hands.

This thing is invisible to ordinary people, Zhu Biao is an exception, and Liu Chubai can only be smelled by smelling it.

"Is there any more?"

The white dog shook his head.

"Okay, let's go."

The paper umbrella firmly covered Liu Chubai again, Zhu Biao walked out of the courtyard quickly, and found the nearest small kitchen.

The water was boiling in the kitchen, and the maid was probably busy elsewhere, and no one was watching. Zhu Biao bent down to pick up a firewood from the stove, sat on the steps of the eaves, and slowly lit the stack of thick paper. .

As soon as the flame licked the end of the yellow paper, it burned to pieces immediately, and ashes fell like snow.

The ashes mixed with the rain and turned into mud.

After going out here, Zhu Biao caught someone casually and asked him to go and tell Mu Ying for him, saying that today's agreement was cancelled, and that they would make an appointment another day, and then circled around in the commander's mansion.

Zhu Biaozai checked all the courtyards carefully, and found nothing wrong. He thought that his own practice was not enough. If he could, he could see the difference by climbing up and looking up.Why is it so troublesome now.

The only thing he can do is wait.

While waiting, there is no solution yet.

Zhu Biao didn't go out for several months, just stayed in the mansion, wishing he could listen to six directions and see all directions.When Ma Xiuying asked, she was just perfunctory, saying that her cultivation has been getting better and better recently, she has made great progress, and she has no time to go out.

Time passed slowly like this until the day when Mrs. Sun gave birth.

Zhu Biao got up early to practice calligraphy, and as soon as he spread out the rice paper, he picked a jade paperweight and pressed it on top, when someone called him outside the door.

The jackdaw that was always wandering around the handsome mansion landed on the window, and shouted in a sharp voice: "She gave birth! She gave birth!"

Liu Chubai trembled in fright, and jumped up from his mat.

Zhu Biao stabilized the dog with one hand, frowned and said, "Be clear, who gave birth? Is there any special situation?"

The Jackdaw organized his words and called out in a low voice: "It's the house you let me watch. The woman surnamed Sun is about to give birth!"

"Where's my mother?"

Jackdaw said: "It's over."

"Thank you." Zhu Biao nodded, opened the drawer and took out a small bag of wrapped millet, motioning for Jackdaw to grab it, "Please watch over it for me."

"It's easy to say." The Jackdaw was overjoyed, and immediately stretched out his head to grab the rice bag, spread his wings and flew away.

No matter what the purpose was for Sun's childbirth, Zhu Biao had no reason to go in and see it.So he could only quietly climb up from the courtyard wall and wait on the roof. As for Liu Chubai - Gougou can go anywhere.

No one would doubt a dog.

Charcoal was burning in the room, and water was boiling on the charcoal basin, bubbling and bubbling, apparently boiling.Ma Xiuying was sitting outside waiting, Li Li served her tea and stood aside with a tray.

The maids and women shuttled back and forth, holding towels in their hands, and kept pouring out pots of blood.

Mrs. Sun was lying on the bed, with sweat rolling down her face one by one on the bed. The screams echoed in the room, high and low, and the voice was full of pain. No matter who came, they could hear it. come out.

Hearing such a sound, not to mention the servants who are close to the house, even the people outside the house, such as Ma Xiuying and Zhu Biao, feel their brains buzzing, and there seems to be something crackling in their hearts. noisy.

Two midwives clutched the quilt, pulled it hard, and stretched out a temporary tent to cover Sun Shi, and another woman held a handkerchief, holding Sun Shi's hand, and said anxiously: "Hold hard! Hard!"

"Anyone with ginseng? Tell someone to slice the ginseng!"

"Is the hot water boiling?"

"Hurry up, hurry up! The head is exposed!"

Zhu Biao was listening to the movement on the roof, his heart fluttered. Although he was prepared, there was no perfect plan. The incident happened suddenly. If something happened, it would be the first time he had to fight something like a ghost. It's hard not to be nervous.

The bottom is still flustered, Zhu Biao can't wait to lift the tiles to see the situation.

"It's born! It's born!"

Zhu Biao heard an old voice, but before he could react, his eyes seemed to catch the flashing red shadow, and it was too late to look carefully.

What is it!

Zhu Biao immediately glanced down and saw that Ma Xiuying was okay waiting there, so he immediately turned back and stared at Sun's room.

In such a short time, the baby has been wrapped up, and the two midwives have also changed the quilt to cover Sun's body, and put the baby beside her.

What the hell?

Ma Xiuying and Li Li outside the door frowned when they heard the screams inside, and they didn't feel relieved until they heard the baby crying.

Li Li smiled and said, "It looks like she was born, Madam, don't worry."

At this moment, the door was opened, and the midwives came out in a hurry, knelt down and saluted in a row, congratulating: "Mother and child are safe, it is a girl."

"Girl? That's right." Ma Xiuying said softly, "Get up quickly, the child needs to be taken care of by you, and the nanny will not arrive until a few days later."

"It's a matter of course what Madam said."

"Xiao Li, bring some bounties over here."

The two midwives thanked each other happily. There was a happy atmosphere inside and outside the house. The mother and daughter were safe. What happened just now seemed to be just an illusion. How could there be any evil in the blue sky?

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, then leaned back on the tile.

Giving birth is bloody, and the child is a yin girl, so it's wrong not to talk about the facts today.Now it seems that the time is still very early, maybe it will be night—Zhu Biao thought for a while, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, took out a charcoal pen, and wrote a few lines on the paper.

In front of the door, Liu Chubai was squatting beside Ma Xiuying, listening to the movement in the room with his ears up, while lowering his head to nibble the pastry from her hand.

Zhu Biao tapped the tiles lightly.

Immediately, Gouzi's ears stood up higher, his head straightened up, and he hurriedly ran away from Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying patted the pastry crumbs in her hands, and said with a smile: "It's all taught by the master to be reckless."

Li Li said: "Why did Liu Chubai come here? Is there something wrong with the young master?"

"He has nothing to do, he is probably practicing calligraphy in the study." Ma Xiuying patted her skirt and stood up, "There is nothing to do here, let's go. Remember to send more people to look at it, this is Chongba Your first daughter, pay attention to..."

"The servant understands."

The two gradually drifted away, their voices gradually blurred, leaving only two shadows.Liu Chubai also happened to run to the eaves below Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao folded the paper a few times and threw it down, and said: "Xiao Liu, take it to my mother."

Liu Chubai picked up the ball of paper that fell to the ground and followed.

This time Zhu Biao really behaved himself.

He didn't want to meet the shoe sole again.

The sun moved towards the sky, around noon, Sun woke up, struggled to open his eyes, and groped for the child lying beside him.

"Wang Ma? Wang Ma..."

The woman with a blue cotton cloth on her head walked over quickly, bent down to wipe the sweat off Mrs. Sun's head, and said in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong? Are you thirsty?"

Sun said: "How is the child? Is there..."

Wang Ma said with a smile: "It's a girl, very healthy, not missing arms or legs, very good."

"That's good. Good girl."

Mrs. Sun is a weak woman, she really likes girls, she didn't say any lies to deceive people.Maybe other aunts would favor boys over girls, but it was absolutely impossible for her.

"I hug her."

Wang Ma said: "Okay, Miss, be careful, the newborn..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the window suddenly creaked.

In the bushes under the window, a shadow is crawling on the ground, as if it is extending, licking the light space little by little, trying to enter the house.

Wang Ma paused her hands and said in confusion, "I remember I just closed the window."

Sun didn't care too much and said, "Maybe it's the wind, let's close it again."

Wang Ma said hello, put the child next to Mrs. Sun, and walked quickly to the window.

"Miss, luckily there was no wind just now, people who have newborn babies can't see..."

"My child! My child! Wang Ma!"

Suddenly hearing a shrill cry, Wang Ma turned her head with her eyes wide open, with a confused expression on her face. As soon as she turned around, she was strangled tightly around her neck by a red thread, and fell to the ground with a bang, limp. It slid softly down the wall.

Looking at it from this side, Mrs. Sun has also been unconscious for a long time, lying on the bed, with one hand stretched out, as if trying to grab something, but now it just hangs softly by the bed.

The bed curtain shook violently by her hand.

Standing beside the bed was a woman dressed in red, her skin was pale, the veins on her forehead were bursting out, her pupils were a strange purple, her face was covered with red rouge and lip balm, her eyes were round and protruding, Under such a dress, although it was frightening, there was still some incomplete and terrifying beauty left.

And on her stiff neck, there was a red mark at the throat, which seemed to be scratched by a colored pen, and it seemed to be blood from a dagger, which was still flowing faintly.

What she was holding in her hands with long nails was a swaddling baby, which was what Mrs. Sun wanted to get back.

The woman picked up the baby, regardless of her mother or Wang Ma in the corner, and ran away, soaring into the air, swept several feet, and escaped through the window.

The blood-red shadow fled to the outside of the commander's mansion at an extremely fast speed.

The so-called cloudy wind transits.

At this moment, there was a sudden creak on the tiles, and a small shadow fell to the ground, supported it with his hands, stepped on the wall, turned over and chased after it.

The trees, tables, chairs, pavilions and pavilions in the garden quickly backed away, and Zhu Biao followed the woman closely. With his current level of martial arts, he could also catch up with these demons and ghosts.

Zhu Biao followed this unknown thing and walked farther and farther. At first, he was eager to snatch the child back, but found that she hadn't hurt anyone for a long time and wanted to run outside instead, so he decided to follow her.

If a gang commits a crime, it will be very troublesome. If there is any backup, it is inevitable that they will not be secretly tricked.

Followed, the woman ran to the vegetable market.

As soon as she arrived at the vegetable market, the woman changed her makeup, and there was no special effect, so she changed into a green dress and a yellow dress, holding the child in her arms, and took pictures as she walked, as if she was really a good mother.

Zhu Biao looked down at his satin clothes and his spoiled hands without calluses, and at the linen and cotton cloths in the vegetable market. After thinking about it, he went up to the roof again and followed quietly.

There are many stalls on the ground.

Meat stalls selling pork and mutton, vegetable stalls selling cabbage and potatoes, jewelry stalls selling colorful head flowers and cloth, and medicinal herb stalls crowded together bustlingly.

Butchers, old women, young women, and many women, carrying baskets, sacks, and sacks, went through the houses and streets, shouting loudly.

At the end of the long street, there was an old farmer leading a yellow ox and driving a flock of ducks.

The hustle and bustle is the state of all living beings.

The woman turned left and right, and entered a dilapidated yard.

If Zhu Biao dared to step on this roof, he would definitely be able to fall down.It is really strange that such a thatched roof has not been swept away by the wind.

He had to go down, rolled around on the ground, tried to make himself a little grayer, and then followed along the wooden fence.

All the thatch on the thatched cottage ran away from home, only a few were stubbornly left, which were spread in pieces, dry and yellow.

There was something like a water cellar in the ground. The woman hugged the child, patted her gently, coaxed her, and got into the hole.This child also has a big heart, as expected of Comrade Zhu, he didn't cry, didn't feel anything, just being hugged all the way.

Zhu Biao wanted to follow, but when he heard a snap, the door was shut outside.
