The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 320: Xu Da and Wang Baobao's life-and-death showdown, Zhu Yuanzhang's zero-cost treat, the power of the Queen's roasted goose!
"What did you say?"

"Even if we kill all the ministers in the world, we will definitely protect him from a happy death!"

Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that her sister could ask such a question.

And he asked such a question righteously, something he thought no one would ever ask in his life.

Queen Ma's words shocked him so much that his brain suddenly turned into a ball of mush. It also frightened him into coughing for a long time as the tea soup entered his trachea.

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang answering so unhesitatingly and decisively, she immediately became gentle.

She just smiled faintly and said: "In that case, then go to Xu Da in person. As long as he, the Duke of Wei who has handed over the seal of command and is also the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, takes the lead and agrees, this matter will be slowed down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "If this is implemented, his farm will also have to pay taxes, and there will be a lot of taxes. Can he agree?"

Empress Ma held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly and said, "The reason I asked you just now was to see your attitude towards him."

"The reason why you said that is because you trust him absolutely, just like you trust our son Biao'er."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately chuckled: "Yes, yes, yes, we treat old boy Xu Dana as our son, and we trust him so much."

"We grew up wearing a pair of trousers. When we peeped at Widow Wang taking a bath, he was outside watching. After the incident was revealed, we even removed his jaw and made him speechless. It made people think it was him. Peeping at Widow Wang taking a bath."

"He took too many beatings for us!"

"Now that I think about it, we feel comfortable and at the same time feel we owe him!"

Empress Ma just frowned slightly. Her Chongba was so cute. She even took advantage of her brothers.

But that's all she likes, she just likes the shameless Zhu Chongba!
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Don't be so proud in front of me. You should wear ordinary clothes. Don't go as an emperor. Just talk about the past together as brothers."

"While we were chatting, we started talking about it."

"By the way, you have to invite Wang Baobao to talk with you. As long as they support you, others can't make any big waves."

After saying that, Empress Ma held Zhu Yuanzhang's face, looked directly into his eyes and said, "Chongba, you not only believe in them, you also have to believe in your own eyes."

"My family, Chongba, has the sharpest eyes. It was you who said, 'General Xu Da is extremely brave. He goes out when ordered to succeed. He is not shy and does not attack. He has no love for women, no wealth to take, and he is upright and flawless. It is as bright as the sun and the moon, and there is only one great general. He defeated the barbarians and brought down the barbarians, and his merits are the first among all people in ancient and modern times. He is a general and a prime minister, and his talents in both civil and military affairs are unparalleled in the world."

"You said it yourself, Wang Baobao is 'the most amazing man in the world'!"

"Xu Da is the marshal of the Han family who does not want to be handsome in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Baobao is the marshal of the Meng family who does not want to be handsome in the Ming Dynasty!"

"As long as these two people take the lead and agree, no matter how much trouble the civil and military forces in the world make, there will be no trouble."

"They don't care about these worldly things."

The eunuch who was always serving on the side looked at this scene and felt that he couldn't stand it any longer.

Two people who were both 90 years old in total could still hold their faces and look at each other, which made him, a disabled person, unable to bear it.

He just felt that His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress had been in the palace for a long time, and it was time for General Mao to take over and accompany them to visit Mr. Ye.

The reason why he has such hope is because of the five words "out of sight, silence".

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are so young and not yet so inseparable. This couple is simply uncomfortable to watch!

It's time for dinner,

Zhu Yuanzhang and Mao Xiang, who were dressed in ordinary clothes, sat in the carriage they were on patrol in plain clothes, and headed all the way to the Duke of Wei's mansion in Xu Da.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of Wei Guogong's mansion.

He looked at the palace opposite the door, and immediately said to the accompanying Jin Yiwei: "Knock on Wang Baobao's door, and tell me to invite him and his daughter to dinner at Xu Da's house."

The young man from Jinyiwei who was accompanying him felt a little confused. Treating guests to someone else’s house for dinner?

Only Emperor Zhu, who has no money, can do such shameless things!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After seeing the young man from Jin Yiwei leaving, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Go and take out the roast goose made by the Queen. We want to have a good drink with Xu Tiande."

In the large square in the front yard of Wei Guogong's Mansion,

Under the setting sun, Wang Baobao and Xu Da, who were not at home, were fighting each other with swords and guns.

The two looked at each other with fierce looks in their eyes, and murderous intent in their eyes, as if only one of them could survive before sunset.

"Ah ah!"

Hearing two loud shouts at the same time, Xu Da, who was standing on the left with a golden gun in his hand, fired at Wang Baobao, who was standing on the right with a silver sword in his hand.

At the same time, Wang Baobao also gathered strength with both hands and struck Xu Da's face with one move.

Judging from the postures of the two of them, Xu Da was really aiming to stab Wang Baobao in the heart, while Wang Baobao was aiming to stab Xu Da in the face.

But just when both of them were about to succeed at the same time, they both changed their moves at the same time. The tip of the knife and the tip of the gun made a sharp metallic friction sound, and also produced dazzling sparks.

Xu Miaojin and Mei Duolam were sitting nearby, making Kung Fu tea, eating desserts, and watching the duel between their fathers.

In an instant, firelight flashed one after another, and the sound of metal collision continued one after another.

Wang Baobao is holding a long-handled sword, he is fast, his movements are big, and he has the aura of a fierce general!

Xu Da holds a red-tasseled golden gun. Not only is he fast, but his shooting skills are also unpredictable, and he can hit his vital points with every move!
"Where are you going to chop?"

"Where do you choose?"

The two daughters sitting next to them suddenly blushed and laughed. The two marshals had no bottom line. They both wanted to make each other eunuchs.

Although both of them are top-notch masters, they can stop instantly when they are only one centimeter away from the target.

But these tricks are still a bit too despicable.

This kind of trick, which is rarely used against enemies, is actually frequently used against each other?
I have to say that it is indeed a contest between marshals!
"Come again!"

"Come just come, am I still afraid of you Xu Tiande?"

After the two provoked each other for a while, the no-limit showdown between the marshals began again.

What looks like it's going towards the head is actually going towards the crotch, what looks like it's going towards the waist is actually going towards the toes, it's really about combining military skills with martial arts.

Not only that, they even used toe-stepping, a trick used by children to fight.

After playing for a long time, the result was the same as before.

That is to use both hands to control one's own weapons, firmly resist the opponent's weapons, and dive down with all lunges to compete with the so-called internal strength.

Of course, there is also a competition in the lethality of eyes.

Finally, their arms began to tremble and their eyebrows wrinkled.

The next moment, the golden spear and silver knife all fell to the ground, and the two men drew out their short weapons from their waists and slashed at each other.

In the end, I stopped using short weapons and just started using fists and kicks.

Suddenly, a scent of roasted goose floated in the wind!

This has been Xu Da's favorite since childhood. He likes to eat roast goose cooked by three women the most, and these three women are the eldest daughter Xu Miaoyun, the third daughter Xu Miaojin, and his queen sister-in-law Ma Xiuying.

Nowadays, the eldest daughter has been booked by the Zhu family, and she has to take care of the family's property before getting married. Naturally, she doesn't have the time.

The key is that even if she had the time, she was not willing to cook it for Xu Da, and even told Xu Miaojin not to cook it for Xu Da.

Of course, it is not absolutely forbidden. There is still no problem in eating half a roast goose to satisfy your craving for three months.

But if you eat half of one in three months, how can you satisfy Xu Da's craving?

The reason for such a restriction is that some imperial doctor secretly told Xu Miaoyun that eating too much roast goose would not be good for Xu Da's old diseases and injuries, so it would be better to eat less!
After Xu Da found out, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't find out who the imperial doctor was, as if he was being deliberately protected.

If he, an upright and flawless person, found out who this imperial doctor was, he would rather not have an upright and flawless evaluation, but he would have to vent his anger.It's a pity that after searching for a long time, I still can't find out who is so annoying!
There is no other way but to do this!
Of course, if the Queen was willing to reward him with a roast goose, his daughter would not dare to say anything.

But he also knew that the Queen's roast goose was not delicious!

Either he needs to fight to the death on the battlefield, or he needs his precious daughter!
"I won!"

"I finally defeated Marshal Xu Da, Xu Tiande and Xu!"

"I, Wang Baobao, finally defeated Xu Da in a fight and then defeated Xu Da in a fight."

"No regrets, no regrets in this life!"

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was led directly by the butler, looked at Xu Da who was thrown to the ground, and immediately knew that he came at the wrong time.

If it weren't for the aroma of the roasted goose, Xu Da would never have been thrown to the ground because of his momentary distraction.

And at this moment,
Xu Da, who was about to get up, suddenly fell down.

At the same time, he said with a painful expression: "Miaojin, help your dad to rest quickly. Your dad is dizzy and has back pain. He probably won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half!"

"Dizzy, so dizzy!"

"You Wang Baobao, you are really evil!"

Wang Baobao became nervous when he saw Xu Da who was so unbeaten. He wanted to beat Xu Da once, but he never thought of injuring Xu Da.

If Xu Da died too early, how lonely would he be?

He would rather his wife die early than Xu Da die early. He just wants Xu Da to die half an hour earlier than himself.

As long as you can win against him a little bit in the battle to survive longer, that's fine.

Wang Baobao hurriedly helped him and said: "Xu Shuai, I didn't kill him, I left three points of strength!"

"You were obviously distracted just now, so you tripped over me. What kind of military strategy are you using? How much money do you want to blackmail me for?"

"Say it clearly, I'll give it to you!"

Xu Da winked at Wang Baobao, but Wang Baobao didn't understand his thoughts at all.

Of course, it's not surprising that Wang Baobao didn't have a tacit understanding in this regard. He didn't know the saying "The Queen's roast goose is not delicious".

Xu Miaojin on the side looked at Zhu Yuanzhang standing outside the court with a "cheating smile" on his face, and the fragrant basket in Mao Xiang's hand, and immediately understood what was going on.

Who is his father?
He cannot identify his wives and concubines by smell, but he can definitely identify who cooked the roast goose by smelling the aroma.

Of course, it was limited to the roast goose made by her, her eldest sister, and the Queen.

Obviously, even if he was behind His Majesty's back, he would still know that the roast goose was cooked by the Empress and take the initiative to deliver it to his door.

Otherwise, he would not have suddenly become distracted and lost to Wang Baobao!
His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress invited him to the palace to eat roast goose. They either wanted him to go to the battlefield to fight for his life, or they wanted his precious daughter to marry the son of his old Zhu family.

Now taking the initiative to deliver the roast goose cooked by the Queen to his door, wouldn't it mean that he would immediately die?

You must pretend to be sick!

You have to pretend to be sick that you can't afford for the time being!
"Miaojin, if you don't want to help your father, why don't you let me help him?"

Medolam was about to help her Uncle Xu, but was pulled back by Uncle Xu's biological daughter.

Xu Miaojin smiled lightly and said, "My father is fine. Your Majesty is here. We can just watch."

"Remember, if the adults don't let us speak, we have the right to pretend we don't know anything."

As soon as Xu Miaojin finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and walked in.

Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "He is indeed our military marshal, and he is indeed the most amazing man in the world whom we personally proclaim. He is wonderful, very wonderful."

As he spoke, he looked at Mao Xiang who was holding the basket and said, "How does your kung fu compare with theirs?"

Mao Xiang naturally understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, and immediately waved his hand and said: "How can I compare with the two marshals with my three-legged cat skills?"

"Why did you say that elegant sentence? Now that I think about it, if I fight with them, it will be like a small tree shaking a tree!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Xu Da's pretending to be ill. He knew how to put himself in someone else's shoes.

If it were him, and the Queen's roast goose was brought to his door, he could lie down in the coffin and pretend to be dead, let alone pretending to be sick.

With a sly smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang extended his friendly hand of Chong Bage to Xu Da and said: "Should you continue to pretend, or should you let Chong Bage pull you up?"

"What else is there to show off? Of course it was Chong Bago who pulled me up!"

After Xu Da stood up, Wang Baobao was immediately stunned and couldn't understand what drama they were performing.

"Look, I'm wearing normal clothes today, and there's not even a dragon's beard on my clothes."

"We just want to come to Xu Da's house to treat everyone to a meal and chat, that's all."

After saying that, he took the initiative to greet the two girls and said, "Girls, tell people to prepare food!"

In the Xu family dining room,
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Baobao finished half of the roast goose alone.

"good to eat!"

"Your Majesty, the roast goose cooked by the Queen is really delicious. No wonder Xu Shuai lost to me as soon as he heard it."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "If it's delicious, don't eat it. Leave half of it for Tiande!"

Xu Da just smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you don't stay."

Wang Baobao was still very sensible and left half of it to Xu Da.

In Xu Da's eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Baobao and said, "We have something to ask you for help. We don't want to use our status as emperor to pressure others."

"Sometimes, we have to sit down and talk things over as brothers and friends, don't you think?"

Wang Baobao immediately laughed loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, etiquette in the court is indispensable. Sitting down in the court and discussing the truth is the best relationship between monarch and minister."

"You said, I can still quickly organize the hundreds of thousands of prairie warriors outside the pass into an army. Who are you going to attack?"

"I just want to take back the territory that Dayuan conquered back then!"

Zhu Yuanzhang held Wang Baobao's hand tightly and said: "Don't worry, this day will definitely come. By then, even if you are not the coach, you must be the deputy coach!"

When Wang Baobao heard this, he was so excited that he had to salute.

But Zhu Yuanzhang exempted himself from the ceremony in advance and said, "I already told you that I'm not wearing a dragon robe, so what else can I do?"

"But before that, some problems inside our home need to be solved!"

"The Meng Yuan and Semu officers and soldiers and people in the world are all looking at you, Wang Baobao. You must lead a good leader!"

Wang Baobao said strictly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely do it."

Xu Da didn't say a word, just smiled softly at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: "Brother Wang, how can your military skills compare to the two of them?"

"For half a roast goose, I asked you to sell everything and even help count the money!"

Thinking of this, Xu Da looked at the half roast goose placed in front of him.

"wrong,"

"The two of them originally planned to use this roast goose to take me and Wang Baobao with them?"

"What is so difficult and difficult that it deserves to be delivered to your door in person and bring both of us with you?".
