Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 356 Romantic Debt?
Ankara.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

Zhu Zhanhe spit out what was in his mouth and looked at the "lavish" dinner in front of him speechlessly.

Today, on a whim, he suddenly wanted to taste what the so-called Italian food tasted like in this era, but let's try this...

how to say?Meat is still good. After all, there are only a few ways to prepare meat in this era, and basically it will not be too unpalatable, but the same cannot be said for pasta.

How to describe it?
Zhu Zhanhe felt that after Marco Polo traveled to the East, he was chased by a dog on the way back, and the second volume of the pasta recipe was lost...

"Your Highness." Jian Xiao walked in, seeing Zhu Zhanhe's expression and the things he spit out on the ground, he didn't know how to react for a while.

"What's wrong? I have something to say."

"Your Highness." Jian Xiao finally came back to her senses, lowered her head and began to report.

"The soldiers have been assembled and repaired, and the provisions and baggage have been prepared. I would like to ask you when you can set off."

"Well..." Zhu Zhanhe lowered his head and thought for a while before waving.

"sit."

Jian Xiao was stunned for a moment, then woke up and sat down following Zhu Zhanhe's movements.

"Eat some, this pasta isn't that good, but the meat is still edible."

"As for the departure, let's wait until tomorrow. It's getting late today, and we won't be able to go far even if we set off. It's better to let everyone have a good night's rest."

"Yes." Jane bowed slightly with a smile, and then unceremoniously picked up a leg of an unknown animal and began to tear it.

After spending time with Zhu Zhanhe for a long time, Jian Xiao also understood Zhu Zhanhe's temperament.

Zhu Zhanhe actually had a very bright temper. He showed no mercy to his enemies and dealt with them as he wished, but he was very kind to his own people, even those Ah San who was brought in to be the vanguard.

Therefore, in comparison, Jian Xiao still prefers to follow Zhu Zhanhe instead of stationed in Japan for several years like Qian Yong.

However, Zhu Zhanhe didn't like having Jian Xiao follow him very much, because Jian Xiao was a very smart person. He had high hopes for Jian Xiao and didn't want him to be by his side all the time.

It's not that he has any other ideas, it's just that everyone will habitually not think when they are around him and choose to obey his orders, and Jian Xiao cannot be such a person.

Zhu Zhanhe had already planned for Jian Xiao's future, and in his plan, Jian Xiao must be one of the most important people.

Let's put it this way, excluding the Suez Canal where people are currently stationed, the others include the Turkish Strait and the Malacca Strait. In Zhu Zhanhe's plan, Jian Xiao will be stationed in one of these two places for a long time in the future.

"By the way, His Royal Highness." After taking a few simple bites, Jian stopped laughing.

"You can just ask Mu Bin to clean up the remaining power of the Ottoman Empire. Those people can't make any waves. It's more suitable for Mu Bin to practice, but isn't it inappropriate to let Qian Yong and Sanfeng go there too?"

"What's inappropriate?" Zhu Zhanhe picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"He is the next leader of the Mu family. He may not be particularly outstanding, but he must be better than ordinary people. But he is not very qualified now."

"You have to see what you need to see. It's okay to hide it all the time."

……

Jian Xiao lowered his head slightly, but actually that was not what he wanted to say.

Recently, with the lineage of King Wu taking control of the Ming Dynasty, there have been more and more rumors.

Again, when a beam of light breaks through the darkness and shines on the earth, everyone will sing its praises, but if it remains in the sun for a long time, people will begin to despise it until the beam of light disappears again and will not appear again until unknown time.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty blindly emphasized kindness, and Zhu Zhanhe, who was decisive in killing, was the light in the darkness. People saw hope in him and saw that the future would no longer be plagued by grassland, Japanese pirates and Annan again and again. The hope of hazing.

But later, after a long time, people got used to the comfortable life brought about by Zhu Zhanhe's decisive killing, and they began to be afraid.

They were afraid that Zhu Zhanhe's decisive killing and constant fighting would eventually send them or their fathers, husbands and children to the battlefield where life and death were unknown. They were afraid that Zhu Zhanhe would become murderous and eventually turn his butcher knife on them.

So they started to gossip, and even started to spurn Zhu Zhanhe and the entire lineage of King Wu.

Jian Xiao knew very well that Zhu Zhanhe was the pillar of King Wu's lineage. If Zhu Zhanhe, the pillar of the lineage, fell, the newly completed building of King Wu's lineage would collapse in an instant.

Therefore, he was very worried about the impact Zhu Zhanhe's remarks would have on Zhu Zhanhe when he was in Shuntian Mansion.

In Jian Xiao's eyes, Zhu Zhanhe left Daming in a "hurry" and came here, which was actually a manifestation of escape.

"Your Highness, many people now say that you have done something wrong. At the very least, you should not have continued to wage war for such a long time."

Jian Xiao wanted to choose some light words as much as possible, but he was not a politician and did not know those words, and these were actually light enough.

"Jian Xiao, I would like to ask you, do you feel that you... um... did something wrong?"

"You want to ask me if I think I did something wrong?" Zhu Zhanhe heard the implication of Jian Xiao and pointed it out directly.

Jian Xiao lowered his head and remained silent.

"Jian Xiao, don't worry about so many problems." Zhu Zhanhe smiled and began to explain to Jian Xiao.

"You only live this life. If you think about it a little bit, aren't the people saying that I did something wrong? They also say that I will be punished sooner or later, but you can see that I am very open-minded."

"If one day the retribution comes, it will be that I did something wrong."

"What if he doesn't come?" Jian Xiao looked at Zhu Zhanhe blankly and subconsciously added.

"If I don't suffer retribution, doesn't that mean I'm right?"

……

Jian Xiao was speechless and almost wanted to open her mouth, but in the end she held it back.

He didn't need Zhu Zhanhe's explanation, because he had already looked away after that special experience that year and never cared about other people's opinions.

It's just that he originally planned to release Zhu Zhanhe, but he didn't expect to be released by Zhu Zhanhe.

Looking at Jian Xiao who was stunned on the spot, Zhu Zhanhe smiled slightly and said no more.

He didn't believe in retribution, and even if there was one, he didn't think he would suffer it.

Since the Han Dynasty became a vassal, he began to conquer all over the country, and the places he visited were thousands of miles away, with the exception of Nanzhou Prefecture.

In the countries he conquered, not only the royal family was gone, but the people were basically gone as well. What retribution could there be?
If there is, then it can only be within the Ming Dynasty, or the alliance of the powerful, or the common people's initiative.

But does that count?

"His Royal Highness." Just as Zhu Zhanhe was thinking, Zhu Ling walked in.

"The food and grass supplies from Xiangzhou Prefecture have arrived, but the person delivering them..."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhanhe frowned.

It is quite rare for Zhu Ling to look so embarrassed.

Seeing that Zhu Zhanhe was unhappy, Zhu Ling lowered his head and spit out a name.

"Second Sister Shi."
