Chapter 42 The Return
The time for a meal was over soon, and everyone filled their stomachs and set off on their way again.

Cao Wei and Zhu Di Daoyan were still sitting in the carriage.

Cao Wei couldn't help but feel nervous when she thought of Zhu Yuanzhang's wrinkled face.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was thought to be Zhu Shiliu before, even if Zhu Shiliu put on a majestic appearance, Cao Wei could deal with it calmly.

But when he learned that Zhu Shiliu was Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Wei's indifference... it disappeared.

How did that Zhu Shiliu become Zhu Yuanzhang?
That is the number one iron-blooded emperor in China's thousands of years of history!His tough tactics are unparalleled!

So is Yan Zhong also fake?What is his true identity?
Zhu Di and Dao Yan obviously had their own concerns, and the car was quiet.

Under the circumstance that everyone had different thoughts, the group continued to move towards Ying Tianfu.

……

Time passed silently.

When Cao Wei and others arrived at Yingtian Mansion Imperial City, it was already late at night and they had just entered Yinshi.

They walked for nearly twelve hours, and in less than an hour, it would be dawn again.

The moonlit sky tonight is equally clear, and the moonlight shining on the ground seems to be covered with a layer of silver powder.

The wheels of the carriage stopped on an intersecting street, and then Cao Wei got out and got off the carriage.

This is the junction between Yingtianhuangchengfang City and Jiangning County.

Cao Wei only needs to cross the bridge over the Qinhuai River and walk for a while to go home.

Arching his hands towards Jiang Yu, Cao Wei turned and walked in the direction of Jiangning County...

At first, Cao Wei thought that this matter had little to do with him.

Zhu Di really wanted to take him back to Peking, and Cao Wei knew this.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly intervened. At first, Cao Wei thought it was a conflict between the royal family and his son. But when he saw Jiang Yu and learned his true identity, he began to guess that he was probably involved in this matter. It cannot be separated.

But...don't care about him!
Things have become such a mess, every day you live is another day you earn.

After leaving home for a day and two nights, Yinger must be extremely worried. Cao Wei has to go home quickly to see his elder sons, Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang... Let's talk about it later.

"Jiang Yu."

After Cao Wei left, Zhu Di's voice came from inside the carriage.

Jiang Yu rode his horse and approached the carriage in front, and stopped at the curtain of the carriage.

"Your Highness."

"My father sent you to recover me, but what did you say?" Zhu Di raised the curtain and looked at Jiang Wei and asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards this matter is very important, and it may affect Zhu Di's long-term future. Zhu Di naturally has to take it to heart, and wants to get a general idea from Jiang Yu.

However, Jiang Wei handed over his hand and told the truth, "Your Majesty only ordered the subordinates to recover His Highness and Cao Wei, and the other subordinates did not know anything about it."

Zhu Di nodded slightly when he heard the words, "Okay, this trip has worked hard for you, let's take a rest and go."

After saying that, he lowered the curtain and the carriage drove slowly away.

Jiang Wei waved to several subordinates,

knock off!

the other side.

Cao Wei had already reached the door of the house, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

Almost instantly, there was a knock on the door, followed immediately by the sound of very rapid footsteps.

In an instant, footsteps came to him.

Then, the courtyard door was opened, and Cao Wei saw Cao Ying standing inside the door.

Different from Cao Ying's handsome and elegant appearance in the past, now Cao Ying's face is haggard, with tiny bloodshot eyes, and his hair is a little messy, with a few strands of hair scattered on his forehead.

Cao Wei was taken aback, knowing that Cao Ying was worried about him.

Similarly, Cao Ying also saw Cao Wei with his head still wrapped in fine cloth after the courtyard door was opened.

"Father!"

Cao Ying finally couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Cao Wei's arms.

For a time, the sadness and worry that I once felt turned into the joy and happiness of seeing Cao Wei again.

Fortunately!Fortunately!My father returned safely.

Feeling Cao Ying's trembling body, Cao Wei smiled and patted his back.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm going to come back now, okay?"

Cao Ying raised his head, and Cao Wei saw the wet marks at the corners of his eyes.

In the previous ten years, Cao Ying hadn't cried much, and this year, I'm afraid she shed all the tears in the previous ten years at once.

"Father, what's going on? How did you become like this? Is Si...Did King Yan hurt you like this?"

Cao Wei led Cao Ying into the house and said as he walked: "It's not King Yan, it's Daoyan, the bald donkey next to King Yan..."

Even though he said so, Cao Wei also understood that without Zhu Di's instruction, Dao Yan would not sneak attack him.

"Ah?!" Cao Ying exclaimed.

"He can hurt his father like this, how can this person be so powerful?"

Cao Ying knew that Cao Wei was reaching out, but he didn't expect that the old-looking monk next to King Yan was actually a master.

When Cao Wei heard this, he couldn't help but sneered.

"He wants to hurt me too? My father can beat him a hundred times! He teamed up with King Yan to attack me unprepared."

Cao Ying's complexion did not change, and she silently wrote this down in her heart.

There is probably nothing he can do about King Yan, but the monk named Dao Yan...

When he came to the house, Cao Wei yawned and said with a grin: "Ying'er, go and have a rest. Looking at you like this, you must not have had a good rest in the past two days. My father also wants to have a rest, rocking on the carriage. Along the way, the bones are almost falling apart."

There is a saying that although horse-drawn carriages are the most high-end mode of travel at this time, the experience is extremely average and even a bit uncomfortable.

Even though the official road is very spacious and flat, the wheels of the carriage are all made of wood. At most, they are covered with a layer of iron sheet to reduce wear and tear. The shock absorption performance is almost non-existent. Even a small slope or pit will cause the carriage to heave obviously.

Zhu Di and Daoyan were born and raised in Daming with noble status, so they have long been used to traveling in horse-drawn carriages.

But for Cao Wei, a poor commoner, he never had to travel far. This was his first time riding a carriage, but he was stuck in the carriage for a day and two nights. Naturally, he couldn't bear it.

In fact, Cao Ying is not much better than Cao Wei. In the past two days, he has been worried about his father and has not thought about food or drink.

Ten years of upbringing made Cao Ying sincerely regard Cao Wei as his father. Although he was a fake father, the relationship between father and son was not fake at all.

In Cao Ying's heart, Cao Wei's father's identity is almost no different from his biological father Zhu Biao.

Because of this, Cao Wei's disappearance made Cao Ying even more unacceptable.

He has lost too many relatives, lost his grandma, lost his mother, lost his father.

The only closest relatives around Cao Ying now are Zhu Yuanzhang, Cao Wei, and his younger brother Zhu Yunxi, whom he has not seen for ten years.

In particular, Cao Wei's fatherhood has special significance. Cao Ying has already lost her father once, and she doesn't want to experience the pain of losing her father again.

Although he was willing to believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said that his father's life was not in danger, he still couldn't help but feel extremely worried!
As long as he doesn't see Cao Wei for a moment, the tension in his mind can't be let go for a moment.

Seeing that he was restless, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to stay in the palace to take care of him, but Cao Ying insisted on returning home to wait for Cao Wei.

Now that Cao Wei is finally back, Cao Ying can finally let go.

When the sky was about to turn white, both Cao Wei and his son returned to their room, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye...
