Chapter 196 Xu Miaojin’s sadness
It was late at night, but Xu Miaojin couldn't sleep.

She kept tossing and turning, and the things that happened today and yesterday kept flashing in her mind.

To put it bluntly, it is all content and pictures related to Zhu Zhen.

But why is this happening?Xu Miaojin didn't understand either.

After all, she is only 15 years old. Even if she is a smart and talented girl, there are things she has never experienced.

For example, the word love.

Although we have only known each other for less than two days, why do we always think of Brother Mu involuntarily?
His chest is so strong and reliable, and his mind is so broad. Even though he doesn't even know himself or what he looks like, he gives generously.

And today they rode the same horse together, but Brother Mu did not take the opportunity to touch him, but just held on to the saddle honestly.

Is it because I have no charm?

Xu Miaojin pouted, suddenly feeling resentful.

She was shocked. Could it be that Brother Mu was not honest with her and she was happy?

Xu Miaojin, Xu Miaojin, you are not one of those singers on the flower boats on the Qinhuai River.

It wasn't until late at night that Xu Miaojin finally fell asleep in a hazy state.

As a result, the next day, she got up late and didn't get up until close to noon.

"It's over, it's over, I got up late. Brother Mu and the others shouldn't have left, right? After all, he said he was on his way in a hurry," Xu Miaojin put on her clothes in a hurry, without even bothering to wash her face, and rushed downstairs.

As a result, Zhu Chun was nowhere to be seen in the lobby on the first floor. When he asked the waiter, Zhu Chun and the others had indeed checked out.

Xu Miaojin suddenly stood on the spot.

She was indeed left behind.

But yes, they met by chance, and there was no need for Brother Mu to accommodate him.

"Sister, are you awake?"

Suddenly, a pleasant call came, and Zhu Zhen was seen walking in from the door, holding some kraft paper packages in his hand, and he didn't know what was inside.

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming blankly and asked, "Brother Mu? Aren't you leaving?"

Zhu Ming blinked and said, "Who said we were leaving? Why would I leave you here, my sister?"

"But the guy said you've checked out?" Xu Miaojin continued to ask.

Zhu Ming continued to blink his eyes and said: "Aren't we going to continue on our way? Since we have already gotten up, of course we have to check out first, otherwise we will lose money if we have an extra day. But our horses are still in the backyard. Don't you think that Shall we go? Silly girl, didn't you notice the horses in the backyard? The guards are also feeding the horses in the backyard."

Xu Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief, then her eyes turned red, she stamped her feet, turned around and ignored Zhu Ming.

But she suddenly realized that her petty temper seemed to be unreasonable. Brother Mu didn't owe her anything, but she owed him a lot.

Thinking about it, Xu Miaojin carefully turned around to look at Zhu Ming secretly.

I saw Zhu Chu walking to a table, putting down the things in his hands, and greeting the waiter: "Man, my sister is up, please bring all the food."

It turned out that Zhu Chu and the others got up early and had already had breakfast, but Xu Miaojin never got up, so Zhu Chu reserved her portion first and waited for her to get up.

Xu Miaojin felt warm in her heart. She stepped forward and sat down in front of Zhu Chu. She said softly: "Brother Mu, I'm sorry. Don't be angry. I was acting angry because I thought you were gone and ignored me."

"It's okay," Zhu Zhen smiled and said magnanimously: "Girls, it's cute to act coquettishly. Big brother likes it."

Xu Miaojin blushed and rolled her beautiful eyes, but her heart was beating wildly and she felt a little sweet.

"By the way, Brother Mu, what are these?" Xu Miaojin did not pursue Zhu Chu's words of 'big brother likes', but instead looked at the kraft paper packages in front of Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming said: "These are some pastries. It doesn't matter that we old men have some solid food. I am afraid that you will be hungry on the way, so I prepared them for you."

Xu Miaojin's eyes lit up. She had a strict upbringing, and even if she was willful, she was just a little willful like a little girl. It didn't matter. The only shortcoming was probably delicious food, such as eating meat and desserts.

At this time, he raised his head and couldn't help but look at Zhu Ming in a daze, and even felt a little happy.

She just felt that she was being taken care of by the other party. Originally, she wanted to tell Zhu Zhen her true identity earlier, but now she didn't want to.

If Brother Mu knew that I was the daughter of Duke Wei, would he alienate me?
And if Brother Mu knew that the person I was escaping from was actually His Majesty's eighteenth son, would he be afraid?

After all, he was the son of Emperor Hongwu.

Xu Miaojin laughed silently.

Suddenly, she felt that in front of her and Brother Mu, there seemed to be a real Yangtze River acting as a natural moat, blocking them from getting closer.

Is this my destiny?I met Brother Mu by fate, but I didn't get along with him.

Fate and fate, if we can only have fate but no fate, it will be meaningless.

No wonder Brother Mu only said that we were destined to meet each other thousands of miles away, but did not mention the word fate.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but think wildly and began to feel sorry for herself.

Zhu Ming didn't know what the girl in front of him was thinking, so he asked the store clerk to bring the meal quickly, because they had to continue on their way after Xu Miaojin finished eating.

We have already arrived in Jiujiang. As long as we drive along the bank of the Yangtze River, we will arrive in a few days.

It's only a few hundred kilometers from Jiujiang to Nanjing. If you use modern transportation, you can probably drive there in a few hours.

Although Zhu Zhen and the others did not have cars, their horses were very powerful, even if they did not have to train day and night at an accelerated speed of [-] li, covering hundreds of miles a day.

It would not take more than five days at most, and they would basically be able to reach Yingtian.

It is already late July of the 26th year of Hongwu. At most, we can arrive between the first and third day of August.

When entering July, Zhu's tax resources for this month were 650 million, and the total resources reached 870 million.

This will be Zhu Chu's confidence. Even in Yingtian City, if Lao Zhu really doesn't intend to live a good life and wants to overturn the table.

Hum, Dad, don’t blame me, we can also kick the nest.

You lift the table and I kick the nest, come on, let’s hurt each other.

If you spend 4000 million resources to buy a Tiger tank, I will ask you whether you are afraid of it.

With the Ming Dynasty's firepower and technology, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to hit even a Tiger tank placed there.

After all, the Tiger tank is a heavy tank and is no joke.

Zhu Chu can even buy a combat aircraft, which can not only leave Yingtian and return to the Yunnan base area at any time, but also carry out bombing operations on Yingtian.

Of course, that is the worst outcome, otherwise Zhu Zhen would naturally be reluctant to blow up himself and his own territory.

"Brother Mu? What are you thinking about?" Xu Miaojin saw Zhu Ming suddenly startled, and he also had something on his mind. He suddenly felt that the delicious food yesterday was now so difficult to swallow, so he asked Zhu Ming to talk.

It's hard for Zhu Chu to express his thoughts. Should he tell this girl that he is actually the eighteenth son of Emperor Hongwu, that is, Zhu Chu, the king of Dian in Yunnan?

Then he might be put under house arrest when he returns to Beijing this time, or he might directly confront Lao Zhu, or even rebel?

You can't say a single word of these words.

Then Zhu Chu had an idea and said, "I thought of some interesting little stories, but I'm still hesitant to tell them to you, because I'm afraid you won't like them, girl."

Xu Miaojin's eyes immediately lit up and she quickly said: "Brother Mu, no matter what you say, I like the girl very much."

In fact, Xu Miaojin herself didn't notice that her words were extremely explicit.

But Zhu Zhen didn't pay attention, but said: "Actually, it's not an interesting story."

Zhu Ming hesitated for a moment, but he still did not tell his experiences in Yunnan as a story. Instead, he coughed lightly and told a story about Little Red Riding Hood.

Well, as Zhu Chu's attributes have been comprehensively improved, his memory has reached the point of photographic memory, and many past life memories have become much clearer.

It's like Grimm's fairy tales, etc. It's all at your fingertips.

And Little Red Riding Hood is one of the classic stories.

It's just that when Zhu Ming was speaking, he also had to make some modifications.

For example, add some fantasy color, treat the big bad wolf as a goblin, and a wolf becomes a spirit. Otherwise, there is no way to explain how a wolf can talk.

But in this case, Orion must be a powerful person who has achieved Taoism, preferably a Taoist priest with strong cultivation.

Because Zhu Zhen is a Taoist, he cannot be said to be an eminent monk, he must be a Taoist priest.So under Zhu Chu's modification, a little red riding hood full of oriental fantasy came out slowly from his mouth.

It is said that Little Red Riding Hood was a country girl, innocent and kind-hearted. One day she went to visit her grandma outside the village. As a result, she was spotted by a wolf demon who had become a spirit on the way. As a result, her grandfather and grandson were killed.

Fortunately, they passed by a Taoist priest who was accomplished in cultivation. He was kind-hearted and could not bear the death of the wolf, so he fought with the wolf demon for three days and three nights, and finally captured the wolf's head, and then broke open the belly of the wolf demon, and finally killed Little Red Riding Hood's grandfather and grandson. People were rescued.

It was the first time Xu Miaojin heard such a vivid story. She forgot her sorrow for a moment and listened to the story in rapt attention while eating.

And this kind of wonderful story with a happy ending is a bit too idealistic, but Xu Miaojin likes it very much.

She very much hoped that she could be like the protagonist in the story, and in the end there would be someone riding on colorful auspicious clouds to save her.

Looking at Zhu Ming in front of him again, Xu Miaojin was a little crazy.

But Zhu Chu was still lowering his head, using a pair of clean chopsticks to help Xu Miaojin pick out the fish bones from the river fish.

Anyway, idle time is idle. In addition, Zhu Chu's attributes are high, his overall physical fitness is also very good, his five senses have also been improved, and his eyesight is good.

He felt that it was okay for him to do this, and he was caring for Xu Miaojin as a little sister.

But in Xu Miaojin's view, there is another layer of meaning.

Brother Mu, how wonderful would it be if there wasn't that abominable Dian King Zhu Chu standing in the way between us?
When she thought of this, Xu Miaojin felt a little sad. She couldn't even eat the big fish and meat she usually liked. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Brother Mu, I've finished eating."

No, no, Zhu Chu was still picking fish bones. He was stunned when he heard this. This is less than half of what Xu Miaojin ate yesterday.

"Sister, let's not be in a hurry, you can eat more," Zhu Zhen was afraid that she would be hungry.

Xu Miaojin just smiled and shook her head, and suddenly remembered what her eldest sister had said before she got married. When one day she meets the person she wants to marry, she will understand the pain of lovesickness and will no longer be heartless.

At that time, Xu Miaojin was still thinking, why was she so heartless?It's just that she can eat more, but she exercises so much every day and doesn't gain weight, so why is she so heartless?

But today, Xu Miaojin seemed to finally understand the meaning of the eldest sister's words.

Xu Miaojin couldn't help but secretly think, eldest sister, if you marry King Yan, maybe you can really get happiness, right?
But what about me, little sister?You want me to marry the King of Dian?In my wildest dreams, I would rather become a nun.

Brother Mu, if your little sister says she likes you, what should you do?You still have to go to Beijing to report on your work, and this girl will never cause you any trouble.

Xu Miaojin made up her mind that she would never tell Brother Mu her identity or cause him more trouble.

But at least during the period before entering Beijing, can I allow myself to be a little extravagant?

So for the first time since she was born, Xu Miaojin no longer paid attention to the delicious food in front of her. Instead, she was full of greed. All she could see was the 'Brother Mu' in front of her. She said softly: "Brother Mu, let's continue on our way. But your... I really like the story, is there anything else?"

Zhu Ming couldn't help but be a little dazed.

I have to say that Xu Miaojin is very beautiful. Although she is still very young, she has already begun to show signs of her peerless beauty.

Moreover, her voice, which was already clear and moving, was now so gentle and watery, as if it could melt a piece of steel.

If it weren't for Zhu Chu already having a wife, Mu Qiu, he might have fallen as well.

As for Xu Miaojin, she said she was engaged.

Just kidding, Zhu Zhen is the son of Emperor Hongwu. Who has a higher status than himself?Isn’t it easy to get married?
Not to mention that Xu Miaojin didn't reveal her identity, even if she had revealed that she was the daughter of Wei Guogong Xu Da, Zhu Ming didn't care.

Your father is my father's good brother. I asked my father to propose to your father. How dare your father refuse?

However, when Zhu Chu thought of Mu Qiu's equally perfect appearance, especially the already 'deep-rooted' relationship between the two, it was really deep.

It can be said that you know your roots and your roots.

So Zhu Chu had no thoughts and said with a smile: "Okay, as long as you don't get tired of hearing it. Why don't I tell you about the third young master's sword."

That is Gu Long's martial arts novel, and it can be regarded as one of his masterpieces.

Although it is not as famous as Xiao Li Feidao and Li Xunhuan, it is not as famous as Lu Xiaofeng.

But classic characters such as Yan Shisan have been sung for many years.

Although in the book The Sword of the Third Young Master, Xie Xiaofeng is the protagonist.

But Zhu Ming liked Yan Shisan more, especially because Yan Shisan could have used Move No. 15 to kill Xie Xiaofeng, but in the end he didn't.

When he first read this paragraph, Zhu Ming was only puzzled and confused, but later he was deeply impressed and liked the character Yan Shisan even more.

So after the team set off again, Zhu Zhen chose this book by Mr. Gu Long to tell Xu Miaojin about the so-called grievances and grievances in the world and the love between children.

"If there is a Xie Xiaofeng and a Yan Shisan in this world, they will definitely meet each other. And when they meet, one of them will definitely die under the other's sword."

"In that battle, although Yan Shisan died, Xie Xiaofeng was defeated."

When Xu Miaojin finished listening to this story, she couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Zhen was also sighing. If the two did not meet as rivals, maybe they could become friends, right?

Because they are both opponents and confidants.

"But I care more about Murong Qiudi's ending," Xu Miaojin mentioned the name of a female character.

Murong Qiudi is Xie Xiaofeng's woman, but the two are not married or together for some reason.

But Murong Qiudi not only gave birth to a son for Xie Xiaofeng, but also single-handedly facilitated the decisive battle between Xie Xiaofeng and Yan Shisan.

She hates Xie Xiaofeng, but she also loves Xie Xiaofeng.

Xu Miaojin leaned on Zhu Chu's chest and thought intoxicatedly, if it were me, if the protagonist was Brother Mu, I would also be willing to give him a child.

But she smiled miserably and shook her head, because she knew that once she did that, what awaited her brother Mu would be disaster, or even the entire family being executed.

She could escape this unwanted engagement by becoming a nun.

But if she had done something to disgrace the royal family in another way, she might have been able to escape the disaster by relying on her father Wei Guogong Xu Da's face, but that would have been the end for Brother Mu.

Xu Miaojin slowly closed her eyes. In fact, sometimes, she might not be as good as those children in the world.

"Your Majesty, Young Master, we are already going to Taiping Mansion (today's Ma'an and Wuhu areas)," Jiang Wei suddenly came near Zhu Chu and reported.

Not far ahead, Zhu and the others had just crossed the Yangtze River and came to this side.

Because today's Yingtian City is not built on both sides of the Yangtze River like Nanjing in later generations.

The current capital of Yingtian City is only on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

So they had to cross the Yangtze River first, and then walk more than 100 miles to Yingtian.

Yes, after several days of traveling, on the last day of July, maybe tonight, Zhu Zhen and the others will be able to enter Yingtian City.

And once we arrive at Yingtian City, what will be the situation waiting for Zhu Zhen?

Three years later, what will be your attitude when you see Lao Zhu again?
Zhu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly. He couldn't tell if he was more worried, or he had some expectation or even excitement. He said, "Then what are you waiting for? Speed ​​up your pace and try to enter the city before tonight."

"Here."

The soldiers behind him responded one after another.

Zhu Ming took the lead, wrapping his left hand around Xu Miaojin's waist, holding her tightly in his arms to prevent her from falling, and gently lifted the reins with his right hand: "Drive."

The beloved horse under the seat suddenly neighed and rushed out like the wind.

"Sister," Zhu Zhen lowered his head and leaned close to Xu Miaojin's ear, promising her: "Don't worry, if someone embarrasses you and asks you to marry someone you don't like, then you can come to my brother and I will help you. Done."

Xu Miaojin shivered, her ears started to turn red, and her whole body felt warm.

But she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "It's okay, Brother Mu, I'm okay."

Xu Miaojin knew very well that what she had to face was that she was the wife of the current Emperor, the Hongwu Emperor. How could she escape her fate?
It was her father Wei Guogong. To put it nicely, he was the Duke of the state. But as the most important figure in the founding of the country, Li Shanchang was not the end result of being executed by his entire family?
There was nothing she could do, and she was unable to fight against fate. She could only accept her fate.

So of course she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't bear to let Brother Mu take his life because of it.

But Zhu Min didn't think so. He was fully prepared for his visit to Beijing this time, and he wasn't even afraid of his father, let alone breaking off the engagement for this girl?

As a result, the two of them never had a chance to identify themselves to each other.

If anything, only Jiang Wei knew the inside story, and looked at the two people who were riding together and hugging each other inappropriately with a complicated expression.
