Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 144 Mr. Bai, you are finally back

For this reason, Ma He was even asked to lead a fleet to the Western Ocean many times to find the whereabouts of Bai Chu.

I thought I might never see Bai Chu again in this life, but I didn't expect that we could still see each other now. Zhu Di lost control of his emotions slightly.

Zhu Di couldn't help but speed up his pace a lot. Even though he was nearly fifty years old, Zhu Di still walked briskly. He came to Bai Chu's side in a few steps and said excitedly:

"Mr. Bai, long time no see, I really miss me!!"

Seeing that there was no change in Bai Chu's face, it seemed that time had no effect on this young man, which made Zhu Di extremely envious.

Compared with Zhu Di's excitement, Bai Chu seemed much calmer.

Although on the way Bai Chu had already calculated that ten years had passed during his cultivation.

But Bai Chu also knows that this may be the norm for himself in the future. It takes no time to cultivate immortality, but in the blink of an eye, it may be a hundred years.

However, Bai Chu was still very happy to see his old friend again. He put a smile on his face and said softly:

"I also miss the emperor very much."

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Is the Emperor well?"

"It's okay, hahaha, it's okay!!"

Zhu Di stepped forward and took Bai Chu's arm and said:

"Mr. Bai, you've been gone for ten years without leaving any news, but I still have a bunch of old friends, so I'm worried."

"The old monk never saw Mr. Bai for the last time until his death. This became his last feeling before his death."

"Mr. Bai won't leave again this time, right?"

When Bai Chu heard that the old monk was dead, he immediately sighed secretly in his heart. Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions of life.

Just thinking about the days when he fought side by side with the old monk, Bai Chu still felt a sense of sadness. Maybe separation between life and death would become the norm in his life.

"Perhaps I won't leave in such a hurry this time. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Zhu Di felt slightly relieved when he heard that Bai Chu would not leave without saying goodbye like last time.

Over the years, although Zhu Di has long developed an emperor and a domineering personality, having a person with such powerful powers like Bai Chu by his side makes Zhu Di feel more at ease.

Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi behind him also stepped forward to salute Bai Chu. They had not seen each other for ten years and were naturally very happy to meet old friends.

Zhu Di was about to hold a grand banquet in the palace to welcome Bai Chu, but Bai Chu refused. "Your Majesty, I am here to discuss important matters."

"It's a trivial matter to catch the wind and wash away the dust. It's better not to waste time on it."

Zhu Di was shocked. He seemed to remember Bai Chu's ability as a prophet, and hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Bai, if you have anything important to do, tell me quickly."

"A few days ago, I was practicing Taoism in the East China Sea, but I felt that the luck of the Ming Dynasty fluctuated abnormally, so I made a divination here."

Bai Chuyi told the story of the past few days in detail, and then said:

"I calculated that there would be a disaster in the north of the Ming Dynasty, so I returned to the Ming Dynasty specifically to help Tianming resolve this disaster."

Bai Chu's words reminded Zhu Di of Qiu Fu in the north, because he had been restless these past few days.

The appointment of Qiu Fu for the Northern Expedition always made Zhu Di feel uneasy, so when Bai Chu said this, Zhu immediately connected the two things. "Mr. Bai, are you talking about the Northern Expedition to the Grasslands?"

Bai Chu nodded slightly, and then said:

"I'm afraid there will be some surprises during this Northern Expedition."

"Please, Your Majesty, come north with me quickly and hurry up. Maybe there is still room for redemption."

Just as Bai Chu finished speaking, Jie Jin, who was behind Zhu Di, jumped out and objected:

"No, how can the emperor, who has a body worth thousands of gold, go into dangerous places personally?"

"Besides, all the affairs in the world are still waiting for the emperor to deal with. If the emperor leaves the capital, what will happen to the government affairs in the world?"

Bai Chu did not speak, but just looked at Zhu Di. If Zhu Di really lost his ambition to fight on the battlefield, then it would not be impossible for him to handle this matter himself.

But even though Zhu Di had been the emperor for ten years, the passion in his heart never cooled down. He did not let Bai Chu down. He turned to scold Jie Jin and said:

"You must not be rude to Mr. Bai. If you dare to do it again, I will never give you mercy."

In one sentence, Bai Chu's identity was directly elevated to an incomparable level.

As a member of the cabinet, Xie Jin was allowed to give advice to the emperor or even refute Zhu Di.

But in front of Bai Chu, Zhu Di directly did not allow anyone to question Bai Chu, otherwise he would be severely punished. This was Zhu Di's attitude towards Bai Chu.

Jie Jin was stunned for a moment when he was scolded, but after seeing Zhu Di's sharp eyes, he quickly bowed down to show his acceptance.

Zhu Di then turned to look at Bai Chu and said, "Everything is as Mr. Bai said."

"From now on, the prince will be responsible for supervising the country and handling the government affairs. I will accompany Mr. Bai on the northern expedition to Oara."

"Immediately send an order to Qiu Fu, telling him not to leave the fortress after arriving in Datong. He will not be allowed to go to war until I arrive. Zhu Di did not hesitate at all. Under his training, and with the help of cabinet members, Zhu Gaochi took on the task of founding the country. Da Ren, no problem.

And his subsequent decree not only told Qiu Fu to stand still, but also planned to personally lead the expedition, so vigorous and resolute that the ministers behind him were stunned.

Now Qiu Fu has been on the expedition for more than a month. According to his journey, he should have arrived in Shanxi.

Is it too late to issue an imperial edict now?

Moreover, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di actually planned to go on a personal expedition without making any preparation because of Bai Chu's words. Isn't this too childish?

However, Zhu Di did not feel like a child's play at all. After issuing the imperial edict, Zhu Di changed into regular clothes, and then followed directly with the guard camp and the three thousand battalions of the Beijing camp.

Bai Chu rode out of the palace and headed straight to the north.

Zhu Gaochi, Yang Jiejin and others looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to describe their complicated mood now.

The atmosphere in the cabinet was very strange. Zhu Gaochi, who was responsible for supervising the country, immediately opened his mouth to calm the atmosphere and said:

"Although my father is not here, as long as you are here, nothing will go wrong in Ming Dynasty."

"I hope that in these days, you will be able to concentrate on political affairs, check for the shortcomings, and never make any mistakes, and continue to work for the welfare of the people of the Ming Dynasty." Everyone bowed in response, but Xie Jin still had some lingering fears and asked:

"May I ask, Prince, who is this Mr. Bai? How come we have never heard of him?"

After Xie Jin finished speaking, Yang Rong, Jian Yi and others in Yangpu were also looking forward to it, hoping to know more about this man who appeared out of thin air and received the favor of God alone.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his eyes also showed memories, and then he said softly:

"Mr. Bai is an extremely powerful person. His identity is also extremely mysterious, and I don't know it yet."

"But there is one thing that is recognized by my father and Master Yao, and that is Mr. Bai's talent, which is astonishing."
