Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 158 The legend of Zhu Yuanzhang burying his father! Fourth Master is suspicious
The next day, the convoy continued to set off.

Zhu Biao invited Mr. Zhu to get on his carriage and sent two girls to accompany Zhao Xuanzhen. Fourth Master Zhu was definitely not happy, so he winked at Zhao Xuanzhen.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuanzhen bowed slightly towards Zhu Biao gracefully: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I can no longer stand this bad old man."

Zhu Biao heard this and responded politely: "Your Highness, Princess, if you need anything, just say it."

He felt strange in his heart.

Zhao Xuanzhen is the eldest princess of Beiyuan, and she has that kind of relationship with Fourth Master Zhu. Should she be called grandma in the future?

"Fourth Master, please get in the car. I happened to ask you about river management along the way." Zhu Biao smiled.

"Your Highness, you really know how to choose your time." Fourth Master Zhu was speechless.

So, he got into the prince's car. The journey was not boring at all. Zhu Biao was gentle and humble, and he asked for advice humbly. He brags all the way and exports some concepts and cognitions from his previous life crazily.

Sometimes Zhu Biao couldn't believe it, and sometimes he was amazed.

It was a tiring journey all the way, and it was night again, so everyone was tired.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly.

……

Fourth Master Zhu opened the curtains and looked out. Fengyang City is bustling at night, with the night market crowded with people and bright lights.

"Yes, these are the face of my Ming Dynasty. The villages I saw along the way are the face of my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao frowned tightly, "The family is well-off and the people are well-off. I don't know what. It will only come true when the time comes.”

"Hey, these are just appearances." Zhu Biao sighed lightly, "Fengyang is the place where my Zhu family thrives, so we can't be too shabby. So before my father ascended the throne, he moved in more than 10,000 wealthy households from the south of the Yangtze River. That’s how Fengyang is today.”

Half an hour later, Fourth Master Zhu walked out of the screen with Zhao Xuanzhen in his arms, placed her gently on the soft couch, and the two fell asleep hugging each other.

The originally tired Fourth Master Zhu suddenly became energetic when he saw the delicate body with ice muscles and jade bones. He jumped up suddenly, took off his clothes and ran over.

"It turns out to be a face-saving project." Fourth Master Zhu nodded.

"The emperor guards the country?" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up.

He has a good impression of Zhu Biao. He is a prince who devotes himself to the people. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a good emperor. It's a pity that he will die young.

Zhao Xuanzhen immediately asked the maid to prepare hot water. When she learned that the room was equipped with a bathtub, she nodded with satisfaction. After a while, steam filled the room, and the large tub was filled with hot bath water.

At this time, the motorcade stopped in front of a newly built palace, which was where the prince stayed in Fengyang.

That evening, the Prince's motorcade finally arrived at Fengyang City.

"My father was never satisfied with Yingtian City. It was too far away from the border and the Central Plains, so he wanted to move the capital." Zhu Biao sighed, "He wanted to make Fengyang the capital of the country."

Not long after, a violent splash of water came from behind the screen.

Fourth Master Zhu had a hurried dinner and returned to the room with Zhao Xuanzhen. He was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, but was stopped by Zhao Xuanzhen's beautiful eyes: "You are so smelly and sweaty, how can you sleep peacefully without taking a shower first?"

"That's understandable. The location of Fengyang is also acceptable." Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "But the most suitable location for making the capital is Peiping. It is located on the border, and the emperor guards the country."

She poked her head out from behind the screen and said coquettishly to Mr. Zhu who was sitting beside the bed: "You damn ghost, why are you still standing there? You can't get into my bed until you take a shower."

"Fengyang is nice. It's not as deserted as an ordinary small county town." He smiled.

After the maids retired, Zhao Xuanzhen rolled her long hair elegantly on her head and tied it lightly with a delicate hosta. She undressed and took off her belt, and her long skirt, lingerie and other clothing gently slid to the ground.

Already tired, and having spent a lot of energy just now, Fourth Master Zhu quickly fell asleep and fell into a particularly deep sleep. However, Zhao Xuanzhen slowly opened her eyes at this moment.

She gently propped herself up, and her black hair fell down to her shoulders like a waterfall. She stared at Fourth Master Zhu's angular face, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. Her slender hand gently touched Master Zhu's forehead. She frowned slightly and thought, "Master, will your secret technique be useful? Can it change his memory?"

A faint halo of light lingered around her palms, as if a mysterious power slowly flowed into Fourth Master Zhu's mind.

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed softly, temporarily put down the worries in her heart, hugged Fourth Master Zhu tightly, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

……

I don't know how long it took, but the sleeping Fourth Master Zhu fell into a dream.

In the dream, a golden dragon with dazzling light was chasing him. He was so frightened that he ran away, but the dragon always followed him, making a deafening roar.

"what!"

Fourth Master Zhu suddenly woke up from his dream. He sat up suddenly and gasped for air.

Zhao Xuanzhen was also awakened by him, patted his back gently, and asked softly: "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Well, a giant dragon was chasing me in the dream!" Fourth Master Zhu said.

"A giant dragon?" Zhao Xuanzhen frowned tightly, "A dragon is chasing you? This... is too unbelievable."

"Yes, this dream is too weird." Fourth Master Zhu said calmly.

"It's just a dream." Zhao Xuanzhen smiled and comforted, "The dragon represents the emperor. You can't say that your majesty wants to kill you, right?" Fourth Master Zhu was shocked.

In his previous life, he definitely didn't believe in dream interpretation. But after traveling through time, he had a book of destiny in his mind. Some of the masters of the Ming Dynasty also understood those metaphysics, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

"Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill me?" Fourth Master Zhu shook his head, "I have nothing to do with him."

"Yes, you also helped him. The Queen and His Royal Highness both respect you." Zhao Xuanzhen continued to comfort, "So, don't worry, it's just a dream."

The more she said this, the more suspicious Mr. Zhu became.

When I came to Fengyang, I had this weird dream. This was the place where the Zhu family thrived. The dragon in the dream represents the Zhu family? Is this a warning to me?
"Master, go to sleep." Zhao Xuanzhen hugged him and lay down.

She hugged Fourth Master Zhu gently, and Fourth Master Zhu leaned in her arms, smelling the fragrance of her body, and tiredness gradually came over him.

……

The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains and dappled the bed.

After Fourth Master Zhu woke up, he was full of energy and wanted to practice some exercise.

However, Zhao Xuanzhen was still immersed in dreamland. She lay lazily on the bed, no matter how softly Mr. Zhu called and pulled gently, she just didn't want to wake up, and just murmured in a daze that she wanted to continue sleeping.

Fourth Master Zhu had no choice but to get up and train himself.

After finishing the exercise, it was already bright. When he saw Zhao Xuanzhen sleeping soundly again, he smiled helplessly and went out by himself, just in time to go to Fengyang City for a walk.

Walking among the bustling streets and alleys, Fourth Master Zhu felt the unique charm and human fireworks of Fengyang City. He randomly found a street stall to sit down and ordered a bowl of steaming noodles.

There were several customers sitting at the stall, eating and chatting.

"Do you know? The emperor buried his father back then. Because there was no coffin, he wrapped his father's body in reed mats. He and his second brother found a pole to carry his father's body up the mountain. The two brothers climbed all the way. , the pole suddenly broke. The emperor's second brother decided to go home to get it, leaving the emperor alone to look at his father's body. Who knows, suddenly..."

"What happened all of a sudden?"

"There were strong winds and heavy rains. The emperor, who was still young at that time, cried and asked God why he was tortured so much. At that moment, the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed and his father's body fell in. Strange things happened The storm stopped immediately. When the emperor saw this, he buried his father on the spot."

"This is a sky burial! No wonder he later became emperor."

"Hey, didn't it say that the place where the Emperor buried his father was given by Zhu Liujiu?"

"It's Zhu Liujiu's land, but it's shifted a little distance from its original location."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned and joined the group of people.

After a few casual words, everyone seemed to be familiar with each other, and Fourth Master Zhu asked: "Have you ever heard that someone in Fengyang was stealing corpses in those days?"

One of the men replied: "Of course there are, there are quite a lot of them! Do you know who stole them?"

Fourth Master Zhu asked: "Who?"

The man spread his hands and said: "The Yuan army, they often do such immoral things! They dig up the corpses of ordinary people and pretend to be rebels to collect rewards."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

He thought of the weird dream he had last time, in which he was dug out of a grave. Could it be that he was being taken away to receive a reward?

……

After finishing his meal, Fourth Master Zhu planned to continue gossiping with them, but the moment he raised his eyes, he saw three familiar figures on the corner of the street. He was shocked. Aren't those Wu Yu, Zhebie and Poison King? Are they chasing Fengyang?

He quickly stood up and followed the three of them. As expected, the three people arrived in front of the palace where the prince was staying, but they just observed for a while and did not take any action.

Then, the three of them turned and left.

Fourth Master Zhu continued to follow from a distance. There were many people on the street, and innocent people would be hurt if he took action. What's more, the other party has a poison king. If he uses poison without hesitation, he doesn't know how many people will die.

He followed the three of them and saw them entering an inn called Yuelai. Instead of following him, he returned to the palace and found Prince Zhu Biao to report the matter.

"They are chasing after him." Zhu Biao snorted coldly.

"Your Highness, we can't let them go! That Poison King is the murderer who killed General Chang Yuchun." Fourth Master Zhu said solemnly.

"What?" Zhu Biao was shocked.

Fourth Master Zhu then told what Wu Yu himself admitted that night, that it was the Poison King and Chi Laowen who jointly assassinated Chang Yuchun, but he didn't know the specific method of the assassination.

Li Laoleng, who was in purple clothes on the side, said: "It is probably similar to the situation we encountered at the inn last time. We were prepared last time. If General Chang Yuchun was not prepared, wouldn't the entire military camp be poisoned and pass out? "

Zhu Biao's eyes were blazing with anger: "I must avenge Uncle Chang!"

Fourth Master Zhu glanced at the masters behind him and said in a deep voice: "Now that we know they are at the Yuelai Inn, let's make a plan and assassinate them!"

Zhu Biao's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Okay! Fourth Master, I will listen to your arrangements. My people will be mobilized as you wish."
