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

Chapter 171 Zhu Di: It’s him, the senior brother! Who dares to provoke
Dusk, Qinhuai River courtyard.

Fourth Master Zhu is going to stay here for a few days because Zhao Xuanzhen is angry. Her mouth was numb last night and she won't let him touch her now. Fourth Master Zhu was not used to it and came straight back here.

As soon as he came back and sat down, the door was kicked open. Zhu Yuanzhang came in in high spirits carrying a food box and wine: "Fourth Master, please drink two cups."

"What's the matter? You're so happy." Fourth Master Zhu asked.

"Have you heard?" Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly while taking the dishes, "Today the Japanese envoys paid a visit to Your Majesty. One of the envoys was so arrogant that His Majesty punched his head into the chest."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Master Zhu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully: "Blow it! Does Zhu Chongba have such ability?"

"..." Zhu Yuanzhang was choked for a moment, hesitated to speak, and finally changed the topic, "It is said that the king of Japan, named Prince Huailiang, was rude to the Ming Dynasty and issued a provocative letter of credence."

"Prince Huai Liang is a piece of shit, the king of Japan! Are all the people in the imperial court just doing nothing? Now Japan is in the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, and there are two emperors." Fourth Master Zhu was speechless.

"Ah? Prince Huai Liang is not their king. We thought he was the same as the King of Korea." Zhu Yuanzhang was confused.

Fourth Master Zhu recalled what he had read about the Southern and Northern Dynasties period in Japan in his previous life, and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the current situation in Japan.

Today's Japan has two emperors in one day, the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Northern Dynasty, Emperor Komei was supported by the general Ashikaga Takauji. The original Emperor Go-Daigo violated the interests of the samurai group because of his new policy, so Ashikaga Takauji launched a mutiny and forced Emperor Go-Daigo to abdicate. Emperor Go-Daigo escaped from Kyoto with the three artifacts, went to Yoshino in Yamato, and established the Southern Dynasty.

Zhu Di raised his forehead.

"Do you know who I am?" Zhu Di scolded, "Go away! Young Master, I am not as knowledgeable as a girl today."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Zhu Di like a ghost, so fast that only a series of afterimages were left behind. Zhu Di showed no fear, clenched his fists and stared at the approaching figure.

Whose girl is this? Don’t you know who I am? Dare you stop me?

A woman in a pink skirt blocked them. She had a delicate face and a pair of bright big eyes. She had her hands on her hips, and she was arrogant. She said in a commanding tone: "Child, get down!"

Not only was she not afraid, but she showed a strange smile. She didn't know when a strange scimitar appeared in her hand, and the blade shone with a cold light. She chuckled lightly, with murderous intent in her tone: "Sister, I haven't killed anyone yet today, let's start with you."

He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang should not have that ambition, and just wanted to sort out Daming's own affairs, and then rest and recuperate. Reading "History of the Ming Dynasty" in a previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang listed Japan as an unconquerable country.

"There are a group of people in Japan who are in trouble right now." Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of wine and said, "If I were Zhu Yuanzhang, I would take the opportunity to capture them."

The woman in pink skirt blinked and appeared in front of him. She drew a graceful arc with a scimitar and was about to stab Zhu Di.

……

This time Zhu Di went out on the street in a sedan, which was the domineering open-top sedan that Fourth Master Zhu sat in last time. He sat on it with his legs crossed and chewed a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

"This Prince Huai Liang is just a prince from the Southern Dynasty." Fourth Master Zhu explained.

"Really?" The girl in the pink skirt smiled brightly and charmingly.

Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of wine.

Qinhuaihe Street.

In fact, he is not used to riding in a sedan chair. This time he went to pick up Xu Miaoyun. Recently, Xu Miaoyun ignored him. He wanted to use this sedan chair to make Xu Miaoyun prestige and prestige. Don’t you say that girls all like to ride in sedan chairs?
"Giggle, giggle~" came the silver bell-like laughter, "Kid, your sedan is pretty good, why don't you give me a seat for my sister?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment.

Seven or eight brothers from the Zhatian Gang were carrying the sedan chair, walking as if they were relatives. Ah Fu walked at the front and shouted: "The leader of the Zhaotian Gang has arrived, everyone spread out."

"So that's it!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized, "It's been a long time since a prince has been dealing with our Ming Dynasty. How can he be so arrogant?"

"Don't say goodbye! We, the Ming Dynasty, haven't settled the matter internally yet. Bei Yuan is dominating the north and is eyeing the enemy." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, "Yunnan has not been taken yet, and the northwest is not stable either."

Swish!
A figure suddenly flashed in front of Zhu Di. The man easily held the scimitar of the woman in pink skirt with two fingers, as if the blade could not hurt him at all. Then, he flicked his fingers

clang!
A powerful force was instantly transmitted along the scimitar to the woman in pink skirt. The face of the woman in pink skirt changed drastically. She felt an irresistible force coming, and her whole body flew backwards as if she had been hit hard. After landing, she stepped back three feet before barely steadying herself. But the man stood still, not even flipping the corner of his clothes.

……

The middle-aged man was wearing a simple linen Taoist robe, but he carried a long sword on his back. His simple and vigorous temperament naturally exuded from him.

"Who are you? I want you to mind your own business!" the woman in pink skirt and Zhu Di said in unison.

The man smiled slightly and looked calmly at Weinger: "I am Zhang Xuansu. Girl, you are so murderous that you actually killed a child in broad daylight."

"This girl, Huner, will come find you again." The woman in pink skirt smiled coquettishly.

Zhang Xuansu frowned coldly. This girl looks coquettish and charming, extremely beautiful, but she is extremely vicious. Where did she come from?
"Zhang Xuansu? I haven't heard of this girl." Wen'er smiled sweetly, "You have good cultivation and are a good opponent."

"Where did the girl come from?" Zhang Xuansu asked.

"Then you are chasing me?" Huner flew away.

Zhang Xuansu looked at the retreating figure, thinking in his mind which sect had such ghostly Qinggong.

Zhu Di walked up to him, raised his head and glared: "Hey! You haven't answered my question yet! You scared her away and ruined my good deeds!"

Zhang Xuansu came back to his senses, looked at the aggressive child in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "Child, if I hadn't come to save you just now, you might have died at her hands."

"Who saved you?" Zhu Di's eyes widened and he looked dissatisfied, "Do you know who I am? I'm the leader of the Zhatian Gang!"

Zhang Xuansu was stunned when he heard this, and then looked Zhu Di up and down, with a smile flashing in his eyes: "Oh? So you are the third junior brother mentioned in the master's letter. Nice to meet you."

Zhu Di: "???"

"Are you the eldest...eldest brother?" he exclaimed.

"Exactly!" Zhang Xuansu nodded and smiled, "Let's go, take me to see the master."

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, it's really you." Zhu Di looked up and down with excitement in his eyes, "No wonder, you easily caught the demon girl's knife just now. It was difficult for me to dodge that knife just now. When did the capital have more people?" Such a strong girl."

Snapped!
Zhang Xuansu slapped him on the back of the head: "Don't call yourself young master in front of senior brother."

Zhu Di touched the back of his head and frowned speechlessly: "You also like to hit people on the back of the head?"

"Because I was always beaten by the master before." Zhang Xuansu laughed.

"Elder brother, I have something else to do!" Zhu Di said, patting his head, "You go directly to Xuanwu Academy and wait for the master there."

He remembered that he had to pick up Xu Miaoyun. In comparison, this junior sister was more important than his senior brother.

"Okay!" Zhang Xuansu waved his hand.

……

Zhang Xuansu watched Zhu Di's retreating figure, thoughtfully in his heart. Then, he slowly turned around and walked in the direction of Zhongshan alone, instead of going to the academy.

Climbing to the top of Zhongshan Mountain, he looked far into the distance, and finally fixed his gaze on the northwest. The skyline there seemed to evoke endless thoughts in his heart, his face gradually became sad, and his eyes became slightly moist. He sighed deeply: "Prime Minister, nearly a hundred years have passed, and everything in the world is mostly as you expected. However, there are always some deviations that are unexpected. Don't worry, I will do my best to correct these deviations."

He just stood quietly on the top of the mountain, letting the mountain wind blow over his cheeks and blow his clothes. An hour later, he slowly went down the mountain.

As night fell, Zhang Xuansu came to Xuanwu Academy. He saw that there was still a weak candlelight in the school, and he felt a sense of warmth in his heart. At this time, Zhu Di hurried out of the school. As soon as he saw him, an anxious look appeared on his face: "Senior Brother, where have you been? I have had a hard time waiting for you."

Yao Guangxiao, Zheng Shiyuan, Chu Xiangyu and others also heard the sound and walked out of the school. They were all surprised when they saw Zhu Di calling the Taoist priest in front of them "elder brother". Is this the mysterious disciple of Fourth Master Zhu? Turns out to be a Taoist priest!
"Sir, let me introduce you." Zhu Di introduced them enthusiastically.

Yao Guangxiao, Zheng Shiyuan, Chu Xiangyu and others saluted Zhang Xuansu: "Meet Mr. Da."

Zhang Xuansu was about to return the gift, but was grabbed by Zhu Di and hurriedly walked outside the academy. As he walked, Zhu Di said: "Senior brother, come with me to see the master. The master and his wife had a quarrel, and they are not in the back of the academy now."

Zhang Xuansu was shocked when he heard this: "Master? Master, he...is he still married?"

"Oh, that old and crooked one." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "There is more than one woman! The master's wife is so beautiful, and she is also the eldest princess of Beiyuan. I really let the master, an old cow, eat the young grass, a flower Flowers are placed on cow dung.”

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Junior brother, it seems that you usually get beaten by the master, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhu Di's eyes widened curiously.

Zhang Xuansu smiled and shook his head, thinking: You have such a mouth, it’s weird that you can’t get beaten!

Soon after, the two came to the small courtyard by the Qinhuai River. Zhu Di kicked the door open and shouted: "Master, who do you think is coming?"

Fourth Master Zhu was sitting on the porch enjoying tea leisurely when he heard the sound and looked up. The moment he saw Zhang Xuansu, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Xuansu, you are finally here."

Zhang Xuansu stepped forward and saluted Fourth Master Zhu respectfully: "Meet the Master."

Fourth Master Zhu smiled and raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite: "Oh, I didn't teach you anything back then."

The three masters and apprentices sat down around the tea seat. Master Zhu asked some things about Zhang Xuansu after they said goodbye. Zhu Di listened obediently.
