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

Chapter 260 Fourth Master Zhu meets the son of the grassland: Don’t you recognize me?

Songting Pass to the north, the border.

The cold wind of early winter was raging in this northern land. Zhu Siye and Zhu Di rode their horses and whips, pointing directly at the grassland against the biting cold wind. Zhu Di exhaled a hot breath and asked doubtfully: "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, Madam Master? Is it a trap to choose to meet you at the border?"

"With our current strength, why should we be afraid of any traps?" Fourth Master Zhu snorted contemptuously, "In the face of absolute power, everything is just a cloud."

"Speaking of which, the master's wife would not set up a trap for no reason." Zhu Di analyzed with a smile.

Two fast horses rode like wind and lightning, facing the afterglow of the setting sun in the desert. After galloping all night, they arrived at a camp on the grassland at dawn. I saw that several tents had been set up, and the campfires were burning brightly, lighting up this quiet dawn. Beiyuan soldiers were patrolling around, and when they saw the two arriving, the soldiers immediately surrounded them.

"Let them in!" A woman's voice came clearly.

"As you command, High Priest." The soldiers responded in unison and quickly moved out of the way.

Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were firmly fixed on the woman known as the high priest. She holds a staff, has a beautiful face, her eyes are as cold as ice, her facial features are delicate and picturesque, her silver hair is like snow, and she exudes a mysterious aura.

He knew in his heart that this was the high priest from the Golden Horde. Before leaving, Zhu Chongjiu had specifically warned that the high priest's cultivation was unfathomable and very different from the Central Plains martial arts, so he must be treated with caution.

Fourth Master Zhu hugged her slender waist tightly and buried his head deeply in her white neck: "I almost died last time, how dare I come to see you so easily."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Xuanzhen snorted disdainfully.

Fourth Master Zhu shrugged nonchalantly and walked into the tent. Looking up, he saw Zhao Xuanzhen lying on her side on a soft cushion, her long skirt swaying lightly, outlining her graceful figure. Her fair and slender neck, skin as crystal clear as jade, and green hair like a waterfall, scattered on her fair and jade-like shoulders, so beautiful that she is breathtakingly beautiful.

"I won this with my own efforts." Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes flashed with determination, "Only I can make Dayuan great again."

"Yes!" Zhu Di rolled his eyes and said jokingly, "The next scene is not suitable for children."

After that, he exited the tent. Fourth Master Zhu pounced on Zhao Xuanzhen like a tiger. After several years of separation, this woman became more mature and charming. Facing Mr. Zhu's warm embrace, Zhao Xuanzhen not only did not avoid it, but instead took the initiative to open her arms. The two hugged each other tightly, and Fourth Master Zhu kissed them eagerly. Like dry wood meeting a fierce fire, emotions broke out instantly and were beyond control.

"Zhu Di, please step aside first. I want to talk to your master's wife alone." Master Zhu ordered in a deep voice and waved for him to leave. "Wait outside the tent. No one is allowed to approach within two hours."

After another round of tossing, both of them were exhausted. Zhao Xuanzhen lay lazily in Master Zhu's arms and sighed faintly: "Do you know how I got here in the past three years?"

……

"Women, sometimes your ambitions don't have to be too lofty." Fourth Master Zhu warned with a smile, "It is virtue for a woman to have no talent, so why bother?"

At dusk, the golden afterglow filled the grassland.

"High Priest?" The corners of Mr. Zhu's lips curved into a smile, "You are very beautiful and have a very elegant temperament. Especially the silver hair, which is quite similar to me."

The high priest's eyes were as cold as ice, staring at Master Zhu coldly, "The eldest princess has been waiting in the tent for a long time."

"That's what I deserve." Fourth Master Zhu smiled proudly, "If you want me not to be angry, you have to serve me well."

……

Two hours later, Zhao Xuanzhen nestled in Master Zhu's arms like a withered flower. Her beautiful big eyes revealed a bit of sadness and grievance: "It's been more than three years, and you haven't come to see me. Just me and the kids.”

Zhao Xuanzhen hooked her jade-white wrist around Fourth Master Zhu's neck, with a flattering look in her eyes: "Are you still angry? Although we set a trap last time, you won in the end and you took away How lucky we are in Beiyuan."

"I don't know." Fourth Master Zhu gently stroked her jade back, "But I know that you are about to become the empress of Beiyuan."

Fourth Master Zhu and Zhao Xuanzhen walked out of the tent, leaning against each other. The bonfire was blazing outside, adding a bit more warmth to the warm evening. Not far away, Zhu Di was having fun with a little chubby boy. Although the child is not tall, he is agile and runs very fast. He is really a nimble little fat man.

As he spoke, he gently placed his big hand on her head and pressed her into the bed with a sharp push. Soon, the quilt began to rise and fall, and Fourth Master Zhu half-closed his eyes, enjoying this rare comfort.

"Alutai, come here." Zhao Xuanzhen called softly.

Fourth Master Zhu was stunned, Arutai? That little fat man is actually his son? He looked at the chubby little guy in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. When Little Fatty heard his mother's call, he ran over and called out sweetly: "Mom."

Zhao Xuanzhen hugged him lovingly and pointed to Fourth Master Zhu next to her, "This is you, Abu." Arutai widened his round eyes, looked at Fourth Master Zhu up and down, and suddenly snorted, "Little His mouth curled up: "I don't want Abu, Abu is a bad person, and Abu never comes to see us."

"Hey, you kid, how can you talk?" Fourth Master Zhu pretended to be angry and hugged him over, "I am your Abu, please remember it. It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that I really can't come. How about it, do you want to go to the Central Plains with me? It’s so fun there.”

"I won't go, I won't go, please let me go!" Arutai struggled violently in Fourth Master Zhu's arms, kicking and clawing with his little hands and feet.

Fourth Master Zhu had no choice but to let him go. At this time, Zhu Di, who was not far away, waved to Arutai: "Come on, Arutai, I will take you to have fun."

When Arutai heard this, he jumped happily and followed Zhu Di closely, with a look of anticipation on his face. Looking at this scene, Fourth Master Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He never expected that Arutai and Zhu Di would get along so quickly. But history records that Arutai later became Zhu Di's biggest rival in his middle age.

This fate is really unpredictable.

……

The bonfire was burning brightly, and the firelight shone on everyone's face, bringing a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere. Everyone sat around the fire, busy roasting meat, drinking from big bowls, eating meat with big mouthfuls, and laughing constantly.

Carrying a bowl full of wine, Zhu Di walked up to Zhao Xuanzhen and raised his glass to toast her: "Master Madam, you are still so beautiful and charming. Let me toast you."

Zhao Xuanzhen responded with a smile: "You have grown up, should I call you His Royal Highness King Yan now?"

"No, you should call me Zhu Di." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "I still miss the days in the back of the academy. At that time, you often pulled my ears and asked me to buy things for you to eat."

Zhao Xuanzhen raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you have other mistresses accompanying you when I was away?"

"Yes, there is the Second Master Niang, who is still like a child. There is also the Thirty Niang, who comes from the Miao border and is good at playing Gu..." Zhu Di began to talk endlessly.

Fourth Master Zhu coughed while listening and tried to interrupt him, but Zhu Di ignored him and continued his story. Zhao Xuanzhen glared at Fourth Master Zhu and sneered: "It seems that you lived a wonderful life while I was away."

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands in embarrassment: "You also know my damn charm! But I am passive every time."

Zhao Xuanzhen glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, "I called you here this time mainly because I wanted you to see your son, but you don't want to take him away."

"I know, I can't take him away either." Fourth Master Zhu sighed softly, "I am very satisfied just to be able to see him."

Zhao Xuanzhen said with a smile in her eyes: "One more thing, let's form an alliance. From now on, the two sides will live in peace and open up mutual trade."

"What are you talking about? An alliance? Your 500,000-strong army has gone south, and now you want to form an alliance with me?" Fourth Master Zhu sneered, expressing doubt.

Zhao Xuanzhen's face became serious and serious: "That's not what I want. Let me tell you, as long as the two of us stop the war, after I ascend the throne, the grassland will definitely abide by the covenant and no longer invade south."

Fourth Master Zhu was secretly surprised. It turns out that Zhao Xuanzhen really intends to become the empress. It seems that there is indeed chaos within Beiyuan. She wanted to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty, probably to solve internal problems. Once she takes the throne, the situation may take a new turn.

Forming an alliance and temporarily truce is also a good thing for Ming Dynasty, because the current Ming Dynasty really needs to recuperate. Moreover, he, the Supreme Emperor, also plans to carry out a series of reforms, which all require a peaceful and stable environment. When Ming Dynasty becomes stronger, anything will be possible. The Northern Yuan Dynasty needed time to stabilize its power, and the Ming Dynasty also needed time to develop and grow.

"You have to know that it is impossible for our three-party coalition to defeat us even if you, the Ming Dynasty, defeat us." Zhao Xuanzhen said.

"Come on, we are not interested in your useless place." Fourth Master Zhu smiled, "I need to communicate with the capital about the alliance."

"So it turns out that your Majesty's words don't count." Zhao Xuanzhen smiled half-heartedly.

Fourth Master Zhu laughed it off.

"Arutai, come on, drink with me." Zhu Di shouted.

"Okay!" Arutai broke free from Zhao Xuanzhen's arms and was about to pass. Zhao Xuanzhen grabbed him, pointed at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Alutai, he has to call you uncle, you know? You are his elder, don't listen to him, order him."

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then said: "Uncle, come, I will drink with you."

After hearing this, Arutai passed away in a hurry. Zhao Xuanzhen glared at Zhu Di angrily: "Don't teach my son a bad lesson, or I will beat you."
