Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 123 Set off! Being yin and yang by the 'subordinate'...

Hear the sound...

There was a moment of silence in the barracks. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look...

Fang Xiaoru's smile froze, and her neck felt a little chilly.

The corners of Zhu Di's lips rose slightly, pretending to be surprised, and pointed at Fang Xiaoru, "You are not the one that day..."

"Xiao Fang!" Fang Xiaoru said with a busy smile: "The last time I passed through Tuqiao Village, I received a meal from Mr. Zhu, but I haven't repaid him yet. His Highness the Crown Prince summoned the leaders of each village and invited Mr. Zhu to the camp."

Xiao Fang?

The corners of Zhu Di's lips twitched fiercely, "Okay."

"Zhou Lang and Uncle Eight will leave this to you."

After giving instructions, he followed Fang Xiaoru out.

Fang Xiaoru deliberately slowed down and waited for Zhu Di to catch up. Regardless of whether there was anyone around, he bowed solemnly and said, "Xizhi's previous behavior was unethical. Mr. Zhu has a broad mind. Please give Xi Zhi a chance to change his ways."

"Let's forget about the past." When Zhu Di saw many people looking here, he immediately supported Fang Xiaoru.

call!

really!

A prince who doesn't even care about his title has an admirable mind!

Fang Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said with admiration: "Mr. Zhu has a broad mind, I hope I can follow Mr. Zhu's example..."

"I keep a notebook." Zhu Di interrupted Fang Xiaoru's flattery with a smile, "You know me, and I know myself better."

"My heart is too big to remember anything."

"So, in order to avoid forgetting, I wrote it down in a small notebook."

"Congratulations to you for becoming the first outsider recorded in my notebook."

After saying that, he smiled and walked straight to the barracks not far away.

There are soldiers guarding it, so it must be the eldest brother inside.

'Congratulations to me? Should I feel honored? ’

Fang Xiaoru stared blankly at Zhu Di's back as he entered the barracks.

…

After regaining consciousness for a while, he hurriedly followed in...

Relatives Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Chang, and Li Wenzhong were chatting lively as you said.

When Zhu Biao saw Fang Xiaoru coming in, he waved.

When Fang Xiaoru came over, he smiled and explained to Zhu Di: "Xizhi has always been curious about you. Not long ago, he asked for leave from me and went to Tuqiao Village."

"After eating your food, I still behave like an ungentleman. I secretly observed you and Miaoyun and even deceived you."

…

"Give me some face, don't take it personally.|!¤*'~``~'*¤!||!¤*'~``~'*¤!|"

"How about you shake hands, even if we don't know each other without fighting?"

Zhu Di glanced at Fang Xiaoru with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Brother, I didn't keep it in mind."

‘But you keep a small notebook! You said it yourself! ’

Fang Xiaoru's lips twitched fiercely, she forced a smile and shook hands with Zhu Di.

"good!"

When Zhu Biao saw this scene, he smiled happily, pulled Zhu Di and said solemnly: "Fourth brother, don't blame your father for not being considerate of Miaoyun's pregnancy. At this time, he asked you to go outside the customs and torment you."

"Father doesn't know about Miaoyun's pregnancy yet."

…

Zhu Di stayed for about a stick of incense and left.

After all, Zhu Biao had to summon representatives from other villages.

Time was tight, and secondly, Zhu Di stayed too long, which could easily arouse suspicion.

There are two meals at noon and evening on this day.

Everyone in the camp, including the soldiers at the guard station who were transferred to the north for defense, were somewhat exhausted.

night.

In the barracks, everyone lay down to rest.

beep!

"Who farted!"

beep!

beep!

…

After one sound fell, a series of sounds sounded.

"Uncle Eighth, this is the first time I can eat such delicious food. I'm a little full."

Ha ha……

I don't know who replied, and everyone in the barracks burst into laughter.

Beep...beep...

Many people, through laughter, began to secretly vent their gases unscrupulously.

After a while, when everyone's breathing gradually became even and steady, Zhu Di stood up with a smile and walked out of the barracks to get some air.

The campground was quiet.

A bright moon hangs in the sky.

Staring at the bright moon above her head, her smile gradually disappeared.

Jingnan Road, Jingnan famous minister...

During lunch and dinner, he also saw the military commander of the guard station, Qianhu Qiufu, and deputy Qianhu Zhu Neng.

When meeting my eldest brother.

Cousin Li Wenzhong also explained.

This group of guard generals who accompanied them out of the customs were adjusted by him.

Among this group of generals who changed defenses, they were the group with the best performance records in the past.

If the old man doesn't bother him to get out of seclusion.

These people will not come out.

Therefore, he could not explain whether this was a coincidence or God's will.

In short, he had to be alert enough along the way. When the villagers followed him out, they had to go back without leaving any one behind.

swish swish...

The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted Zhu Di's thoughts.

Just now, he was thinking about Jingnan Road and Jingnan famous officials. Zhu Di's nerves were very tense. The moment the voice sounded, he turned his head and looked with sharp eyes...

Zhang Wu, who was holding his stomach and walking back, instantly felt like he was being stared at by a wild beast.

Under the moonlight and the lantern above the barracks door, Zhu Di's eyes were bright and biting.

After Zhu Di saw the person clearly, the bite in his eyes instantly disappeared.

Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, holding his stomach, but still a little scared. After getting closer, he did not dare to call Zhu Silang directly. He imitated Zhou Lang's call to Zhu Di and greeted him nervously: "Mr. Zhu, haven't you slept yet?"

"Can't sleep." Zhu Di didn't know how scary his expression just now was. He pointed at Zhang Wu's hand covering his stomach and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Wu's face was slightly red, his nervousness was replaced by embarrassment, and he didn't know how to lie. He stretched out his hand to scratch his head and said honestly: "It's the first time to eat such delicious food. I ate a little too much and my stomach feels uncomfortable."

new

"I just went to the hut..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh. His stomach was empty and he must not be used to it when he suddenly ate well. The folks in the village just had a little more exhaust under the restraints of him and his eighth uncle.

Pointing to some stone locks nearby, he walked over.

Zhang Wu understood.

Come along and sit down.

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Wu and asked, "You must be a military household, right? Is your family in trouble?"

"Yeah." Zhang Wu hummed, lowered his head, and said while rubbing his belly: "After my family was resettled in Fengyang, the land was not allocated to paddy fields, but was allocated to slopes and dry land, and the family had a large population. , I often don’t have enough to eat. This year my father was ill and I borrowed a lot of money from Mr. Qianhu of the Guard..."

"I fought for this change of defense. If I go to the frontier, I can make meritorious deeds and get rewards. It will be easier for my family..."

…

Perhaps no one has ever asked, and perhaps he is an honest person.

Zhu Di didn't even use cliches.

Zhang Wu immediately told everyone about the situation at home.

Even the ages of the three younger sisters and three younger brothers were mentioned.

Zhu Di listened patiently, and after Zhang Wu finished speaking, he smiled and patted Zhang Wu on the shoulder, "When we go outside the customs, follow your boss Tan closely. He is not sweet-mouthed and can't speak. Just be diligent with your hands and feet. For example, I will give you a Always fetch water or something like that, do more of this kind of thing..."

He didn't have much contact with Tan Yuan.

But Tan Yuan invited him to join the army several times, so this man had some brains.

Never mind whether this Tan Yuan is the historical Tan Yuan.

He has brains and looks tall and powerful. On the battlefield, as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be promoted.

Zhang Wu should be diligent and establish a good relationship with Tan Yuan.

It is very helpful for an honest person like Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Zhu, for the tip."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, "Go back and rest."

After sending Zhang Wu away, Zhu Di smiled and shook his head.

He just heard about Zhang Wu's family situation and was temporarily touched.

…

One night.

Zhu Di didn't even sleep well.

My habit of getting up at a certain time was rarely broken, and I was awakened by the cursing and urging voice.

A group of people were in a mess for a while, and an hour later, they finally gathered in the camp's school yard.

The official sent by the Metropolitan Governor's Office stood on the general-calling platform and loudly said: "The villages whose names are called should go and receive the tasks in order."

"Doqiao Village!"

"Zhuancun!"

…

Zhu Di and others followed a petty official and left the camp.

Outside the camp gate, carriages loaded with food and ordnance were already parked.

When servants escort food and ordnance, they do not need to be carried or pushed by the servants.

The court will provide oxen carts, donkey carts, and horse carriages.

The responsibilities of this group of people on the road were to drive the carts, take care of the large animals, and carry food and ordnance when crossing the river.

On a rainy day, even if you have gonorrhea, you must also ensure that food and ordnance do not get wet.

Of course, if you fail to take good care of the big animals and the animals die of exhaustion on the way, you will not only be punished.

People also have to pull the carts instead of animals.

In short, the task of the servants is to ensure that this batch of grain, grass, ordnance is delivered to the designated location without damage.

Tuqiao Village received the task of thirty carts of grain and seventeen carts of ordnance.

Forty-seven people, each with a large animal to look after.

Along with Tuqiao Village, there were also labor teams from eight villages.

There were more than 400 livestock carts.

The soldiers and horses who had left the border under the command of Qianhu Qiufu were already lined up on the side.

See all nine service teams ready.

He came up on horseback and glanced at Zhu Di, "I led the brothers out of seclusion to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service, not to serve as a guard for you people! I don't care about any relationship with some of you, and I will not Accommodate any of you!”

"If you fall behind."

"I will not order my brothers to stop and wait for you!"

"If you don't want to go out alone, just follow me along the way!"

"Set off!"

After saying that, he reined up his horse and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhu Di again.

‘In history, ‘I’ trained you, but now it’s my yin and yang? ’

Zhu Di couldn't laugh or cry.

He always felt that Qiu Fu's words were clearly meant for him.

It must have been his cousin Li Wenzhong who hinted at Qiu Fu.

However, Qiu Fu should not have been told his true identity.

Seeing Qiu Fu leading the soldiers and horses of the guard station to set off, and the other eight teams of servants also busy following in a mess, Zhu Di ordered: "Let's line up and set off. Whoever drives the animals has a temper and feels that he can't control it?" Bring it up immediately and let Uncle Ba and the others, who are experienced in driving livestock, take over."

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Qiu Fu and Zhu Neng, who were riding horses and leading their team some distance away, heard the sound and turned to look behind...

"Set off!"

I saw Zhu Di shouting, and the Tuqiao Village convoy followed the other eight villages in an orderly manner and took action.

Zhu Neng whispered: "Qianhu, is this Zhu Silang the same surname as the township party from your Majesty's hometown, or is he that one? This name..."

"It can't be that one. If it's really the one who came out of seclusion, the right governor should clarify it with us, and what identity that person is. Even if your Majesty demotes him to a commoner, he must be among the people, arrange a big house, and send some old ladies. Maid, take care of her in a dignified place."

"Do you really believe that His Majesty will let his son become a farmer? These are all just to fool the people. Whoever takes this seriously is a fool!"

Zhu Neng thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but nod, "If it's just a fellow countryman with the same surname who moved from His Majesty's hometown to Tuqiao Village, then there is no need for special care. As long as he can't die, it will be considered a disgrace to Cao Guo."

Both of them had just been transferred back from other places. After leading the troops to Jinling, they spent all day in the camp. However, they heard that Zhu Di was demoted to be a peasant.

But I don’t really believe in becoming a farmer.
