three days later

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people leaving. Tu Tan, the leader, gave Zhu Yuanzhang a vicious look, turned around and left with Wei Chang.

In the days that followed, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel at ease as a counselor. He would go to discuss matters when he had something to do. If nothing happened, he would drink tea and read a book in his house. When he saw that Jianwen had been usurped by Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang threw the book heavily to the ground.

After a long silence, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the book and continued reading. When he saw the incident in Tumubao, his frowning brows slightly opened, Zhu Yuanzhang tightly grasped the book in his hand and uttered two words: "Trash!"

Those were the elites of the Ming Dynasty, but they were lost in the hands of a useless person. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the north and already had a decision in his heart. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still hesitant at first, suddenly made up his mind.

"At worst, we'll just do it again!"

When he was getting angry, Zhu Yuanzhang was disturbed by a knock on the door. He immediately put himself in order and opened the door. He saw Liu San questioning him: "Didn't I tell you to keep your distance from me?"

Liu San felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was like a bloodthirsty knife, and he was about to be killed when he spoke.

Liu San quickly adjusted his mood and handed out his wedding invitation and said: "Counsellor Zhao, this is a wedding invitation from my subordinates. If it weren't for your subordinates' blessing, I would like to invite you to the wedding wine."

Zhu Yuanzhang took the wedding invitation and said with a smile: "So that's what happened. I thought you had forgotten us."

"Your kindness will never be forgotten by my subordinates!"

Only then did Liu San feel that the biting feeling disappeared, and he felt as if he had just fallen from the cold winter into the warm spring.

"Well, I will definitely arrive on time!" Zhu Yuanzhang put away the wedding invitation.

Liu San approached Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "My subordinates heard a rumor that the bandit suppression was not going well. The leader, General Han, was also injured. General Xie criticized General Han for this reason."

"Okay, I understand. You don't have to worry about this anymore. Now just prepare to be the groom's official!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved him away.

Liu San walked out of Zhu Yuanzhang's house with a smile on his face, not noticing the figure disappearing at the corner of the alley.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu San's posture and said: "Go ahead!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind the "master".

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a straight face: "What's the matter?"

"The spy left just now, should we cause him some trouble along the way?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Let him go!"

"Yes!" The figure disappeared into the yard.

"Wow, it's really lively!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to hold up the book in his hand and read while gritting his teeth. After reading it, the whole book had been gripped and lost its original shape. Zhu Yuanzhang threw it into the stove making tea nearby, and a wisp of green smoke ignited in the air.

.

Three days later, there was a sound of blowing and beating in Qingjian County. Liu San sprinkled wedding money along the road and walked towards an inn. The inn was booked by Liu San to give the guests wine. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the time when the wedding of the two was about to be completed.

Rush to the inn.

When Liu San saw Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, he immediately led Yang Tao to salute Zhu Yuanzhang: "Thank you, Councilor Zhao, for your support!"

The two said in unison, Zhu Yuanzhang helped them up and said: "If you don't say this on the big day, Yang Tao will be in your charge from now on."

"Counsellor Zhao is joking, he is a man, how can he let a woman control him?" Yang Tao said playfully.

"You are wrong about this. Outside of the hero, this woman can't be wrong!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people's wedding clothes and whispered softly: "Sister!"

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and said: "Okay, don't be restrained when it comes to eating and drinking. You two are the ones in charge today."

Zhu Yuanzhang drank a glass of wedding wine and gave Liu thirty taels of silver when no one was paying attention. Liu San was a little puzzled and Zhu Yuanzhang teased: "Young men should show some respect for your money."

"Sir" Liu San was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, the bride is still waiting for you. The noise at night is quieter and the brothers listening to the wall will be anxious. You kid won't be able to eat and walk around." After Zhu Yuanzhang said that, he left.

That night

Liu San was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling restless. Yang Tao looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu San stood up and looked out the window and found no one, then he breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Tao looked at him very puzzled.

"It's all Councilor Zhao, why would anyone listen to Qiangen? I'm panicking now," Liu San said helplessly.

"Ms. sir, let's have a rest!" Yang Tao shyly climbed up to Liu San, and the candles in the room were blown out.

Several people appeared in the darkness. Suddenly, one of them was kicked by someone behind him and screamed in pain. Liu San's voice sounded in the room: "Madam, if there is something going on outside, just forget it."

"Bah, it must be the wild cat's name: Spring!"

After returning to the house, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the darkness, recalling every moment between himself and Queen Ma. He couldn't help but smile warmly, and sat alone all night like this.

When the rooster crows the next day, a knock on the door wakes Zhu Yuanzhang from his memories.

When he opened the door, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xue Cong standing in front of the door. He immediately showed a smile and said, "It turns out to be the military advisor!"

"Counsellor Zhao, Brother Xie asked me to summon you to discuss matters," Xue Cong said breathlessly.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked quietly: "What happened?"

"Tu Tan was injured by bandits on the way to Qianxi County. I heard that the injury was not serious." Xue Cong replied softly, looking at no one on the left and right.

"Then leave quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Xue Cong away.

As soon as he entered the county government office, he heard Jian Hongfang yelling angrily: "These damn bandits first hurt my sworn brother, but this time they dare to steal my food and grass and hurt my wife and brother. I will kill them!"

Xue Cong said loudly: "Brother Xie, Counselor Zhao is here!"

"Second brother is here, please take a seat." Xie Hongfang pulled Zhu Yuanzhang to sit in the first place.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly refused and said: "How can it be trivial for an eldest brother to show superiority to a younger brother?" He then found a chair below and sat down.

"Xian brother, these bandits really bullied me this time. My five hundred shi of food were robbed!" Xie Hongfang said angrily.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he quickly comforted him and said: "Brother, don't get so angry because of these bandits. I see that I must use thunderous means to prevent them from offending my majesty."

"Brother Xian, you don't know something. Brother, I am already short on troops, and the bandits are plundering along the way. I am even more exhausted. I wonder what you can do, brother?"

"If we can find out the bandits' lair, we can defeat them in one fell swoop," Xue Cong reminded 'timely'

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the eyes of the two of them and knew that going to Liu San's wedding would get him into trouble after all. It was clear that he had to take on this hard work by himself. If he was not careful, he might lose his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stood up and said, "I would like to go!"

"How can a good brother and a noble body be involved in danger so easily? It's inappropriate," Xie Hongfang refused with a troubled expression.

"My elder brother's words are a sign of contempt. It is my duty to share my worries with my elder brother. Could it be that my elder brother looks down on Zhao?" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

"Brother Zhao's words are serious, and Brother Xie doesn't want his second brother to be in danger," Xue Cong explained.

"But I think the second brother is determined to go, why don't you let the second brother give it a try?" Xue Cong said in a different voice.

"How can this be done?" Xie Hong said with an angry look on his face.

"Brother, I only need a hundred people. If you are unsure, come and see us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked eager to prove himself.

Xie Hongfang sighed and said: "Then follow my second brother, if you need help, just ask the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will definitely satisfy you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up to say goodbye, and everyone looked at his back with amusement.
