After discussing with Zhu Yuanzhang, it was almost dusk that Xiao Yun had left the Palace of King Wu under the guidance of Eunuch Li. Along the way, Xiao Yun almost never recovered from the shock he had just passed. Later generations recorded that after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he quickly promulgated the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and "Law of the Great Edict" two far-reaching laws. At the same time, he erected butcher knives many times and killed a group of corrupt officials. At this moment, he could almost imagine the bloody years in his mind.

"Damn it, it seems that I have to stop thinking about it?" Xiao Yun murmured in his heart.

Eunuch Li sent him out of the mansion, bowed slightly and said, "General Xiao has been home for several months. He must be missing his beautiful wife at home. We won't give her more. Let's leave me?"

Xiao Yun was not very dissatisfied with the eunuchs of Zhu Yuanzhang, and even had some sympathy. Seeing him saluted, he replied, and then he came to the direction of Xuanwu Lake.

Xiao Yun returned home with an arrow, walking very quickly. He saw that he was getting closer and closer to Xuanwu Lake, and he watched the Zhouzhou dike bridge connect and integrate, and the Xuanwu Lake with mountains and waters everywhere. A familiar picture quickly merged into his mind, "Dear wives, your husband is back!"

As he got closer and closer to his door, Xiao Yun was both nervous and joyful. It has been more than a year since he left Poyang Lake. After spring and autumn, everything is fine at home. The cute little princess, the weak Xiaodie, and the wise Xie Lanlan are all fine? Will I blame me for neglecting them? Have my children grown up? Will they recognize me as my father?"

Thinking of all this, the longing that was suppressed in my heart suddenly became like the tide of the Qiantang River, and I immediately rushed to my own house.

Just as I was about to enter the house, a sound of a carriage turning came from inside, and a carriage was slowly driving out. After a young man in the car saw Xiao Yun, he suddenly shouted loudly at the handlebar in front: "Butler Li, butler Li, stop quickly, stop quickly, I see an acquaintance?"

The handlebar type is a middle-aged man about forty years old. After hearing the shouts, he hurriedly pinned the reins of the horse, stopped the carriage under a big tree by the road, and turned his head and said, "Mr. Mao, what's wrong?"

The person inside ignored the butler's inquiry, but instead crawled out of the curtain of the car. Xiao Yun, who was striding forward in front of him, looked for a while, hesitated for a moment, shouted, "Yes, is it General Xiao Yunxiao?"

Xiao Yun was walking with his head down, and did not look at the person coming in front of him. However, he was a martial arts practitioner after all, with his ears higher than ordinary people. He turned his head curiously and looked at the carriage on his side. His eyes ignored the handlebars and went straight into the owner of the car.

I looked carefully for a while: "This man looks so familiar, I seem to have seen him somewhere?" But I couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.

Seeing him looking, the man jumped out of the carriage and asked him, "Is it General Xiao Yunxiao?"

"Damn, everyone knows this place. Hey, it's still too famous. I'm already very low-key. Why do anyone know me?" Xiao Yun sighed in his heart, but his eyes looked at the man in confusion, and hesitated: "Yes, it's Xiao Yun below. I wonder if this adult is?" He saw that this man was wearing brocade clothes and a piece of purple jade on his waist. He looked like he was not an ordinary person at first glance, not to mention that he had a separate carriage. Xiao Yun alone dared not underestimate the person in front of him. He answered his question and called him "Auntie."

The man said, "Mr. Xiao, is it really you? Why? Don't you know me anymore?"

Xiao Yun was vaguely kind-looking, but couldn't remember it for a moment. He hesitated and said: "To be honest, Xiao has experienced too much life and death this year. I really can't remember who this adult is. Why? Have we ever seen it?"

The man didn't care, laughed and said, "We have seen it before, but I was promoted by the adults?"

"I still remember clearly that day when I sacrificed my life to save His Highness the King of Wu--?" The man stared at Xiao Yun and smiled.

Xiao Yun's body trembled, then became surprised, walked over and said aloud: "Is it Brother Mao?"

The person who came was not someone else, and it was Mao Xiang who was held by Xiao Yun in the past. Seeing that Xiao Yun recognized him, he looked extremely excited and immediately ran over from the carriage, pulled Xiao Yun's wrist and said excitedly: "General Xiao, I thought it was not you, but I didn't expect it was you. Do you know that when I saw you being shot into Poyang Lake that day, I thought you were dead. I would have cried. If His Highness of the King of Wu had not told me later that the general was not dead, maybe I would still be crying?"

Xiao Yun didn't expect that the commander of the Jinyiwei, who had a bad reputation in his later generations, was so affectionate to him. He also felt a sense of emotion in his heart. He walked up and hugged him in his arms, hugged him with red eyes and said, "Do you know, Brother Mao, do you think I miss you to death?"

The two hugged for a while, remembering the brotherly friendship of the past, and stood beside Xuanwu Lake and talked about the change of each other over the past year. After the battle at Poyang Lake, Mao Xiang was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang and was recruited under his command and became a member of the procuratorate. When he was with Xiao Yun, he learned a lot of reconnaissance methods with Xiao Yun. It can be said that he had rich work experience and soon stood out among many procuratorate and was deeply trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang. During the battle against Zhang Shicheng's two Huai Rivers, he explored the march route of Zhang Shicheng's army, allowing Xu Da and Chang Yuchun's army to be fully prepared. Zhu Yuanzhang remembered a great contribution. After Xu Da's army captured Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places, he was promoted to the commander of the procuratorate by Zhu Yuanzhang, and together with Yang Xian, he was now responsible for spying on Zhang Shicheng's intelligence, which was proud.

As the two talked, they finally heard the moment when they were in opposition, and they smiled. Xiao Yun did not expect that in just over a year, Mao Xiang became a member of the Jinyiwei and a leader. It was not surprising that he remembered the later records that he was the first Jinyiwei commander.

Mao Xiang obviously valued Xiao Yun's promotion and their friendship. After talking for a while, his eyes began to turn red. He pulled Xiao Yun's wrist and said, "General, do you know? Since your accident, I have been looking for you. I have been looking for you on Poyang Lake for three days and three nights, but I didn't see the general. Later, when you are fine, I felt relieved. But every time I go to the left scepter to find Lan Yu to drink, I can't help but think of the general!"

Xiao Yun also felt a sense of heroism in his heart. No matter how hated the Jinyiwei in later generations, he could not hate the person in front of him. He patted him hard on his shoulder and said, "I miss Brother Mao very much. I am extremely unacceptable if you are not by my side these days?"
