Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 117 The Calm Before the Storm

And this news comes from the very respectable old man who has been against Zhu Yuanzhang for half his life, so it is absolutely reliable.

"So, how many of their brothers are okay?" Goatee Shi Chenglu said happily.He is the referrer of the Hong family brothers, and he is responsible for their problems.

"Well. The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable. If there are problems with all these, then what else is not a problem?" The leader's nonsense literature still played steadily:
"You can rest assured to absorb them into teaching."

Cao Hufa said with some regret: "Oh, I thought it was a big fish..."

"Why isn't it a big fish?" Shi Chenglu said with his beard raised in joy: "These brothers are all talents, not to mention the housekeeping craft of acting, just say that Hong Hao is born with supernatural power, Hong Bin is both civil and military, and Hong Ji is martial arts Gao Qiang, Hong Yu has superb medical skills, and Hong E, the youngest, he, he...he is the best eater."

"In short, if King Ming can get the help of their brothers, he will be even more powerful!" Shi Chenglu gave a very high evaluation, of course it was to show off his good vision.

"Go and talk to them." Ming Wang pondered for a moment, and felt a little inferior: "But after all, they are the sons of Cheng Wang and Gao Qi, so it may be difficult to accept them rashly to join the Ming Cult."

"It's not up to them!" Hufa Cao snorted.

"Hey, since his brother is the successor of King Cheng and Gao Qi, it will be of great benefit to us to preach in the south of the Yangtze River in the next step." But Shi Hufa has a far-sighted view: "We must let them surrender willingly, so that they can play their greatest role. .”

Then King Ming said very firmly: "Since they are the sons of those two men, they will join us sooner or later."

"Master Ming is really far-sighted!" The two guardians boasted together.

~~
After coming out, Protector Shi decided to talk to Hong Ji, whom he admired the most.

"Uncle Shi, what's the matter?" Zhu Di walked in.

"Come on, sit down, it's something to do." Shi Chenglu greeted Zhu Di to sit down, made him a cup of tea and said, "We know that your brother is driving pigs in a small alley—a straightforward temper. So I don't go around in circles anymore."

"That's the best."

"Following us for so long, you must know what we do, right?" Shi Chenglu stared at Zhu Di.

"I know." Zhu Di nodded, but his heart was pounding. No matter how brave and resourceful he was, he was only 16 after all.

"Relax, our Mingjiao doesn't eat people." Seeing his tense expression, Shi Chenglu couldn't help laughing: "In fact, we didn't even eat meat before."

Zhu Di nodded, and said softly: "Eating vegetables is the devil's king."

"We are actually serving Mani, and the devil is the slander of Mani by the previous dynasty." Shi Chenglu habitually defended, and then waved his hand: "Now believers can't help but eat meat, those are not important anymore."

Zhu Dixin said, this is still my father's credit.

"Brother Ni, what do you think of our Mingjiao?" Shi Chenglu threw out another proposition.

"Very, very good." Zhu Di was still able to speak, so he could only compliment him: "Being the master of the people and doing justice for the sky. Very, very promising..."

"Hahaha, are you willing to join this promising career?" Shi Chenglu's next words made him stunned.

"Ah, I, we..." Zhu Di's mouth was dry for a while, he picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and said embarrassingly: "We are just a bunch of stinky actors, I'm afraid, I'm afraid we can't do anything else."

"Hey. Zhu Hongwu is still a beggar. His background is no lower than yours, but he is not the same as the emperor? So, it is better to be a prince and general." Shi Chenglu patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said:
"Xiaoji, let me tell you straight - our Duke Ming admires your brother very much, and intends to recruit you to join the religion. Don't miss this opportunity to change your destiny."

"This..." Zhu Di was worried that if he refused, the other party would turn his back on him again.I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"It seems that you can't make up your mind by yourself. Then go back and discuss it first, and don't rush to answer." Fortunately, Shi Chenglu is easy to talk, and smiled considerately: "Our Mingjiao only recruits like-minded people with a bright heart, and we will not force Someone else joined."

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it." Zhu Di nodded hurriedly.

"Aren't you in a hurry to go home and look at the crops? The carriage has been arranged for you, and you can go back at any time." Shi Chenglu said surprisingly generously:
"Go home and think about it carefully. I will visit you after a while and just give me an answer."

"Hey, good." Zhu Di readily agreed.

~~
Zhu Di went back in a daze, and told the brothers the content of the conversation.

Boyi and his brothers were all dumbfounded.

"A few days ago, I was afraid that we would run away, so why did you let us go again?" The third child felt that there was a fraud. "We can't keep letting them lead us by the nose."

"I saw that the carriage is waiting outside." Zhu Di muffled, "Why don't you stay by yourself and let's go back first?"

"Fuck you..." Zhu Bai glanced at him, and changed his words: "No matter what, I didn't say anything, it's a good thing to let us go back."

"No, that's right." Zhu Xi nodded, and immediately gave orders to pack up and prepare to run away.

As for Guardian Shi's invitation to join the teaching, it was automatically ignored by the brothers.

The people of Mingjiao really did what they said, not only arranged a carriage to take them back, Goatee also prepared a cart full of all kinds of good things, saying that it was a thank you gift from King Ming.

The brothers were eager to return home, and after thanking them, they hurried away.

It wasn't until they were far away from Wuli Temple that Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did they change their sex?" Zhu Di asked a question that he had held back for a long time.

"I've been listening to what they're talking about, and it seems like they're going to make a big deal in the near future." Zhu Zhen, who was on the back of the bull, swayed and said, "Maybe it's because we're afraid that we'll get in the way."

"So kind?" Zhu Di didn't like to believe.

"Who knows." Zhu Zhen also shrugged his eyebrows. "I'm afraid you have to ask King Ming to find out."

"Well, you should actually agree to join them." Zhu suddenly complained to the fourth brother again: "This way we can know their plans and help the government prevent problems before they happen."

"Just now you were asked to stay but you refused." Zhu Di stared.

"Didn't I respect everyone?"

"Cut, let it be an afterthought."

The brothers have long turned a blind eye to the daily quarrel between the two.

But Zhu's words also made them more or less realize that they still cherish their lives.

Right now, their harvest has far exceeded expectations.

The truth that I heard, saw, and learned during this trip is enough to set off a stormy sea in the court.It is estimated that it can also help the people of Fengyang and those poor peasant husbands to improve their situation.

That's enough... right?

Go back and wait for the rice to be harvested, this experience will be a perfect ending... right?

Don't make any more extravagances...

But that is impossible.

This is just the last calm before the storm.

ps. The fourth update, 15000 order plus update.
