The storm in Guang Xi was still raging.
The Imperial Court's army to quell the rebellion was also ready.
Zhu Yunwen urgently dispatched a dozen guards from the vicinity of Ying Tian Prefecture, forming a 200,000 strong army.
Led by Xu Zuhui, they had already set off from the Ying Tian Prefecture and were heading towards Guang Xi.
Not long after Xu Zuhui led the army out.
At the gates of Jin Ling City, a carriage slowly drove out.
There were two girls sitting in the carriage, one big and one small.
The older girl had bright eyes and white teeth. Her appearance was refined and her temperament was extraordinary.
As for the young girl, she also had a delicate and cute feeling, like a daughter from a humble family.
The two women looked similar. They were both outstanding and rare beauties.
And they were sisters.
If Xu Zuhui was here, he would definitely recognize that these two sisters were none other than his two blood-related younger sisters, Xu Miaojin and Xu Miaoyun.
In the carriage, his younger sister Xu Miaoyun looked at her elder sister Xu Miaojin and said softly,"
"Third Sister, do you have to go to Qiongzhou?”
Xu Miaojin nodded lightly.
"Yes, I must go."
Xu Miaoyun asked in confusion,
"But why? At that time, he did not hesitate to reject the emperor's betrothal for you. In the end, he was exiled to a remote place in Qiongzhou. At that time, you did not leave with him. Now, after three years, you want to go and find him?”
Xu Miaojin shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Back then, it wasn't that I didn't want to go with you, but that I didn't dare.”
Xu Miaoyun was puzzled.
"Why not? Who would dare to threaten you? If you are willing, even if you are the Emperor Taizu, there is no reason to stop you, right? If you go with him, you'll suffer, not enjoy life.”
Xu Miaojin bit her lip and said,"
"Miao Yun, you're thinking too simply. If I was just a girl from an ordinary family, I wouldn't have any problems going to Jingzhou with him.”
"Unfortunately, I'm not. I'm the daughter of the Xu family. Our father is the founding general, Xu Da.”
"At that time, Emperor Taizu was clearing away the obstacles for His Majesty. He did not even hesitate to cause the Blue Jade Case and killed many founding generals.”
"The reason why our Xu family was able to survive was because our father passed away early. In addition, our eldest brother did not have enough prestige in the army to threaten the current emperor, so we were fine.”
"Moreover, the real reason why I didn't dare to go back then was that the night before he left the capital, Emperor Taizu looked for me.”
Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun was shocked.
"What is it? Emperor Taizu looked for you?"
Xu Miaoyun couldn't be blamed for being shocked. That was the Emperor Taizu, the most respected and most terrifying person in the entire Great Ming.
He was the founder of the Ming Dynasty and also an iron-blooded emperor. During the reign of Emperor Taizu, he created four bloody cases that shocked the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Weiyong case, empty seal case, Guo Huan case, blue jade case.
Almost every one of these four bloody cases was filled with blood and heads.
It made people respect and fear the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Miaojin smiled bitterly.
"That's right. Back then, when Emperor Taizu looked for me, I was just like you. I was shocked. I don't understand why an insignificant daughter of the Xu family like me was worth the attention of Emperor Taizu.”
"It was only after I met that Emperor Taizu that I knew why he was looking for me.”
Xu Miaoyun's eyes widened as she stared at her sister without blinking."
"Why?"
Xu Miaojin seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past. Her eyes were filled with fear.
"After Emperor Taizu saw me, he only said one thing.”
Xu Miaoyun asked curiously,"
"What words?"
"You're a smart child. Don't cause trouble for the Xu family.”
Xu Miaojin could still remember the cold gaze and ruthless tone of Emperor Taizu.
Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Miaojin sighed.
"Because he doesn't want to see our Xu family have anything to do with him. Because in the eyes of Emperor Taizu, he's a person who can threaten the current Emperor!”
"And Emperor Taizu did not want him to have any chance to threaten His Majesty!”
Xu Miaoyun was stunned.
"Third Sister, is he that powerful? I couldn't tell. When I saw him back then, I felt that he was a little dull. He didn't look like the grandson of an imperial prince, but more like a bookworm.”
Xu Miaojin shook her head.
"That's because you don't understand him. Those who truly understand him definitely wouldn't dare to underestimate him, and Emperor Taizu was someone who understood him very well.”
"Emperor Taizu was afraid that he would use the influence of the Xu family in the army to deal with the current emperor, so he forbade me from going to Qiongzhou with him. He wanted to break the relationship between us.”
"This was also the real reason why I didn't dare to go with him back then. I was afraid that if I went, it wouldn't matter. Not only would I implicate the Xu family, but I would also implicate him.”
Xu Miaoyun was enlightened.
"No wonder. I was wondering why you didn't want to see him even when you reached the city gate. So this is the reason.”
"But Third Sister, aren't you afraid now?”
Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes at Xu Miaoyun.
"Now that Emperor Taizu has been buried and His Majesty has successfully ascended the throne, what do I have to be afraid of? Moreover, His Majesty is magnanimous and not as terrifying as Emperor Taizu. Moreover, he is now in a remote place like Qiongzhou and can't threaten His Majesty.”
Xu Miaoyun snorted,
"You have nothing to worry about. It's just that if you leave the capital without permission, big brother will definitely be furious when he comes back from the expedition.”
Xu Miaojin said calmly,"
"No, Big Brother understands me very well. Moreover, I'm pursuing my own happiness. I, Xu Miaojin, want to be with the person I like.”
"So what if Big Brother, Second Brother, and Third Brother are against it? I won't compromise. If I can't be by the side of the person I love, I'd rather not marry for the rest of my life!”
Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned."
"Is this really okay?"
Xu Miaojin smiled.
"You're still young and haven't met someone you like yet. When you do, you'll understand how I feel.”
"Alright, now that we're out of the city, you should go back after sending me here.”
Xu Miaoyun suddenly smiled and said,"
"Go back? Why should I go back? It was not easy for him to come out, so he naturally had to play outside.”
Xu Miaojin's expression changed."
"Little sister, don't joke around. If you don't go back, 2nd and 3rd brother will go crazy.”
Xu Miaoyun said disdainfully,"
"Tsk, why would they be anxious? Who would believe that? The two of them were probably drinking in some brothel now.”
"Moreover, I have already left a letter. By the time they realize that we are not here, it will probably be two to three days later.”
"Third Sister, just let me go with you. I've never been out of the capital since I was young. Can you bear to leave me alone at home?”
"Besides, I don't feel at ease if you go alone. If we sisters go together, we can take care of each other, right?”
"When you get to Qiongzhou and see your beloved Langjun, ask him to find someone to send me back. Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for my sister.”
"Third Sister, just bring me along! I beg you!"
Xu Miaojin was speechless as she looked at her sister who was acting coquettishly in her arms.
However, on second thought, perhaps after she went to Qiongzhou this time, the sisters would probably not see each other much in the future.
At that time, one would be in the capital and the other in Qiongzhou. They would be thousands of miles apart and it would be difficult to even see each other.
Looking at her sister in her arms, she felt a little reluctant.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Miaojin finally nodded and said,
"Alright, you're already so old, yet you're still acting coquettishly. But let me say this first. On this journey, you have to listen to my arrangements for everything. Otherwise, I'll immediately get someone to send you back!”
Seeing Xu Miaojin agree, Xu Miaoyun immediately cheered,"
"That's great. I love you so much, Third Sister!”
As she spoke, she planted a kiss on Xu Miaojin's cheek.
Xu Miaojin was helpless. She rolled her eyes at her sister and said dotingly,
"You wretched girl!"
