That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, dotted with stars.
A bonfire was lit on the bank of the West River. Zhu Yuanzhang and his son looked at each other. The fire shone on their faces, reflecting each other's expressions.
"Give us some clothes!"
The night was cold, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was naked, felt a trace of coldness. After hesitating for a while, he finally reached out his hand to Zhu Rong.
"I'm not free!"
Zhu Rong was holding a wooden stick with a wet royal robe on it. He was roasting it by the bonfire. He was only wearing a single layer of clothing and curled up in the evening wind.
"Are you just going to watch us freeze to death here?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened as he stared at Zhu Rong and said,"
"I'm your father!"
"…Heh, Father, you still have the nerve to say that.”
Zhu Rong smiled speechlessly and rolled his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Everyone says that a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs. You're good. You know that your son won't jump into the river, but you still have to drag me down. If it weren't for you, would my royal robe be wet?”
"How do we know that you really don't know how to swim?”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red. He looked at Zhu Rong and said,"
"Besides, didn't we save you after that?”
Zhu Rong stood up and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Oh, so according to you, our son will be fine if he stabs someone with a knife and then saves him?”
"If that's the case, won't everyone in the world be allowed to be stabbed by me?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked irritated. He stood up from the shore with his hands behind his back and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
"If it's not Second Brother, why do you want to go to such a dead end with us?”
"You know very well whether we did it on purpose or not. Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited until now. With the evil things you've done in the past, if we really dealt with them according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, we would have plucked your head long ago!”
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth curled up, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"You deserve it. Who asked you to be my father?”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. Instead of being angry, he said happily,
"Since you understand, then this dress…"
"Aren't we roasting it?"
Zhu Xiong said impatiently.
"Unfilial son, what kind of attitude is this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
"This is my attitude. When I return to the palace, I will go find Mother and tell her that Father pulled me into the river.”
Zhu Xiong shouted.
Hearing Zhu Rong mention Empress Ma, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart disappeared without a trace. He pointed at Zhu Rong weakly and said,"
"You child, why do you always look for your mother about our matters?”
Zhu Xiong said without hesitation,"
"Only mothers are good in this world. Children with mothers are like treasures.”
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.
"What song is this? Why haven't we heard of it before?"
Zhu Rong spread his hands and said,"
"It's fine as long as you understand the meaning."
"You…"
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth. He had contributed 2,000 Emperor's Fury points to Zhu Rong in just a short while.
However, when he thought of the Emperor's Fury that was used to quickly build the Miehuang Spirit to destroy the locust army and increase the production and consumption, Zhu Xiong felt a pang of pain. He had suffered a huge loss!
It seemed that the system was right. For the sake of his future business plan, he had to upgrade the factory again.
However, if he wanted to upgrade the Super Construction Factory to the next level, he would need a total of 20,000 Emperor's Wrath points. At present, his inventory was less than 10,000 points. The road ahead was still long!
"Gululu…"
A familiar sound interrupted Zhu Rong's thoughts. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw his cheapskate father looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. While admiring the bright moon, his old face turned red.
"…Father, are you hungry?"
Zhu Xiong said straightforwardly.
"Who is it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face froze. He looked at Zhu Rong and opened his mouth wide. He spread his hands and said,
"Heh, us? How is that possible?"
Zhu Rong narrowed his eyes.
"But that sound just now…"
"Just now?"
Before Zhu Rong could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted,
"Weren't you the one who made the sound just now?”
Zhu Rong's expression was normal."
"A dog!"
"How dare you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened in anger, but he soon realized that this was Zhu Xiong's trick. His entire old face turned extremely red, but he gritted his teeth and said,
"You unfilial son, how dare you scold me? Let's see how I'll deal with you when we return to the palace.”
Zhu Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he spread his hands and said,"
"You can't blame me. You were the one who said you weren't hungry. Otherwise, our son wouldn't have said that!”
The veins on his forehead bulged. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stepped forward and pointed at Zhu Rong.
"That's because I'm not hungry!"
"Gululu…"
Zhu Rong raised his eyebrows and slowly stretched out his hands. He smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was frozen on the spot, and said,
"Father, do you need me to pretend not to hear you?”
"Get lost!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily and quickly turned around. He looked at Xi He, who was immersed in the night sky. He crossed his arms and squatted down angrily, gradually shrinking into a ball.
At this moment, he felt a sudden warmth on his back. Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and saw Zhu Xiong slowly draping the dried royal robe over his shoulder. He smiled at him and said,
"Alright, Dad, I was just joking. You're not really angry, right?”
"Humph!"
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but his body honestly put on the royal robe.
Feeling the warmth of the royal robe as he buttoned it, Zhu Yuanzhang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his gloomy expression turned into one of enjoyment.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong slowly squatted down and sat beside his father on the shore. Looking at the West River under the night sky, his eyes lit up.
"Are you comfortable, Father?"
"Hmph, at least you still have some conscience.”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted again and rubbed his empty stomach. He tilted his head to look at Zhu Rong and said,
"Aren't you hungry?"
Zhu Rong shrugged his shoulders.
"It's alright."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened as he said this. He could only wave his hand and say,"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'm hungry."
"That's more like it."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in satisfaction, then turned his head to look around. The mule, who was drinking water on the shore, was frightened by the sight of it for a moment. It neighed and ran away in an instant.
"Second, I think I know why your mule runs so fast.”
Zhu Yuanzhang scratched his head.
Zhu Rong turned a deaf ear to him. He frowned and looked at the locusts floating on the river. It seemed that they were a little different from before!
His eyes weren't as red as before, and his body seemed to have shrunk a little. Strange, could it be that Miehuang Spirit had a purifying effect?
At the thought of this, Zhu Rong's heart skipped a beat. A cold mechanical voice immediately sounded in his mind.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for guessing correctly. Not only can the locust spirit kill the locusts, but it can also neutralize the toxicity in the locusts 'bodies and kill all the eggs and viruses contained in their bodies. From there, the locusts that form the locust plague will become no different from ordinary locusts!”
Was there any difference?
Zhu Rong raised his eyebrows and looked at the corpses of the locusts floating over the river. He carefully glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and saw that he was still looking around for something to fill his stomach. A strange smile appeared on his face.
