"Let's go, Brother Mule. Let's go and take a look."
Zhu Rong stroked the mule's mane to comfort its frightened little heart, causing Brother Mule to carefully walk towards the man.
Night had fallen, so they could see it clearly from a close distance.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the person lying on the ground had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked quite fierce and was wearing a king's robe. He was tall and big. It was Zhu Rong.
The King of Jin, Zhu Xi, was the third son of Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang. Like Zhu Xi, he was also the son of Empress Ma. He was also quite a prodigal. Anyway, without Zhu Xi, the title of Demon King of Ming Dynasty would definitely belong to him.
"D * mn, it's really Third Brother!"
When a prodigal met a prodigal, they could not help but sympathize with each other. Zhu Xi quickly got off the mule. Seeing that Zhu Xi was a little dazed by Zhu Yuanzhang's firewood, he immediately reached out and slapped him.
"Third brother, third brother, wake up, it's me!”
"Ah?"
Zhu Rong rubbed his big face and sat up groggily. His eyes lit up when he looked at the screen.
"Second brother, I finally found you!”
"Hmm? Why are you looking for us?"
Zhu Xiong was a little puzzled.
"Shouldn't it be the Erhu brothers?"
"Let's not talk about this second brother first. Did you see who hit me just now?”
Zhu Rong covered his forehead with his left hand and picked up a piece of firewood with his right hand. He said with a gloomy expression,"
"Damn it, how dare you attack this king? Second brother, wait here for a while. I have to go and twist this thief's head off first!”
Zhu Rong's face turned pale and he hurriedly reached out to cover Zhu Rong. She said,
"Third brother, you can't say that!”
Zhu Rong was stunned. He looked at his second brother in confusion. Just as he was about to ask, he received a heavy slap on the back of his head.
A smack sounded, and it felt a little familiar. However, Zhu Xiong didn't have time to think so much. He immediately jumped up from the ground, covered the back of his head, and looked behind him fiercely.
"Thief, how dare you attack this king? Do you know that I'm…father?!”
With a loud slap, Zhu Yuanzhang threw another slap, causing Zhu Xi to kneel on the spot.
"Whose head are you going to twist off? Who are you calling a thief?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a step forward and stared at Zhu Rong. At the same time, he glanced at Zhu Rong coldly."
"Just like your second brother, he's an unfilial son!”
Zhu Rong's mind went blank after being scolded. He covered his big face and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with grievance.
"If it's not father, what did your son do to treat me like this?”
"Cough cough!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's narrowed eyes, Zhu Rong coughed and whispered into his ear,"
"The firewood that was thrown at you just now was thrown by Dad!”
"Ah?"
Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He hurriedly waved his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang and said,
"Father, it's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't want to talk about you!”
"We know!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his wrist and looked at Zhu Rong coldly.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have only slapped you twice!”
Zhu Rong frowned."
"Wasn't it three slaps, Father?"
"Two slaps!"
Zhu Yuanzhang tilted his head and looked at Zhu Rong."
"It was the first Second Brother who did it!"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Rong in disbelief."
"Second brother, you…"
"Aiya, don't mind these details.”
Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang speechlessly and patted him on the shoulder. He changed the topic and said,"
"Quickly tell me what's going on? Why are you the one who came to find me and Father? Where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Royal Guards?"
Zhu Rong stood up from the ground and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Rong."
"I'm not too sure either. It was Mother who sent someone to my residence to spread the news that Father and Second Brother were missing and asked me to lead people to look for them.”
"When we came, Er Hu was leading the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Royal Guards to search the nearby area. Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen were also looking for you with the civil and military officials of the court.”
"But who would have thought that you and Second Brother would come to West River?”
Zhu Rong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Brother Mule beside him. He couldn't help but ask,"
"If you want to find us, then so be it. Why are you shooting at mules?”
Zhu Rong's face stiffened. He scratched his head awkwardly and said,"
"Aren't I a little bored? I happen to have a bow and arrow with me, so…"
"Bastard!"
The veins on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead bulged as he pointed at Zhu Rong and said,"
"Your second brother and I are both lost, and you still have the mood to hunt?”
"Do you know? This mule is my savior, without it, I and Second Brother would have died long ago!”
Zhu Xiong emphasized lightly,"
"To be precise, it should only be your father.”
"Get lost!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
Seeing this, Zhu Rong looked nervous. He couldn't help but pull on Zhu Rong's sleeve and ask,"
"Second Brother, what's wrong with Father today? It's like he ate gunpowder!"
Zhu Rong's expression was normal as he said,"
"I'm fine. I might have choked on locusts.”
"What?"
Zhu Rong's eyes widened as he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in disbelief,"
"Father, have your tastes always been so heavy?”
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and glared at Zhu Rong.
"You unfilial son, you still have the face to say that. If you hadn't lied to us, would we have eaten locusts?”
Zhu Rong crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, forgive your son for being blunt, but you should have eaten these locusts.”
"Have you forgotten that this morning at the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, you personally said that as long as I have a way to resolve the locust plague, you will eat the flying locusts raw.”
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could argue, Zhu Rong stepped forward and pointed at Xi He.
"Now, the river is full of dead locusts. The locust plague has been resolved. Moreover, our son didn't really ask you to eat them raw.”
"You…"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes almost popped out. However, when he recalled what he had said in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, he could not say anything.
He could only grit his teeth and snatch the horsewhip from Zhu Rong's hand. He turned around and mounted his tall horse, galloping away.
"Hey, dad, that's my horse!"
Zhu Xiong shouted from behind.
The only reply he received was a roar.
"Get lost!"
The corner of Zhu Rong's mouth twitched. He walked towards Brother Mule and waved at his third brother,"
"Alright, Third Brother, Father has always been unreasonable. Let's go, ride the mule back with Second Brother.”
"Alright then!"
Zhu Rong shrugged his shoulders, but at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils immediately shrunk to the size of a needle tip.
"Hey, that's not right, second brother. Did you make father speechless just now?”
Zhu Xiong nodded lightly.
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"Wow, second brother, when did you become so powerful?”
Zhu Rong looked at him in disbelief, his eyes filled with unprecedented admiration.
"Teach me, Third Brother!"
"This…you probably can't learn it.”
Zhu Xiong rubbed his chin and shook his head slowly.
"Don't, Second Brother. We're all born from the same mother. You can't ignore me!”
Zhu Rong stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhu Rong's arm."
"It's not like you didn't see it just now. Father got angry when he saw me and slapped me twice. If that's the case, can I still get along well with Father in the future?”
"Uh, alright, it depends on your performance."
Unable to refuse, Zhu Rong could only spread his hands and say,"
"If your comprehension is very high, I will teach you again.”
"Then it's a deal."
Zhu Rong's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a little chick pecking at rice. He looked at the mule in front of him and immediately bowed to Zhu Rong, raising his hand.
"Second brother, please!"
"Hey, third brother, you can't do this."
"Of course, of course."
"No, I mean lower your back.”
"…Alright, Second Brother!"
