Feeling his mother's deep concern and concern, Zhu Xiong gently hugged his mother and patted her back.
"Mother, it's not Father's fault, really!”
"I asked for it."
"I once said to my father that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I have the responsibility and obligation to do this!”
"My son even said something in the morning today,'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world'. There are still tens of thousands of commoners in the Northern Lands waiting for our Great Ming to save them!”
"Mother, don't worry. I will definitely protect myself.”
"Your son is still waiting to come back and marry Miao Yun and give birth to a chubby grandson for you!”
Zhu Rong comforted her worried and crying mother gently.
Empress Ma was rendered speechless by his righteous words. She swallowed her words of rebuttal. Looking at her son's determined face, Empress Ma's heart was filled with worry and deep pride!
This was her son!
"San 'er, although I want to stop you, I have no reason to stop you.”
"I only hope that you will be careful and protect yourself. There is still an old mother waiting for her son in Jin Ling City!”
Empress Ma was finally convinced by Zhu Rong, but she couldn't help but worry in her heart. She urged Zhu Rong with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Mother. I will!”
He spent the entire morning with his mother in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.
In the afternoon.
Zhu Rong came to the Xu Manor and found his fiancée.
In the back garden of the Xu Manor.
In a pavilion, Xu Miaoyun was lying in Zhu Rong's arms with red and swollen eyes. Her shoulders were shaking and she was still sobbing.
"Alright, Miao Yun, you won't be pretty if you keep crying!”Zhu Rong raised his sleeve. He had wiped his fiancée's tears countless times, and his entire sleeve was wet.
As expected, the saying in 'Dream of the Red Chamber': Women were all made of water.
"Brother Zhu Rong, will you forget me after marrying the princess of Yuan Court?”Xu Miaoyun raised her head and looked at Zhu Rong pitifully, like an abandoned kitten.
"What nonsense are you saying? I can't forget anyone but you!”
"Besides, I'm only married to the princess of Yuan Ting by political marriage. I have no feelings for her. Besides, she's just a concubine.”
Zhu Rong held her little hand and comforted her gently.
"But... However, it would be a long time before Zhu Xiong left Dayuan. He spent days and nights with him, and it was inevitable that he would develop feelings for him.”
"Miao Yun is afraid!"
"I'm afraid that Princess Dayuan will gradually replace Miao Yun in Brother Zhu Rong's heart.”
Xu Miaoyun's eyes were filled with tears. Her nose was sniffling, and her voice was filled with worry.
She and Zhu Rong grew up together. They loved each other and had a deep relationship. It was only natural that they got engaged. They could be said to be a pair of immortal lovers. Xu Miaoyun's love for Zhu Rong was engraved into her bones!
The appearance of the Princess of Yuenting made Xu Miaoyun feel a deep sense of danger.
Xu Miaoyun had heard from her father that the princess of Yuan Court was not only extremely beautiful, but she was also known as the number one beauty of Yuan Court. She was also extremely talented and intelligent. She was a rare and extraordinary woman.
She felt a little inferior after hearing that!
"Little fool!"
"What nonsense are you saying!"
"We grew up together and got engaged under the witness of our parents and relatives. In my heart, Miao Yun, you have long been my wife!”
"Listen, my heart beats for you!”
"No matter what happens in the future, you will always be the first in my heart. You are unshakable and irreplaceable!”
Zhu Rong rubbed Xu Miaoyun's nose and placed her hand on her chest, letting her feel her strong heartbeat. She looked at her with a gentle expression.
Xu Miaoyun felt Zhu Rong's strong heartbeat and her affectionate eyes. The worry in her heart gradually dissipated.
She could feel Zhu Rong's passionate love for her and her position in Zhu Rong's heart.
"Brother Zhu Rong, you must be extremely, extremely, extremely careful when you go to Dayuan!”
"I'll wait for you to come back…Marry me."
Xu Miaoyun urged Zhu Rong earnestly. She mustered up her courage and expressed her feelings to Zhu Rong with a blushing face.
"Don't worry!"
"Don't look down on your fiancé's young age, but he has experienced dozens of fierce battles, big and small.”
"Stay at home and wait for me!”
"When I expel the Tartars, restore the Central Plains, and return triumphantly to the Northern Expedition, it will be the day we get married!”
"When the time comes, we'll have a grand wedding!”
Zhu Rong cupped Xu Miaoyun's face and solemnly promised her.
"I'll wait for you, Brother Zhu Rong!”
Xu Miaoyun's face was flushed red, and a blissful smile appeared on her face. A picture of her beloved, riding a tall horse and carrying eight palanquins to marry her in a phoenix coronet and robes, appeared in her mind.
......
Several days later.
After negotiating with Chahan Timur, the Ming court finally agreed to provide Nanyang City as a base for the Ming army to rest.
After the decision was made.
Zhu Xiong led 3,000 selected Jinyiwei and 50,000 soldiers out of Jinling.
Zhu Yuanzhang brought his civil and military officials out of the city to send them off.
"Son, this journey is long and far. It's beyond our reach. You can only rely on yourself!”Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Rong's back as he left and said in his heart. His eyes were filled with worry and deep anticipation.
At the side.
Empress Ma was already sobbing, tears streaming down her face as she collapsed in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms.
"Son, be careful!”
"You must protect yourself!”
Empress Ma shouted with all her might, sending her warning into Zhu Rong's ears.
"Brother Zhu Rong, you must take care!”
"Miao Yun is waiting for you to come back and marry me!”
Looking at Zhu Rong's gradually disappearing figure, Xu Miaoyun could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. She threw away her reservations and expressed her feelings to Zhu Rong in public.
His family, his lover, his worries, and his blessings traveled into Zhu Xiong's ears through the breeze, but he did not turn back.
At this moment.
He was the commander-in-chief of an army, and it was not the time to be swayed by emotions.
He only raised his arm and waved it vigorously to express to his family and loved ones that he had received their worries, blessings, and intentions.
They left Jin Ling City.
Zhu Xi took a boat down the river. Chahan Timur's men met him in Luzhou City, which was his territory.
After a short rest in Luzhou City, Zhu Rong and his soldiers changed their armor into Yuan people's clothes to hide from the public.
Although Zhu Xiong and the others were very annoying, they had no choice but to do this.
After all.
Wouldn't an army of 50,000 wearing the Ming Army's armor and swaggering into the Yuan Court's hinterland be the same as courting death?
After changing his attire and disguising himself, Zhu Xiong led the army to Nanyang City under the cover of Chahan Timur's troops.
Along the way, Zhu Xiong was greatly shocked.
He knew about the tyranny of the Yuan Court, the heavy taxes, and the miserable lives of the people in the Northern Lands, but he never expected it to be so miserable!
A thousand miles of barren land!
Starving people were everywhere!
Countless fields were barren and filled with weeds. There were beggars everywhere on the roadside. Their clothes were ragged and their eyes were empty, like zombies.
They were already numb and had lost hope in life.
Zhu Xi didn't think of himself as a saint, but as a man of the Han family, he felt very upset when he saw the tragic fate of the people of the Han family.
He swore in his heart that he would chase Bao Yuan and the other Hu Krupps out of the Central Plains as soon as possible so that the Han Family's men could straighten their backs and eat their fill!
Under Nanyang City.
The Liang King, Chahan Timur, who had received the news in advance, brought his son, Kuokuo Timur, and his daughter, Minmin Timur, to personally welcome Zhu Rong.
"Greetings, Your Highness the King of Liang!"
Zhu Rong dismounted from his horse and bowed. Although he was unwilling, he had to bow to the Yuan people he hated for the sake of unifying the world.
"No need to be so polite!"
"Our two families have already formed a good relationship. We are one family!”
"My son-in-law's name is like thunder. He destroyed Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and his prestige shook the world!”
"Why didn't you get a Wangye for your contribution? It wouldn't be too much even if you became the Ming Crown Prince!”
Chahan Timur pulled Zhu Rong's arm with a friendly look, but his heart was sinister. His words were full of provocation, wanting to stimulate Zhu Rong's dissatisfaction and ambition, causing the Ming Empire's royal family to fight.
Ha!
Zhu Rong sneered in his heart. What an old fox!
