Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Xu Yungong stood at the side.
He had just found a pavilion and sat down.
Before they exchanged a few pleasantries, they heard Xu Miaojin crying.
"Hahaha, this is Miao Jin, right?
If I remember correctly, she's five or six years old this year, right?？”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"Yes, Miao Jin is five years old this year!”
Xu Da smiled and nodded.
"You two little fellows, come here!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out his hand and called the two of them over. Then, he looked at Xu Miaojin and asked,
"Miao Jin, why are you crying?
Did Lin 'er bully you? Tell me and I'll help you teach him a lesson!!”
Xu Miaojin sobbed pitifully and replied,"
"I wanted to play house with him, but he refused to play with me!”
"You little fellow, you are quite arrogant."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and patted Zhu Zheng's head. Then, he waved his hand and said,
"Let's talk to your Grandpa Xu Da.
Go and have fun with Miao Jin. Don't bully her!”
"Alright then!"
Zhu Zheng rubbed his nose and helplessly agreed.
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin's sorrow turned into joy, and her smile blossomed like a flower.
Then, he carefully grabbed Zhu Zheng's hand.
She raised her head and blinked her big eyes at him, looking innocent and pitiful.
"I can play house, but I don't want to be a son.”
"I'll be the father, and you'll be the daughter!" Zhu Zheng said without a doubt.”
"Mm, okay!"
Xu Miaojin didn't mind.
As long as Zhu Zheng played with her, it was fine. She immediately smiled and nodded.
Then, he pulled Zhu Zheng's hand.
She hopped to the side and started playing.
Looking at the two of them playing not far away.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh,
"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, Miao Jin has grown so big."
"Yes, I am!"
Xu Da echoed.
Then, he sized up Zhu Zheng and asked,
"Shangjin, this little guy is the child you picked up a few years ago?？”
"Yeah!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded.
He stared at Zhu Zheng's figure and could not help but shout,
"Lin 'er, run slowly. Be careful not to fall."
As he spoke, he turned his head around. The doting expression on his face was not hidden at all. He asked,
"What do you think of this little guy?？”
"Not bad. He looks like a talented person and looks like he's blessed.”
Xu Da narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.
He didn't show it on his face, but he was shocked in his heart.
He had also heard of Zhu Zheng's existence.
It seemed that Old Zhu was quite fond of this child.
Even so, at this moment, he personally witnessed Old Zhu's doting attitude towards her.
He was still in disbelief.
Based on his understanding of Old Zhu.
I'm afraid this child is definitely not a simple abandoned baby
"This child is indeed very good-looking.
Tiande, who do you think looks more like him?？”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and suddenly asked.
There seemed to be a deeper meaning in his words.
Xu Da was stunned.
After that, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Zheng who was not far away, carefully sizing him up.
After looking at Zhu Zheng's face a few times,
Xu Da's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then, he probed,
"This official looks like she looks a little similar to the empress when she was young?？”
" Hahaha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily but did not say anything.
He did not comment on whether Xu Da was right or wrong.
But Xu Da understood.
His old eyes flashed as he understood something.
It was just as he had guessed.
This child's relationship with His Majesty was not simple!!
As for Xu Yungong, who was standing behind Xu Da.
He looked at the two of them in confusion, not knowing what they were up to.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic after laughing for a while.
He looked at Xu Da's haggard face and asked with concern,
"How is it, Tiande? Is your body feeling better during this period of time?
Does the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician still have any effect?？”
"I'm old and useless.
He probably wouldn't care about any medicine he took. He was just struggling to survive!”
Xu Da shook his head. His old face was filled with weakness. Then, he said with some emotion,
"These days, I have been dreaming and thinking about the past.
He thought of his hometown in Huaixi and the days when he was a child and herded cows and starved.
Remembering that you've killed a cow and shared it with us
This is the first time we've eaten meat in our lives
He also thought of the days when he followed the throne and conquered the south and north.
Heh, it was really satisfying at that time!!
Unfortunately, I can't go back anymore."
Xu Da's eyes flashed with reminiscence.
He had a sad expression as he spoke.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened quietly. He felt uncomfortable.
In recent years, Xu Da's health was deteriorating day by day.
He had ordered him to be brought back to the capital from Beiping to recuperate, but there had been no improvement.
These days, his condition had worsened.
The imperial physician had already reported the specific situation to him and gave him a diagnosis.
It was difficult to recover from accumulated injuries, and it was difficult for immortals to cure him. There was not much time left.
Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a hurry to bring Zhu Zheng over to visit.
Other than settling some matters.
Most importantly, he wanted to personally send Xu Da off.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was also thinking of many things.
He thought of their childhood friends.
Thinking of joining the army and killing enemies together…
He thought of Xu Da's uncomplaining and loyal service.
I risked my life for him
Zhu Yuanzhang's body trembled slightly as he said emotionally,"
"Ever since I got up, you've worked hard to achieve this feat.
Over the years, many of my old brothers have changed.
Blinded by wealth, she became hateful.
You've become exactly like those corrupt officials who bullied us when we were young!
But only you haven't changed! Tiande!
I know everything, I remember everything!!”
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out to hold Xu Da's rough palm and said with a trembling voice,"
"Old friend, you must take care of yourself. We can't leave you!!”
Xu Da also held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly and smiled freely."
"You don't have to comfort me. I know my body and I won't live for long.
However, I don't care!"
"Death is just an ordinary matter. What's there to be afraid of?!”
Xu Da's turbid eyes stared at Zhu Yuanzhang as he said regretfully,"
"It's a pity. I'm afraid it will collapse from old age.
He could no longer drink his horses on the battlefield and charge into the enemy's line for the higher-ups to cleanse his disobedience!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. He only held Xu Da's hand tightly, as if he was expressing his reluctance.
After a long time, he asked,"
"Do you have any unfinished business?
Tell me, and I'll do anything!"
Xu Da smiled and shook his head.
"In this life, I was able to follow you to the throne and have this day.
His wish was fulfilled, and he had no other wishes.
Many of his family members were rewarded by His Majesty, and their titles were passed down. They could also live a life of wealth and honor.
I have nothing to worry about.
It was a pity that Old Chen had a daughter.
Miao Jin is too young to see her get married."
"What's so difficult about that?
I'll find you a good marriage that will definitely satisfy you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly smiled when he heard this. Then, he turned around and shouted,
"Lin 'er, Miao Jin, stop playing and come over!!”
