Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 160 Fourth Master Zhu: You bury me, he digs me up
The next day.

After Fourth Master Zhu got up, he hurriedly went to find Li Hongyi.

Zhao Xuanzhen frowned slightly, what made him so anxious? Don’t you even exercise in the morning? As promised, I will examine myself three times a day?

Fourth Master Zhu came to Li Hongyi's room and pushed the door open directly.

Li Hongyi happened to be changing her clothes. Her bare feet were as delicate as jade, revealing a pair of straight, slender, white and flawless long legs. A red dress lightly wraps around her upper body, covering her delicate and smooth skin just right. A slender jade belt is lightly tied around her waist, outlining her graceful and graceful curves.

Facing Master Zhu's sudden intruder, Li Hongyi said coldly: "If you want to see, just close the door first."

Her tone was as cold as usual, and she didn't care about Fourth Master Zhu's intrusion. She continued her dressing movements without any shame, as if she thought he didn't exist.

Fourth Master Zhu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and quickly closed the door. He turned around, wanting to appreciate this rare beauty, but Li Hongyi moved quickly and was quickly dressed. She glanced at Fourth Master Zhu coldly and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Only then did Fourth Master Zhu come to his senses. He nodded quickly and asked, "You are better than the imperial doctor, right?"

Li Hongyi's beautiful eyes were as cold as ice, and she nodded slightly: "The prince takes me with him when traveling, so he doesn't need to take the doctor with him."

Zhu Biao returned to the palace in Fengyang City.

Li Hongyi's fingers gently pressed a position on the back of Fourth Master Zhu's head a few times and then said in a deep voice: "The golden needle is right here, and the location is very hidden. Most people wouldn't be able to find it if I hadn't checked it myself. The strange thing is, according to the Logically speaking, there is a golden needle inserted here, so you should have been dead long ago. How come you are still alive and well now?"

Li Hongyi then walked behind him, put her hands on his head, and began to check carefully.

He frowned.

Zhu Biao looked respectful and performed the ancestor worship ceremony meticulously.

Thank you. I am the son of time travel, the chosen one. How could I die?

After the worship, he came to Fourth Master Zhu and asked directly: "Fourth Master, do you remember where your home is in Fengyang?"

As a time traveler, Fourth Master Zhu naturally understands that the various nerves in his head must not be messed with.

Although Zhu Biao was worshiping, he looked at Fourth Master Zhu from time to time. He wanted to see if there was anything strange about Fourth Master Zhu, but Fourth Master Zhu looked as usual.

Who buried me? Who dug me? Isn’t the identity of the original owner simple? Even if he died, he would be stabbed with needles.

Maybe you will remember it when you reach that mountain.

The purpose is to find out the specific details of the nobles' disobedience and whether the nobles have returned the occupied land to the common people.

As expected, Grandpa doesn’t remember, what should I do?

You come to bury it, and he comes to dig it up. There is a story behind the original owner.

He also hoped that Fourth Master Zhu would think of something while walking.

"Okay!" Zhu Biao nodded.

The strange thing is that since he had that nightmare when he was attacked by Wu Yu last time by the river, he couldn't remember the scene after he crawled out of the tomb.

Zhu Biao frowned deeply.

Fourth Master Zhu frowned and shook his head: "I don't remember it at all!"

"No!" Li Hongyi said in a serious voice, "I suggest you not to pull out this needle easily. If you make any mistake, you will either become a fool or die."

……

Fourth Master Zhu sat down on the chair and pointed to his head, "A golden needle was inserted into my head."

"That's not right. Didn't grandpa crawl out from here? Doesn't he remember?" Zhu Biao muttered in his heart.

The black robe in the dream said, 'If you die, your son will die too! ', I wonder what happened to the original owner's son? Now that you've come to Fengyang, let's check it out.

After breakfast, Zhu Biao said he was going to worship his ancestors and invited Fourth Master Zhu to go with him.

Fourth Master Zhu: "!!!"

Liu Bowen advised: "I am afraid that the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers will be released." So he suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang build more seals and repair the surrounding environment of the cemetery. It is this renovation that gives the Zhu family's ancestral tomb the majesty and magnificence it has today.

The group arrived at the Zhu family's ancestral grave and saw that the cemetery was large and majestic.

"Then you would have died a long time ago." Li Hongyi blurted out.

Fourth Master Zhu looked around. The terrain here was undulating, with beautiful mountains and rivers. The Zhu family emperor's mausoleum was backed by rolling mountains. The mountains were winding like a dragon, as if a giant dragon was wandering across the earth, embodying endless royal aura. transport.

Zhu Yuanzhang had returned to his hometown to visit the tomb during the reign of King Wu. At that time, he even intended to move the tomb, but Liu Bowen dissuaded him in time.

After a while, she exclaimed and her expression changed drastically.

He planned to accompany Zhu Biao to worship his ancestors and then search for them in the mountainous areas around Fengyang. Once you find the place where you are buried, it will be easier to find who buried it.

Fourth Master Zhu readily agreed. He also wanted to go around Fengyang. He wanted to find the place where he was buried.

He came here this time to find out whether Xungui had committed any wrongdoing. Today he was going to hold a Hongmen Banquet and invite all the family members of Fengyang Xungui, as well as some fellow villagers and elders in the village.

"Quick, help me take a look."

"Really!" Master Zhu said with a serious face, "Check it for me and see where it is inserted."

Fourth Master Zhu asked anxiously: "Really? Where is it? Will it be fatal?"

……

"Your Highness, I will go for a walk around the area. You guys will go back first." Fourth Master Zhu waved.

"Can you pull it out?" Master Zhu asked.

"General Tang, this is the list carefully drawn up by Gu." Zhu Biao handed a list to Tang Shengzong and said solemnly, "Please be sure to invite these guests one by one. Gu will host a banquet tonight. They are all Gu." distinguished guest."

Tang Shengzong took the list and quickly scanned the names on it, feeling secretly happy in his heart.

The list clearly lists many relatives of Huaixi nobles, including his own family. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's invitation to them so solemnly is undoubtedly a kind of attention and recognition of the nobles.

"I obey!" Tang Shengzong respectfully accepted the order and left in a hurry without any delay.

After Tang Shengzong walked away, Zhu Biao's expression suddenly darkened. He turned to Ding Xiu beside him and said, "Ding Xiu, there is another list here. You can take the Jin Yiwei to invite them. Remember, we must We must avoid Tang Shengzong and the others and act in secret."

"Yes!" Ding Xiu nodded.

The reason why he came to Fengyang with a thousand royal guards this time was because there were some things that were not suitable to be left to the people of Tang Shengzong's governor's office.

"Be polite to me." Zhu Biao ordered, "Don't put on the intimidating attitude of your Jin Yiwei. If you scare Gu's guests, I will ask you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, it won't happen." Ding Xiu bowed, and he hurriedly retreated.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Biao's mouth.

With people from both parties present, tonight's Hongmen Banquet will be exciting.

... Mr. Zhu was speeding through the mountains and fields around Fengyang alone, but he couldn't remember where he crawled out from.

He flashed and landed lightly in front of a golden rice field. Looking around, the fields are already bustling with activity, and the people are busy harvesting rice, creating a scene of a bumper harvest.

However, these failed to touch his memories. He frowned and became more confused.

Why don't I remember? Everything that happened after leaving Fengyang was still vivid in my mind, except that the time when I escaped from Fengyang seemed to have been carefully erased.

Could it be because when that girl Wu Yu knocked me out last time, she happened to hit the spot where the golden needle was on my head? Caused me to lose some memories?
This is really possible!

It was also after that that I had nightmares. The images in the nightmare should be those of the original owner. The original owner was already dead at the time. How did these images become my dream?
It's possible that I had already traveled through time at that time, and because of that golden needle, I lost the memory of when I traveled through time.

"Brother, come and have a sip of cold tea and rest." A kind voice interrupted Mr. Zhu's thoughts. He looked up and saw an old man with his trousers rolled up and covered in mud in the pavilion in front of him waving warmly to him.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled slightly and walked over: "Fellow, are you busy harvesting rice?"

"Yes, we have to take advantage of the good weather these days to harvest the rice and dry it." The old man sighed, "I still have to pay rent to my employer. I'm afraid the remaining grain won't last until next year."

It turned out to be a tenant farmer. Fourth Master Zhu sat down on the stone bench: "Don't you even have any land at home?"

The old man smiled bitterly, picked up the gourd and took a sip of water: "This field used to belong to my family. But last year it was bought by Tang Jiaqiang and leased back to me for farming. What do you think this is?"

"How can you tolerate this kind of thing? Go to the government and sue them!" Mr. Zhu said indignantly.

"How can I sue the Tang Sheng family?" The old man said with a resigned look on his face, "That's all, as long as you don't starve to death."

"I'll count on my fingers and I'll see that your field can still be returned to you." Fourth Master Zhu said with a smile.

The old man laughed it off and treated it as a joke.

Fourth Master Zhu also picked up the ladle and took a sip of water. The mountain spring water was cool and a little sweet. Taking a sip on this hot day, he felt like he was drinking cold beer.

……

While the two were talking, an arrogant young man strode over.

His eyes swept across Master Zhu, and finally settled on the old man, with a sneer on his lips: "Old man Wang, someone has come to Fengyang in the capital recently. I'm warning you, no matter who comes to ask, you will It must be said that your family’s fields have been returned, do you understand?”

"Yes, yes, Butler Mu." Old Man Wang nodded in response.

"Hmph, if you dare to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you." Butler Mu threatened, with a strong chill in his tone.

"How dare I? Didn't none of those who went to Beijing to complain last year come back?" Old Man Wang muttered in a low voice, with a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.

"You know what's going on." Butler Mu nodded with satisfaction, a proud smile on his face.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled half-smilingly and raised his eyebrows at Butler Mu: "Well, this Butler Mu, I heard that the Crown Prince is here. How dare you do this?"

"Old man, who are you?" Butler Mu chuckled disdainfully, "In Fengyang, no matter who His Highness the Crown Prince asks, the result will be the same. The Crown Prince is still young. He thought that if he held a Hongmen Banquet tonight, he would He is so naive when he understands Fengyang’s situation.”

"How dare you say that to His Highness the Crown Prince." Fourth Master Zhu's smile became more playful.

"Old man, I think you are one of those so-called old men from the countryside, right? You want to stir up trouble, right?" Butler Mu said as he approached, "I think you are looking for death."

"Really?" Fourth Master Zhu stood up.

Swish!
With a crisp metallic sound, the six-foot-long knife in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed down hard.

"what--"

A shrill scream resounded through the sky, and Butler Mu's left arm was cut off, and blood spurted out like a gush of blood. He fell to the ground and rolled in pain, his face as pale as paper.

The old man Wang next to him was also frightened out of his wits by this sudden scene, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

"Tell me, why does the prince get the same answer no matter how he asks?" Fourth Master Zhu stepped on Butler Mu and asked coldly.

"Because everyone the prince wants to invite has been greeted in advance." Butler Mu looked horrified, "Including the old people from the countryside who were invited, they didn't dare to say a word."

"I see! You are too arrogant." Fourth Master Zhu smiled coldly.

scold!
He slashed with his sword and cut off Butler Mu's head. The old man Wang next to him was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

"Old man Wang, to be honest, I was sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to help you." Fourth Master Zhu said solemnly, "You listen to me, I will take you to meet the Crown Prince and take back your own land."

The old man Wang nodded tremblingly.

……

In Fengyang City, the palace.

Zhao Xuanzhen walked out of the room. She was wearing a simple and elegant dress, and her whole person exuded a lazy and noble temperament. She slowly came to the main hall, bowed to Zhu Biao, and lightly opened her lips: "Your Highness, the Fourth Master, has he not returned yet?"

Zhu Biao returned the favor and replied warmly: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, he said he wanted to walk in the mountains."

Zhao Xuanzhen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and asked: "Your Highness, do you feel that the Fourth Master has been acting strange recently?"

"What's so strange?"

Zhu Biao's heart tightened. He thought that Fourth Master Zhu had recalled something, and asked urgently, "Did he say anything to you?"

Zhao Xuanzhen shook her head: "That's not true. Didn't His Highness notice it?"

Zhu Biao thought about it seriously, frowned and said: "I didn't find it, he is quite normal."

Zhao Xuanzhen pursed her red lips, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Maybe I'm overly concerned."

She turned and left, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Zhu Biao didn't think much, he was going to prepare for the banquet tonight.

Zhao Xuanzhen came to Li Hongyi's room, knocked on the door and asked, "Miss Hongyi, can I come in?"

"Come in!" Li Hongyi's cold voice came.

Zhao Xuanzhen pushed the door open and saw Li Hongyi burying her head in front of the desk, without raising her head, and playing with some bottles with both hands.

She looked around, her eyes full of curiosity.

Li Hongyi suddenly spoke in a cold voice: "What do you want from me?"

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled apologetically, but Li Hongyi still didn't raise her head. She had to ask tentatively: "Did the fourth master look for you? Why did he look for you? Can you tell me?"

Li Hongyi finally raised her head, looked at her expressionlessly, and asked in a cold voice: "Why should I tell you?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Zhao Xuanzhen's beautiful face, and she was about to cry: "The fourth master has been having nightmares recently. I am very worried about him, but he doesn't tell me anything."

Li Hongyi looked coldly: "Oh, what does this have to do with me?"

Zhao Xuanzhen: "!!!"

Why is this girl so cold?
