Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Yunwen, started by resurrecting my grandmother.

Suzhou military camp.

Zhu Yunwen and Wang Yuemin descended on angels.

In Chang Yuchun's military camp, Zhao Ning'er was overjoyed to see Zhu Yunwen return.

She wanted to throw herself into Zhu Yunwen's arms, but to her surprise, Wang Yuemin was also with him.

This infuriated Zhao Ning'er.

She pointed at Zhu Yunwen and said, "What exactly did you go back to do? I was worried sick about you every day, afraid something would happen to you. I never expected you to be with this woman again."

It seems you two really have consummated your marriage; otherwise, you wouldn't be so inseparable.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuntong realized that Zhao Ning'er had misunderstood, and quickly explained to her, "Ning'er, things are not as you think. Let me explain."

"You don't need to explain. Facts speak louder than words. Seeing is believing. I saw it with my own eyes. What else do you have to explain?" Zhao Ning'er said angrily.

Wang Yuemin felt embarrassed: "Miss Zhao, things are not as you think. You have really misunderstood."

Zhu Yunwen then recounted the whole story to Zhao Ning'er.

Zhao Ning'er was skeptical after hearing this.

She put her hands on her hips and said, "I just don't understand, how did she know you were arrested and imprisoned in Beiping?"

She gave me a sachet, which emitted a special fragrance.

It can travel very far on the wind, and only she can smell it. If she smells this scent, she can find me.

As Zhu Yunwen spoke, he took the sachet out of his bosom and handed it to Zhao Ning'er.

Zhao Ning'er took it in her hand and looked at it, her face turning bright red with anger.

She discovered that the sachet was indeed exquisitely crafted, and it was clear that Wang Yuemin had put in a lot of effort to sew it.

Zhao Ning'er returned the sachet to Zhu Yunwen and sneered, "You two are really romantic. You gave her the Seven Star Sword, and she gave you a sachet. Isn't that exchanging tokens of love?"

It seems I'm the one who's superfluous.

I'm leaving now, going back to find my mother.

Zhao Ning'er burst into tears at this point, then turned and left.

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen no longer cared about Wang Yuemin's feelings.

He quickly caught up with her and grabbed Zhao Ning'er's hand.

At this moment, Zhao Ning'er was furious.

She abruptly shook off Zhu Yunwen's hand: "Yunwen, you don't need to do this. Go and keep her company. I'm heading home now."

"Ning'er, don't be stubborn, okay? Let me explain."

"I won't listen." Zhao Ning'er returned to her tent, packed her belongings into a bundle, slung it over her shoulder, mounted her horse, and rode away.

No matter how Zhu Yunwen called after her, Zhao Ning'er didn't turn her head.

Zhu Yunwen was sweating profusely with anxiety, but he was at a loss for what to do.

He had no horse with him, so he just watched Zhao Ning'er ride away on her horse.

Zhu Yunwen was extremely depressed; he hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

At this moment, Wang Yuemin came to his side leading a horse, handed him the reins, and said softly, "Go and chase after her."

Zhu Yunwen mounted his horse and chased after him for a while, but failed to catch up.

Zhu Yuntong recounted his journey back to Chang Yuchun.

Chang Yuchun was also deeply saddened upon hearing this.

He stroked his beard and sighed, "I never expected that we would fight among ourselves!"

If Zhu Di found out about this, would he be finished?

It seems there will never be a day of peace in this world.

"There's nothing we can do now that things have come to this."

"You've done your best, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Just then, a soldier walked in from outside, holding a letter in his hand, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this is a letter."

Zhu Yunwen felt strange, wondering why someone would write him a letter while he was here.

"Give it to me, let me see!"

"promise!"

The soldier handed the letter to Zhu Yunwen and left.

Zhu Yunwen's expression changed drastically after reading the letter.

Chang Yuchun noticed his expression was off and asked, "Yunyi, what happened? Who wrote the letter?"

"Chen Zuyi and his men have arrested Zhao Ning'er and are now forcing us to surrender."

"Is that so?"

Chang Yuchun inquired about what had happened, and Zhu Yuntong recounted the events truthfully.

"You've made a mess of things. Go and invite your father-in-law over right now."

Zhao Sili was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

However, he did not blame Zhu Yunwen: "I will immediately lead two hundred servants to fight them. I will do everything I can to rescue Ning'er."

After saying this, Zhao Sili walked out.

Chang Yuchun stopped him: "Old Zhao, don't be impulsive, calm down first. Chen Zuyi and his son Chen Shiliang have tens of thousands of pirates. What use are your two hundred men?"

"Then I can't worry about all that anymore."

Chang Yuchun helped Zhao Sili to a seat: "Sit down first, and we'll discuss it further."

Zhu Yunwen looked ashamed and said, "Father-in-law, this is all my fault."

Zhao Sili waved his hand: "You haven't done anything wrong, and besides, it's pointless to say anything now."

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment. "At this moment, if we were to fight Chen Zuyi and his son Chen Shiliang head-on, it would definitely not work. That would put Ning'er in danger."

Chang Yuchun and Zhao Sili nodded, agreeing with Zhu Yuntong's point.

"We'll have to ask Tie Xian for help again."

Donglai, Haikou.

On the large ship.

Chen Zuyi sat in the center, surrounded by numerous pirates.

At this moment, two pirates pushed Zhao Ning'er forward.

Zhao Ning'er's arms were bound.

Chen Zuyi waved his hand, and the two pirates retreated several meters away.

Chen Zuyi looked at Zhao Ning'er and asked, "You are Zhao Sili's daughter, Zhao Ning'er?"

"Exactly." Zhao Ning'er raised her head.

Chen Zuyi gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well done, like father, like daughter!"

We set a trap, originally intending to capture Zhu Yuntong and Chang Yuchun, but we ended up capturing you instead. It's like choosing the path to hell when there's no way to reach it.

"You pirates, all you do is sabotage others behind their backs, what kind of heroes are you?" Zhao Ning'er cursed angrily.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zuyi, protecting the document with his hands, laughed heartily: "That's well said! Well then, I'd like to ask you, last time Zhu Yunwen disguised himself as an old man, claiming to be coming to join us, but he lured us to Panlong Ridge and almost wiped out our entire force."

What kind of behavior is Zhu Yunwen exhibiting?

Is he using underhanded tactics?

"You can only blame yourselves for being too stupid. You couldn't even see through such a simple trick."

Chen Zuyi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the cabin: "Fine, fine, whatever you say makes sense. You really have a silver tongue."

Chen Zuyi carefully examined Zhao Ning'er. He saw that Zhao Ning'er was tall and slender, with a curvaceous figure, fair skin, a beautiful face, and a pair of bright and lively eyes.

He walked up to Zhao Ning'er, stopped, and cupped her chin with his right hand: "Hmm, she really is a beauty. No wonder my son is so infatuated with her."

However, to Chen Zuyi's surprise, Zhao Ning'er suddenly opened her mouth and bit his right wrist, tearing off a piece of flesh with her teeth.

"Ouch, that hurts so much, you brat! Men, drag her out and kill her!" Chen Zuyi was furious and embarrassed. At this moment, the two pirates were about to grab Zhao Ning'er again.

"Consider yourself lucky. If I had bitten your neck, I would have bitten your throat off," Zhao Ning'er glared fiercely at Chen Zuyi. "No need to push me, I can walk by myself!"

Zhao Ning'er was not afraid at all and walked out with her head held high.

At this moment, one of the pirates, Shi Jinqing, quickly advised, "Leader, you mustn't do this. She still has a use."

"If our people are captured by the Ming court, we can use her in exchange. Furthermore, Zhao Ning'er is in our hands; we can send a message to force Zhu Yunwen to surrender."

Chen Zuyi thought about it and agreed, saying, "Wait, don't kill her yet, lock her up for now."

"promise!"

The two pirates agreed and took Zhao Ning'er away.

night.

A slight breeze was blowing, and the waves crashed against the shore one after another.

Hundreds of warships were lined up along the coast.

Chen Zuyi was sleeping in the cabin with a bandage wrapped around his right wrist. Zhao Ning'er's bite almost killed him, making him wince in pain.

At this moment, a junior pirate ran up to him and reported, "Boss, there is a man on the shore who claims to be Zhu Yunwen and is hurling insults at the enemy."

Chen Zuyi found this intriguing and asked, "Are you sure you saw clearly? Was it just him alone?"

"That's right, just him alone."

Chen Zuyi felt humiliated. Zhu Yuntong had disguised himself as Wu Da last time to come and join us. What was he up to this time?

"Let me see!"

Chen Zuyi, dressed in his finest attire, led a large group of pirates onto the deck of the ship.

By the light of the torch, he looked down and indeed saw a man on the shore gesturing and shouting, "Chen Zuyi, you come out here!"

"Zhu Yunwen, what are you doing here all night, acting crazy?"

"I want to ask you, what have you done to Zhao Ning'er?" Zhu Yunwen put his hands on his hips, head held high and chest puffed out.

Chen Zuyi raised his right wrist, which was wrapped in gauze, and said to Zhu Yuntong, "See this? This is all thanks to Zhao Ning'er. She bit off a piece of my flesh."

Zhu Yunwen was also taken aback upon hearing this, thinking to himself that Zhao Ning'er was far too audacious. Chen Zuyi was like a tiger's tail—untouchable.

"Release Zhao Ning'er immediately, or else you'll be sorry!"

Chen Zuyi was both amused and annoyed, and asked, "Just you alone?"

"I am enough on my own!"

Chen Zuyi sneered and said, "You truly are Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, extremely arrogant and conceited. You simply don't take me seriously at all."

Brothers, follow me down to capture him!

"promise!"

Zhong Haidao agreed.

At Chen Zuyi's command, the pirates surged toward the shore like a tidal wave.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Yunwen turned and ran!

Chen Zuyi sneered, "I thought you were so capable, but you're just a runaway general. You think you can escape? No way! Chase after him!"

Chen Zuyi led his men and chased after them.

They had run for about ten miles and were about to catch up with Zhu Yunwen.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen mounted a crane and flew into the sky.

Chen Zuyi was secretly alarmed upon seeing this and asked those around him, "What kind of bird is Zhu Yunwen riding?"

Shi Jinqing said, "I think it looks like a crane."

Chen Zuyi was completely baffled: "How could there be such a divine bird in the world?"

How could it possibly listen to Zhu Yunwen?

Just as Chen Zuyi returned to the large ship, a junior pirate rushed up to him in a panic and reported, "Boss, something terrible has happened!"

Chen Zuyi's head was buzzing. He asked, "What happened now?"

Just now, a woman dressed in black witch's robes, leading a unicorn, rushed onto the warship.

That unicorn has already killed dozens of our brothers.

"What? Such a thing happened? Immediately have Chen Shiliang gather archers and shoot that woman dead!"

"promise!"

The young pirate agreed and turned to leave.

It turned out that Zhu Yunwen and Wang Yuemin had split up into two groups.

Zhu Yuntong directly attracted Chen Zuyi's attention.

Then, Wang Yuemin led Fu Bao onto the warship, and it seemed that Wang Yuemin was about to find Zhao Ning'er.

At this moment, Chen Shiliang arrived with two hundred archers, their dark arrows aimed at Wang Yuemin.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yuemin let out a whistle and jumped into the sea with Fu Bao.

It turned out that Fu Bao was an excellent swimmer, and Wang Yuemin rode on its back and quickly swam to the center of the sea.

A moment later, Zhu Yunwen rode on an angel and rescued Wang Yuemin and Fu Bao, who then returned to the Suzhou military camp.

Zhu Yunwen wrote a letter, then took out a carrier pigeon and tied the letter to its leg.

The carrier pigeon spread its wings and took flight.

Fifty li outside the north gate of Jinan City lies Zhu Di's military camp.

Zhu Di and Tie Xian had fought several times, but Zhu Di had not gained the upper hand.

He was very depressed, so he summoned Yao Guangxiao, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Neng and others to discuss countermeasures.

Zhu Di sat in the center.

He looked worried: "No wonder people say that Tie Xian is amazing, a man who is skilled in both literature and martial arts. Seeing him today, it is indeed true."

Zhu Gaoxu, unconvinced and indignant, bowed and said, "Father, in my opinion, Tie Xian is nothing special."

"Father, please give me another ten thousand troops. Tonight at midnight, I will launch another surprise attack on Jinan and I will surely take it."

Upon hearing this, Yao Guangxiao quickly stopped him, saying, "Gao Xu's bravery is unmatched!"

However, Tie Xian is no pushover either. We have been fighting for several days, and they have made ample preparations.

Therefore, there is no chance of victory if we launch another surprise attack on them tonight.

Zhu Gaoxu's large eyes widened in disbelief: "Does this mean our 100,000-strong army is halted because of a mere city like Jinan?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "This time we are using a feint attack. On the surface, we are crossing the Yellow River at the river crossing to support Zhu Yunwen and his men in fighting the pirates."

In fact, we concentrated our forces in Jinan, intending to create a breach there so we could advance unimpeded. We never expected Tie Xian to be so formidable, repelling our numerous attacks.
