The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

Upon hearing this, Empress Ma's face showed a hint of pride, and she smiled, saying, "This is exactly what Ming'er secretly gave me a few days ago."

"He was afraid I'd get bored staying in the palace all the time, and given my status, it would be inconvenient for me to go out, so he specially took a piece from his somersault cloud for me!"

After speaking, Empress Ma gently stepped onto the soft cloud, her skirt swaying slightly in the wind.

Yu'er looked up and saw this scene, and was immediately stunned.

Empress Ma was extremely beautiful when she was young.

Back then, the men who pursued her could stretch from the west side of the city all the way to the east.

Now that she has taken the Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Innate Pill, not only has her appearance returned to her youthful days, but she is now as beautiful as if she has been given a beauty filter, bright and charming!

At this moment, she stepped onto auspicious clouds, and a gentle breeze stirred her wide robes, making her look like a fairy descended from heaven.

Although Yu'er, who was standing opposite, was momentarily stunned and immersed in the Empress's unparalleled beauty, she ultimately did not forget her duty!

Seeing that the Empress was about to travel alone on auspicious clouds

Yu'er quickly snapped out of her daze and rushed forward to stop her, saying, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Empress Ma looked worried and said, "You heard it too. This morning and tomorrow, Ming'er went back to the palace twice. He not only kidnapped Mao Xiang, but also took Dai Yuanli from the Imperial Hospital."

"I think he must have encountered some danger outside. I'm a little worried, so I'm planning to go after him myself and keep an eye on him!"

If we're talking about who doted on Zhu Ming the most, it has to be Empress Ma!

She said she didn't care, but in her heart she wished she could fly to Zhu Ming's side immediately.

Upon hearing that the Empress was going out to find the Sixth Prince, Yu'er's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

"You are of noble birth; traveling on clouds is far too dangerous. You absolutely must not put yourself in danger!"

However, Empress Ma shook her head and said calmly, "It's alright, Ming'er has already taught me how to control the Somersault Cloud, it's perfectly safe!"

"You all return to the palace first. Do not make this public, and especially do not reveal my whereabouts to Chongba."

As soon as he finished speaking,

With a thought, Empress Ma launched herself into the air on the somersault cloud beneath her feet.

Yu'er watched the clouds slowly rise into the sky, stamping her feet anxiously below, but dared not disobey the Empress's orders.

They could only stand there helplessly.

Just like the incompetent husbands portrayed in movies,

Watching the auspicious cloud carrying the Empress fly away into the distance, he felt powerless to stop it.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared from around the corner of the corridor.

"What are you all doing standing here? Where's our girl...?"

This person was none other than Zhu Chongba, who was planning to go to Kunning Palace to find his sister.

As soon as Empress Ma left, Zhu regretted it.

He shouldn't have talked to the girl like that!

So after a brief moment of thought, he immediately chased after them.

However, what he never expected was that...

His empress, just like that brat Zhu Ming, flew away on a somersault cloud.

No, why does she have one too?

At this moment, it was as if a little figure appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, tearfully biting a handkerchief.

It's unfair, completely unfair!

Why does that brat only share good things with his mother?

I want a somersault cloud too!

……

And on the other side,

When Zhu Ming arrived at the destination, he immediately released Mao Xiang.

As soon as the sack was removed, the blinding sunlight hit him, and Mao Xiang instinctively raised his hand to shield his eyes.

Once he had adjusted to the light,

Mao Xiang lowered his arm, stood up from the ground, raised his head, and looked around.

The scene before him shocked him deeply, leaving only one thought in his mind:

Is this still happening in China?

Where did the Sixth Prince take him?

At this moment, Zhu Ming jumped down from the somersault cloud, slapped Mao Xiang's rump, and said with a grin, "Alright, stop standing there, I'm assigning you an important task!"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang, without even considering where he was, quickly bowed to Zhu Ming and said, "Sixth Prince, I do not know what wrong I have committed that led Your Highness to abduct me here?"

Zhu Ming shook his head and said seriously, "You haven't done anything wrong. I brought you here so you could help me with my work."

Upon hearing that he hadn't been asked to punish him, Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then immediately asked, "What does Your Highness wish me to do?"

Zhu Ming glanced at the quiet village before him, put his hands behind his back, and slowly explained, "I'm going to take Sister Miaoyun to deal with someone later."

"But the villagers in this village are all innocent people. I'm most afraid that as soon as I leave, someone will come and harm the whole village."

"So I plan to have you stay here and help me take care of this village until I return."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang immediately understood.

Oh, I see. But he had a small question in his mind.

That means no matter how good he is at fighting, he is just an ordinary military officer, unlike the Sixth Prince who possesses top-level supernatural powers like the Law of Heaven and Earth!

What if there are too many people coming from the other side and he can't beat them?

After all, his name is Mao Xiang, not some kind of War Wolf, and he certainly couldn't fight two hundred big men all by himself.

Therefore, Mao Xiang told Zhu Ming all his concerns.

However, Zhu Ming waved his hand and said confidently, "Don't worry, I thought of that a long time ago!"

After saying that, Zhu Ming took out a finger cot from his pocket.

It's the air pistol he won in the lottery this morning!

What? You're saying he already gave the air pistol to Xu Miaoyun? How come he still has one?

Zhu Ming never mentioned that he only won one air pistol in the lottery.

Mao Xiang looked at the small, dark tube in the Sixth Prince's hand, somewhat puzzled.

"Sixth Prince, what is this?"

"This is called an air pistol. It's a magical artifact that I created by chance. I'll leave it to you later for self-defense!"

As Zhu Ming explained, he put the air pistol on the index finger of his right hand.

After hearing this, Mao Xiang's expression turned somewhat amused.

He looked him up and down for a moment, his mind filled with suspicion.

This small, unremarkable object is not even as intimidating as his longsword. How can it be used for self-defense?

He couldn't help but voice his doubts: "Your Highness, it's not that I'm being paranoid, but this magical artifact looks rather small."

"Such a small object, can it really defend itself? You'd better prepare a long sword for me instead!"

Zhu Ming looked at him strangely and asked, "You don't want it?"

Mao Xiang shook his head vigorously, resolutely refusing, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't want it, but I'm used to swords and axes. You should keep such a small magic weapon for yourself."

Zhu Ming didn't speak, but slowly raised his right hand as if making a gun gesture, aimed it at an earthen wall not far behind Mao Xiang, and uttered a single word: "Bang!"

A powerful air cannon suddenly burst forth, whistling past Mao Xiang's ear.

A violent gust of air swept towards him, directly knocking his official hat off his head.

The wind made his eyebrows and eyes scrunch up, and the skin on his cheeks was distorted by the strong wind.

Boom!

A deafening explosion followed behind him.

The thick earthen wall was blasted open on the spot, sending dust flying everywhere.
