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

"Who is it? Who's so inconsiderate as to blow up my toilet?"

One of the villagers had eaten a bit too much, so he picked up a few twigs from the ground and hurriedly ran to the toilet.

He had just squatted down and hadn't even had a chance to exert any force when an explosion suddenly came from behind him.

He was so scared he almost fell into the cesspool!

When the sound stops,

He turned his head and was completely dumbfounded.

Who was the scoundrel who blew up his toilet?

No, to be precise.

It was the wall behind him that had been blasted open, leaving a hole about half a person's height.

The wind howled as it poured into the cave, making his entire backside feel chilly.

The villagers were instantly filled with rage. They jumped to their feet, not even having time to pull up their pants, and were about to start cursing at the top of their lungs!

Just then, a somewhat immature and apologetic voice came from not far away.

"Um... I'm so sorry, I didn't know this wall was your toilet. I'm really sorry!"

The villagers looked up at the sound.

Upon closer inspection, the speaker turned out to be the Sixth Prince, Zhu Ming.

The anger on his face vanished instantly, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly put on an excited smile.

"Oh my, it's His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"Look at my mouth, always spouting nonsense, I deserve a beating!"

"Since it was His Highness the Sixth Prince who did it, it must be because my wall is unacceptable to him. Good riddance, blow it up as you please!"

"If Your Highness needs any help, please just let me know. We'd be happy to tear this whole place down!"

He stood naked from the waist down in the ruins, head held high, looking as if he were proud of himself.

Of course, this wasn't because he had any special fetishes, like being so happy that his house was bombed.

It was because the one who took action was the savior of the entire village, and also the Sixth Prince whom he respected most from the bottom of his heart.

In the eyes of the villagers, it was a privilege to be "favored" by the immortal lord who possessed unparalleled supernatural powers.

Even if the Immortal Lord blew up his house, it would still be something to boast about.

Otherwise, with so many houses in this village, why did the Immortal Lord choose only his house instead of others?

It's all because His Highness has me in his heart!

Seeing this, Zhu Ming was both amused and exasperated. He offered a few words of comfort to the villagers and promised to find someone to help him repair the wall later.

This finally calmed the agitated villagers down.

Then, Zhu Ming turned around and looked up at Mao Xiang beside him.

Before he could even speak, Mao Xiang's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud, a fawning smile instantly spreading across his face.

"Sixth Prince, is it too late for me to regret this?"

He admitted that he had been faking it a bit earlier!

If he had known that the magic weapon His Highness gave him was so powerful, he should have accepted it immediately.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be regretting it so much now!

Zhu Ming looked at Mao Xiang's eager face, a smile playing on his lips, and deliberately teased, "Oh? Who was it that complained that this magic weapon was too small and unreliable, wanting to exchange it for a long sword?"

Mao Xiang's old face instantly turned bright red, and he obediently lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was blind just now and was just putting on an act. I hope Your Highness will not laugh at me."

Fortunately, Zhu Ming wasn't a petty person; he took the air pistol from his hand and casually tossed it to him.

This terrified Mao Xiang.

He had just witnessed the power of this thing firsthand; a single shot could blast a large hole in a thick earthen wall.

If it were to accidentally fire and hit me on the head, wouldn't I be able to treat the whole village to a feast right there and then?

"Sixth Prince, be careful not to accidentally fire!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly took it, carefully holding the air pistol in both hands, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Zhu Ming laughed and said, "There's no need to be so nervous. This magic weapon is controlled by will. As long as there is no intention to attack in your mind, it will not be activated at will."

"You only need to remember to protect the village for me and not to harm the innocent."

Mao Xiang nodded hurriedly, his expression solemn, and said, "Your Majesty, I understand! I will be extremely cautious and would never dare to act recklessly!"

However, there was one more thing that put him in a rather difficult position.

"Your Highness, I still have a difficult matter on my mind."

"I am not an ordinary guard, but the newly appointed head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard prepared by His Majesty. There are still many important matters in the capital that await my return to handle."

"If we remain confined to this village for too long, it may hinder our official duties."

Although Mao Xiang claimed to be preoccupied with official duties, he was actually worried about something else entirely.

He was afraid that if he stayed away from the capital for too long, His Majesty would hand over the Embroidered Uniform Guard to someone else, and he would suffer a huge loss!

Zhu Ming reassured him, "Don't worry, it won't take too long. It'll only be a day or two at the latest."

If it only delays you for a day or two, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, a look of joy immediately spreading across his face. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness! I will certainly defend the village to the death and protect all the villagers. I will never fail Your Highness's trust!"

"Alright, I'll leave this place to you. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, Zhu Ming led Mao Xiang to Xu Miaoyun and the villagers, and loudly addressed them:

"Fellow villagers, now that the disaster situation here has been resolved, please rest and recuperate here with peace of mind."

Upon hearing that His Highness was about to leave, the villagers' faces instantly showed reluctance.

If it weren't for the Sixth Prince's help today,

I'm afraid that many more people in their village will starve to death.

At this moment, Wang Cheng'an stepped forward from the crowd, cupped his hands to the Sixth Prince, and said, "Your Highness has shown us immense kindness and virtue by saving the lives of our entire village. We have not yet had a chance to properly thank Your Highness, how can we allow you to leave now?"

Others echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, we haven't properly thanked Your Highness yet."

"Your Highness, it's almost noon. Why don't you have lunch before you leave?"

Seeing the sincere and moved expressions of the simple and honest people, Zhu Ming's face was gentle. He gently raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then spoke:

"Gentlemen, there is no need for such formalities. As a prince of the Ming Dynasty, I am entitled to the nation's bounty and bear the burdens of the people's suffering."

"Protecting the peace and stability of the people and relieving their suffering is my duty, and there is no need for thanks."

As soon as this word comes out,

I don't know what expressions the common people had, but Mao Xiang was completely stunned.

He stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, at the gentle and refined Zhu Ming.

No, is this still the same Sixth Prince who usually likes to be mischievous and naughty?

If it were Crown Prince Zhu Biao who said these words, Mao Xiang would not be surprised at all.

But you must say that these words were spoken by the Sixth Prince!

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it even if you beat me to death!

Zhu Ming's gaze swept over the crowd, then he said, "Gentlemen, I have important matters to attend to during my departure!"

"You all saw what happened just now, when Zhang Dekai brought a bunch of thugs to the village and caused trouble!"

"This man is narrow-minded and has committed many evils. If we let him go, he will surely come back to take revenge on everyone and wreak havoc on the village."

Upon hearing this, most people nodded in agreement, but some were indignant and raised their voices in protest.

"Sixth Prince, we are not afraid of him. If he dares to cause trouble again, I'll break his legs!"

"That's right, including me. This bastard has bullied Lin Xiu'e and her daughter to such an extent. I've disliked him for a long time."

"Damn it, good people don't live long, but bad people live a thousand years. How come this son of a bitch is so lucky?"
