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

As soon as this word comes out,

Soldier A, who had been feeling his throat parched, suddenly narrowed his eyes and raised his voice in shock, exclaiming, "What? You mean General Xu's daughter has become a disciple of the Goddess Xuan Nu?!"

His chapped lips were wide open, completely forgetting that he hadn't had a drop of water in a long time and his throat was aching.

The soldier on the other side was so frightened by his sudden shout that he almost lost his mind.

She rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly, her eyes filled with terror as she looked around.

After realizing that no one was watching,

Soldier B finally breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily to him, "Why are you yelling so loudly!"

"What, how about I get you a megaphone so you can shout even louder, preferably so the whole army can hear you?"

Soldier A's face flushed red as he was covered, and he quickly raised his hand to pry the other's hand away, saying with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I got too excited and couldn't control myself."

"But... is what you're saying true or false?"

Upon hearing this, Soldier B looked displeased and said stiffly, "That was said by the son of my grandmother's daughter's neighbor's aunt herself. It's absolutely true. How could it be false?"

"Wait a minute, wasn't he just an uncle? How come he's an aunt's son now?"

Soldier A was completely bewildered by this complicated relationship.

Who are they talking about here?

"Hey, why do you always focus on the trivial details?" Soldier B frowned, looking impatient. "Who he is doesn't matter, what matters is that this is true!"

Seeing his unwavering conviction, Soldier A believed him and exclaimed excitedly, "My goodness! If General Xu's daughter really has become an immortal's disciple and cultivated immortality, then our tens of thousands of soldiers are saved!"

Upon hearing this, Soldier B's face instantly lit up with a sense of pride, his eyes brimming with arrogance.

As if it were not Xu Miaoyun who had become an immortal, but a family member, they unconsciously straightened their backs a bit.

His expression immediately turned serious. He leaned closer to the two of them and said in a low, solemn voice, "I'm telling you, I've only told you this. You must keep it a secret and never let anyone else know!"

Soldier A was puzzled and asked with a puzzled look, "Why keep this a secret? If it were me, and a celestial being appeared in my family, I'd want to announce it to the whole world so everyone could share in the joy and have a good time!"

"You're incredibly stupid!" Soldier B glared at him with exasperation, his tone urgent. "Who are you? And who is General Xu? You dare compare yourself to General Xu?"

"That was the first founding marshal of the Ming Dynasty, a man of illustrious military achievements, who had long since risen to the highest ranks of officialdom!"

"Now, with the added fact that he's a close relative of a disciple of a celestial being, if this news leaks out, wouldn't that be pushing the Commander-in-Chief into a fire pit!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Soldier A suddenly realized, "Oh! I get it! You mean the Emperor will be wary of General Xu, who holds significant military power and has a connection to the immortals, and will... "

"Shut up!" Soldier B jumped back several steps, his face pale, and frantically waved his hands, trying to deny everything: "I didn't say anything! I don't know anything! Don't blame me if you get caught!"

Soldier A wanted to complain, "Is it really that serious?"

But before he could say anything...

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out from the front of the column: "The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"

In an instant, the military camp, which had been whispering just moments before, fell completely silent.

All the exhausted, parched, and battle-stricken soldiers immediately stood up straight and quickly formed ranks.

Then, they all turned their heads to look ahead, their expressions solemn and respectful.

But what happened next surprised everyone.

General Xu Da, who everyone expected to walk proudly in the very center of the procession, was now walking humbly to the side.

At the very center of the procession walked a graceful and elegant woman, dressed in a magnificent gown, her gentle yet dignified features.

She was holding the hand of a bright-eyed, innocent-looking child, and a graceful, beautiful young woman followed closely behind her.

It was Empress Ma, the Sixth Prince Zhu Ming, and Xu Miaoyun, the daughter of General Xu.

The group walked leisurely and went straight to the stands in the square.

After standing still,

Xu Da quickly stepped aside and raised his hand respectfully, gesturing for the seat of honor: "Your Majesty, please take the seat of honor!"

Empress Ma gently shook her head.

She felt that all the credit for this achievement belonged to Zhu Ming, who had given her the top-tier magic weapon given to him by his master, which enabled the entire army to be saved.

Therefore, Zhu Ming should rightfully sit in this main seat.

So, Empress Ma gently bent down, picked up Zhu Ming from below, and placed the little guy steadily on the main seat in the center of the stands.

He then gracefully took his seat at the head of the side, his posture humble and gentle.

Seeing this scene, Xu Da couldn't help but sigh: Her Majesty the Empress truly dotes on the Sixth Prince.

Then, he composed himself, turned around to face the tens of thousands of soldiers below the stage, and spoke in a booming voice that resounded throughout the entire military camp.

"All soldiers, listen to my command!"

"Her Majesty the Empress and the Sixth Prince are fully aware of the hardships you have endured these past days, fighting bloody battles and facing dire straits!"

"It was thanks to Her Majesty and the Sixth Prince's swift arrival from afar that our entire army was saved from peril today!"

Xu Da paused, his gaze sweeping over the cracked, haggard, and weathered faces below, before continuing loudly, "This time, those Northern Yuan Tartars are not human."

"When the two armies clash, they dare not fight head-on with the iron-blooded soldiers of our Great Ming Dynasty, and instead resort to such insidious and despicable tricks!"

"They spread poisonous plants and released disease viruses everywhere, polluting all the water sources around us!"

"They attempted to trap and kill our army with poisonous water and plague, causing tens of thousands of our soldiers to collapse without a fight, succumb to the disease, and lie dead in the desert. Their intentions were extremely malicious and intolerable!"

"Fortunately, after learning of our predicament, the Sixth Prince did not hesitate to take out a top-tier immortal artifact given to him by his master, which broke our army's deadly water shortage and saved all of our lives!"

These words landed with a bang, and the audience erupted in a frenzy of discussion.

"Sixth Prince? Wasn't he supposed to be an immortal descended to save us?"

"Yes, isn't the Goddess Xuan Nu sitting right behind General Xu? Why isn't she saying anything?"

Someone recognized the elegant woman behind General Xu as the immortal who had just descended from the sky on auspicious clouds.

These people had hardly ever seen the Empress in their entire lives. Even if they had seen her a few times by chance, it was only when she was the former Empress Ma.

Now that Empress Ma has regained her youth, not only these soldiers, but even Xu Da didn't recognize her at first glance.

Therefore, they regarded Empress Ma as a celestial fairy who had descended to earth to save them.

Among the soldiers below, there were also some who were quick-witted and had extremely fast reactions.

After listening to what General Xu had to say,

After a moment's thought, I realized it instantly.

They immediately raised their heads sharply, their eyes fixed on Zhu Ming, who sat in the main seat on the platform, and Empress Ma, who stood dignifiedly beside him.

At that moment, everyone seemed to hold their breath.

No way, no way.

Could those two immortals on the stage be the Empress and the Sixth Prince?

Looking at the shocked and bewildered expressions of the crowd below the stage,

Xu Da slowly stepped aside, smiled calmly, and announced the final answer in a loud and clear voice: "Just as you all thought!"

"The one who saved my tens of thousands of troops from annihilation and relieved my dire situation of being cut off from water is none other than the Sixth Prince of the Great Ming Dynasty—Zhu Ming!"

He turned to the side, clearly and completely exposing Zhu Mingqing on the platform to all the soldiers.

At this moment, the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers below the stage were focused on only one person!

That is His Highness Zhu Ming, who is sitting upright in the main seat!
