After leaving Empress Ma, Zhu Qi's legs and feet were a little weak. Although Xu Da wanted to take Xu Miaoyun back in person, he was a foreign minister and it was not convenient to go to Zhu Qi's palace. It was not realistic to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. Old Zhu is now busy dealing with Empress Ma's thunderous anger.

After thinking about it, Xu Da simply ordered Zhu Qi to come and said:

"If your highness is free, I'll send the little girl back to the house later."

Zhu Qi hurriedly said respectfully:

“It’s natural.”

How dare I be disrespectful? Not to mention that the other party was Xu Da, the first god general in the early Ming Dynasty, now he has become his prospective father-in-law. He will be his leader and his immediate boss for a long time in the future!

Zhu Qi is more respectful to Xu Da now than to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After saying goodbye to Xu Da, Zhu Qi hurried back to the bedroom and saw the beauty Xu Miaoyun still waiting for him, holding a colored version of the comic book "Mingshanhe" in his hand. It was a modern thing in Zhu Qi's backpack, so Xu Miaoyun was naturally amazed.

However, after seeing His Highness the King of Liao come back, Xu Miaoyun hurriedly put down the comic book and asked with concern: "What's going on with Your Highness?"

Zhu Qi told everything that happened before. Seeing Xu Miaoyun was not surprised, he asked:

"Sister Xu, did you know you were going to get married to me before?"

Xu Miaoyun's face turned red and she said softly:

"I just heard my mother talk to me today. The Queen asked about my mother's meaning."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

After asking this sentence, Zhu Qicai felt that it was nonsense. This was a feudal society in the early Ming Dynasty. Can you still fall in love freely? Besides, Xu Miaoyun obviously had a good impression of him.

"Of course I obey my parents' orders."

Sure enough, what Xu Miaoyun said was a standard answer.

Zhu Qi was also happy. He didn't expect that he would succeed in picking up girls for the first time in the Ming Dynasty, although the process was a bit tortuous.

Youdao means that people feel refreshed when they are happy, and Zhu Qi is happy. Even those dog-like noble children betray their own affairs, in Zhu Qi's opinion, it is no big deal. While sending Xu Miaoyun home, he talks and laughs with Xu Miaoyun.

Although Zhu Qi is not very eloquent in modern times, in the era of generally dullness in the early Ming Dynasty, he was definitely the king of love words. He casually said a few words and flirted with Xu Miaoyun.

Just kidding, Zhu Qi is blessed by the three halos of talented man, prince, and handsome man. A woman who can control her must have not been born yet!

However, when Xu Miaoyun heard that Zhu Qi was going to the northern border, he was very worried. He often asked about the northern border along the way, and even vaguely revealed that he did not want Zhu Qi to go to such a dangerous place.

Although Zhu Qi was reluctant to go, he still looked worried about the country and the people on his face, and he said in a deep voice:

"Although my Ming Dynasty was established for seven years, the Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed for a day, and the world could not be peaceful. As a man of the Zhu family, how could I be the prince of Taiping behind people?"

Zhu Qi said something very righteous, and Xu Miaoyun didn't need to say much. While being shocked, he had already classified Zhu Qi as the hero of ancient times.

As he bragged, he arrived at the gate of Duke Wei's mansion. Zhu Qi bowed and planned to leave, but suddenly he was stopped by Xu Miaoyun. He turned around and saw Xu Miaoyun, a wonderful man, hesitated for a moment, and still smelled:

"Your Highness, isn't the Taoist priest really true about the matter of the jade pendant being in love?"

Xu Miaoyun actually felt that it seemed fake in her heart, and she couldn't help but throw this question out.

Zhu Qi keenly realized that this was a question between giving a question and favorable question. Honest answers and deceiving and lying were wrong options. Zhu Qi didn't hesitate and said directly:

"I don't know that the jade pendant is in love, but my feelings for Sister Xu are really no longer true. No matter whether this jade pendant is true or false, it is a bond between you and me, and I will keep it for the rest of my life."

Xu Miaoyun was pulled back by the maids while moaning. Zhu Qi also wiped the sweat from his forehead, as witty as me.

—————

In the next few days, Zhu Qi had no chance to see Xu Miaoyun again. Naturally, the marriage had been decided. According to customs and rules, we could not meet casually before getting married.

The children of nobles did not live a good life, and being beaten is indispensable. Some people were beaten a lot, such as Xu Zengshou.

After all, he led the King of Liao and a group of noble children to the house to steal women. After all, Xu Da could not hide it from Xu Da. Good guy, he did all such things, and there was no need to say much about the fate.

Since then, I haven’t seen Xu Zengshou for a long time. In May, Li Jinglong came to the Royal Entertainment Center and said, “Xu Zengshou has been beaten again.” Two days later, “Xu Zengshou has been beaten again!”.

I didn't say anything after that, and even Li Jinglong didn't pick up Xu Zengshou.

Zhu Qi has not seen him until now - maybe Xu Zengshou was indeed beaten to death.

When I thought about this, the dog-like Xu Zengshou appeared happily.

"You haven't been beaten to death by your father?"

Zhu Qi's rebirth of Xu Zengshou was not gone. He had shouted the most fierce one before, "I won't betray His Highness the King of Liao!" but in the end he was the first to rebel.

Xu Zengshou smiled awkwardly and said:

"Your Highness, you can't blame me. My father asked me but I didn't say a word, but the emperor asked, that would be different."

"Okay, okay, you have it."

As soon as Zhu Qi finished speaking, he saw Xu Zengshou coming over and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, don't be angry. Let me tell you about it. Your Highness is going to follow my father to Datong, Northern Xinjiang."

Zhu Qi thought it was, and immediately said, "I've known about this."

"Ah? It turns out that your highness knows everything. Then, you know the news that Li Jinglong and Li Qi, I, will you, too?"

"Ah?" Zhu Qi was stunned and said, "I don't know this, but why do you three have to follow you too?"

Xu Zengshou immediately raised his chest and said:

"Your Highness, don't look at us like this. We may not be very good at reading and writing, but we have never fallen into martial arts practices on weekdays. I rode a horse and shot archery, and I didn't make any mistakes within thirty steps!"

Looking at Xu Zengshou's awesome look, Zhu Qi didn't know whether he was really that powerful, but he was obviously very sad about the matter of going north and asked a lot.

Zhu Qi had no information. On the one hand, he did not deliberately inquire. On the other hand, he was about to leave Yingtian Mansion and follow Xu Da to Datong to train troops. The business of Yingtian Mansion must be arranged, such as copying "Journey to the West" and handing it over to Manager He.

In addition, the craftsmen have made great progress, but there are still some details that need to be dealt with. According to the words of Chen Chuwu, the chief craftsman, this ink printing machine can be released in just two months!

Of course, they did not invent and created, but were only made based on the drawings of His Highness the King of Liao, but it was a bit difficult to mass produce. Many parts were not made with existing technology, and they could not make molds, so they could only be made by hand.

Unfortunately, Zhu Qi was about to leave and could not see the final finished product as soon as possible. He instructed the craftsmen to build more ink printing machines, which would be of great use to them. The rest would have to wait until they came back.

As for why Xu Zengshou and the others had to follow him, Zhu Qi realized after thinking about it. This was Zhu Yuanzhang who was deliberately cultivating the younger generation.

"Do you know when we will set out?"

Zhu Qi asked Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou replied:

"The Ministry of War has issued a document and notice, and the food, grass and supplies are all ready. If nothing unexpected happens, we should leave in mid-May."

It's been a few days.

Zhu Qi and Xu Zengshou were talking here, and Zhu Di hurried in at the door, his face full of joy, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Zhu Qi:

"Third brother! Third brother!"

When Zhu Qi saw Zhu Di's excited look, he asked him what happy events he had. Zhu Di's face was full of joy and said:

"Dad agreed. This time I went to Datong to train troops, so I can also go with my third brother!"

Good guys, Li Jinglong, Li Qi, and Xu Zengshou, all three came, and even Zhu Di wanted to come with him.

All the "brothers" are here!
Chapter completed!
