Factory owner is king

Chapter 21 No.20

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a resounding "retirement" announced the end of today's morning court.

After the civil and military officials under the steps knelt on the ground and shouted long live, they watched Zhu Yuanzhang's leaving back respectfully.It wasn't until Zhu Yuanzhang's back completely disappeared that the civil and military officials slowly stood up from the ground, walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in twos and threes, and headed outside the palace.They are very happy today, everyone has a smile on their face, talking and laughing all the way.The reason is very simple. Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be in a good mood. He has not killed people every now and then, and the jade belt on his body has been placed on his belly all the time.

Outside the Chengtian Gate, Lan Yu walked up to her red horse, grabbed the mane, turned onto the horse's back, her movements were still sophisticated.Different from the joy of the surrounding ministers, Sapphire's face was a bit sad.

"Grandpa, shall we go back to the mansion?" Sapphire's personal soldier held the bridle beside the red horse and asked with his head raised.

"Mountain climbing" Sapphire said.

"Ah?" The soldier didn't hear clearly.

"I said I want to climb a mountain." Sapphire looked down at her own soldiers and raised her voice slightly. "I'll go alone, you go to the mansion and ask that Xu Ruyi to wait for me at the top of Qixia Mountain."

"Yes" the soldiers clasped their fists and agreed
"Remember to ask him to bring some food and wine," he ordered again, the blue jade whip whipped the horse, and headed towards Qixia Mountain outside the city.

Lan Yu said that he asked Xu Ruyi to wait for him, but he was riding a horse, so how could Xu Ruyi be faster than him.

On the top of Qixia Mountain, the noisy autumn wind blows on Sapphire's face, making him feel very refreshed.This is the highest point of Qixia Mountain, just overlooking the entire Nanjing city.Sapphire has three hobbies in her life: wine, knives, and high.Drinking spirits, wielding long knives, and the so-called high is to climb high.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be in a good mood these days, Lan Yu always felt a little uneasy.This is a wonderful intuition honed on the battlefield.Lan Yu always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang looked at her with cold eyes, a little cold.Not only looking at himself, but also looking at Fu Youde, Wang Bi, and Feng Sheng beside him.

"Maybe it's an illusion." Sapphire shook her head, suppressing the uneasiness in her heart.

A crisp voice suddenly came from behind "Grandfather" Sapphire,

'Is that the kid here? '

Behind Sapphire, Xu Ruyi knelt on the ground respectfully, beside a large food box and a jar of Huadiao wine.

Sapphire turned around slowly, "Get up, the ground is cold."

"Grandpa Xie" Xu Ruyi stood up from the ground.

"You are Xu Ruyi, right?" Lan Yu looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "You and your father don't look alike."

"Um" Xu Ruyi scratched her head and asked, "Do you know my father?"

"I don't know." Lan Yu was taken aback, then waved her hand, "Didn't you say it yourself? You have dark skin and a burly figure. Look at you, you have a pretty face."

"You're lying" Seeing Lan Yu's unnatural expression, Xu Ruyi concluded that Lan Yu must have misunderstood him as someone's son.

Lan Yufu turned around again, turned her back to Xu Ruyi, and looked at the city of Nanjing under the scorching sun.

Xu Ruyi didn't speak either, but just watched quietly.

Lan Yu looked at the city of Nanjing, but what he was thinking about was the scene when the brothers first met. At that time, he, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhu Yuanzhang, Tang He, etc. were all members of the White Lotus Sect. .Thinking about it now, no matter the official position or status at that time, they all seemed a bit nondescript. Some were kings, some were leaders, some were called generals, and some were called Dharma kings.But at that time, everyone worked together and fought to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty.Later, the few of them gradually showed their prominence, and were appreciated by King Xiaoming and the commander-in-chief.Xiaoming Wang is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Han Lin'er, and the commander-in-chief is Liu Futong. In essence, all the members of the White Lotus Sect should be under the jurisdiction of the two of them.

Lan Yu didn't have a deep impression of King Xiaoming, but Liu Futong was a commander in chief at the time, so his feelings for these generals were true.There are blessings and hardships together, this sentence, Liu Futong did it.Unfortunately later. . . . .

The kindness of knowing you is the hardest to repay.

"Marshal, I will take good care of your descendants," Sapphire said to herself secretly.

In fact, there is no direct connection between Xu Ruyi and Liu Futong for Lan Yu to confirm her identity.But Xu Ruyi's description of his father's appearance is indeed a bit like Liu Futong, and he knows some simple military skills, plus that poem that sees through the flashy poems. nostalgia.This is completely a subconscious hope, he hopes that Xu Ruyi is the son of the handsome, so that he can make up for the guilt and regret in his heart.

After a long time, Lan Yu said, "You... how have you and your father been doing these years?"

Xu Ruyi thought for a while before replying, "Back to my father-in-law, Ruyi and my father have been hunting in the mountains for a living. In my spare time, my father would make me read and write, and teach me some principles of life. But we rarely go down the mountain. Usually, after saving some furs, we take them down the mountain together to exchange for some daily necessities..."

Xu Ruyi has never experienced this kind of hunter's life, but it's like this, if you haven't seen pork, you've seen pigs running.

"Oh..." Lan Yu sighed, turned around, and looked at Xu Ruyi softly, "Are you hungry, what delicious food did you bring? Let's eat together."

"Yes" Xu Ruyi cupped her hands, squatted on the ground and began to tidy up.Open the food box and take out the same dishes from inside.The dishes he brought were not complicated, they were all hard dishes like sauced meat and fat chicken.He also brought two other bowls and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Sapphire respectively.These were all prepared by the housekeeper, who seemed to be very experienced.

On the top of Qixia Mountain, Lan Yu and Xu Ruyi sat on the floor and shared lunch.It seems that what Lan Yu said about Liang on the ground before was just a casual concern.Neither of them ate in a hurry, even a little slowly.Most of the time, Lan Yu was talking, talking about everything from all over the world, but most of the things he talked about were Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng when he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.Talk about your admiration for Xu Da, and also talk about your disagreement with Liu Bowen, that big turban. After talking a few words, he drank a sip of wine, and said a few more words, and drank another sip of wine.Xu Ruyi kept nodding in agreement, maintaining proper etiquette, most of the wine went into Lan Yu's stomach, Xu Ruyi just ate a lot of meat.Sapphire's speech was a little disorganized, saying something here and there, saying whatever came to her mind.Why did he tell Xu Ruyi this?Xu Ruyi didn't know, but he heard the care and love in Lan Yu's words.

I don't know when it started, Lan Yu's eyes became a little drunk, and her voice became louder: "I think back then, Zhu Chongba and we were just small leaders in the sect, and Tanghe was the biggest, and he was a commander. Marshal Liu appreciated and promoted us, gave us a chance, and King Xiao Ming also trusted us a lot. Marshal Liu has a lot of culture and martial arts, and King Xiao Ming is more righteous than the sky..."

Lan Yu drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and motioned to Xu Ruyi to continue pouring the wine, "Afterwards, the world will be settled. I'm a rough man, but I'm not stupid. I always feel like something has changed, I can't tell, But I just know. In the past, everyone ate a lot of meat, drank heavily, cried and laughed, and rushed upwards desperately during the battle. Then, later, they became estranged, and their eyes were not right with each other."

Sapphire's words were somewhat incoherent, but it didn't affect understanding.

"Commander, I'm sorry for you," Lan Yu suddenly shouted, the loud voice echoing on the top of the mountain, "But don't worry, Lan Yu will take good care of him."

Sapphire's voice was choked with sobs, and then she drank the wine in the bowl again.This time it was useless for Xu Ruyi to pour any more wine, he lifted the wine jar himself, poured all the remaining wine into his mouth, then threw the wine jar and screamed to the sky.

'So you think of me as Liu Futong's descendant?' Xu Ruyi finally understood.

Lan Yu and Xu Ruyi ate this meal for three hours.When they returned to the mansion, it was almost Xu hour.Both of them were a little drunk, so they went back to their room to rest early, and didn't even eat dinner.

As if nothing happened that day, Xu Ruyi lay on the bed, thinking of a lot.He thought of his parents who left him early in his previous life, he also remembered the bloody and dark experience he had joined the club shortly after graduating from university, and he also remembered the pressure, threats and his own struggles he had felt since time travel.Gradually, these heavy memories faded away, only Lan Yu's words on Qixia Mountain remained: Lan Yu will take good care of him.

Xu Ruyi really wanted to tell him, "You've got the wrong person."

But in the end he accepted the wrong care, because he felt that he really needed the care that made him feel warm.

Xu Ruyi suffered from insomnia, and he was at a loss as to the path he was going to take next.
