Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 117 The calm before the storm

And this news comes from a very respectable old man who has been against Zhu Yuanzhang for half his life, so it is absolutely reliable.

"So, their brothers are all right?" Goatee Shi Chenglu said happily. He is the introducer of the Hong brothers. If they have problems, he must take responsibility.

"Yes. The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. If there is a problem with all of this, what else is not a problem?" The leader's nonsense literature was still in full play:

"You can safely recruit them into the religion."

Guardian Cao said with some regret: "Oh, I thought it was a big fish..."

"Why isn't it a big fish?" Shi Chenglu said with joy, his beard straightened up: "All of their brothers are talents, not to mention the special skill of acting, just talking about Hong Hao's natural supernatural power, Hong Bin's both civil and military skills, and Hong Ji's martial arts Gao Qiang, Hong Yan, who has great medical skills, and the youngest Hong E, he, he...he is the best at eating."

"In short, if King Ming can get help from their brothers, he will be even more powerful!" Shi Chenglu gave a very high evaluation, of course, to show off his good vision.

"Go and talk to them." King Ming thought for a moment and said with a sense of inferiority, "But after all, they are the sons of King Cheng and Gao Qi. I'm afraid it will be difficult to accept them if they are allowed to join the Ming Cult rashly."

"It's not up to them!" Protector Cao snorted.

"Hey, since his brother is the queen of King Cheng and Gao Qi, it will be of great benefit to us in our next mission in Jiangnan." But Protector Shi looked at it from afar and said: "We must make them submit willingly, so that they can play their greatest role. .”

Then King Ming said with great certainty: "Since they are the sons of those two men, they will join us sooner or later."

"King Ming is really far-sighted!" The two guardians blew the conch at the same time.

~~

After coming out, Protector Shi decided to talk to Hong Ji, whom he admired most.

"Uncle Shi, what's wrong?" Zhu Di walked in.

"Come, sit down, I have something to do." Shi Chenglu asked Zhu Di to sit down and made him a cup of tea: "We know that your brother drives pigs in a small alley - he has a straight-forward temper. So he won't go around in circles."

"That's best."

"After following us for so long, you must know what we do, right?" Shi Chenglu looked at Zhu Di steadily.

"I know." Zhu Di nodded, but his heart was pounding. No matter how brave and resourceful he was, he was only sixteen years old after all.

"Relax, we Mingjiao don't eat people." Seeing his tense expression, Shi Chenglu couldn't help but smile: "In fact, we didn't even eat meat."

Zhu Di nodded and said softly: "Eating vegetables is the devil."

"We are actually serving Mani. The Demon King slandered Mani by the previous dynasty." Shi Chenglu made a habitual excuse, then waved his hand and said: "Now believers can't even eat meat, so those things don't matter anymore."

Zhu Dixin said, this is still due to my father.

"Brother You, what do you think of our Mingjiao?" Shi Chenglu threw out another proposition.

"Very, very good." Zhu Di could still speak, so he could only compliment: "Making decisions for the people and doing justice for heaven. Very, very promising..."

"Hahaha, are you willing to join this promising career?" Shi Chenglu's next words made him stunned.

"Ah, I, we..." Zhu Di's mouth went dry for a while, he picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and said sarcastically: "We are just a bunch of bad actors, I'm afraid, I'm afraid we can't do anything else."

"Hey. Zhu Hongwu is still a beggar. His background is not lower than yours, but he has become the emperor? So, princes, generals and ministers would rather have their own kind." Shi Chenglu patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said:

"Xiaoji, let me tell you straight - our King Ming admires your brother very much and intends to recruit you to join the religion. Don't miss this opportunity to change your destiny."

"This..." Zhu Di was worried that if he refused, the other party would fall out again. I didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It seems that you can't make up your mind on your own. Then go back and discuss it first. Don't rush to reply." Fortunately, Shi Chenglu was easy to talk to and said with a considerate smile: "Our Mingjiao only recruits like-minded people who have a bright mind and will not force anyone to do so." Someone else joined.”

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it." Zhu Di nodded hurriedly.

"Aren't you anxious to go home and see the crops? The carriage has been arranged for you and you can go back at any time." Shi Chenglu said surprisingly generously:

"Go home and think about it carefully. I'll visit you later and just give me an answer."

"Hey, okay." Zhu Di agreed.

~~

Zhu Di went back confused and told the brothers the content of the conversation.

The brothers also looked confused.

"A few days ago, it was as if we were afraid that we would run away, so why are you letting us go again?" The third child felt that there was a trick. "We can't keep letting them lead the way."

"I saw, the carriage is waiting outside." Zhu Di said in a low voice, "How about you stay here by yourself and we go back first?"

"Fuck you..." Zhu Bai glanced at him and changed his words: "No matter what, I didn't say anything, it's a good thing to let us go back."

"No, that's right." Zhu Xi nodded, and immediately ordered to go down, quickly pack up and prepare to run away.

As for Protector Shi's invitation to join the cult, he was automatically ignored by his brothers.

The people of Mingjiao did what they said. Not only did they arrange a carriage to send them back, Goat Beard also prepared a cart full of all kinds of goodies, saying that they were thank you gifts from King Ming.

The brothers were eager to return home. After thanking them, they quickly ran away.

It wasn't until they were far away from Wuli Temple that they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why did they change their gender?" Zhu Di asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"I've been listening to what they said lately, and it seems like they're going to do something big in the near future." Zhu Zhen, who was on the back of the cow, shook his head and said, "Maybe he's afraid that we'll get in the way."

"So kind?" Zhu Di didn't like it very much.

"Who knows." Zhu Zhen also shrugged his thick eyebrows. "I'm afraid I have to ask Prince Ming to find out."

"Oh, you should actually agree to join them." Zhu suddenly complained to the fourth child: "This way we can know their plans and help the government take preventive measures."

"I asked you to stay just now and you refused." Zhu Di glared.

"Don't I respect everyone?"

"No, it's just an afterthought."

The brothers had long turned a blind eye to the daily quarrels between the two.

However, Zhu's words also made them realize more or less that they still cherished their lives.

Right now, their harvest has far exceeded expectations.

The truth I heard, saw and learned during this trip was enough to stir up a storm in the court. It is estimated that it can also help Fengyang people and those poor civilians improve their situation.

That's enough... right?

Go back and wait to harvest the rice. This experience will be a perfect ending...right?

Let’s not add any more extraneous matters…

But that's not possible.

This is just the last calm before the storm.
