Chapter 77
Marshal's Mansion, the courtyard of the mansion.
In the early morning, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had recovered from his illness, got up early to exercise for the first time in a long time.
His hands were either moving or lifting the stone lock, struggling with strength, his head was sweating profusely, and his back was wet with sweat.
Suddenly, without any sound, heavy white mist emerged, forming the Gate of White Mist.
Wang Ming drove Xiao Zhao out slowly, got out of the car, and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I haven't seen you for a year, but it's okay."
"Ming...Wang Ming, you are back, you are back!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang rushed up and grabbed Wang Ming's arm with a sad face.
"I regret that I didn't listen to you. I regret that I didn't do it before. We were wrong. We were wrong. We didn't listen to you and let Liu Bowen go."
"We were wrong, we know we were wrong."
"We are so ugly... we are so ugly..."
"We regret not listening to Liu Bowen's words, which caused my adopted son Hua Rong to die tragically at the hands of that damn Chen Youliang!"
"We have no choice but to..."
"It's so ugly. Look at what we did! It's so ugly that you can't even look at it!"
"We have always wanted to be a man who stands upright."
"Now I understand that standing up to heaven and earth must be exchanged for the humiliation of the crotch."
"We really..."
Zhu Yuanzhang rambled for a long time before finally venting his frustration in front of Wang Ming.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader, there has never been such a weak show of complaining in front of others.
Now when I see Wang Ming, who I haven't seen for a year, he suddenly breaks his guard and expresses his feelings.
Only Wang Ming was special, and only in front of him was Zhu Yuanzhang willing to reveal his bitterness.
After hearing the causes and consequences, Wang Ming also felt that what Zhu Yuanzhang did was a bit unreasonable.
But, that cannot be said.
Wang Ming laughed and started to fool, no, he was advising Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Why did the superior say this? Ugly? What kind of ugliness is this?"
"The so-called successful people do not stick to trivial matters."
"Throughout the ages, all men who have achieved great things have had these secret pasts."
"As long as you don't lose anything, it's okay."
"As for Liu Bowen, it's enough for you to retain him twice."
"Let's invite him a third time, and we'll make sure we can invite him again."
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard that Wang Ming was going to invite Liu Bowen back.
"Seriously? Oh my, that's great, that's great. With Wang Ming's help, Mr. Liu will definitely come back."
"That's great, that's great."
"Without further delay, I'll go now."
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he got on the battery car again, thinking about Liu Bowen silently in his heart, and the layers of white mist suddenly poured out again.
Just as he was about to leave, Wang Ming seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhao, who was standing quietly beside him, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"By the way, this is Xiao Zhao. Her practice with me has hit a bottleneck recently. I want her to practice in the world for a while. You can arrange something for her to do."
"Okay, no problem."
Wang Ming nodded lightly and rode his bike into the white mist. In the blink of an eye, the white mist shrank and dissipated, and the person was gone.
"Oh, brother Wang Ming is back."
"Chongba, why did brother Wang Ming just come back and leave again?..."
Ma Xiuying appeared in the courtyard at some unknown time, followed by her maid Yu'er. It was the first time that Yu'er saw this, and she looked at the place where Wang Ming disappeared with a look of shock.
"Sister, you are here."
"It's okay. Wang Ming is helping us go to Qingtian to invite Liu Bowen back."
"With him taking action, Liu Bowen will definitely come back."
"Oh, it's better now, and our heartache is gone."
"Sister, by the way, you have seen this Miss Xiao Zhao, how about letting her manage the internal affairs with you?"
Ma Xiuying nodded, then shook her head.
"Sister, what do you mean? You are nodding and shaking your head."
Ma Xiuying did not reply, but first turned to look at the maid Yu'er behind her.
"Yu'er, don't tell anyone what you saw today, you know."
Yu'er kept nodding her head.
"Chongba, then I will tell you directly."
After saying that, Ma Xiuying smiled at Xiao Zhao and said.
"Miss Xiao Zhao is a close friend of Brother Wang Ming, how can she be allowed to work in the inner palace?"
"Ah, this, this...yes, we are confused."
The inner palace is Zhu Yuanzhang's inner palace, which will be the inner courtyard of the palace in the future.
"Well, Xiao Zhao, look, how about you just follow the madam and not enter the inner palace for now?"
"Sure, from now on let Miss Xiao Zhao help me manage the affairs of the Constitutional Department, run errands, and convey some things. Miss Xiao Zhao, do you think this is good."
Xiao Zhao Bingxue was smart and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying.
"Yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, madam. Please take care of me in the future."
"Okay, come on, Yu'er, take Miss Xiao Zhao to the Constitutional Department to get familiar with her first."
After Yu'er took Xiao Zhao away, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down as if he was relieved and didn't speak for a long time.
Ma Xiuying thought for a while and suddenly said.
"I didn't expect Wang Ming to come back. He is a divine figure, a dragon that sees its head but never its tail. He actually came back at this critical moment. Sure enough, Chongba, you are very lucky."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands with a wry smile upon hearing this.
"Yes, we have great luck, but I'm afraid we won't cherish it."
"Sister, let's be honest in front of you. A year ago, every time we saw Wang Ming, we felt panicked and were always a little afraid of him, because we knew that he was a fairy. In front of him, we would show off.
I cannot bear the majesty of a superior."
"Every time we are in front of him, we have to think twice about what we say."
"You don't know how happy we were when he said he was leaving a year ago, as if we were sending away the god of plague."
"Before he left, he specifically told us that Li Shanchang was available and Liu Bowen had credible comments, but we didn't listen!"
"The result was good. Liu Bowen was squeezed out by those generals. By the way, Li Shanchang also had his share... We regretted it later. We failed to retain Liu Bowen twice. Liu Bowen told us to be careful both times.
Chen Youliang, we didn’t listen..."
"We regret it. You don't know how anxious we were during this period."
"In the past year since Wang Ming left, we have discovered that we have lost more and more confidence and become more and more... Oh, yes, Wang Ming said that we are getting more and more bloated..."
"After that damn bastard Chen Youliang killed Hua Rong, and we realized the seriousness of the matter, how inflated we were before, how discouraged we are now..."
"These days, we are not sick, we are just discouraged. It was only today that we managed to regain our strength. It is only now that Wang Ming is back that we feel confident..."
"I just hope Wang Ming can successfully bring Liu Bowen back."
"We finally understand."
"A fairy like Wang Ming will not stay in the human world for long. He will disappear for a year and a half from time to time. When he is here, we feel aggrieved, and when he is gone, we feel that we have no confidence."
"Liu Bowen is better. He has a great talent, and he is a great talent who can really help us conquer the world."
"We...we are finally convinced."
Zhu Yuanzhang talked a lot, and Ma Xiuying nodded from time to time.
Until the end, when Zhu Yuanzhang said that he was convinced, Ma Xiuying shook her head slightly.
They are an old couple, and she understands that Zhu Yuanzhang is only temporarily convinced, but with his temperament, he may not be convinced in the future.
The reason is very simple. Zhu Yuanzhang said that he always felt aggrieved in front of Wang Ming and lacked the majesty of his superiors.
This is a contradiction that can never be reconciled.
She is a strange woman and understands what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang is.
Zhu Yuanzhang can never surrender to anyone.
Including her.
