Chapter 207 Return to the Capital
"Mother, if possible, I also hope that you and my brother can go with me and Cheng Shifei! The throne will be given to whoever wants it! It is more important than anything else that we live happily together as a family!"

After looking at her mother Fang Huigui and her brother Prince Ming, Princess Yunluo spoke first.

It can be seen that Princess Yunluo and Master Cheng Shifei had already planned and discussed such a plan a long time ago.

"Wang Er, what about you?"

Princess Yunluo's answer disappointed her mother Fang Huiju, but after all, Princess Yunluo was just a girl, so although Fang Huiju was dissatisfied, she could still understand and tolerate it.

It seems that Fang Huiju has wrongly attributed right to wrong. Thoughts have nothing to do with education, but with people!
Otherwise, Yun Luo, as a princess of the royal family, would not have the same idea as Cheng Shifei, who came from a gangster family, and would not have peed in the same pot.

However, the focus now is on Ming Wang’s attitude and thoughts.

Therefore, Fang Huiqi stared directly at Ming Wang's son and asked in a deep voice.

"Mother, let Yunluo and Cheng Shifei go! I will stay and face the traitor Zhu Chengwu together with you!"

Prince Ming thought about it for a long time, and it was obvious that he was moved by Princess Yunluo's proposal.

Now the enemy and our own situation is clear, staying here means waiting for death.

Better to die than live!

The fear that death brings to people is unimaginable.

But in the end, King Ming forced himself to overcome the fear in his heart and demonstrated the spirit of a king who was not afraid of death.

"Okay, Wang'er! I wasn't wrong about you!"

After hearing Ming Wang's answer, Fang Huiju finally felt a little relieved.

All her careful teaching over the years was finally not in vain.

"Yunluo, Cheng Shifei, if you want to leave, leave as soon as possible! It will be too late if you leave later! But before you leave, I have something to tell you. Once you are caught, I hope you will commit suicide as soon as possible and don't lose the last bit of your dignity and face!"

Then, Fang Huiqi turned to look at her daughter Princess Yunluo and son-in-law Cheng Shifei and gave them such instructions.

"Mother, are you and my brother really not going to come with us?
Mother, if you are worried that we won't be able to leave even if we leave, then you don't have to worry. Cheng Shifei is very powerful. He will definitely be able to take us safely away from the sight of the traitor Zhu Chengwu, and no one will be able to find us!
Brother Wang, please help persuade our mother! You are still so young, do you really want to die like this?"

Hearing the conversation between her mother and brother, Princess Yunluo became anxious.

Over the past period of time, after realizing that the situation was beyond their control, Princess Yunluo and Cheng Shifei cursed Zhu Chengwu while thinking about escape routes and strategies.

However, Princess Yunluo did not expect that after she and Cheng Shifei had thought everything through, her mother and brother the prince actually refused their suggestion to leave with them.

This scene was not included in Princess Yunluo's calculations and plans.

In Princess Yunluo's simple thinking, as long as her mother Fang Huiju and her brother King Ming knew that she and Cheng Shifei had planned a retreat in advance, they would praise her and evacuate according to her and Cheng Shifei's arrangements.

Princess Yunluo is still spoiled!

She didn't even think about how brilliant the retreat and escape methods they could come up with could be, since she was a princess who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and Cheng Shifei was a low-level gangster.

If Fang Huiju and Ming Wang really wanted to evacuate, why would she and Cheng Shifei have to fight?

"Sister Wang, I am the Ming King! I cannot be a deserter!"

Looking at his sister Princess Yunluo who was hugging his arms and starting to act a bit spoiled and naughty in her anxiety, Prince Ming spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Fang Huiju had only one son and one daughter. In addition, there were intrigues among the male brothers in the royal family. Therefore, Prince Ming had deep feelings for Yunluo, his simple sister. He treated her very well and even spoiled Princess Yunluo to the point that she became a little ignorant of the immensity of the world.

Otherwise, Princess Yunluo wouldn't dare to repeatedly call Cao Zhengchun a castrated dog in front of him, and she wouldn't dare to hug the King Ming's arm and act like a spoiled child in the court hall...

All of this is just the sense of security caused by being favored!
"Okay, Yun Luo! Do you think you and Cheng Shifei can escape just because you want to? You may be underestimating the ability of the supreme grandmaster of martial arts!

If you and Cheng Shifei could escape with the childish method they used, I wonder how many people would have escaped long ago!

Although Zhu Chengwu is a traitor who plotted rebellion, he is also your elder who is connected to you by blood!

Relying on the connected bloodline and the might of the Supreme Grand Master, Zhu's disciples, as long as your uncle the Seventh Prince wants, no one can escape his pursuit!"

Fang Huijue sternly stopped Princess Yunluo from acting coquettishly and throwing a tantrum.

However, although these were words of blame, Fang Huiqi explained why she did not take Prince Ming and Princess Yunluo with her children and escape.

It can be seen that although Fang Huigui was dissatisfied with the choice of Yunluo and Cheng Shifei, she still liked Princess Yunluo very much.

People with deep minds like Fang Huiju and Ming Wang will always be more fond of and tolerant of simple people like Yunluo and Cheng Shifei.

Perhaps this is what it means that the more you lack something, the more you desire it!

"What? Mother, what do you mean by that?"

Hearing Fang Huigui's words, Princess Yunluo turned around in shock and looked at Fang Huigui.

If her mother Fang Huiju's opinion was followed, then wouldn't it mean that she and her brother Prince Ming were doomed to be hunted down by the traitor Zhu Chengwu as long as that traitor wanted to?

"Otherwise, why do you think that among so many people who changed their positions, the majority were from the Zhu royal family!
Don’t they know that with Zhu Chengwu’s strength and the rift between him and the Zhu royal family in the past, once Zhu Chengwu comes to power, their lives will be much more difficult than they are now?

It’s not that they don’t want to hide, but they simply can’t hide!”

Fang Huiqi explained again to Princess Yunluo.

This explanation was actually given by Fang Huiju to his son, King Ming.

The purpose is to tell Ming Wang's son that it was not that he did a bad job, but that Zhu Chengwu's military force was too strong. Under the threat of Zhu Chengwu's military force, he is now facing such a fate of being deserted by his friends and relatives.

It’s not that I didn’t try hard, it’s just that the enemy is too strong!

Don’t blame yourself too much!
"What the sister-in-law said is true!"

Seeing the inquiring look from King Ming, Duke Yan Zhu Chengyi affirmed Fang Huiju's words.

This is also the reason why Duke Yan never escaped.

If you are destined to not be able to run away, then why run?
...

"The capital of the Ming Dynasty! After forty years, I am finally back!"

Outside the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chengwu looked at the gate of the city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh. He left the capital at the age of 16, got married at the age of 25, became a master at the age of 28, and tried to return to the capital, but was stopped by the three great monks of Shaolin...

After that, twenty-five years have passed in the Elbrus Mountains, and Zhu Chengwu is now almost fifty-four years old!

It has been almost thirty-eight years since I left the place where I was born and grew up after my reincarnation!

Today, Zhu Chengwu finally returned to this place full of childhood memories.

It's true that I left home when I was young and returned when I was old!
"Yang Yuangao of the Yang family led 78 members of the main line to welcome Marquis Fu'an to the capital!"

"Bai Yongcheng of the Bai family led the Bai family's top Yin Gods and thirty-six leaders of each branch to welcome Marquis Fu'an to the capital!"

"Hu Yingchun from the Ministry of Works' Weaponry Department led 28 skilled craftsmen from the department to welcome Marquis Fu'an to the capital!"

……

Just as Zhu Chengwu was looking at the city walls and gates of the capital in front of him and sighing, a series of loud shouts interrupted Zhu Chengwu's thoughts.

In fact, these people have been paying attention to Zhu Chengwu's every move for a long time, looking for opportunities to show up in front of Zhu Chengwu.

Now Zhu Chengwu suddenly stopped and stood outside the gate of the capital, staring at the city wall and the gate in a daze. They began to speculate whether Zhu Chengwu was giving them, the families and forces that had not yet clearly surrendered, a final chance to change their positions.

With such considerations in mind, naturally some families and forces could not help but start to express their opinions, for fear of missing this last opportunity and being liquidated after Zhu Chengwu ascended the throne of Ming King.

As long as one force can't help but speak out and surrender, taking the lead, representatives of other forces will not be able to help but follow suit. After all, no one wants to be the force that doesn't speak out and is remembered by Zhu Chengwu.

Zhu Chengwu is too powerful. If they fall behind and miss the opportunity to surrender to Zhu Chengwu, they may become sinners of their own families and forces.

"Let's go!"

Zhu Chengwu frowned as his thoughts were interrupted. He no longer wanted to stay outside the city to sigh. He stepped into the gate of the capital.

Of course, during this process, Zhu Chengwu did not respond to any force that spoke up.

As Zhu Chengwu entered the capital, the surrounding streets immediately became extremely noisy, and all kinds of voices similar to the voices just outside the city gate kept coming into Zhu Chengwu's ears.

These are representatives of families and forces who are eager to express their surrender to Zhu Chengwu but cannot squeeze into the first group of people.

Everyone has their own circle!

Due to their lack of strength, even if they were to welcome Zhu Chengwu, a person with absolute power who could decide the fate of themselves and the forces behind them, they could not cross the limitations of the circle and become the first group of people to welcome Zhu Chengwu at the city gate.

Because once they cross the circle, they may be eliminated by the forces in the circle they have crossed before they meet Zhu Chengwu and get Zhu Chengwu's attention.

Of course, they could also take a gamble that as long as they went beyond the circle and met Zhu Chengwu in advance, they would be able to gain Zhu Chengwu's trust and be reused.

If that were the case, with Zhu Chengwu, the world's number one, as their backer, they wouldn't have to worry about being targeted by the forces in the circles they had crossed.

But how many representatives of various forces have the confidence that as long as they meet Zhu Chengwu in advance, they will be able to gain Zhu Chengwu's trust and be reused?
Do they dare to bet?
They don't dare!

You have to know that with Zhu Chengwu's current strength and status, there are too many people who want to surrender. Who to use and who not to use depends entirely on Zhu Chengwu's preferences.

But they can't control Zhu Chengwu's preferences!

Even if you want to be the first person to try something new and become the one who buys the horse bone at a high price, it is too late.

You should know that before Zhu Chengwu came to Beijing, many representatives of major forces and powerful people surrendered to Zhu Chengwu and joined his team.

In this situation, there is no benefit at all to cross the circle just to see Zhu Chengwu quickly!
Because many people surrendered to Zhu Chengwu and they all seemed very rational, Zhu Chengwu's entry into Beijing this time seemed very orderly.

This made Zhu Chengwu not look like a traitor who came to Beijing to force the current Ming King to abdicate. Instead, he looked like the real Ming King who had returned to the capital after inspecting the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, that Ming Wang was a Ming Wang who was deeply loved by the people!
Food and drink were provided, and the streets were lined with people welcoming them... It is no exaggeration to use this to describe the grand scene at that time.

This is the impact caused by absolute suppression of strength.

"Let's go! Let's go to the Ming Palace and meet some old acquaintances!"

Although the scene was lively and everyone welcomed them warmly, especially the unmarried women who came with their parents, who were even more enthusiastic.

But Zhu Chengwu was not affected at all, and his steps did not pause at all. He went straight towards the direction of the Ming Palace while talking.

Although Zhu Chengwu is over the age of 50, with his cultivation as a supreme grandmaster, he still looks like a young man in his twenties or thirties.

In terms of physical fitness, the Supreme Grand Master Zhu Chengwu surpassed all the young and middle-aged people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with his strength, status and temperament, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Chengwu is now the most handsome man in the Ming Dynasty.

Even though there is a huge age gap, because of his supreme grandmaster cultivation, even if Zhu Chengwu marries an 18-year-old girl now, maybe that 18-year-old girl will die of old age, and Zhu Chengwu will still be alive with his current appearance!
This fact also makes Zhu Chengwu the dream lover of many women in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhu Chengwu's age and appearance give him an advantage, which is the ability to cause damage over a large area.

In the Ming Dynasty, everyone from the age of sixty to the age of sixteen had room for fantasy about Zhu Chengwu.

The most handsome, the most physically fit, the most powerful, the most influential...

Just ask, who in the current Ming Dynasty can compare with Zhu Chengwu?

However, Zhu Chengwu also has a disadvantage, that is Cui Shuyun.

However, the wise kings of all dynasties have never married only one person, so that defect would not have much impact.

And once they marry Zhu Chengwu, not only will they be satisfied, but their parents and relatives will also be satisfied.

Unfortunately, all those beautiful ladies in the capital who have been constantly showing off their lust, purity, or tallness on both sides of Zhu Chengwu's path are destined to be disappointed!

Zhu Chengwu's basic technique is still the Tiangang Boy's Kung Fu, and Zhu Chengwu's goal has always been to reach the level of a grandmaster, without wavering.

For a man like Zhu Chengwu, women are not within his consideration.

"Zhao Qingya of the Zhao family has met my cousin!"

However, just when Zhu Chengwu was sneering at the vulgar people around him, a familiar figure with a veil on his face stopped Zhu Chengwu just as he was about to step into the Ming Palace.
