Chapter 1411
"Damn that damned monk!"
"..."
After saying all this, Zhu Yuanzhang was still unaware of what he had said in his rage.
Zhu Di was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide with disbelief: "Wait! The prince in the white hat... my father... how does my father know all about this?!"
Zhu Di truly never expected this.
Now that things have come to this, he's discovered that his own father knew everything about him all along? Even things that should have been impossible for him to know eleven years ago?!
This is absolutely outrageous!!
Not only is it outrageous, but it's also incredibly bizarre!
How did my father find out? This is a secret known only to heaven and earth, and only to myself and Master Daoyan. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a third person who could know!
For an instant.
A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhu Di's back, soaking his inner clothes—not only because of the treasonous phrase "the king in a white hat," but also because... the fact that this matter came from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth was simply too chilling.
Seeing Zhu Di's terrified expression.
Zhu Yuanzhang then realized he had let something slip... well, he seemed to have inadvertently revealed something about his fourth son and that bald monk. Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang raised an eyebrow somewhat awkwardly, thinking to himself, "I lost control for a second, and made a careless mistake..."
But at the same time, he knew he had confirmed something else: "Sure enough... even that kid's 'white-hatted king' thing was true!"
At this moment, it wasn't just Zhu Di who felt a chill run down his spine; Zhu Yuanzhang felt the same way too!
He had already experienced firsthand how steady and cautious his fourth son and that troublemaking monk were. How could anyone know about such treasonous talk between the two of them? Yet, his eldest grandson knew all about these old stories!
How can this be? ?
But the reaction of his fourth son upon hearing this from his own mouth was enough to prove that it was true!
"Could it be that our grandson can communicate with heaven and earth, and know everything?"
"But why would he make such a wrong mistake, provoking Lan Yu and his restless group when the time was clearly not right?"
"Could there be some hidden story behind this?"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a bold idea, but he quickly felt that the idea was too bold—what secret could make his grandson, a boy who had never left the Eastern Palace, hold off this group of the most bloodthirsty bandits?
However... he still felt that this bold idea was impossible.
But a lingering doubt remained in my mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang's careless remark stunned the father and son, who were each lost in their own thoughts. They stared at each other, each with their own shock and musings.
For a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to come to his senses. He chose to put the matter aside, so he put the bamboo hat he had taken off back on his head and turned to head out of the courtyard: "Let's go! Go to the outskirts of the city to reorganize the troops!"
Although this unexpected little incident made him feel that something was off about the whole thing, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was something more to it, but...
His determination to lead his troops to Yingtian Prefecture never wavered.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to believe in Zhu Yunwen's abilities and skills, nor that he was unwilling to wait a little longer or anything, but rather... he didn't dare to wait for an unknown and uncertain miracle because of his overly bold idea.
—If this miracle had not occurred, the golden opportunity to rescue his own grandson, and even to save the Ming Dynasty which had just begun to recover, would have been missed.
So he has to put this matter aside for now.
Seeing that his father was no longer pursuing the so-called "King of White Hats," Zhu Di's anxious heart finally calmed down a bit. He quickly composed himself, pretending that nothing had happened, and followed along eagerly: "Yes, once the troops have assembled and reorganized, we will immediately march towards Yingtian Prefecture!"
The two hurriedly left the Prince of Yan's residence.
He mounted the two fine steeds that had been prepared for him in the mansion and galloped off towards the outskirts of Beiping outside the south gate.
