Before dawn, the inn by the river was busy, and the merchants and porters all got up one after another to gather their goods and prepare to set off.

As busy as the merchant and the porter, the monk who slept in the inn lobby for a night also set off, and when he came, the innkeeper also gave him a bowl of gruel.

At this time, it was the weather in March, compared with the cold in the north, this Zhejiang has seen a little spring, but even so, when the north wind blows, there is still some cold, wearing a shabby monk robe, just holding a bamboo pole, slowly walking forward.

Occasionally, a merchant would pass by his side and ask him if he wanted to take a car to rest, and the monk just smiled and shook his head to express his gratitude, and when he saw that the merchants had regained the clothes of the Han family, there was a little smile on his face.

Under the still biting cold wind, the monk walked on this road for more than an hour, the snow on the side of the road is still not melted, along the way, whenever he touches the tea shed, he will go in to ask for tea, by the way and those tea sheds in a few words, it seems to be asking something, but everyone seems to have no defense against this monk.

As he listened to the men talk about the family, the monk had a smile on his face and occasionally interjected a sentence.

"I said monk, if my guess is right, you must have become a monk because you didn't want to shave your hair back then!"

"But no, now it's the world of the Ming Dynasty, why do you treat yourself so poorly, it's just to return the vulgar!"

"It's been so many years since I became a monk, and I'm used to it!"

"Hey, monk, what else can you have if you are still vulgar, just like the son-in-law of Master Hu in our village was also a monk in the temple in the past, not only did he return the vulgar a long time ago, but he also married the daughter of Master Hu, and just added a big fat boy the year before last......"

The person who spoke also looked at the appearance of a twenty-something, with a black face, wearing a shabby cotton coat, with a loyal and honest look, turned his head to look at the monk and said:

"Monk, you look like a person who has read a book, why can't you think about it?"

The man's words were as if he had given the monk a slap in the face, and then he pondered for a moment, and then asked:

"Where is this little benefactor's house?"

The young man dressed as a porter smiled and said:

"Monk, but I want to meet that person, it's a coincidence, you go three miles to the south, he is working as a teacher at the Tang Village's old man's house, his surname is Wang, his name is Wang Shiyuan."

Seeing that the monk still seemed a little uneasy, he said again.

"Monk, you can rest assured, even if you return the customs, you can continue to live this day, not to mention, isn't this world already our Ming Dynasty."

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, the monk who seemed to be in a heavy mood did not speak, and even lost the spirit of chatting with others, and after drinking tea, he said goodbye to everyone and walked in the direction of Tang Village.

The others looked at the back of the monk, and they also shook their heads and sighed,

"Alas, look at the appearance of this person, maybe he was also famous back then, and it was all made by dogs and tartars......"

"No, God bless the country to defeat the dog Tartar, and when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty returns to the court, the world will have a good life......"

The monk naturally didn't know the words of the people behind him, he walked halfway, met a few passers-by, and asked about the location of Tang Village, and then continued to walk forward. After arriving at the location of Tang Village, it was almost noon, after asking the location of the private acquaintance in the village, the monk walked towards the private acquaintance, which happened to be out of class, and met more than a dozen children from the room, and after the children left, the monk saw a young man in his twenties.

Wang Shiyuan also saw the monk standing in front of him, looked at the monk's ragged clothes, hurriedly showed a smile, and took the initiative to invite.

"The master came at the right time, this is the time to eat, if the master does not dislike the coarse tea and light rice here, it is not too late to leave after the meal!"

For Wang Shiyuan's invitation, the monk naturally did not refuse.

"In this way, it disturbs the donor."

Just as Wang Shiyuan said, the rice is indeed coarse tea and light rice, a bowl of rice, a plate of pickles, a plate of vegetarian fried radish, during the meal, the two began to talk about scriptures and Buddhism, but slowly talked about the article, and then talked about current affairs.

“…… When the monk came from Jiangbei, he passed by Zhongdu and heard that General Zhu allocated tens of thousands of taels of silver to order the Fengyang magistrate to repair the imperial mausoleum, but it is a pity that the tomb of the first emperor is not in the south of the Yangtze River......

The "two Zhu generals" in the mouth of the Dingyi monk, the former is naturally Zheng Chenggong of Nanjing, he was given the national surname, and also called himself with the national surname Zhu, and the other is Zhu Mingzhong, the Jianghuai Economic Envoy. Aware that although Wang Shiyuan wanted to hide it, the reddish eyes still revealed his inner emotions.

"The two generals Zhu are both loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and now Jiangnan can recover the great tomorrow, thanks to the two generals Zhu! When the capital is restored in the future, the first emperor will be able to look down on the nine springs."

By drinking tea, Wang Shiyuan blocked his reddened eyes with a teacup.

"How can the first emperor be blind?"

Putting down the teacup, Monk Dingyi shook his head and sighed,

"Do you want to break into the Kou and enter the customs in the past, and after this drastic change, the whereabouts of the heirs of the first emperor are unknown? In this way, even if the world is restored in the future, how can the first emperor turn a blind eye? ”

Seeing that Wang Shiyuan seemed a little sad because of these words, Monk Dingyi said intentionally or unintentionally.

"When the little monk was in Jiangbei, I heard that General Zhu ordered people to explore the descendants of the first emperor, and I heard that there seemed to be some news......

Then he said in a relatively calm tone.

"There was a squire surnamed Wang who reported to the government office that his father had taken in the first emperor, which is also a coincidence, because the squire called his father and renamed him Wang Shiyuan......"

"Ah...... You, you ......"

Wang Shiyuan, who was still immersed in that sadness, heard this, as if a thunderbolt exploded in his ears, he jumped up from his chair and looked at each other in horror.

"Ding, Dingyi, you, who are you!"

Looking at this shabby monk in horror, Wang Shiyuan never thought that one day someone would reveal his identity in front of him, he was very frightened, and his eyes were even more staring at the door, with the intention of snatching the door and fleeing. Don't look at Dingyi, who has already stood up and blocked the door, his face is full of panic.

"Under is Li Decai, the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army, who was ordered by General Zhu of Jianghuai to go to Jiangnan to explore the descendants of the first emperor, please forgive me for concealing it before!"

Staring at Wang Shiyuan, who wanted to get out of the door, Li Decai, who had been pretending to be a monk for a month, didn't expect this task to be so easy, he found the target as soon as he arrived in Yuyao, but he thought about it, after all, Jingluo had already provided him with a lot of information.

He is the heir of the first emperor?

If he guessed correctly, it must be him, otherwise how could he be frightened because of these words, there is no blood on his face.

And it doesn't matter if it's right or no, for him, it's the completion of the task that counts. This mission was directly deployed, and even his immediate boss, Jun Zhengcheng, did not know the purpose of his visit.

Although the person who came had already identified himself, Wang Shiyuan still looked like a gray face, and he looked at the person in front of him and muttered.

"Why, why don't you want to find me, you, you will let go of the next ......."

Even when he sat on the boat and looked at his wife and children in the cabin, Wang Shiyuan still looked sighing, he didn't believe the words in Li Decai's mouth at all.

What will not hurt him in the slightest, what will ensure his safety, in his opinion, is just a pretext, even until now, the "pseudo-prince case" of the Hongguang Dynasty still affects his judgment, in his opinion, with the Yongli Emperor there, how can Zhu Mingzhong protect his safety.

Put the son who had fallen asleep on the bed, Wang Hu looked at Xiang Gong a little timidly, although Xiang Gong told her not to worry, but from his face, she didn't see Xiang Gong's panic, since the two got married, in the past few years, he will always wake up in nightmares, until these few months, it can be regarded as a solid sleep, but who knows, the day before yesterday suddenly received a letter from Xiang Gong, asking her to take the child to the dock.

"Xianggong, let's, where are we going?"

Where are you going?

Facing Wang Hu's words, Wang Shiyuan just shook his head and sighed. As for him, he also didn't know where to go.

Li Decai, who happened to open the curtain and enter the cabin, immediately smiled after hearing this.

"Hasn't Brother Wang told his sister-in-law? Presumably, Mrs. Wang's wife also knows that Brother Wang's family is in Jiangbei, no, the younger brother is invited by an old friend in Brother Wang's family to invite Brother Wang home! ”

Go home?

looked at Li Decai in astonishment, seeing the expectation in his wife's expression, although he was very bitter in his heart, Wang Shiyuan still nodded and said.

"yes, go home, go home......"

Go home!

Can I go back to that home?

All night, Wang Shiyuan never slept, lying on the bed, what came to his mind was the scene after entering the city when he rebelled, not only the last meeting with his father, but also the despair after being sacrificed by his uncle, but more than ten years of panic. Even if he marries a wife and has children, but that identity is there, he still always wakes up from nightmares, especially after his son is born, he is afraid that he will affect his wife and children.

A few years ago, after this Yuyao returned to the Ming Dynasty, he originally thought that he would always be able to settle down, after all, no matter who is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will not really go to the descendants of the first emperor, as long as he keeps it secret, he can no longer be as worried as in the past, but life is more difficult, so what's the matter?

But who would have thought that someone would finally find the door!

"Brother Shizhang, why are you doing this?"

Thinking that General Zhu actually knew his name, Wang Shiyuan naturally thought of Wang Shizhang, who had kicked him out of the house, and only thought that he had asked General Zhu to send someone to the door in order to ask the government for merit.

"I hope, I hope ...... I hope he is really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty! ”

A few days later, when the ship arrived in Changzhou along the Universiade, as soon as he arrived at the wharf, Wang Shiyuan heard that today was the day of the great joy of General Zhu......
