Seeing the young people scatter and return to their respective homes, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to go back to his small courtyard, walked a few steps, but his figure flashed, and he got into the grove on the side of the road, and then ran a few steps to catch up with the nine young people in Xigu Village.

"Huh? Brother Zhu, do you have anything else? The nine young people were a little surprised, how did they separate, and Zhu Bugling came to find him again? With their understanding of Zhu Bugs, there must be something important for them to do.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said to them: "I came to you because there is something that can only be handed over to you to do, because among all the people, I trust you the most." ”

"Huh? What does Bugling Zhu trust the most? The nine young people suddenly became excited, for them, it was really a happy thing to be so trusted by Zhu Bugs, they couldn't help but be a little moved, and the corners of their eyes were a little moist.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the small ravine where the glazed tiles were buried, and said in a low voice: "The glazed tiles are buried there, which is quite unsafe." There are 35 of us, if any of us are greedy, and when we are not there, one person comes back and secretly digs up the glazed tiles, it will be very bad. ”

The nine young people were relatively simple and enthusiastic, they didn't expect this at first, but when Zhu Yuanzhang said this, they remembered it and immediately said: "That's right!" If anyone really does such a thing, it is betraying everyone, not brothers. ”

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "The person who did this kind of thing betrayed our brother sooner or later, so I hope that the nine of you can take turns to monitor that small ravine." If anyone comes back while we're all away and wants to dig up the glazed tiles......"

Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately hung behind him and didn't say anything, but deliberately forced out a faint murderous aura to guide their thoughts, and the nine young people were guided by his qi machine, and snorted coldly: "That's not simple, this kind of person who betrays his brother is not qualified to live in the world, we will kill him...... Doesn't he like glazed tiles? Hmph, bury his body next to the glazed tiles to make him comfortable. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the shoulders of the nine young people in turn: "You deserve to be my most trusted brothers......

With his compliment, the nine young men felt an indescribable feeling of comfort, rising from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. made another oath of loyalty to Zhu Bugle and the like, and then left two young people to monitor the small ravine, and the remaining seven hurried back to Xigu Village.

Looking at their backs that were so excited that they were about to fly, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: simple-minded people are really easy to use, they only need to say "You are my most trusted brothers", you can make them do things for themselves wholeheartedly, what a cheap deal?

In fact, it is still not safe to leave this matter to these nine people, if there are other nine loyal subordinates, he will say the same thing to the other nine people, and then let those nine people spy on these nine people...... However, now he doesn't have so many trustworthy subordinates for the time being, so he can only take his time.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a relaxed step and returned to the courtyard of the Ma family, at this time the sky was already bright, and the long-term and short-term workers of the Ma family also got up one after another, and were about to go to the field, and the people in the courtyard came and went, and there was an endless stream. Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to get up before them and stood at the gate of the courtyard, greeting everyone.

After everyone went to work, he walked back to the housekeeper's small courtyard, pushed open the door, and planned to go to bed and lie down for a while, he had not slept all night, and he was going to kill people again tonight, he needed to rest well and recover in good physical condition.

Unexpectedly, I pushed the door in, and found that there was a person sitting in my living room, it turned out to be the little girl Qiuye, she was lying on the table in Zhu Yuanzhang's living room, and she was breathing. Hearing the sound of Zhu Yuanzhang entering the door, Qiu Ye woke up suddenly, raised his sleepy eyes, glanced at the door, and said happily: "Brother Zhu, you are finally back." ”

Then she saw the light shining through the door, it was clear, it was morning, and she couldn't help exclaiming, "Ah? Miserable! It's dawn! It's miserable! ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw her expression, his heart suddenly chuckled: Not good! Didn't this little girl sleep in my house all night? Then she knew I hadn't been home all night. After the news of the demolition of Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall came out, as long as someone with a heart combined these two things and thought about it, they would hook me up with the person who demolished the ancestral hall...... It's really troublesome now, I hate women, and sure enough, women are only troublesome.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately got angry: "What are you doing lying on your stomach in my room?" ”

"That...... Last night, I came to you to measure your body and make you new clothes...... I waited for you for a long time and didn't see you back, so I was careless...... Fell asleep. Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was not good, Qiu Ye was so frightened that he stammered a call. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to scold her, she actually cried first: "It's over...... I actually slept in your house all night, and I couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River...... Woo...... It's over......"

In these years, a woman's name is very important, and an unmarried young woman who runs into a young man's house and spends the whole night, even if she does nothing, this life is ruined, and the gossip is enough to kill her more than a hundred times. What's more, she is not a woman with a good reputation, the last time Zheng Yanfu rebelled, she was stripped of her clothes by the rogue, and the news of being insulted had already spread, which made her often pointed at by others, if the matter of spending the night in Zhu Yuanzhang's house this time spread again, she really couldn't live.

So without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to scold her, she cried first, and even why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go home for the night, she forgot to ask.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Yuanzhang's anger disappeared a little, and he couldn't cry or laugh: "Autumn leaf girl, don't cry in a hurry, were you seen in my house last night?" ”

"Like...... No one has ever seen ......"

"That's fine, as long as you don't take the initiative to tell someone that you spent the night in my house, who will know?"

"Huh? That's right! As long as I don't say it, who will know? Akiba was overjoyed and turned crying into laughter: "Great, I won't be poked in the back." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly thought: As long as you don't say that you have come to me, you naturally can't tell others that I haven't returned all night, it seems that this matter can still be fooled.

"Then I...... Let's go first! Qiu Ye even forgot about coming to tailor Zhu Yuanzhang by himself, and wanted to run out when he got up.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly: "Stupid woman, don't rush out, it's early in the morning, if you go out of my house and are seen, people can guess that you have stayed in my house all night without you saying it." Wait until noon before going out, so that you can say that you come in in the morning. ”

"Oh, yes!" Qiu Ye was flustered for a while, and finally settled down, and his thinking slowly straightened out, and he understood what Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed again that this woman's brain was too stupid. But when he thought about it carefully, this kind of stupid woman also has an advantage, she has no intention of harming others, nor does she have the ability to harm others, let alone ambition.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there have been several ambitious women doing politics, one of which was the Empress Dowager Sun during the orthodox period. The first time was the Empress Dowager Li and Concubine Zheng Guifei in the Wanli period, and the Hakka family in the Apocalypse period...... It can be regarded as influencing the trend of the government to a greater or lesser extent. The disadvantage of these women is that they are too "smart", and they are "smart" to run away to interfere in government affairs, and as a result, they make a mess of state and family affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang also met the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty when he was in the Wandering Soul Heavenly Realm, this one who did more politics and the country was made terrible by her, and she was also a "smart" woman who had reached the level of "stupidity".

Compared to these "smart" women, maybe a woman like Akiba is more like a woman.

He went back to his bedroom, took off his clothes, rolled under the covers, and casually ordered, "I'm going to sleep for a while, and you can stay in the living room by yourself until noon before leaving." ”

"Hmm!" Hearing the sound of undressing in the back room, Akiba didn't even dare to move in the living room.

After a long time, she whispered into the inner room, "Brother Zhu, are you asleep?" I'm so bored in the living room alone, can I talk to you for a while? ”

The bedroom was quiet, Zhu Yuanzhang was tired all night, and he had fallen asleep at this time. In fact, no matter how tired he is, Zhu Yuanzhang's sleep will not be very heavy, and he only needs a little malice or murderous aura to wake him up from his sleep.

But Akiba didn't have any bad intentions towards him at all, so her soft voice wouldn't wake him up.

Qiu Ye was bold, quietly opened the bedroom door curtain, stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's bed, and quietly stared at his sleeping face, which was full of the masculine beauty of the male surname.

This is a man with perseverance, mind, and means, and his heroic posture when he shook off the officers and soldiers in Zhangfu, Chengcheng, countless times made the girl with spring experience the pain of lovesickness at night. She knew deep down that this man was better than anyone she had ever seen before...... And she is just an ordinary little maid, will such a man be tempted by an ordinary woman like her?

Alas, I am not worthy of him! Being able to wash his clothes for a lifetime is his happiest expectation, and Autumn Leaves can't help but cry secretly.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yuanzhang woke up from his deep sleep, only to feel refreshed, the fatigue of not sleeping all night had been driven away from his body, he turned over and sat up, and found that he was the only one in the room, and Autumn Leaves had left at noon.

The tea on the table was already cold, but the flowers in the vase had been replaced by fresh wildflowers, a few delicate pinks. There was also a basin of water on the table, presumably for him to wash his face after he got up. Zhu Yuanzhang leaned over and suddenly saw his reflection from the basin...... Hey? On the left cheek, there seems to be a red mark...... It is a mark of the lips...... He couldn't help but reach out and wipe it on his cheek, and a faint tenderness lingered around him, lingering!
