Then thank you Jing'er,"

Zhu Di looked at him, smiled slightly, and sat down on the futon he had placed.

Dao Yan looked at the two of them, nodded at Zhu Di and said,

"Let's talk slowly, I'm going to do something else, old man."

"Well, okay, Master, please."

Raising his hand slightly, Zhu Di said that he understood.

Being able to stare at the emperor's face at such a close distance, Chai Jingnan found that in just over two months, the fourth uncle seemed to be much haggard, and his face was also gloomy, especially the eyes that had always been clear and deep in his memory, which had become a little cloudy at this time......

"Fourth uncle, your body is fine."

Seeing that there was ready-made tea on the side, Chai Jingnan poured a cup for the other party and handed it over, greeting.

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to take the teacup but didn't drink it, and smiled faintly,

"Well, it's okay, at least you don't have to stay in the hot and humid barracks all day, and the three meals a day are also very punctual, so you will naturally adjust slowly."

"But sleep still isn't good, is it?"

Chai Jingnan asked slowly.

Zhu Di was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly and said,

"I forgot that Jing'er was a child who grew up next to the Wudang Divine Doctor. As you said, there are too many things to deal with, and there is no time to rest, and those ministers will only have problems one by one, and few can solve them, and they will not be stable all day long...... Alas, look at me, Jing'er, you finally came back, and I heard the fourth uncle complaining here, it's really ......."

"The fourth uncle is willing to complain to Jing'er, that is Jing'er's honor."

Chai Jingnan looked at him with a smile and said.

Zhu Di's gaze darkened again, and said,

"Yes, I finally met someone like you who can spit out bitterness, and the fourth uncle can also be happy."

"Fourth uncle, what did you do with the horizontal lake?"

Chai Jingnan is still very concerned about this matter, after all, that guy has been making trouble for nearly 20 years, causing harm to many people, and he has wanted to assassinate the fourth uncle several times.

Zhu Di smiled when he heard it,

"Executions have been made. That guy is just a tool to be used, the fourth uncle and I sent an envoy to negotiate with Warat about his affairs, and sure enough, the leader of Nawarat, Mahamu, did not recognize Ye Xian, and said that the 'Snow Ridge Flying Eagle' was only a sect in its territory, and was not under the control of the leader. ”

"They're pushing clean."

Chai Jingnan sneered.

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing out loud and said,

"But that's okay, that Ma Hamu showed interest, and immediately sent a messenger to show that he was willing to surrender to my Ming Dynasty and promised to make offerings every year. Although he can't say exactly what he is thinking, at least he doesn't dare to make any more trouble for the time being, and I have begun to make strict arrangements in the northwest. ”

"Well, there's really no way to be unguarded."

Although the Huashan faction was praised because the Zhu Pingle brothers had indeed saved the emperor many times, the position there was also an important factor, so after listening to what he said, Chai Jingnan also relaxed slightly in his heart,

"Seeing that the fourth uncle is all right, Jing'er is relieved."

"Jing'er, listening to your tone, don't you want to stay with the fourth uncle?"

Zhu Di asked with some surprise.

Chai Jingnan was also a little flustered by his disappointed expression with a panicked expression, and said busily,

"Yes, fourth uncle, Jing'er grew up in the rivers and lakes after all, so she still belongs to the rivers and lakes after all......"

"Jing'er ......"

Zhu Di's expression looked even more sad,

"The fourth uncle wants to ask you a word, you have to be honest and say what is in your heart."

"This ...... Fourth uncle, can you ask......"

Chai Jingnan's heart began to beat faster, he was really worried that Zhu Di would ask him about Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts.

Fortunately, what Zhu Di said is not this,

"Jing'er, you don't want to stay with the fourth uncle, is it because I heard that I have killed a lot of people recently, is it ......?"

"Fourth Uncle ......"

Seeing that he was not asking the most difficult and difficult question for him, but listening to the sadness in his tone when he said these words, he made him even more uneasy, so he hurriedly comforted,

"Of course not...... What you said, although I have also heard about it, but I have learned some details from Brother Sanbao, those things are actually just arrows on the bow, and I have to do it, that's all, no matter what rumors in the world, Fourth Uncle, you are always my Fourth Uncle......"

"Then why can't you stay?"

Zhu Di's tone was almost moaning, burying his face in his hands,

"Another person in this world who calls me 'Fourth Uncle' has left, and it seems that I am afraid that I will never see each other again, do you want to leave Fourth Uncle alone?"

"Fourth Uncle,"

Chai Jingnan really couldn't help but take his hand and said that he didn't want to leave, but in the end he hardened his heart and said,

"Do you remember when the first emperor's grandfather asked Jing'er why he was the fourth uncle's guard, how I answered?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to protect the fourth uncle and me at that time......

Zhu Di didn't use his memories at all, and replied with his mouth open.

Chai Jingnan really didn't expect him to remember it so clearly, so he nodded and smiled helplessly,

"Yes, at that time, Jing'er only had the idea of protecting you, and now it seems that there are still many people in the world who need to be protected, and it's time to do something for more people."

"I see, that's ......"

Zhu Di nodded thoughtfully,

"Jing'er has really grown up, what she said is right, she really has to do more things for the people of Daming. However, Jing'er, among the more people you said you want to protect, do you also include the fourth uncle and me? ”

"Of course!"

Chai Jingnan smiled, and that smile was as happy and sweet as it was twenty years ago.

Seeing his smile, Zhu Di's eyes became clear again in an instant, as if they were healed, and he smiled softly,

"That's good, as long as Jing'er always has the fourth uncle and me in her heart, then it doesn't matter how far away you are."

"yes, but we're not that far away,"

In order to reassure him, Chai Jingnan continued to comfort,

"Jing'er's stepmother, Xiangxiang, has resigned in Guizhou, and was taken over by me and lived in Huaishang with Uncle Li, which is not far from Yingtian."

"Oh, by the way, Jing'er also has a stepmother, so you have to honor her well, as well as your master,"

Zhu Di's mood finally relaxed a lot,

"If you need anything to say at any time, don't go out with the fourth uncle."

"Well, I just need the fourth uncle not to forget Jing'er."

Chai Jingnan smiled mischievously.

Zhu Di nodded slowly,

"How come, although you and my uncle and nephew will say goodbye today, we will never forget each other......"

The "Yongle Prosperous Era" in the long history has begun, and a new pattern in the rivers and lakes is also forming——

Qu Pingzheng officially gave up the position of head of Huashan to Zhu Pingle, and important figures from all major sects in the martial arts came to congratulate and officially respected him as the leader of the alliance;

With the approval of his mentor Xiao Qing, the disciples of the original Jianmen officially became the people of Biluo Palace, except for Yin Yunming, and Shangguan Yunli also became the descendant of Xia Qingzhen and became the successor of the palace;

Yin Yunming joined the Quanzhen Sect and became a Quanzhen disciple;

Xiao Qing saw that the children he had cultivated had a good belonging, and he could finally return to Hengshan with Shen Chengkuan with confidence, and truly retreated......

Wulin finally ushered in another period of tranquility, but I don't know how long this tranquility will last......
