Zhu Xiongying had already planned in his heart, and when he waited for the first day of the fifth month, he proposed to Lao Zhu to leave the capital and govern one side, so as to prove to Lao Zhu that some of the ways of governing the world in later generations would also work in this era.

If you are still trapped in the palace, you will be restricted everywhere to do things. Only by leaving the capital and being in a territory that is completely your own can you play freely.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xiongying curiously and asked again:

"Xiongying, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, you'll know later!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and did not answer positively.

His ideas seem ridiculous in this day and age, and there is no need to explain too much to them.

It's like immunizing smallpox with the cowpox virus and making flintlock pistols, just do it first and then show them the results.

Zhu Di also wanted to find Lao Zhu, and the two happened to be walking together.

Yesterday, Lao Zhu guarded Zhu Xiongying for a day, and he didn't sleep until late at night, and he didn't go back to rest until after the hour.

However, after only two hours of sleep, he got up.

Lao Zhu didn't dare to be lazy, workaholism was not called in vain.

Yesterday he did not go to court, and there was a lot of government affairs waiting for him to deal with.

Lao Zhu was reviewing the folds in the Fengxian Palace, and he was very happy to see Zhu Xiongying.

"Ying'er, you only slept so late last night, why did you get up like this?"

"Grandpa, I've rested. But you, pay more attention to your body! ”

Lao Zhu disagreed, in the past, when he was fighting, it was the norm not to get a good rest for a few days and nights.

"Haha, our body is made of iron, okay! It's okay! ”

Seeing that Zhu Di was also here, Lao Zhu hurriedly put down the work in his hand.

"The fourth child is also here, you two are here just in time, I have something to discuss with you two."

Zhu Di and Zhu Xiongying looked at each other and smiled.

"It's really a coincidence, I happened to meet Xiongying on the road, father, what are you talking about?"

Old Zhu paused.

"I heard your eldest brother say, are you going back to Beiping? How's the flintlock pistol ready? ”

"Back to my father, they have been rushing to work these days, and this batch has already made 2,000 rods. I will take it back to Beiping first, and after I go back, let the arsenal in Beiping continue to build. ”

Lao Zhu touched his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good! Good! Good! After a while, arsenals all over the country will start making flintlock pistols, and it won't be long before all our Ming troops will be armed! ”

"Well, that's what Father said. At that time, our Ming army will be invincible in the world! ”

Lao Zhu laughed, and then said:

"Fourth, I'll introduce you to someone, and you can take it to Peking together."

Hearing this, Zhu Di was a little surprised.

"Who is so powerful that he deserves to be personally introduced to his son?"

Lao Zhu smiled.

"That person is also related to Ying'er!"

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xiongying and asked with a smile:

"Ying'er, what is that strong man's name Tiger here?"

Zhu Xiongying happily took over.

"Grandpa, that person's name is Meng Hu!"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes! It's called Meng Hu. Look at our memory, it's only been more than a month, and I almost forgot his name! ”

Zhu Di was even more curious.

"Father, who is Meng Hu?"

Lao Zhu explained with a smile:

"It was a strong man with strong martial arts and infinite strength but not afraid of death, and he had a good performance in Ying'er's smallpox experiment. I have killed many enemies before and have been sentenced to death, but now I have been pardoned, and I am free! ”

Zhu Di probably understood what Lao Zhu meant.

Lao Zhu cherishes talents, no matter who he is, as long as he is of good character and useful, Lao Zhu is willing to give him a chance.

"What does the emperor mean by letting his sons take him to the front?"

Lao Zhu nodded.

"That's right, it's a pity that a martial artist like him is buried in the market. There is still war in the north, so it is better to let him go to the army to experience and experience! ”

Zhu Xiongying said suddenly:

"Grandpa, that man has a strange temper, how do you know that he will be willing to go to the army? And it's the bitter cold of the north. ”

Lao Zhu listened and laughed.

"Ying'er, don't forget, Wei Qing is my person. Although I have never met Meng Hu, I know that he is a person who loves and hates. I know all the things you did for Meng Hu. Doesn't he want to play for you? Let him go to your fourth uncle's army to experience and experience first, and he will definitely be used for you when he becomes a talent in the future! ”

As soon as Lao Zhu's words fell, he saw Zhu Xiongying shaking his head again and again.

"Grandpa, that's not going to happen. I don't want it later, I want him to be my use now. ”

After Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhu Di.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Uncle. I'm going to stay with that person. ”

Zhu Di was even more surprised, and said jokingly:

"A man I haven't even met in person, but you're being fought over by the two of you. Who the hell is so powerful, I really want to meet him! ”

Lao Zhu was also surprised when he heard Zhu Xiongying's words.

"Good grandson, you are good in the palace, what's the use of asking him?"

Zhu Xiongying smiled.

"Grandpa, I have my own reasons for keeping him, you will know in two days, I came to you just to let Master Wei go with me to meet him."

Lao Zhu frowned, his grandson's recent behavior is always inscrutable, and he doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"What kind of medicine is sold in your kid's gourd? It's so mysterious! ”

"Haha, I'll tell you in two days."

Lao Zhu shook his head helplessly.

"Alright! I'll let Wei Qing go with you. ”

Zhu Xiongying wanted to leave the capital, but it was only the first day of the fifth month, and he was afraid that Lao Zhu would not be able to stand it, so he asked him to postpone it for two days.

Lao Zhu called Wei Qing and asked him to go with Zhu Xiongying to see Meng Hu.

It's been more than a month since the last separation.

During this time, Meng Hu has been staying at Aunt Wang's house, helping her do some work, going up the mountain to collect firewood, collecting medicine, etc.

Mrs. Wang's house was also repaired, and they also surrounded her with a large yard.

Meng Hu was chopping wood in the yard when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house.

"Appeal ......"

The carriage stopped at the gate of Aunt Wang's courtyard.

"Mother, Brother Meng, someone is here!"

Xiaoya poked her head out and looked.

I saw that the driver was dressed in the same way as the guards at the experimental base.

Then, Zhu Xiongying and Wei Qing got out of the carriage.

When Xiaoya saw them, she was surprised and delighted.

"Mother, Brother Meng! It's Young Master Ying and Lord Wei! ”

Meng Hu was stunned, he didn't expect that the imperial grandson would suddenly visit, so he quickly dropped the work in his hand, stood up, and supported Aunt Wang on the side.

"Auntie, that Ying Gongzi is the imperial grandson of the dynasty!"

Aunt Wang smiled and said:

"Well, I know. Look, he's not coming for you! ”

As he was talking, Zhu Xiongying and Wei Qing had already come to the door.

Xiaoya and her mother were about to bow to Zhu Xiongying, but they were stopped by him.

"You don't have to be polite, there are no outsiders here, don't treat me as some imperial grandson, just call me Young Prince!"
