This passage made Ma Xiuying at this time deeply moved, and she admired Zhu Yuanzhang's great feelings of caring for the fate of the Han compatriots in the whole world, but it was only admiration.

"Brother Zhu really deserves to be a hero and a man, this kind of mind is really admirable. ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and finally said what he really wanted to express.

"Actually, what I need most is not to be admired by Sister Xiuying, but to want Sister Xiuying's heart. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ma Xiuying's eyes very seriously and affectionately and said: "Sister Xiuying, in fact, from the moment I first saw you, my heart has deeply belonged to you, I can be said to have a deep love for Sister Xiuying, I hope that Sister Xiuying can accept my love for you and promise to marry Zhu, Zhu is willing to treat you well for the rest of your life, and will never be separated from you for the rest of your life." ”

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden confession surprised Ma Xiuying at this time, and seemed to frighten her, she smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Zhu, are you joking! I am the daughter of my father-in-law, and you are the son of my father-in-law, the two of us should be brother and sister strictly speaking, and we can't be together." ”

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so, he was excited with a very sincere tone, put his hands on Ma Xiuying's shoulders and said to her: "No, I'm not joking, I'm serious." Although we have the same father, but the two of us are not related by blood, we can be together, in fact, this is also the meaning of the father-in-law, the reason why the father-in-law introduced you to me and then deliberately walked away, in fact, he saw through my heart for you, and wanted to give me a chance to let you be with me, don't you understand? Sister Xiuying, please marry me! I, Zhu Yuanzhang, will definitely not disappoint you, and will definitely treat you well, you believe me. ”

Ma Xiuying hurriedly broke free of Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and said separately: "I'm just a little girl next to the sect leader, I don't deserve such love from Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, you must be tired today! You better have a good rest, I have to serve the sect leader." ”

After finishing speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but Zhu Yuanzhang stopped her at this time.

"Sister Xiuying. ”

When Ma Xiuying turned around, Zhu Yuanzhang said to her again: "I will wait for you." ”

After hearing this, Ma Xiuying couldn't help but shake her head, and then rushed to Sect Leader Long Xiaotian.

At this time, Long Xiaotian was drinking happily with Chang Yuchun in a house, and while drinking, he told the old things about the two of them when they were there in Guazhou that day.

"Brother Yi, I really didn't expect that our brothers would be able to meet each other, I thought I would never have the chance to see you again when I said goodbye to Guazhou last time, I really didn't expect to see you at the main altar of our White Lotus Sect this time, and what I didn't expect is that you actually became the leader of our White Lotus Sect, you are really capable, it seems that I Chang Yuchun is really discerning! ”

Long Xiaotian smiled slightly, and said to Chang Yuchun: "I didn't expect to be able to meet my eldest brother again by chance, it seems that it is the fate arranged by God that you and I brothers can worship as brothers with different surnames." Come, and make this wine for the reunion of our two brothers. ”

"Okay, let's get drunk and rest!"

Then, the two of them finished a glass of wine very happily, and after a glass of wine was down, Long Xiaotian shouted heroically: "Good wine." ”

And Chang Yuchun also shouted heroically: "Good wine, hahaha, I really didn't expect our brothers to be able to drink so happily, the amount of wine of the righteous brother is really amazing!"

"Brother Yi, your amount of alcohol is also amazing! Now that you and I are both members of the White Lotus Sect, there will be many opportunities to meet in the future, as long as you are willing, Brother Yi, we brothers will have a chance. ”

"Okay, that's what you said, if you have the opportunity every day, you have to drink with your eldest brother every day. ”

"The younger brother is always with you. ”

"Today, you defeated the heroes and defeated so many masters of the five major factions, presumably your reputation will be able to resound throughout the martial arts in the future, and your fame and status in the rivers and lakes must be not small!"

"Haha, that's, that's, but it's nothing to me at all, the most important thing is that I can see my brother again by chance, which is what my brother cares about the most. ”

After finishing speaking, the two of them laughed heartily, and after laughing for a while, Chang Yuchun said again: "Brother Yi, this time you not only defeated the masters of the martial arts faction with your own strength, but also defeated the masters of the Bloody Cloth Sect, and saved me from the top and bottom of the White Lotus Sect. ”

"My master once said to me, calling the great man of chivalry for the country and the people, the White Lotus Sect opposes the imperial court to fight the world for the Han people, saves them from the tyranny of the Mongols, and saves the people from fire and water, this is a righteous act, and it is indeed for the country and the people, this is the great man of chivalry. And now that I have become the head of the White Lotus Sect, I want to carry this banner of rescuing the Han people from fire and water and reviving the Han people, and be a generation of heroes who are chivalrous and serve the country and the people, and live up to the expectations of my ancestors. ”

"It seems that your ancestor really taught you a lot of things to make your nature so upright, I really didn't think wrong. The people of the Bloody Cloth Sect killed your teacher, and in the future, your revenge will be the enemy of our White Lotus Sect, after the White Lotus Sect overthrows the imperial court, one day the Bloody Cloth Sect will be eliminated, and this hatred of yours will be wrapped in the righteous brother, as long as you give an order, the righteous brother is willing to charge into battle for you, and go to the soup to fight the fire. ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law, the younger brother is here to toast the eldest brother with a glass of wine to express his gratitude. ”

"Okay, let's do it quickly!"

After the two of them finished drinking a glass of wine again, Long Xiaotian asked Chang Yuchun: "Brother Yi, when did your righteous army know that the people of the Blood Clothes Sect and the Mongolian army had surrounded Lotus Peak? Today, thanks to the righteous brother who led the army to relieve the siege for us, if it wasn't for the righteous brother you led the righteous army to relieve the siege, I might not have been able to make those Mongolian troops retreat." ”

"It's a long story. ”

Immediately afterwards, Chang Yuchun told Long Xiaotian in detail about the conversation process when he quarreled when he decided to send troops in advance despite Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang's persuasion after he got the news of the siege of Lotus Peak from the scouts that day, and then added: "At that time, I didn't know why King Wu had to wait an hour before sending troops, it was already a crisis moment, if you don't send troops to Lotus Peak again, the Golden Lotus Holy Envoy and the Blue Water Dragon King will be in danger, didn't King Wu think about these at that time?" I really don't quite understand. ”

When he heard this, Long Xiaotian's face changed suddenly, and he seemed to have already understood Zhu Yuanzhang's conspiracy, so he said to Chang Yuchun: "Brother Yi, Zhu Yuanzhang is your lord after all, I didn't want to say anything bad about him in front of you, but you are my brother-in-law, so there are some things I still have to point out to you." ”

At this time, Long Xiaotian was still in the dark, not understanding Zhu Yuanzhang's sinister intentions, only to see him ask stupidly: "Brother Yi, what do you want to tell me!"

And Long Xiaotian's next sentence made Chang Yuchun dumbfounded.

"I think Zhu Yuanzhang is a very problematic person, the reason why he wants you to wait for an hour before attacking Lotus Peak is to use the hands of the Blood Clothes Sect and the imperial court to destroy the White Lotus Sect's main altar, get rid of the four major guardian kings and the Golden Lotus Holy Envoy, and finally send troops to eliminate the Mongolian soldiers to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so that the White Lotus Sect members will be grateful to him and support him as the leader of the White Lotus Sect. ”

After hearing this, Chang Yuchun's emotions became excited, and he hurriedly explained to his lord: "No, it's impossible, my lord is definitely not such a person, the Blue Water Dragon King is his father-in-law, he has no reason to do this, impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

"Although I don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang is like, but you have followed him for so many years, I think you should know better than me what kind of person he is, what kind of words he has said, and what kind of things he has done. ”
