Chapter 21: The Battle-hardened Veteran
Listening to Zhuang Mu's introduction, his mind was still confused.

For so many years.

I have read so many books, and I can basically understand their meaning at a glance.

Unexpectedly, I found myself unable to understand Zhuang Mu's explanation.

After all, my old thoughts can’t keep up.

Yao Guangxiao thought for a long time and then asked.

"Is this game fun?"

Zhuang Mu touched his head.

"Well, it's fun, but it costs a few hundred million krypton."

When Three Kingdoms was first released, it was indeed very popular, but it was only because of the limitations of the subject matter.

There are only so many generals in the Three Kingdoms. If you want to make money, you have to keep releasing generals.

But if you want to release a general who has been released again, you naturally have to make some minor modifications, and gradually, the balance will be lost.

There is no longer the happiness of the past.

"You want to play?"

Yao Guangxiao thought for a moment and nodded.

"After listening to your description, I find it quite interesting."

"I read history books, Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures, and Taoist books over and over again."

"I've been feeling a bit bored lately, so I found this book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, to kill time."

Sometimes, he gets bored.

I play chess when I'm bored, but the result is the same after playing for a while.

Still feel bored.

Just read novels to kill time.

Zhuang Mu wondered, could it be that this old monk is old and feels lonely?
"Well... this Three Kingdoms Kill is not difficult to make, if you want to play it."

“I can try to make it.”

"Since you are my old customer."

Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"In that case, it would be disrespectful."

Card games are different from other games.

It is much easier to make, you just need to recall the skills of the Three Kingdoms generals.

This is a bit troublesome, and most importantly, he doesn't have much time.

Time has always been the most helpless thing for him.

Zhu Zhanji stood aside, listening to what the two were saying, although he could not understand some of it.

But it seems that Zhuang Mu will make something interesting, such as Three Kingdoms Kill.

He himself likes to have fun, but the entertainment activities in Yingtian Prefecture are only a few.

Maybe I can come here more often in the future.

……

In a dream.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already night.

After dinner, Duke Xu's mansion fell into silence.

They were basically all asleep, but there were still two people in the courtyard.

Xu Da and Zhu Di.

"Father-in-law, why don't you rest so late?"

Zhu Di looked at the chair beside him.

It was obvious that Xu Da had been waiting for him for a long time.

"sit."

The father-in-law and the son-in-law sat side by side.

Looking up at the starry sky, it is so bright and brilliant.

Recalling Zhu Di's performance today, Xu Da pondered for a long time and then spoke.

"What have you been through these days?"

Zhu Di was slightly stunned.

As expected, General Xu Da was worthy of being able to see my abnormality.

Come to think of it, all these skills of mine were actually taught by Xu Da.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Di asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Hearing this, Xu Da only gave an ambiguous answer.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."

"But you have indeed changed. You have become very different."

"Today during the day, your moves were fierce and decisive. If you hadn't held back, Yun Gong would probably never have been able to stand up again in his lifetime."

"This kind of ruthless feeling can only be felt by those who have been on the battlefield."

"And you seem to have never experienced a battlefield."

Fierceness and courage are qualities that only veterans or old soldiers who have been on the battlefield and experienced hundreds of battles have.

Zhu Di stayed in Yingtian Prefecture the whole time. He never went to the battlefield, let alone killed anyone.

How could he have such a ruthless temperament?

At the same time, Zhu Di also became much more mature and stable.

Zhu Di thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I had a dream."

Dream?
"What dream?"

"It was a very long dream. In the dream, I was a veteran who had experienced many battles."

"The blood of countless people is on my hands."

Although it was a little unbelievable, Xu Da didn't say much.

Miracles do exist in the world, but they rarely appear, so they are called miracles.

Dreams are the most common miracles that humans can access.

Sometimes, he would have a feeling that he had seen today's scene in his dreams.

"Maybe this isn't a dream."

"Maybe you can become what you dreamed of and become a veteran who has experienced many battles."

"Defend the country and protect your wife and children."

Xu Da smiled.

He said this simply to encourage Zhu Di to maintain this state.

Zhu Di looked towards Xu Da.

"Do you really want me to be like in your dream?"

At this moment, what Xu Da saw was not the Aokiji Prince of Yan Zhu Di.

Instead, he was an old man exuding the power of a dragon.

Xu Da was shocked.

What on earth was going on? Did I see it wrong?
Why did he seem to see Zhu Di in front of him as an old man just now?
Zhu Di stood up slowly.

"Hahaha, unfortunately, I don't want to be like in my dream."

Xu Da had no idea what would happen in the future, and he said this just to encourage himself.

In the future, he will be able to become a vassal general guarding a region.

If we really do as he says, I'm afraid the Jingnan Rebellion will still happen and he will still rebel.

Unfortunately.

He came to solve the nightmare and to make up for his mistakes.

Naturally, it was impossible to allow the brave and warlike King Yan to appear.

What he needs to do is to try his best to change the Jingnan in his dream.

He doesn't want to sit on the throne anymore.

"Father-in-law, go to bed early."

Watching Zhu Di walking away, Xu Da muttered to himself.

"It's so nagging."

But he didn't care. It was always a good thing that Zhu Di could change his previous playboy self.

Zhu Di returned to the room and looked at Xu Miaoyun who had fallen into a deep sleep.

Her face was full of love.

Now, he has met Miaoyun and has initially improved his relationship with his father-in-law.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But... this dream seems to last much longer than last time.

Just as he was thinking.

The surroundings began to become dark, and the originally bright moonlight gradually dissipated.

It seems that he is about to wake up.

The only regret is that I didn’t see my father in this dream.

Or perhaps he still didn't dare to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

He had a guilty conscience and was afraid of meeting Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Ugh……"

Soon, Zhu Di slowly opened his eyes and looked at the familiar tavern around him.

My heart still feels so empty.

It’s better to be young.

Zhu Di could clearly feel the difference between his old body and his young body.

"Hey, old man, you're on time this time."

Zhuang Mu looked at Zhu Di who had just woken up and was a little surprised.

Looking at Zhuang Mu, Zhu Di was in a good mood.

He met his lover and gained Xu Da's recognition.

He stood up slowly, took a long breath, and said with a smile: "I'll come again tomorrow. I won't stay here tonight."
