Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 241 Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya: Brother Xiong Ying!!

"Defend our territory and stabilize our borders."

"There's no distinction between great and small merits," Zhu Ying replied solemnly.

Seeing Zhu Ying's attitude, one can see that he is polite and humble.

Mu Ying's eyes were filled with admiration.

Obviously.

Before meeting him, Mu Ying was very curious about Zhu Ying, who was famous throughout the land. She even thought that Zhu Ying must be young, arrogant, and conceited.

But it can be seen right now.

This was actually quite surprising.

"Master Hou."

"This is my elder brother, Mu Qing."

"This is my fourth brother, Mu Ang."

"These are my fifth brother, Mu Chang, and my sixth brother, Mu Xin."

Mu Sheng immediately stepped forward and pointed to the four people beside him, saying that their ages varied greatly. The oldest, Mu Qing, was probably close to thirty, while the others were around twenty, and the youngest was only a teenager.

"I've met you all."

Zhu Ying smiled and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Meet Champion Hou."

Mu Ying's sons also looked at Zhu Ying with awe.

Although Zhu Ying appeared amiable and without the slightest arrogance, they all knew that Zhu Ying was the most outstanding military general in the Ming Dynasty, and a hundred-man slayer, making him an extremely fierce fighter.

No one dared to be disrespectful.

"correct."

Mu Sheng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly looked back.

Before them stood a stunningly beautiful woman in a long, bright red dress, exuding the heroic spirit of a soldier.

"Third sister."

What are you dawdling about for?

Mu Sheng called out.

Zhu Ying followed the gaze.

"The genes of this big family are really good. They are all good-looking and would be considered great beauties in later generations."

"The Xu family exudes a scholarly air and appears very gentle, while the Mu family has a martial spirit and is full of heroic energy. They are two extremes."

Upon seeing Mu Ya, Zhu Ying immediately compared Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya.

Although the feeling was strange, it suddenly appeared in my heart.

"Meet Champion Hou."

At Mu Sheng's call, Mu Ya slowly walked up to Zhu Ying. Instead of bowing like a woman, she clasped her hands in greeting.

"This Mu Ya is quite interesting."

"This is certainly unconventional for this era."

Seeing Mu Ya's way of greeting him, Zhu Ying smiled.

He then stepped forward.

He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Miss Mu."

"Third sister."

"You really haven't changed at all."

Seeing Mu Ya's way of bowing, Mu Sheng, who hadn't seen her for almost two years, was filled with emotion.

After all, this woman's way of bowing was unique.

Mu Ya raised her head and looked at Zhu Ying. Although she exuded an aura that kept people at a distance, she still looked at Zhu Ying out of curiosity.

This look.

Just like Xu Miaojin.

Muya was completely stunned.

"Xiongying...Brother Xiongying?"

Mu Ya gasped inwardly.

For her.

Her feelings were exactly the same as Xu Miaojin's.

These eyes.

Muya could never forget it.

And her behavior was exactly the same as Xu Miaojin's.

This left everyone in the Mu family speechless.

Others may not know Mu Ya's personality, but how could they not know?
Not only was she extremely picky, but she looked down on almost all men.

But today.

She was so engrossed in staring at Zhu Ying that she became completely absorbed.

"Hahaha."

"Brother Mu."

"It seems that Ya'er, like my Miaojin, admires young heroes."

"That's just like they were when they were kids. No wonder they were childhood rivals."

See this scene.

Xu Huizu also smiled.

Hearing Xu Huizu's words.

Mu Ying shook her head helplessly.

What happened back then.

It caused quite a stir in Yingtian City.

The rivalry between the Xu and Mu families over a husband was a laughing stock back then.

So many years have passed, and Mu Ying now clearly understands why Mu Ya doesn't want to get married. Perhaps it's because of her childhood experiences that she's unwilling to do so.

Xu Miaojin might be the same.

"Am I really that good-looking? That I attract so many women's attention?"

now.

Even Zhu Ying felt something was off.

Just now, Xu Miaojin, and now Mu Ya, are both staring at their own faces.

It would be really strange if you couldn't feel it.

"The way these two girls looked at their husbands wasn't like they were looking at a stranger; it seemed like they were looking at someone they knew."

"Could it be that they know their husbands?"

However, Shen Yu'er, who was standing to the side, had a clearer perspective from the outside.

As a woman herself, she could clearly sense the emotions in the eyes of the two women.

"Champion Marquis."

"You came."

While everyone around Zhu Ying was lost in their own thoughts.

A shout interrupted everyone's thoughts.

one look.

Lan Yu strode towards Zhu Ying, accompanied by a middle-aged woman, Lan Yu's wife, Madam Mu.

"Duke Liang."

Upon seeing Lan Yu arrive, Zhu Ying smiled slightly and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Lan Yu quickly stepped forward and returned the greeting with clasped hands.

He seemed to be very familiar with Zhu Ying, and his attitude was very friendly.

And this scene.

This immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding ministers, naturally causing much surprise and confusion.

"Isn't it rumored that Champion Marquis Zhu Ying and Lan Yu have a bad relationship?"

"Yes."

"It is said that during the Liaodong and Northern Expedition wars, Zhu Ying and Lan Yu had a considerable rift, which even came to the point of fighting."

"Why do they seem to get along so well today?"

"Could the rumor be wrong?"

"Strange, this is far too strange."

"Given Lan Yu's personality, how could he do this?"

"The glory of the Liaodong and Northern Expedition battles was stolen by the Marquis of Champion. Given Lan Yu's personality, he should be extremely resentful, but why did he treat Zhu Ying like this?"

……

Lan Yu's loud shout immediately attracted the attention of those around him.

this moment.

Many civil and military officials were naturally extremely surprised.

After all, rumors of discord between Zhu Ying and Lan Yu had been circulating for some time, and this had been confirmed by many military generals in Huaixi. But rumors aside, it turns out that this is not the case at all.

of course.

For many courtiers, it was perhaps just a surprise.

But for Lü Ben, it was difficult to calm down at this moment.

"what happened?"

"Shouldn't Zhu Ying and Lan Yu be irreconcilable enemies? How come they get along so well?"

"If that's the case, how can I win over Zhu Ying as an ally for Yunwen?"

"If there hadn't been the struggle between Huai Xi and Zhu Ying, how could Zhu Ying have fought Huai Xi to the death?" Lü Ben's expression turned slightly grim, and his heart was also filled with turmoil. Clearly...

At this moment, with Lan Yu and Zhu Ying on such a harmonious relationship, the person most uneasy was Lü Ben.

Because after Zhu Ying returned to Yingtian, Lü Ben had the idea of ​​winning him over to work for Zhu Yunwen.

but now!
It doesn't seem to be going in the direction he expected.

"The Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Xiping are also here."

"It's been a long time."

"How are you two?"

After Lan Yu arrived, he also clasped his hands in a fist and smiled at Xu Huizu and Mu Ying.

"Congratulations, Duke of Liang."

"This northern expedition has fulfilled my wish, and I have been granted the title of Duke," Xu Huizu said calmly.

"Indeed, congratulations to Duke Liang are due," Mu Ying said, offering his congratulations in a neutral tone.

This is evident from the fact that...

Blue jade is not something everyone likes.

Lan Yu remained calm in the face of their attitudes, as he was already used to it; this had always been his personality.

People you look down on will always look down on you.

He doesn't bother to befriend others, nor does he bother to befriend them.

of course.

The only exception is Zhu Ying, because this is about his future path, the rest of his life, and even the path of his entire family.

Lan Yu dared not slack off in the slightest.

"Wenxi".

"Still remember me?"

Lan Yu turned around, walked behind Zhu Ying, and looked at Zhu Wenxi, whom Shen Yu'er was holding.

"I remember the day my father's grandparents came to the mansion to see him."

Zhu Wenxi then spoke up.

This sound.

Naturally, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Xu Huizu, Mu Ying, and the others all turned their gazes toward Zhu Wenxi.

It doesn't matter if you don't watch.

This look.

They were all terrified.

"This this……"

The moment Xu Huizu and Mu Ying saw it, their eyes widened, unable to hide their shock.

Moreover, upon seeing it, their gazes turned in unison, and they exchanged glances. Although they did not speak, their eyes conveyed the same meaning: How come this child looks so much like U.A.?
Xu Huizu.

Although she wasn't from Zhu Xiong Ying's generation, Xu Miao Jin had been raised by him since childhood, so she frequently entered the palace and naturally met Zhu Xiong Ying many times.

As for Mu Ying, there's no need to elaborate.

Back when Zhu Xiong Ying was at Dabentang, Mu Ying would always see him first whenever he returned, since Zhu Xiong Ying still had to call him Uncle.

of course.

Apart from Xu Huizu and Mu Ying, Mu Ying's many sons remained quite calm, since they were not from the same generation as Zhu Xiong Ying.

Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya were the ones who were truly stunned.

"Brother Xiong Ying?"

"This looks exactly like Brother U.A. when he was a child."

"Exactly the same."

"They were made from the same mold."

"What a coincidence!"

"Could this be the son of the Marquis of Champion?"

"The champion's eyes look exactly like Xiong Ying's when he was a child. And now his son looks just like Xiong Ying when he was a child? What a coincidence!"

Although there are two people.

But at this moment, Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya were thinking exactly the same thing.

He was completely stunned as he stared at Zhu Wenxi.

Lan Yu glanced at Xu Huizu and the others out of the corner of her eye, and smiled knowingly to herself: "Wenxi looks almost exactly like Xiong Ying when he was a child. I don't believe you can't tell."

"Those two little girls should have figured it out too."

"There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world."

"Zhu Yingke is my grand-nephew Zhu Xiong Ying."

"Just you wait and see. In the future, the eldest grandson of the Ming emperor will soon return, and he will return with the added glory of the Fenglang Juxu. No one will be able to shake his position." Lan Yu thought to himself, filled with a sense of pride.

but.

At this moment, Lan Yu immediately turned her gaze to Zhu Wenxi and said in a very kind and gentle tone, "Wenxi is really amazing. You still remember me. In the future, I will definitely take you out to have some fun."

Upon hearing Lan Yu's words, Zhu Wenxi simply smiled and looked on without responding.

"that."

"Duke of Wei, Marquis of Xiping".

"This is my wife, Liu Yu'er, and this is my son, Zhu Wenxi."

Just as everyone's attention was focused on him, Zhu Ying smiled and said.

of course.

Zhu Ying was somewhat used to the surprised looks they gave his son.

after all.

Zhu Ying also learned the main reason why Zhu Biao adopted his son as his godson: Zhu Wenxi looked like the former eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying. These people in front of him must have all seen the former eldest grandson of the emperor, so they were inevitably surprised when they saw Zhu Wenxi.

"It seems that Xi'er really does look like Zhu Xiong Ying from back then."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have such expressions," Zhu Ying thought to himself.

but.

As Zhu Ying began to speak.

Xu Huizu and Mu Ying were the first to come to their senses.

He immediately clasped his hands in greeting to Shen Yu'er and smiled, saying, "Greetings, Madam Zhu."

"Greetings, Generals."

"I have long admired the names of the two generals."

Shen Yu'er smiled and said politely.

outer.

Moreover, with so many high-ranking officials and nobles present, Shen Yu'er naturally couldn't let her husband down. Today, she was dressed in the palace attire of a noblewoman, looking dignified, elegant, and exuding an air of nobility.

"No."

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Ying with surprise and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't Madam Zhu's surname be Shen?"

Lan Yu should be the one who knows the most about Zhu Ying's family situation.

"Real truth."

“My wife, Yu’er, is not from the Shen family, but from another family. However, due to what happened back then, Yu’er was forced to be fostered by the Shen family. Soon, Yu’er will be recognized by her ancestors and return to her original surname,” Zhu Ying explained with a smile.

To acknowledge one's ancestors and return to one's roots.

This is something Zhu Ying is determined to do for Shen Yu'er.

They had become enemies with the Shen family.

Why would they continue to carry this surname while living abroad?

Zhu Ying had already found out where Liu Bowen's second son was, and he would find an opportunity to ask the emperor after the New Year to tell him about Shen Yu'er's situation.

"I see."

Upon hearing Zhu Ying's explanation, Lan Yu suddenly realized what was happening, but didn't ask any further questions.

"Before I returned to Yingtian, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince had taken in a godchild, who was the son of the Marquis of Champion."

"I was quite surprised at first, but seeing him today, the son of the Marquis of Champion really does resemble an old friend," Mu Ying said with deep emotion.

Zhu Ying naturally knew who the old friend Mu Ying was referring to was, but he didn't say much, and smiled and said, "Perhaps, this is also a kind of fate."

It's also at this time!
"By imperial decree, all officials shall enter the palace for a royal banquet, and the entire court shall celebrate together."

Yun Qi walked up the steps and shouted loudly.

With that sound.

It was accompanied by the sound of a drum.

A thud.

It was extremely deafening.

"It's time to enter the hall."

"You two, please."

Zhu Ying snapped out of his daze and looked toward the Fengtian Hall.

He then gestured for Xu Huizu and Mu Ying to enter.

"please."

Xu Huizu and Mu Ying did not hesitate. They immediately became serious and headed towards the Fengtian Hall.

The many civil and military officials who were originally waiting in the square also straightened their clothes and began to head towards the Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

But at the moment.

Xu Miaojin and Mu Ya's minds were no longer on Fengtian Hall. Although there were two of them, their eyes lingered on Zhu Ying and Zhu Wenxi.
