Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Yunwen, started by resurrecting my grandmother.

"To tell you the truth, my husband died and I'm all alone. So, I thought about finding a new wife to enjoy my old age. I haven't found a suitable one yet, until I met you. I think you're not too bad looking, so I'll just have to make do with you as my husband." The old hag said it very seriously and so naturally.

"Pah! Aren't you ashamed? How old are you? You're still thinking about this kind of thing!" Zhu Yunhua was so angry that she didn't know how to scold her.

Upon hearing this, the old hag also became angry and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "What, you're not happy? So, this old woman is destined to spend the rest of her life alone?"

"I'd rather stay single my whole life than marry you," Zhu Yunwen blurted out.

"Say it again!"

"I'll say it a hundred times, and it'll still be the same attitude!" Zhu Yunwen raised his head.

"You brat, you think I'm too old and ugly, don't you?"

Zhu Yunwen remained silent.

"If you don't agree to our marriage, I'll kill you, you believe me?"

As the old witch finished speaking, she pulled a precious sword from her waist; it was none other than Zhu Yunwen's Seven Star Sword.

"You ruined my whip, but I think this knife is pretty good, so I'll consider it compensation for my whip."

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself that this old hag was quite rude, but she felt perfectly at ease with it.

You should know how many whips I can exchange for this precious sword of mine.

However, now I am at their mercy, and all that talk is useless.

Zhu Yunwen stared at her with wide eyes.

She drew her precious sword, approached Zhu Yunwen, and held the tip to his neck, asking once more, "I'm giving you one last chance. Will you agree to our marriage?"

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes: "Kill me now, give me a quick death!"

"You brat, you think I wouldn't kill you? I..."

Zhu Yunwen waited for a long time, but didn't hear any movement.

He could smell a girl's fragrance in his nostrils, which was refreshing and pleasant.

He opened his eyes, and the old hag was gone.

Standing before him was a stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman looked different from the women of the Central Plains. She had a straight back, a slender figure, a nose like a hanging gall bladder, a cherry-like mouth, a long and thin neck, and breath as sweet as orchids. Her eyebrows carried a kind of heroic spirit.

Although the skin is a little rough, it looks healthier.

Zhu Yunwen noticed that she was dressed in the same clothes as the old witch from before, and she was also holding the Seven Star Sword in her hand.

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask, "Who...who are you?"

"Who am I? Haven't you figured it out yet?" The girl waved the Seven Star Sword in front of Zhu Yunwen, her voice no longer hoarse and deep, but gentle.

Zhu Yunwen's mind was racing.

"You're that old monster... the old man?"

"You're pretty smart, kid!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had told him last night that there was a woman in the Northern Yuan who was skilled in disguise and was named Guanyin Nu.

Could it be her?

"Are you Guanyin's slave, Minmin Timur?"

"Have you heard of my name? I also have a Han Chinese name, Wang Yuemin."

"Have you fought against Zhu Gaoxu before?" Zhu Yunwen straightened his posture.

"That kid stole an old man's mask from me. I wonder how many bad things he's done wearing that mask."

"Originally, that mask and this witch's mask were a pair, but now there's only one left." Guanyin Nu said, putting away the precious sword in her hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen understood.

His eyes darted around. "That mask is with me, but I left it at the Beiping Inn. I'll return it to you when I have the chance."

Guanyin Nu placed her hands in front of her abdomen and paced back and forth in the tent, slowly saying, "If it's with you, then you don't need to return it; consider it a memento."

That's a minor matter.

Now I want to ask you again, are you ready to agree to our marriage?

Zhu Yunwen lowered his head and remained silent.

"You don't need to answer right away, listen to me first."

You were originally the legitimate grandson of the emperor, while Zhu Yunwen was born to Lady Lü and could not be considered the legitimate grandson of the emperor.

Even if Lady Lü was later elevated to the position of empress, it still wouldn't work.

If our marriage goes through, then you will be the prince consort of our Northern Yuan.

I can convince my father to help you conquer the world.

His hometown still has more than 100,000 troops.

Zhu Di dared to kill our envoy, which enraged my father. Therefore, he sent troops to punish him, and I was the vanguard. The main army arrived shortly after.

Zhu Di deserved to die.

However, you could first ally with Zhu Di and conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Then, you can deal with Zhu Di, and then the entire Ming Dynasty will be yours.

If you're willing, we can get married and consummate our marriage tomorrow.

What do you think?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's heart stirred, and he thought that Guanyin Nu's suggestion was indeed feasible.

If one has an army of over 100,000,

All he had to do was hand over these troops to his maternal grandfather, Chang Yuchun.

My maternal grandfather was a legendary warrior; he was almost never defeated.

In this way, my situation wouldn't have deteriorated to this point.

Zhu Yunwen pondered for a moment: "Thank you for your kind offer, but I cannot accept it."

"You!" Guanyin Nu blushed with anger upon hearing his words. "You're still thinking about that Zhao Ning'er, aren't you?"

"I'll go and kill her right now. If she's dead, you'll have nothing left to worry about."

As Guanyin Nu finished speaking, she called out towards the door, "Someone come here!"

At this moment, a female soldier walked in from outside and bowed, saying, "Princess, please give your orders."

"Assemble all the troops immediately and follow me to kill Zhao Ning'er."

"promise!"

The female soldier agreed and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Zhu Yunwen shouted.

The female soldier stared at Guanyin Nu.

Guanyin Nu looked at Zhu Yunwen with her beautiful eyes: "You've agreed to marry me?"

"No, that's not it. I wanted to tell you that if you really kill Zhao Ning'er, then I will die in front of you," Zhu Yunwen said firmly.

"You little brat, you want to die, don't you? I'll grant your wish right now!"

……

It was the third watch of the night.

There was no moon, and it was pitch black outside.

Guanyin Nu was resting in the tent.

Suddenly she felt something tearing at the hem of her pants.

She opened her sleepy eyes, looked down, and saw that it was Fu Bao. She let out a low call.

Fu Bao has been trained, so if this happens, it means there is danger.

Guanyin quickly dressed and got off the bed, calling out, "Alan, Chana!"

But no one answered her calls for a long time.

Just then, the female guard ran over: "Princess, weren't you out on patrol just now?"

"Nonsense, when did I go out?"

The female soldier scratched her head: "Something terrible has happened! Chang Yuchun's army has come to raid our camp!"

Guanyin's servant was also taken aback: "How many troops have come?"

"Banners were everywhere, making it impossible to tell how many troops had arrived."

"Quickly bring Zhu Yunwen with you and retreat immediately!"

"promise!"

A moment later, the female guard ran back and reported to Guanyin Nu, "Zhu Yuntong is missing."

"What?!" Guanyin Nu's head was buzzing. "How could this happen? Where are Alan and Chana?"

"They were both drunk."

"Those two wretched maids!"

It turned out that although Guanyin was furious, she couldn't bear to kill Zhu Yunwen.

She stormed off and went to rest in another tent, instructing Alan and Chana to prepare food and drink for Zhu Yunzhuo.

Alan and Chana brought over wine and meat, saying they were going to feed Zhu Yunzhu.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "How could I possibly accept that?"

"It's okay, we're here just to serve you," Allen said.

"I would feel awkward and wouldn't be able to eat." Zhu Yunwen shook his head again, at this point he was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back.

"Has your marriage to the princess been arranged?"

Zhu Yunwen laughed heartily: "Your princess is too mischievous, dressing up as such an old witch. Tell me, how could I possibly agree to marry her?"

Allen and Chana both laughed.

"You don't know this, but our princess's disguise skills are unparalleled. She can impersonate anyone and look just like them. Not only can she disguise herself as a witch, but she can also disguise herself as a prince, a general, or even a wild beast."

"Later, she took off her mask, and I realized she was a beautiful woman."

Well, well, that's why I agreed to the marriage.

She said she would marry me tomorrow. Zhu Yunwen said it as if it were true.

"You're right to think that way. Our princess is a famous beauty in our area, and there are countless men who like her, but she doesn't like any of them."

"So, can you two untie me now?" Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile. "Are you going to keep me tied up like this even after our wedding tomorrow?"

After discussing it, Allen and Chana felt that Zhu Yuntong didn't seem like a bad person; he seemed quite honest, and what he said made sense.

So, the two of them took it upon themselves to untie Zhu Yunwen's ropes.

Because he had been tied up for so long, Zhu Yunwen's hands and feet went numb.

He stretched his limbs and said to Allen and Chana, "You two sit down and eat too."

"How can that be? You are the master, and we are the servants."

"It's alright, there are no outsiders here. Let's sit down and have some food and drinks."

"this--."

Allen and Chana found the food and drinks smelled delicious.

So the two of them boldly sat down: "You mustn't tell the princess, okay?"

"I know, why did I say all this?"

As Zhu Yunwen spoke, he poured a glass of wine for each of them.

Women in the Northern Yuan Dynasty all drink alcohol, and they are often known for their forthright and generous personalities.

Allen and Chana then started drinking.

Once you pick up that glass, you can't stop.

Zhu Yunwen kept offering toasts, and before long, Alan and Chana were both drunk and fell asleep on the table.

Zhu Yunwen chuckled at the sight, thinking to himself that the women of Beiyuan didn't know how to limit their drinking.

Zhu Yunwen found a set of witch's clothes from the bedside and put them on. Although they were a bit tight, he made do with them and then put on the old man's mask.

He swaggered out.

The female guards outside the tent mistook her for Guanyin's slave.

Zhu Yunwen wandered around for a while, then went to the stable, led out a horse, mounted it, and left the camp.

When Guanyin Nu heard that Chang Yuchun had led his army to arrive, she dared not think of fighting and led her troops to retreat, leaving behind an empty camp.

Chang Yuchun and his men acquired a considerable amount of gongs, drums, tents, knives, guns, and utensils.

the next morning.

Upon seeing Zhu Yunwen, Zhao Ning'er immediately threw herself into his arms.

Zhu Yunwen gently patted her back.

After a while, Zhu Yunwen placed his hands on her shoulders and asked, "We haven't had any casualties, have we?"

"No, not at all," Zhao Ning'er looked at Zhu Yunwen with concern. "That old hag didn't give you any trouble, did she?"

"Her?" Zhu Yunwen paused. "No."

"That old hag is too vicious. If my grandfather hadn't arrived in time, we would have suffered at her hands."

Zhu Gaochi did not expect that Zhu Yunwen would return so smoothly.

He walked up to Zhu Yunwen, feeling quite embarrassed: "Yunwen, yesterday you told me to run, so I did. I never expected you to fall for that old hag's wicked scheme."

"I desperately want to go back and save you, but we are outnumbered. Even if I returned, it would be a drop in the ocean."

Zhu Yunwen thought to himself, "You're only concerned with escaping for your own life. How could you possibly care about me? You probably wish I would die sooner."

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly: "Brother, you don't need to blame yourself, it's not your fault."

"I'm glad you understand."

Zhu Yunwen said to Chang Yuchun, "Grandfather, you should station the troops outside Beiping City. I will go into the city with my brother. Please ask Fourth Uncle to arrange the handover procedures for Zhang Bing, Xie Gui, and Zhang Xin as soon as possible."

They can then go and take up their posts. Once their business is finished, we can go back.

Chang Yuchun was a little worried: "Then be careful."

"Please rest assured, maternal grandfather."

Zhao Ning'er shook Zhu Yunwen's arm: "Then I'll go into the city with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunwen immediately shook his head: "That won't do, it would be too inconvenient."

"No, I'm going anyway." Zhao Ning'er pouted.

Zhu Yunwen, unable to resist her nagging any longer, had no choice but to agree: "After you enter the city, you are not allowed to run around. You must obey my every command."

"Fine, you can decide everything, okay?"

Zhao Ning'er smiled when she saw that Zhu Yunwen had agreed.

Thus, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhao Ning'er rode three horses into Beiping City.

Soon, the three of them entered the Prince of Yan's residence.

Zhu Gaoxu came out to greet them: "Why are you only coming back now? Something happened at home."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaochi turned pale with fright: "What happened at home?"

"You'll see when you come in."

The three followed Zhu Gaoxu into the courtyard.

A person stands in the center of the courtyard.

The man was disheveled, his chest was exposed, a hemp rope was tied around his waist, he wore a shoe on his left foot but was barefoot on his right foot, and the right trouser leg was rolled up high, as if he had just come ashore from planting rice in the field.

The man muttered something like, "The Jade Emperor is my brother, and the Queen Mother of the West is my sister-in-law. They sent me to the human world to save the people."

Who among you dares to mess with me?

"If you provoke me, I'll have the judges on the left and right, and the Black and White Impermanence arrest you all!"

As he spoke, the man picked up a brick from the ground, stuffed it into his mouth, and took a bite: "It's delicious! You should have some too."

Immediately, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the man, his face darkened, and he said to Zhu Gaoxu, "Gaoxu, you really are something else, letting a madman run amok in the courtyard."

Why aren't you getting him out of here right now?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu grinned and said, "Big brother, take a closer look and see who he is!"
