Ming Dynasty: Gain one supernatural power every day

After finishing the business, Zhu Gaoxi added, "Father, my somersault cloud is very fast, I'll be back in a little while. You can go ahead, I'll find you when the time comes."

Then he walked out of the post station and summoned his somersault cloud. As for why he didn't ride Little Gold...

As I said before, only those who have ridden a dragon know how difficult it is to ride. And every time it's released, Little Gold lets out a howl, which is so disturbing. It's not like it's a big dog, it just keeps barking.

The soldiers who were packing up their tents in the camp outside saw His Highness Prince Rui ascend into the sky on a cloud again, and they all looked up and stopped what they were doing.

"Where is Your Highness Prince Rui going? Why did you fly away again?"

"Is that even a question? He must have gone back to Heaven. His Highness is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor; Heaven is his true home."

"What do you mean 'returning to Heaven'? Your Highness is clearly the reincarnation of Yama, the King of Hell. You must have gone back to the Underworld to handle official business."

"Isn't the underworld underground? Why is it flying into the sky?"

"How do you know the underworld is underground? Maybe it's in heaven. Anyway, we've never seen it."

The soldiers looked at each other and agreed that there seemed to be some truth to what they said. They nodded and continued to pack up their tents.

Inside the post station, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu were still engrossed in studying the jade plaque.

The two of them held their jade pendants, their expressions focused, like children who had just received new toys.

After activating the jade pendant, the first screen is for setting up personal information. You need to choose a code name and upload a profile picture.

Actually, Zhu Gaoxi added the avatar feature because he saw it in the sound transmission technique. Generally, immortal cultivation sects don't add avatar features to their sound transmission jade tablets to prevent revealing too much information.

Just like on the battlefield of Goose and Crow, an enemy agent pretended to be a lonely housewife and made contact with the enemy's high-ranking officers through a chat program. As a result, the other party sent photos directly, and based on those photos, they were able to pinpoint the location and immediately unleash a barrage of artillery fire on the enemy.

But in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxi was a god, and there was no need to consider these things.

Zhu Di stared at the jade tablet for a long time before taking a proper photo of his face.

In the photo, the Yongle Emperor is dressed in a black military uniform, with the Yongle Sword at his waist, exuding an imposing aura.

He looked at the photo, nodded in satisfaction, and then typed four words in the code field: "Still as sharp as ever."

The name is a bit strange, because he has already been made younger by the fourth brother, and looks at most twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, which doesn't fit the phrase "still sharp as ever".

Overall, Zhu Di's portrait and name are quite normal.

Zhu Gaoxu, standing next to him, was a completely different story.

He held the jade pendant, looking at his face from left and right, changing the angle seven or eight times, and finally took a side profile photo.

A sharply defined jawline, slightly furrowed brows, and those sharp eyes tempered by the fires of war.

He stared at his profile picture for a long time, muttering to himself, "This one is fucking handsome," "My profile could charm half of Yingtian Prefecture," and "That woman, Lady Wei, got a good deal."

After studying it for a long time, I finally figured it out. Then I entered four words in the code field: "Iron-blooded tenderness." As expected of a middle-aged man, he really knows how to choose a good name.

Once the settings were complete, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't wait to call out to the jade tablet, "Father! Is it me? Is it me?"

Zhu Di sat opposite him, his eardrums ringing from the shout. He glanced at him with disdain, then said two words to the jade token in his hand: "It's you."

At the same time, Zhu Di's voice came from the jade tablet in Zhu Gaochi's hand: "It's you."

"They really know how to talk!"

Speaking of this, we have to mention the "Beria Incident" of the post-80s generation, except this time the victim was Zhu Di.

As the two were engrossed in their study, Zhang Fu's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, the army is ready to depart. Prince Rui just rode away on a cloud; should we wait for him?"

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi both looked up at the same time, their faces a little dazed. They had been so engrossed in studying the jade tablet that they had almost forgotten about the march.

Zhu Di was the first to regain his senses. He put the other jade tokens into his gourd, tucked the one for himself into his sleeve, stood up, and strode out: "No need to wait for him. Fourth Prince's somersault cloud is fast; he'll catch up on his own in a moment. Pass down the order: the entire army is to set off."

Zhu Gaoxu also tucked the jade pendant into his robes, stood up, and muttered to himself whether the previous portrait was handsome enough and whether he should change it.

Zhu Gaoxi rode his somersault cloud, flying back at ten times the speed of sound.

As he flew, his communication jade pendant vibrated. He looked at it and saw that Zhu Gaoxu had already registered, with the code name "Iron-Blooded Tenderness" and a profile picture of his profile.

He clicked on the profile picture and almost burst out laughing. His second brother's taste was truly something else. And that nickname... he seriously wondered if his second brother had traveled back in time.

He set his name, profile picture, and nickname last night, and took a picture from a random angle. He looks incredibly handsome, just like all of you readers.

He named himself Zhu Gaoxi, after all, nicknames are very important. If you choose a random name, it will be embarrassing if someone discovers it during archaeological digging. Like his second brother, he would never have a chance to regret it later. He kept all of these as evidence.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the outline of Yingtian Prefecture had already appeared beneath our feet.

He descended from the clouds and landed directly in the courtyard of Kunning Palace. The palace maids at the gate were stunned when they saw him, and then turned around and ran into the palace.

"Why is this child back now?" Empress Xu was looking through the palace accounts in the palace when she heard the maid say that Prince Rui had returned. She put the account books on the table and got up to go out.

She walked to the palace gate and saw Zhu Gaoxi standing in the courtyard. She quickly stepped forward, took Zhu Gaoxi's hand, and asked, "Xi'er, didn't you just set off yesterday? Why are you back today? Did something happen on the way? Or did you suffer some injustice?"

Zhu Gaoxi smiled and shook his head, following Empress Xu into the hall. After sitting down, he summoned a pile of jade tablets from his gourd and placed them on the table: "Mother, I came back mainly to give you something. These are communication jade tablets. From now on, you can talk to me anytime, no matter how far apart we are, while I'm in the palace. We can even have video calls, which means we can talk face-to-face."

He pointed to the pile of jade tablets on the table, "Please send these to my eldest brother, third brother, and sister-in-law, so it will be easier for us to chat."

Then he briefly explained how to use it and helped Empress Xu with the blood oath ceremony.

After finishing all that, he stood up and said, "Mom, I'm leaving now. Just send me a message here if you need anything. Dad and the others are waiting for me."

"Slow down, you child." Empress Xu stood up, her face showing some reluctance, and reached out to straighten his clothes.

Zhu Gaoxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother," then turned and left the palace, summoning lightning to fly towards Taiping Prefecture.

Empress Xu held the jade pendant and looked at the code names that had automatically appeared in the contact list—"A Sharp Sword Still Sharp, Iron-Blooded Yet Tender," Zhu Gaoxi.

"This second one," she smiled, pursing her lips, and clicked on the profile picture called "Iron-Blooded Tenderness" to take a look.

"Old Zhu is still quite energetic," he said, glancing at the "still sharp as ever" photo.

Finally, his gaze fell on the simple and clear name "Zhu Gaoxi," and he said softly, "This child is so honest even when choosing a name. He's really a good child."
