Chapter 205 Why is Xu Miaojin here?
"Lord Chen Ling!"
Zhu Ming came to his senses when he saw the familiar figure through the firelight and sat up excitedly.
Chen Ling went to report the affairs in Shanxi to Zhu Yuanzhang. His return meant that the imperial court had also reached an agreement.
"What did your Majesty say?"
Zhu Ming hurriedly opened his mouth and asked about the news from the court.
"This... His Majesty ordered the surrounding provinces to send troops to support us."
Chen Ling also excitedly told Zhu Ming the news she brought.
With this support, Shanxi’s crisis can be easily resolved.
"Master Chen Ling must be tired after the long journey. Go and rest first."
Hearing that Chen Ling had brought reinforcements, Zhu Ming felt relieved.
But after he finished speaking, Chen Ling was stunned for a moment in embarrassment and looked out the door unconsciously.
"Master Chen Ling, what are you doing?"
Seeing Chen Ling's abnormal look, Zhu Ming asked in confusion.
"Your Highness, I brought someone else with me."
When questioned by Zhu Ming, Chen Ling spoke hesitantly and turned to look at the door.
Zhu Ming immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.
"The surname is Zhu!"
Before Zhu Ming could react, a coquettish voice came from outside the door.
Zhu Ming could only remember one person who dared to address the princes and grandsons of the emperor by their names, or even call them by their surname Zhu.
He turned his head tremblingly and followed Chen Ling to look at the door, then saw a graceful figure and smiled bitterly.
"Xu Miaojin, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Xu Miaojin standing at the door with her arms folded and glaring at him, Zhu Ming didn't know what to do for a moment.
What is this girl doing here?
Shanxi is so dangerous now, this is no time to joke.
"I came to see if you were dead or not."
Xu Miaojin groaned, strode in, looked Zhu Ming up and down, and was relieved to see that Zhu Ming was not injured.
Although the little fists hit Zhu Ming like raindrops.
This guy pretended to be dead when he came to Shanxi and scared himself.
Now I am in Shanxi and I am still worried!
The fist that hit Zhu Ming's body represented both her resentment and her worry.
"What are you doing? What are you doing!"
Zhu Ming hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xu Miaojin's hands, looking at this young lady helplessly.
"The road is so dangerous, and I haven't even told you yet."
There were countless bandits along the way from the capital to Shanxi. It was ridiculous for Xu Miaojin to come here.
"If I wasn't worried about you, I wouldn't have come."
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming without giving in. She was worried that something might happen to him and no one would help him.
Chen Ling, who was standing by, looked at the two teenagers looking at each other and shook her head helplessly.
These two people are obviously worried about each other, yet they can still quarrel.
"Miss, you must be tired on the way. Take a rest first."
He sighed inaudibly and spoke up to help Zhu Ming.
When Xu Miaojin heard Chen Ling speak, she remembered that there was someone next to her, and she was really tired, so she put her hand down.
"Hmph, let's talk about it tomorrow."
She lowered her head, turned and walked away.
As I walked out the door, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the little face that was already hot.
Fortunately, it was dark now and I couldn't see her face clearly.
"How did you bring her here?"
Chen Ling tried to persuade Xu Miaojin to leave, but Zhu Ming, instead of being grateful, started to blame her.
Chen Ling knew how dangerous it was here.
Why did Xu Miaojin, a teenage girl, bring him here?
"Your Highness, I went to inform His Majesty of the situation here as you said, and I was called over by Duke Wei's men just after I left the palace."
Chen Ling looked at Zhu Ming with helplessness on her face.
Zhu Ming was not surprised about this.
The Duke of Wei is backed by the nobles of Huaixi and is also Zhu Yuanzhang's close friend. He knows everything that happens in the palace.
"The lady came up and asked about the news here. After knowing the mutiny here, she insisted on following us no matter what."
Chen Ling looked at Zhu Ming and smiled bitterly.
"What about Duke Wei? Duke Wei didn't say anything?"
Knowing the whole story, Zhu Ming could only speak weakly.
Even if Xu Miaojin wants to come, will Duke Wei agree to this?
Hearing Zhu Ming's words, Chen Ling lowered her head again: "Duke Wei said that it would be a good idea to let Miss come with you to gain some experience."
If the Duke of Wei could come forward to stop it, I wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.
"This……"
After hearing Chen Ling's words, Zhu Ming was speechless.
What on earth is this Duke of Wei thinking about?
Duke of Wei Xu Da had been through many battles and it was impossible for him not to know how dangerous a mutiny was.
Why is he willing to let Xu Miaojin follow him? What on earth does he want to do?
"I have no choice but to dispatch another 20 Jinyiwei to protect the young lady."
Looking at Zhu Ming's speechless expression, Chen Ling felt the same way.
He had the same expression when he learned that Duke Wei agreed to let Xu Miaojin go with them.
"Forget it, it's here now."
After a moment of silence, Zhu Ming completely softened.
Now that Xu Miaojin is here, it is impossible to ask her to go back.
"Have those Jinyiwei follow her closely and never let anything happen to her."
All we can do now is try our best to protect Xu Miaojin's safety.
At least Chen Ling brought reinforcements, so this mutiny situation shouldn't last too long.
The next morning, Zhu Ming got up early.
In Shanxi, he even changed his habit of sleeping late.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Xu Miaojin waiting outside.
After resting here for a while and changing into clean clothes, Xu Miaojin's complexion looked much better.
"woke up?"
Xu Miaojin turned around, looked at Zhu Ming coldly, and asked.
"Uh...yes."
Noticing Xu Miaojin's bad mood, Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment before responding awkwardly.
Why is Xu Miaojin angry so early in the morning?
"Who's that girl outside?"
Xu Miaojin walked in front of Zhu Ming and stared into his eyes with her beautiful eyes.
In this government office, besides Xu Miaojin, Sijin is the only girl left.
Both Xu Miaojin and her partner have the habit of getting up early. After seeing Sijin, Xu Miaojin felt a sense of crisis.
I wonder if Zhu Ming will raise his children here.
Zhu Ming reacted immediately and told Si Jin everything about his encounter with her.
"Really?"
After listening to what Zhu Ming said, Xu Miaojin's emotions calmed down a little and she glanced at Zhu Ming with the side of her eyes.
"real."
Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively, fearing that Xu Miaojin would become suspicious.
"Let me tell you, you and I were engaged by Uncle Zhu!"
Xu Miaojin finally glared at Zhu Ming. If this boy wanted to cheat on those pretty women, she would not let him go.
"Know, know."
Zhu Ming was sweating profusely under Xu Miaojin's stare and nodded hurriedly in panic.
