Chapter 89 Zhu Yuanzhang Returns Empty-Handed
"That's a motherfucker! That's a motherfucker!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the muddy mountain road while cursing.

The knights behind him couldn't help but laugh, but soon realized that they couldn't offend their leader and their bodies twitched.

Just now,

Zhu Yuanzhang spent more than a month to finally find Liu Bowen's hometown. But when he entered the village, he not only met an old man with Alzheimer's disease who took advantage of him, but he was also told that Liu Bowen had not been home for many years.

I heard from the villagers that Liu Bowen lost his official position and returned to Qingtian once 8 years ago. Later, he served as the deputy supervisor of Confucian scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for a year. However, less than a year later, he was forced to resign again because he reported the Censor.

Later, I heard that he went to that village to become a teacher. Some people also saw him and this monk in Hangzhou, and the monk exchanged poems and essays with him all day long.

Anyway, I’m not in Qingtian.

After all this going on for three months, Zhu Yuanzhang had gained nothing.

He was now complaining madly about why this heavenly book was not written in more detail.

The men coughed and asked Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Marshal, shall we continue searching?"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:
"Looking for shit! Damn it, let's just wait and see after we take this place down."

The guard leader nodded and asked, "Shall we go back?"

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his chin and shook his head:
"Forget it, we've already come out, now let's find someone else and go to Dingyuan!"

Several cavalrymen looked at each other, wondering who the big shot was in Dingyuan.

However, as younger brothers, they naturally didn't say much. They just nodded and followed silently.

What they didn't know was that it was just the twelfth year of Zhizheng, and in another month Guo Zixing would respond to Liu Futong's White Lotus uprising.

The woman named Ma predicted by the God of Land was now waiting for her ideal husband to come and pick her up on a seven-colored auspicious cloud.

Riding at full speed, dong dong dong, another half month has passed.

Three months passed in this round trip.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang understand the meaning of the words of the land god: "If you want to get rich, build roads first."

If he didn't have the MC quantum map that allowed him to obtain intelligence on the base at any time through real-time sharing, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come out and hire someone in person.

Now that he can get information about the base at any time, he naturally doesn't need to rush back.

With the solid walls and Tang He and Xu Da supporting them, it would be impossible for the imperial court to capture Guangzhou as long as the food and grass in the city were not used up.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether I am in Gwangju or not. It would be a shame not to seize such a good opportunity.

The group rode quickly to Dingyuan.

Soon they heard that Guo Zixing was indeed raising an army to respond and was about to prepare to attack Haozhou City.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly when he heard this, and immediately led his men to Guo Zixing's mansion.

"who!"

The two strong men held the long swords tightly in their hands and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang and his group nervously.

Although they had decided to rebel, they were still extremely nervous about the prospect of being beheaded.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:
"Don't panic. I heard that they are going to rebel against that damn court, so I brought my brothers to join Marshal Guo."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the landlord's compound behind them and raised his eyebrows.
There were very few landlords like this who stood up against the imperial court. After all, their interests were the same as those of the imperial court, and they themselves were not in any trouble, so they would basically not consider such a deal of killing nine generations of their clan.

In Tianyu's words, the risks and benefits are not proportional at all.

The concierge looked at the tall and strong Zhu Yuanzhang and the dozen or so cavalrymen behind him, swallowed hard, and bowed, saying:
"Wait a moment, warrior. We are going to report to the Master...er...the Marshal right now!"

The concierge ran into the courtyard.
At this time, in a hall, a group of men wearing red turbans were pointing and talking loudly on a crude map, as if they could drive out the Tartars and sweep across the Central Plains in the next moment.

One of them, a slightly fat middle-aged man, looked at the map hesitantly and nervously.

At this time, the doorman rolled in and shouted:

"Master! It's bad! There's a group of cavalrymen outside the door who look tough!"

The heroes who were shouting loudly inside the room were suddenly frightened and screamed, and everyone subconsciously took two steps back.

Now they are only kings in words. When they hear there are cavalrymen outside the door, they think the news has leaked and the imperial court is coming to arrest them.

The middle-aged man in the lead stood up, frowned and asked:

"Cavalry? Do they have a stated purpose for coming?"

As someone who dared to rebel, he is naturally not without any courage. Since the other party did not break in directly, it means that the matter is not that serious.

What's more, he only spread the news in a small circle in the surrounding villages, and even the convening of the meeting was done in secret. Even if he was exposed, he could use the excuse of being framed.

The concierge calmed down and said with a little surprise:

"A group of cavalrymen who look tough have come to surrender to the master!"

"what?!"

Guo Zixing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Are they here to seek refuge with us?"

The concierge nodded and said:
"I said I wanted to rebel against the damn court. I happened to hear that the Marshal was going to start a rebellion, so I came to join him."

Guo Zixing laughed loudly: "God is helping me! Come with me to greet him!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage reduced Haozhou City (Fengyang County) to ruins eight years ago, Taoyuan Township did not occupy it because it did not value the small amount of land in the county town.

So a year later, the court sent some fearless officials back to Fengyang to reopen the city.

Now, after years of development, Fengyang County has finally regained its original popularity.

Even because some villagers from Taoyuan Township secretly came to the city to do business, Fengyang's popularity became higher than it was eight years ago.

However, because of the existence of the Taoyuan Township legend, the officials this time did not dare to go as far as the previous Darughachi.

But the defense of Fengyang is much stricter now than it was during the time of Zhu Yuanzhang.

This made Guo Zixing, who was preparing to attack, feel a little uneasy.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance made them overjoyed.
If there was a team of cavalry to support us, the attack on Haozhou City would definitely be more successful.

Guo Zixing walked out of the door excitedly.

His eyes lit up when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang and his guards wearing heroic leather armor.

Zhu Yuanzhang dismounted from his horse, stretched his neck to look inside the mansion, and was disappointed when he didn't see any female relatives.

Looking at the confused Guo Zixing,

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly extended his hand and bowed, saying with a smile:
"Junior Tang He pays homage to Marshal Guo."

Guo Zixing laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Hahaha! With the help of Mr. Tang, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing the mission. Please!"
