Just like Zhu Qi thought, he just stayed in Chengdu for two more days before Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict arrived.

It is said that the rider who delivered the letter changed three people on the road and ran away for five horses. He delivered the imperial edict five days ago.

This is really a standard 800-li expedited speed.

The content in the imperial edict was not complicated. First, he praised Zhu Qi's wit and courage, and summoned Zhu Qi to return to the court as soon as possible.

On the other hand, it is necessary to appoint General Xu Da to fight on the plateau, so as to prevent the counterattack of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Qi felt relieved when he saw this. It seemed that Zhu Yuanzhang was still very clear-headed.

Instead of handing over such an important war to myself, a young boy, he let the experienced veteran Xu Da handle it.

After all, Wang Baobao's counterattack is foreseeable, but I don't know whether the soldiers will happen this year or next year in Hongwu.

But no matter what, the intensity of the battle is foreseeable.

But now is not the best time to set off, because Zhu Qi has to go home with Bai Tang Yuer.

Bai Tang Yu'er's hometown is in Bashu. Although it is Bashu, it is already remote and belongs to the southern barbarians.

At least it will disappear as you walk along the official road.

The official road is still a small matter, after all, there are still small paths to walk on.

But Zhu Qi told Bai Tang Yuer on the way that after arriving at his hometown, he must not be said to be the King of Liao of the Ming Dynasty.

Bai Tang Yuer was naturally very confused, so Zhu Qi explained that he was afraid that his identity would be too big and scared his family. If he did not agree to the marriage, wouldn’t it be a mistake?

The reason is very clumsy, and Zhu Qi really didn't tell the truth.

The main reason is that the leaders of today's ethnic minorities are all local emperors, and that is a state of high autonomy.

For others, marrying their daughter into the royal family may be a great thing, but for these ethnic minority chieftains, it may not be necessary.

There are so many royal affairs, so how could they know what would happen? What's more, these chieftains all hope to stay away from the central court as much as possible. They are naturally very resistant to marriage with the royal family.

So, three days later...

——————

Chongshanzhai, when I heard this name, I thought it was where bandits gathered.

But in fact, it is the place where the Li tribes of Bashu gather.

Although it is a village, it is actually a very large-scale town built on a high hill.

In the highlands of the town, a huge round fort was built with earth and stone, which looked similar to a Western castle, but this was definitely not a Western castle.

It is a building with very ethnic and local characteristics, a circular turret, also known as a circular turret.

Such a round fort has strong defense, can store food, and can even farm on its own. As long as you dig a few more wells, it will be no problem to stay for a lifetime.

If there are no four or five thousand people, or heavy siege equipment, they will not be able to take it down.

However, as firearms develop more and more, the defense of the city walls is actually becoming increasingly weakened.

At least the firearms and cannons in the Hongwu period could be knocked down for a few more days.

Zhu Qi looked at the round castle in the distance, but he didn't expect that he was thinking about how to conquer him.

Even questions such as how to arrange troops, how much troops, how much logistics, how to arrange supplies, etc. suddenly popped up in my mind.

Zhu Qi was shocked. It seemed that the ancients said, "Practice makes perfect, and it is really not a lie."

After so many years of influence, Zhu Qi was a little surprised that he could reflectively produce these military professional knowledge and demonstrate professional qualities.

Bai Tang Yuer looked at the round fort in the distance and the town surrounding the round fort, and said happily to Zhu Qi:

"Your Highness, that's my home. How about it, the mountains and rivers are beautiful."

What kind of scene did Zhu Qi have never seen before? This wild mountain and forest has almost never been developed. It has wildness and its beauty is still a little less.

But if you really have to evaluate it honestly, even if it’s not a slap in your head?

Zhu Qi naturally praised him and even remembered a poem by Li Bai.

However, Bai Tang Yuer turned red and asked:

"Is this a poem you wrote? It sounds very nice."

Good guy, I can't mess with Zhu Qi anymore. I don't know if it's serious or deliberately joking.

Since Zhu Qi wanted to conceal his identity, it was naturally impossible for him to go to Chongshan Village as a prince.

Instead, he was once again named Tang Qi, the young castle owner of Tangjiabao.

However, because Bai Tang Yuer's father is from the Tang family in Bashu, he must not claim to be the Tang family in Bashu. He has greeted him. We are now from Yingtian Prefecture and Tang family in Tang family in!

Bai Tang Yu'er led everyone down the mountain and walked towards Chongshan Village at the foot of the mountain.

Halfway through, I saw some women and girls picking up mushrooms in the mountains.

At first, the women found that outsiders came over, and they looked quite nervous and alert. But when they saw clearly that it was Bai Tang Yuer, the women's alertness was suddenly put down and they all came forward happily.

"Yu'er! Why are you back?"

"Didn't you go to Chengdu with your father?"

"I heard that I went to learn from my master. I have achieved success in my studies? What have I learned?"

The women gathered up and chattered, especially the girls, who were most intimate about Bai Tang Yuer.

They asked a lot of questions, and Bai Tang Yuer was dizzy when asked, but before she could answer, the girls looked at Zhu Qi and others next to her.

Everyone's eyes were naturally attracted by Zhu Qi. Zhu Qi was a handsome guy. Which woman doesn't like to look at handsome guys?

Zhu Qi was already used to the obsessed gaze of girls. There was no way, who made him look handsome? This kind of pain is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Seeing that the girls were all looking at him, Zhu Qi naturally would not let the girls watch him. He bowed his hand and said with a smile:

"In Xia Tang Qi, the young master of Tangjiabao, Yingtian Prefecture, I have met all the sisters."

After Zhu Qi gave him polite greetings, the girls immediately began to ask around Zhu Qi in excitement.

"There are also round castles like us in the Central Plains?"

"The Tang surname is very common in Bashu, but I didn't expect that Yingtian Mansion would be the same."

"Young man is so handsome!"

"How old is the young master?"

The Li girls asked Zhu Qi about everything, which was quite open. The Li girls were different from the Han girls.

However, Bai Tang Yuer came over and waved her hands continuously, waved all the girls around Zhu Qi, and then said:

"Everyone stops, stop, you don't have to think about this young master. He is the one my aunt likes!"

Bai Tang Yu'er declared sovereignty without hesitation, and even Gao Jin, Xu Zengshou, Li Qi, Li Jinglong and Zhu Di and others beside him were stunned.

When the girls heard Bai Tang Yuer say this, they all showed extremely regretful expressions, and could only leave Zhu Qi's side.

But they soon saw Zhu Di next to them.

Zhu Di is Zhu Qi's younger brother, so the two of them naturally look very similar. Of course, it is also true that Zhu Di is not as beautiful as Zhu Qi.

But Zhu Disheng was young and was also a prince. The temperament he cultivated since childhood was not comparable to that of ordinary rich young men.

The girls surrounded Zhu Di and started asking questions:

"The young master and Mr. Tang Qi look very similar. Are they a family?"

"What's your name?"

"Is the young master also from Tangjiabao?"

Zhu Di is not as experienced as Zhu Qi. He is surrounded by so many girls. Although the scene is similar to when he was in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, you know that it is okay to get close to the girls in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

These girls are different. According to official language, these are good families. If Zhu Di dares to touch one of them casually, Zhu Yuanzhang will find out, it will be a great thing.

Don’t think that the prince can do whatever he wants. Among so many sons in history, there are really few who dare to be a bastard.

Zhu Di naturally did not have the courage to be a playboy prince, and suddenly stayed in place with stiffness. Zhu Qi was still quick to react and asked Bai Tang Yuer to help her relieve the siege.

Zhu Qi also introduced Zhu Di and others by the way. Zhu Di was his younger brother and directly handed over to Tang Ba.

The rest of the people have all their names and their names have not changed. If they are just identities, they must not be children of nobles, but they just refer to their retainers.

It's quite in line with the actual situation.

Bai Tang Yuer asked the girls to work on their own, and she wanted to take Zhu Qi and others back to Chongshan Village to meet her mother, and tell her mother the good news about her finding the Ruyi Langjun.

When everyone heard that Bai Tang Yuer was going to take Zhu Qi and others back to Chongshan Village for this reason, their faces became a little strange.

I heard one of the girls pull Bai Tang Yuer and say:

"Yu'er, you'd better not go back."

Bai Tang Yuer was a little strange and asked:

"Don't go back? That's my house, why not go back?"

Another girl next to her followed and said:
