Unlike the high-profile arrival, Zhu Yuanzhang's army, who was returning, seemed extremely quiet and low-key. The soldiers quietly slipped west along the ravines and deep forests of Zhongtiao Mountain, and did not dare to expose their traces at all. When they came, they "collected taxes" from the wealthy families in several counties along the way, so there was a lot of food left. After digging into Zhongtiao Mountain, even if they didn't go out for a long time, they could barely have enough food.

There were always towns in the mountains in later generations, and even in the vague places, an observatory or a biological observatory would suddenly emerge. But this era is different. Once you enter the deep mountains, you can't meet a person no matter how you go, and you can almost completely sneak.

Zhu Yuanzhang's army spent dozens of days trekking through Zhongtiao Mountain, until late autumn, and finally returned to Zhongtiao Mountain in the south of Puzhou City.

The army temporarily stationed here, and then sent a small team to go down the mountain in the night, and then traveled west for a while, crossed the Yellow River to contact Sanlang, asking him to prepare a ferry on the edge of the Yellow River. Then the army went down the mountain at night and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhu Yuanzhang was mentally prepared to be discovered if he was discovered, and he also thought of countermeasures. If he was discovered, he had no choice but to arrest the person who found him and go to Baishui with a straitor.

Fortunately, there was no family from the southwest foot of Zhongtiao Mountain to the edge of the Yellow River! There was originally a town called Hanyang Town in the middle of the journey, but it was burned into ruins by the 36th Battalion as early as last year. No one knew that he had attacked Phoenix City and persuaded Baiyuzhu to rebel. And the Baishui Zhu Bajun, who appeared on the edge of Zezhou City, appeared magically back to Shaanxi again.

Everyone thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang's army has penetrated into the Taihang Mountains!

When Zhu Yuanzhang and others set foot on the land of Shaanxi again, the first thing they saw was the simple and simple smile behind him. Yang Hong, Yicheng, Yiduoyun and others also came. Everyone laughed and said, "Brother Zhu, second brother Wang, brother Miao Mei, brother Grand Marshal, sister Xue Hongqi... Are you okay?"

"Ha, of course it's very good!" Wang Er punched Sanlang: "Is the situation here good?"

"It's okay. A few months ago, an inspector came. We just fooled it with Brother Leng Feng's trick." A city reported the story to Xue Hongqi. He was not very knowledgeable. He told a story and couldn't explain it clearly for a long time. In the end, Xue Hongqi had to kick the city away and ran to listen to Yang Hongfu's story. Only then did he understand what was going on here.

Everyone was sweating, it was so dangerous! Hong Chengchou was indeed a difficult guy. Fortunately, he was unable to do anything and could only leave such things to his hands. However, when the quality of the court officials collapsed as a whole, it was really useless to send his hands to do this.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart that the country was about to perish. There were many evil spirits. Even though there were a few capable talents like Hong Chengchou, Sun Chengzong, and Lu Xiangsheng, they were not three heads and six arms, and they did not have the eyes to see each other. They could not take care of many things, and they had to rely on others to do them. As a result, they were bad on others, and good intentions could do bad things... This is the fundamental reason why the disease was treated with ointment and blindness in the Ming Dynasty in the end...

It must be broken first! The completely corrupt bureaucratic system is completely broken. Then rebuilding it on the ruins is the best way to save the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately... this is something that cannot be done by the court! Either someone rebels or someone has to coup. It is just a dream to rely on the court's own strength to turn the world around!

This is also the fundamental reason why countries always reincarnate one after another... The more a huge country is, the more likely it is to accumulate contradictions. After a few hundred years, all contradictions are entangled, causing the people in power to lose the ability to self-regulate. At this time, they must rely on external forces to break everything. The result is the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Round after round of regime change, one court falls, and the new court stands up! The infinite cycle of fate, everyone thinks that they can last for thousands of years, but everyone can only live for hundreds of years, lose their vitality and die in despair.

This problem is difficult to solve, and all mankind is troubled by this. However, Western countries later found a compromise plan, which is the so-called two-party system. One court cannot adjust its own internal conflicts, so the two courts can rotate each other. On the one hand, they can help supervise the other court for adjustment, and on the other hand, they are forced to desperately adjust themselves because of the existence of a hostile court.

Although this cannot completely solve the problem, it can improve the regulating ability of the court and extend the vitality of the court. Zhu Yuanzhang has not decided which path he will take in the future, but the thoughts of the East and the West are within the scope of his consideration and reference.

"Okay, let's go home!" Xu Renjie said with a smile: "I've been away from home for a long time. Have you missed home? I missed home quite a lot."

"Tsk! A good man is determined by all directions!" Wang Er smiled and said, "What kind of man is a homesick man?"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed: "Master Marshal, it seems you are not a man..."

Xue Hongqi also smiled: "This guy is obviously not a man. Who is as funny as him and has no formal appearance? You should go home and take your wife and children!"

"Tsk! Do you think I am thinking of my wife at home? What do those yellow-faced women have to think about?" Xu Renjie hummed: "I underestimate my Grand Marshal too much. What I think of is the sixteen Puzhou Flang machine cannons we brought back home in one step... and those crossbows, which should have been built now? Hahaha, I can finally command artillery and crossbow formations...hahahaha..."

Everyone was speechless! After a long time of conversation, this guy was not thinking about home...

Miao Mei smiled bitterly and said, "Master Marshal, I really lost to you. As a result, you are more manly than me. I miss Huanglong Mountain Village a little bit. I don't want cannons or crossbows. I just think about the peaceful life in the village... I think that one day the whole world can do that."

When Xue Hongqi heard Xu Renjie say that there were a few yellow-faced women at home, his heart suddenly stumbled, and an unspeakable emotion spread in his heart... It turned out that this guy already had a wife! When she hadn't heard this before, she didn't care at all, and had never thought about this problem. When she actually heard it, she felt strange in her heart, she seemed a little disappointed, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief...

It turns out that I would care about this kind of hippie guy? She felt a little uncomfortable! Her eyes swept over Zhu Yuanzhang and thought: This guy is already a wife and a concubine. Look at Wang Er: This guy has Sister Yingshanhong. Look at Xu Renjie: This guy also has a few yellow-faced women at home. Look at Leng Feng, there is a Li Sanmei behind him.

Xue Hongqi's eyes fell helplessly on Pinxian Sanlang and Miao Mei, and thought quietly: Can I only choose one of these two guys?

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said, "Huh? Sanlang, what's the situation with this little girl behind you?"

When everyone heard this, they looked closely and noticed that a little girl was following Pinming Sanlang's butt. The girl was less than ten years old and was as thin as her face. Her eyes looked extremely big because she was too thin. She hugged behind Pinming Sanlang, and her small body was covered by Pinming Sanlang's big guy, so everyone never noticed her existence.

"Your daughter?" Xue Hongqi asked, crying bitterly: I have chosen one less person. I didn't expect that the daughters who are desperately Saburo never speaks or speaks are so big. It's really strange. Why can these ugly and stupid men find their daughters? I, a beautiful and good-looking heroine, can't marry the Ruyi Man? Where is the way of heaven? She felt sour in her heart, and naturally she was rude: "Brother Sanlang, I thought you were a character, but I didn't expect that you raised your daughter so thin. Has she eaten a ton of full meal? No one abused her daughter like you."

"No... it's not his daughter." Xu Renjie smiled and said, "It's the wandering child he kindly picked up... I happened to be at his house the day he picked it up. The child was even thinner at that time, but now he has grown a few taels of meat."

So that's it, everyone suddenly realized that it was the child he picked up.

Xue Hongqi's pretty face turned red and she felt relieved. Huh, fortunately, there were two more people to choose from, and almost became Miao Mei. She said aloofly: "Uh... the little sister said something abruptly just now. Please don't blame Brother Sanlang."

"How can you blame you!" Pangsanlang smiled and shook his head, stretched out his hand to stroke the little girl's head and said, "This child is so pitiful. I want her to live a human-like life, but it is inconvenient for me to raise her as a man. If Sister Xue Hongqi is..."

"No!" The little girl suddenly screamed and interrupted Saburo's words: "Don't give me to others... I want to follow Saburo... When I grow up, I will be my wife for Saburo."

Xue Hongqi: "..."

The leaders: “…”

I'm a thief, you're the one! Xue Hongqi cursed in his heart: Oh my God, this little girl is actually a strong enemy! A good man is one less if he is snatched away. You are still young, so don't fight with your sister who has not married at the age of 20?

"Little sister, it's not okay to speak like this. Girls should be more reserved. They have to wait for men to tell you about marriage. You can't take the initiative to say to men." Xue Hongqi scolded her with a slight smile.

"I'm going to say..." The little girl hugged Pinxian Sanlang's waist from behind. She was only a little taller, and she could only hold her waist, but she hugged her tightly, and her voice was quite firm: "My mother told me before she died that she had to say whatever she wanted. No one would want a woman who was too reserved... Well... Just like you, sister... I'm so old, my hair is still scattered on my shoulders, and I haven't tied it into a woman's bun... can't marry you?"

"Puchi!" Xue Hongqi fell backwards.
