Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

The next day.

In order to conceal his whereabouts and avoid being noticed, Jiang Lin did not arrange for Zhu Yuanzhang to go to the busy docks in Yingtian Prefecture where there was a large flow of people.

So, after Zhu Yuanzhang escaped from his own funeral, he traveled all afternoon and arrived at this remote pier not far from Yingtian Prefecture early this morning, ready to board the ship and head north along the canal.

After the heat of the past few days has subsided.

Autumn seems to have really arrived.

Perhaps it was a silent farewell to the Hongwu Emperor, who had spent half his life in Yingtian Prefecture, but a thin layer of mist rose near the dock, and a dense rain gradually began to fall from the sky...

"Your Majesty, I'll hold an umbrella for you. Please don't get yourself wet." A man in a coarse linen shirt beside Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly held an umbrella and bowed.

This person was Lu Wei, the follower arranged by Jiang Li for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

He pushed away the umbrella handle that was stretched out in front of him and said, "Go away! It's raining so lightly and you still want to use an umbrella. What kind of manly person are you? I won't use one!"

"Also, what's the meaning of 'Your Majesty'? My name is Huang Shiliu now, not Zhu Yuanzhang! I'm a farmer now, wearing coarse linen shirts, and I use an umbrella when it rains a little. Have you ever seen a farmer live so comfortably? I'm not that weak! Throw that thing away!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, he stretched his neck and looked, vaguely seeing the outline of the dock in the mist, and walked forward with big strides.

See Zhu Yuanzhang's carefree back.

Lu Wei couldn't help but sigh inwardly with worry. How could he serve his Majesty, who had faked his death and was a peasant? Commander Jiang had truly given him a huge problem...

After a pause, he chased after him and asked with all his might, "May I ask your Majesty... Master, is it okay for me to address you like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with a hint of impatience.

He shook his head and said, "Stupid! I'm a farmer now! You have to call me Old Huang! I'll call you Old Lu! Do you understand?"

Lu Wei pursed his lips in fear: "I...I dare not..."

This is the Emperor Hongwu who made the whole court and the country tremble.

He is just a secret agent of the Jinyiwei. How can he be so close to His Majesty?

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. With a stern look in his eyes, he scolded, "What nonsense! Just call me whatever I tell you to call me!"

Even at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing coarse linen clothes.

Typical peasant attire.

But Lu Wei still couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

He didn't dare to say anything more and nervously responded, "Old...Old Huang..."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang hide his displeasure.

He then revealed a simple and unpretentious smile and patted Lu Wei on the shoulder: "Hehehe! That's right! I'm just a farmer after all!"

Seeing this, Lu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced out an ugly smile.

Feel the force of Zhu Yuanzhang patting his shoulder.

I also felt that the scene was a little too magical—holy crap! His Majesty Hongwu was actually calling me his brother…

The two were in tandem.

We soon arrived near the pier.

In the mist, a lady was beating clothes on the bluestone slabs around her, a three-year-old child was playing in the water next to her, a fisherman was rowing a small boat on the river to fish, and an old man in a straw raincoat was fishing on the shore.

"Yo! I've taken the bait!"

"Hurry up and pull up the rod!"

While waiting for the boat, Zhu Yuanzhang watched the old man fishing next to him with great interest. When he saw the float move, he immediately showed an excited look and shouted.

The old man next to him pulled the fishing rod subconsciously when he heard his shout.

But the fish did not come up. Instead, it swung its tail as if in protest, causing a big ripple on the water surface, and then disappeared without a trace.

The old man couldn't help but curse at Zhu Yuanzhang: "What are you yelling about, old man? Even if the fish touches the hook, you still have to wait for it to bite firmly! You scared all our fish away! I can see that you have never caught a fish before!"
