Zhu Chong looked back at the tall city wall of Yingtian Prefecture, still unable to believe that his journey through time would have started like this.
But before Zhu Chong could come to his senses, he was expelled from Yingtian Prefecture by Zhu Yuanzhang and sent to Yunnan to work as a coolie.
What the hell have I done? Zhu Chong looked at the lonely carriage behind him, feeling both amused and helpless.
I originally thought that I might as well go to Yunnan. After all, he is a prince. Old Zhu would not be so cruel. He should assign me a few people. At least I would have enough money for the journey.
But when Zhu Chong searched the entire carriage, he didn't find a single copper coin, and he was completely stupefied.
He waited anxiously at the city gate, wondering if any brothers or sisters would come to see him off and offer some support.
After waiting for an hour and getting nothing, Zhu Chong finally confirmed one thing.
This was truly a hellish start! Apart from the system, he was truly going to travel all alone to Yundian, thousands of miles away!
"If you don't leave now, it will be dark soon. Are you planning to sleep outdoors tonight?"
Suddenly, a sound like a silver bell came from the entrance of the carriage. Zhu Chong looked in the direction of the sound and was stunned.
What a beautiful lady! How come I didn’t notice when she got into my carriage?
At the entrance of the carriage, there was a beautiful woman with a cold face looking at Zhu Chong with calm eyes.
The woman was very beautiful, and it was the kind of beauty that was very down-to-earth, with red lips and white teeth, and especially the twinkling light in her eyes, like stars in the night sky.
However, Zhu Chong's focus was on the woman's figure. The woman in front of him had everything she needed, and was even a little sexy, which easily made Zhu Chong stare at her.
[Ding, the system detects the presence of the Destiny Girl near the host, triggering the mission option.]
[Host, please make a choice within three seconds. If the time limit is exceeded, the system will automatically make a choice for the host.]
[Option 1: Praise a woman's beauty and win her favor.]
[Option 2: Do the opposite and attract a woman's attention.]
[Option 3: The host is free to play.]
The girl of destiny? Who was this woman before me? How could she actually trigger a system task?
Zhu Chong’s mind was full of questions, but he didn’t have time to think too much and quickly made a choice.
He chooses option three.
Having read so many novels, he knew too well that sometimes the system gave a fixed answering pattern, and the final reward might not be good. On the contrary, the reward obtained by free play was often the most generous.
"Do you have any money, sister? I'm hungry!"
Zhu Chong licked his face and stared at the beauty in front of him.
He said this partly for the sake of the mission and partly to tell the truth.
When he traveled through time and knelt in the Golden Palace, Zhu Chong felt extremely hungry. As a result, Old Zhu did not even let him eat a bite of food and directly drove him out of Yingtian Prefecture.
“Puff…”
The beauty smiled, and Zhu Chong only felt a ball of light flashing before his eyes. Under the woman's willow-shaped eyebrows, in her peach-like eyes, there seemed to be ripples flowing.
It is no exaggeration to say that among all the women Zhu Chong has seen in his two lives, including celebrities, the eyes of the woman in front of him are absolutely the most beautiful, no doubt about it!
The woman noticed that Zhu Chong was staring at her, her face turned slightly red, her beautiful eyes suddenly glared, and then she said unhappily.
"It's obvious that the Crown Prince and the Prince of Yan came up with a bad idea. I told you to listen to me, but you refused to listen. Now you want to make me accompany you to Yunnan. I don't care. You promised me before, you can't go back on your word!"
"What did I promise you?" Zhu Chong blurted out, and the woman became anxious when she saw this.
"You want to deny it again? I promised you that if I helped you get Xu Miaoyun's bellyband, you would give me the antidote for next month..."
What the hell? Xu Miaoyun's bellyband? The antidote? Zhu Chong was completely bewildered, but suddenly, some fragments connected in his mind, and he finally realized what was going on.
The woman in front of him turned out to be his wife.
Strictly speaking, she is the legal wife of Qin Wang Zhu Chong, the Mongolian princess Guan Yinnu!
This is a remarkable woman. The prototype of Zhao Min in Jin Yong's The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was Guanyin Nu.
As a result, such a woman became his wife in this life, and was sent by his predecessor to steal Xu Da's daughter's bellyband!
What the hell happened? Why can't I remember anything? This time travel must be rated badly!
Noticing the woman's unfriendly look, Zhu Chong felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, but he immediately calmed down.
"Look at me now, do you think I want to default on my debt?"
Zhu Chong turned the tables and his mind raced as he hurriedly recalled the little historical knowledge he had in his previous life.
But before he could think about it, the system prompt sounded.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, you have successfully completed the mission. Reward: a bag of silver coins and a copy of the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman.]
What the hell?
Zhu Chong's eyes widened immediately, and he subconsciously felt around, and actually found a brocade bag.
When he opened it, he saw that except for a small medicine bottle, the rest of the brocade bag was loose silver, about ten taels in total.
Is this the antidote to the Life and Death Talisman? Do Life and Death Talismans really exist in this world? Is this Lao Jin's martial arts world?
But what happened after The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? I don't remember any book that covered this period.
Zhu Chong was just thinking when his hands suddenly felt empty. When he looked again, the brocade bag had fallen into Guanyin's hands.
Guanyinnu took out the medicine bottle from the brocade bag, and her pretty face suddenly changed color.
"What's this?"
"I don't know." Zhu Chong blurted out, "I remember that when I just came out of the Golden Palace, the Crown Prince bumped into me. This must have been left for me by him!"
"Liar!" Guanyinnu's face flushed with anger, "You Zhu family members are all liars!"
[Ding, the system mainline mission has been released. Please make a choice within three seconds. If the time limit is exceeded, the system will automatically make the choice for the host.]
[Option 1: Appease the Guanyin slave and make him follow the host to Yundian wholeheartedly.]
[Option 2: Scold Guanyin Nu, saying, "As the host's first wife, how can I not follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"]
Holy crap! This option is a bit tricky!
Zhu Chong could see that Guanyin Nu didn't seem to get along with him.
In that case, he will definitely not be a bootlicker.
"So what if I lied to you? You've already got the stuff. Either follow me to Yunnan honestly, or get out of here. Who spoiled you like that?"
This was the first time in his life that Zhu Chong was so rude to a woman, and it actually intimidated Guanyin Nu.
"You..." Guanyinnu raised her eyebrows, stared at Zhu Chong with wide eyes.
"What do you mean by 'you'?" Zhu Chong was unyielding. "Who am I to you? Don't you have any idea? Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. Do you understand? Do you need me to teach you the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"
"If you had known this would happen, you should have thought this would happen when you married me!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for making the right choice, reward points +500. ]
Only 500 points? How could that be the right choice? Could it be that being a bootlicker would earn you a higher reward?
Zhu Chong heard the system prompt, his mind full of the lawsuit, and suddenly heard Guanyin Nu's angry scolding, and he was instantly petrified...
