After hearing what Zhang Wuji said, Liu Bowen let out a long sigh.
He thought to himself, "Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately my trip was not in vain. Otherwise, not only would this month have been in vain, but I would also have had to pay for more than a dozen cars of gifts."
…
Liu Bowen smiled at Zhang Wuji and said, "Your Majesty, since you have agreed to join my Majesty in leading the army, shouldn't we jointly issue a manifesto to expel the barbarians?"
"Only in this way can we show our two families' determination to jointly fight against the Mongols."
Zhang Wuji thought to himself, "What a fool Liu Bowen is! He's already so old, but he's still playing the game of "pledging his allegiance to the emperor".
"Well, well, considering that you are a talented person, I won't bother with you."
Zhang Wuji casually called out, "Zhiruo, bring Mr. Liu some paper and pen."
"A moment later, Zhou Zhiruo, who had been hiding in the dark, brought out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
However, when Zhou Zhiruo appeared, even someone like Liu Bowen was stunned.
But compared with other men, Liu Bowen seems more open-minded.
He looked at Zhou Zhiruo openly and said to Zhang Wuji: "Your Majesty, I believe this is Zhou Zhiruo, Madam Zhou."
"Mrs. Zhou's good name is known to the whole world."
"You two are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and your two long swords have swept across the entire Hexi Corridor. Now, the reputation of Your Majesty and Madam Zhou has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiangnan."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Liu has a very sweet mouth."
"I have taken note of what you said today. I will do my best to wait for the day when my man leads his troops to the south of the Yangtze River."
"If I can't hear any good things about Zhang Wuji and me in those so-called streets and alleys, don't blame me for cutting off your tongue with my own hands."
…
Zhou Zhiruo had a smile on her face while she said these words.
But in Liu Bowen's eyes, that angelic smile had nothing to do with beauty.
In the end, Liu Bowen could only say to Zhou Zhiruo embarrassedly: "Madam Zhou, you, this joke is a bit too much."
"What we are discussing now is the matter of conquering the Mongols."
"If you fight to the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn't that mean your own people are fighting against your own people?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Before Zhang Wuji started his rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, you, Liu Bowen, were already famous all over the world."
"With your wisdom, do you believe that Zhu Yuanzhang will keep his promise after the Mongols are destroyed?"
Of course Liu Bowen didn't believe it, but at this moment, he had to say something against his will.
He said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Madam Zhou, you are a heroine. Among the women in the world, only two of you can lead troops to fight."
"One is Zhao Min, and the other is you."
"You have been in and out of military camps for many years, so you naturally know that there is no joking in the army."
"My Majesty only wants to overthrow the Mongols. After that, if my Majesty's troops take even a single step north of the Yellow River, I, Liu Bowen, will be willing to die by Madam Zhou's sword."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly: "Mr. Liu, you have to be responsible for what you say. I will remember this head of yours."
"If one day Zhu Yuanzhang's troops cross the Yellow River, I will chop off your head with my own hands."
Only today did Liu Bowen truly understand Zhou Zhiruo.
It was not until this time that Liu Bowen realized Zhou Zhiruo's viciousness.
In Liu Bowen's eyes, Zhou Zhiruo was just a devil with a fairy face.
How could a normal girl be so keen on fighting on the battlefield?
When Zhang Wuji saw Liu Bowen's embarrassed look, he knew that Zhiruo had almost finished her performance.
He said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, why are you so naughty? Mr. Liu is a great talent of the time."
"Don't be so rude."
"Get out of here and find the eunuch to whip you a hundred times."
Zhou Zhiruo sighed, then bowed to Zhang Wuji and said, "As you wish, I will go back and be punished."
After Zhou Zhiruo left, Zhang Wuji said to Liu Bowen, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry that I didn't discipline my own woman well enough."
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, there are not many women like Madam Zhou in the world."
"Are you really willing to fight?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Of course I'm willing to do that. If she breaks the rules, even if she's my woman, I'll beat her."
Liu Bowen's face was full of embarrassment.
He knew that Zhang Wuji said this to him, and at the same time, he also hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would abide by some rules.
Zhang Wuji patted Liu Bowen on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Liu, your talent has long been famous throughout the world."
"I have brought the paper and pen. As for the anti-Yuan manifesto between our two families, you should write it yourself."
Liu Bowen quickly said: "Okay, I, Liu, am very lucky to be able to contribute a little to overthrow the Mongols in this life."
"I will take the responsibility of writing this manifesto to denounce Yuan Dynasty."
…
Liu Bowen waved his hand and began to write.
"According to the will of Heaven, the Mongols were tyrannical and there was no ethics or laws, no peace or prosperity. For more than a hundred years, the Chinese people have been living in dire straits. Now, Emperor Zhang Wuji of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Wei Dynasty follow the will of Heaven, expel the gourd and restore China..."
Zhang Wuji, who was standing aside, just watched quietly.
He thought to himself: "What great words and characters, he is truly a talented person."
"It's a pity that such a great talent is not in my hands."
