After listening to Zhu Wenzhen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.
"Wen Zheng, people always say that brothers fight together in war, and fathers and sons fight in battle. Although you and I are only uncle and nephew, we are already better than father and son."
"Uncle hopes that you can achieve more achievements. Our Zhu family must have a role in this great world."
Zhu Wen Zheng said: "Uncle, don't worry. Among the three major forces in the world nowadays, our Zhu family is the most powerful. You have countless capable generals under your command."
"Although we don't have a master as powerful as Zhang Wuji, we have countless soldiers and horses."
"The courage of one person is no more than the enemy of a hundred people, just like the King of Chu, Xiang Yu. Even though he was a stunning figure, he could not escape the fate of committing suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River."
…
It cannot be said that Zhu Wenzhen was wrong. No matter how high his cultivation was, he could only defeat a hundred people. But Zhang Wuji at this time was not the Xiang Yu of the past.
Xiang Yu's arrogance and unwillingness to listen to others' advice were the key to his defeat.
But Zhang Wuji is different. He has always been modest and cautious, and is willing to listen to other people's advice. Even if he is really defeated one day, he will never end up like Xiang Yu.
Time is passing by little by little.
But Zhang Wuji couldn't fall asleep tonight. He stood by the window of the city wall, staring blankly outside.
Zhao Linger said: "Young Master, you should calm down and have a good sleep. No matter how big the problem is, you need to be well rested to deal with it."
Yu Fei said: "Yes, sir, in our current situation, thinking too much will not solve any major problems."
"Although our current troops are a little smaller, we are definitely united as one. Our tens of thousands of soldiers are risking their lives to protect you and Dadu, so there will be no problem."
"Otherwise, you can just lie in Sister Zhou's arms and smell the quiet and soothing fragrance on her body, and maybe you will fall asleep."
If this had happened under normal circumstances, Zhou Zhiruo would have definitely said this was a bad idea.
But Zhou Zhiruo didn't say that today.
Recently, Zhou Zhiruo has always been a little uneasy. The critical period for fighting for the world has arrived. The more critical the period, the more Zhou Zhiruo is afraid that Zhang Wuji will miss the world that is so close at hand.
Not only Zhang Wuji couldn't sleep, but Zhou Zhiruo couldn't sleep either.
Looking at Zhang Wuji's uneasy look, Zhou Zhiruo thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Wuji, don't think too much. We are now in front of the battle line. Any movement will not be hidden from our ears."
"You'd better be steady and get some sleep."
"Come, come into my arms, I will hug you."
Zhang Wuji couldn't believe his ears.
The same went for Zhao Linger and Yu Fei. This was the first time for them to see Zhou Zhiruo take the initiative to show goodwill to Zhang Wuji.
If it were any other time, Zhang Wuji would have happily thrown himself into Zhou Zhiruo's arms, but today, he really had no thoughts in that regard at all.
Seeing that Zhang Wuji was indifferent, Zhao Linger said with a smile: "Sister Zhiruo, I can't believe that even though you are so proactive, there are times when it doesn't work."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "It's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that there are too many people here tonight, and this enemy is thin-skinned. If you two were not here, the scene would definitely be different."
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, if the young master doesn't want to go into your arms, how about I go into your arms? Sister Zhou, it's rare for you to show your goodwill, and I, your sister, can't let your face fall to the ground."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "You wish. Tonight I will only sleep with Zhang Wuji in my arms. As for you, don't even think about it."
At this moment, Zhang Wuji suddenly said, "Zhiruo, I really can't sleep tonight. How about you accompany me for a walk?"
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "The moonlight is just right, and I can't sleep either, so I'll accompany you for a walk."
Yu Fei on the side said: "Young Master, you are so biased. I can't sleep either. Why don't you take me with you?"
Zhao Linger said: "Good junior sister, there are some things you can fight for, and some things you can't fight for."
"The young master has already named Sister Zhiruo and asked her to accompany him for a walk. Since the young master has already named her, we can't argue about it. Do you understand?"
After thinking for a while, Yu Fei nodded: "I seem to have realized something. It's like the emperors flipping the cards. Whoever gets the card is the winner. Others cannot compete at this time."
Zhao Linger laughed and said, "Junior sister, you are not stupid. You are teachable."
Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing aside, had already put on her shoes. In full view of everyone, she grabbed Zhang Wuji's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go relax."
When Zhou Zhiruo said this, she did not forget to give Zhao Linger and Yu Fei an extremely provocative look.
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "You little slut, you'd better not be so arrogant with me. Otherwise, if I get the chance in the future, I will definitely embarrass you."
Zhou Zhiruo said neither lightly nor seriously: "I'll wait."
Then she took Zhang Wuji's hand and walked out.
After getting down from the city wall, she asked Zhang Wuji, "My dear, where do you want to go to relax?"
"Today, in front of Zhao Linger and Yu Fei, you only asked me to accompany you out. I am very happy about this. So tonight, whether you go to heaven or hell, I will agree."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhiruo, let's forget about heaven and hell. Let's just walk around tonight and check on the soldiers to see if there are any mistakes."
Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go and see the soldiers."
…
In fact, in Zhou Zhiruo's heart, she also wished that Zhang Wuji could take her to walk with the soldiers.
Because she already felt that her position in the army was no longer as irreplaceable as before.
Back then, when Zhang Wuji first started his rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty, the only woman who accompanied him in his battles was Zhou Zhiruo.
Zhou Zhiruo at that time was indeed irreplaceable.
But now it's different. Now, what Zhou Zhiruo can do, Zhao Linger and Yu Fei can also do. The most important thing is that the two of them often spend a lot of money.
It didn't take long before Zhao Linger and Yu Fei won over many of the soldiers' hearts.
Zhou Zhiruo could only watch helplessly, but had no ability to change the status quo.
The only solution she could think of was to ask Zhang Wuji to bring her with him and appear in front of the soldiers often.
In Zhou Zhiruo's mind, doing this was equivalent to Zhang Wuji announcing to the soldiers under his command that Zhou Zhiruo was still irreplaceable.
Of course, all of this is just the result of the thoughts of little women.
If the world was unified, Zhou Zhiruo would not bother to compete with Zhao Linger and others, but it is different now. The world has not yet been unified, so they must compare their strengths.
