"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The moment Zhu Ying walked in, the imperial physician immediately knelt down and kowtowed, with a look of excitement on his face.

The status of doctors has always been very low. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who attached great importance to medicine. He not only opened a large number of medical schools, but also continuously improved the status of doctors.

Every doctor is grateful to the Crown Prince from the bottom of his heart.

But Zhu Ying can't care about so many things now.

The moment he entered the door, he saw Liu Sheng's eyelids slowly drooping.

He walked to the bed in two steps and subconsciously wanted to speak.

The words came to his lips, but suddenly stopped.

Because he could already feel that Liu Sheng had stopped breathing at this moment.

Even if you have extraordinary abilities, there is no way to bring him back to life.

Zhu Ying reached out and gently covered the quilt.

"He said something when he left."

Zhu Ying's voice was very calm, without any major emotional fluctuations, as if Liu Sheng in front of him was just an ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, the imperial physician quickly replied, "Your Highness, I have asked Supervisor Liu if he wanted to leave a last word, but Supervisor Liu just said that he had nothing to say. In the end, he said that the boss is very good."

After a slight hesitation, the imperial physician continued, "Liu Jian has long been drunk and exhausted, and his organs have all rotted and failed. According to common sense, he should have died half a month ago. I find it incredible that he has survived until now."

"With this breath, I didn't swallow it until His Highness entered the room."

"For someone like Supervisor Liu, every breath he took was a huge torment. An ordinary person would have died from the pain, but Supervisor Liu managed to endure it for half a month."

In fact, the imperial physician should not say these words, and he has no right to say more.

But in his heart, he had already been moved by Liu Sheng's tenacity.

That half piece of hundreds of years old ginseng was the imperial physician's own treasure, and he was going to pass it on to future generations. Finally, Liu Sheng was moved and took it out.

After listening to this, Zhu Ying didn't say much, but just whispered, "You go down first."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The imperial physician did not know the relationship between Liu Sheng and the crown prince. As a doctor, he was accustomed to matters of life and death, so he bowed and left.

Outside the door.

Thousands of Black Armor Guards have blocked the entire mansion, and even Zhu Gaochi is not allowed to enter.

Seeing the imperial physician coming out, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly asked, "How is Supervisor Liu doing?"

At this time, Zhu Gaochi did not know that Liu Sheng had died of illness.

The imperial physician shook his head slightly: "When Your Highness entered, Supervisor Liu had just passed away."

Zhu Gaochi showed a look of regret on his face. Although he did not communicate much with Liu Sheng, he knew that he was truly loyal and devoted to his elder brother.

After suffering for so long, I didn't get to say goodbye to my elder brother in person in the end.

…

In the room.

Zhu Ying sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Liu Sheng in a daze. At this moment, he still could not accept Liu Sheng's departure.

I felt so blocked up inside, even though I had so many things to say, they were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them.

There was a sense of blankness in my mind.

Half an hour passed, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his face.

It seemed that Zhu Ying only reacted now.

"grandfather."

A slightly dry voice sounded.

"Can you hear this?"

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"In fact, I know that you have always treated me as your grandson."

"You have always been hoping that I would call you grandpa."

"It's just that when we were in the Western Regions, you never showed it for my dignity."

"However, in my heart, you are also my grandfather."

"When you are here, I have never worried about any trouble in the Western Regions. I can travel abroad without worrying about it, because I know that you will take care of everything for me."

"Without you, there would be no mysterious Dongjia."

"Without you, there would be no Heroes Chamber of Commerce spanning the Western Regions, the grasslands, and the desert."

"There would be no me now."

"Many people think that it was me, the mysterious boss, who founded the huge Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce. Who knows that the real founder is actually you."

Zhu Ying spoke slowly, with deep memories in his tone.

If the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce was once a legend in the Western Regions, then Liu Sheng was the creator of this legend.

That year, Zhu Ying drifted to the Western Regions, and he made some money by robbing other gangs.

That year, the Ningmi Kingdom in the Western Region was destroyed, and the rest were reduced to slaves.

Zhu Ying saw Liu Sheng at first sight.

Liu Sheng at that time was not called Liu Sheng. It was a name he gave himself later.

Zhu Ying still remembers Liu Sheng's words: "People who have lost their country are not worthy of their former names."

Zhu Ying's rise to fame began from the moment Liu Sheng joined.

Zhu Ying didn't know what Liu Sheng's previous identity was, but he knew that Liu Sheng's identity was very high.

He could not understand the language of Ningmi Kingdom, but from the way those people kowtowed to Liu Sheng respectfully, he could tell that Liu Sheng had a very high status in Ningmi Kingdom before, and it was even very likely that he was the king of Ningmi Kingdom.

Zhu Ying also asked about it, but Liu Sheng just smiled and said that those were all in the past and there was no need to bring them up again.

After Liu Sheng got rid of his slave status, his old subordinates continued to join him, and soon the group had a size of thousands of people, and they also brought a large amount of gold.

This is the prototype of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Ying, who was only in his teens at the time, become so powerful all of a sudden?

You have to know that in places like the Western Regions, language is the biggest obstacle. There are many countries, big and small, and many foreign businessmen. Zhu Ying couldn't even communicate.

It was also at that time that Zhu Ying was honored as the Young Master.

Liu Sheng was very familiar with the situation in the Western Regions and was even proficient in various languages, including Chinese.

Zhu Ying applied the knowledge from his previous life and started to establish the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, there were hundreds of extremely skilled warriors following Liu Sheng, each of them was a master on the battlefield, and Zhu Ying also learned martial arts from them.

In just one year, Zhu Ying's personal martial arts skills had become unrivaled in the world, and the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce also grew stronger under Zhu Ying's leadership.

In order to better win people's hearts, Zhu Ying decided to preach in the relationship of teacher and student.

After all, he had done this in his previous life and was even honored as a gold medal lecturer. If it weren’t for... ahem.

Preaching means teaching, and it is too easy to brainwash people with knowledge from past lives in this era.

In order to better consolidate Zhu Ying's position, Liu Sheng declared that Zhu Ying was a reincarnated spirit boy and made him his chief disciple.

Faith is the best means, just like when Zhu Yuanzhang relied on the White Lotus Sect.

Liu Sheng made him his eldest disciple, which made people believe even more that Zhu Ying was the reincarnation of the spirit boy.

The gimmick of being a reincarnated spirit boy made Zhu Ying's status transcendent, especially the many novel methods, coupled with his invincible personal combat power, which made Zhu Ying more solidified the title of being a reincarnated spirit boy.

If the living Buddha of the Laba Sect had not been still alive, Zhu Ying might have been able to trick the entire Laba Sect into joining him.

Some people once questioned the authenticity of the reincarnated child and even went to ask the Living Buddha of the Laba Sect.

However, whether it was because of the power of the Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce at that time, or for some other reason, the Living Buddha of the Laba Sect said nothing, as if he had tacitly acknowledged Zhu Ying's identity as the reincarnated spirit boy.

Such an identity made many forces even more wary, and also facilitated Zhu Ying's continuous expansion. Coupled with the high-yield crops that produced a large amount of food, the huge Qun Ying Chamber of Commerce came into being.

The source of all this finally fell on Liu Sheng.

In fact, after Liu Sheng gained his freedom, he could have abandoned Zhu Ying, or even given him some gold to repay his kindness.

But Liu Sheng made Zhu Ying the young master and gave all that was left of the Ningmi Kingdom to Zhu Ying.

Without these, Zhu Ying might have had to stay in the Western Regions to make a living all his life.

Where can I go to Peking and meet Zhu Di?

If he couldn't meet Zhu Di, how could he go to the capital and become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty?

At least Zhu Ying never thought about going to the capital, and he was forced to go there by Zhu Di.

However, Zhu Di's conspiracy failed in the end, and instead Zhu Ying became successful.

In the night sky, the moon rises from the east and slowly sets in the west.

The candles in the room have gone out.

Zhu Ying just stayed by Liu Sheng's bedside, just like when Zhu Ying was seriously injured, Liu Sheng stayed by Zhu Ying's bedside.

When the sun rose, Zhu Ying slowly stood up.

He took a few steps back and knelt on his knees.

At this moment, Zhu Ying’s identity is no longer the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, nor is he the owner of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

But it was the young master, the young master of the already destroyed Ningmi Kingdom.

Zhu Ying crossed his hands in front of his chest, then slowly lowered his head to the ground, and then slowly spread his hands out.

This is the etiquette of Ningmi Kingdom, which is roughly the same as three kneelings and nine kowtows.

After getting up, Zhu Ying walked forward, lifted the quilt, slowly covered Liu Sheng's face, then turned around and pushed open the door.

Outside the door, a thousand black-armored guards were still guarding it firmly.

Outside was Zhu Gaochi and Li Xingyan, a scholar with red and swollen eyes.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No need to be polite."

Zhu Ying looked at Li Xiucai, who looked sad and lonely, with red eyes that showed he had been crying for most of the night. It can be seen that he had deep feelings for Liu Sheng.

"Liu Sheng's funeral will be left to you."

"Liu Sheng was posthumously named King of Zhennan and buried in the Tomb of the King of Annan."

"After the matter is settled, you take Liu Sheng's underwear and go to the Western Regions to find the former tomb of the King of Ningmi and build a cenotaph for Liu Sheng."

Li Xiucai showed some emotion on his face, and replied: "I will obey the order of the Grand Prince."

The weather in Annan is hot, and Liu Sheng's body cannot be transported. It is likely to rot on the way.

Zhu Ying knew that in Liu Sheng's heart, Ningmi Kingdom had always existed, and after his death, he naturally wanted to be buried in Ningmi Kingdom.

A cenotaph can be considered a kind of comfort.

After that, he told Zhu Gaochi: "Grandpa will come today, please prepare for the reception."

Zhu Gaochi quickly replied: "Brother, everything is ready. The King of Annan, Chen Yong, is waiting outside the palace and wants to see you."

Zhu Ying nodded: "We'll arrange it later."

Then he turned to look at the Black Armor Guards who had been guarding all night, and said to their captain: "We have been guarding all night, you should go and rest first."

He has plenty of energy, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep for a few days and nights.

The leader of the Black Armor Guards was moved. He did not expect that the Crown Prince would remember them. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I am not tired."

The other Xuanjia Guards also bowed to Zhu Ying at the same time: "I am not tired."

Such an action undoubtedly made the already extremely loyal Xuanjiawei even more loyal.

Zhu Ying did not force it, and walked out of the mansion to meet the King of Annan.

Because of the Xuanjia Guards, apart from Li Xiucai who was let in, even King Chen Yong of Annan could only wait outside the mansion.

After receiving the news, King Chen Yong of Annan rushed over at midnight yesterday and waited there in order to express his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

"The young king of Annan, Chen Yong, pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Celestial Empire."

The moment he saw Zhu Ying, King Chen Yong of Annan immediately knelt down and kowtowed, not even having the courage to look at Zhu Ying.

The King of Annan, Chen Yong, was even more afraid of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty than the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As the king of a neighboring country of the Ming Dynasty, although Chen Yong did not have much real power, he had no shortage of channels for information.

He knew very well that all the great changes in the Ming Dynasty in recent years were due to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him.

In terms of status, he is actually half of Zhu Ying's father-in-law.

Of course, he didn't dare to act like a father-in-law, and didn't even dare to mention it.

"Excuse me, please stand up."

If it were any other time, Zhu Ying might have said a few polite words, but now he wasn't in the mood at all.

After hearing this, Chen Yong slowly stood up and dared to look at the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.

I was shocked at just one glance.

The great Ming crown prince who dominated the world was actually so young!

In just a few years, the Ming Dynasty has become so powerful. How far will the Ming Dynasty develop in the future under the leadership of the Crown Prince!

Chen Yong simply didn't dare to think about it.

Putting away his scattered thoughts, Chen Yong asked cautiously, "I wonder how Supervisor Liu's condition is."

It was no secret that Liu Sheng was seriously ill and bedridden, and Chen Yong had visited him many times.

The Ming Crown Prince had left the southern tour army and rushed over. It was obvious that he had a close relationship with Liu Sheng, so Chen Yong asked with concern.

Zhu Ying looked at Chen Yong and said, "Liu Jian passed away last night. I posthumously conferred the title of King of Zhennan on him and plan to bury him in the Annan King's Tomb. Does the King of Annan have any objections?"

Chen Yong dared not object, and hurriedly said: "It is an honor for Annan to bury the King of Zhennan in the Tomb of the King of Annan. I will definitely choose the best Feng Shui site for the King of Zhennan."

Zhu Ying was quite satisfied with this answer.

"Get ready and follow me to welcome him."

"The young king obeys the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Ying and his companions had just arrived at the city gate when they saw the southern patrol army approaching from afar.

Normally it should be around noon, but now it is almost an hour earlier, so they obviously set off early.

Zhu Ying was not surprised. After all, he was the one who rode away first yesterday, so the old man would naturally be a little anxious.

The 150,000 elite troops accompanied them, and their step-by-step progress was like an earthquake, which shocked the Annan King Chen Yong.

There was no disorder in the rows of troops even while they were marching.

Although King Chen Yong of Annan did not understand military affairs, he knew that the army in front of him could easily capture the capital of Annan.

The luxurious and extravagant dragon chariot made Chen Yong feel the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

When Zhu Yuanzhang walked down, King Chen Yong of Annan knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.
