Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Chapter 1405

"Don't send troops! Don't send troops! Don't send troops!!"

Upon hearing Lu Wei's highly threatening words, which he repeated three times in a row, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and the monk Daoyan, who were about to rein in their horses and head south, all changed their expressions, filled with surprise and uncertainty—Don't send troops? What does this mean?

And the next moment.

Zhu Di, suppressing his anger, retorted, "Don't send troops? Commander Lu, don't you want to hear what you're saying?! In the current situation, is it any better not to send troops?"

He didn't understand. Zhu Yunwen had already made such a mess of things. Yingtian Prefecture must be in complete chaos now. If they didn't unite with all the princes of the Zhu family to fight back, would the Ming Dynasty really be handed over to someone else?

Moreover, he was absolutely unwilling to stop there.

This time it's already so close!

If he had been forced to wait and endure, Zhu Di might not have been in such a distress.

But now that he's already taken his pants off, a single sentence makes him put them back on completely... What decent man could tolerate that?

The monk Daoyan, who was half a step behind him, stared at Lu Wei thoughtfully, wondering if there were any variables he hadn't considered.

But after thinking it over and over... he couldn't come up with a reason not to send troops, so he could only grit his teeth and wait and see with a somber expression.

After reprimanding Lu Wei, Zhu Di immediately turned to his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, as if afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would heed Lu Wei's warning, and urged him urgently: "Sir, the situation is extremely urgent. If we delay for another day, who knows what kind of absurd things Lan Yu and his gang might do."

"Furthermore, by delaying for another day, they can also use Zhu... and the name of the Emperor Qianlong to more firmly control the various passes."

"How can we afford to delay like this?"

"Let's head south right away."

Although he thought Lu Wei's words were utter nonsense, for some reason, he was still a little scared—afraid that his father would change his mind because of this.

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally considered things more from the perspective of the overall situation, unlike Zhu Di and the mad monk who had a more pragmatic and impatient mindset.

At this point, I became much calmer.

Besides, the army has already set off and can catch up at any time, so there's no need to waste time saying a few more words. Therefore, he first asked Lu Wei, "What's the matter?"

Lu Wei clasped his hands and said, "Reporting to your question, sir, these three repeated warnings were sent urgently by that person from Yingtian Prefecture! They are his exact words!"

"According to the second informant from Yingtian Prefecture today, his original intention was to retrieve the first letter that the master received. However, the first informant was also given the most urgent order, so he still failed to retrieve it and it ended up in the master's hands."

"And these three warnings..."

"It must have been a backup plan made by that person. They thought that if the first letter failed to stop the retrieval in time, the master would definitely send troops, so they could only directly stop the master's actions."

He succinctly explained the cause and effect of the two intelligence reports that were given very little time apart.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately: "Does this mean... the first intelligence we received... was incorrect?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes lit up slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.

For nothing else.

If the first intelligence report was false, then it means that... the current situation in Yingtian Prefecture is not as difficult or chaotic as I have deduced or imagined.

Or rather... his own grandson didn't actually do those suicidal things?

They had already prepared for a tough battle, a civil war—which was incredibly good news for Zhu Yuanzhang.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Alright! I knew it! How could our eldest grandson be so brainless as to provoke those bandits and robbers and bring trouble upon himself?"
