(I have been using Yingtian instead of Nanjing because I am worried about trouble. I don’t know what to ask for when. I am not allowed to use modern city names. It is very troublesome to change it here, so I use Yingtian!)

"Ah... it doesn't hurt... it doesn't hurt at all...!"

The three donkey carts stopped. Zhao Lu, Zhou Xin, Qiao Ren held an oil lamp to illuminate it. Xia Wu and others looked at the three donkey carts. Zhu Lang gave up his donkey cart, then laid a quilt on the donkey cart, and then put his cotton coat on the quilt, and then let Zhou Pang lie on his cotton coat.

Zhu Lang carried the medicine on his body. This time he went to Yingtian, Zhu Lang still made a lot of preparations. After all, the road ahead is far away, so he brought some of his own special medicines for the injury in case of emergency. Look... Isn't it used now? Then Zhu Lang personally applied medicine to Zhou Pang.

The wound that Zhou Pang was beaten by a whip on his back was purple, which means there was already blood stasis inside, so he had to rub it and apply medicine again. Fortunately, the whip was not stained with salt water. You should know that after the whip was stained with salt water, the pain would double after hitting the body. Your skin was pulled open, blood dripped, and then soaked in salt water. It was really skin and flesh.

Zhou Pang's whip was a total of five whips. Although there was no whip stained with salt water, it was also very serious. Zhu Lang really couldn't believe how the person who was injured like this was caught up with his donkey cart.

So Zhu Lang knew that this Zhou Pang was definitely not a gangster, he just really wanted to follow him.

Zhu Lang's heart softened and rubbed the blood stasis with his hands. Zhou Pang screamed loudly in pain. However, Zhou Pang was afraid that Zhu Lang was worried, so he said it didn't hurt at all.

Zhu Lang did not speak, but carefully helped Zhou Pang rub and apply medicine. After everything was done, Zhu Lang was sweating profusely. It took a lot of effort to rub and disperse blood stasis.

"Is it better yet..." Zhao Lu asked.

After taking the medicine, Zhou Pang said yellingly: "Thank you Brother Zhao, you've been much better..." After saying that, Zhou Pang was about to get up, but Zhu Lang pressed Zhou Pang at this time and said: "You can't get up, you still need to rest, just lie on my donkey cart to rest, oh... By the way, put on my cotton jacket, although it's a little small, it can still keep the cold."

"What about you, young master?" Zhou Pang was a little surprised.

"Haha..." Zhu Lang laughed: "I'll sit next to you."

"But are the quilts and jackets all belong to the young master?" Zhou Pang was surprised.

"I have a cotton jacket. The quilt is yours now, because you are a patient and you are my now, so call me "Young Master, and you are injured again." In this case, I will take care of you with all my strength... Have a good rest and have a nap. When it's noon, I will go to Yingtian City to buy a few more medicines and take it to you. Your body will be fine in a few days." After saying that, Zhu Lang smiled.

But after hearing Zhu Lang's words, Zhou Pang showed a disgusted expression: "Young Master, it's not like this, it's not like this..." Zhou Pang shook his head and looked at Zhu Lang: "Zhou Pang came to the young master to serve the young master, but now he is going to take care of him.

Seeing Zhou Pang like this, the young master should have left Zhou Pang behind, but the young master gave Zhou Pang all the cotton jacket and quilt under him. Zhou Pang was ashamed of not having enough achievements..."

"Wrong...!" Zhu Lang smiled: "Just the moment you called me young master, the moment I let you get on our Zhu family's donkey cart, you are my Zhu family's family.

I, Zhu Lang, have sworn that I will not let the Zhu family suffer any harm. Zhou Pang, do you want to be my Zhu family?"

"I want to...!" Zhou Pang answered without hesitation.

"Okay..." Zhu Lang nodded: "Then let's have a good rest and let your injuries get better soon. I will work hard for the sake of my son and the entire Zhu family, so good...?"

"Okay...!" After saying hello, Zhou Pang's tears couldn't stop falling. Looking at Zhu Lang, Zhou Pang remembered the plot of his parents being hanged. Just before Zhou Pang's parents were hanged, Zhou Pang's parents' last request was to hug his children.

Then while holding Zhou Pang, Zhou Pang's parents told Zhou Pang to live hard, because as long as they survive hard, they would definitely meet their family who loved them.

After hearing what Zhou Pang said, no matter how hard it is or how difficult it is, Zhou Pang has been working hard to live. You will never think of how much hardship Zhou Pang suffered to survive.

Now the only belief that supports him to survive in this cannibalistic era has finally come true. Zhou Pang was crying so hard that he could not help himself, as if he wanted to shed all the tears that he had not shed before.

He looked up and looked at Zhu Lang sitting beside him with tears in his eyes. He silently told his parents in his heart: Dad, mom, you are right. Zhou Pang has met his family. He is Zhou Pang's son. At this moment, Zhou Pang wants to swear that he will protect the son like revenge in the future, and Zhou Pang only lives for the son.

"Driving..." Xia Wuyi shouted crisply, and three donkey carts moved forward again, and their destination was Yingtian City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Along the way, Zhou Pang was sleeping soundly. Zhou Pang had never slept so peacefully. The whip on his back seemed to no longer hurt. After waking up, it was already daylight. Seeing Zhou Pang wake up, Zhu Lang gave Zhou Pang two eggs on his waist.

After Zhu Lang gave it to Dagou, Ergou, Zhu Erbao, Zhao Lu, Zhou Xin, Xia Wu, and Qiao Ren also gave Zhou Pang two eggs... Is this the feeling of having a family?

Zhou Pang felt an unprecedented sense of warmth and ate all the eggs in one breath. These eggs were so delicious... Zhou Pang showed a happy smile.

....................................

The hard-working donkey cart kept moving forward without much stopping, breakfast, lunch... were all eaten on the donkey cart. Finally, Zhu Lang and his group arrived at Yingtian, the capital of the Ming Dynasty at noon.

There were more than 50 names here, the most famous one was the legend of "Jinling". During the Warring States Period, King Wei of Chu believed that there was a royal spirit here, so he ordered people to bury gold at the foot of the mountain to suppress the royal spirit. Ling means mountain, and the name of Jinling came from this. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set this place as a capital, opening up the Ming Dynasty.

According to legend, one day, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Yanziji. On the moonlit night, the crescent moon was in the sky. In front of him was the Yangtze River that was surging thousands of miles away, and the waves were rolling under his feet. Looking at the country he built with golden swords and iron horses, Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with emotion and wrote a poem with passion: "So what if the weight of the swallow rock is like, and the long rainbow is used as a pole? The crescent moon in the sky is hooked, saying how many of my country are there."

From a literary perspective, this poem has no literary talent. He compared Yanziji to a weight, the Yangtze River to a scale rod, and the crescent moon is a scale hook. How many of his country are there to call him?

Judging from this limerick poem, Zhu Yuanzhang's ambition and infinite pride in governing the country are vividly displayed on paper. It is precisely because he has mobilized the whole country to build cities, palaces, temples, and government agencies, and built a brand new and vast city.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent his most important minister Liu Bowen to investigate the location of the imperial city. Liu Bowen believed that in front of the "longtou" in Zhongshan east of the city, the best treasure land should be the imperial city. However, it is embarrassing that this location is a lake called Yanque Lake. How can a palace be built on the lake? Zhu Yuanzhang made a quick decision: fill in the lake!

Zhu Yuanzhang recruited hundreds of thousands of migrant workers and leveled the three mountains west of Yingtian City, and finally filled Yanque Lake. In order to avoid the foundation sinking, dense wooden stakes were first laid on the ground, and then pressed them with large stones to ensure that the foundation was solid.

Today, Qianhu, located on the north side of the Zhongshan Gate of Yingtian, is actually the historical "Yanque Lake", which is the remaining lake after the old version of Yanque Lake was filled.
