Chen Xuan traveled through the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty and became a taciturn blacksmith in Huaixi Village.
He has no desire to conquer the world, and he is too lazy to find any princes or generals.
In troubled times, it was enough for him to be able to guard a dilapidated blacksmith shop, help the villagers with hoes, repair hatchets, eat a hot meal, and have a peaceful sleep.
Until that day, the defeated troops broke into Black Rock Village.
Seize food, seize money, seize women.
The villagers knelt down and begged, the children were beaten into the mud, and the small wooden knife left by their late father was trampled in pieces by the rebels.
Chen Xuan was silent for a long time, and finally picked up the burning iron beside the stove.
That day, outside Black Rock Village, all seventeen rebel soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
That day, there was another rumor among the Huaixi army.
There was a blacksmith in a border village who could fold a knife with one hand and defeat an armor in ten steps. He could carry a cauldron and was as murderous as a tiger.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard about it, he thought it was an exaggeration among the people.
Until Xu Da presented an old jade.
That jade was something that the Zhu family lost in their early years.
And the blacksmith's facial features were exactly the same as those of an old friend of the Zhu family.
Many years later, Zhu Yuanzhang visited Heishi Village in person.
Looking at the man sitting by the fire forging iron, the Ming Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, actually had red eyes in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
"Fourth uncle."
"We've been looking for you for twenty years."
Chen Xuan looked up at him, frowned and said:
"Did you admit the wrong person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang knelt down directly.
"With the blood of the Zhu family, we will never admit our mistakes."
"Uncle, tell me what's going on."
"This Ming Dynasty is half as powerful as you."
Chen Xuan: "..."
He just wanted to work quietly.
How could he accidentally become Zhu Yuanzhang's uncle?
