"Hasn't His Highness always believed in fortune telling? Is it because my adoptive father is very important to His Highness, that's why I asked His Highness to do this?"
"That's right. In fact, I have a hunch in my heart that if the military advisor stays, there will probably be bad results, but I still want you to do the math. Maybe there will be different results."
Xie Chen remained silent, silently picked up the tortoise shell copper coin, and began to calculate using the six-line hexagram.
But after learning the hexagram, he didn't speak for a long time. When he didn't speak, Zhou Chen understood what he meant.
"I have always believed that man can conquer nature."
Xie Chong said silently: "What His Highness said is true. Hexagrams are just hexagrams and may not be accurate."
Zhou Chen smiled and patted his shoulder, and said softly: "In the future, we should try to do as little fortune-telling as possible. I heard that people who leak secrets will have backlash. Rather than asking you to tell fortunes, I want to see you live healthily."
.”
Feeling the concern in Zhou Chen's words, Xie Chen had no expression on his face, but he was very moved in his heart. He could survive only because of Zhou Chen. He had deep feelings for his adoptive father Xie Chong, but he had deep feelings for Zhou Chen.
Gratitude is never lacking.
Zhou Chen determined the time to leave Zhongzhou, which was three days later.
Before leaving, Zhou Chen specially accompanied Jiao Shiyi to play around in Zhongzhou City, and then went to Jiao Mansion to pay homage to Jiao Guang, and told Jiao Siniang why the former King Nanchen broke off the engagement.
The night before leaving, Zhou Chen found Xie Chong.
"Commander, we are leaving Zhongzhou tomorrow, but I still don't trust you, so I have made some arrangements. I will ask Zhou Quan to stay to help you, and leave a team of elite soldiers."
In the plot, Zhou Shengchen left behind Qin Yan, but Qin Yan was plotted by the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen, and finally betrayed military advisor Xie Chong, causing Xie Chong to die tragically.
Zhou Chen, who knew the outcome of the plot, naturally could not stay, so he chose another general. Although his ability was not as good as Qin Yan's, he was loyal to Nanchen's palace because he was an orphan adopted by the Nanchen royal army.
Xie Chong showed gratitude: "I am deeply grateful to you for your highness's kindness, but you really don't have to worry about me. Your Majesty is kind-hearted and will not hurt me."
Zhou Chen said: "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother?" Xie Chong's eyes were sharp, obviously he didn't expect Zhou Chen to mention the Queen Mother.
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother has no virtue or talent, but she is also very ambitious. Your Majesty is so kind. I am worried that she will be deceived by the Queen Mother. Military Advisor, there are only you and me here. I will tell you the truth.
In fact, the best option is to imprison the Queen Mother or even get rid of her, otherwise she will cause chaos sooner or later."
"Your Highness, are you a little too worried?"
Although Xie Chong also felt that the Queen Mother had no talent or virtue, but now that Her Majesty was able to govern personally, he felt that the Queen Mother was not yet capable of wielding power over the entire government.
Zhou Chen said: "Military advisor, I know the Queen Mother better than you do, so I left Zhou Quan for you. If it comes to a last resort, for the sake of Beichen, you'd better persuade His Majesty to get rid of the Queen Mother."
Xie Chong looked horrified, hesitated for a moment, and nodded heavily.
When it was finally time to leave, a group of people came to say goodbye outside Zhongzhou City.
Zhou Chen said goodbye to Xie Chong, Yu Feng and others respectively, and finally looked at Yu Shiyi.
Nao Shiyi showed reluctance and said softly: "Master, when my filial piety period is over, I will return to Xizhou."
"Okay, then I will wait for your return in Xizhou."
In fact, when he said goodbye, Zhou Chen had already said it when he and Yang Shiyi visited Zhongzhou City that day. In front of so many people today, he naturally wouldn't say too much.
Zhou Chen took Hong Xiaoyu, Zhou Tianxing and others on their horses and left. As they were leaving, a group of people suddenly came to the city gate and made way for their team.
Zhou Chen looked over and saw that the leader was a middle-aged man who was dressed somewhat like a foreigner. He found that the other person was also staring at him.
'King of Taiyuan, Jin Rong?'
Seeing this man, Zhou Chen guessed his identity. In the plot, it was this Jin Rong who joined forces with Liu Zixing to kill King Xiao Nanchen.
Now that Liu Zixing is dead, the plot has changed drastically. I wonder how Jin Rong will cause trouble next.
However, although Jin Rong had military power and ambition, Zhou Chen did not take him seriously. After all, he was not Zhou Shengchen. If he really wanted to play dirty tricks, he would not be merciful at all.
"drive!"
There were 30,000 troops when he came, but less than 30,000 when he left, because not only did he leave a team of soldiers and horses for Xie Chong, but he also left a thousand men for Jian Shiyi.
But there are still more than 20,000 troops, so the return journey is not fast.
On this day, before it got dark, Zhou Chen asked the large army to stop and camp on the spot to rest.
In the camp, Zhou Chen and Xiao Yan were sitting together drinking.
The original military advisor Xie Chong stayed in Zhongzhou, but a new military advisor had already taken up his post, namely Xiao Yan, the newly crowned King of Fengyang.
