Zhou Chen walked outside the camp, and suddenly a small group of soldiers came over. When they saw Zhou Chen approaching, the leader immediately walked over quickly.
"Master, why don't you rest and get up so early?"
"I'm going back to Xizhou soon. It's been more than half a year since I left. Maybe I'm shy about being close to home, so I can't sleep."
Zhou Chen said with emotion on his face, the young man in front of him who called him master is his third disciple Xie Yun, and he will be in charge of patrolling the camp tonight.
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xie Yun also sighed: "Yes, Master, I miss the palace very much too."
In fact, they followed King Xiao Nanchen to suppress rebellions and fight everywhere. They spent most of the year on the front lines and borders, and sometimes they might not be able to return to King Nanchen's palace in Xizhou for a year or two.
But even so, as Zhou Shengchen's disciples, Nanchen Prince's Mansion is their home. Especially for those of them who have been homeless in the past and have been fighting for many years, they have a stronger feeling for home than ordinary people.
"Master, when we go back this time, we should be able to stay in Xizhou for a while."
After this great victory at the border, there has been no rebellion in the country for the time being, and there is no war with Nanxiao. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the foreign races on the border, but there are local garrison troops there, and it does not necessarily require the Nanchen King's army to be dispatched.
"maybe."
Zhou Chen inherited Zhou Shengchen's memory, so he was very aware of the chaos in and around Beichen. The current emperor was still a little emperor less than ten years old, and the government was controlled by the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen. Even though there was a great talent like Piao Guang,
However, Piao Guang was feared and excluded by the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister and others, which led to chaos in the court.
Inside the court there is a little emperor, and there is an ignorant queen mother who listens to the government behind the curtain. Outside there are princes and kings with military power. How can the world not be in chaos?
He asked Xie Yun to continue leading the inspection, while he walked back to his tent.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the camp, they saw Hong Xiaoyu and an elderly man standing outside the camp.
"military adviser."
"Your Highness."
"Master."
The old man was the military advisor of King Nanchen's army and the mentor of King Xiao Nanchen. For the original person, he actually knew that the military advisor was sent by the late emperor to monitor him, but he had a clear conscience and had no intention of rebelling, so he kept treating him as
Xie Chong stayed by his side.
In addition to monitoring Zhou Shengchen, Xie Chong was actually very good to Zhou Shengchen. He gave sincere assistance and guidance and never harmed Zhou Shengchen once. He definitely took part of the credit for Zhou Shengchen's current achievements.
Therefore, the military advisor Xie Chong was not a bad person in essence, but he was too respectful of the imperial power and loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. This was also very similar to Zhou Shengchen's foolish loyalty.
Military advisor Xie Chong said: "Your Highness, the kitchens have started cooking, and the army will be ready to return in an hour."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Xiaoyu, go take responsibility."
"Yes, Master."
Hong Xiaoyu immediately took the order and left.
"Military advisor, come in."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhou Chen and Xie Chong walked into the camp together and sat down on a small stool nearby.
Because it is an imaginary history, it is not surprising that mature chairs and stools appear. Zhou Chen has long been used to it.
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today."
"Really? Where did you see it?"
Xie Chong said with a smile: "Your Highness usually has a solemn expression, but today he is smiling. He is obviously in a good mood."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Isn't it worth being happy to win a battle?"
Xie Chong shook his head with a smile. Although King Xiao Nanchen is young, he has experienced a lot of wars over the years, and there are many victories bigger than this victory. However, it is rare to see him smile so relaxedly.
, as if there was no pressure at all.
"Your Highness, I remembered something."
"What's up?"
"A few years ago, His Highness went to Zhongzhou and reached an agreement with the Tao family. The Tao family would send their noble daughter to Xizhou to become a disciple of His Highness. It has been more than three years now, and there is still no news.
Wouldn’t Mr. Yan have forgotten it?”
Hearing that Xie Chong actually mentioned this matter, Zhou Chen said: "Zhang Guang is the leader of literati in the world, and he has always respected the most rules and etiquette. Since he has said what he said, he will definitely do what he says. The reason why he has not yet
It must have been delivered before the time has come."
"That's true."
Xie Chongshen thought so. The Qinghe family was one of the most powerful families in the world, and Cao Guang was the Taifu of the Northern Chen Dynasty, the leader of literati. Others may forget it, but he certainly will not.
"Maybe when we go back this time, the Tao family will send their noble daughter to Xizhou."
Zhou Chen's face changed. What this person couldn't bear the most was talking about things. Xie Chong's muttering made him feel that this possibility was extremely high.
'漼Shiyi, it should be soon.'
When Zhou Chen first watched the TV series, he liked Miao Shiyi. This noble daughter of the Miao family was kind and lovely, lively and intelligent, and had very upright views.
The most important thing is that she can unswervingly believe in the male protagonist. No matter what others say, she always stands firmly on Zhou Shengchen's side. There is almost no misunderstanding or mutual torture between them.
Sadomasochism is mostly caused by the loyalty, filial piety etiquette and family rules in the context of the times.
After breakfast, under Zhou Chen's order, Nanchen's army quickly integrated and set off.
Zhou Chen had been observing all the time. Judging from the behavior of King Nanchen's army, he knew that this was indeed an elite army. It made sense that King Nanchen was invincible.
It is because the commander-in-chief, King Xiao Nanchen, has enough self-discipline and strict military orders that the soldiers below can have such spirit.
"Set off!"
The capital of Beichen was in Zhongzhou, which in terms of geographical location was almost the same as Luoyang in later generations. The most important city to the west of Beichen was Xizhou, which was also one of the important capitals of the ancient dynasty.
Xizhou is also a fiefdom of Nanchen Palace and the most important military area in the west. It is currently controlled by King Xiao Nanchen Zhou Shengchen. King Xiao Nanchen is also the most powerful vassal king in Beichen. Almost everything in the west of Beichen is guarded by King Xiao Nanchen.
.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Xizhou and surrounding towns, the people may not know who the emperor is, but they definitely do not know who King Xiao Nanchen is.
When the Nanchen King's army was marching quickly, outside Xizhou City, a large group of people was slowly approaching the city gate. The momentum was so great that the people who were coming and going were unconsciously getting out of the way.
At the gate of the city, a group of people were waiting neatly on horseback. These people were the guards guarding Xizhou and retainers of Prince Nanchen's Mansion. The leader was Zhou Tianxing, the second disciple of Prince Xiao Nanchen.
"coming."
When the large army of the Yang family entered the territory of King Xiao Nanchen's influence, someone rushed to report it. He also calculated the time and waited here.
Although the Prince of Nanchen is also a noble prince, as the head of the world's intellectuals, the status of the Ni family is not much worse than that of the Prince of Nanchen. He just sent his daughter to become a disciple and sent 3,000 private soldiers for protection. An ordinary family
, how can you have such ability?
In the plot, the emperor Liu Zixing must compromise with the Tao family in order to stabilize the country. We can also see the power of the Tao family and their status in the world's famous families.
Zhou Tianxing received the large troops of the Tiao family at the city gate and wanted to take them to the palace, but was rejected by the general of the Tiao family, Tiao Shou, and took the people of the Tiao family to stay temporarily at the inn.
In the carriage, a girl with a delicate and beautiful appearance gently lifted the curtain, and saw the majestic Xizhou City Wall in front of her, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.
Ever since she learned that she was going to Xizhou to become a disciple a few years ago, she had been secretly looking forward to it, because she had been living in the Tiao family since she was born, and she had very few opportunities to leave the Tiao family's mansion, so this time she could stay away from it.
When Qinghe went to Xizhou, she was looking forward to it but also nervous.
Looking at the city wall, Nao Shiyi couldn't help but think of King Xiao Nanchen, who was about to become his master and become famous all over the world, and he was looking forward to it now.
'King Xiao Nanchen, Zhou Shengchen, master?'
Shiyi suffered from aphasia due to stimulation when she was young. She has been to numerous doctors, but to no avail. So now she is still unable to speak and can only communicate through sign language.
One day later, when the sky was dim, Nanchen's army marched on the official road in an orderly manner, with banners covering the sun and a mighty momentum.
As they were about to arrive outside Xizhou City, the soldiers obviously became excited, and each team was moving quickly.
Everyone in the royal army knew that His Highness was going to parade the royal army outside the city when the sun rose in the east, so everyone was full of energy and high morale.
Zhou Chen, dressed in black and red armor, walked behind with his military advisor, Hong Xiaoyu and other disciples, following the large army.
There was light snow falling in the sky. On top of the Xizhou City Wall, Yu Shiyi followed his brother Yu Feng to the city wall and saw the Nanchen King's army arrayed outside the city wall.
Both Nao Shiyi and Nao Feng were wearing brocade clothes and large cloaks. They looked down, not feeling cold, but full of expectation.
Yu Feng is the third son of Yu's family and Yu Guang, and he is also the cousin who cares most about Yu Shiyi. He is several years older than Yu Shiyi. He can be said to be handsome, charming, and suave. The relationship between the two siblings is also very deep. In order to take care of Yu Shiyi
, he came to Xizhou specially to join the army.
