Chapter 1,320 The time is right for the Miao family, the first meeting in life
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.
The soldiers outside the city have formed a square formation. Although there are a lot of them, they all stand upright. There is no noise, only the sound of the wind.
In the center of the square array, in the center of the front, a temporary high platform was built. Everyone faced the direction of the high platform in front and waited quietly.
Obviously, this is not the first time such a military parade has been held.
Jiao Feng whispered to Jiao Shiyi: "Have you seen that high platform? The person who will be on the high platform will be your future master."
Jian Shiyi nodded gently and looked obediently towards the high platform, his eyes twinkling with expectation involuntarily.
At this moment, suddenly bursts of neighing sounds of horses' hooves were heard. When Nianfeng saw it, he saw a group of people and horses approaching quickly, and he shouted in surprise.
"Here he comes, he comes, he comes."
Seeing his excited expression, some people who didn't know it thought he was the one who wanted to become his disciple.
Jian Shiyi took a step forward and approached the city wall. He opened his eyes wide and looked nervously and expectantly at the rapidly approaching team.
Zhou Chen led a group of disciples and close soldiers to the front of the phalanx. He turned over and jumped off his horse. With a solemn expression, he walked to the high platform alone.
Zhou Chen has experienced similar military parades many times in other worlds, and many times there were even more people than this one, so this kind of scene naturally cannot shake him.
He walked straight to the high platform, turned around and looked at the countless soldiers in the array, then walked to the war drum aside, picked up the drumsticks, and started beating the drum.
The original Zhou Shengchen was an invincible warrior on the battlefield, but Zhou Chen's current physical fitness is just as good as his, and his strength is even stronger. Drumming is a piece of cake for him.
As Zhou Chen beat the drums rhythmically, the sound of the drums resounded throughout the world, and all the soldiers followed the drums. They banged their shields with their knives, hit the ground with their spears, and roared loudly.
"As a lesson to the world, we must observe integrity and die righteously."
"As a lesson to the world, we must observe integrity and die righteously."
"As a lesson to the world, we must observe integrity and die righteously."
…………
The sound of drums and roars resounded throughout the world, which was extremely shocking. Both Luo Feng and Luo Shiyi, who were standing on the city wall, were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Jian Shiyi looked at the drumming figure infatuatedly. He couldn't help but put his hands on the city wall, his eyes were blurred, and he was completely attracted by this scene.
A grand military parade does not take very long from start to finish, because it will soon be time to open the city gates.
When Zhou Chen announced that the military parade was over, the soldiers in each formation evacuated back to the camp in an orderly manner. Zhou Chen watched everyone leave before preparing to enter the city with his own soldiers.
The military parade just now allowed him to witness with his own eyes the military power and momentum of the Nanchen Royal Army. The Nanchen Royal Army was indeed extraordinary. At least the troops who came here for the military parade were all elite.
Zhou Chen rode into the city on horseback. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Hong Xiaoyu, who was leading the charge, riding a horse and scolding others with unkind eyes.
He turned his eyes to the two people and remained calm. In fact, he had already noticed the two people standing on the city wall during the military parade. Knowing the plot, he naturally guessed their identities.
The time is appropriate and the wind is flowing.
To be honest, he didn't expect such a coincidence. Just two days after he traveled across time, he happened to meet the Tao family who was sending Tao Shiyi to Xizhou. It seemed that the luck card also had some effect.
Seeing Hong Xiaoyu yelling at him, Zhou Chen rode over.
As soon as he appeared, the eyes of Yu Feng and Yu Shiyi immediately shifted to him, especially Yu Shiyi, whose face turned red unconsciously when he saw Zhou Chen at such a close distance.
Zhou Chen was naturally sizing up Shi Yi. Even with the eyes of countless women he had seen, the little girl in front of him still gave him an amazing feeling.
This stunning appearance is not just about appearance. After all, Ji Shiyi is still just a little girl. When it comes to appearance, he has met many women who are more beautiful than her.
But the kind of temperament she possesses is rare and completely different from modern women, the temperament of a lady from a noble family.
When a man looks at a woman, the first thing he notices is her appearance and figure. There is no doubt about this. But aside from appearance, beauty with temperament is also the ideal type that men pursue.
Many temperamental beauties may not look stunning, but they feel no worse than those stunning beauties, or even more attractive.
However, Shiyi was only thirteen or fourteen years old after all, and was still a little girl in Zhou Chen's eyes.
Although he recognized the identities of Yu Shiyi and others, Zhou Chen had no intention of recognizing them at this time. He just told Hong Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, don't scare them, let's go."
"Yes, Master."
Hong Xiaoyu responded, and when she saw Zhou Chen leaving on horseback, she quickly followed.
Both Shiyi and Feng looked at Zhou Chen's back. One of them was curious and shy, the other was admiring.
Zhou Chen led the team back to Prince Nanchen's Mansion. He was the male protagonist as soon as he time-traveled, and he was also a vassal king with heavy troops. This time-travel should be the one with the highest starting point among his countless time-travels, so it is said that he has bad luck.
The effect is still very good.
As soon as he arrived in front of the palace, Zhou Tianxing, the second disciple who stayed in the palace, happily greeted him.
"Congratulations, Master, on your triumphant return."
Zhou Chen responded softly, and then said: "Come into the house."
The soldiers immediately followed him into the palace, and then the third disciple Xie Yun took them to clean up their business. Zhou Chen took Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing to the main hall of the palace.
Snow was still falling outside. Zhou Chen asked Zhou Tianxing knowingly: "Tianxing, have the family members arrived in Xizhou?"
Zhou Tianxing said in surprise: "Master, you already know. I was about to report to you that the Yang family arrived yesterday. The Yang family in Qinghe is really not simple. They brought a total of three thousand private soldiers. In addition to the Yang family,
In addition to the girl, there is also Saburo Kao."
Hong Xiaoyu reacted: "Master, could it be that the two people under the city gate just now are the Yu family?"
"It should be."
"two?"
Zhou Tianxing looked surprised, and Hong Xiaoyu said: "It's a boy and a girl, the boy is older."
Zhou Tianxing nodded and said: "That should be the case. The disciple gave the token to Saburo Kao. He said he admired the master and wanted to see the master's military parade."
Hong Xiaoyu suddenly showed embarrassment: "I thought they were just a trickster, and I almost caught them. Thanks to Master's eye poison, otherwise you would have been in trouble today."
Then he punched Zhou Tianxing in dissatisfaction, and Zhou Tianxing immediately apologized to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen just waved his hand and didn't mind.
"The purpose of coming here this time is very clear. When is the apprenticeship banquet scheduled?"
"The day after tomorrow? Okay, I understand."
Zhou Chen did not want to change his mind about becoming a disciple, because this was the only option to keep Yang Shiyi in Xizhou. If he refused to become a disciple today, I am afraid that the Yang family would take Yang Shiyi back soon, and even the imperial court would not
There may be some action against him.
He had just traveled through time, so staying the same to deal with the ever-changing situation was the best option. As I said before, completing the main mission was the primary goal.
Therefore, Yang Shiyi's apprenticeship is a must.
As for the future, master-disciple love will not be tolerated by the world?
Haha, will he care?
After Zhou Chen had lunch, he went to the library in the palace. This library also has many scenes in TV plots, and the male and female protagonists spend a lot of time here.
The library is indeed not small, and it is also filled with various kinds of letters. Although paper has been available in this era, there is no printing technology. All books need to be copied manually, but because they are copied with pen and ink, this kind of books are not
Easy to store and easy to damage.
In contrast, although bamboo slips are heavy and complicated, inscribed bamboo slips are relatively easy to preserve, so many precious books at this time still used slips.
As the palace of several generations of princes, Nanchen Palace was originally a person who loved reading, so there were many books collected in the library. However, because the library was very large, it also caused the library to be relatively empty.
Although he had Zhou Shengchen's memory, Zhou Chen still wanted to know more about the world, so he stayed in the library for two consecutive days after returning, immersed in books.
Until this day, the apprenticeship banquet was also a big day for him, so it had been prepared early in the morning, and everyone in the palace paid great attention to it.
There are ten disciples in Nanchen Prince's Mansion, but most of them just occupy the status of disciples. In fact, there is no formal apprenticeship, and it is not as grand as this one.
