When Zhou Chen and others arrived at the interception site, most of Li Tongguang's group had been killed or injured, and only a few people were left barely resisting.
In addition to Zhu Yiwei's men, those who besieged Li Tongguang were also Beipan aliens who came to Hexian County through secret passages to plunder.
Although the opponent had a large number of people, when reinforcements like Zhou Chen and others arrived, there was a huge disparity in force and they were quickly defeated. Most of the people were left behind, and only a few fish that slipped through the net took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Li Tongguang was naturally happy to be rescued, but being rescued by Zhou Chen and others made him a little uneasy.
Especially when he saw Zhou Chen, he felt even more unhappy. No matter whether Princess Huyang was his master or not, as long as he saw Zhou Chen, the so-called princess and princess, he would be filled with jealousy and murderous intent.
Zhou Chen was even more displeased with Li Tongguang. After the matter was resolved, he didn't even say a word of nonsense and just drove away.
After Ning Yuanzhou and Li Tongguang exchanged pleasantries, they quickly found out that the group of people who showed up turned out to be from Beipan.
Speaking of this group of Beipan people, Zhou Chen thought it was really ridiculous, so he dug a dozens of miles long underground secret tunnel from outside Tianmen Pass, leading directly to Hexian County.
Not to mention traveling into this world, when he first watched the TV series, he thought it was ridiculous. This was really ancient times. It was almost the scientific level of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
You can dig an underground passage that is dozens of miles long, and go back and forth so many times. Do you really think that it is digging underground pipelines in modern society? You can dig underground if you want to?
Even in the 21st century, it is not a simple matter to complete such a project. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, as well as various calculations and so on.
And Beipan is just a group of nomadic ethnic minorities. Their technical level is more than a star and a half lower than that of the Central Plains. To say that they can complete such a project is simply more exaggerated than a sow climbing a tree.
What’s even more ridiculous is that such an underground passage was dug just to allow a small number of Beipan people to come and plunder. What the hell, is it really true that watching a TV series can’t improve your IQ at all?
If there is such a passage, it will be easy to capture Hexian County, but it is just for looting.
But think about it, it doesn’t matter what kind of logic or plot the ancient puppet TV series requires.
Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi ignored this matter. Early the next morning, they told Yang Ying and Ning Yuanzhou, and then rode away together.
They had already agreed to get married, but they were not getting married at the mission post house, but were preparing to go to Jinsha Tower. After Zhou Chen told Jin Meiniang yesterday, she went back to prepare immediately. After Zhou Chen and the others went there,
Can perform rituals.
For the sake of Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi, Jin Meiniang directly closed the Jinsha Tower today.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou, everything is ready and waiting for you."
Jin Meiniang's face was full of joy, and she was very happy. She could hold a wedding for her lord in person, which was something she had never thought of.
She was really happy to witness the happiest moment in His Majesty's life.
Because Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi no longer have any relatives, they do not need other more etiquette, just like the children of Jianghu, they are just some simple rituals.
What surprised Zhou Chen was that he actually saw Yu Shisan, Yuan Lu, and Qian Zhao.
Yu Shisan blinked at Zhou Chen and said with a smile: "Isn't it surprising? Hehe, we have been brothers for many years after all, but they didn't notify us when they got married."
Zhou Chen explained: "I just don't want to trouble you. After all, the current situation is special. Ruyi and I have made a private decision for life."
"Hey, special is special. Since we are here, we must convince you today."
"Ning Tou and Sun Lang want to protect His Highness, so the three of us are here."
"Brother Zhou, sister Ruyi, congratulations to you, I have always felt that you are the best match."
Amidst the blessings from everyone, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi completed the ceremony, and then Zhou Chen was dragged to drink by Yu Shisan and the others until midnight before they were able to enter the bridal chamber.
"Ruyi, from today on, we are husband and wife, and you are my wife, Zhou Chen."
"If you treat me badly, I will..."
Ren Ruyi was dressed in red and wanted to say harsh words, but in the end he didn't say it. Instead, he put his hands around Zhou Chen's neck, his eyes as tender as water.
At this moment, Ren Ruyi seemed to have changed into a different person, becoming extremely charming, and wearing a red wedding dress, she was full of temptation.
Zhou Chen didn't pretend to be a gentleman, he hugged her directly, removed the obstructive objects on her body, and gently placed Ren Ruyi on the bed.
…………
Yu Shisan and the others left early the next morning, while Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi remained in Jinsha Tower.
After the interception and killing incident last night, Li Tongguang's attitude towards the mission changed slightly, and the next day he followed Ning Yuanzhou and others to investigate Beipan.
Finally, they found out that the Beipan people came to Hexian secretly through an underground passage. For this reason, Ning Yuanzhou directly blew up the underground passage.
The two discussed things about the Beipan people for a long time, and Li Tongguang suddenly changed the subject.
"Why don't we see Princess Huyang and that commander's horse today?"
Ning Yuanzhou immediately glanced at him with a slightly sympathetic look and said, "They have other things to do today, so they didn't come."
Li Tongguang hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked: "Palace Master Ning, I would like to ask, is that person named Zhou Chen really the princess of Huyang Princess?"
"certainly."
Ning Yuanzhou gave the answer without hesitation.
Princess Huyang is a lie, but starting from yesterday, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi's couple became real, so he is not lying.
Li Tongguang's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He was still not sure whether Ren Ruyi was his master, but regardless of whether he was, because of his almost identical appearance, he could not accept Ren Ruyi being with another man.
Together.
Just thinking about it makes me want to kill someone.
Thinking that the next trip to Anguo would probably require Li Tongguang's cooperation, Ning Yuanzhou gave him a kind reminder.
"Marquis Changqing, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's best not to provoke the princess and the county horse again. If the county horse is angered, he will kill someone."
"threaten me?"
Li Tongguang looked disdainful: "Don't forget, this is Anguo. If you attack me, don't you want to welcome back your king?"
Ning Yuanzhou said: "It's hard to say. Something is really going to happen to Marquis Changqing. Who knows who could do it. After all, Marquis Changqing also has many enemies in An. Just like last night, maybe it was Zhu Yiwei or Bei.
Pan Ren, it could be someone else, right?"
Li Tongguang's eyes became even more gloomy. If it hadn't been for the help of the Wu people last night, he would have definitely died, so it was really difficult to refute these words in front of the person who saved his life.
"Master Ning, what is the origin of that Junma?"
"Marquis Changqing, do you think I will tell you?"
Li Tongguang snorted coldly, but there was nothing he could do against Ning Yuanzhou.
It took another day for Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi to return to the mission, and the mission was just packed up and ready to set off again.
The difference is that this time, it is not only the envoy team, but also the introduced team from Anguo to lead the way.
Arriving at the boundary of Huanzhou, while the team was recuperating, Ren Ruyi took Zhou Chen with him to the forest.
"Is this where you lived when you were a child?"
"Well, but the village is gone, and as for the people, there are no more."
When she left, she was still young and could only remember the approximate location, but she never went back to look for it.
I passed by here today, and I just felt something in my heart, so I brought Zhou Chen here to have a look.
Zhou Chen saw the jujube tree in front of him and went over to pick some for Ren Ruyi.
"Eat something."
"Um."
Ren Ruyi held Zhou Chen's arm and first gave Zhou Chen a bite before eating it himself.
"Zhou Chen, have you ever thought about where we will go in the future after I avenge my empress?"
"I don't care. I listen to you. If you want to travel around the world, I will accompany you. If you want to find a place to live and work in peace and contentment, I will accompany you to live and work in peace and contentment. In short, we are husband and wife now. Wherever I go, you will be there.
, wherever you go, I will be there.”
Ren Ruyi's eyes shone brightly and she smiled sweetly.
"I don't want to work for those powerful people like before. I want to do my own thing, just like Mei Niang. I'm a little envious that she can do what she wants."
Zhou Chen said: "Then let's learn from her and build our own power. I've already thought of a name, let's call it Langya Pavilion."
"Langya Pavilion?"
Ren Ruyi looked surprised, knowing that Zhou Chen could not suddenly think of this name.
"What's the moral?"
"I used to have a master who came from Langya Pavilion. Although Langya Pavilion is gone now, we can rebuild one. We can do our old business, collect intelligence, sell intelligence, and also provide services to the world's martial arts masters and major forces.
Rich list, etc.”
Ren Ruyi's eyes lit up as he listened: "It sounds interesting."
"Of course, after we finish the Anguo matter, we will start taking action."
"Okay, I can't wait."
In the past years, Ren Ruyi had never lived for herself. After everything was done, she wanted to live according to her heart. What Zhou Chen said was exactly in line with her wishes, making her a little bit ready to make a move.
In the distance, Li Tongguang looked here from a distance and saw Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi clinging tightly to each other, clenching their fists, clenching their teeth, and their eyes were a little red.
He is usually a calm person, but when it comes to matters involving his master, he will completely lose his mind.
But no matter how unwilling and angry he was, the two of them did not take him seriously after all. He could only hide in the dark, unable to rage.
Passing by a shoal, in order to repay the last aid, he told Ning Yuanzhou and the others the burial places of the Tiandao followers who died in the battle of Tianmenguan.
Ning Yuanzhou and others went to dig in the shallows in panic and excitement.
Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi stood together, watching them dig in silence.
However, Li Tongguang came over and asked in a sarcastic tone: "Why don't you go with them? I heard that you were once a member of Liudaotang."
Zhou Chen just glanced at him coldly.
"none of your business."
"you……"
Li Tongguang's face turned red with anger, but Zhou Chen had turned his head and no longer looked at him, and Ren Ruyi, whom he cared about most, also didn't say anything.
Zhou Chen did not step forward to help, not because he had no friendship. In fact, he was not close to Chai Ming and others from Tiandao. After all, before he traveled through time, he was just an inconspicuous Taoist in Senluo Palace, and Ning Yuan
Zhou and others are all elite members of Liu Daotang, and they are in constant contact with each other, so they have a good relationship with them.
At this moment, he left it to Ning Yuanzhou and others.
The bones of the Tiandao brothers were dug up, and everyone paid homage on the spot. They stayed for a long time before setting off again.
Several days later, the delegation finally arrived in Andu. As the envoy to welcome the emperor, Yang Ying, the 'Prince of Ceremony', took it to the Anguo Palace to prepare to meet Emperor An.
Before leaving, everyone worriedly gave Yang Ying some advice, and Zhou Chen also gave some advice.
"No matter what happens in the palace, don't be afraid, stay calm, because in comparison, the people of Anguo are more afraid of you than we are; Anguo has been on a series of conquests in recent years, and there have been great opinions in the country. Emperor An
We are going to war, and we urgently need these one hundred thousand taels of gold to stabilize our army, so Emperor An will never let anything happen to you before he gets the gold."
Yang Ying listened carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, I will remember it."
It was a pity that when Yang Ying entered the palace for the first time, she did not see Emperor An. Instead, she was threatened by Emperor An. In the end, she maintained her willpower and left the Anguo Palace with dignity.
They didn't see Emperor An, but the whole delegation was not discouraged. Before they came, they had already guessed that Andy might deliberately make things difficult for them. If they couldn't bear this setback, they couldn't even talk about rescuing Emperor Wu in Andu.
, and welcomed back to the country of Wu.
Furthermore, they came here to seek revenge for their death. If they were not afraid of death, how could they be afraid of showing off their power?
Ning Yuanzhou and Yang Ying are still planning their next meeting with Emperor An, and are trying their best to meet Emperor Wu Yang Xingyuan.
Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi came to a remote and deserted mausoleum.
This is a dilapidated and messy mausoleum. Judging from the scale, it was quite large when it was first built, but now it has long been dilapidated. No one has been there for an unknown period of time, and no one has cleaned it. It is a mess.
But this is the mausoleum of Queen Anguo and Queen Zhaojie, the mausoleum of the majestic mother of a nation. It is really sad that it has been reduced to such a desolate place.
"Di An is really a heartless person. After all, she is still his first wife. After establishing a kingdom, even if there are conflicts, for the sake of his own face, he will not do so."
Zhou Chen ignored the several tombkeepers who had fallen to the ground around him, and looked at Ren Ruyi's respectful memorial ceremony. In his heart, he was extremely disdainful of Emperor An, whom he had not yet met.
How can the leader of a country achieve great things if he only has this little city and mind.
The reason why Emperor An has been able to win consecutive battles in recent years is mainly because An's foundation is strong enough, his troops are strong, and most of the countries he fights are weak countries.
In the battle with Wu Guo at Tianmen Pass, if Yang Xingyuan had not been the loser and replaced by a seasoned veteran, even if he could not defeat An Guo, the defeat would not have been so disastrous.
Ren Ruyi bowed for a long time and said many words before slowly getting up.
Zhou Chen walked to her side and bowed politely.
"Queen, don't worry, Ruyi and I are married, and I will definitely protect her in the future."
He had never met Empress Zhaojie, but she admired the empress' integrity. Even if everyone betrayed her relatives and separated, she did not approve of Emperor An's collusion with the Beipan people.
You must know that she is a queen. The queen who is the mother of a country can still have such integrity, which is far better than the military leader of Emperor An.
Not to mention that she is the person Ren Ruyi cares about the most, so respect is a must.
Ren Ruyi also said: "Madam, he is the Zhou Chen I told you. Although you once warned me not to fall in love with men easily, Zhou Chen is different. I believe in him, just like I believe in you. We
It will be fine, and we will have our own children. We have also made an appointment to build Langya Pavilion together, travel around the world together, and do what we want to do, so you don't have to worry about me anymore."
"Empress, I hope your spirit in heaven can always protect us."
The two of them stayed in front of Queen Zhaojie's tomb for a long time. Even if it rained, they did not leave immediately.
On the way back, Ren Ruyi said: "I will go to Zhu Yiwei in disguise tomorrow."
"Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, I am most familiar with Zhu Yiwei. One person is enough."
"Okay, then I will help you investigate the matter of Queen Zhaojie, and the results will be available soon."
"Well, then we will divide our forces into two groups, resolve the matter here as soon as possible, and then do what we want to do."
If it weren't for the desire to avenge Queen Zhaojie and deal with Zhu Yiwei's affairs, she actually didn't want to return to Anguo, let alone now that she still had Zhou Chen.
She was helpless, and with Zhou Chen, she had a place to go, and Anguo was a place she no longer cared about.
