Chapter 855: Two months later, God’s calculations will be worse than those of others
Life on Langya Mountain is relaxed and leisurely, and more than two months have passed in a flash.
During this period of time, Zhou Chen has been studying various miscellaneous studies with his master, Lao Pavilion Master Lin. However, he has not had much contact with miscellaneous studies such as Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements Bagua before, and he has no martial arts knowledge in this area.
He is extremely talented, and even though his mental attributes are already very high, it is still very difficult to learn.
This is not beyond the expectations of Pavilion Master Lin. He has lived for so many years and has seen countless geniuses, but even a genius cannot be good at everything.
Although he has been staying in Langya Mountain, Zhou Chen and Gong Yu have been exchanging letters, and he also knows that Gong Yu is doing well recently, so he can stay in Langya Mountain with peace of mind.
In the study, Pavilion Master Lin put away the slips.
"Xiao Chen, I think you have been restless these past few days and are not suitable to continue studying. That's the end of today's lesson."
Zhou Chen replied sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Master, I've really been a little absent-minded recently."
More than two months have passed, and Gong Yu is not far away from giving birth. Even though Zhou Chen has been a father many times, he is still nervous and worried this time.
In addition, Li Gang and others sent news that as the weather got colder, Mei Changsu's health was also affected, and the situation in the capital was also changing.
Pavilion Master Lin nodded and said: "I can understand your thoughts. During this period of time, I have basically taught you almost everything. The rest needs to be understood and learned by yourself slowly. You
If you want to go down the mountain, you can go now."
"Master, are you planning to go to sea after the new year?"
"Well, I made an agreement with Lin Chen to spend the New Year in the mountains before leaving."
Zhou Chen said: "Master, I will see you off when the time comes."
Pavilion Master Lin showed a gentle smile. At this age, he has taken a clear view of many things, but he still cares about his son and apprentice.
Zhou Chen went down the mountain without much fanfare. He just said something to his master, Lao Pavilion Master Lin, and his senior brother Lin Chen, and then quietly went down the mountain.
On the way to Jinling City, he went to the Qinhuai River and stayed with Wan Bo for a few days.
Zhou Chen likes ancient times very much. In this era, as long as you have the ability, even if you have many women, no one will call you a scumbag. Three wives and four concubines are the norm.
Just say that among the high officials of the imperial court, even the so-called Qingliu, which one does not have several concubines?
Wan Bo is still as gentle as before. No matter when Zhou Chen passes by, she will serve Zhou Chen wholeheartedly.
Zhou Chen also likes Bang Bo very much, and enjoys having fun with Bang Bo and exchanging piano music...
A few days later, there was only more than a month left before the Chinese New Year. After Zhou Chen said goodbye to Wan Bo, he rode his horse and walked slowly towards Jinling City along the official road.
When he was less than ten miles away from Jinling City, Zhou Chen suddenly heard a violent sound of horse hoofbeats. From the sound, it seemed that there were at least dozens of horsemen galloping.
Looking back, he saw dozens of people and horses galloping towards him from behind. As they approached him, their speed suddenly slowed down.
Zhou Chen saw the person on the lowest horse at a glance. The other person obviously saw him, so he immediately slowed down.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing."
"Mr. Chen."
That's right, the dozens of horses galloping towards us were none other than those led by Prince Jing.
Zhou Chen was very surprised to see Prince Jing here, and Jamel Xiao was equally surprised to see Zhou Chen.
Jamel Xiao was the first to ask: "I heard from Mr. Su that he went to Langya Mountain a few months ago. Did he just come back?"
Although he did not know the true identities of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, he also knew that Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were good friends and were on the same path, so he did not hide his acquaintance with Mei Changsu in front of Zhou Chen.
.
Zhou Chen said: "It is true that he has returned from Langya Mountain. His Highness, Prince Jing, has been full of troubles all the way. He has also just returned to the capital from other places?"
When he left the capital, the prince had already fallen. The current Daliang court should be the moment when Prince Yu and Prince Jing were facing each other. Logically speaking, Prince Jing would not leave the capital at will at this time.
Jamel Xiao said: "I was ordered to go to Yuezhou and other places to control the famine. After finishing the matters there, I returned to Beijing. I didn't expect to meet Mr. by such a coincidence."
He was very polite to Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen was not only a good friend of Mei Changsu, he had also rescued the Empress Dowager, and he was a top expert in the world. For someone like him who was born as a military general, even if he had a noble status, he still
I have a strong admiration for people with strong martial arts skills.
Hearing Jamel Xiao's words, Zhou Chen suddenly felt something in his heart. He has been studying on Langya Mountain for more than two months. Although he will also receive messages from Gong Yu and Li Gang, there is a delay, so for the situation in the capital,
, and don’t know much about it.
I remember that there seemed to be a section in the plot where when Prince Jing left the capital, Prince Yu and Xia Jiang teamed up to target Prince Jing.
'However, Wei Zheng has my warning, so he shouldn't be caught by Xia Jiang like in the plot, right?'
In order to cooperate with Mei Changsu's plan, Zhou Chen had already sent a letter to Wei Zheng before they came to the capital, asking Wei Zheng not to leave Yaowang Valley while they were executing the plan.
Wei Zheng is a smart man and should understand what he means.
As long as Wei Zheng is not caught, Xia Jiang will have no reason to threaten Prince Jing and Mei Changsu, and it will be even more difficult to sow discord between them.
"Sir, you also want to return to the capital, shall we come together?"
"OK."
Zhou Chen did not refuse Jamel Xiao's invitation and followed them into the city, which was much more convenient.
With Prince Jing leading the way, Zhou Chen entered the Jinling City Gate very easily this time. When he was at the gate, he said goodbye to Prince Jing.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, I will take my leave now."
"Sir, go slowly, I have to go to the palace to return to my life."
Zhou Chen and King Jing had just separated and hadn't gone far when they suddenly noticed Lie Zhanying hurried to King Jing's side. But before Lie Zhanying could speak to King Jing, King Yu led his people to meet King Jing.
Making him frown.
He left immediately and quickly without stopping for more.
Originally, he was planning to go back to his mansion directly, but after seeing this scene, he decided to go to the Su Mansion first to find out what major events had happened in the capital recently.
Su Mansion!
Mei Changsu had a cold attack due to weather conditions, so he had to recuperate for several days. He only recovered a little in the past two days.
After the men sent out told Mei Changsu the information they had gathered, his expression suddenly changed.
Zhou Chen did not enter the Su Mansion openly, but sneaked in quietly. When he arrived at the Su Mansion, he found Mei Changsu gathering with everyone.
As soon as Zhou Chen approached Mei Changsu's room, Xiao Feiliu suddenly rushed out.
"who?"
Fei Liu's exclamation attracted the attention of Mei Changsu and others in the room, and they all stood up involuntarily.
Fei Liu was about to take action when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Xiao Feiliu has made some progress again."
I saw Zhou Chen slowly falling from the roof.
The moment they saw Zhou Chen appear, Li Gang and Zhen Ping both shouted excitedly: "Sir, you are finally back."
Mei Changsu's solemn expression also revealed a smile: "Did you just come back?"
Zhou Chen nodded to Mei Changsu and said: "Li Gang and the others sent me a message saying that you were not in good health. They were worried and asked me to come back and have a look. It happened that Gong Yu was about to give birth, so I came back.
, I just entered the city with Prince Jing, and it looks like something big happened?"
As he spoke, he looked at the silver-haired old man beside him.
"Master Su Lao Valley, why are you here? Could it be that something happened to Wei Zheng?"
Although Su Lao Valley Master was older and had a higher seniority, he still had an embarrassed look on his face at this time.
"Oh, it's our fault that we didn't listen to your warning, sir, and that's why Wei Zheng was caught by the people from the Xuanjing Division."
Zhou Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What's going on? Didn't I specifically tell you not to let Wei Zheng leave Yaowang Valley within one or two years? With the natural dangers of Yaowang Valley, even Xia Jiang himself
Even if we take action, it’s impossible to capture Wei Zheng, right?”
The master of Su Lao Valley was even more embarrassed. It was Mei Changsu who came to the rescue: "Xiao Chen, you can't blame them. Recently, there was a big deal in Yaowang Valley that could not be refused. Wei Zheng had no choice but to take action. Who knew that by such a coincidence, he was
People from the Xuanjing Division were ambushed."
"Okay, don't stand outside and talk. Come in first. Now that you are back, we will have more choices."
Mei Changsu greeted everyone into the room. After everyone sat down, he spoke again.
"Wei Zheng was arrested. This is a result that no one wants to see. But now that it has happened, it is useless to talk about anything else. The most important thing is how to rescue Wei Zheng."
Master Su Lao Valley said in a deep voice: "Master Mei, if you have any plans, just tell me, I will leave this handful of old bones to you, as long as you can save people."
Mei Changsu said: "Don't worry about Wei Zheng's safety now. I already know that Xia Jiang caught Wei Zheng with the purpose of driving a wedge between me and Jingyan. With Jingyan's character, he is likely to succeed, so Wei Zheng and we
We must save, but we must take a long-term approach.”
Zhou Chen was also helpless. Some things were really beyond his control. Just like Wei Zheng, how could something like this happen if he stayed in the Medicine King Valley properly?
But what Mei Changsu said is right. What happened has already happened. It is useless to say more. Saving people is the most important thing.
"To be honest, rescuing Wei Zheng is not too difficult."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Mei Changsu and others looked at him in shock.
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean by this? Do you have a way to rescue Wei Zheng?"
Zhou Chen said: "Xia Jiang is very smart, but he is too suspicious, which makes it easy for us to take advantage of him. Don't be too anxious about Wei Zheng's matter. Contact Sister Dong first, and then I will follow Xia Jiang. I will definitely be able to find out.
Leave Wei Zheng’s detention place.”
Mei Changsu's eyes lit up: "You mean, Xia Jiang might not imprison Wei Zheng in the dungeon of the Xuanjing Division?"
"He doesn't know our identities yet. The person he wants to deal with the most is actually Prince Jing. If he wants to seize Prince Jing's hand, he must use Wei Zheng. As long as he does this, there is a high probability that he will not use Wei Zheng.
Zheng was placed in the dungeon of the Xuanjing Division, and he was too cautious to leave any hope to Prince Jing of rescuing Wei Zheng."
Zhou Chen knew the plot. Now that Wei Zheng had been arrested, Xia Jiang would probably still choose that approach, so all this was within his expectation.
"One more thing, Xiao Shu, what's going on over there on Tong Road?"
Zhen Ping said on behalf of Mei Changsu: "The Tonglu side has retreated, and the Juan Niang sent by Qin Banruo has also been captured."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Now that the prince has fallen, the next step is the battle between King Yu and King Jing. We don't need to be too cautious. It's time to take action against Qin Banruo. I have a hunch that as long as Qin Banruo is caught,
There will definitely be unexpected gains.”
"If we catch Qin Banrui now, it will be difficult to find out all her hidden clues."
It is not difficult to catch Qin Banruo. Mei Changsu mainly wanted to find all the Hua clan spies in Qin Banruo's hands, so he kept letting Qin Banruo go.
Zhou Chen said: "Nothing can be perfect. You listen to me on this matter. If you drag it on like this, your health will get worse and worse. I can't wait that long anymore. I must get rid of Xia Jiang and King Yu as soon as possible."
, let Prince Jing come to the throne and help us complete our plan."
Mei Changsu said: "But if you are too eager, something may happen."
Zhou Chen looked at Mei Changsu particularly seriously and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Shu, believe me, just like I always believed in you before. Your plan is fine, but it takes too much time, and Daliang is so guilty again."
If the fight continues, the situation in the DPRK will become even more chaotic."
"I returned to Langya Pavilion this time and saw a lot of information about various countries. To tell you the truth, Dayu, Southern Chu, Beiyan, and even small countries like Ye Qin in the East China Sea have been strengthening their military forces in recent years, and the national strength of other countries has declined.
It is getting stronger, and Daliang has been at war with itself over the years. Who do you think the countries will target if they want to take action?"
Mei Changsu's expression changed greatly when he heard this. Helping Daliang had always been his goal, and it was also the goal of their Lin family. Of course, he could not tolerate Daliang being in a crisis.
"You mean, in recent years, there may be wars between countries?"
"It's not possible, it's certain. And within the past two years, this is the judgment made by my master."
Zhou Chen moved out his master, Pavilion Master Lin, and said with a serious expression: "So we don't have much time left. Xia Jiang and King Yu must solve it as soon as possible."
Mei Changsu's expression changed several times, and finally he nodded slowly: "Okay, we can follow what you said and capture Qin Banruo first, but we still have to plan the rest."
"Well, you first find out Qin Banruo's route. As soon as she leaves Prince Yu's Mansion, tell me immediately and I will catch her. If I act alone, the Jiangzuo Alliance will not be exposed."
"As for Wei Zheng, let's find Sister Dong first. If Sister Dong can't confirm it, leave it to me. I will definitely find out where Wei Zheng is being held."
Everyone discussed for a long time, and finally only Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were left.
Mei Changsu said softly: "It feels like you have become a little more impatient after returning to Langya Mountain?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's not true, I just feel that your progress is too slow and your body can't bear it. Also, my child will be born soon, and I want to solve all these things as soon as possible.
Please spend more time with your children in the future.”
"I think you will be a good father in the future." Mei Changsu could not hide his envy in his tone.
Zhou Chen said: "I won't tell you anymore. After entering the city, I went straight to your place. I haven't even returned home yet. I'll go back first."
