Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 122 Good-hearted and hardworking!
After the news that Bei'an Army captured Sichuan City was sent back to Taiyuan, the whole city was filled with joyful atmosphere.

Some knowledgeable people who have read books and have some understanding of Qingzhou's topography know that once Chuancheng is captured, the entire Qingzhou can be said to be in their pockets.

It's certainly exciting.

Sitting in the land of Mo and Qing prefectures like this, Su Yuan really seemed to be "unstoppable".

In the streets and alleys, ordinary people are discussing this matter excitedly.

Zhou Shu and her two maidservants, who were wandering in the street, naturally listened to the discussions of the common people.

Xiao Qing asked: "Miss, tell me, can Su Yuan, the king of Bei'an, really succeed in rebelling? If that's the case, then, ah..."

Halfway through her words, she immediately felt a little rebellious, and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth.

My master, Zhou Shu in front of me is the majestic Seventh Princess of Zhou!If Su Yuan really wants to overthrow Da Zhou, then her status as a princess is naturally worthless.

Xiaoyue patted Xiaoqing's arm, signaling her to be more careful when speaking.

Xiaoqing stuck out her tongue at her, probably because she was too relaxed in Taiyuan, so she spoke without thinking.

If she was still in the palace, she would definitely not dare to have the slightest idea to say this.

"Su Yuan took down Qingzhou, unless he can quickly pose a threat to the capital. Otherwise, I'm afraid he will have to retreat."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shu didn't blame Xiaoqing, but she herself was talking about it, and she didn't seem to care much about the position represented by her princess status.

When Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue heard the words, they both asked curiously, "Why?"

"The capital is in trouble, and all the prefectures have to send troops to serve the king. The total force will add up to millions." Zhou Shu said. There are no passes, and they can all be entered. Once they are encircled, the Bei'an army may even be at risk of being wiped out."

"what……"

Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue didn't know much about the terrain, so they were at a loss after hearing Zhou Shu's words.

Zhou Shu has dabbled extensively since she was a child, and she is familiar with the topography of Da Zhou. Although she can't go to Qingzhou personally, she can judge Su Yuan's current situation.

It is one thing to defeat Qingzhou, but it is another thing to be able to defend it.

If it cannot quickly pose a threat to the capital, Qingzhou will be like a duck without water, and will soon be snatched back by the coming legions of various states.

Unless Su Yuan has enough troops, he can compete with the Qin King's army in various states.

But it's unlikely...

According to Zhou Shu's understanding, Su Yuan's military strength does not exceed 30 at most. This number can gallop freely in Mo and Qingzhou, but it is still too small to face the national military strength.

And the capital city is not so easy to fight...

A few figures flashed in Zhou Shu's mind.

Those are some secret figures who have been in the palace all the time. They are responsible for guarding the safety of the current emperor of Da Zhou. Everyone is unpredictable, and even the princes and daughters of them are a little scared.

Zhou Shu knew that these people must be martial arts masters.

She has read some travel notes written by Jianghu people, and she has some understanding of what martial arts masters can do.

At the level of a master or grand master, with a certain elite troops, it can achieve excellent results on the battlefield.

On the other hand, Su Yuan...

Zhou Shu didn't seem to have heard the common people mention that there are any martial arts masters in Su Yuan's army.

Then this is also a big disadvantage.

But according to what he has seen and heard these days, Zhou Shu's impression of Su Yuan is that he is a relatively cautious person, and he can naturally see the deficiencies that others can see.

Maybe he has his own way to deal with it, but no one else knows it.

Zhou Shu thought, shaking his head slightly.

She didn't know why she cared so much about it.

……

In the afternoon, the weather became hot in June, and the three of them returned to the palace and found that there were many more soldiers in the palace than usual.

Just as they were curious, they saw Yang Zhen coming out of the kitchen with some fruits, with a smile on his face, looking very happy.

"Uncle Yang." Xiaoqing asked curiously, "Why are there so many people in the house today?"

Compared with the other maid, Xiaoyue, she has a familiar temperament. She has become more familiar with Yang Zhen in the past few days, and her words are no longer so reserved.

Seeing the three of them, Yang Zhen smiled even wider: "Miss Xiaoqing, Miss Xiaoyue, and Princess Princess, it's a good thing! The prince has returned home!"

"what?!"

Xiao Qing let out a low cry, then raised his hand to cover his mouth.

Xiaoyue looked at her master Zhou Shu, who also showed surprise on his beautiful face.

"Isn't King Bei'an on the front line of Qingzhou? How could he come back..."

"Hehe, I don't know, anyway, it's a good thing for the prince to come back! The prince is currently in the east courtyard, and when he comes out, you will meet the prince just in time, my lord princess!"

Yang Zhen was a little embarrassed when he said that, and smiled sarcastically.

"Princess, you have come from a long way, and I have not been able to see the prince, and I feel sorry for you. Don't worry, I will tell the prince later!"

"This...isn't necessary." Zhou Shu had a look of expectation in his eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"The king of Bei'an hurried back, there must be something important to do. I won't delay the prince's time."

"Princess, what are you talking about! Don't worry, I will tell the prince!"

After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he left in a hurry. Zhou Shu opened his mouth, but still didn't stop him.

Xiao Qing said: "Miss, don't you really want to meet Prince Bei'an? Why..."

"..."

In the middle of Xiaoqing's speech, Zhou Shu took a look and closed his mouth decisively.

Xiaoqing said very considerately: "Miss, let's go back to the hospital."

"Ah."

Zhou Shu felt a little flustered in her heart. She really wanted to see Su Yuan, but now that Su Yuan really came back, she felt a little repulsive in her heart.

Even she herself didn't know why.

East Court.

After Su Yuan came back, he came to look for Zhen Miao immediately.

It just so happened that Zhen Miao was not practicing kung fu, seeing him coming back, he asked, "How is your business going?"

"It's going well, but there are also problems."

Su Yuan quickly talked about the attack on Qingzhou, Zhen Miao listened quietly.

"...In the end we didn't catch up with Bai Shiquan, the leader of the beggar gang." Su Yuan said with resentment at the end, "It's a pity to let him run away. If we meet again next time, we must catch this bastard!"

Su Yuan was really upset about not being able to catch and kill Bai Shiquan.

As Na Shenxu said, the chief culprit of using common people to threaten is Fu Chengyang, and the second murderer is Bai Shiquan.

As the leader of the beggar gang, this guy is not at all the chivalrous, courageous, and passionate person that a Jianghu person should have.

On the contrary, there is almost no difference between this Baishiquan and those unscrupulous officials of the imperial court, they all regard the lives of the people as nothing.

"The grand master wants to leave all his heart, so it's really not easy to stay." Zhen Miao said after listening.

"Great Master, I came back this time mainly to ask you to go to the front with me." Su Yuan didn't hide anything, and directly stated his purpose.

Facing Zhen Miao, he didn't want to say any polite words. Facing her impenetrable eyes, he would only say everything he thought in his heart.

"There must be other grandmasters in the capital, even great grandmasters... I want to ask Taishifu to protect me. If something happens to me, everything will be in vain."

This may sound narcissistic at first, but it is the truth.

Zhen Miao also had no doubts, she nodded and said: "I can go with you and protect you well."

"Thank you Grand Master!"

"Between you and me, why are you being polite. And I made a promise that I will not leave until you capture the capital of Great Zhou."

Zhen Miao's tone was flat, but Su Yuan heard it in his ears and felt extraordinarily warm in his heart.

He still wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he felt empty again, and there was nothing more to say.

"In that case, let me rest for a while, and let's go!"

The front line is tense, and Su Yuan cannot stay in Taiyuan for long.

Zhen Yao nodded: "Okay."

At this time, Yang Zhen shouted from outside the courtyard: "My lord! I brought you some fresh fruit, would you like some?"

"Uncle Yang, come in."

Yang Zhen came in with fruit, greeted Zhen Miao respectfully, and put down the wooden tray.

He looked at Su Yuan with a smile and asked, "My lord, how long will you stay this time?"

"I won't stay for a day, I will leave after a short rest."

"Huh? In such a hurry?"

"Well, the front line is now at a critical moment, and we must not neglect it."

After Su Yuan finished speaking, seeing Yang Zhen's strange expression, he was also curious.

"Uncle Yang, what's the matter? You look like you have something to tell me?"

Yang Zhen hesitated and said: "My lord, it's like this, the Seventh Princess who came to marry in the capital has lived in the mansion for a long time, and you haven't seen him yet..."

"What's good to see, just eat and drink and entertain her. She can do whatever she likes, as long as it's not a crime. Didn't I tell you, Uncle Yang?"

"Yes, yes, my lord, did you say that my old man did it! But the princess is really good, kind-hearted, and hardworking. Not to mention, she also helps the house to starch and wash clothes... What do you think?" Thinking, how can a dignified princess do such a rough job! If you want me to say lord, at least you have to see him, don't you..."

Su Yuan frowned slightly after hearing Yang Zhen's words.

It seems that the princess has already "bought" Yang Zhen.

But he knew Yang Zhen, the latter would not deliberately say good things about someone, and now that he said that, it meant that the princess's usual words and deeds were indeed very pleasing.

Hearing what he said like this, Su Yuan also felt that it was indeed time to meet.

But it wasn't because of anything else, but because, he thought that as the person being married, the princess was actually a victim too.

Personal wishes were directly erased, and for the benefit of the royal family, they were sent to a remote place casually, married to someone they had never met, and then they didn't care whether they lived or died...

"Well, where does she live?"

When Yang Zhen heard that Su Yuan agreed, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Live right next to your prince's yard!"

"...I'll go over later."

"Alright, then I'll go and inform the princess first!"
