Chapter 415: Repaying a favor
The next day.

Xiao Quan left Xiangyang City without saying hello.

Shortly after he left, Chen Mo received a letter from Geng Songfu.

The letter explained that spies were arranged in Fengzhou to investigate. King Huai sent General Chu Ce to lead his troops to leave Fengzhou. The exact number of soldiers and horses was unknown, and their movements were unknown.

However, Geng Songfu guessed that the King of Huai might have sent people to Longyou via Hexi for reinforcements, trying to relieve his own pressure.

In addition, there is also speculation that it may be the conspiracy of King Huai.

It is said that this is just false news released by King Huai, and its purpose is to lure our troops in Huaizhou to attack Fengzhou, and finally encircle and suppress our troops attacking Fengzhou, and take advantage of the situation to recapture Linzhou.

Hearing this, Chen Mo frowned. This King Huai was indeed not someone who would just sit back and wait for death.

But no matter what the purpose was, Chen Mo didn't have the energy to attack Fengzhou at the moment.

First, he is in Linzhou now, and it is already mid-October. By the time he arrives in Huaizhou to take command, I am afraid it will be November and winter has already entered, making it unsuitable for combat.

Second, he agreed to let his soldiers change shifts and go home to visit their relatives.

Third, he was also worried that this might be King Huai's trick to lure troops.

Before next spring, let's adopt a defensive approach first.

After Chen Mo made up his mind, he said: "Sun Meng."

"My subordinate is here." Sun Meng, who heard Chen Mo's call, walked in quickly.

"Order Deng Tian to lead five thousand defenders and immediately rush to Shuofei County, Yuzhou to reinforce the defense."

The troops and horses left behind in Huaizhou are enough, but the troops and horses defending Longyou in Yuzhou are slightly insufficient. The defense needs to be strengthened to prevent accidents.

"promise."

Sun Meng was about to retreat, but Chen Mo stopped him again and said: "It's time to use Yang Xian as an ally. Send someone with my token to go to Shu Mansion and let Yang Xian be released to attack Fengzhou." The news of sending troops scares King Huai."

If he really wants to ask Yang Xian to send troops to help, even if he is an ally, Chen Mo will have to spend a certain amount of money and food.

But just letting Yang Xian do it with a little effort, there is no need for this.

……

late October.

Chen Mo is planning to set off to inspect Linzhou to learn about the people's livelihood and the situation of officials in various places, and plans to return before the New Year.

Xia Zhiqing was conceived in March this year. Calculating the time, it would be the end of the year at the earliest.

But just when he was about to set off with Wei Linchun.

Sun Meng came to report that Chang En came to see him.

"Master Marquis, it seems that Chang En has lived up to your trust, Master Marquis, and has really come back." Sun Meng said.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "It seems that I did not misjudge the person when I brought him to the study to see me."

"promise."

……

When he saw Chang En again, Chen Mo could clearly see his depression.

Chang's benefactor is simple and honest, and he doesn't know how to hide his emotions, which is easy to see.

Chen Mo pondered for a while and said, "Chang En, you're back. Looking at you, could it be that something happened?"

"Yes." Chang En's eyes dimmed, he raised his head and said, "Master Hou, master, master, he has passed away."

"Ah." Chen Mo was startled and said in a heavy voice: "How could this be? God is unfair. An expert like the old gentleman cannot escape the harvest of time."

"Master Hou."

Chang En suddenly knelt down in front of Chen Mo with a pop and kowtowed.

Chen Mo didn't even react to this sudden scene.

Immediately, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Chang En up and said, "Chang En, what do you mean?"

"If the Marquis hadn't reminded me to go back in time to bury my master's body to prevent it from being destroyed by insects and ants, and to have performed my last act of filial piety, I, I would really have to bear all the blame for my death.

Moreover, before I had done any meritorious deeds, the Marquis appointed me as the Prime Minister of the Divine Guards. I will never forget such a great kindness. "At this moment, Chang En really regards Chen Mo as a benefactor.

"Chang'en, you don't have to be so polite." Chen Mo asked him to sit down, and then said: "It is my honor for a strong man like Chang'en to come to me and serve me. There is no need to let go of Chang'en." In the heart."

"Master Hou, my master said, repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Lord Marquis has been kind to me, and I will continue to be kind to me in the future. I will do whatever I want."

With that said, Chang En took out a piece of yellowed paper from his arms, stood up, handed it to Chen Mo, and continued:

"I came out of the mountain, and there is nothing I can offer to repay the Marquis. This is a secret method that can temporarily enhance the power of the innate spiritual energy in the body, making the spiritual energy become thicker and more condensed, thus making one's own strength stronger. Improved in a short period of time.

I think it might be helpful to Mr. Hou, but this method is a relic left by his master to me, so I cannot give the original copy to Mr. Hou, but I can let him make a copy. "

Chang'en is not only honest, but also upright. Even if he uses secret methods to repay, he still has something to say.

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took it and looked at it a few times.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded.

[Martial Arts Lingran Xuan Gong has been detected, should it be included? 】

Chen Mo was startled, but silently thought yes.

[Lingran Xuan Gong has been included. 】

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and opened the system panel.

[Name: Chen Mo. 】

[Age: 20. 】

[Exercise method: Ziyang Huayuan Gong (Dacheng 47621.5/100000). 】

[Realm: Divine power (third level). 】

[Strength: 2434. 】

Chen Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and then he immediately returned the yellowed paper with the Ling Ran Xuan Gong written on it to Chang En, and said righteously: "Since this is what your master left you, how can I ask for it, quickly?" Take it back."

Chang En was also very honest and said: "But Master's suicide note did not say that it could not be passed on to outsiders. Moreover, I only asked Mr. Hou to make a copy of it and did not give the relics to Mr. Hou. Moreover, Mr. Hou has great respect for me. Well, if Master knows something, he won't be surprised."

"A gentleman has something to do and something not to do. After all, this secret method belongs to Master Qi's sect. Although the old gentleman did not explain it specifically, I am not from your sect after all. How can I learn it?" Chen Mo pretended to decline. road.

Hearing this, Chang En's impression of Chen Mo was even more favorable. The heroes he read in the book seemed to be in contrast at this moment, and he insisted on giving it.

Seeing this, Chen Mo no longer refused, but said: "Since it is Chang En's kindness to you, I would like to express my disrespect, but there is no need to copy it. I can just memorize it. And I would like to express my gratitude to Chang En you." Promise not to disclose it to others.”

Seeing that Chen Mo was so upright and upright, Chang En couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Chen Mo and said: "I believe in Mr. Hou."

"It's been a hard journey for Chang En. Sun Meng, take Chang En down to rest." Chen Mo said.

Sun Meng quickly walked in and said to Chang'en: "General Chang'en, please."
