The world of film and television begins from childhood

Fortunately, there is no problem.

"You can never bring Sister Fu to the Sheng Mansion again." Hua Lan said hatefully.

Zhou Chen smiled casually and said, "Okay, whatever you say is right, but according to me, with the way Lin Xiaoniang and the others are doing, sooner or later someone will deal with them."

He didn't take Lin Sushuang and his daughter seriously. If he really wanted to deal with them, there were many ways. However, he felt that these two women were not worth his time and energy. This was why he had been too lazy to pay attention to them before. s reason.

But now that he has been caught in a trap, he certainly won't show mercy and will definitely support his wife with all his strength.

But he also knew that it was impossible to kill Lin Qinshuang in front of Sheng Hong today, but it was not that he really did nothing. When he came into contact with Lin Qinshuang and her daughter, he had already injected his limited internal strength into their bodies.

Yangzhou patients can save lives, but they can also harm people. Doctors can save lives, but they can also harm people.

In the near future, Lin Qinshuang and her daughter will suffer a torment worse than death.

Although Sheng Hong was reluctant to kill Lin Sushuang this time, Minglan would sooner or later deal with Lin Sushuang. Minglan should already know that Lin Sushuang was the culprit who killed her mother and brother, and she should have started planning It’s time to deal with Lin Sushuang.

But even though he knew it, he still had to punish Lin Qinshuang and her daughter personally, otherwise he would feel unhappy. His child, Zhou Chen, was not someone who could be bullied by anyone.

Mu Cang Zhai!

Minglan was very surprised when she heard Xiaotao and Danju vividly describing what happened in Weiruixuan.

"Is Big Sister really that powerful?"

She was shocked to learn that her elder sister Hualan had scolded Lin Qinshuang and Molan and left her father speechless, so that he had to punish Lin Qinshuang and her daughter personally.

Xiaotao and Danju both nodded repeatedly.

"The eldest lady is really amazing. She is worthy of being the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion. Even the master can't speak up in front of the eldest lady. The master wanted to teach the eldest lady a lesson, but when the Marquis came, the master didn't dare to do it. The Marquis and the eldest lady are really too majestic."

Minglan looked thoughtful, she understood that her elder sister dared to do this because she had the confidence. No matter what her elder sister did, her brother-in-law would support her. Even when facing the father of the Sheng family, her brother-in-law would definitely not hesitate.

This is the benefit of having someone backing you up. Unlike her, even if she wants to deal with Lin Qinshuang, she can only hide in the dark and rack her brains to figure it out.

She was secretly surprised. Today, both her elder sister and brother-in-law came forward, but her father still wanted to be gentle with her. Fortunately, she did not act rashly before, otherwise if she was exposed, she was not like her elder sister who had the support of her brother-in-law and the Marquis' Mansion. Not only would she not be able to take revenge, but she would hurt herself instead.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you and make Lin Qinshuang receive the punishment she deserves."

Although this incident caused quite a stir in the Sheng Mansion, under the threats and orders from Sheng Hong and Madam Wang, no one dared to spread the news, and it never left the Sheng Mansion.

Soon it was the day of Sheng Changbai's wedding. Although there was still a gap between Hualan and Sheng Hong, she naturally had to return to the Sheng Mansion to help with such a big event as her younger brother's wedding.

The marriage of Sheng Changbai and the second daughter of the Hai family went very smoothly. Zhou Chen and Hua Lan also presented generous gifts and stayed in the Sheng Mansion until the evening before leaving.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Tingye had been on the job for more than ten days. After listening to the reports from his subordinates, Zhou Chen knew that Gu Tingye was doing very well in the Dragon Guard Army. This guy knew how to behave, was willing to spend money, had abilities and skills, and was good at speaking, so it was natural that he was doing well in the army.

However, a few days later, Gu Tingye came to Zhou Chen to drink with a dejected look on his face.

"Brother, you are right. I was too naive. I thought she was with me and had children with me because she loved me. It turns out that all this was fake. She was after my identity and my money. If it weren't for your reminder, I don't know how long I would have been deceived by her."

Zhou Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he patted him on the shoulder and advised: "It's not too late to find out now, so how are you going to deal with her?"

"How to deal with it?"

Gu Tingye's face was full of confusion. "She lied to me, but she did give birth to my children. Even if I hate her, I can't really kill her for the sake of the two children. I have locked her up now, but the man she met is her brother. They had already started plotting since the first time I met them. I wanted to take down her brother, but who would have thought he was so cunning? I let him run away."

"As for my concubine, I have already decided to drive her out of Bianliang City tomorrow. She will never be allowed to come back, and I will not let her see the two children again."

Zhou Chen was not surprised. Such a result could only be attributed to Gu Tingye's lack of preparation.

"I advise you to be careful. That woman and her brother have been plotting against you for so many years. They definitely don't want to end up with nothing. They may have other means, such as kidnapping your son and daughter and then blackmailing you. After all, that woman has lived with you for several years. She should know your character very well and that you value feelings. As long as she has her children, you will definitely be controlled by her."

"She dared."

Gu Tingye slapped the table and said, "If they dare to touch Chang Ge'er and Rong Jie'er, I will kill them."

Zhou Chen said: "Listen to my brother's advice, be careful, don't regret it after something happens."

"Thank you for the reminder, brother. I will definitely pay attention to it." Gu Tingye nodded and responded.

But the very next day, Gu Tingye came to Zhou Chen in a panic.

"Brother, you were right. That bitch actually took Chang Ge'er away. I led people to search around Tokyo City, but couldn't find her whereabouts."

Zhou Chen looked at the flustered and frightened Gu Tingye and said in a deep voice: "Don't be impatient when something happens. Now that it has happened, find a way to solve it. I reminded you yesterday, but it seems you still don't take it to heart."

Gu Tingye lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, brother, everything is my fault, but the most important thing now is to find that bitch and get Chang Ge'er back. Brother, can you lend me some soldiers? Even if that bitch left Tokyo, she must not have run far. If we send people to chase her, we will definitely catch her."

"Then how many people do you want? Although I am the commander-in-chief of the cavalry army, I do not have the power to mobilize troops at will. Even if I try my best to give you a few hundred people, do you think we can find it?"

"What should I do? No, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I must find Chang Ge'er." Gu Tingye looked anxious.

Zhou Chen snorted, "If you had made up your mind earlier, this wouldn't have happened. Okay, you don't have to worry. I knew you would let your guard down, so I sent people to watch the city gates. Your mistress and her brother have been stopped and captured by my people."

Gu Tingye was shocked: "Really? Brother, did you really catch them?"

"Do I have to lie to you? It's because you call me brother. Otherwise, do you think I would mind your business?"

Zhou Chen glared at him unhappily, then shouted, "Li Xing, take him over."

Gu Tingye thanked him repeatedly, then followed Li Xing out. He came back an hour later with a little boy of two or three years old in his arms.

When he saw Zhou Chen again, he knelt down in front of Zhou Chen without saying a word and kowtowed several times.

"Brother, I will never forget your kindness. No matter what you ask me to do in the future, I, Gu Tingye, will not say no, otherwise I will die a miserable death."

"Alright, alright, I'm grateful if you can, but you're not even swearing a poisonous oath."

Zhou Chen helped Gu Tingye up and said, "Your son is right here, so you don't have to worry about losing face. Now that your son is back, that's the best. How did you deal with your mistress and her brother?"

Gu Tingye's face was furious. "I will send the man to prison and banish him 3,000 miles away. As for Zhu Manniang, I will break her legs and send her to a manor outside the city. Someone will keep an eye on her and she will not be allowed to leave the manor for the rest of her life."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen patted him hard.

"This is the right thing to do. I know you have a kind heart, but your kindness must be used in the right place. Being kind to certain people will only harm others and yourself."

"I understand your teachings, brother. I will think carefully before doing anything in the future."

"I'll give you a few days off and arrange these things properly."

"Thank you, brother."

Gu Tingye did not lose his son as in the plot, and Zhu Manniang also ended up like this. Gu Tingye's experience naturally underwent earth-shaking changes, which can be regarded as a complete change.

On this day, Zhou Chen was suddenly called by the emperor, who talked to him in the Chuigong Hall for a long time before letting him leave.

On the way back, Zhou Chen frowned slightly. The government called him over today because there was indeed a very important matter. The government was going to let him lead the army to quell the rebellion.

The rebellion in the south became more and more serious, and the rebel who called himself Emperor Zhaode was growing in strength, causing chaos and misery in many parts of the south.

The imperial court could no longer tolerate this and had discussed the issue many times, but the local troops could not be eliminated. The court had no choice but to send out the imperial guards, but the candidate to lead the army had not been decided. Unexpectedly, the emperor would let him lead the army in the end.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1137: Gu Tingye gets engaged, the plot changes dramatically

After several years of leisure, Zhou Chen had not expected that he would suddenly have to lead troops into battle, and to quell a rebellion.

He also knew something about this rebel leader who proclaimed himself "Emperor Zhaode". He was the leader of the uprising army in the southern area and was considered a relatively powerful rebel in the Song Dynasty.

In fact, in the official history, there was also an Emperor Zhaode during the reign of Song Renzong, whose name was Nong Zhigao.

In fact, Emperor Zhaode was not an ambitious and righteous leader of the rebel army. After he rose up against the Song Dynasty, he wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but he did not get the consent and had to continue to oppose the Song Dynasty.

But in the official history, this Emperor Zhaode was already wiped out and killed by Prime Minister Di.

The world of "The Story of Minglan" is a fictional world after all, so although the leader of the Nung bandits, Emperor Zhaode, was wiped out by Di Qing once, Nong Zhigao did not die. In recent years, he made a comeback and started to stir up trouble again, raising an army to rebel against the Song Dynasty, and his momentum was not small. Many places in the south were persecuted by the Nung bandits.

The imperial court and the government could no longer tolerate this, so they sent him to lead troops to suppress the bandits.

There are many military generals and nobles in the imperial court nowadays, but there are not many who can lead troops to fight alone and have experience. Zhou Chen is a rare general who has the opportunity to fight on behalf of the emperor. He is also the Marquis of Zhongjing and has enough experience in leading troops alone, so the emperor let him be the commander-in-chief of this rebellion.

However, the emperor only told him in advance that the official imperial edict had not yet been issued, and even if he wanted to go south to quell the rebellion, he would not go immediately.

Both pre-war preparations and the dispatch of troops take time. With the efficiency of the Song Dynasty, it would be almost impossible for a large army to be dispatched without half a month or more.

When Zhou Chen went back and told Hualan that he would lead the army to quell the rebellion, Hualan became nervous.

"Is it dangerous?"

For Hualan, what she cares about most is not whether Zhou Chen can achieve meritorious service, but the worry that Zhou Chen will be in danger.

Zhou Chen stroked her smooth cheek and said softly, "They are just a bunch of insignificant rebels. I can even defeat the Xixia army. It is naturally not dangerous to deal with these rabble. Madam, you really don't have to worry."

He really did not take Emperor Zhaode's Nung bandits seriously. Compared with the well-equipped Xixia elite, most of the Nung bandits' soldiers were peasants who could not make a living, as well as some lawless criminals, bandits and the like.

The commotion these people have made seems quite big, but it is entirely due to internal problems in the Song Dynasty. The local army is really too weak, which makes them even more arrogant.

Zhou Chen had led troops in battles for many years and had once been an emperor, so he was very clear about the problems of the Song Dynasty. Although there were an army of over one million, in reality, an actual number of eight or nine hundred thousand would be considered a lot, and the number of troops that were truly capable of fighting was estimated to be much less.

These capable troops were either stationed at the border or guarding the capital area. The combat effectiveness of the local troops was estimated to be not much stronger than that of the peasant army armed with sickles and hoes.

If it were a strong imperial court, there would be no way such a rebel would be allowed to survive for more than ten years and he would have been destroyed long ago.

But in the Song Dynasty, all this is not surprising. Looking at the rebels in the history of the Song Dynasty, the Liangshan group in the Water Margin could make trouble for so long, you can imagine how cowardly the Song Dynasty was.

Zhou Chen felt that sending himself to deal with such a traitor would be like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, a waste of talent.

Hua Lan held Zhou Chen's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "But I'm still worried."

Zhou Chen kissed her forehead gently and whispered to comfort her: "Your husband is a ferocious killer in the eyes of the Xixia people. It is not easy for a killer like me to wipe out those rebels. What's more, I am the commander-in-chief this time, so I basically don't have to kill the enemy myself, so you don't have to worry."

"really?"

"of course."

Zhou Chen gave an affirmative answer, and Hua Lan's expression relaxed.

"Sir, I know that this may be a burden to you, but when I think about you going to the battlefield, I really can't control my wild thoughts."

"It doesn't matter. This shows that you love me very much. If you didn't love me, why would you worry like this? I'm so happy for you, so why would I feel burdened? Don't let your imagination run wild. Just stay at home and wait for me to return triumphantly."

Hua Lan leaned on Zhou Chen's chest, listened to Zhou Chen's heartbeat, and said with peace of mind: "Well, I will wait for the master to return safely."

Suddenly he picked up Princess Hualan.

"I don't know when I will leave, but once I leave, I won't be able to see you for at least a few months. Before that, please let me take good care of you."

"Oh, no, no, it's still daytime."

"It's more interesting during the day."

"I, sir, well..."

Cuichan outside the door had a ruddy face. She quickly dispersed the people in the yard and prevented anyone from approaching, while she guarded the door.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was opened. Cuichan had just enough time to call out "My Lord" before she was picked up by Zhou Chen.

"Your Lord is very fair and will not forget you."

"Master Hou..."

Cuichan's body softened instantly. What she loved most was the Marquis's dominance. Under Zhou Chen's training, she had made rapid progress...

In the past two or three days, Hualan and Cuichan looked very happy, so moist and hydrated that they seemed to be dripping with water. Zhou Chen was also very energetic. With their separation imminent, this master and servant pair really served him wholeheartedly, bringing him great happiness and enjoyment.

But he didn't know that in just these two or three days, Hua Lan became more determined to take a concubine for Zhou Chen. Otherwise, if it went on like this every day, she wouldn't be able to bear it even with Cui Chan's help.

During these few days, the emperor officially issued an edict, appointing Zhou Chen, Marquis of Zhongjing, as the commander-in-chief of the army heading south to quell the rebellion, and did not assign him any civilian officials to supervise the army, which was quite rare.

However, he only led the Left Wing Dragon Guard Army, with a number of no more than 10,000. Apart from that, he could mobilize local wing troops based on his imperial decree, and the local wing troops had to cooperate.

As one of the four most elite armies of the Song Dynasty, the Dragon Guard Army’s combat effectiveness is another matter, but its weapons and equipment are all well-equipped, so even if there are only 10,000 people, it is enough for Zhou Chen.

The Dragon Guards were all very excited. After all, there were very few opportunities to achieve success in the Imperial Guards. This trip south to quell the rebellion was a good opportunity to do so.

So except for a small number of people who are afraid of death and have connections, most people are very much looking forward to it. After all, this time their commander is the invincible Marquis Zhongjing.

Zhou Chen was quite speechless about the rumors that he was invincible that were circulating among the Dragon Guards. He had only stayed in the border for a few years in total and participated in very few major battles. Although he had never been defeated, it was indeed an exaggeration to say that he was invincible.

But he didn't say anything. The morale of the entire army was high, which was a good thing.

Now the entire army is cooperating with the Ministry of Revenue and other departments of the court to raise supplies of food and fodder, etc., and is expected to set out in half a month.

Zhou Chen was helpless. It would take a month for the army to set out, and the efficiency was too low. If an emergency war occurred, it would directly delay the opportunity to fight.

But he also knew that this kind of thing was beyond his control and he could only cooperate silently.

"What, you're getting married?"

When Zhou Chen heard what Gu Tingye said, he was stunned. He had already made up his mind to take Gu Tingye with him when he went on the expedition and train him well.

But just as he was about to set off, Gu Tingye actually found him and said that he was going to get married. This shocked him greatly. He was very curious about who Gu Tingye was going to marry, but it definitely couldn't be Minglan.

"Who are you going to marry? Is it the eldest daughter of the Yu family?"
