The world of film and television begins from childhood

There might be nothing wrong with Sheng Molan's plan for herself, after all, if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. But even if she wants to fight, she will not be so annoying if she fights openly. Her behavior will be looked down upon even in modern society, let alone in an era with strict rules like the Song Dynasty.

After getting rid of Lin Qinshuang and her daughter, Wang Ruofu was truly satisfied and elated.

"It's finally sunny today."

………………

"My Lord, Commander Gu and Commander Chen sent someone to deliver a message saying that they have joined forces with the local Xiang army and are doing their best to wipe out the rebels. However, most of the rebels have fled to the mountains and forests, making it difficult to wipe them all out."

Zhou Chen received messages from Gu Tingye and another commander Chen. He knew that these two men were both capable of leading troops and were wise. It would not be a problem for them to deal with the motley crowd of rebels, so he divided his troops into three groups.

He took out the map and determined that he was in the Jiangnan East Route. Along the way, he did destroy many small rebel groups, but still had no idea about the whereabouts of Emperor Zhaode.

Zhou Chen had experienced hundreds of battles, but Nong Zhigao was really good at hiding. They had wiped out most of the rebels along the way, and most of the southern area had been pacified. The only ones left were just small groups of rebels. In the end, they couldn't find any trace of this guy. No matter how cowardly he was, he couldn't hide.

Two days later, the scouts who were sent out to explore suddenly came running to report.

"My Lord, we have discovered that a group of rebels are heading towards Jiangzhe Road."

"Jiangzhe Road?"

Zhou Chen frowned and couldn't help but think of one thing. Youyang is in that area, and the old lady and Minglan are in Youyang now.

I remember in the plot of "The Story of Minglan", Youyang was looted by rebels on the day of the funeral of the old lady of the Sheng family. Could it be the Nung rebels?

Now even if Gu Tingye had wings, it would be impossible for him to go to Youyang to rescue, so considering the comfort of the old lady and Minglan, Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Let's go to Jiangzhe Road."

"Yes."

At Zhou Chen's order, the Dragon Guards immediately headed towards Jiangzhe Road.

Old Madam Sheng and Minglan and their party had already arrived at the home of the eldest branch of the Sheng family in Youyang.

Talking about this trip, it was indeed thrilling. They actually encountered an attack by water bandits. Fortunately, the dozen or so elite guards arranged by Hualan showed super strong combat power even when facing more than twice as many water bandits. They blocked the water bandits without any casualties. Then the people from the Cao Gang came to support in time and defeated the water bandits.

The old lady also learned from the people of the Cao Gang that all this was arranged by her nephew and grandson, and she felt extremely fortunate.

After this incident, she finally understood why her granddaughter Hualan was so worried when she learned that she was going to Youyang. Although she did not encounter any bandit troops, these pirates were indeed very arrogant.

They arrived in Youyang safely and witnessed Sheng Changwu's marriage. Minglan helped Sheng Shulan escape from the sea of ​​suffering and their divorce was successful.

But because of this, the old lady, who was already in poor health, fulfilled her wish, breathed her last, and passed away.

The two old ladies in the Sheng family really shared the same suffering. They were both persecuted by men who favored concubines over their wives, and had unhappy lives. Only after the two old men Sheng passed away did they begin to live a good life.

Now, the old lady has fulfilled her wish, and she felt relieved. Although she died with hatred in the end, her hatred was only directed at the old man Sheng, the first wife, who favored his concubine and neglected his wife.

The south is now covered with ice and snow, but the Sheng family, as a wealthy family in Youyang, still holds a very large funeral procession, with a team of more than a hundred people stretching for a mile or two.

Due to weather reasons, the elderly Mrs. Sheng did not follow the funeral procession, but stayed in the Sheng Mansion. The rest of the young people in the Sheng Mansion all went with the funeral, including Minglan who came from afar.

The funeral procession went smoothly from the time it set out from Sheng Mansion to the time it left the city. However, just as they reached the open mountains outside the city, an accident occurred.

I saw a group of armed bandits rushing out, killing the funeral procession and starting to snatch the funeral objects. The funeral procession was dispersed in an instant.

These bandits really have no bottom line, they even robbed funeral processions.

Although there were many young and strong guards and servants in the team, they were no match for these bandits. They fought desperately but were still no match for the bandits, and there were casualties as a result of the resistance.

But what is really frightening is that this group of bandits not only robbed burial objects, but also robbed the female relatives. When they saw the female relatives, they rushed over excitedly and robbed them without saying a word.

Minglan and other sisters who were sitting in the carriage were all scared to death when they saw this scene. They supported each other, rushed out of the carriage and ran away. In the chaos, several women were separated and fled in all directions.

At this critical moment, a group of soldiers suddenly swept in, led by Zhou Chen holding a Fang Tian Huaji.

When Zhou Chen saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened and he shouted, "Kill."

In an instant, the two hundred cavalrymen behind him rushed towards the looting bandits like a whirlwind.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 1140 Sheng Shulan, Run Minglan

Those who looted the funeral procession were just a group of rabble, how could they be compared with the elite troops brought by Zhou Chen.

Under the charge of the cavalry led by Zhou Chen, they fled in all directions in an instant, but the cavalry, following Zhou Chen's orders, acted ruthlessly and killed any bandits they saw.

Zhou Chen swung his halberd to knock the thief in front of him away, and drove his horse towards the funeral procession.

"uncle!"

Sheng Wei patted his chest in fear. He had just tried his best to stop the thieves from attacking the coffin and was hit several times. Although he was not injured, he was also very scared.

Suddenly, he saw a knight on horseback coming towards him, and the knight actually called him uncle. He was very surprised. After taking a closer look, he was immediately shocked.

"Are you Zhou, Zhou Hou?"

He originally wanted to call him Zhou Chen, but suddenly realized that Zhou Chen's current identity had changed, so he hurriedly changed his words to Zhou Hou.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle, you can just call me Shuyuan. I was suppressing a rebellion in the south and heard that the rebels had fled to the vicinity of Youyang, so I led my troops here. I didn't expect to come here by such a coincidence. Uncle, where is my grandmother?"

Sheng Wei quickly replied: "It was freezing cold, so I didn't let the old lady follow."

Just then, the women of the Sheng family ran over.

"Dad, my sister and Minglan got separated."

Sheng Wei was shocked and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Where are your sister and Minglan?"

The person who came to report was Sheng Wei's youngest daughter, Sheng Pinlan, whose face was filled with panic.

"Just now, the thieves rushed over to arrest people. My elder sister, sixth sister and I were hiding from the thieves, but we were separated. I ran after them, and when I turned around, I couldn't see my elder sister and Minglan. Dad, they were not captured by the thieves, were they?"

Sheng Wei's face was full of anxiety. One was his biological daughter, and the other was his cousin's daughter. He would not be able to accept if anything happened to either of them.

In a hurry, he could only look at Zhou Chen.

"My Lord, can you ask your soldiers to look for Shulan and Minglan?"

Zhou Chen did not hesitate at all and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, don't worry, I will go after him myself."

After saying that, he turned his horse around, glanced at the chaotic battlefield, and quickly chased in one direction.

After Zhou Chen left, Sheng Pinlan finally woke up from her dream and asked Sheng Wei, "Dad, was that Sister Hualan's husband, the Marquis?"

She had gone to Tokyo to attend the wedding of Zhou Chen and Hua Lan and had met Zhou Chen twice. But she was still young at that time and her impression of Zhou Chen was not particularly deep. She only remembered him roughly.

Sheng Wei nodded and said, "Yes, that is your sister Hualan's husband, Lord Zhou, the Marquis of Zhongjing. You must be respectful when you see him later."

Although Sheng Pinlan had an eccentric personality, she nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Zhou Chen was a marquis, and a very important figure to Youyang.

"I know, Daddy. Since it is the Marquis's brother-in-law who is here, he will definitely be able to rescue Sister and Minglan."

Zhou Chen rode his horse at full speed, and soon he saw several thieves chasing a woman in mourning clothes. They were all wearing the same mourning clothes, and it was hard to tell who was who, but as long as they were from the Sheng Mansion, he would definitely save them.

So he quickly caught up with them, wielding the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, and the three thieves didn't even have a chance to fight back before he killed them directly.

The woman running in front obviously didn't notice the situation behind her and kept running. Zhou Chen could only catch up with her on horseback and block her in front.

"what!"

After a scream, Zhou Chen said helplessly: "Stop screaming, I'm here to save you. You should be Shulan from my uncle's family, right?"

"what?"

When Sheng Shulan heard Zhou Chen calling her name, she stopped screaming, raised her head and looked up at Zhou Chen.

"You, you are Zhou..."

"Yes, I'm Zhou Chen. Why are you here alone? Where is Sixth Sister?"

Zhou Chen didn't tell her much, but asked about Minglan's whereabouts.

Sheng Shulan said hurriedly: "She got separated from me, and I don't know where she went, probably in that direction."

Zhou Chen frowned slightly. They were really all running away.

"You go back first..."

He was just about to ask Sheng Shulan to go back to the funeral procession first, but when he saw that she had already run so far, he frowned.

"I'm going to rescue Sixth Sister. Do you want to wait here for my people to come and take you away, or come with me?"

"Let's go together, let's go together."

How could Sheng Shulan dare to stay? What if Zhou Chen left and more thieves came? Wouldn't that be even more unlucky? So she answered without hesitation.

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and said, "There is only one horse. Are you sure you want to ride it?"

Sheng Shulan hesitated for just a moment and then nodded.

Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and directly picked her up and placed her behind him.

"Hold on."

"drive."

Sheng Shulan held onto Zhou Chen's armor tightly, using all her strength, fearing that she would be thrown off.

Following the approximate direction pointed by Sheng Shulan, Zhou Chen quickly chased after her and came to a high place. He soon saw a figure in mourning clothes running.

"drive!"

Minglan ran all the way, thinking that as long as she ran fast, the thieves would not be able to catch up.

But she didn't realize that the thief who was chasing her had disappeared long ago, leaving her alone running.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. She was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she ran faster.

Zhou Chen found it funny when he saw the figure in front of him suddenly speed up. He had already recognized that this person was Sheng Minglan, whom he was looking for.

"Hey, hey, why are you running so fast?"

Minglan looked surprised as she ran, and thought to herself, why does this thief's voice sound so much like my brother-in-law's?

But it was only a moment of hesitation, and then he ran even faster.

Zhou Chen's horse had slowed down. Looking at Minglan running in front of him, he slowed down even more. He followed behind Minglan at a leisurely pace, watching her with a smile.

Sheng Shulan, who was standing behind them, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Minglan, Minglan, don't run away. We are saved. Don't run away anymore."

When Minglan heard Sheng Shulan's voice, she was suddenly alert and slowed down involuntarily. She ran forward a few steps and finally stopped.

She turned around breathlessly and saw a general holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji, riding a horse and looking at her majestically.

She recognized Zhou Chen at a glance.

"Brother-in-law?"

She really couldn't believe her eyes and thought she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes hard and looked again.

"It's really you, brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen looked at her with a smile and said, "I was suppressing a rebellion in the south. Yuyang also belongs to the south. I just happened to come here to chase the enemy. But you, I never noticed that your short legs can run quite fast."

Minglan's face, which was already red from running, became even redder, and she glared at Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction.

What do you mean by short legs? Are you saying she is short in a roundabout way?

Sheng Shulan, who was behind Zhou Chen, showed her face and shouted excitedly, "Minglan, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Sister Shulan, why are you with my brother-in-law?" Minglan looked shocked.

Sheng Shulan was afraid of falling off the horse, so she didn't dare to let go of Zhou Chen.

"It was Lord Zhou who saved me just now."

Zhou Chen jumped off the horse, let Sheng Shulan sit firmly, and then said to Minglan: "Uncle and the others are very worried about you, let's go back first, Sixth sister, you get on the horse and take her with you, I will follow you."

Minglan said, "How can that be possible, brother-in-law? You should take Sister Shulan on horseback, and I can walk on my own."

Sheng Shulan said hurriedly: "I can walk by myself, no need to ride a horse."

Zhou Chen said without letting anyone refuse: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get on the horse, you two girls, I'm faster than you, hurry up."

"Ok."

Minglan didn't dare to refute Zhou Chen, so she could only nod in agreement, then carefully got on the horse. She could even play polo well, so riding a horse naturally had no problem at all.

The two men rode horses, and Zhou Chen walked behind, but after a while, several cavalrymen came over and gave Zhou Chen a horse, and the group soon joined the funeral procession.

After handing Sheng Shulan and Sheng Minglan over to Sheng Wei and others, Zhou Chen got on the horse again.

"Uncle, I still have military duties to attend to. Now that the rebels have entered Youyang, I will lead the army to wipe them out. There is no need to delay any longer. Uncle, please tell my grandmother that I will go to the Sheng Mansion to pay my respects to her after I have suppressed the rebels."
