Chapter 1322: The Time of the Yi Family, the First Meeting in Life
Zhou Chen walked outside the camp, and suddenly a small group of soldiers came over. When they saw Zhou Chen coming, the leader immediately walked over quickly.
"Master, why don't you take a rest? Why are you up so early?"
"I'm about to return to Xizhou. I've been away for more than half a year. Maybe I'm homesick and can't sleep."
Zhou Chen said with emotion that the young man in front of him who called him Master was his third disciple Xie Yun, and he was in charge of patrolling the camp tonight.
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xie Yun also sighed: "Yes, Master, I miss the palace too."
In fact, they followed the young King Nanchen, suppressing rebellions and fighting wars everywhere. They spent most of the year on the front line, and sometimes they might not be able to return to the King Nanchen's Palace in Xizhou for a year or two.
But even so, as Zhou Shengchen's disciples, the Nanchen Palace is their home. Especially for them who were homeless in the past and have been fighting outside for many years, their feelings for home are stronger than those of ordinary people.
"Master, we should be able to stay in Xizhou for a while longer this time when we go back."
After this great victory at the border, there are no rebellions in the country for the time being, and there is no war with Nanxiao. The only thing to pay attention to is the ethnic minorities on the border, but there are local garrisons there, and it is not necessary for the Nanchen King's army to be dispatched.
"maybe."
Zhou Chen inherited Zhou Shengchen's memory, so he is very clear about the chaos in and around Northern Chen. The current emperor is still a little emperor who is less than ten years old. The government is controlled by the Empress Dowager Qi Zhenzhen. Even though there is a great talent like Yu Guang, Yu Guang is feared and excluded by the Empress Dowager, the Prime Minister and others, which leads to chaos in the government.
There is a young emperor in the court, and a queen mother who knows nothing is ruling the country from behind the curtain. Outside, there are princes who hold military power. How can the world not be in chaos?
He asked Xie Yun to continue leading the patrol, while he himself walked back to his tent.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the tent, I saw Hong Xiaoyu and an elderly man standing outside the tent.
"military adviser."
"Your Highness."
"Master."
The old man was the military advisor of King Nanchen's army and also the mentor of the young King Nanchen. For his original self, he actually knew that the military advisor was sent by the late emperor to monitor him, but he had a clear conscience and had no intention of rebelling, so he kept Xie Chong by his side.
In addition to monitoring Zhou Shengchen, Xie Chong was actually very good to Zhou Shengchen, giving him sincere assistance and teaching, and never harmed Zhou Shengchen once. He definitely played a part in Zhou Shengchen's current achievements.
Therefore, this military advisor Xie Chong is not a bad person in essence. He is just too respectful of the imperial power and is loyal to the emperor. This is very similar to Zhou Shengchen's blind loyalty.
Military Advisor Xie Chong said, "Your Highness, the kitchen has already started cooking, and the army can set out for the return journey in an hour."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Xiao Yu, you go and take charge."
"Yes, Master."
Hong Xiaoyu immediately took the order and left.
"Military advisor, come into the tent."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhou Chen and Xie Chong walked into the tent together and sat down on a small stool nearby.
Since it is a fictional history, the appearance of mature chairs and stools is not surprising. Zhou Chen has long been accustomed to it.
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today."
"Really? How did you know that?"
Xie Chong said with a smile: "Your Highness usually has a solemn expression, but today he is smiling, obviously in a good mood."
Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Isn't it worth being happy that we won the battle?"
Xie Chong smiled and shook his head. Although the young King Nanchen was young, he had experienced many wars over the years and had won greater victories than this one. But it was rare to see him smile with such a relaxed look, as if he was not under any pressure at all.
"Your Highness, I remembered something."
"what's up?"
"It was a few years ago that Your Highness went to Zhongzhou and reached a consensus with the Yi family that the Yi family would send their daughter to Xizhou to worship Your Highness as a teacher. Now it has been more than three years, and there is still no news. I wonder if the Yi family has forgotten it?"
Hearing Xie Chong actually talking about this, Zhou Chen said: "Yi Guang is the leader of the world's literati, and he has always attached great importance to rules and etiquette. Since he has spoken, he must keep his word. The reason why it has not been delivered yet is probably because the time has not come yet."
"That's true."
Xie Chong deeply agreed. The Qinghe Yi family was one of the most powerful families in the world, and Yi Guang was the Taifu of the Northern Chen Dynasty and the chief of the literati. Others might forget about it, but he certainly wouldn't.
"Maybe when we go back this time, the Yi clan will send their daughter to Xizhou."
Zhou Chen's face changed. This person couldn't stand being nagged the most. Xie Chong's muttering made him feel that this possibility was very high.
"It's time, it should be soon."
When Zhou Chen first watched the TV series, he liked Yu Shiyi very much. This noble lady of the Yu family was kind and lovely, lively and intelligent, and her values were very positive.
The most important thing is that she can firmly believe in the male protagonist. No matter what she hears others say, she firmly stands on Zhou Shengchen's side. There are almost no misunderstandings and mutual torture between the two of them. The sadomasochism between them is more caused by the loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and family rules in the context of the times.
After breakfast, at Zhou Chen's command, the Nanchen Royal Army quickly organized and set off.
Zhou Chen has been observing all the time. From the behavior of King Nanchen's army, he knows that this is indeed an elite force. It makes sense that the young King Nanchen is invincible.
The leaders lead by example. It is precisely because King Xiao Nanchen, as the commander-in-chief, is self-disciplined enough and his military orders are as strict as a mountain that the soldiers under him can have such spirit.
"set off!"
The capital of Northern Chen was in Zhongzhou, which, in terms of geographical location, was almost the same as Luoyang in later generations. The most important city in the west of Northern Chen was Xizhou, which was also one of the important capitals of ancient dynasties.
Xizhou is also the fief of the Nanchen Palace and the most important military stronghold in the west. It is currently controlled by the Young Nanchen King Zhou Shengchen, who is also the most powerful vassal king of the Northern Chen. Almost all of the western part of the Northern Chen is commanded and guarded by the Young Nanchen King.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Xizhou and surrounding towns, the people may not know who the emperor is, but they definitely know who the young King Nanchen is.
While the Nanchen King's army was marching quickly, outside the Xizhou City, a large group of troops were slowly approaching the city gate. The momentum was so great that the people passing by unconsciously made way for them.
At the city gate, there was a group of people waiting on horseback. These people were the generals guarding Xizhou and the retainers of Prince Nanchen's Palace. The leader was the second disciple of Prince Nanchen, Zhou Tianxing.
"coming."
When the large army of the Yi clan entered the sphere of influence of the young King Nanchen, someone came at full speed to report. He also calculated the time and came here to wait.
Although the Nanchen Palace is also a vassal state, the Yu family, as the leader of the world's literati, is not much inferior to the Nanchen Palace in terms of status. Just to send their daughter to become an apprentice, they sent three thousand private soldiers for protection. Ordinary families do not have such ability.
In the plot, Emperor Liu Zixing had to compromise with the Yi family in order to consolidate his rule. This also shows the power of the Yi family and their status among the aristocratic families in the world.
Zhou Tianxing received the large army of the Yi clan at the city gate and wanted to take them to the palace, but was rejected by Yi clan's general Yishou, who took the Yi clan's people to stay temporarily at the post station.
Inside the carriage, a pretty young girl gently lifted the curtain and saw the majestic Xizhou city wall in front of her. A light flashed in her eyes.
Ever since she learned a few years ago that she would be going to Xizhou to become an apprentice, she had actually been secretly looking forward to it in her heart. Because she had lived in the Xi family since she was born, she had very few opportunities to leave the Xi family mansion. So this time, she was able to leave Qinghe and go to Xizhou. She was both excited and nervous.
Looking at the city wall, Shiyi couldn't help but think of the world-famous King Nanchen, who was about to become his master, and he was very much looking forward to it.
'Little Nanchen King, Zhou Shengchen, Master?'
Shiyi suffered from aphasia due to the trauma she experienced in her childhood. She consulted numerous doctors but to no avail. So now she still cannot speak and can only communicate using sign language.
A day later, the sky was hazy, and the Nanchen King's army was marching on the official road in an orderly manner, with flags covering the sun and a mighty momentum.
As they were about to arrive outside Xizhou City, the soldiers were obviously becoming excited, and each team was marching quickly.
Everyone in the royal army knew that His Highness would review the royal army outside the city when the sun rose in the east, so everyone was full of vigor and high morale.
Zhou Chen, dressed in black and red armor, walked with his military advisor and disciples including Hong Xiaoyu, following the main force.
There was a light snowfall in the sky. On the wall of Xizhou city, Shiyi Yi and his brother Feng Yi came to the top of the wall and saw the Nanchen King's army lined up outside the wall.
Both Ji Shiyi and Ji Feng were wearing brocade cloaks and looking down. They did not feel cold, but were full of anticipation.
Jifeng is the third son of Jiguang of the Ji clan, and is also the cousin who cares about Ji Shiyi the most. He is a few years older than Ji Shiyi, and can be described as handsome, elegant, and suave. The relationship between the two siblings is also very deep. In order to take care of Ji Shiyi, he specially came to Xizhou to join the army.
The soldiers outside the city had already formed into a square formation. Although there were a large number of them, each of them stood straight. There was no noise except the sound of the wind.
In the center of the square formation, at the front center, a temporary platform was built. Everyone was facing the direction of the platform, waiting quietly.
Obviously, this is not the first time a military parade like this has taken place.
Yifeng whispered to Yi Shiyi, "Do you see that high platform? The one who will go up to the platform soon will be your future master."
Shiyi nodded gently and looked towards the platform obediently, with anticipation flashing involuntarily in her eyes.
At this moment, there were sudden bursts of neighing sounds of horses' hooves. Feng saw a group of people approaching quickly and shouted in surprise.
"Here he comes, here he comes."
Seeing how excited he was, if you didn’t know him you would think he was the one who wanted to become his disciple.
Shiyi took a step forward, got close to the city wall, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the rapidly approaching team with nervousness and anticipation.
Zhou Chen, with a group of disciples and personal soldiers, came to the front of the square formation. He jumped off his horse, looked solemn, and walked to the platform alone.
Zhou Chen had experienced similar military parades many times in other worlds, and many of those times had even more people participating than this one, so this kind of scene naturally could not shock him.
He walked straight to the platform, turned around and looked directly at the countless soldiers in the formation, then walked to the war drum beside him, picked up the drumstick, and started beating the drum.
The original Zhou Shengchen was an invincible general on the battlefield, but Zhou Chen's current physical fitness is only stronger than his, and his strength is even stronger. Things like beating the drums are a piece of cake for him.
As Zhou Chen beat the drum rhythmically, the sound of the drum resounded throughout the heaven and earth, and all the soldiers followed the sound of the drum. They hit their shields with swords, struck the ground with their spears, and roared loudly.
"The world is a model for us to follow, and we must die for our integrity."
"The world is a model for us to follow, and we must die for our integrity."
"The world is a model for us to follow, and we must die for our integrity."
…………
The sound of drums and roars resounded through heaven and earth, shocking everyone. Standing on the city wall, both Ji Feng and Ji Shiyi were shocked by the scene before them.
Shi Yi stared at the figure beating the drum infatuatedly, his hands involuntarily placed on the city wall, his eyes blurred, completely attracted by this scene.
The grand military parade did not take very long from beginning to end, because it was soon time to open the city gates.
When Zhou Chen announced the end of the military parade, the soldiers in various formations evacuated back to the camp in an orderly manner. Zhou Chen watched everyone leave before preparing to enter the city with his personal soldiers.
The military parade just now allowed him to witness with his own eyes the military might and momentum of the Nanchen King's Army. The Nanchen King's Army was indeed extraordinary. At least the troops that came here for the parade were all elite.
Zhou Chen rode into the city on horseback. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Hong Xiaoyu, who was leading the way, riding a horse and scolding others with a nasty look.
He turned his gaze to the two men without showing any expression. In fact, he had already noticed these two people standing on the city wall during the military parade just now. Knowing the plot, he naturally guessed their identities.
The time is right and the wind is right.
To be honest, he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He had just traveled through time and space for only two days when he ran into Shi Yi from the Yu family sending Yu to Xizhou. It seems that the luck card does have some effect.
Seeing Hong Xiaoyu shouting loudly, Zhou Chen rode over.
As soon as he appeared, the gazes of Li Feng and Li Shiyi instantly shifted to him, especially Li Shiyi. Seeing Zhou Chen at such a close distance, her face unconsciously turned red.
Zhou Chen was naturally also looking at Li Shiyi. Even with his eyes that had seen countless women, the little girl in front of him still gave him a feeling of amazement.
This stunning beauty is not just about appearance. After all, Li Shiyi is still just a little girl. If we really talk about appearance, he has met many women who are more beautiful than her.
But the temperament that Lady Yi possessed was very rare, completely different from the temperament of modern women, that of a lady from a noble family.
When a man looks at a woman, the first thing he sees is definitely her appearance and figure. This is beyond doubt. But apart from appearance, beautiful women with temperament are also the ideal type that men pursue.
Many beautiful women with temperament may not be stunningly beautiful, but they give people the feeling that they are no worse than those stunning beauties, and may even be more attractive.
But after all, Shiyi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and in Zhou Chen's eyes, she was still a little girl.
Although he recognized the identities of Shiyi and the others, Zhou Chen did not intend to recognize them at this time. He just ordered Hong Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, don't scare them, let's go."
"Yes, Master."
Hong Xiaoyu responded, and when she saw Zhou Chen riding away on his horse, she quickly followed.
Li Shiyi and Li Feng were both looking at Zhou Chen's back, one of them was curious and shy, the other was admiring him.
Zhou Chen led the team back to the Nanchen Palace. He was the male protagonist as soon as he traveled through time, and he was also a prince with a large army. This time of travel should be the one with the highest starting point among his countless times of travel. Therefore, the effect of the luck card is still very good.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhou Tianxing, the second disciple who stayed in the palace, came to greet him happily.
"Congratulations, Master, on your great return."
Zhou Chen responded softly, and then said, "Go into the mansion."
The personal soldiers immediately followed him into the palace, and then the third disciple Xie Yun took them to clean up their own things. Zhou Chen brought Hong Xiaoyu and Zhou Tianxing to the main hall of the palace.
It was still snowing outside. Zhou Chen asked Zhou Tianxing knowingly, "Tianxing, have the people of Xi arrived in Xizhou?"
Zhou Tianxing said in surprise: "Master, you already know everything. I was just about to report to you. The Yan family arrived yesterday. The Qinghe Yan family is really not simple. They brought 3,000 private soldiers with them. In addition to the Yan family girl, there is also a Sanlang of the Yan family."
Hong Xiaoyu reacted: "Master, could it be that the two people at the gate just now were from the Xian family?"
