Chapter 644 Goodbye Su Zhengchen (1)

In the Southwest War, if it wasn't for Wang Chong, the Annan Protectorate Army would have been completely annihilated, the entire Annan Protectorate Mansion would have been dismantled and disappeared, and the foundation of Zhangchou Jianqiong's foothold in the court would have been wiped out.

More than that, when the Southwest was occupied by Mengwu, he was the main person in charge of the Southwest. Even though he has already entered the court, became Minister of the Ministry of War, and is no longer in charge of the Annan Protectorate, but with such a big responsibility, what awaits him is still to be dismissed from office.

It is even possible to be implicated, arrested and sent to prison.

The entire Southwest is occupied, such a big matter is not something that a petty official can handle!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Wang Chong has been kind to him and the entire Annan Protectorate Army.

"My lord, Zhang Chou has already prepared a banquet in the mansion, can you invite your lord to go with me, so that Zhang Chou can clean up the dust for you?"

Zhangchou Jianqiong said this very humbly and politely.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War, a first-rank official in the imperial court, would put his posture so low and respectful on a teenage boy. As long as they knew about Wang Chong's Taotian kung fu in the southwest, everyone didn't think it was too much.

"Okay! Then I will trouble you to lead the way!"

Wang Chong smiled, and without hesitation, he readily agreed. Zhangchou Jianqiong is the minister of the Ministry of War, and he went out of the city gate to greet him in person, his intentions and etiquette were extremely extreme, no matter what, he should not be rejected.

"Siling, Hongying, Huang Qian'er, and everyone else, you should go back first. Master Zhangchou and I will go to the Shangshu Mansion."

"Yes, son!"

Bai Siling, Zhao Hongying, Huang Qian'er and others all nodded yes.

"Young master, just go. Then we will come to invite you next time."

Even Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi stepped aside at this time. The Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Great Tang Empire is in charge of the mobilization of all soldiers and horses in the world. Although the establishment of the Great Tang Dynasty is not entirely up to him, he is undoubtedly a real figure with real power.

People of this level, the heads of the Guo family and the Chai family might be able to say a few words when they appear, but Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi are not qualified.

"Master Chong, please!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong stood beside the carriage, opened the door respectfully, and invited Wang Chong up.

From all directions, everyone looked envious when they saw it, even Guo Feng and Chai Zhiyi were like this.

To be able to let the Imperial Tiger of the Tang Dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of War, stand by the carriage and open the door for him personally. With such treatment, Wang Chong is probably the only one among the young people in the entire capital.

This is the treatment that not even many noble families, including princes and generals, can get!

Rumble, the carriage started, drove all the way into the city gate, and headed towards the Ministry of War Shangshu's Mansion. Wherever the carriage passed, the people in the capital who had already received the news burst into cheers.

"Wang Chong! Wang Chong! Wang Chong!"

"Wang Chong! Wang Chong! Wang Chong!"

"Wang Chong! Wang Chong! Wang Chong!"

...

From the beginning of the new year to the present, the entire capital has never been so lively. Countless people gathered on both sides of the street excitedly, their faces flushed with cheers, and their voices shook the sky. The sound of fireworks and firecrackers reached its peak at this moment.

In the history of the Tang Dynasty, since King Zhongsi, the war god of the Tang Dynasty, broke through Uzang in Longxi and conquered the plateau in the 23rd year, no one has ever received such spontaneous and warm welcome from the people of the capital.

It's all about welcoming a hero!

"Young Master Chong, after this battle, the Wang family will enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth!"

Zhangchou Jianqiong gently pushed the window, looked at the crowds of people waiting outside, and quickly shrank back:

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites is already discussing your reward issue, and the imperial court is already discussing your reward issue. As long as there is a result, His Majesty will call you into the palace immediately and officially award you. The battle in the southwest, son Once you have made great achievements in the battle, you will surely rise to prominence from now on, and your future is limitless!"

When Zhangchou Jianqiong said this, his demeanor and voice were extremely humble, without the slightest hint of jealousy.

The current Wang Chong doesn't have half an official position, not even a minor official, let alone anyone else. But the entire capital is top-notch, as long as everyone knows about it, based on his contribution to dissipating his wealth, recruiting his subordinates, and defeating Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, and Duan Gequan in the southwest, his future will be guaranteed. Limited.

Even in the capital, the "Eighth General of the Tang Dynasty" has already been rumored in private!

In terms of strength alone, even Zhangchou Jianqiong now has to admit that Wang Chong's attainments in the art of war have reached the point where he is shoulder to shoulder with the world's top generals, on an equal footing, or even surpassed.

With such an achievement at the age of seventeen, even Zhangchou Jianqiong dare not speculate on what he will achieve in the future.

This is also another deep-seated reason why Zhangchou Jianqiong went out to greet him personally, and was so humble in front of Wang Chong.

However, at this moment, Wang Chong didn't know that Zhangchou Jianqiong had so many thoughts.

"My lord, you are welcome."

Wang Chong bowed back, not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat.

The carriage rumbled, and soon drove into Zhangchou Jianqiong's Shangshu mansion.

Zhangchou Jianqiong prepared this feast for Wang Chong to wash away the wind and dust. The banquet was magnificent and grand, including grapes from the Western Regions, guavas, dates, bananas, pineapples, and coconuts from the Koguryo Empire. Sea cucumbers, sea urchins, Shark fins, giant whales caught overseas..., all kinds of exotic fruits, delicacies, everything you expect to find.

Between drinking and drinking, there are beautiful and charming dancers from the Western Regions, Dashi, and Tiaozhi to add to the fun, and the atmosphere is extremely fragrant.

This clean-up banquet lasted from day to night, during the banquet Zhangchou Jianqiong toasted non-stop, it was as if Wang Chong was drunk and would not return, and stayed overnight in the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War.

"Young Master Chong, for matters in the Southwest, I will not thank you for your kindness. In the future, if there is anything you can use in the capital, feel free to speak up! Zhangchou will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

When the wine was full, Zhangchou Jianqiong suddenly raised the bronze restaurant, sat upright, and said solemnly.

Since entering the capital, it was the first time Zhangchou Jianqiong showed such a serious and solemn expression.

"Haha, thank you sir, cheers!"

Wang Chong looked at Zhangchou Jianqiong in a daze, and suddenly understood something. He raised his wine glass and bumped it heavily with Zhangchou Jianqiong's.

"Congratulations to the host, you have won the 'Great General's Appreciation' (one)! Reward 50 Destiny Energy Points! Increase the potential of the host by 1."

Suddenly, a voice sounded in my mind.

"Um?"

Hearing the voice of the Stone of Destiny, a look of surprise flashed in Wang Chong's eyes. This was the first time he knew that there was actually a kind of reward called "General's Appreciation".

There are only a handful of generals in the world, and it is not easy to win their appreciation.

During the Jiedushi incident, Zhangchou Jianqiong also wrote a letter to support him, but at that time Wang Chong did not receive any appreciation from the general.

On the contrary, it was now that they had a drink in Zhangchou Jianqiong's mansion of the Ministry of War, and received the "General's Appreciation" as prompted by the Stone of Destiny.

"interesting."

Wang Chong listened to the voice in his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With the Destiny Energy Points he has obtained now, fifty Destiny Energy Points are nothing. On the contrary, it said "increase the host's potential 1" that aroused Wang Chong's interest.

"I don't know what is the use of this host potential 1?"

It has been more than a year since Wang Chong obtained the Stone of Destiny, and he has never seen such a strange reward, nor does he know what the potential is for.

However, although he couldn't feel the obvious improvement of his own strength, Wang Chong could still judge that this should be a reward for indirectly improving the strength of the warrior.

It was already very late when he came out of Zhangchou Jianqiong's mansion. Li Siye was waiting outside the door of Shangshu Mansion.

"My son, what's the matter?"

Seeing Wang Chong walking out, Li Siye hurriedly greeted him with a concerned face. At the same time, a fox fur cloak was thrown over.

"No need."

Wang Chong smiled, and pushed away the fox fur cloak that Li Siye had draped over.

He was still drunk when he first came out of the gate, and his footsteps were sloppy, but his eyes blinked, and his whole spirit changed completely. All the alcohol smell was turned into white steam by him, and he forced it out from the top of his head.

The current Wang Chong is still a little bit drunk.

With the improvement of martial arts, Wang Chong can use more and more methods, and forcing the alcohol out of his body is just a trivial skill.

"You go back to the mansion first, don't wait for me, I will go back by myself in a while."

Wang Chong said.

"But, son..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, Siye. You saw what I did in the Southwest War. Do you think anyone can hurt me now?"

Wang Chong smiled faintly, and glanced at Li Siye.

Li Siye hesitated for a moment. Although he was still a little worried, he felt the volcanic power in Wang Chong's body that could erupt at any time, and he was immediately speechless.

"Yes, my son."

Li Siye turned around, and the mountain-like figure quickly disappeared into the night.

"Let's go to the west of the city."

Wang Chong boarded a bronze carriage sent by the family not far away and parked on the street, sat quietly in the carriage, and then took out a white chess piece in his sleeve.

This is a very ordinary chess piece, but Wang Chong has felt the energy beating inside the chess piece from the very beginning. Looking at the capital, there is only one person who can make such a change in the white pieces in his hand.

"senior……"

Wang Chong raised his head and looked ahead, with a complex look in his eyes.

"Just stop here, and you don't have to worry about it for the rest of the time."

A while later, at a place not far from the ghost locust area, Wang Chong stopped the carriage, told the driver a few words, and then got out of the carriage.

"It's been a long time since I came here."

Wang Chong exhaled, looking at the city walls, buildings, tree shadows, and the thick night in the night, he felt a feeling of being close to home.

Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid I haven't been here for more than half a year. For Wang Chong, this place represents a person who has a special meaning in this Tang Dynasty.

"call!"

Wang Chong flicked his long sleeves, and strode towards the square in the ghost locust area. In the past, the square was bustling with crowds, but now it is completely quiet, there is no one, and it is terrifyingly quiet in all directions.

Wang Chong walked towards the place in his memory, and turned a corner. In the distance, Wang Chong saw a huge tree shadow. In the night, it was like an ancient giant beast, baring its teeth and claws, ferocious and terrifying.

Under the shadow of the tree, an orange light was dimly lit. In the light and shadow, an old man and a young man were sitting, bowing their bodies slightly, and a chessboard was placed in front of them.

There are no pieces on the board, but two full chess jars are placed on both sides.

The old man sat there with the child, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
