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 approaching, the leader immediately walked over quickly.

"Master, why don't you rest and get up so early?"

"I'm going back to Xizhou soon. It's been more than half a year since I left. Maybe I'm shy about being close to home, so I can't sleep."

Zhou Chen said with emotion on his face, the young man in front of him who called him master is his third disciple Xie Yun, and he will be in charge of patrolling the camp tonight.

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Xie Yun also sighed: "Yes, Master, I miss the palace very much too."

In fact, they followed King Xiao Nanchen to suppress rebellions and fight everywhere. They spent most of the year on the front lines and borders, and sometimes they might not be able to return to King Nanchen's palace in Xizhou for a year or two.

But even so, as Zhou Shengchen's disciples, Nanchen Palace is their home. Especially for those of them who have been homeless in the past and have been fighting all year round, they have a stronger feeling for home than ordinary people.

"Master, when we go back this time, we should be able to stay in Xizhou for a while."

After the great victory at the border, there is no rebellion in the country for the time being, and there is no war with Nanxiao. The only thing to pay attention to is the foreign races on the border, but there are local garrison troops there, and it does not necessarily require the Nanchen King's army to be dispatched.

"maybe."

Zhou Chen inherited Zhou Shengchen's memory, so he was very aware of the chaos in and around Beichen. The current emperor was still a little emperor less than ten years old, and the government was controlled by the Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen. Even though there was a great talent like Piao Guang, However, Piao Guang was feared and excluded by the Queen Mother, the Prime Minister and others, which led to chaos in the court.

Inside the court there is a little emperor, and there is an ignorant queen mother who listens to the government behind the curtain. Outside there are princes and kings with military power. How can the world not be in chaos?

He asked Xie Yun to continue leading the inspection, while he walked back to his tent.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the camp, he saw Hong Xiaoyu and an elderly man standing outside the camp.

"military adviser."

"Your Highness."

"Master."

The old man was the military advisor of King Nanchen's army and the mentor of King Xiao Nanchen. For the original person, 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 treating him as Xie Chong stayed with him.

In addition to monitoring Zhou Shengchen, Xie Chong was actually very good to Zhou Shengchen. He gave sincere assistance and guidance and never harmed Zhou Shengchen once. He definitely took part of the credit for Zhou Shengchen's current achievements.

Therefore, the military advisor Xie Chong was not a bad person in essence, but he was too reverent of the imperial power and loyal to the emperor wholeheartedly. This was also very similar to Zhou Shengchen's foolish loyalty.

Military advisor Xie Chong said: "Your Highness, the kitchen has started cooking, and the army will be ready to return in an hour."

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Xiaoyu, take charge."

"Yes, Master."

Hong Xiaoyu immediately took the order and left.

"Military advisor, come in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhou Chen and Xie Chong walked into the camp together and sat down on a small stool nearby.

Because it is an imaginary history, it is not surprising that mature chairs and stools appear. Zhou Chen has long been used to it.

"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood today."

"Really? Where did you see it?"

Xie Chong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness usually has a solemn expression, but today he is smiling. He is obviously in a good mood."

Zhou Chen chuckled: "Isn't it worth being happy after winning the battle?"

Xie Chong shook his head with a smile. Although King Xiao Nanchen is young, he has experienced a lot of wars over the years, and there are many victories greater than this victory. However, it is rare to see him smile so relaxedly. , as if there was no pressure at all.

"Your Highness, I remembered something."

"What's up?"

"His Highness went to Zhongzhou a few years ago and reached an agreement with the Tao family. The Tao family would send their noble daughter to Xizhou to become his disciple. Now if you think about it, it has been more than three years. There is still no news. Mister Ming, will you forget it?"

Hearing that Xie Chong actually mentioned this matter, Zhou Chen said: "Zhang Guang is the leader of literati in the world, and he has always attached the most importance to rules and etiquette. Since he has spoken out, he will definitely do what he says. The reason why he has not yet It’s probably not time to send it.”

"That's true."

Xie Chongshen thought so. The Qinghe family was one of the most powerful families in the world, and Cao Guang was the Taifu of the Northern Chen Dynasty. He was the leader of literati. Others may forget it, but he certainly will not.

"Maybe when we go back this time, the Tiao family will send their noble daughter to Xizhou."

Zhou Chen's expression changed. What this person couldn't bear the most was talking about things. Xie Chong's muttering made him think that this possibility was extremely high.

‘漼Shiyi, it should be soon. ’

When Zhou Chen first watched the TV series, he liked Miao Shiyi. This noble daughter of the Miao family was kind and lovely, lively and intelligent, and had very upright views.

The most important thing is that she can unswervingly believe in the male protagonist. No matter what others say, she always stands firmly on Zhou Shengchen's side. There is almost no misunderstanding and mutual torture between the two. Sadomasochism is more caused by the loyalty, filial piety etiquette and family rules in the background of the times.

After breakfast, under Zhou Chen's order, Nanchen's army quickly integrated and set off.

Zhou Chen had been observing all the time. Judging from the behavior of King Nanchen's army, he knew that this was indeed an elite army. It made sense that King Nanchen was invincible.

The superiors set an example for the subordinates. It is precisely because the young Nanchen King, as the commander, is self-disciplined and has strict military orders that the soldiers below can have such spirit.

"Let's go!"

The capital of Beichen is in Zhongzhou. According to the geographical location, it is almost the Luoyang of later generations. The most important city in the west of Beichen is Xizhou, which is also one of the important capitals of the ancient dynasty.

Xizhou is also the fief of the Nanchen Palace and the most important military stronghold in the west. It is now controlled by the young Nanchen King Zhou Shengchen. The young Nanchen King is also the most powerful prince in Beichen. Almost all of the western part of Beichen is commanded 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 will definitely know who the young Nanchen King is.

When the Nanchen King's army was marching quickly, outside the city of Xizhou, a large group of people were slowly approaching the city gate. The momentum was so great that the people passing by unconsciously made way.

At the gate of the city, there was a group of people waiting on horseback. These people were the garrisons guarding Xizhou and the retainers of the Nanchen Palace. The leader was the second disciple of the young Nanchen King, Zhou Tianxing.

"Here we are."

When the large army of the Yi clan entered the sphere of influence of the young Nanchen King, someone came to report at full speed. He also calculated the time and waited here.

Although the Nanchen Palace was also a noble prince, the Yi clan, as the leader of the world's literati, was not much worse than the Nanchen Palace in terms of status. Just to send their daughter to become a disciple, they sent three thousand private soldiers for protection. How could ordinary families have such ability?

In the plot, the emperor Liu Zixing had to compromise with the Yi clan in order to stabilize his country. It can also be seen that the Yi clan was powerful and had a status among the world's aristocratic families.

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 Yi Shou, and took the Yi clan's people to stay temporarily at the post station.

In the carriage, a beautiful girl gently lifted the curtain and saw the majestic Xizhou city wall in front of her, and a light flashed in her eyes.

Since she learned a few years ago that she was going to Xizhou to become a disciple, she had actually been looking forward to it in her heart, because she had lived in the Yi clan since she was born, and she had few opportunities to leave the Yi clan mansion, so this time she could leave Qinghe and go to Xizhou, she was looking forward to it and nervous.

Looking at the city wall, Yi Shiyi couldn't help but think of the world-famous Little Nanchen King who was about to become her master, and now she was very looking forward to it.

'Little Nanchen King, Zhou Shengchen, Master? '

Yi Shiyi suffered from aphasia due to the stimulation in her childhood, and she invited countless doctors, but it was ineffective, so now she still can't speak and can only communicate with sign language.

One day later, the sky was hazy, and the Nanchen King's army marched 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 excited, and each team was marching quickly.

Everyone in the King's Army knew that His Highness would review the King's Army outside the city when the sun rose in the east, so they were all vigorous and in high spirits.

Zhou Chen, wearing black and red armor, walked behind with the military advisor and disciples such as Hong Xiaoyu, following the large army.

There was light snow in the sky. On the wall of Xizhou City, Shiyi followed his brother Feng to the wall and saw the Nanchen King's Army that had already lined up outside the wall.

Shiyi and Feng were both wearing brocade cloaks, looking down, and they did not feel cold, but full of expectations.

Jifeng is the third son of Jiguang of the Ji family, and the cousin who cares about Ji Shiyi the most. He is a few years older than Ji Shiyi, and can be described as handsome and suave. The relationship between the two siblings is also very deep. In order to take care of Ji Shiyi, he came to Xizhou to join the army.

The soldiers outside the city have formed a square array. Although there are a lot of them, they stand straight one by one. There is no noise, only the sound of the wind.

In the center of the square array, in the center of the front, a high platform was temporarily built. Everyone was facing the direction of the high platform in front, waiting quietly.

Obviously, this kind of military parade is not the first time.

Jifeng whispered to Ji Shiyi: "Do you see that high platform? The one who will climb the high platform will be your future master."

Ji Shiyi nodded gently, looked at the high platform obediently, and his eyes flashed with expectation involuntarily.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of neighing horses. Feng Feng saw a group of people approaching quickly and shouted in surprise.

"Here he comes, here he comes."

Seeing his excited look, those who didn't know him would think that he was the one who wanted to become his disciple.

Shiyi took a step forward, close to the city wall, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the rapidly approaching team nervously and expectantly.

Zhou Chen brought a group of disciples and his personal soldiers to the square formation, jumped off the horse with a flip, and walked to the platform alone with a solemn face.

Zhou Chen had experienced similar military parades many times in other worlds, and many times there were more people than this time, so this scene naturally did not shock him.

He walked straight to the platform, turned around and looked at the countless soldiers in the formation, then walked to the war drum on the side, picked up the drumstick, and started to beat the drum.

The original Zhou Shengchen was an invincible warrior on the battlefield, and Zhou Chen's current physical fitness is only stronger than his, and his strength is even stronger. Beating the drum is a piece of cake for him.

As Zhou Chen beat the drum rhythmically, the drum sounded throughout the world, and all the soldiers followed the drum sound. They hit the shield with swords, hit the ground with long spears, and roared loudly.

"The world is a lesson, and we must die for our loyalty."

"The world is a lesson, and we must die for our loyalty."

"The world is a lesson, and we must die for our loyalty."

…………

The sound of drums and roars resounded through the heavens and earth, shocking everyone. Standing on the city wall, both Feng and Shiyi were shocked by the scene before their eyes.

Shiyi looked at the drummer infatuatedly, and his hands could not help but be placed on the city wall, his eyes blurred, and he was completely attracted by this scene.

A grand military parade, from beginning to end, did not take very long, because it would soon be time to open the city gates.

When Zhou Chen announced the end of the military parade, the soldiers in each formation also 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 the military power and momentum of the Nanchen King's Army with his own eyes. The Nanchen King's Army was indeed extraordinary. At least the troops who came here for the military parade were all elite.

Zhou Chen rode into the city. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Hong Xiaoyu, who was leading the charge, riding a horse and scolding others with a bad look.

He turned his eyes to the two people without making any expression. In fact, he had already noticed the two people standing on the city wall during the military parade just now. Knowing the plot, he naturally guessed the identities of the two people.

Ji Shiyi, Ji Feng.

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, and he happened to meet the Ji family sending Ji Shiyi to Xizhou. It seems that the luck card is also effective.

Seeing Hong Xiaoyu scolding loudly, Zhou Chen rode over.

As soon as he appeared, Ji Feng and Ji Shiyi's eyes instantly shifted to him, especially Ji Shiyi. Seeing Zhou Chen at such a close distance, her face unconsciously blushed.

Zhou Chen was naturally also looking at Ji Shiyi. Even with his eyes that had seen countless women, the little girl in front of him still gave him a stunning feeling.

This kind of stunning is not just about appearance. After all, Shiyi is still a little girl. If we really talk about appearance, he has met many women who are more beautiful than her.

But the temperament of Shiyi is rare. It is completely different from modern women. The temperament 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, a beautiful woman with temperament is also the ideal type pursued by men.

Many beautiful women with temperament may not be stunning in appearance, but they give people the same feeling as those stunning beauties, and are even more attractive.

However, Shiyi is only thirteen or fourteen years old after all. In Zhou Chen's eyes, she is still a little girl.

Although he recognized Shiyi and their identities, Zhou Chen did not mean to recognize them at this time. He just told Hong Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, don't scare them, let's go."

"Yes, Master."

Hong Xiaoyu responded, and when she saw Zhou Chen riding away, she quickly followed.

Both Shiyi and Feng were looking at Zhou Chen's back, one of them was curious and shy, the other was admiring.

Zhou Chen led the team back to the Nanchen Palace. He was the 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 highest starting point among his countless travels, so 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, greeted him happily.

"Congratulations, Master, for returning with a great victory."

Zhou Chen responded softly, and then said, "Let's go into the palace."

The personal soldiers immediately followed him into the palace, and then the third disciple Xie Yun took them to pack up, and 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 Yan people arrived in Xizhou?"

Zhou Tianxing said in surprise, "Master, you already know. I was just about to report to you. The Yan people 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 from the Yan family."

Hong Xiaoyu reacted, "Master, could it be that the two people at the city gate just now are the Yan family?"

"It should be."

"Two ? ”

Zhou Tianxing looked surprised, Hong Xiaoyu said: "It's a man and a woman, the man is older."

Zhou Tianxing nodded and said: "That should be it. The disciple gave the token to Sanlang of the Yi family. He said he admired the master and wanted to watch the master review the troops."

Hong Xiaoyu was embarrassed: "I thought they were spies and almost caught them. Thanks to the master's sharp eyes, otherwise you would have been in trouble today."

Then he punched Zhou Tianxing in dissatisfaction. Zhou Tianxing also immediately apologized to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen just waved his hand and didn't mind.

"The purpose of the Yi family coming here this time is very clear. When is the apprenticeship banquet scheduled?"

"The day after tomorrow? Okay, I know."

Zhou Chen didn't want to change his mind about apprenticeship, because this was the only option to keep Yi Shiyi in Xizhou. If he refused to be an apprentice today, I'm afraid that the Yi family would take Yi Shiyi back soon, and even the court might take action against him.

He had just come here not long ago, and the best choice was to remain unchanged in the face of change. As I said before, everything should be based on completing the main task as the primary goal.

Therefore, it was necessary for Shiyi to become a disciple.

As for the future, the relationship between the master and the disciple would not be tolerated by the world?

Haha, would he care?

After lunch, Zhou Chen went to the library in the palace. This library also had many scenes in the TV series, and the male and female protagonists spent a lot of time here.

The library is indeed not small, and it is filled with various books. Although paper was already available in this era, there was no printing technology. All books needed to be copied manually, but because they were copied with pen and ink, such books were not conducive to preservation and were easily damaged.

In contrast, although bamboo slips are heavy and complicated, bamboo slips with inscriptions are relatively easy to preserve, so many precious books at this time still use books.

As a palace for several generations, the original body of Nanchen Palace is a person who likes reading, so there are many books collected in the library, but because the library is very large, it also makes the library relatively empty.

Although he has Zhou Shengchen's memory, Zhou Chen still wants to know more about this world, so he stayed in the library for two consecutive days after returning, immersed in books.

Until this day's apprenticeship banquet, this is also a big day for him, so it has been prepared early in the morning, and the palace also attaches great importance to it.

There are ten disciples in Nanchen Palace, but they are more of disciples. In fact, there is no formal apprenticeship, nor is it as grand as this time.
