Chapter 1328: King Guangling, Another Birthday

Before the battle was over, Feng Qiao had already arrived. After Zhou Chen defeated those people, she immediately led the people outside the temple to arrest Xiao Yan and the guards. After receiving the order, she led them Back to the military camp.

Zhou Chen looked at Miao Shiyi, who still had a nervous look on his face, with soft eyes.

"Although I didn't hear you speak the first moment I came back, it's not too late."

Jian Shiyi smiled sheepishly, but his eyes were soft and bright with joy.

"Teacher, father."

"Don't worry, get used to it slowly, and you'll be able to speak normally soon. Let's go back first."

"Um."

Zhou Chen took Yang Shiyi and returned to the military camp with the large army.

In the military camp, Zhou Chen went to meet Xiao Yan alone and brought wine.

Before he could speak, Xiao Yan took the lead and said, "Does Your Highness want to ask me why I left the Second Prince of Nan Xiao to become a monk in Beichen?"

Zhou Chen said: "Normal people would not have such a choice, unless something big happened. I have heard about you. I originally had the opportunity to compete for the position of Nanxiao, but a few years ago, I suddenly lived in seclusion without asking. The government even disbanded the palace later, I heard some rumors.”

Xiao Yan smiled softly and said: "The rumors are true. I am indeed not the son of Emperor Nan Xiao, but an orphan from the previous dynasty. I hate the destruction of the country. Your Highness, do you think I can continue to be the second prince in Nan Xiao?"

Zhou Chen didn't say anything, he just opened the wine jar, poured a glass for Xiao Yan, and then raised the glass to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then showed a sincere smile. He also picked up the wine glass, touched it with Zhou Chen, and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Chen smiled casually and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your Highness doesn't doubt me?" Xiao Yan asked.

"No doubt."

"Why?"

"You didn't even become the second prince and came here to be a monk. Is it possible that Emperor Nan Xiao was so willing to spend so much money to let you be an undercover agent?"

"We have met several times, but this time you gave me a different feeling than the previous times."

"Really? Maybe I'm more handsome."

"?"

Xiao Yan never expected that the dignified King Xiao Nanchen would say such inappropriate words, and his expression looked silly.

"Are you really King Xiao Nanchen, Zhou Shengchen?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Xiao Yan suddenly asked: "What will your emperor of Beichen do to me?"

"I don't believe you didn't think about it before coming here. You don't need to ask me this kind of question."

"Your Highness is still Your Highness."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, thinking of the girl he saw at the temple before.

"That girl I met before is also your apprentice? I heard her call you master. Your attitude towards her is a little different. You care about her very much."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Is this so strange? Everyone has someone or something they care about, not to mention she is still my apprentice."

Xiao Yan just smiled softly. He had a clear mind and that was not what he wanted to express. However, he had also heard about Zhou Shengchen. Seeing that Zhou Chen had no intention of talking about it, he did not ask any more questions and exchanged words with Zhou Chen. clink.

After finishing the jar of wine, before leaving, Zhou Chen said: "Although you are a prisoner, if you want anything, just tell my people directly."

Xiao Yan replied: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhou Chen had the news of Xiao Yan's arrest spread to Zhongzhou at an extremely fast speed. He knew that Zhongzhou would definitely not harm Xiao Yan. After all, Xiao Yan was the second prince of Nanxiao. No matter what the reason for his rebellion, Xiao Yan would still be alive. It must be more valuable than the dead Xiao Yan.

There are many benefits to keeping Xiao Yan, one of them is that if everyone in the world knows that Beichen has taken Xiao Yan in, it will definitely increase Beichen's prestige and also attack Nanxiao. Why not do it? .

When Zhou Chen and the others returned to the Prince's Mansion in Xizhou City, they naturally took Xiao Yan with them and placed him in a separate courtyard of the Prince's Mansion.

The communication speed in ancient times was very slow. Even if it was urgent, it would take more than half a month to receive a reply from Zhongzhou.

Just like in the TV plot, the reply from Zhongzhou was to settle Xiao Yan. Soon, King Guangling will bring people to Xizhou, and he will bring the decree at that time.

After receiving the news, Zhou Chen unconsciously showed a sneer.

"Liu Zixing."

Throughout the play, Zhou Shengchen's tragedy is due to the royal family and the former queen, while Shi Yi's tragedy is due to Liu Zixing.

Although Liu Zixing himself was miserable, Zhou Chen didn't care so much and was destined to be an enemy. Why should I feel pity for the enemy?

When he traveled through time and became Zhou's birthday, Liu Zixing was on his must-kill list, and now the time was just right.

Today, Miao was a little absent-minded, and it was the same during class. She almost burned her hands when she poured tea for Zhou Chen in the study room.

"Eleven, you have been absent-minded all day. Did something happen to you?"

Jian Shiyi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Master, I heard that King Guangling will come to Xizhou soon. Is it true?"

Zhou Chen smiled: "So it's because of this. Why, do you want to see him or not?"

Jian Shiyi said without hesitation: "I don't want to."

But after he finished speaking, he realized that he had answered too quickly, so he hurriedly explained: "I mean, the matter between me and him is the family's intention, I..."

Zhou Chen said softly: "I know, if you don't want to see him, then I will help you and not let him see you."

Jin Shiyi raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen in a daze. Zhou Chen did not avoid it and just looked at her directly. The gentle look made her heart tremble.

"No, no need, Master, since King Guangling is coming, we have to meet inevitably."

She knew that the master was doing it for her good, but she couldn't be selfish. No matter what, King Guangling was still the prince. If Zhou Chen didn't let him see her, he would definitely make enemies with King Guangling. She didn't want to provoke opponents for her master.

Zhou Chen saw Jin Shiyi's concerns at a glance and said very domineeringly: "Don't say it's King Guangling, even if it's the emperor, as long as you don't want to see it, I can agree."

Such a domineering declaration shocked Jin Shiyi's heart. It's not that she hasn't seen her master domineering before, but at this moment, she felt that her master was simply the most domineering person in the world, but she liked such a master very much.

"Thank you, Master."

In the end, Shiyi still didn't say she didn't want to see him, because she was really afraid that if she said it, Master would really do what she said.

Zhou Chen saw Shiyi didn't answer, and sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything. Anyway, in his heart, Liu Zixing was already a dying man, and he was still in his palace, and Liu Zixing couldn't make any waves, so what if he let them meet?

Two months later, the Spring Festival was approaching, and the court's large army, led by Guangling Wang Liu Zixing, was about to arrive in Xizhou City.

Just when Liu Zixing arrived in Xizhou City, Zhou Chen had already taken people to the military camp.

When they arrived at the military camp, Hong Xiaoyu couldn't help asking Zhou Chen: "Master, Guangling Wang came to the palace, why did you leave, don't you want to see what kind of person Guangling Wang is? After all, he will be Eleven's husband in the future."

Zhou Chen looked serious and said slowly: "I'm afraid that I will lose control and kill him at that time."

"Ah?"

Hong Xiaoyu was stunned, looking at his master in astonishment, not understanding why the master said so.

But Zhou Chen didn't explain anything to her, he just waved his hand and let her leave.

He didn't mean to fool her, he really thought so.

After Liu Zixing arrived in Xizhou City, he didn't see Zhou Chen and was very disappointed, but then he was full of expectations, because he would soon meet his long-awaited fiancée, Shiyi.

Although he was the crown prince in the past few years, he actually had a very difficult life in the palace, and he could hold on until now. Shiyi was definitely one of his spiritual pillars.

He was about to meet Shiyi, how could he not be excited.

It was just that he had been looking forward to meeting Shiyi for a long time, but after he really met Shiyi, he found that Shiyi was very cold to him, and she didn't even want to get close to him, let alone get close to him.

A day passed quickly.

Before dawn, Zhou Chen walked out of the tent and came to a hill beside the military camp to meditate and practice.

Until the afternoon, Xie Yun suddenly came to find him. Seeing Zhou Chen still meditating, he was no longer surprised.

For more than two years, Zhou Chen had to meditate almost every day, and everyone in the palace had gotten used to it.

"Master, Eleven is here."

Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Did Prince Guangling bring her here?"

Xie Yun was surprised and said, "Master, how did you know?"

"Because Eleven is usually very well-behaved. Even if she wants to come to the military camp, she will not come here privately. No one in the palace dares to bring her here without my permission. Only Prince Guangling would do this."

"Master, you are right. It was indeed Prince Guangling who brought her here. He said that he would hold a birthday banquet for her and take this opportunity to reward the army on behalf of His Majesty."

Zhou Chen chuckled disdainfully, and then said, "I know. Although I don't care about Prince Guangling, since Eleven is here, let's hold a birthday banquet for her. Let's go."

"Yes, Master."

When Zhou Chen and Xie Yun arrived at the military camp, Prince Guangling and others were already waiting for them.

"Uncle."

"Prince Guangling."

Zhou Chen met Prince Guangling. Liu Zixing was only a teenager at the time, slightly older than the little emperor. He was still a teenager, looking weak and not in good health.

In addition to Prince Guangling, Zhou Tianxing, Feng Qiao and Shiyi were all here. Behind Prince Guangling was a eunuch and four guards.

But when his eyes swept over Shiyi, especially when he saw Shiyi's right hand wrapped in gauze, his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Eleven, what's wrong with your hand?"

"I, I accidentally burned it."

"Xiaoyu, take Eleven to the military doctor and use the medicine I gave you."

Hong Xiaoyu immediately took the order and carefully took Shiyi to find the military doctor.

Zhou Chen did not retract his gaze until Shi Yi's figure disappeared. He said to Liu Zixing with a cold expression: "Prince Guangling, enter the tent."

Liu Zixing shook his head and smiled softly: "No hurry, it's a rare opportunity to enter the military camp. I wonder if the emperor's uncle can take me around when he is free?"

Zhou Chen knew what Liu Zixing was up to, but he did not expose it. He just said: "Okay, follow me."

Zhou Chen took Liu Zixing around the military camp. During this process, four guards followed them closely. He knew that they must be sent by the eunuch Zhao Teng to monitor Liu Zixing, but he pretended not to see them.

Liu Zixing wanted to use his power to deal with Zhao Teng and General Liu Yuan. He also wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Liu Zixing and invade Zhongzhou.

Everyone uses each other together to see who has a deeper plan and greater ability.

Because it was time to celebrate Shi Yi's birthday, a special meal was added in the evening. The fireman started cooking, and the entire military camp became busy.

Time soon came to night, and Zhou Chen led everyone to set up an open-air banquet in the camp, and the whole army was having fun together.

Zhou Chen took the lead, along with many generals and King Guangling, the banquet was very lively.

However, Guangling King Liu Zixing was weak, so after drinking for a while, his body couldn't bear it anymore and he had to go back to the camp to rest.

Kao Feng, who was guarding Shouyang, also came to the military camp suddenly. Kao Shiyi was so excited to see his brother again after two years that he cried with joy.

Zhou Chen left first after drinking for a while and returned to his tent. As the coach, others couldn't let him go.

As soon as he entered the tent with his front feet, Shi Yi followed him in, but he didn't dare to approach Zhou Chen and stood far away.

"Why are you standing so far away? Come here."

Jian Shiyi walked up to Zhou Chen and said cautiously: "This disciple is here to apologize."

"Excuse me? Because of King Guangling?"

Zhou Chen laughed and asked, "Tell me, what are your crimes?"

Jian Shiyi replied: "My disciple knew that the military regulations were strict, but he did not stop King Guangling."

Zhou Chen said: "He is the king, and you are the daughter of a minister. How can I stop him? What's more, the purpose of his coming to Xizhou this time is for me. Even if there is no excuse for your birthday, he will find other excuses to come. see me."

Jian Shiyi suddenly raised his head in surprise: "Master, did you say that King Guangling came for you?"

"Otherwise? Although Xiao Yan is important, there is no need for him to travel thousands of miles to interrogate him. Just send an important official. But as the king of Guangling, he also has the title of prince, and he has come all the way to Xizhou. , How can the purpose be simple?”

"Does he want to harm Master?" Jian Shiyi was startled.

Zhou Chen found it funny when he heard this: "What are you thinking? This is Xizhou. He, the powerless King Guangling, has the guts to do anything against me?"

"Then what is he here for?" Jian Shiyi asked curiously.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I'm very curious. It's hard to tell you now, but when he comes to find me, I can let you listen on the side. You will know then."

"is this okay?"

Although she was asking, her face was full of expectation.

Zhou Chen patted her head. Instead of resisting, Shiyi squinted her eyes and let Zhou Chen caress her gently, with a smile on her face.

"I have already prepared your birthday gift for you this year."
