Chapter 29: Miracle Medicine
Zhou Shengchen didn't expect these people to be surprisingly well-behaved. He could only hold back his secret laughter, and then continued: "Since you know this, you should join hands and work together with me and King Dingbei to create a Qingming world!"
Seeing that his tone had softened, the generals immediately saluted and replied, "Follow my king's orders!"
Feeling strange, they looked at each other, then secretly looked up at Gao Yuchao.
"From the six towns in the north to Daizhou here, they are all controlled by Wang Chao of Qin Dynasty, now Wang Chao of Dingbei!" Zhou Shengchen explained.
The generals' eyes widened when they heard this, and they couldn't believe it.
Gao Yuchao immediately held out the imperial edict, stood up and shouted loudly: "Here is the imperial edict!"
The generals hurriedly bowed again, saluted and praised: "See the ceremony to determine the king of the north!"
Zhou Shengchen lectured a few more words, stood up and left his seat.
The generals were all trembling, not knowing what he was going to do, for fear of moving their heads.
"What should I do if I disobey the king's orders again?" Zhou Shengchen asked slowly.
"Only death!" all the generals replied together.
Stretching out his hands, Zhou Shengchen said in a gentle tone: "The right way is 'a gentleman is respectful and courteous, and he is respectful and polite to others. We are all brothers in the world'. You have done it before, don't do it again in the future!"
Although the generals didn't understand the words "a gentleman respects him without losing anything", they were familiar with the words that followed, "We are all brothers in the four seas".
They couldn't believe that Zhou Shengchen would really treat him like this. With an uneasy feeling, they stood up from the ground first.
The backs were clean and tidy, but the fronts and legs of these people were covered in dust.
It looked embarrassing, but they didn't dare to slap him, so they had to continue to apologize.
"You are all the pillars of the country, and I will let the past go. But if anyone doesn't obey King Dingbei in the future, you all know that I will appear at any time." Zhou Shengchen continued.
All the generals knew that Zhou Shengchen dared to disobey orders and attack first. At this time, they all became more vigilant and even said that they "will definitely obey orders."
"Okay. I invite you here just to have a drink with you." A smile appeared on Zhou Shengchen's face.
The generals couldn't believe what he said, and they were even more worried that he would kill them with poisoned wine, and their faces turned pale.
Zhou Shengchen said no more. Gao Yuchao collected the imperial edict and immediately ordered the guards to bring in wine and meat.
In a panic, the generals sat on the huts on both sides of the tent, secretly looking at and pondering the meat and wine on the eucalyptus in front of them.
Seeing their cold sweat still rolling down from their foreheads and temples, Zhou Shengchen suppressed a secret chuckle, raised the wine bowl nonchalantly, and said loudly: "Please drink together!"
The generals looked at each other, grimaced, and fell to the ground again: "If King Xiao Nanchen still hasn't calmed down, just kill us. It's really unnecessary. There's no need to treat him to wine and meat."
Unable to bear it anymore, Zhou Shengchen and Gao Yuchao couldn't help but laugh a few times and drank all the wine in their bowls first.
Seeing that the two men were fine, the generals drank a little hesitantly. After sipping the taste, they felt that it was no different from the usual fine wine, so they drank it all with shameful expressions.
"Since you have said it just now, how can you break your promise?" Gao Yuchao said approaching.
Zhou Shengchen smiled and said nothing, and the generals hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare to hope!"
"Why are you still being polite?" Gao Yuchao said in a rough voice.
The generals saw that he was angry and quickly said: "You must obey orders."
Zhou Shengchen saw it interestingly and laughed and said, "If brothers are sworn brothers like this, what's the point?"
At this time, the generals confirmed that he was sincere, and immediately stood up to worship together, saying: "It is really an honor to be sworn in with King Xiao Nanchen!"
Seeing that everyone was sincerely convinced, Zhou Shengchen immediately ordered people to place incense and eucalyptus, and earnestly announced their ages to everyone and became brothers.
And because he was the youngest, everyone was still embarrassed even though they had sworn sworn friends.
"Since I have agreed, I will be your brother. If my little brother is in trouble someday," he said calmly.
Before he could finish his words, everyone shouted one after another:
"If someone is afraid of death, he was not born to his own mother";
"If Your Highness is ill, our lives will be lost";
…
Everyone spoke enthusiastically, and Zhou Shengchen and Gao Yuchao raised their glasses to toast one after another.
With such a sworn sworn relationship, someone might secretly inform the court. But King Xiao Nanchen is trying to appease the feudal vassals. If the world is really in balance because of this, what's wrong?
Everyone gathered together for a few days. After Zhou Shengchen comforted the generals, he ordered them to go back to their respective bases and work with Gao Yuchao to stabilize the people and pay attention to possible rebellions in other feudal towns.
These people were like fire, sowing everywhere around them, and became the gods of retribution and gatekeepers for Zhou Shengchen and Gao Yuchao.
From then on, Jinrong's Sakon in Taiyuan County lost many possible partners and increased the number of potential enemies.
The neighborhood was basically stable, and Zhou Shengchen said goodbye to Gao Yuchao immediately.
"After all, Wang has many soldiers, so it's not good to spend too much time here with my brother." Zhou Shengchen said with a smile.
After Gao Yuchao sighed, he patted his chest and said, "Your Highness is a young hero, and the world admires him. I have received great kindness from Your Highness, and I will definitely obey and repay you in the future!"
No matter how we say goodbye, we have no choice but to say goodbye.
Zhou Shengchen led countless soldiers and returned singing triumphant songs.
In order to demonstrate his force, he deliberately crossed the two sides of the Yellow River several times. Wherever he went, the generals of all the vassal towns bowed down to greet him. After swearing to protect one side, they gave him farewell gifts.
The hundreds of thousands of troops finally crossed the Yellow River and entered the Guanzhong area.
Zhou Shengchen immediately ordered all departments to garrison in various places, and then ordered special personnel to take over the areas under the jurisdiction of King Yuanping Qin.
After everything was arranged, he led some cavalry and rushed back to Chang'an.
At this time, the person in Chang'an City who is looking forward to it the most, or in other words, the person who is looking forward to Zhou Shengchen's safe return as soon as possible, must be Yang Shiyi.
Nearly two years have passed, and she has grown from a thirteen-year-old girl to a fifteen-year-old beautiful girl.
In addition to learning the various talents instructed by Zhou Shengchen, the most important thing she did was to climb to the highest point of the palace every day and look out at the scene outside the city.
The majestic troops of the royal army were never seen in her sight. Naturally, she would not see the handsome king walking into the palace with a peaceful smile.
That evening, amid the gorgeous sunset glow that filled the sky, Yan Shiyi once again stood at the highest point, looking longingly out of the city.
Still not seeing Wang Jun and Prince Xiao Nanchen, she sat on the roof of the house with a regretful expression, in a daze.
Zhou Shengchen rode to the gate of the palace. After dismounting, he handed the horse's reins to the guard and walked quickly into the palace.
Looking up, he saw the shadow of a young girl sitting silently on the roof of the house in the beautiful sunset.
Her skirts fluttered in the evening breeze, making her look like a goddess descending to earth.
Without calling her, Zhou Shengchen climbed to the roof from the other side and walked slowly towards her along the ridge of the roof.
"I am willing to fight for all the people in the world to live and work in peace and contentment. There are still eleven waiting for me, and I am willing to return thousands of miles away." He said slowly.
Hearing this familiar voice, Yu Shiyi turned his head and looked over in disbelief.
Her eyes immediately filled with tears. She thought he was a god descending from the sky, so she could only look up at him blankly with a complicated expression of surprise and surprise.
"Eleven, I'm really back." Zhou Shengchen said softly with a smile.
Jian Shiyi stood up slowly, looked at him carefully, and thought to himself: Is he injured, does he feel tired...
Zhou Shengchen stretched out his hand, and Shiyi put his hand on his, feeling warm both physically and mentally.
She was immediately happy in her heart, and she gestured: My king is back, and it’s time to be polite on the eleventh day.
After saying that, she bowed deeply and saluted.
"No need to be polite." After Zhou Shengchen said this, he reached out and held her.
Jian Shiyi looked up at him, and immediately burst into tears when he heard the familiar voice and words.
She said silently in her heart: My king, I miss you so much.
Zhou Shengchen looked at her and was about to speak when a system prompt suddenly came to his mind.
【Ding. See you again, I will be heartbroken for you, and I will reward you with a pill to cure aphasia. 】
Zhou Shengchen immediately had a pill in his sleeve.
"Close your eyes," he whispered.
Jian Shiyi immediately closed his eyes obediently and stood quietly in front of him.
She felt his warmth on her lips, and she felt like something was being brought to her lips by him. She opened her red lips lightly and obeyed.
"Eleven, look at me." Zhou Shengchen said softly.
Jian Shiyi opened his eyes and looked at him dreamily.
"If you could speak now, what would you most like to say to me?" he asked gently.
"My king, I miss you so much." Jian Shiyi said clearly, word for word.
Zhou Shengchen immediately said excitedly: "Eleven, you can speak!"
Jian Shiyi didn't notice it at first, but then he came back to his senses.
She opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time before she realized that this was what really happened.
"My king, I miss you so much." She said again, tears rolling down her face.
Holding her shoulders, Zhou Shengchen whispered: "Amidst the thousands of troops, I will never stop thinking of you."
Jian Shiyi immediately wanted to bow again, but he stopped him.
Unable to help herself, she fell into his arms, burst into tears, and said intermittently: "Not a day goes by that I don't worry about you."
Patting her back gently, Zhou Shengchen continued to comfort her.
After a long time, Jian Shiyi came to his senses and quickly came out of his arms. He bowed again and said, "Master, Shi Yi has roughly heard about your journey to fight thousands of miles away. Knowing that Master is tired, please go and rest first. Shi Shi will serve you wholeheartedly."
Zhou Shengchen nodded, took her hand and walked to the eaves.
Worried that she was scared, Zhou Shengchen simply hugged her with one hand and slowly returned to the ground from the long ladder.
Cheng Xi, Feng Qiao and others were already waiting and quickly came forward to salute.
"Your Highness, you have just come back, please rest first." Cheng Xi said honestly.
"I want to ask about Eleven's homework. Go get it for her." Zhou Shengchen said and walked to the study room with Yan Shiyi.
Feng Qiao wanted to follow. Military advisor Xie Chong couldn't help but smile and said, "General Feng, I have something important to discuss with you."
"Oh." After Feng Qiao gave Zhou Shengchen another gift, she followed Xie Chong carelessly.
Zhou Shengchen and Min Shiyi were sitting in the study. Cheng Xi came in with many scrolls and placed them on the table: "Your Highness, there are more. I will fetch them later."
"No need. The master has just come back. Don't let him be too tired." Yu Shiyi said.
Cheng Xi complimented, then his eyes widened and he stammered: "Young lady,"
Jian Shiyi didn't seem to notice that he was speechless before, but now he suddenly recovered. Now Cheng Xi's surprise question made her wake up.
"It was master who saved me." After saying this, Yang Shiyi bowed gratefully to Zhou Shengchen.
"It's just God's will." Zhou Shengchen supported her.
Cheng Xi was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. He felt that it was inappropriate to just stand here, so he kept saying, "I'll tell the two generals right now!"
After that, she trotted out of the house.
Looking at her back, Zhou Shengchen couldn't help but smile: "Cheng Xi always said something about etiquette, but she didn't abide by it herself."
"Master, please don't blame me." Ji Shiyi bowed again and said.
"Okay, let me take a look at the homework from the past few days." Zhou Shengchen said with a smile and flipped through the scroll.
Either commenting on the neat handwriting of the copied book, or praising her experience in reading a lot of books, Zhou Shengchen said it sincerely, and Miao Shiyi listened happily.
She couldn't help but cling to Zhou Shengchen's side, and she would smile and reply from time to time, "Disciple still needs to work hard."
The two of them were chatting and laughing when Yu Feng and Yu Shou walked in together with Hong Xiaoyu, Feng Qiao and others.
He and Zhang Shou still met frequently, but when Cao Shiyi faced his third cousin Zhang Feng, whom he had not seen for nearly two years, he was so excited that he ran over quickly.
"Third brother." Kao Shiyi cried and cried. Kao Feng couldn't help hugging her and crying: "My little sister can finally speak!"
The people in the room couldn't help but sigh, Zhou Shengchen ordered everyone to sit down. When everyone learned that it was Zhou Shengchen who cured Miao Shiyi's aphasia, they all praised him.
"I originally discussed Shiyi's illness with the military advisor." Zhou Shengchen looked at Miao Shiyi with concern, and then said to everyone: "But after all, she got sick because of her impatience, and now she is cured because of her impatience. God willing."
Everyone praised again, but Yu Shiyi was already blushing. After secretly looking at Zhou Shengchen, she quickly lowered her head.
Hong Xiaoyu reported the military affairs of Wang Jun's return and resettlement. Zhou Shengchen thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, you and General Ni will set off for Shouyang."
"Master, can I go alone?" Hong Xiaoyu first looked at Hao Feng, and then replied with a blushing face.
Hong Xiaoyu and Yu Feng have been together for a long time and have feelings for each other.
Although Feng Feng is a member of the family, he does not appear to be a dandy. In addition to being elegant in words and deeds, he is also very familiar with the military. He is also wise in command and brave in battle. From this point of view, although Yu Feng has been well-educated since childhood, he is also an extremely talented general.
Although Hong Xiaoyu has no more knowledge, he is straightforward in his words and deeds. She is also beautiful and has been in the military for many years. She always exudes a heroic demeanor that is rare for women.
Her demeanor made Yu Feng both admired and obsessed with her. Whether they are marching, fighting, or camping to rest, they must care about each other and discuss military affairs with each other.
At this time, when Hong Xiaoyu said that he was going, Yufeng subconsciously became anxious.
"Your Highness, I also know that the military affairs over there are both dangerous and urgent. Even if I am not talented, I will definitely be able to assist General Hong to win and pacify the world there!" He quickly handed over his hands and asked for orders.
Seeing that these two people were inseparable, Zhou Shengchen strengthened his decision.
"I predict that once General Jun leaves, he will definitely capture Shouyang. After that, he will be the commander-in-chief of Shouyang." He continued to order.
Hong Xiaoyu saw that he couldn't refuse, but this was actually playing into his own hands - according to the private ideas of this bold and bold heroine, it would be impossible not to let Yu Feng follow him.
As for letting this Confucian general come from behind to be the commander-in-chief of Shouyang, Hong Xiaoyu had no objection. First she convinced her master, and then she was so passionate that she didn't care about her rank at all.
The two of them were ordered to leave. Zhou Shengchen stopped Hong Xiaoyu again and whispered to her: "I went to Shouyang, like Daizhou. I just said that the surrounding area is uneasy and we can't withdraw our troops back!"
