farming female castellan

Chen Zhongyan looked at Zhen Guogong, and turned a deaf ear to the "take down"; the six hundred and two soldiers stood there firmly, like clay sculptures.

Lord Zhen looked at those people in surprise: "What's wrong?"

The soldiers seemed to want to answer, but no one spoke.

"Don't worry, it's just that I'm weak now, and I'll be fine in a while." Chen Zhongyan said slowly.

"Are you going to disobey the holy order?" Lord Zhen Guo sternly said.

"The Holy Mandate is just what you say, who knows the truth or falsehood! I am not wrong, and I am not guilty. Why do you suddenly pretend to take down a prince who is personally anointed by the Holy One? What is your intention?" Chen Zhongyan's voice also became louder.

The six hundred soldiers fell softly to the ground. The Duke of Zhen was breathing rapidly: "What do you want?"

"I just want to stay here safely, don't come and play so many tricks with me!"

"Aren't you worried that Chen Fan and others have been captured?"

Chen Zhongyan glared: "Don't you know how much Chen Fan and Zhang Ci have done for the country? How dare you do it?"

Lord Zhen remained silent, as if he was waiting for news.After a long time, his bodyguard stumbled over and fell to his knees on the ground: "Report...Report to the Lord, over there...there were heavy casualties."

Duke Zhen was furious: "How dare you?"

"Why don't we dare? We have a clear conscience for the country and the people. Can't we resist when our lives are threatened? I took good care of you on the way and in the mansion, and there is nothing wrong with you. You can return to the court with the survivors."

Duke Zhen sneered: "Are you willing to let me go?"

"Of course I am willing to do so. There is no need for the Duke of the State to go out in person on the other side of the mountain, so you can return to Beijing safely. You can say what you want to do when you return to Beijing, and it is up to you whether you want to bring an army or not."

Chen Zhongyan saw that he was silent, so he added: "There is still time to go back to Beijing for the New Year. You have to thank Chen Fan and Zhang Ci, they took the lead in building the cement road, and now most of the official roads are easy to travel."

Lord Zhen looked at the soldiers, and Chen Zhongyan said: "Don't think too much, they just stay and farm. Maybe one day they will occupy the land on the other side of the mountain and make a contribution that the Lord of the Kingdom has never made." .”

The Duke of Zhen was so angry that he pointed at his nose, but his hands were shaking and he could not speak.

Chen Zhongyan said thoughtfully: "I can prepare more horses and carriages for you so that you can rush back as soon as possible. Thirty horses and ten carriages, are they enough?"

"What to do with the wounded?"

"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best to treat them. If they want to return to Beijing next year, they can still return to Beijing."

Zhen Guogong did not leave, he asked the guards to inform the others.

Chen Zhongyan smiled: "If the Duke wants to disguise himself as a bandit and attack the stronghold, I advise you to save your trouble and let the soldiers survive. The people in the stronghold over there will not be as kind-hearted and soft-handed as us."

Duke Zhen sneered: "I have reason to suspect that the village is already yours."

"Even if you have doubts, go ahead and fight if you have the ability. Let me remind you again, you are so far away from the capital for so long, aren't you afraid that someone will seize your military power and harm your prince-in-law?"

Duke Zhen's expression darkened: "Presumptuous!"

Chen Zhongyan sneered: "The Holy Majesty has indeed given a lot of guarantees to the prince, but the second, third, fourth and fifth princes and concubines are all from various government houses. You do have military power in your hands, but you have been away from Beijing for too long." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Walk.

After panting for a while, Lord Zhen Guo went to Chen Zhongyan and said he needed horses and carriages.

When the guards came back, Chen Zhongyan had already prepared the carriage and supplies for him.

"It's already late today, let's start again tomorrow morning."

The Duke of Zhen went to see the wounded.Many people are not injured in vital parts and can just rest.

He looked at Zhang Ci coldly: "You are really hypocritical, the arrows are so fierce, but only hurt the arms and legs, and then spend medicine to treat them." Zhang Ci smiled lightly: "They are all the people of the Daxiang Dynasty. They don't deserve to die, they just need to suffer a little bit because they are ordered to do things indiscriminately."

Duke Zhen gritted his teeth.

After staying one night, Zhen Guogong left in a hurry with some people.

Chen Zhongyan came to Chen's house and sat down on a chair with a sullen face.Zhang Ci lay silently with him.

After a long time, Chen Zhongyan sighed heavily: "It's really boring. I miss Guiyunju and Su Garden, and I miss the first days."

Zhang Ci smiled: "It's pretty good in Changping Township."

"It's different. Family will always be family, but that piece of land may be gone one day." So he and Zhang Ci both wanted to grab a piece of land on the other side of the mountain.

"Harvest as you say. We have grown high-yield rice seeds, wheat seeds, and rapeseeds that can be cultivated by the whole Xia Kingdom, and we have grown delicious watermelons and grapes. We have contributed a lot of medicinal materials, and we have harvested as we say." As he spoke, he wiped his eyes.

"Are you shedding these tears for your eldest sister?"

Chen Zhongyan kicked him: "If Duke Zhen Guo didn't come, I wouldn't be so angry; if he didn't attack me in the end, I wouldn't feel bored either."

Zhang Ci changed him a cup of tea: "He stayed for so long and still wants to take full control?"

Chen Zhongyan snorted: "If he succeeds, he can stay for the New Year. I hope he can rush back to the capital."

They packed up and went to Hwaseong, spent money to decorate the streets and villages to create a strong New Year atmosphere.

The soldiers who entered the mountain gathered together, watching other people's bustle, very depressed.They couldn't talk to the mountain people, they couldn't get out of the mountain, they couldn't go back to the capital, and they couldn't receive any news from outside the mountain, as if they were isolated from the world.

People from the city defense camp came to deliver New Year's goods to them and said, "We are guests from afar, so you can stay here for the New Year with peace of mind. When the snow melts next year, you can go back home."

The soldiers thanked them numbly and looked at the new year's goods.

"Pork, cabbage, flour, are you making dumplings and wontons? We still need to ask the common people for help. And glutinous rice flour? Make dumplings?"

"There are also bacon and a lot of vegetables, the cottage is so polite..."

"There are also Spring Festival couplets and lanterns. Do you want to post them? Do you want to hang them?"

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, they couldn't help but get busy seeing every household posting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns.A few active people found some mountain people to help prepare New Year meals.

Zhen Guogong finally rushed back to the capital with his people before sunset on New Year's Eve, and returned to the palace to return to his orders.

The emperor was furious. As soon as the Duke left, he grabbed the inkstone and smashed it to the ground: "Shuzi is rampant!"

Yu Chenglin curled his neck like a quail.

"Someone, put Chen Zhongzhu and his family in jail."

Yu Chenglin quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, human words are to be feared."

The emperor kicked his foot: "Human words? Do they have more prestige among the people than I do?"

Yu Chenglin struggled to get up and knelt on the ground.

When the Yulin Army arrived, Chen Zhongliang was not at home.

"Why isn't he at home on New Year's Eve?" The leading captain didn't believe it.
