The world of film and television begins from childhood

Neither of them wanted to continue talking about this topic. They just stood quietly by the river, feeling the breeze. After a long time, Mu Nihuang spoke again.

"Brother Chen, Nihuang has an unwelcome request."

"Please speak, my lord."

"You are familiar with my younger brother Qing'er. He has a reckless and impulsive personality, and is a bit spoiled and undisciplined. So I would like you to be Qing'er's half-teacher and help me teach him."

"what?"

Zhou Chen was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears: "Princess, you want me to teach Prince Mu?"

Mu Nihuang's resolute face showed a rare tenderness: "I have been guarding the border for many years, and I lacked care and teaching for Qing'er, which is why he developed such a character. It is too late to teach him now. I can't watch him forever. He will grow up soon, and it's time for him to be more mature. There are not many talents like Brother Chen in the whole southern border, so Nihuang asks Brother Chen for help."

"this."

Zhou Chen looked hesitant. Mu Qing's character was indeed a little naughty, but not evil either. He was just a typical tsundere and spoiled boy, who also had a bit of a sister complex.

"Princess, you also know that when I first came here, I had some trouble with Prince Mu. You asked me to teach him, but I was afraid that he would not accept it."

Mu Nihuang glared at him, "He dares, Brother Chen, since I've asked you to do this, then you can teach Qing'er however you want, I won't ask. If he doesn't listen, you should beat him or punish him. If he dares not to listen, tell me and I'll take care of him."

Zhou Chen still hesitated: "This, isn't it a bit bad?"

"It's settled, Brother Chen. Consider it as me owing you a favor."

Seeing Mu Nihuang so sincere, Zhou Chen thought about it for a while and finally nodded. Anyway, he had nothing to do recently, so he might as well have some fun.

So, from the next day, Mu Qing's miserable days began.

"Ah, ah!!"

"Gong Ziyu, Chen Yu, I will fight you."

Zhou Chen responded to Mu Nihuang's request and began to teach Mu Qing. He took office the next day and also made a plan.

Study literature in the morning and martial arts in the afternoon.

Although Mu Qing was very reluctant, he had no choice but to obey under the power of Mu Nihuang.

He hadn't even finished studying literature for the morning, but he couldn't take it anymore and was clamoring to fight Zhou Chen.

However, before he could rush to Zhou Chen, he was knocked down by Zhou Chen and was unable to get up.

Zhou Chen sat casually on a stool, holding a meter-long bamboo stick in his hand, and pressed it on Mu Qing's shoulders, causing Mu Qing to half-kneel on the ground, completely unable to straighten his back or get up. He could only stand there helplessly and furiously.

"I was asked to read a book, but you didn't even finish half of an article of several hundred words, and you made more than a dozen mistakes. You're not even as good as a child who has just started to learn. How dare you yell at me?"

"Chen Yu, I am the young prince of Prince Mu's Mansion. If you dare to treat me like this, do you believe that I will really find someone to beat you up?"

"Okay, go ahead and look for it. Do you want to call your sister along?"

"Ah, Chen Yu, are you still a man? If you are a man, don't use my sister as a shield?"

"Then, Lord Mu, are you a man? If you are, let's fight alone, and the victory or defeat will not be decided by others."

"........."

Mu Qing's groom Wei Jing'an covered his forehead helplessly. His devilish master had met his nemesis, and was being suppressed completely.

In fact, Mu Qing had hired many teachers in the past, some of whom were better than Zhou Chen, but none of them were as unscrupulous as Zhou Chen.

Mu Qing is, after all, the young prince of Prince Mu's Mansion and will inherit the throne in two years. But Zhou Chen beats him and scolds him whenever he wants without giving him any face at all.

In the entire southern territory, apart from Princess Nihuang, perhaps only Gongzi Yu has the courage to do this.

No matter how Mu Qing struggled, he could not do anything to Zhou Chen. In the end, he could only do as Zhou Chen ordered while cursing at him. If he made any mistake, he would be beaten with a bamboo stick.

He couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, and threatening him was useless. His attempt to secretly drug Zhou Chen was also discovered, and he was the one who got drugged instead, and had diarrhea for several days.

In short, for several consecutive days, the soldiers around Mu Qing's tent could hear Mu Qing's various screams, which were really heartbreaking and made anyone who heard them cry...

Mu Nihuang also came here every morning and afternoon. On the one hand, she wanted to see the effectiveness of Zhou Chen’s teaching, and on the other hand, she wanted to intimidate Mu Qing so that he wouldn’t do anything naughty.

After observing for a few days, she was surprised to find that although Mu Qing had not made much progress in either literature or martial arts, his attitude and rules had improved a lot compared to before.

Ten days passed quickly, and on this day, the Nanchu navy, which had been silent, launched another offensive from the Jinsha River.

Mu Nihuang, who had been well prepared, immediately led the army to fight. This time Zhou Chen also put on armor and went into battle. This was a good opportunity to complete the mission, and he certainly would not miss it.

This was Zhou Chen’s first experience of a naval battle, and it was a large-scale naval battle involving tens of thousands of people.

Although the Southern Border Army had made sufficient preparations, the Southern Chu Navy, which was obviously in the initiative, was even more prepared. This time they actually used the tactic of connecting boats with iron chains, relying on the advantages of giant warships, and defeated the Southern Border Army led by Mu Nihuang.

The battle was extremely difficult and it took a huge price to force the Nanchu navy to retreat.

Zhou Chen had been observing this battle. Although Mei Changsu had told him many classic battles and strategies of naval warfare, without actual combat, those were all just talk.

The tactics of the iron chain boats were indeed very powerful, and the Southern Border Army’s defeat this time was not unfair. However, Zhou Chen did not show any sign of dejection, but instead became more confident.

After the war, Mu Nihuang was exhausted. The casualties made her heartbroken. Many of her former colleagues died in this war.

If the warships connected by iron chains were not inconvenient to move and not flexible enough, they would probably have suffered even greater losses in this battle.

"I finally understand why Nan Chu waited for so many days. It turns out it was just for this tactic."

The construction of the chain boat is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, which is why Nan Chu stopped fighting for so long.

"Brother Chen, do you have a strategy to break Nanchu's iron chain boat?" Mu Nihuang asked Zhou Chen with hopeful eyes.

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, fire attack."

Mu Nihuang's expression straightened: "Fire attack? This is a water battle, can fire attack really work?"

The battleship was made of wood, but after all, it was in the water, so it was not easy to burn the battleship.

Zhou Chen said: "It is indeed difficult to win the battle with a general fire attack, but the fire attack I am talking about not only requires the use of wind, but also requires a death squad to hit and ignite the fire; the disadvantage of the iron chain boat is that it is inconvenient to move and has poor flexibility. Once it falls into a disadvantage, it is difficult to retreat. As long as the fire attack works, they will definitely be wiped out."

Mu Nihuang listened and pondered for a moment, and finally decided to adopt Zhou Chen's strategy. Things have come to this point, and this plan is indeed the best.

So in the following period of time, Mu Nihuang began to mobilize the entire army to implement the plan, and at the same time asked people to observe the climate and wind direction.

Finally, a few days later, Nan Chu launched another attack, and Mu Nihuang, who had been prepared, mobilized the entire army and used fire attack shortly after the war began.

A thrilling naval battle, with Daliang's fire attack securing victory, the Southern Border Army led by Mu Nihuang completely defeated the Southern Chu Army.

Daliang achieved the final victory, but suffered heavy casualties. This battle lasted nearly two months, with more than 20,000 casualties among the Southern Border Army and more than 50,000 casualties among Southern Chu.

It was also because of this battle that Mu Nihuang became famous again and known throughout the countries.

Especially the Nanchu side, everyone from top to bottom hated Mu Nihuang with a vengeance, and they sent assassins to assassinate Mu Nihuang several times afterwards.

But it turned out that such moves had no effect at all against Mu Nihuang, who was on the Langya Masters List.

In this battle, Zhou Chen also completed a system task and completed one of the ten wars in the side quest. Now he has completed three-tenths. With another seven battles with tens of thousands of people, he can complete this side quest.

After the war, Zhou Chen also played a huge role. His medical skills saved many wounded soldiers and brought many people back from the brink of death.

This made the entire Southern Border Army extremely grateful to Zhou Chen, and they were much more welcome than when he first arrived.

After the war, Zhou Chen did not leave immediately, but followed Mu Nihuang and her brother back to Prince Mu's Mansion. He had promised to teach Mu Qing for a period of time, and naturally he would not go back on his word.

Anyway, he has nothing to do now, so he might as well stay in the southern border to travel.

After nearly two months of getting along, Mu Qing no longer rejected Zhou Chen, and instead started calling him Brother Yu, Brother Yu.

Because he found that Zhou Chen was so amazing, not only in martial arts, but also in other aspects, especially storytelling, which was better than anything else.

What he liked most were the stories told by Zhou Chen, especially those golden sentences, such as "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't despise the young and poor." He felt that this sentence was describing himself and it was very powerful.

He became so proud of himself that one time when he was drunk, he pointed at his sister Mu Nihuang and yelled at her.

"Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty!"

And then, nothing happened. He was suppressed by his own sister.

After returning to Prince Mu's Mansion, Mu Nihuang no longer wore armor as she did in the military camp. Instead, she changed into the elegant and luxurious attire of a princess, which made her already heroic appearance even more feminine.

At this moment, she was no longer the world-famous female general, but a charming and noble princess.

Chapter 819: Listening to music in the brothel, two years later, the plot begins

In the huge Prince Mu's Mansion, the only guest who is qualified to sit at the same table with Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing for dinner is Zhou Chen.

Old Prince Mu died in the battlefield many years ago. Not long after, Princess Mu also followed him. Although she left behind a concubine, the childless concubine did not have much interaction with the Mu siblings and would never eat at the same table with them.

Mu Nihuang's change in style really surprised Zhou Chen.

Mu Nihuang's facial features may not be stunningly beautiful, but having fought on the battlefield for many years, her skin is not as white as snow and as soft as water as that of the ladies from wealthy families.

But she has an indescribable heroic spirit, a lively look and a peerless elegance.

From Zhou Chen's perspective, having seen countless women, none of the women he had met could compare to the heroic spirit of Princess Nihuang.

In other words, it is difficult for modern women to possess the heroic temperament like Princess Nihuang. The beauty of women is different in different times.

Zhou Chen had never seen the heroine Hua Mulan, but the Princess Nihuang in front of him was probably no less beautiful than Mulan in the story.

Seeing Zhou Chen staring at his sister in a daze, Mu Qing smiled and nudged Zhou Chen.

"How is it, my sister is beautiful, isn't she? Are you fascinated?"

Zhou Chen came back to his senses and looked at Mu Qing with disdain: "I'm thinking of a question. You said that you and the princess are from the same mother, so why is there such a big difference between you?"

Mu Qing was angry: "What do you mean?"

"Look at your sister, she is so heroic and majestic, everyone in the world knows her and everyone admires her. And then look at you, you have snake-like eyebrows and rat-like eyes, a hawk-like head and a sparrow-like brain, you are unbearable to the eyes, you are horrible, what a difference..."

Mu Qing was still as impatient as ever, and angrily scolded: "How can I be so mean, or have such a hawk-like head and a sparrow-like brain? Chen Yu, don't you have eyes? I am so handsome and suave, and it's just that I am not an adult yet, otherwise, how could you be the second on the Young Master List?"

"hehe."

Zhou Chen's contemptuous smile made Mu Qing even more angry. Just when he was about to speak again, Mu Nihuang approached.

"Qing'er, what are you doing making so much noise over there?"

Mu Qing was about to complain, but he thought that no matter what he said, his sister would definitely believe Zhou Chen more, so he rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

He changed his angry expression and said with a smile, "Sister, Brother Yu and I were just talking about you. Brother Yu said that it was the first time he saw you dressed like this. You were so beautiful. He had never seen a woman as beautiful as you."

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Zhou Chen shuddered and glared at Mu Qing. How could this bastard say such things?

Mu Qing winked at him proudly. This was the first time he saw Zhou Chen being irritated by him since he met Zhou Chen. He felt really good.

Mu Nihuang was stunned and looked at Zhou Chen unconsciously, but she found that Zhou Chen was not looking at her at all. Instead, he was glaring at Mu Qing, which made her feel funny.

This was not the first time she had been praised, so she had long been accustomed to other people's compliments.

With her intelligence, how could she not see that her brother was deliberately causing trouble? However, she did not point it out. Instead, she deliberately scolded Mu Qing.

"Qing'er, stop talking nonsense. Brother Chen is a gentleman. How could he talk about others in private?"

Hearing Mu Nihuang's tone, which seemed to be talking about Mu Qing but actually meant something else, Zhou Chen could only smile awkwardly.

However, he was a little wary in his heart because Mu Nihuang was engaged to Mei Changsu, so he had to keep his distance.

Especially when he thought about the naval battle with Nan Chu some time ago, he often discussed tactics with Mu Nihuang, and they were together almost every day.

Shouldn't it?

Zhou Chen quickly got rid of this absurd idea. He was not so narcissistic as to think that after spending some time with Mu Nihuang, she would really develop feelings for him.

Thinking that the danger in the southern border had been resolved, it seemed unnecessary for him to stay any longer to prevent any further complications.

With an idea in mind, he quickly made a decision and planned to express his opinion to the Mu siblings after the meal.

Because of Mu Qing's deliberate mischief, Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang both felt a little awkward during the meal. On the contrary, the culprit, Mu Qing, was not affected at all and ate and drank to his heart's content.

Mu Qing had been in the military camp for several months and had suffered a lot. How could he control himself when he finally got home to have a good meal?

After the meal, Zhou Chen cleared his throat and said to Mu Nihuang, "Princess, I have been in the Southern Territory for a while and have caused you a lot of trouble. In order to seek a breakthrough, I plan to continue traveling and will not be able to continue teaching the young prince, so I want to say goodbye to you and apologize."

Mu Nihuang and Mu Qing's expressions changed at the same time when they heard Zhou Chen's words.

Mu Qing lost his temper and stood up in surprise: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? Why are you leaving when everything is fine? Is it because we in the Mu Mansion didn't entertain you well?"

Zhou Chen said: "Not really. The princess and the young prince are very enthusiastic and I am very grateful. But I am just like that. I don't like to stay in one place for a long time. I prefer to travel around the country and enjoy the beautiful scenery."

"Well, there's no need to be so anxious. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Why don't we wait for a while and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Mu Qing also knew that he had no reason to keep Zhou Chen, but after spending two months with Zhou Chen, he really liked playing with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen was much more interesting than his previous playmates.

Zhou Chen still refused: "I appreciate your kindness, young prince, but all good things must come to an end. Today's separation is also for a better reunion in the future."
