The way for a military general to become famous is very simple, that is to become famous on the battlefield, and Zhou Chen is just like that. Whether he is leading troops in battle or fighting against generals, Zhou Chen always stands out.
Now Zhou Chen's name has spread throughout the world. He has become a general of the new generation in Daliang and his reputation is known far and wide.
"Fufu, Fu..."
Xiaobao staggered over and threw himself into Mei Changsu's arms, calling him "father", but the meaning changed as soon as he said it.
Lin Xin is only thirteen months old and is still just learning to speak, but he can already recognize people and knows that Mei Changsu is his father.
"Hey, Xiaobao, are you tired? Do you want some water?"
Lin Xin didn't quite understand what he said, but when he saw Mei Changsu put the small teacup to his mouth, he gulped down the drink.
Mei Changsu held Xiaobao in his arms, loving him so much that Lin Chen, who was standing beside him, was envious.
I didn't envy Xiaobao for being loved, but I envied Mei Changsu for having a son. I wondered if I could also get married. Children seemed quite interesting.
Just as the two were talking and teasing the baby, suddenly a white carrier pigeon flew into the yard.
Lin Chen's face changed, he jumped into the air and caught the flying pigeon.
As soon as he saw the carrier pigeon, he immediately showed his joy: "It turns out that it is the pigeon we raised."
Mei Changsu also looked anxious: "It should be Zhen Ping who brought the letter back. Take it out and have a look."
Zhen Ping followed Zhou Chen to fight on the front line, but he would write back every once in a while. He had received three letters so he was relatively aware of the situation on the front line.
Lin Chen took out the letter without delay, then sat next to Mei Changsu and read it together.
Soon, they both smiled.
"Good boy, you're great. You actually accomplished such a big thing." Lin Chen shouted in surprise.
Mei Changsu also showed a happy expression: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen over there. It seems that Dayu is doomed to fail this time."
The letter was indeed sent back by Zhen Ping. The content was limited, but very important.
The most important point is that when the war between Daliang and Dayu was tense, Dayu actually invited Xuan Bu, who was ranked first on the Langya Master List.
It was after Xuan Bu arrived that Zhou Chen took the initiative to challenge Xuan Bu and challenged him to a battle at Meiling.
This may seem like a one-on-one challenge between the martial arts world, but it is also a war between Daliang and Dayu, because both sides have suffered heavy losses, but no one wants to retreat, and both are afraid of more damage, so this battle is not abrupt, and the result is very likely to determine the course of this war.
Zhen Ping's letter said that the battle between Zhou Chen and Xuan Bu lasted for a long time, with several draws in the middle. Finally, after three days of fighting, Zhou Chen made a better move and defeated Xuan Bu, and blew out one of Xuan Bu's eyes.
Mei Changsu said in a deep voice: "Although Zhen Ping didn't tell me the process, it seems that Xiaochen's victory was not easy. We still underestimated this Xuanbu who is the best in the world."
Zhou Chen had fought with Meng Zhi, the second best in the world, a long time ago, and defeated Meng Zhi within a hundred moves. But even so, it took him three days to defeat Xuan Bu. You can imagine how strong Xuan Bu is.
Lin Chen said: "In fact, before this, even our Langya Pavilion didn't know how strong Xuan Bu was, but I still know Xiaochen. He must have suffered a lot of setbacks this time, but fortunately the result is good. It seems that it's time to change the Langya Master List."
Mei Changsu put the letter away and said, "I will give it to Aunt Han and Gong Yu when I go to Zhou's house later. They may be more worried about Xiaochen than we are."
After such a long time, the Wuchenghou Mansion has been rebuilt, and Xiao Zhihan also moved back to the Wuchenghou Mansion with her large family.
"And I also need to go to the East Palace to tell Jingyan the news. The imperial messenger will definitely not be as fast as ours."
One is sending messages by flying pigeons, and the other is sending messages by express post at a distance of 800 miles. In fact, it is hard to say which one is faster or slower.
Because homing pigeons cannot fly all day long, they also need to eat and drink, and there is also uncertainty. If they encounter hunters or natural enemies, they can be gone in an instant.
When sending messages through the post station, horses and people can be changed constantly, so less time is wasted.
However, their carrier pigeons are different from ordinary carrier pigeons. They are specially bred and have more endurance than ordinary carrier pigeons, so their speed is slightly faster than that of the post stations.
When Jamel Xiao learned the news, he was overjoyed. In the past few months, he hardly had a good night's sleep because the pressure was too great.
During this period of dictatorship, he truly understood that being an emperor was not so easy.
Especially since his current situation is even more special, if any mistakes occur during his administration, he will become a sinner of Daliang.
So now that I know the war will end in victory, the pressure is suddenly relieved a lot.
However, although he was happy, he was still waiting for good news from the court, and at the same time was thinking about how to respond next.
Although he managed to defend his territory in the end after being besieged by various countries this time, the military suffered heavy losses and the money and food in the national treasury were almost exhausted. He would have many headaches in the future.
Meiling!
Since arriving at the front line, this is not the first time Zhou Chen has come to Meiling. The battle between him and Xuan Bu a few days ago took place in Meiling.
But this time was different. He came with Zhen Ping and some of the remaining former members of the Chiyan clan. Their purpose of coming here was to pay tribute to the 70,000 loyal souls of the Chiyan clan who were buried here more than a decade ago.
Moreover, for Zhou Chen, this place means even more to him, because this is where he came to this world.
Chapter 877: Killing Emperor Liang, a few years later
Winter has not yet passed, and Meiling Mountain is located in the north, so the climate is still relatively cold. The ground is covered with snow, but the scenery is still extremely beautiful.
Looking at the snow in front of him, Zhou Chen's thoughts involuntarily went back to more than ten years ago.
When he first came into this world, the weather was similar to it now, with the same snow all over the sky.
But back then there was war and smoke, but now everything is quiet.
Arriving at the same cliff, Zhou Chen was a little dazed, remembering the dangerous situation he encountered when he first came here.
"Brother Chen, was this the place where you all fought against Dayu?"
Yan Yujin stood behind Zhou Chen and asked curiously, and Xiao Jingrui next to him asked the same.
Compared to when he first came to the front line, Yan Yujin now looks much more mature. Although he is still a little jumpy, after several months of training in the army, he has greatly improved in all aspects.
In places that cannot be seen from the outside, he actually has several more wounds on his body, all of which were left during the battle.
Not only him, Xiao Jingrui is the same.
Although both of them have strong martial arts skills, their combat effectiveness is greatly weakened on a large-scale battlefield. Especially during sieges, they still have to rely more on experience and cooperation. They cannot survive alone.
Zhou Chen looked at the scene in front of him, and said slowly: "It's not all. The battle between us and Dayu back then was longer than this time, and the battle line was also longer. Meiling is only the place where the final battle will be won. .”
"However, compared to the bloody battle with Dayu, for us old members of the Red Flame, the bloody battle that followed was more impressive. In that battle, we were slaughtered by our own people. You can't imagine how desperate everyone was at that time."
Even the bloody battle with the 200,000-strong Dayu imperial army did not cause any fear among the Chiyan army.
However, they were later surrounded and suppressed by the Western Border Army led by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang, which made the people of the Red Flame Army feel despair.
For those strong men, no enemy is scary; the only scary thing is the one who stabs them in the back.
Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin didn't dare to say anything. They both knew how reluctant Zhou Chen was to talk about what happened back then.
Although Zhou Chen had just traveled through time at that time and didn't know many of the 70,000 people in the Red Flame Army, he still had great admiration for these people in his heart.
This time we come here to pay tribute to the dead souls.
Asking his men to take out the prepared things, Zhou Chen began to burn paper and offer sacrifices seriously...
They stayed here for a whole day, and only in the late afternoon, when it was getting dark, did Zhou Chen take everyone away.
Another two months passed, and Dayu had already withdrawn its troops, which also meant that the war here was completely over.
Zhou Chen and Meng Zhi also received an order from the capital, asking them to return to Beijing as soon as possible to report.
So Zhou Chen and Meng Zhi didn't delay, after arranging everything, they rushed to the capital as quickly as possible.
In a blink of an eye, several months passed.
It had been some time since Zhou Chen returned to the capital. When he first came back, he received rewards from the court. Although there was no change in his title, his official position was promoted to a second-rank official and was granted the title of General of Cavalry.
Meng Zhi also received a reward, which was higher than Zhou Chen's. People like Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin, who had made military achievements and had good backgrounds, were also promoted.
Zhou Chen was not too interested in these things, because he did not go to the battlefield for these things, but more for completing side quests and his family. It would be a good thing to get a promotion, but even if he could not get promoted, he would not care too much.
He originally thought that he could complete the remaining eight missions through this war, but in the end only one was settled, and there was no system bug at all.
Therefore, in order to complete this side quest, he would have to participate in at least seven more wars involving more than 10,000 people.
After returning to the capital, except for the necessary court attendances, Zhou Chen basically stayed at home with his mother, wife and children, and lived a very comfortable life.
"Daddy, daddy, hold me."
Dabao staggered to Zhou Chen and asked him to hold him. Zhou Chen laughed and picked him up.
Both sons are now one and a half years old. They are developing very well and can walk, run and talk. However, they can only say simple one or two words.
When Xiaobao saw his brother being picked up by Zhou Chen, he also shouted for his daddy to hold him, so Zhou Chen also picked him up, one in each hand, without any effort.
Although he had already gone out to fight when the two children were less than ten months old, the two children had limited memories of him.
But not long after he came back, he became familiar with the two children. He had been a father many times and was also an excellent pediatrician, so he knew very well how to get along with children and it was quite easy for him to coax his two sons.
Seeing how close the two children are to Zhou Chen, Xiao Zhihan and Gong Yu sometimes feel jealous, saying that they serve them every day, but are not as popular as their father Zhou Chen.
After playing with the two children for a while, Zhou Chen sat down with Mei Changsu to drink tea.
"I really didn't realize you were so good at coaxing children."
Mei Changsu said to Zhou Chen with a smile. He felt that he was quite patient in this regard, but Zhou Chen seemed to be more patient than him, and he also understood children's psychology better than him.
Zhou Chen said: "Practice makes perfect."
"You say that as if you have taken care of many children."
Mei Changsu didn't care either. After chatting for a while, his face suddenly became serious.
"I have news to tell you. There are rumors in the palace that our Majesty's health has deteriorated seriously recently and he may not have much time left."
At the end of his speech, his expression became complicated, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.
Zhou Chen said: "Really? It seems that he still hates us in his heart, otherwise, he would not have stopped me from entering the palace to help him treat his illness at this time."
Emperor Liang was very clear about his medical skills. He could even extend the life of the dying Empress Dowager by three months. Xiao Xuan's physique must be much stronger than that of the Empress Dowager.
But Xiao Xuan did not summon him to the palace for treatment. It is conceivable that he still felt upset about what happened. He felt that Lin Shu and Zhou Chen had ruined his old age.
Mei Changsu sighed, "In the final analysis, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven. He agreed to the retrial because he was forced to do so. If he had a choice, he would rather kill us than retry the Chiyan case."
"Since you know everything, why are you still so unhappy? A person like this is not worth your affection at all."
"After all, we have been together for more than ten years. He was indeed very nice to me when we were young. Even if I resented him in my heart, I still felt uncomfortable when he was dying."
Zhou Chen understood Mei Changsu's psychology, but did not try to comfort him because he really couldn't put it into words.
late at night!
A figure was moving in the capital at an extremely fast speed and soon flew into the palace wall. Although there were countless guards in the palace, no one noticed this figure.
Zhou Chen, dressed in black, seemed to blend into the night. He soon arrived at the palace, and came to the harem with familiarity, and found the bedroom of Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang.
There were still many lights in the dark night inside the palace, and most of the palaces were quiet and very quiet.
Zhou Chen had been to the palace many times and was somewhat familiar with the harem, especially the palace where Xiao Xuan lived, which he had already figured out.
During the day, Mei Changsu told him that Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang was seriously ill. He kept it in mind. At night, he immediately took action and went to the palace.
He came here with only one purpose, which was to meet Xiao Xuan and make his thoughts clear.
The palace where Xiao Xuan was located was very quiet, but there were at least hundreds of imperial guards surrounding the palace.
Zhou Chen's martial arts had reached the pinnacle. Even though he was heavily surrounded, he spent some time and successfully sneaked in.
Relying on his keen hearing, he quickly distinguished that Xiao Xuan was the only one in the hall, but there were many people waiting for orders outside the hall.
After knowing that there was no one inside, Zhou Chen felt relieved and used his body skills to sneak into the hall.
Under his control, he made almost no sound as he moved, and slowly walked to the couch.
Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang was seen lying on the bed, breathing heavily, and he was currently sleeping.
Zhou Chen hadn't seen Emperor Liang for a long time. The Emperor Liang at this moment was completely different from the high-spirited Xiao Xuan when Zhou Chen first came to the capital.
Even when Xiao Xuan is sleeping, one can tell that he looks unwell, his breathing is not steady, and his body is fatter than before, but it is obviously just false fat.
Just as Mei Changsu said, Xiao Xuan was already suffering from a very serious illness at this time. Even with the treatment of the imperial physician, it would probably take only one or two months for him to recover.
Zhou Chen just stood quietly in front of Xiao Xuan's bed. Perhaps he felt something or was feeling unwell, Xiao Xuan suddenly frowned and opened his sleepy eyes.
Xiao Xuan, who had just opened his eyes, had cloudy eyes and did not immediately notice Zhou Chen who was very close to him. Instead, he was stunned for a while before suddenly seeing that he was shrouded in a shadow.
The next moment, his eyes widened and when he saw Zhou Chen, his face suddenly showed fear and he was about to scream.
Zhou Chen struck out with all his strength, and directly touched Xiao Xuan's dumb acupoint, making him speechless and unable to make a sound.
"It's been a long time, Your Majesty."
Zhou Chen showed a faint smile, and took the initiative to say hello, the voice was very low, but Xiao Xuan could hear it clearly.
