Chapter 835: Sudden attack, Prince Jing was defeated, Xiaogushan Savage
Prince Jing, as the seventh son of Emperor Liang, was one of the least favored and least valued princes among many princes.
He has been fighting abroad all year round and has made great achievements in battle, but he is rarely rewarded by Emperor Liang. He is not even named a prince when he is over 30 years old. This is the only one among the many adult descendants of Emperor Liang.
The low status of concubine Jing was only part of the reason. The more reason was that he was not favored by Emperor Liang. Throughout the year, he only saw Emperor Liang only a handful of times.
However, although Prince Jing was not taken seriously by Emperor Liang, he was still capable, especially in leading troops in battles. He was extremely talented. Over the years, he guarded the border, resisted enemy invasions many times, killed countless enemies, and gained numerous military exploits.
He is also respected by military generals.
From Zhou Chen's point of view, if a prince who can lead troops in battle and achieve great military exploits becomes emperor in the future, his rule over the military will definitely be much stronger than that of a prince who has never been on the battlefield.
It's just that Prince Jing is too upright and can't tolerate sand in his eyes. This is a good thing for an emperor, but it is also not a good thing.
Zhou Chen has not seen Langya Ranking Two, but he has seen it when he was watching videos. Daliang seems to be developing well in the hands of Prince Jing, which shows that Prince Jing is indeed qualified to be the emperor.
But Zhou Chen still never thought of being loyal to Prince Jing like Mei Changsu. To be precise, he would not be loyal to anyone.
In fact, he feels that for the vast majority of people who have experienced the baptism of modern society, the possibility of being loyal to one person like the ancients is almost zero.
Not long after the invitation was submitted, someone led them into Prince Jing's Mansion.
Prince Jing's Mansion is very big, at least several times larger than Su's Mansion.
Although Emperor Liang did not want to see Prince Jing, Prince Jing, as the prince of the royal family surnamed Xiao, still received all the necessary treatment. Prince Jing's Mansion may not be as good as the East Palace and Prince Yu's Mansion, but looking at the capital, it is also among the top royal residences.
In the 21st century, Prince Jing's Mansion alone would be comparable to the area of a medium-sized residential area.
Mei Changsu, Fei Liu and Li Gang, led by servants, walked into Prince Jing's Mansion. As soon as they passed through the corridor, they saw Prince Jing coming over with a child, Xiao Tingsheng, and followed them
Salute each other.
Zhou Chen used his superb Qinggong skills to sneak into Prince Jing's Mansion without being discovered by anyone in the process.
Mei Changsu knew that Zhou Chen had this ability, so he let him sneak in as a Rakshasa.
Of course, he also had a small idea, wanting to see if the guards at Prince Jing's Mansion could detect Zhou Chen who had sneaked in.
Mei Changsu chatted with Prince Jing for a few words, and then took him into the back room to talk. As for Li Gang and Fei Liu, they followed Xiao Tingsheng to the martial arts arena.
Zhou Chen didn't listen to what Mei Changsu was talking to Prince Jing, but followed Fei Liu and the others to the martial arts arena secretly.
As the prince, Prince Jing is qualified to raise soldiers. At this time, there are hundreds of soldiers practicing in the martial arts field.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, Prince Jing's soldiers are naturally not weak, but what they are strong at is fighting on the battlefield. In terms of individual combat ability, they are actually not outstanding. It's just that as Prince Jing's subordinates, all of them are Jing.
Wang Jingruo is a god.
No, Fei Liu talked about martial arts with Xiao Tingsheng. He was so naive that he didn't care about the occasion and directly said that Prince Jing's martial arts was very poor.
How could Prince Jing's subordinates tolerate their master being looked down upon? They immediately became angry and wanted to clear Prince Jing's name, so they challenged Fei Liu.
This was exactly what Fei Liu wanted. He was eager for someone to fight with him, so he immediately agreed, and then started a martial arts competition with the generals under Prince Jing.
Zhou Chen hid in the building and watched the competition in the martial arts arena from a distance. He said it was a competition, but in fact it was just a one-sided beating by Fei Liu.
At the beginning, these people were still concerned about their appearance, thinking that Fei Liu was young and attacked one by one. However, after being defeated easily several times, they started attacking two by two together, but the result still could not be changed.
When Mei Changsu and Prince Jing came to the martial arts arena, they happened to see Fei Liu competing with someone. The man Fei Liu fought with was Qi Meng, a famous general under Prince Jing's command.
Mei Changsu and Prince Jing looked at this scene with smiles on their faces.
"It's rare to see Fei Liu so happy."
Prince Jing also smiled and said: "It seems that he is very interested in that knife."
Mei Changsu said: "His Highness also noticed it?"
"If he hadn't been interested in that knife, Qi Meng wouldn't have been able to survive three moves in his hands."
Although Prince Jing's martial arts was not top-notch, it was not weak either. Naturally, he could see Fei Liu's concessions and Qi Meng's difficulties.
On the martial arts field, Qi Meng saw that he couldn't touch Fei Liu. He was filled with anger, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he directly used a vicious move.
He was seen holding the knife with both hands, pointing it at Feiliu, and suddenly pressed the mechanism on the handle of the knife, and a hidden weapon shot at Feiliu at an extremely fast speed.
Fei Liu didn't panic at all. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hidden weapon. When he looked closely, he saw that it was a sharp knife that had been shrunk countless times, which made him smile happily.
Qi Meng didn't expect that Feiliu was so fierce, that his killing move had no effect at all. He felt his face was dull, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Mei Changsu on the general stage. He became fierce again, pointed the blade at Mei Changsu, and pressed the button again.
Get off the machine.
"Ding!"
There was a sharp roar of metal vibration, and only a flash of sword light could be seen striking Mei Changsu.
Fei Liu, who was playing with a knife, saw this scene and looked horrified. He tried to chase after him with all his strength, but it was too late.
Qi Meng's move shocked everyone, especially Prince Jing, whose expression changed drastically and he reflexively moved his head to the side.
"Boom!"
The concealed weapon missed Mei Changsu and hit the wooden stake behind him.
Mei Changsu never showed any fear or fear from beginning to end. He even stood firm and did not move at all.
This scene suddenly felt very familiar to him, as if he had seen the scene more than ten years ago, and he seemed to be so reckless.
He didn't respond, but Fei Liu was furious and turned around to look for Qi Meng, but was stopped by Mei Changsu with a shout.
"Fei Liu!"
Qi Meng saw the awkward atmosphere and didn't realize what his problem was. Instead, he laughed.
"I missed it, I missed it..."
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind Mei Changsu, Prince Jing and others. The speed was extremely fast, and he arrived in front of Qi Meng in just a few breaths.
This sudden scene caught Qi Meng, who was about to explain, completely unexpected. The next moment, he felt that his body was out of control.
"boom!"
Under everyone's shocked eyes, they saw Qi Meng's tall and burly body being suddenly lifted up and then slammed to the ground.
"puff!"
Qi Meng opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Only at this moment did everyone in the martial arts arena react.
I saw that the place where Qi Meng was originally standing had been replaced by another person. This person was tall and wearing dark robes, but the most eye-catching thing was that there was a demon-like mask on his face.
Qi Meng fell to the ground at this time, and the mysterious man wearing a mask stepped on him, making him unable to move.
"Let go of Qi Meng!"
Around the martial arts arena, all the soldiers who had a good relationship with Qi Meng were all yelling angrily. Many of them even drew their weapons and pointed them at the mysterious man. As long as they gave an order, they would rush over and kill Qi Meng.
Come to the rescue.
Prince Jing suddenly shouted: "Stop."
When the officers and soldiers who were about to move heard their master's shouts, they all stopped reflexively and turned to look at Prince Jing.
Prince Jing, who was already in a bad mood because of Qi Meng's sudden attack, now became even more ugly.
He looked at Zhou Chen, who was wearing a Rakshasa mask. The opponent was so fast that he didn't even react, but when he saw Zhou Chen's mask, he immediately recognized Zhou Chen.
Deputy leader of Jiangzuo League, Rakshasa!
Although he doesn't travel around the world, he still knows the people on the top ten master list, especially such an iconic figure as Rakshasa.
He said to Mei Changsu: "Mr. Su, Qi Meng is my subordinate. I apologize to you for his behavior. Can you let Qi Meng go first?"
Zhou Chen's sudden attack surprised Mei Changsu. He wasn't afraid just now because he knew that Qi Meng didn't dare to really hurt him. The most he could do was scare him.
But who is he? How many times has he experienced life and death, and why is he still afraid of such a fright?
Prince Jing has spoken, and of course he will not deny face.
"Rakshasa, let him go."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he didn't say anything. He raised his hand and kicked Qi Meng away, and he fell into the crowd.
This move made all the soldiers excited, and even Prince Jing's eyebrows twitched a few times.
Mei Changsu also felt helpless. He knew that Qi Meng's behavior just now angered Zhou Chen. With Zhou Chen's character, let alone Prince Jing, even Emperor Liang would not give him face.
After Zhou Chen kicked Qi Meng away, he didn't stop any longer. He used Qing Kung Fu and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes. It felt like he had brushed off his clothes and hid his skills and fame.
It wasn't until Zhou Chen disappeared that Prince Jing asked: "Mr. Su, is that Rakshasa who was the deputy sect leader of your Jiangzuo Alliance just now and ranked fifth on the top ten master list?"
It was obvious that Zhou Chen had been around Mei Changsu all along, but he didn't feel it at all, and even the hundreds of soldiers of the huge Prince Jing's Mansion didn't notice him at all.
Just imagine, if Zhou Chen were to assassinate him suddenly, who would be able to react?
this is too scary.
Mei Changsu said: "He is indeed a Rakshasa. Your Highness, don't blame him. He is withdrawn and behaves erratically. Just now he just saw that I was in danger, so he acted like this."
Prince Jing didn't know what to say. Qi Meng's behavior just now was indeed too much.
"Su Mou has admired His Highness's military style for a long time, but when he saw it today, he was greatly disappointed. The military discipline is so lax, how can he win His Majesty's favor? It seems that His Highness's dignity among his subordinates is not as good as mine, the leader of the Jianghu Gang. Today, Su really let Su
It was an eye-opener.”
This sentence was simply heart-wrenching. Prince Jing's face turned extremely ugly, but Mei Changsu didn't pay attention. He said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Zhou Chen returned to the carriage, holding two apples in his hand, and handed one to Fei Liu.
"How about it, is today's show of force enough?"
Mei Changsu looked helpless: "Don't even discuss it with me. No matter how rude Qi Meng is, he is still a member of Prince Jing. You are slapping Prince Jing in the face."
Zhou Chen said nonchalantly: "You are my confidence in overturning the case. If something happens to you, what will I do? I only care about your face, otherwise I will kill Qi Meng."
"Okay, you are great, you are amazing, okay?"
Mei Changsu had nothing to do against Zhou Chen, but in fact he was still very happy in his heart, because even if Zhou Chen acted recklessly, he was standing up for him. How could he really blame Zhou Chen.
With the help of Mei Changsu, Prince Jing quickly completed the trial of the Binzhou land invasion case of Duke Qing, which also brought Prince Jing into the sight of the court officials.
Immediately after the corpse hiding case in Lanyuan, the minister of household affairs, Lou Zhijing, was sued and fell.
Mei Changsu started another plan non-stop, using the Yangliuxin brothel to plot against He Jingzhong, the official minister, and commit a brothel murder case.
He Jingzhong's son He Wenxin killed Wen Yuanbo's son Qiu Ze. In fact, neither of these two people were good people. They were both prodigal sons among the dandy children, and their hands were not clean. This is why Mei Changsu calculated without any pressure.
These days, Mu Qing and the others have mahjong, so they don’t come to Zhou Mansion to play with Zhou Chen very much.
Zhou Chen was also idle and bored. He was still thinking about Nie Feng in Xiaogushan. He couldn't find it last time, but he didn't give up. Anyway, he had nothing to do recently, so he told Gong Yu and went to Xiaogushan again.
Mountain.
He thought that this trip to Xiaogushan would be the same as last time, with nothing gained, but the result was beyond his expectation.
Before he arrived at Xiaogushan, he learned something from the nearby villagers. It was said that there was a monster in Xiaogushan recently, which scared and injured several people. Although no one was killed, it still scared the surrounding people.
None of the villagers dared to go near Xiaogushan.
As soon as he heard the news, Zhou Chen was immediately shocked. It was unmistakable, absolutely unmistakable. The monster in Xiaogushan must be Nie Feng who was poisoned by the fire-cold poison.
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up his energy and ran towards Xiaogushan at an extremely fast speed.
When Zhou Chen arrived at Xiaogushan, he immediately went to Nie Feng's tombstone, and then started searching Xiaogushan with the tombstone as the center.
Finally, half an hour later, he found a humanoid monster. When he saw it, the humanoid monster was holding a hare and gnawing wildly. Zhou Chen frowned at the sight.
He could already conclude that this savage must be Nie Feng. The Nie Feng in his memory was the deputy general of the Red Flame Army, who became famous at a young age and was magnificent.
But looking at the savage in front of me, the poison of fire and cold is really terrifying, and it has tortured such a powerful man into this state.
With a heavy heart, Zhou Chen approached step by step. When he was within ten feet, the savage who was drinking blood suddenly turned his head.
The moment he turned his head, Zhou Chen saw his appearance clearly. His face was covered with hair and blood, and he really looked no different from a wild beast.
Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were also poisoned by the fire-cold poison at the beginning, and their bodies were covered with white hair before they were detoxified. However, they had people to serve them, so they never became as embarrassed as Nie Feng in front of them.
"ah……"
When the wild man Nie Feng saw Zhou Chen, he suddenly let out a loud roar. The roar was full of violence, but it also contained fear.
Without any hesitation, he dropped the hare in his hand and was about to turn around and run away, but Zhou Chen suddenly shouted loudly.
"Nie Feng!"
This name seemed to have magic power. The wild man Nie Feng, who was about to escape, froze up and stared at Zhou Chen with his beast-like eyes.
"Oh, ah, ah..."
Zhou Chen walked in slowly. Although the wild man Nie Feng was frightened and stepped back step by step, he did not run away. He still looked at Zhou Chen and let out a strange scream.
"Your name is Nie Feng, General Nie Feng of Daliang Gale. Brother Nie, do you still remember me? I am Zhou Chen, Lin Shu's lieutenant. Twelve years ago, in the battle of Meiling, Xiao Shu and I also suffered the same fate as you.
The poison of fire and cold, in order to detoxify, we went through the process of peeling off the skin and crushing the bones, changing our appearance and becoming what we are now."
"I can understand your pain. I am really Zhou Chen. We are friends. Let me help you."
"Ah, ah, ah..."
The wild man Nie Feng's beast-like eyes seemed to have light, and he was still roaring, but he did not retreat anymore, but allowed Zhou Chen to walk in front of him.
Zhou Chen grabbed the hand of wild man Nie Feng, looked at his hairy arm, and showed the cards belonging to Nie Feng.
"This is your card, Nie Feng. You are Nie Feng. I know you are speechless. It doesn't matter. I understand what you mean. Come back with me and I can heal you."
"Woo, wow..."
Nie Feng suddenly shed tears and fell to his knees, wailing in grief. After a long time, he slowly calmed down, but his body was still shaking, as if he was in great pain.
.
Zhou Chen took out a medicine bottle from his arms, took out a pill, and motioned for Nie Feng to open his mouth.
Nie Feng did not hesitate, slowly opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.
Zhou Chen told him what happened back then.
"Back then, we defeated the Chongqing Emperor's army, but we were attacked by Xie Yu and Xia Jiang. All the 70,000 Red Flame soldiers became heroic souls. Only a few dozen of me, Xiao Shu and Wei Zheng were left alive. Now we
They all gathered in the capital for what happened that year..."
After a long time, Nie Feng's trembling body slowly stopped. It was because the medicine had taken effect.
"Twelve years later, we finally meet again. Come back to the capital with me. Xiao Shu will be very happy to see you."
Although Nie Feng was speechless, he had regained some sense now. When he heard Zhou Chen's words, he nodded vigorously.
"Not yet. When it gets dark, I will take you into the city."
Zhou Chen took Nie Feng to the edge of the stream, asked him to clean his body, and then took off one of his clothes and gave it to him.
…………
In the dead of night, Zhou Chen carried Nie Feng to the vicinity of the Jinling City Gate.
With the experience from the last time, he observed for a while this time, successfully entered the city again, and then went straight to Zhou Mansion.
Although it was past midnight, Zhou Chen did not come back, and Gong Yu had no intention of falling asleep. He held up the lamp and helped Zhou Chen mend his clothes stitch by stitch.
In fact, these handiwork is not what she is good at, but if it is done for Zhou Chen, she feels happier than playing the piano.
When a strange sound came, Gong Yu immediately became energetic, put down the half-finished clothes in his hands, and opened the door.
But what surprised her was that Zhou Chen didn't come back alone, there was someone behind him.
When he saw the person behind Zhou Chen, he was immediately startled. He saw that the person was covered in white hair and looked like a white-haired monkey.
Although he was surprised, with Zhou Chen by his side, Gong Yu soon lost his fear and became more confused.
"Sir, what is this?"
Zhou Chen explained: "He is my old friend, General Nie Feng. The reason why he became like this is because he was poisoned by fire and cold just like me. Go and clean up the guest room. He will be there tonight."
Stay here with us and I will contact Xiao Shu tomorrow."
"I understand, sir."
Gong Yu didn't waste any time and immediately followed Zhou Chen's instructions.
Zhou Chen said to Nie Feng again: "You stay here tonight. I will take you to see Xiao Shu tomorrow. The blood has been prepared for you. If you have an attack at night, just drink the blood from the kettle."
Nie Feng took the medicine and was treated by Zhou Chen with pure Yang internal energy. His consciousness had recovered. He nodded vigorously when he heard Zhou Chen's words.
"Ah, ah, ugh..."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
After busying for a while and arranging Nie Feng's arrangements, Zhou Chen hugged Gong Yu and fell asleep. He was really tired after a hard day today.
In fact, when Zhou Chen came back with Nie Feng, Butler Lu had already discovered it. He didn't know who Nie Feng was, but he silently made a note in his mind to tell his master the information the next time they met.
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen asked Butler Lu to prepare the carriage, then took Nie Feng, who was wrapped in a robe, into the carriage and asked Butler Lu to drive to the Su Mansion.
Because of Mei Changsu's health, it was difficult to get up early in the morning during the cold winter months. As soon as he got up, Li Gang came over to report that Zhou Chen had arrived. He also restored Zhou Chen's words, saying that he had brought a
