Inside a dilapidated temple.

The sound of footsteps came, Ling Nan sat on the ground and slowly opened his eyes, and asked, "Did they chase after them?" ”

A member of the Qingwei Battalion stood still in front of Ling Nan, then knelt on one knee, and Shi Li said, "Lord Hui, after the investigation, the other party did not pursue. ”

Ling Nan nodded, and then said with a gloomy face: "We underestimated the combat power of the Wind Army, and more importantly, we didn't expect Zhao Chuan to be inside. ”

"That'...... My lord, are we going to ambush again? The Qingwei battalion officer asked.

"Forget it." Ling Nan raised his hand and said, "My internal strength is seriously depleted, and I need to breathe for a few days to recover, and I have no strength to fight anymore." Moreover, although the gold and silver were not robbed this time, the task was completed, and those who died in battle all had Chu army military badges, right? ”

"Yes." His men replied.

Ling Nan nodded, and stopped talking, but closed his eyes again and began to recuperate.

In the previous battle with Zhao Chuan, although he was not injured, when he retreated, in order to prevent Zhao Chuan from pursuing, he poured his sword body with internal force, and that sword qi also made him seriously consumed.

After another half a month, Liu Yuan crossed the Fengchu border, passed through Lingnan, and finally arrived in Fengzhou.

There was no danger along the way, the gold and silver were escorted to the palace, and after handing over to the treasury officials, Liu Yuan also went to the palace study as soon as possible to find Lu Chen to restore his life.

After arriving at the study, Liu Yuan knelt on the ground and saluted, and said: "See the king, Weichen has fulfilled his mission, and has included all the silver compensation of Chu into the treasury, and has come to repay my king's life." ”

Lu Chen waved his hand to signal him to get up, and then put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said, "The road is safe, right?" ”

After Liu Yuan stood up, he said: "Back to the king, I didn't meet the thieves along the way, but I met a group of people of unknown origin. ”

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Liu Yuan said: "This group of people is like an army, all of them are well-trained, and there are many masters among them, and their leaders are even more skilled, if there is no General Zhao Chuan, I am afraid that this batch of gold and silver will be robbed by them." ”

As he spoke, he added: "More importantly, we found the Chu Army military card on the corpse left by the other party. ”

"What?" Lu Chen's brows suddenly furrowed.

Liu Yuan said again: "But this matter ...... Weichen felt a little weird. But having said that, our country's troops in Hanyang and Sanjiangkou have already made Chu dissatisfied, and with the huge amount of silver lost this time, it is not impossible for Chu to rob back gold and silver at the border. ”

After listening to his analysis, Lu Chen first frowned, thought about it carefully, and then smiled faintly.

Seeing him laughing, Liu Yuan couldn't help but be confused, and couldn't help asking, "King, ...... this matter?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen raised his hand and interrupted him, "Huh? Whether this matter is related to the Chu army or not, we should not know. ”

Yes? Hearing this, Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, if this matter was really done by the Chu army, how could he stop! Isn't the king going to pursue it?

Seeing this, Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down, there is no need to mention this matter again." ”

"No...... Promise. Liu Yuan bowed and retreated.

And after he left the study, he did not leave the palace immediately, but went to see King Jing again.

In the back garden, King Jing was feeding the fish by the pond, and after Chen Qun came, he hurriedly stepped forward with small steps, and Shi Li said: "Weichen see Concubine Jingniang." ”

"Lord Chen doesn't need to be polite." King Jing said casually, and after throwing some fish food into the pool, she turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, that's ......"

As Chen Qun spoke, King Jing also began to walk towards the pavilion, he followed behind King Jing, bowed slightly, and said: "Recently, the king is preparing to confer the title ......of the four fierce generals, and this award, the military rank is extremely high, and it is also unprecedented."

At this time, the maid on the side also took the basin of water, and after King Jing cleaned his hands, he also picked up the teacup on the stone table, took a sip, and said, "This matter has been heard a little bit by the palace, what does Lord Chen want to say?" ”

As he spoke, King Jing also fixed his eyes on Chen Qun.

The latter glanced up at King Jing slightly, and then hurriedly lowered his head, Concubine Jing was too beautiful, he didn't dare to look at it so directly.

After a pause, he said: "Niangniang, this award is extremely important, if one or two generals of the Yuan Jingjun can be awarded, then ......."

Before he finished speaking, King Jing already understood what he meant, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Chen, Qingyang can be among the conferrers?" ”

Chen Qun thought for a while and said, "Judging from the current situation, General Qingyang should be able to get a position. ”

"Yes." King Jing nodded.

Chen Qun said again: "But Guan Ping ......"

Hearing this, King Jing glanced at him again, and said in a flat voice: "Guan Ping's military achievements are not enough, and there are many founding generals of the Wind Country, so it is not Guan Ping's turn." ”

"This ......"

King Jing smiled slightly: "Lord Chen, this palace doesn't dare to interfere in this matter, if there is nothing else, you can step down." ”

"This, Weichen retired." Chen Qun said helplessly.

The next morning.

"Xuan, Zhao Chuan enters the palace ~~~~"

"Xuan, Qingyang enters the palace ~~~~"

"Xuan, Wu Yue enters the palace ~~~~"

"Xuan, Xiahou Jie enters the palace ~~~~"

The royal order was passed down one by one, and soon, Zhao Chuan and the four of them entered the hall together, the four of them were all generals in the army, but at this time they were all dressed in official uniforms, and after entering the palace, they also knelt on the ground one after another, and said in unison: "See the king!" ”

"Get up." Lu Chen said with a smile, and it is not difficult to see from it that he is a little biased towards emphasizing martial arts over literature, and he loves generals more than civilian officials, especially Zhao Chuan and Qingyang.

Next, Lu Chen also began to ask Sima Wen to read out the edict and confer the title of the four fierce generals of the Wind Country, and this time the award of the title also had a far-reaching impact, establishing the status of the four in the Central Army of the Wind Country.

Wangcheng Prison.

The place where the historian Liu Han was imprisoned.

Liu Han's cell, bamboo slips are piled up, and the conditions are also very good, there is wine, meat, and books, saying that he is detained, but in fact he was asked to write "The Biography of Famous Generals". And after getting along these days, the prison guards are also very familiar with it.

"Hey, Lord Liu, the king has conferred the title of one of my country's four fierce generals, don't you know yet?" The jailer had nothing to say and chatted with Liu Han.

The latter continued to bury his head in the bamboo slips, and asked without raising his head: "Oh? Which four generals are they? ”

"General Zhao Chuan, General Qingyang, General Wuyue, and General Xiahoujie, what's the matter, isn't Lord Liu going to compile the four fierce generals into the book?" The jailer said.

Hearing this, Liu Han stopped what he was doing, glanced at the jailer, and then said with a smile: "Zhao Chuan and the others are martial artists, and they have the courage of a horseman, how can they be included in the famous generals." ”

"Cut! You're still in jail! The jailer pouted.

Liu Han shook his head, and then said: "By the way, recently, the official checked the classics and found that there were some problems with the information of Xu Jin, a famous general of the Lian State, and you reported it to your Shangguan, saying that I need the ...... of "Lian History"."
