Chapter 959: Friends Come

Ten days later.

With the concerted efforts of everyone, the main hall of the court meeting has begun to take shape, the outer wall of the palace has been built, and even the mountain road leading to the palace has also built steps; Such a large amount of work was completed in just over 40 days, and the high efficiency was really beyond Zhou Chen's expectations.

Zhou Chen made routine rounds as usual, and was very satisfied with everyone's enthusiastic attitude towards work; During the inspection, he did not forget to care about everyone, which made everyone's hearts warm and their emotions were unprecedentedly high.

When Zhou Chen was inspecting, he saw a person running over in a hurry, and when he arrived in front of Zhou Chen, the man hurriedly said, "See the king." ”

This person, Zhou Chen has a little impression, it is Yue Zhishan, the chief of the guard arranged by Liu Wuchang who is responsible for the security inside and outside the palace; Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Get up!" What happened? Why the rush? ”

"King Qiyu, dozens of miles down the mountain, I found a group of troops approaching the Rocky Mountain Range." Yue Zhishan hurriedly replied.

"The army?" Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What kind of army?" Is the survey clear? ”

"It is very clear that the lowly officer carefully interrogated the person who reported it; He was very sure that this army was the army of Filhan City, numbering about eight hundred men, and the leader was a man of great build, not very old, about thirty years old. Yue Zhishan nodded affirmatively and said.

"The army of Philhan? More than 800 people? ”

Zhou Chen muttered to himself with a puzzled face, he really couldn't figure out what the city lord of Philhan was going to do? At the beginning, the lord of Filhan agreed to let him settle in the Troubled Stone Mountains, why did he send people here now? Could it be that you came to congratulate you? No, as the lord of the city, he came to congratulate, and if it spreads, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep his position as the lord of the city. Come to suppress? Scold...... Just because more than 800 people want to exterminate thousands of their own people, this is tantamount to looking for death.

"This king knows, closely observe the movements of this army, and report it at any time." Zhou Chen speculated, but he didn't expect the intentions of the city lord of Philhan, so he gave an order to Yue Zhishan, summoned another person, and ordered: "Immediately notify the national teacher, General Liu and others, let them go to the main hall quickly, this king has important matters to discuss." ”

"Yes."

After giving the order, Zhou Chen walked towards the main hall with steps.

After waiting for almost half a pillar of incense in the main hall, Tianxie and Liu Wuchang hurriedly came, and as soon as they entered the main hall, everyone saluted Zhou Chen, and when Zhou Chen asked them to get up, Tianxi took the lead and asked: "Wang, what happened to summon Lao Chen and others in such a hurry?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhou Chen nodded and told Tianxian and the others about the situation reported by Yue Zhishan.

Hearing Zhou Chen's story, the faces of Tianxi and the others were filled with doubts; The army of Philhan City came, but only sent more than 800 people, what is this doing? Except for the people who follow Zhou Chen, I'm afraid that no one knows Zhou Chen's true strength better than the city lord of Philhan, not to mention eight hundred, even if it is eight thousand, I'm afraid they will come to die, after all, Zhou Chen and they occupy the favorable terrain of the Rocky Mountain Range.

I don't understand.

I really can't figure it out.

"Wang, this matter is too strange, and the old minister can't figure out what's going on for a while." After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on, shook his head, and continued: "However, whatever this army wants, it is necessary to pay close attention to its movements; If misconduct is discovered, it will be eliminated immediately. ”

"The king has sent someone to keep a close watch on this army." Zhou Chen nodded and said.

"It's not clear what this army is for, and there's no other way." Heavenly Evil sighed deeply and said.

"You are as the king thinks, although the king can easily send troops to take the city of Philhan; But if you really do it, it will definitely cause the siege of the surrounding city lords, and even attract the attention of the Heavenly City, and it will be difficult to deal with the enemy in the back at that time. ”

"What the king said is very true."

Heavenly Evil nodded in agreement, and said worriedly: "But the old minister still thinks that he must strike first, and now that the Troubled Stone Mountain Range, which was originally cursed by the heavens, has become a blessed land, and the king has established himself as a king here, these things will naturally spread out, maybe the nearby city lords have learned about it, and they will definitely take action." ”

"You're right, these kings are also thinking about these things." Zhou Chen nodded, and said embarrassedly: "But now the palace needs to be built, and the troops are all used on it, but the troops are trained in turns, so the combat effectiveness will definitely not be able to capture the city for a while; If the palace is attacked by a nearby city lord, it will be troublesome. ”

"Wang thinks very much, this matter is indeed a bit tricky." Heavenly Evil agreed.

Just as the ministers arrived to discuss what to do next, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the guards guarding the gate of the main hall walked into the main hall and knelt down on one knee to report: "King Qiyu, Commander Yue is asking for a meeting outside, saying that there is something important to report." ”

"Xuan."

"Yes."

The guard replied and left the main hall, and Yue Zhishan walked in, knelt on one knee, and shouted, "See my king." ”

"Get up! Yue Zhishan, what happened again? ”

"King Qiyu, the army of Philhan City is encamped three miles below the mountain. In addition, Morin, the general in charge of the army, came to see him, saying that he was an old friend of the king and wanted to catch up with the king. ”

"Where is he?" Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment and asked.

"It's just outside the palace."

"He's coming alone?"

"Yes."

"Ask him to come in."

"Yes."

When Yue Zhishan was ordered to ask Mo Lin to leave the main hall, Zhou Chen and the others had a deep puzzle on their faces, and the matter became more and more weird. Mo Lin led more than 800 people to the Troubled Stone Mountain Range, and he didn't order anyone to pass it on beforehand, so he came alone, what did he do?

Not long after, Mo Lin entered the main hall under the leadership of the guards, saw Zhou Chen, hugged his fists and said, "Zhou Yuma, long time no see." ”

"This is the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you are just a general of a city, and when you see the king, you must perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister." Liu Wuchang got up and said sharply.

"Heh......"

Mo Lin smiled indifferently, gestured to the clothes on his body with his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhou Yuma, I am not wearing armor today, and I am not representing the general of Philhan City, but I came to visit as a friend. ”

"Friends?" Zhou Chen smiled indifferently and said disdainfully: "When did this king make friends with you?" ”

Forehead......

Maureen looked embarrassed, unable to say a word that was stifled; Looking at Mo Lin's embarrassed expression, Zhou Chen smiled heartily, got up from the chair, walked towards Mo Lin with steps, came to Mo Lin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This king is joking, General Mo Lin can come, this king is naturally very happy." ”

Hearing this, Mo Lin's embarrassed face softened, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Juma can not forget this friend in Xia, I am really grateful." ”

"General Morin said with a smile, come here, prepare a feast, this king will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for General Morin." Zhou Chen ordered.
