In a blink of an eye, it was finally half a month, and Yu De came to Ye Chen's carriage and said, "We should be able to go to Zhenyuan Mansion this afternoon." "Really, Uncle Yu, I've been bored to death these days." Zhang Qian asked happily, she and Ye Chen have often chatted with Yu De in the past half a month, so the relationship with Yu De has become more familiar, and now they all call Yu De uncle. After all, Yu De is also in his forties, and it is more than enough to be their uncle.

Yu De nodded and said, "Well, soon." It can be there in half a day at most. When the time comes, if you don't have a place to live, I can help you find a place first. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Yu." Ye Chen said.

Immediately began to continue on the road, except for the time in Shangyuan Mansion for half a month, every time I spent it at the post station outside. Zhang Qian was bored in the car and asked Ye Chen to tell the story, and in the end, Ye Chen, who had no choice, had to start recalling the Snow White he heard when he was a child, and the sleeping beauty told her. In the end, Ye Chen found that this little girl was addicted, and if Ye Chen didn't tell her a story every day, she wouldn't go to sleep. "Brother, can you tell me a story?" Zhang Qian took Ye Chen's hand and said coquettishly. Zhang Qian now finds that as long as she is spoiled by her brother, then her brother will generally fulfill his wishes.

Ye Chen glanced at her and said, "It's not good, you have to listen to it again at night now, I have so many stories to tell you." In fact, Ye Chen's heart is more entangled than Zhang Qian's, and he finally understands a sentence: If you don't die, you won't die. I have to tell stories to coax her to sleep, but this little Nizi asks him to tell it every day, how can he have so many stories, not to mention that he didn't like these fairy tales when he was a child.

"Brother, how can you do this. I promise, I won't listen to it at night now. Zhang Qian continued to beg coquettishly.

"Come on, you've been saying this every day for the past few days, but you've not done it every time." Ye Chen expressed deep doubts about Zhang Qian's words, but now Zhang Qian's situation made him very happy. Because when he first met Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian was still a cowardly little girl. Although he had gone through so many things, Ye Chen found that he had far underestimated the endurance of this little girl, and Ye Chen was still thinking about how to make Zhang Qian forget the unhappy things that happened in the past, but this little girl had already forgotten everything, but he still remembered it.

Zhang Qian also found that her coquettishness didn't seem to be as good as before, and pouted: "Hmph, the bad brother doesn't like Qian'er anymore, so I ignore you." After saying that, he pretended to be angry and lay down next to him and went to sleep.

Ye Chen didn't speak, just remembered what he was going to do next. The last time I went through Zhang Qian's incident, Ye Chen found what he needed, that is, intelligence, all kinds of satellite positioning and all kinds of navigation and monitoring when he didn't cross over. But suddenly came here and there was nothing, so Ye Chen was not prepared for anything unexpected at all, what Ye Chen had to do next was to establish his own intelligence system, which didn't need to be big, but it was necessary to ensure that Zhang Qian must be protected at all times, and there must be no accidents.

"Young Master Ye, Lord Yu, please get off the car, you have already arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion." An officer and soldier ran over and said to Ye Chen outside the carriage.

Zhang Qian also woke up at this time and said in a daze: "Brother, are we here?" "Got it, let's go out." Ye Chen turned to look at Zhang Qian and said, "Yes, it's here." Hurry up and wake up and get out of the car with me. “

As soon as he got out of the car, Ye Chen was shocked, he had heard countless times about the grandeur of Zhenyuan Mansion, and he had seen various ancient cities on TV countless times. Now Ye Chen realized that he could only experience it by seeing it with his own eyes.

Ye Chen was in the carriage at the city gate, and he looked up and saw that the stone wall above was engraved with five words, "North Gate of Zhenyuan Mansion". It seems that this is the north gate of the four gates of Zhenyuan Mansion, it is said that the north gate of Zhenyuan Mansion is the northernmost place leading to the Qi country, I heard that there are often wars there, but in recent years it has slowly decreased. The south gate is generally used when entering the city, and the east and west gates will not be opened unless there is a war. "Brother, what a spectacular place, so beautiful." Zhang Qian got out of the car and couldn't help but say to Ye Chen.

Yu De saw them get out of the car and walked over, and asked, "How is it, the first time you came here, were you shocked?" ”

Ye Chen nodded and said, "It's indeed more magnificent than I imagined." ”

According to Ye Chen's visual observation, the city wall of Zhenyuan Mansion is at least twenty meters, and it is made of quite hard blue bricks, I don't know who built the city wall, and there are dragon patterns carved on it, and it is not spectacular to look up. Although some places have been repaired, it is even more solemn and majestic in Zhenyuanfu.

"Do you know the origin of Zhenyuan Mansion?" Yu De looked at the few people without speaking, and continued: "Thirty years ago, the orcs once mobilized 50,000 troops to attack here, and at that time, this place was not called Zhenyuan Mansion. The orc army went all the way south, invincible, and was about to attack half of Linzhou, at this time, the Qi government discussed and ordered Wang Zhitian, who was only twenty years old, to be the general, and led the only remaining 300,000 elite troops of the Wang family to reinforce the defeated Linzhou. According to past experience, even elite troops are barely undefeated in a war with orcs ten to one. A hundred battle divisions as powerful as the Qin State can also fight a thousand at most. ”

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "Then why didn't you send more people over at that time." Could it be that there are still many soldiers and horses in Linzhou? ”

"At that time, Linzhou originally had 500,000 soldiers and horses guarding here, but at the moment the city was broken, half of the 500,000 people were killed, and the remaining half were also deserters, and no one wanted to stay and die. Although General Wang was nominally here to rescue at that time, in fact, some people wanted to let the last bit of the Wang family's blood be cut off here, and those ministers in the court had already deployed two million troops in Xiazhou next door to wait for work, and they all gave up Linzhou at that time. Yu De sighed, his voice full of dissatisfaction.

"Uncle Yu, don't they care about the lives of the people?" Zhang Qian seemed to think of her own life experience, and she began to flee because the government didn't care about her parents at all, and finally died tragically in a foreign land. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my brother, I guess I would have turned into dry bones a long time ago.

"The common people are just dispensable in their eyes, and their own glory and wealth are what they care about." Yu De said.

Ye Chen squatted down and hugged Zhang Qian beside him in his arms and asked, "Then what happened?" ”

"Later," Yu De said this, his eyes suddenly filled with a strange light, and he continued: "Just when everyone thought that General Wang was going to die, General Wang led his soldiers to ambush in the Luoxia Mountains with leisure, sealing the entrance when the enemy army entered. Due to the heavy rain that happened to be in the summer, General Wang did not know how to artificially create a great flood, drowning tens of thousands of orcs, and only a few escaped. As a result, General Wang took back a large part of Zhenyuan Mansion and other places, and just when everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, something shocking happened. The orcs sent another 100,000 soldiers and horses to make a comeback, after all, although the orcs were stupid, they couldn't be fooled twice, that is, that time General Wang led 300,000 Wang troops to repel the 100,000 heavily armed orcs, and finally only 50,000 Wang troops remained. Speaking of this, Yu De's eyes were full of regret. Because these can be avoided, if the imperial court sent people earlier, there would not be so much intrigue, how could this be.

Ye Chen was a little surprised that this General Wang was so powerful. Because in the recorded head-on battle between humans and orcs, it is possible to defeat ten times less soldiers and horses than himself unless they are fully armed, how can a general who is only twenty years old do it, and he can do what no one has done for thousands of years according to the probability of three to one. It's just a pity that those Wang Jiajun who died in battle, as a crossing, Ye Chen has no sense of admiration for the so-called emperor, a person in power who doesn't know how to care for his own people, is not worthy of respect.

"General Wang is so powerful, but those dead soldiers are too pitiful." Zhang Qian said angrily.

Yu De nodded and said, "Since then, General Wang has stayed here, and renamed this place Zhenyuan Mansion, saying that he will always guard the border of Qi here and will not return to the capital." At the same time, he is also known as the god of war by everyone. Although the imperial court tried to send people to take over this place countless times, they were all beaten back, and these walls were all built by General Wang after the end of the war. Linzhou also did not dare to invade on a large scale because of General Wang's existence for decades, so Zhenyuan Mansion would be so beautiful. It's a pity that in recent years, the general's health has been declining day by day, and some people in the DPRK and China want to stretch out their hands again. ”

Ye Chen suddenly said: "According to this, the general in Uncle Yu's mouth is this General Wang?" ”

Yu De nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that now the general is rarely managing things in the army, and now they are all handed over to his righteous son to manage." ”

I see, after listening to Yu De's story, Ye Chen felt more and more of a sense of crisis here. The orcs retreated inexplicably, and the seven countries each had their own ghosts, that is, their own countries fought to the death because of their interests. As far as the eye can see, there is no such thing as a pure land.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's go to the city first, and after arranging a place for you to live, I will go to the General's Mansion to resume my life. Yu De said.

This time he didn't go far, Yu De arranged Ye Chen and Zhang Qian in a farm outside the city and left, saying that he would come back another day. He told Ye Chen that this was a manor he bought a long time ago, but he never had time to come and live, so let them stay here first. Ye Chen didn't refuse, it's better to understand the situation first, because this is different from Hexian, and he has a talent in Hexian County, and his fame will be eye-catching.
