In the blink of an eye, the Beacon Continent entered the ninth year of the era.

Xiao Chen, who had just spent a New Year, was pulling his queen and two concubines to visit relatives in Donglin City at the moment. The two old Taishan's families have to go over, even if they are emperors and have different statuses, but Xiao Chen himself does not have such a high class concept. Besides, I also accompanied the two concubines back to their parents' house.

After walking out of Wu Feng's house, Xiao Chen and the others went straight to the Generalissimo's Mansion, which was Yue Fei's residence. The Generalissimo's Mansion is very close to the Taiwei Mansion, who made both of them the heads of the kingdom's military. The proximity of the residence is also convenient for the two to talk about military matters.

Yue Fei's brain is easy to use, and many troubles can be solved by just shaking his head and thinking about it. But if the problem is solved, it doesn't mean that it is really solved, many things have a lot of trouble in the court, and at this time, Wu Feng, the boss of the military, needs to be in charge. Therefore, the two of them are definitely a match for heaven to cooperate so well, at least now Xiao Chen knows that many troubles in the monk and Taoist divisions are solved by the two of them.

The friendship between the first and second heads of the military is undoubtedly the most benign development for the military development of the kingdom. As for what is mutually controlled or something, Xiao Chen completely disagrees, the harm of party strife has been witnessed since history. No matter what Xiao Chen says, he will not do that kind of thing that harms the interests of the country. In terms of loyalty, Xiao Chen is also very relieved. Needless to say, Yue Fei's loyalty, Lao Taishan's loyalty city is linked to Wu Min.

Before they knew it, the group soon came to the gate of the Generalissimo's Mansion. Yue Fei and Mrs. Yue, who had already received Xiao Chen, had already taken dozens of relatives and slaves from their families to stand in front of the door to greet and wait.

"The last general will see His Majesty the King, see the Queen Niangniang, and see the concubine Niangniang!" Yue Fei took the lead in saluting and said, and then everyone behind him also immediately saluted and said.

"Haha, happy new year to the old lady, I wish the old lady a safe and healthy year!" Xiao Chen ignored Yue Fei, and made a junior salute to Old Madam Yue first, and sent a blessing.

This surprised Mrs. Yue, and hurriedly put aside the support of the maid beside her. He bowed and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, how dare your old body bear such a great gift from Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh, what did the old lady say, didn't she recognize the grandson-in-law of this king?" Xiao Chen immediately greeted him with a word.

Ling Xue'er next to her also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, grandma, don't you even recognize your granddaughter?"

Xiao Chen and Ling Xue'er looked at each other and smiled, but this made her mother-in-law embarrassed. This has been forced into a corner by the two little guys, admit it, the king salutes is a matter of course. If you don't admit it, the result will be even worse.

Yue Fei shook his head and said, "King, it's better to go to the mansion first, I've been standing outside for so long, so don't let me know that I still think that I, Yue Pengju, don't respect the king!" ”

"Well, yes, it's really not good to stand outside. Let's go into the mansion and talk about ......" Xiao Chen saw that Yue Fei, the head of the family, had come forward to solve the problem, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more.

"Grandma, I'll help you into the house!" Ling Xue'er quickly transformed into a good girl, and when she came to her mother-in-law's side, she smiled and helped her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law was also embarrassed by the prank of the two just now, and now when she suddenly saw Ling Xue'er looking like she was obedient to you, she immediately felt warm and sweet.

The women soon gathered together, saying blessings to the old lady while chatting with a group of women next to them. Mrs. Yue also looked at Ling Xue'er, her goddaughter, with a smile on her face. Yue Yun's wife looked at the queen's sister, who had not met for a long time, and was still a little shy when she spoke, so she could only interject a few words casually.

Besides, almost all of my surroundings are bigger than me now, so it's good to be able to insert a few words. You must know that although you are the wife of the eldest son of the Yue Mansion, now the Yue Mansion can't take Yue Yun's turn to be the master, and the grandmother is still in good health, and even the father-in-law can't be the master of some things.

The women sat and chatted, and the men naturally gathered together to drink. Xiao Chen is naturally sitting on the main seat, his position is there, who dares to let himself be subordinate. The second was Yue Fei, who was sitting on Xiao Chen's left hand side. Then Ma Chao, Yue Yun, and Yue Fei's younger sons sat down one at a time.

"Come, today is the first day of the new year, let's do one first!" Xiao Chen spoke first, and immediately attracted the approval of Ma Chao and Yue Yun.

Yue Fei had no choice but to go with the flow and have a drink together. Even several of Yue Yun's younger brothers drank a little, but they were a little too much to drink, and their faces were already flushed.

"Big brother, why didn't Zhao'er come, and Yangqi. Why don't you bring them with you when you come out, grandma is thinking about Zhao'er and Yangqi every day! After Yue Yun finished a bowl of wine, he lost the interval between the monarch and the minister just now, and said with a big grin.

As soon as Yue Yun finished speaking, Yue Fei was stunned with a pair of tiger eyes. Who knew that Yue Yun, this kid, actually raised his eyebrows, and did not admit his mistake at all.

Xiao Chen looked at the eyebrows of the two masters, and was also amused, and said: "Zhao'er had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last night, and went back to the barracks for training early this morning. It is estimated that there will be time in the evening, and none of you should shirk tonight, and leave anything to tomorrow. I'm going to have a banquet in the palace, and a lot of old friends will come back in a flash! ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, the king, I am definitely going to Meng Qi tonight, and I have been thinking about the wine in your palace." ”

"Well, don't worry, there's enough wine tonight, don't worry! The gentlemen don't believe it, the good wine that has been cellared for five years in three hundred jars can't be poured into you! ”

"Haha, come on, drink!"

A meal of wine lasted for more than two hours, and it was not until the women's soldiers chatted and ate for a while that they slowly dispersed.

In the evening, Xiao Chen changed his dress again and sat on the main seat of the main hall. Below is Chen Zhao, who has just returned from the barracks, and it is difficult for a man of one meter four or five to think that this is just a nine-year-old child. In addition to these, this little guy's strength is not at all like a minor. Have you ever seen a little kid, barefoot, running around with four jars and ten pounds of wine?

Therefore, as early as last autumn, Xiao Chen made up a new identity for Chen Zhao and became a newcomer who had just enlisted in the army. The training in the barracks is undoubtedly the most arduous and the most tempering.

From the very beginning when Tatsuaki walked into the barracks and began training, many people thought that this eight-year-old prince must not be able to stand the hardships. But the truth was a surprise, on the first day, maybe because he had just received such a large amount of exercise, Chen Zhao was a little unbearable.

But after sleeping all night, Chen Zhao quickly recovered his state, carrying a Tang knife weighing more than a dozen pounds and hanging an infantry shield weighing twenty or thirty pounds, and began intense training again. In this way, almost every day, Chen Zhao's physical strength will be exhausted, but the attributes that are different from ordinary people make Chen Zhao grow up quickly.

In just one month, the small family work that was originally only about 100 catties has become a strong man of more than 140 catties. With his current height of only 1.45 meters, he is definitely very stocky. The most important thing is that this guy is full of muscles, and Xiao Chen is a little envious and embarrassed when he sees it. The weight must weigh itself, and the strength does not know where it is greater than itself. As a father, he currently maintains a height advantage. But I'm afraid it will soon be overtaken......

A special iron armor was put on his body, and when he was wearing a helmet, a handsome little general appeared.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Chen Zhao bowed and said.

Xiao Chen looked at his second son a few more times with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, very good." I'm much taller and stronger than before. Your grandfather-in-law has already told me about his performance in the barracks, and my father is very happy. ”

"Hehe, father, when are we going to fight, my son also wants to lead a team of soldiers and horses to expand the territory of the kingdom!" Chen Zhao shouted excitedly.

"If you want to go out to war, wait, it won't be long before there will be war. By the way, if you want to lead the army at that time, you have to ask your mother, if she doesn't want her father, I can't do anything! Xiao Chen finished the last two sentences in embarrassment.

Chen Zhao was immediately overjoyed, his father agreed, and his mother said it better. "Hehe, father, I'll talk about it on my mother's side. By the way, Father, who are we going to fight then?"

"The country of the undead in the west, in the past two years, after the failure of the country to attack our Beichen Kingdom, it has been expanding in other directions, and its strength has grown rapidly. In just two years, Arthas has been able to sit on an equal footing with his father and become the king of a kingdom, which is really not to be underestimated. Xiao Chen said very worriedly.

"Father, do we have what it takes to win the war?" Tatsuaki asked.

"Father doesn't know that the speed of expansion of the undead clan is against the sky. From tens of millions of troops before, now I don't know how many hundreds of millions. But our Beichen Kingdom is not without advantages, the monks and Taoist soldiers have been expanded into a legion, with 400,000 horses. They are the class of troops that restrain the undead, and this year Father plans to expand them to one million troops. I believe that with 500,000 Taoist soldiers, 500,000 monk soldiers, and millions of elite troops, we should be able to fight the country of the undead! ”

"Father, since we are not prepared for victory, can we fight this war?" Tatsuaki asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, there is a lot of stock in the town warehouse and warehouses all over the kingdom. In addition, the national strength has now fully recovered from the Great Purge, and this year will be greatly developed. ”

"Besides, our Beichen Kingdom can no longer be consumed. As long as the undead capture the city, they can get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of troops. We can't afford it. Now we can only choose to start a war, even if we can't eat the undead realm in one go, then we have to kill and damage their military strength in large numbers. By the way, when the time comes, the Xia Kingdom will cooperate with us, and when you go to the Xia Kingdom with your father at the end of spring, it is time to meet your Uncle Long! Xiao Chen said with a smile.

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't understand that the king of the Xia Kingdom was actually a brother and brother to his father. However, if you go with your father, there will be no trouble.

"Father, son-in-law will go to the Xia Kingdom with you, in case the Xia Kingdom ......"

Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, if your Uncle Long dares to do this, Grandpa Long will definitely beat his ass, don't worry!" ”

"Well, well, Father!" Chen Zhao really couldn't understand why his father believed in the king of Xia so much.

"Oh, by the way, in a few days, you will go to the Houjun to find your Uncle Yun and ask him to arrange something for you to do. It's not a matter just to train like this, and it's not okay if you haven't seen blood! Xiao Chen shook his head and continued: "Now where there is war in the kingdom, there is also the rear army. Well, to open up the passage with the government and state in the middle of the continent, I really can't understand how those stupid forks could come up with such a bad idea! ”

"Huh? Father, what kind of government and country?"

"You don't understand this, okay, just remember to go to the rear army. Now you go to the palace gate, and I think all your uncles should come over quickly and greet your father. Xiao Chen calculated the time, and felt that someone should be there soon.

"No! Erchen is going! After Chen Zhao saluted, he turned around and walked out of the main hall.

"Grandpa Yue? You're here, please come in, my father has been waiting for a long time! Chen Zhao stood at the gate of the palace and saw Yue Fei and the others coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the prince has now become a little general!" Ma Chao looked at Chen Zhao, who was a cut lower than himself and was wearing iron armor, and said happily.

Chen Zhao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Uncle Ma, you are laughing." Zhao is only a centurion at present, where is he called a general! ”

"Okay, let's stop talking. Prince, Master Li is behind, so we won't delay the prince. After speaking, Yue Fei bowed, took Yue Yun and Ma Chao, and walked into the palace.

"Grandpa! You're here! Come on in! Chen Zhao saw Li Ming and immediately stepped forward.

Li Ming stroked his singing beard, looking at Chen Zhao, who had reached his chest, still like a child. immediately straightened his face and said: "Zhao'er, now that you are the prince of the kingdom, how can you be in such a hurry, you should be steady, steady!" ”

Chen Zhao shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, grandpa, don't talk about it." Father has been waiting for a long time, so hurry up and get in! ”

"You stinky boy, how can you look the same as your father, you don't know respect at all. Confucius has clouds......"

Chen Zhao suddenly felt a headache, and hurriedly pushed Li Ming into the palace, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Then, in the blink of an eye, he saw several generals coming together, so he hurried forward.

More and more military and political elites, from the palace gate, and then after being greeted by the prince, one by one happily walked into the palace.

Since then, the largest gathering in Beichen Kingdom in recent years, and the most complete gathering, has officially kicked off!
