Chen Qi continued to use the "Northern Soul Returning to the Ruins" Heaven and Earth Aura, and the True Qi in the body reacted with it and transformed again, but the process was relatively slow, and it took more than a month for the transformation of the True Qi to complete, and the newborn Innate True Qi was not only nearly ten times more powerful, but also greatly enhanced spirituality, and extremely intimate with the Heaven and Earth Aura of the outside world.

Now, Chen Qi doesn't need to run the "Northern Soul Returning to Ruins", the aura of heaven and earth will also be attracted by the innate true qi in his body, and it will continue to pour into his body, turning into majestic true qi, in the meridians, galloping endlessly.

Having reached the innate realm, Chen Qi is still in retreat, the realm of internal strength has improved, and the previous martial arts need to be revised, supplemented, and advanced in order to truly exert all his strength.

"Dingding!"

The crisp sound of the bell woke Chen Qi from his meditation, because the secret room where he was retreating was closed by a thick stone door, and he couldn't hear it when he knocked on the door outside.

"Wan'er, what's going on?" Chen Qi went out of the customs and found that it was his new wife outside, her eyes were slightly red, her expression was sad, and it was obvious that something bad had happened.

"Husband, my father is gone," she couldn't help but hide her face and sob.

"What?!" Chen Qi was shocked, "What happened?

"Husband, it's not your ...... to blame"

It turned out that Chen Qi had been in retreat for three months, and the king of Zhennan led his army to raid Luoyang from the waterway according to his plan.

The capital was surrounded by a large army layer by layer, attacking day and night, precarious, the imperial court could only reluctantly succumb, open the city gate to welcome the king of Zhennan as the emperor, under the pressure of swords and guns, ready to ascend the throne. And when the king of Zhennan sat on the dragon chair to accept the worship of hundreds of officials, an accident happened, he suddenly laughed three times, and then died violently.

Speaking of this, Chen Wei was so sad that he fainted, Chen Qi hurriedly stepped forward to hug him and called a doctor for treatment, but he didn't have time to care about his wife, so he hurriedly came to Zhennan Wangfu.

At this time, everyone was deliberating, and the news of the death of King Zhennan came, including Wei Xu, everyone thought that he had been murdered, and they all clamored to lead the army to Luoyang again to find out the murderer and avenge the prince.

"The cause of the prince's death can be carefully investigated in the future, revenge is certain, but the top priority now is how to deal with the aftermath," Chen Qi stopped everyone's clamour.

"Gongzi Chen's words are reasonable, and I think that the little prince should quickly enter Beijing to inherit the throne!" a slightly sane strategist suggested.

"Master, what do you think?" Wei Xu wore linen and filial piety, his expression was sad, and he was a little moved when he heard this, but he still asked Chen Qi.

"Has the prince's enthronement ceremony been completed, and has the throne been recognized?" Chen Qi did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"My father has not completed the sacrifice to the sky, according to the etiquette, it seems to be ......" Wei Xu hesitated.

"Then what rumors, rumors, and the like are there in Luoyang City?"

"There is news that the capital is now full of rumors, all saying that my father is not virtuous enough, and he is unauthorized to use swords and soldiers to covet the throne, so he has suffered the curse of heaven," Wei Xu gritted his teeth a little.

"From this point of view, whether in terms of popular will or etiquette, the throne of the prince is not widely recognized, and the court may regret it at any time, flatly deny the legitimacy of the prince's throne, and even insult the prince as a thief.

"How dare they?" Wei Xu said angrily, "We still have 50,000 troops in the capital, and under the persecution of swords and guns, I don't believe they won't give in." ”

"Don't expect those 50,000 rabble, the prince is down, they are demoralized, and they can't be the opponent of the elite Northern Army," Chen Qi shook his head and denied, "Although the Northern Army is temporarily blocked on the north bank of the Great River, the Great River is so long, there must be a place to cross the river downstream of the detour, but it will take longer." ”

The most important part of Chen Qi's strategy is to intimidate the imperial court with a huge army and force submission, so the number of soldiers must be large, it doesn't matter if they are elite or not, they are all used to scare people anyway.

Although the Zhennan Wangfu has been plotting for many years, it has been hiding and hiding, worried about attracting the attention of the imperial court, so all the people and horses combined, there are only 8,000 elites, in fact, there are a lot, but it is far from enough, and it can only be temporarily recruited, and the land scoundrels from all over the country are forced to enlist in the army, and there are only less than 20,000 people. The rest have small and medium-sized families that support, 200 for your family and 500 for mine, so you can barely get together 50,000 horses.

Among them, the Chen family has the most, more than 8,000 people, but it is not the elite of the Chen family, except for some old, weak, sick and disabled, the rest are Shanyue mercenaries. Yes, at this time, the Shanyue Civil War was raging, and there was a shortage of food and weapons, and the Chen family took these and easily borrowed people from various tribes, and other families also followed suit.

"So little prince, you can't go to the capital to snatch the throne now, now the best time has passed, did Mr. Zhang enter Luoyang with the prince, but he is still in the army?"

"It should still be there, Father Wang, and now he is in control of the army. ”

"Now that the Northern Army may enter Beijing at any time, I wrote an urgent letter ordering people to send it to Luoyang day and night, and ordered Mr. Zhang to withdraw the 50,000 horses from the waterway completely. ”

"Did you just give up?" Wei Xu was a little unwilling.

"You can't rush everything, it depends on the situation, and you can't force it, but the letter needs to tell Mr. Zhang that there are two things that need to be done before ordering him to retreat. ”

"Which two?"

"The imperial court is still unclear about the reality of the 50,000 troops, the capital is surrounded, the news is cut off, and it is impossible for them to know when the northern army will come to King Qin, Mr. Zhang needs to take advantage of this time difference and information difference to force the court to admit that the king of Zhennan was poisoned to death, and then hand over the murderer, it doesn't matter if it is a real murderer, but it must be shown to the world that the prince was killed by someone, and the crime of heavenly punishment must not be repeated!"

"Then, it is to force the court to recognize that you inherit the throne of the little prince, and you are the prince with real power, and the fief is the entire Lingnan, with this name, you can completely control the military and political power of the entire Lingnan territory in your hands, and then build a high wall and accumulate grain, and there is a lot to be done in the future. ”

"Of course, let Mr. Zhang also put forward other conditions and requirements, if there are conditions, he will mention, and if there are benefits, he will fish, anyway, they are all beating rabbits, but the above two requirements must be met, which is very important. ”

After discussing for a long time, Chen Qi returned home and learned excellent news that his wife was pregnant for more than three months, and she fainted with grief because she was weak.

After learning that he was going to be a father, Chen Qi was pleasantly surprised, and after the surprise, he felt inexplicable in his heart, as if he was much more connected to the world, and the burden on his shoulders seemed to be much heavier.

At night, because Wan'er was pregnant, Chen Qi could only sleep in separate rooms, and it was Xiao Xiang'er who made the bed for him, Chen Qi was a little surprised, since he became his secretary, he has been busy with various affairs of the Chen Chamber of Commerce, and Xiao Xiang'er has not served him in person for a long time.

However, Chen Qi found that her face was haggard, her expression was a little trance, and she seemed to want to stop talking, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Xiao Xiang'er was seventeen years old, one year older than him, and he always had him in his heart, but he always treated her as a sister or daughter.

Now Chen Qi finds that he is a little hypocritical, not loving does not mean that he can't marry her, it's a big deal to marry her and go home as a daughter, why is this a bit evil?

"Little master, the slave maid has one thing to ask you!" Xiao Xiang'er suddenly fell to her knees.

"Needless to say, I agreed. I was a little surprised by Xiao Xiang'er's boldness, but Chen Qi immediately agreed, not to embarrass the family.

"Really?!" Xiao Xiang'er was very surprised, her two big eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Slave and maid, thank you little young master for your success, Sun Xianggong is really a very good person, and the slave and maid will often come back to see you in the future!"

"Wait," Chen Qi was very puzzled, why he couldn't understand, "Who is this Sun Xianggong?"

"Sun... Sun Xianggong," Xiao Xiang'er's pretty face flushed, "he... He's ......"

This Sun Xianggong is a poor talent in Guangzhou City, and he applied for a job at Chen's firm, because at this time, the scholars looked down on businessmen, and few came to the firm to do things, so in order to show his attention, Xiao Xianger personally received him.
