Romance of Gods

Chapter 97 Lin'an Envoy

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, it was noon, the scorching sun was high in the sky, and thousands of miles of steam were rising.

In the shallow water, teenagers and children soaking in the water to cool off, flutter like fish.

In the water camp, Zhang Xian, as the commander-in-chief, was sitting behind the commander's case.

Together, more than thirty generals lined up on both sides.

Despite the heavy armor and the sweltering heat, all the soldiers looked normal and did not behave in any disrespectful manner.

Niu Gao and Dong Xian sat in the first seats on the left and right, their eyes like torches, slowly patrolling the crowd.

"Where is Chen Yan, the commander of Beiwei Army!"

Niu Gao suddenly roared.

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this.

In the past few days, Chen Yanli's heroic deeds of killing Han Chang, Wolu, and Tu Hesu have been spread among hundreds of thousands of soldiers through word of mouth.

Chen Yan is a name that everyone knows today.

Since Lin'an received information that 30 soldiers and civilians had arrived safely on the south bank of the Huai River, they sent envoys northward carrying a large amount of food, grass and sacred orders.

Today, the camp received news that the envoy from Lin'an was less than [-] miles away from the Huaihe Water Village.

It happened that the situation on the south bank had stabilized recently, so Zhang Xian took this opportunity to summon the officers in the camp to sort out the gains and losses of the previous battles and arrange the next steps for each army.

When Niu Gao saw that Chen Yan did not come to the meeting, he became furious.

Yu Shan, the commander of the Beiwei Army, stood up and handed over his hands, "Report to General Niu that General Chen has not returned from collecting medicine. I will take my humble position to attend the meeting on his behalf."

"You haven't come back yet?" Niu Gao stood up and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese general asked Ji Yuan two days ago and said that he went to collect medicine, but he is still collecting it now?
What are you doing carrying Weijun for food?I lost my head and still had the nerve to attend the meeting!go!Get Chen Yan back to me immediately! "

"Honestly obey orders."

Yu Shan arched his body and walked out quickly.

Niu Gao sat down and Zhang Xian was about to speak when he spoke again, "General Zhang, I haven't had time to ask in the past few days, did you send the letter asking for credit to Chen Yan to Lin'an?"

Later, when Wang Jun heard this, his mind changed quickly.

Before, he only thought that Chen Yan had killed an enemy general, but he did not expect that this man's achievements were far beyond his imagination. Two generals who could be regarded as the face of the Jin Dynasty died at his hands.

In this case, it would be convenient for him to confuse the audience, and he hurriedly said: "General Niu, now we are in crisis, how can we be anxious for personal achievements first?"

"Haha!" Niu Gao chuckled and glanced back, "General Wang, if you kill the enemy generals among thousands of troops and kill Han Chang and others, I'm afraid you don't need anyone else. You can ride on the fast horse yourself first, and it will cost you eight hundred leagues." Let’s rush to Lin’an to ask for merit!”

Hearing this, bursts of slight laughter burst out from the crowd.

"General Niu!"

Wang Jun's face turned green and white after being teased like this. He stood up with a groan and stared at Niu Gao, his brows trembling.

"General Wang, calm down." Zhang Xian raised his hand to signal him to sit down, and then scolded him lightly, "General Niu, for teasing and humiliating the soldiers in the same camp, you should be punished with thirty military sticks."

"No need to worry, I know military law." Niu Gao became serious, "I still say what I said, failure to reward meritorious deeds will chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the three armies."

Dong Xian stroked his beard and said: "General Niu, don't be reckless, General Zhang has made his own decision."

Zhang Xian felt quite emotional at this time and couldn't help but think of the day he met Chen Yan.

Even if he saw his bravery in person, he definitely could not guess it at the time and did not dare to guess it.

This man was able to single-handedly reverse the extremely dangerous situation at that time.

"Exterminating the God of Plague, beheading Han Chang, annihilating Wanyan... Chen Yan's achievements are rare in this world. How can I not report it to the court?"

Don't worry, General Niu. The letter of request for merit to Chen Yan was sent to Lin'an when he went to Lin'an. "

"Okay!"

Niu Gao was overjoyed.

Zhang Xian smiled and continued: "Previously, the momentum for peace talks in the court was huge, and all the troops from the Northern Expedition had to withdraw their troops and return south. This victory is inspiring.

After the officials and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty learned about this matter, they would definitely clear up the previous haze.Who knows, the upcoming imperial edict will order us to turn our spearhead and continue the Northern Expedition! "

After hearing this, all the generals couldn't help being happy and cheered.

"If this is true! The key to retaking Tokyo and killing Jin Wushu will naturally fall on us!"

"Yes!"

Only Wang Jun remained silent, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the current situation, the matter of hiding Niu Gao's letters could be considered a fool.

Dong Xian asked: "By the way, General Zhang, who is the envoy sent by Lin'an this time?"

Zhang Xian was silent for a moment, then uttered three words: "Wan Qi Xie (four sounds of xie)."

The generals suddenly fell silent, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

This man had always been at odds with Yue Fei. Why did Lin'an send him to read out the imperial edict?
……

"Shut up!"

Chen Yan rode the demon horse to a stop outside the crowd, built an awning to block the scorching sun, and looked around.

At this moment, the boats on the Huaihe River are like autumn leaves, and many people are fishing, gradually resuming production.

Tens of thousands of young men mingled with the soldiers of the Yue Family Army, forming several huge square formations to practice martial arts together, with a shocking momentum.

"General Chen!"

Suddenly, a horse galloped from not far away.

Ji Yuan rode on his horse and shouted loudly.

"Commander Ji."

"General Chen, where did you go to collect medicine? It's been almost five days since you came back!"

Five days?

Chen Yan was slightly startled. After leaving Qiyang Mountain, he immediately rushed back without stopping.

He estimated that it would take at most four days, but he didn't expect it to take so long.

Several hundred kilograms of Jiyang pole were tied into bundles by Chen Yan with simple straw ropes and placed behind him, letting the horse hump.

Ji Yuan didn't know many herbal medicines and didn't find anything unusual.I just thought that if I wanted to collect so many herbs, I wouldn't be able to do it for a few days.

"Have General Niu and the others looked for me?"

Ji Yuan turned away and replied: "Several generals have asked. I just said that you went to collect herbs and didn't ask any further questions."

"Okay." Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "I will send the herbs to Mr. Ou, and you ask Feng Shanshui and the other three to come see me."

"Honestly obey orders."

In the medicine hall, Ou Zhun, who had rarely had half a day to spare, was lying on the straw mat, sleepy.

"Mr. O!"

"Hey!"

As soon as Ou Zhun shouted loudly, he immediately turned over and woke up, only to see Chen Yan standing outside the tent with his horse.

"General Chen, you've been here for a few days, you really want to kill me!"

Chen Yan smiled and put a few bundles of Di Yang Piao on the ground, "Look, the medicinal materials."

"Medicine?"

Ou Zhun has been practicing medicine for decades and has seen not only all the medicinal materials in the world, but that's about it.

But these piles of wilted rapeseed really made him confused.

"I'm sorry for my blindness, but I have never seen such medicinal materials. They probably... look like wild vegetables."

Chen Yanzao had already planned his words, "I met a hunter in the mountains. He knew that I was from the Yue Family Army who came to look for medicine, so he took me deep into the mountains.

They said that their ancestors relied on these wild vegetables to treat colds, so I brought some back to see if they can be used. "

"I see... I need to study it carefully..."

Ou Zhun squatted on the ground and was about to test the medicine when several shouts came from outside: "Captain Ten! You are looking for us!"

"What captain of ten? General, now I want to call you general...General Chen!"

Chen Yan looked back and saw Feng Shanshui and three others, wearing shiny armor, gathered around the tent and said, "Come in."

As soon as the three of them stepped through the tent door with their front legs, a long and thin object suddenly flew out of Chen Yan's hand and stabbed towards them.

Feng and Liu were about to block it when Su Wuchou, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the thing into his hands.

Pen.

"This...this is..." He looked at the old cracks on the wolf-hair pen and said with a trembling voice, "This is my pen! Captain, how come this is in your hand?"

[Yi Congsu Wuchou has received the token, the shackles of his skills have been cracked, and he is in the process of understanding the advanced skills]

Feng Shanshui rubbed the breast shield on his chest and chuckled, "Don't ask, it's the City God who asks! Is General Chen's ability beyond the reach of you mortals?"

Chen Yan sat on the table, folding his arms and looking at the three of them one by one, "You are not as capable as you... Mr. Ou told me that you are not alive."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the three people immediately became extremely stiff, and the air in the tent condensed.

"Ah?" Ou Zhun put a blade of grass into his mouth, then turned around and said hurriedly: "I never told you."

After that, he picked up a bundle of Jiyang pole and quickly left the camp.

Feng Shanshui's eyes flickered, "This is a big joke, Captain, the three of us have been jumping around for so long, how can we be dead?"

"Then eat this."

Chen Yan stretched out his arm with a small piece of dead dough pancake in his palm.

He carefully observed the changes in the expressions of the three people, and they all looked troubled.

"Eat as long as you want. You two are still afraid that the captain will poison us."

Feng Shanshui smiled and grabbed the noodle cake, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it randomly for a few times. Just as he was about to swallow, he made a sound and vomited while holding his stomach.

Chen Yan looked at the vomit on the ground. Except for the piece of bread, the rest was all black charcoal residue.

He sighed softly, "When a person dies, he eats charcoal."

Liu Sandi said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's tell the truth to the tenth captain."

Su Wuchou held the brush tightly, lowered his head and said: "Actually, we don't know whether we are dead or alive now. During those days in the City God's Temple, we were drowsy every day. Until the day when you woke up, Captain Ten, we also Just woke up."

Feng Shanshui sat on the ground and said nothing.

Liu Sandi continued: "When we went down the mountain, we were very hungry and ate some wild fruits, but we felt very uncomfortable... Then you chased the monster away, and by some strange combination of circumstances, we ate some charcoal, and then we felt better."

"Captain Ten, do you remember when we went down the mountain, the three of us went down to pick up weapons?"

Chen Yan looked at Feng Shanshui and nodded, "Of course."

"Under the corpses of those golden men, we not only found our own weapons, we also saw our own corpses! Our own!"

"At this time, we slowly remembered. It turned out that we had already died together with the pursuers before arriving at the Chenghuang Temple."

"But we do live in this world! We know that it was the City God who couldn't bear to see us die like this and let us come back to avenge the Golden Man!"

Before he finished speaking, the three of them knelt down in front of Chen Yan and kowtowed at the same time: "Captain Ten! Thank you for killing Han Chang! You fulfilled our great wish!"

As he spoke, the bodies of the three people slowly became blurry.

"stand up!"

boom!The Tiangang Green Shen Gun shook, and Chen Yan screamed.

The sound was like thunder, and the three of them woke up, and their bodies began to strengthen again.

Chen Yan's voice rippled outside the tent, and Yu Shan and others who came after hearing the news stopped suddenly.

"General Chen! General Niu Gao invites you!"

"Die, die on the battlefield."

Chen Yancai said something and strode out of the tent.

The three of them stood up and stared at Chen Yan's retreating figure.

Almost fell asleep again.
