in the ancient last days

It was completely dark, and the zombies' activity period came, but no matter how fierce the zombies were, they could not break through under the guard of Xincheng soldiers, and were firmly blocked from the defense line of Ah Da and others.

The Cui family's convoy was escorted forward. Through the curtain of the car, they carefully glanced at the one-armed man sitting on the horse. Cui Rongxi turned to Chen Yue: "Sir, who is he? I have never heard of the Chu family having this number before." figure."

Chen Yue closed his eyes halfway, and shook his feather fan: "It's only natural that you don't know, the other party's name is Ada, who used to be a soldier under the eldest princess, and now the eldest princess and Chu Tanhua have given all the rights in their hands to Chu Shaojun, The former generals are naturally also used by him."

Cui Rongxi hesitated to speak: "Then his right arm...?"

Chen Yu: "The other party was injured in Yantang, Xin County, and it was Chu Shaojun who cut his arm to save his life."

Cui Rongxi was enthralled.

"Being able to come up with the method of breaking his arm in such a critical situation at that time shows that Chu Shaojun is not only decisive, but also has extraordinary strategy and courage."

"Our Fifth Young Lady's heart is moved?" Chen Yue shook his fan and laughed, and nodded her: "Yes, it is indeed very human to think of a way to survive with a broken arm. Your husband is more than enough."

"Sir! What are you talking about?" Cui Rongxi was ashamed of being teased, and her voice was inaudible: "Sir, stop teasing Xiaoxi."

"The matter of this marriage has not yet been written off, and Rong Xi just came out to see the world."

Everyone in the family mentioned Chu Zhao to her, saying that it is difficult to find a husband in today's world, the land of the Chu family is not far from theirs, and the other party has conquered a city at a young age, saying that he is the perfect husband candidate, Matching her identity is a match made in heaven, so I have to force Cui Rongxi to come and "meet" this time.

She felt a little disgusted when people mentioned it too much. There were many sisters in the clan. Although she was not the child of a natural girl, her years of ethnic education had also cultivated a sense of arrogance in her heart.A hero deserves a beauty. The Chu family was down and out before, but now they just show a slight advantage. Why do father and the others care so much?

Chen Yue could see what she was thinking: "Rong Xi, don't be rude."

"Look at the soldiers of the Chu family who behaved well and had strict discipline along the way, and they didn't show any signs of panic when dealing with zombies. You can get a glimpse of what the troops in Xincheng look like."

"Chu Shaojun is young. Not only is he good at people's livelihood, he is also good at governing and training the army. We should pay more attention to the Chu family this time. We must know that our Cui family can become one of the five surnames of the Great Zhou. Not falling down depends not only on the strong background of the family, Rong Xi, I thought you were a child of the Cui family, so you should understand this."

Chen Yue's status in the Cui family is extraordinary, and now that he said such words to her, Cui Rongxi couldn't help but lower his head slightly: "Yes, I would like to follow the teacher's instruction."

Chen Yue nodded, and suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be so absolute, maybe Rong Xi, you will change your mind after seeing Chu Shaojun. According to what His Highness said, Shaojun is a rare person in the world. of beauty."

Long Zhang Feng posture, natural nature.Such as gold, such as tin, such as jade, such as jade.

The image of an incomparably elegant young man just so vividly appeared on the paper.

Cui Rongxi smiled softly, but she didn't take it seriously in her heart. If Chu Shaojun was really so great as he described, why hasn't there been any rumors in the capital for more than ten years?It's just that Wang Po is selling melons and boasting.

well.Seeing Miss Fifth's appearance like this, Chen Yue knew that the other party didn't take his words to heart.

Thinking about it, only after he has learned a lesson, the other party will restrain his temper.

Three days later.

Outside the new city.

The trees are shady and the vegetation is lush.

A convoy from the border rushed forward, and the Cui family's convoy arrived at Xincheng after traveling for many days.

Before entering the city gate, everyone in the Cui family was amazed at the sight they saw from afar.

The towering and majestic city wall is surrounded by a blue river outside the city. Because of the recent continuous torrential rain, the water level has skyrocketed. All zombies and beasts outside the city want to enter the new city, but they are swallowed by the raging waves before they arrive.

There is a bridge over the river, only ten feet wide for two cars.

The Cui family's carriage was led across the bridge slowly, and the zombies floating on the shore could be seen, struggling and being knocked down by the waves.

Wu Ming: "Sir, this is similar to the function of the swamp outside our clan."

Chen Yu thought inwardly, not only that, but it was dug out by manpower alone, it is said that it connects the Ming River more than ten miles away, I don't know how Chu Shaojun did it.

Along the city wall, there are two sentry towers standing high, which play the role of early warning and prevention.

When the convoy entered the city, Chen Yue could see clearly that the sentinel's eyes were always looking out of the city vigilantly, and there was a bone whistle made of unknown material hanging around his neck, and the sound echoed slenderly when he blew lightly.

What is concerning is that several guards still have something pinned to their waists and necks. Chen Yue doesn't know what it is, but from the movements of the guards, he can guess that it is an artifact similar to "clairvoyance".

Another treasure made by the Chu family?

I don't know how the power compares with the power of the "match" and "thunderbolt" that Chu Shaojun took out earlier?I heard that Chu Shaojun's thunderbolt bombs in the siege battle that day could blow open the city gate abruptly.

The mutated corpses were also annihilated under the attack of thunderbolts, but Chen Yue got the news that several counties in the north had perished because of the mutant corpses, which shows how powerful the thunderbolts are.

Chu Shaojun really surprised people one after another.

The vehicle slowly drove into the city. Originally, the people of the Cui family thought that changing the Chu family into a county town would not achieve much in just a short period of time, but they thought it was wrong.

The roads on the street are clean and tidy. They have never seen such a clean road even at the foot of the emperor in Kyoto. One person threw vegetable leaves and eggshells on the road.

The smell of the air was so fresh that the Cui family, whose noses suffered all kinds of damage after the end of the world, took a deep breath, with an intoxicated expression on their faces.

After receiving the surprised look, Xincheng Xiaobing couldn't help laughing: "Our young city master, Aijie. No, everyone should take care of the food cleanly, and you will be fined if you litter on the ground."

"Haha, don't say it, it's pretty good this way, and it's easier to breathe when walking on the road."

"You'll get used to it after staying in our new city for a while."

Wu Ming smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing the banknotes being exchanged in the hands of the common people in the shop, Chen Yue paused his hand shaking the fan, and asked softly, "What is that? Why do the common people trade with it."

The group of them set off early, and the eldest princess's letter was delivered to Cui's family before they could be notified.

The little soldier in Xincheng didn't think much about it, and explained to him directly: "Oh, those are our Xincheng transaction banknotes. The young city lord said that everyone will use this to buy things in the future. It is convenient and fast! Hey, by the way, I forgot to tell the adults. , Do you want to change some paper money? After entering the city, the old copper coins will be useless."

Chen Yu: "Where can I change it?"

Although he didn't receive any letters, fortunately he was always considerate in his work, and he brought quite a lot of gold, silver and jewelry when he came to the Chu family to trade this time.

The little soldier nuzzled: "No, there is the "Barter Department" two streets away! They sent people to guard them, and the common people exchanged them there."

Seeing that Mr. Chen was moved, Ah Da immediately sent someone to help fetch some copper coins for people to exchange at the barter department.

After a while, a stack of banknotes came into his hand, touching the "Xincheng banknotes" with the image of Xincheng printed on it, and the amount clearly displayed on it, a gleam flashed in Chen Yue's eyes.

"Okay, I will collect gold and silver to enrich the city treasury, and make it easier for the common people to trade. There are also mysteries on this banknote to distinguish the authenticity... Small banknotes, collecting money can set people's hearts, and serve multiple purposes. I really underestimate it." After Chu Shaojun, this son will definitely do great things in the future!"

The soldiers in Xincheng listened to Mr. Chen's words, although they didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words.

But when they heard the praise of Chuzhao, they couldn't help puffing up their chests: "That is, our young city lord is unprecedented, unmatched, and the best!"

At this moment, the convoy passed by a swaying fat hen. I don't know if she understood the words, but she also clucked loudly twice in response, leaving chicken feathers flying all over the ground.

The passers-by on the road didn't chase it away, and all looked at the big white chicken with smiles, as if they were looking at a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered on the dinner plate, until——

"Ouch! Go and go, come to peck at my food again, where you don't want to eat, but you come to eat my food every time, it hurts me so much!"

"Haha, Second Aunt, who told your father-in-law to plant well? No, the superb craftsmanship of the vegetable garden made him stare at it." A gloating voice.

"Pfft." There was a chuckle from inside the curtain.

The soldiers in Xincheng heard the black lines all over their heads, and were ashamed to throw it to outsiders. The soldier who was talking to Chen Yue coughed lightly: "The other chickens are all staying on the top of the hill, but this one likes to come out every day to swagger ..."

"Okay." Ah Da said: "Don't make the young master wait too long, let's hurry up."

The soldier suddenly looked serious: "Yes!"

Everyone speeded up their horses and finally arrived at the City Lord's Mansion when the sky was approaching dusk.

Along the way, Chen Yue paid close attention, but he didn't find any special places. Chu Zhao sent people to guard the undisclosed secret places such as the Iron Ware Camp and the Glass Room, especially the firearms that were being researched. The camp is the most important thing that must be known by the confidantes, and everyone in Cui's family tried their best but could not detect the slightest bit.

The convoy stopped suddenly, and the hustle and bustle gradually disappeared. Ada and the others stopped and bowed in the direction ahead.

rustling.

The sound of the wind blowing.

Cui Rongxi's hand that lifted the curtain of the car just paused in the air, staring blankly at the front.

The young man standing in front of the car is slender. Under the evening sun, he is as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon swimming.A sweet-scented osmanthus petal swirling from nowhere floated down and landed on the forehead of the other party, burning brightly.

The other party smiled: "Come from afar, welcome."

...

In the meeting hall, Chu Zhao and Chen Yu sat facing each other, separated by a table, and looked at each other silently for a while, both of them clearly understood that the other was not a good person to get along with.

To some extent, they all know what the other's purpose is.

Dealing with foxes, Chu Zhao only hated himself for not having the innate ability to inspire the mind-reading skills of the vampires.

"What's your name sir?"

"My surname is Chen, so it is good for the young master to call me Mr."

Chu Zhao: He is not young anymore.

He raised his eyelids: "Mr. may not know that my mother had a relationship with Mr. at the time."

Chen Yu's fan stopped: "Oh?"

"Only eight months ago, as soon as Mr. Chen left with his servants, a corpse disaster broke out in Xin County. I have to say, Mr. is very lucky."

Chen Yu: "...." He didn't want to recall what happened eight months ago at all. It was a big failure in his life, and even thinking about it now, he still felt a little faint pain in his liver.Later, the divination master didn't know what he had calculated, so he sent his tribe to pick him up quickly, and he escaped unharmed.

Otherwise, he would be one of the army of zombies stabbed to death in Xincheng now.

Chen Yue's smile stiffened.

Chu Zhao went straight to the point: "What is the sincerity of the Cui family to propose cooperation?"

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "That depends on what Shaojun wants."

"Oh?" The enemy doesn't move and I don't move. Whoever moves first will lose. Chu Zhao would not reveal his thoughts in such a hurry: "What is Mr. Chen's opinion, please advise."

Chen Yue shook his fan and laughed without saying a word, and suddenly changed his words: "Three months later, the Marquis of Zhenbei will set up a Qujiang Banquet in Qujiang to invite all the heroes, young master?"

Chu Zhao: "Qujiang Banquet?"

Zhenbeihou Mansion, more than 20 years ago, after a great battle between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Huns in the north, its vitality was severely injured, and its strength is still weak.The Marquis of Zhenbei was born in the sky, and was granted the title of Marquis for his contribution in fighting the Huns and suppressing the rebellion. In order to rely on the opponent and also to reassure the army, the Emperor of Zhou used to reward the Houfu a lot, and countless beauties and jewels were sent to the fiefdom like flowing water.

However, he never expected that the coming of the end times would foster the other party's ambitions. Not only did he fail to lead his troops to rescue him when the capital was in trouble, but he proclaimed himself king in Qujiang, known as "Zhenbei".

Zhenbei Zhenbei, all ambitions are contained in two words.

Chu Zhao: "Mr. Feichen thinks that the Chu family will also attend?"

Chen Yu smiled: "Shaojun is really smart, you may not know that before the Cui family went to the Chu family as an envoy, Qujiang sent many people to inquire."

Chu Zhao glanced at Chen Yu without doubting his words.

If Chu Zhao could see the bullet screens in Chen Yue's heart at this moment, it should be like this.

[The Chu family has this son, the future is limitless]

[No wonder the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is afraid of him and tries more...]

Chen Yu continued: "Although the drunkard's intention for this Qujiang Banquet is not to drink, it is a good opportunity to find out many other forces. Chen is not talented and intends to go there on behalf of the Cui family. I don't know what the young master wants. how?"

There was no emotion in the deep eyes, Chu Zhao said slowly: "The Chu family will definitely go, but it's not for the purpose of inquiring news, but for the safety of the new city."

"Okay, what a safe place!" Chen Yu couldn't help but pat the case, and thought to himself, Chu Shaojun really has a real talent, young King Ying, if I wasn't the counselor of the Cui family, maybe I would come to join Chu if I was tempted home.

The corner of Chu Zhao's mouth twitched slightly. What he didn't say was that the system that he hadn't responded for several months started to move again.

[Accept the task of 'Qujiang Group Banquet' and get bonus points, do you accept it? 】

In the side courtyard, the eldest princess and Cui Rongxi made tea facing each other, looking at each other with a satisfied chuckle, after a period of questioning, she was very satisfied.As expected of a noble girl raised by the Cui family, she is generous, virtuous and quiet. I heard that the other party has been able to read since she was a child. Even if she communicates with Chu Zhao, she has a common language and there is no hindrance.

Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by the eldest princess unabashedly, Cui Rongxi lowered her cheeks in shame and made tea for her gently.

The eldest princess smiled: "Rong Xixiu is beautiful and intelligent, I don't know if there is an engagement for you in the clan?"

Cui Rongxi blushed, somehow remembering the Chu Zhao he saw in the sunset the night before yesterday, her heart skipped a beat.

"The matter of the marriage...is completely decided by the fathers, but Rong Xi has not yet made a decision."

The eldest princess nodded, and asked again: "I came into the mansion with the servants, so I saw Zhao'er? That kid doesn't know many people of the same age. Rong Xi, it's your first visit to Chu's house. You have to let Zhaoer take you for a walk." yes."

Cui Rongxi lowered her eyes shyly, thinking of Chu Zhao who ran into him in front of the mansion, her heart skipped a beat. To be honest, it was the first time she had seen such an outstanding man other than her brother when she grew up.

Moreover, judging by the attitudes of the Chu family and the Cui family, the other party is likely to be her future husband...

The two were chatting happily, when suddenly footsteps came from outside the door.

When Chu Zhao saw Cui Rongxi sitting with the eldest princess, he was taken aback for a moment, then his expression quickly faded: "Mother, why did you come to me?"

The eldest princess: "You child, really, can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is the fifth young lady of the Cui family, Rong Xi."

Chu Zhao finally took a straight look at Cui Rongxi and didn't answer.
