From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 322

When Zhou Yuan woke up, there was no one around him.

The clothes and luggage had been packed and loaded onto the carriage.

It was dawn, and there was some red in the east. A new day had arrived.

Zhou Yuan did not say goodbye to Jianjia, nor did he go to see Ningyue and Qu Ling. All his old friends had said goodbye yesterday, so he got on the carriage alone.

Fortunately, Li Yu'an had been waiting for a while on the carriage.

She did not wear makeup this time, but her face was still as white as snow, without any flaws.

Perhaps only a martial artist with profound Taoism could reach her state of purity, at least without any spots or acne.

"Don't look at it, it's meaningless."

Li Yu'an waved her hand in front of Zhou Yuan's eyes and said lightly: "My promise is always valid. When you are willing to go to Goryeo, you can do whatever you want with me. I will let you do whatever you want."

Zhou Yuan smiled, but shook his head and said: "When I just walked out of the house, do you know what I was thinking?"

Li Yu'an said: "What?"

Zhou Yuan said: "For the first time, I felt the reluctance to leave and the sadness of separation. I even wanted to go to the Central Plains and kill those pigs immediately, and then fly back immediately."

Li Yu'an said: "What does this mean?"

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment, then said: "Desire is the source of motivation for me."

"When I have something I desire, I will make unlimited efforts towards it."

"My heart of Taoism is firm."

"I believe in myself more than ever now and can handle the affairs of the Central Plains."

Li Yu'an couldn't help but ask: "Do you also understand the heart of Taoism?"

"I don't know."

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't understand Taoism, but I have read books and understand another sentence."

"What sentence?"

"Nietzsche said that if a person knows why he lives, he can endure any kind of life."

Li Yu'an nodded and said: "This is why I am willing to commit myself to you for Goryeo, otherwise I won't abuse my body."

Hey? Nima? Is this implying me?

Zhou Yuan glared and said, "What do you mean by humiliating me? It's your blessing to have my body. You don't understand how good I am."

Li Yu'an glanced at his crotch and shook her head, "You can't see the size anyway."

Zhou Yuan pointed at her and gritted his teeth and said, "I hope you don't have giant phobia, otherwise you will be scared in the future."

The two of them were arguing, but the carriage slowly stopped.

Ming Rui whispered, "Son-in-law, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead. The one named Tian Ren said he wants to see you."

"Tian Ren?"

Zhou Yuan frowned. What else does this spy from the Kaidai Dynasty have to say at this time?

He walked out, looked at the middle-aged man on the side of the road, and said lightly: "Move your carriage away."

Tian Ren waved his hand, signaling the carriage to move aside, and then smiled and said: "Lord Zhongwu, I came to give you a piece of advice, advising you not to send troops, it's not too late to regret now."

Zhou Yuan sneered: "What if it is not?"

Tian Ren said: "Your Majesty of our dynasty is a person favored by heaven, with good fortune, and the change of dynasty is the general trend. Lord Zhongwu is going against heaven, and there will be no good results."

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a firm materialist, I only believe in the historical materialism I know, of course... You don't have to understand these, I believe there is a word that will be more intuitive-get out!"

Tian Ren made way and said with a fist: "You will understand my advice today, and you will regret it then."

Zhou Yuan said: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I want you to regret it now."

The carriage rushed forward, and Zhou Yuan sat down with a cold face.

Li Yu'an suddenly said, "Actually, what that person said is right. Zhang Bailong is indeed blessed with good fortune."

"What?"

Zhou Yuan asked in confusion, "Don't talk nonsense. I only believe that Taoism can help you maintain your health, maintain your youth, and cultivate superb martial arts and deep internal strength, but don't talk to me about good fortune or heaven's secrets."

Li Yu'an frowned and said slowly, "The main thing is that I found that Zhang Bailong has good luck. God seems to be helping him."

"For example, after he burned down the county government office, he fled to Guangzhou and was chased by hundreds of constables. , but suddenly it rained heavily, dimming the whole world, giving him a chance to escape.

"You have to know that there have been few rains in the Central Plains in the past few years."

Zhou Yuan was stunned and stared: "No way? Is there anything similar?"

Li Yu'an said: "The villages and towns he first occupied, divided the fields, and started spring plowing. It happened to be a good time, while other places were still dry."

"This allowed him to achieve a bumper harvest last autumn, so the people's hearts were united and he grew rapidly."

Zhou Yuan was really silent this time.Is there really a so-called Son of the Plane in this world? Just like Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who can make meteorites fall from the sky?

Is this specially designed to deal with a time traveler like me?

Am I Wang Mang?

Zhou Yuan didn't believe these nonsense, but just said lightly: "Okay, I am more and more interested in the battle in the Central Plains."

The carriage finally arrived at the Fifth Army Camp. On the parade ground, 60,000 soldiers were ready for battle.

Zhou Yuan strode onto the stage and looked at the countless soldiers off the stage.

He took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brothers! Today I want to tell you a few words from my heart!"

"I am from Yunzhou, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River. I was born in a humble family. I have been hungry and cold all year round. My parents died early. I am lonely and helpless."

"Fortunately, my virtuous wife helped me. I killed hundreds of enemies in the Yunzhou riot, stood out and joined the Jinyiwei."

"When I first arrived in a big place like Lin'an Prefecture, I realized that the world of Dajin had been through many storms. The Central Plains, Shandong, Huguang, and Liangjiang all suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people were suffering."

"At that time, I was determined to do something for the world."

"Then there is today."

Countless soldiers looked at the Grand Commander on the stage, and for a while they were quite emotional.

Zhou Yuan shouted: "I think the world shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be full of wailing, corpses piled high, and people eating their own children."

"I think the people of the world should live and work in peace and contentment. I think everyone should have enough to eat and wear warm clothes. At least it shouldn't be the current situation."

"I sympathize with them, just as I was once one of them."

"At the end of the year, you made a mistake, and His Majesty wanted to exile you. I gave you advice, and ended up being stripped of my title."

"I don't regret it, because I sympathize with you, because I, like you, also come from a humble background."

At this point, Zhou Yuan used all his internal strength and shouted: "Yes! It's not a shame to come from a humble background. Only those who can bend and stretch can be a real man."

"We can't decide our origins, but we can decide our future!"

"You are soldiers! Your future is in your hands! Raise your swords to me!"

Sixty thousand soldiers raised their swords in unison!

Each of them had red eyes and gasped heavily.

Zhou Yuan said sternly: "No one is perfect, and you are the ones who have made mistakes."

"The world despises you as traitors, the court thinks you are criminals, and your family thinks you are useless."

"At this moment, do you have the courage to follow me to the Central Plains to fight, to kill for blood, to kill for dignity, to kill for a bright future, and to take back everything you have lost!"

"Do you have it?"

Sixty thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The drums of war were beating, and the sun pierced the sky.

The five military camps and sixty thousand troops are going to the battle!
