Chapter 400

"Your Majesty, Chan'er misses you so much!"

Diao Chan looked at the gate of the hall, and longing for Liu Bian could not help but rise in her heart.

It can be said that during the days Liu Bian was on the expedition, the two prayed for Liu Bian every day.

They were afraid that Liu Bian would get hurt on the battlefield; at this moment, after hearing the news of victory, the hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Mother, this humble consort wants to go back to cultivate. From now on, this humble consort also wants to do something for His Majesty. I will come to accompany Mother tonight!"

Diao Chan suddenly bowed to He Lian, her expression somewhat serious.

Regarding Diao Chan's words, He Lian felt a bit sudden and could not help but speak:

"Chan'er, you have already cultivated to the fourth heaven of the Postnatal Realm, and you are still working so hard. When Bian'er returns, he will definitely be surprised."

"Unlike me, even with the spirit stones and pills Bian'er sent, I have only just broken through to the third heaven of the Postnatal Realm."

Speaking of this, He Lian was also a bit envious of Diao Chan's talent. Liu Bian had originally ordered people to send pills and spirit stones to both her and Diao Chan.

After more than twenty days of cultivation, Diao Chan had already broken through to the fourth heaven of the Postnatal Realm.

And she was also cultivating hard, but she had only just broken through to the third heaven of the Postnatal Realm, which made her have to sigh that talent is still very important!

Although her talent was not weak, compared to someone like Diao Chan, it was not enough.

Originally, after Liu Bian exchanged spirit stones and space rings for Zhang Liao and the others, he thought that Diao Chan and He Lian also needed them.

Moreover, at that time, the National Fortune Value in his hands was relatively sufficient, so he exchanged a high-grade storage ring for each of them.

By the way, he also exchanged one hundred low-grade spirit stones and one Qi Gathering Pill for the two.

For the two women, Liu Bian originally spent a full twenty thousand eight hundred points of National Fortune Value.

However, this was all worth it. One of the two women was the Empress Dowager of the Great Han Empire, and the other was Liu Bian's consort.

If their strength was too low in the future, it would be a bit unjustifiable, and he was not short of these resources.

"Mother is not bad either! You are already at the third heaven of the Postnatal Realm. If His Majesty sees it when he returns, he will definitely be very happy."

Diao Chan, seeing He Lian mention the matter of cultivation, was also a bit happy and praised her.

She reached this level by relying on spirit stones; she had not yet taken the Qi Gathering Pill Liu Bian sent her, otherwise, she could have broken through another heaven.

Liu Bian left introductions for them in the space rings, and they knew that taking this pill before the seventh heaven of the Postnatal Realm could guarantee a breakthrough of one heaven.

They were both smart people; good steel should be used on the blade. When the cultivation reached the sixth heaven of the Postnatal Realm, taking the Qi Gathering Pill would allow a breakthrough to the seventh heaven of the Postnatal Realm in one go.

In this way, resources could be maximized, and the further the cultivation went, the more time it would take to break through.

"Since you want to go cultivate, then go. Mother will not keep you; I will also cultivate!"

"Otherwise, Mother will be left far behind by you all!"

Seeing that Diao Chan wanted to cultivate, He Lian did not try to keep her anymore and joked with her.

"Then Mother, this humble consort will go back to cultivate!"

Seeing that He Lian agreed, Diao Chan bowed to her and intended to leave.

"Go, remember to come to Mother's place tonight. Tonight, let us celebrate Bian'er's victory properly!"

"Yes! Then this humble consort will come to find Mother tonight!"

"Go!"

After saying goodbye to He Lian, Diao Chan left the Changqiu Palace and returned to the palace Liu Bian had arranged for her.

And He Lian, seeing Diao Chan leave, also said to the palace maid Lan'er:

"Lan'er, tell people not to disturb this palace; this palace is going to cultivate!"

Upon hearing this, the palace maid Lan'er immediately replied respectfully:

"Please rest assured, Empress Dowager, this servant will not let anyone disturb your cultivation!"

"Good!"

After giving instructions to Lan'er, He Lian also went to cultivate.

At this time, Yuan Kui, who had returned to his mansion after the court session, said happily to Yuan Shao behind him:

"Shao'er, notify everyone and tell our people to spread the news of His Majesty's great victory!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao behind him also immediately replied:

"Yes, Uncle, this nephew will arrange it right away!"

After speaking, Yuan Shao intended to leave.

"By the way, after you finish the instructions, come over tonight to drink a few cups with this old man!"

"Hahaha, it has been a long time since I have been as happy as I am today!"

Yuan Kui said happily to Yuan Shao, who was about to leave.

"Yes, Uncle!"

After Yuan Shao said respectfully to Yuan Kui, he walked away quickly.

He wanted to spread this good news as quickly as possible.

There were not a few ministers like Yuan Kui; today, the civil and military officials who returned home from the Imperial Palace all happily ordered people to spread the news of the victory.

In the mansion of Grand Marshal Yang Bu, Yang Bu, having returned to the mansion, laughed and ordered people to prepare wine.

"Father, you are in a good mood after returning to the mansion today!"

"Might as well let this child guess; this matter should be related to His Majesty!"

At this time, a young man in front of Yang Bu said to Yang Bu with a smile.

After hearing the young man's words, Yang Bu looked at him with a face full of smiles.

The young man took a look at Yang Bu's expression and continued:

"And matters related to His Majesty only involve Liangzhou and Bingzhou."

"Therefore, this child guesses that it should be that His Majesty has already conquered one of these two provinces."

After speaking, the young man looked at Yang Bu confidently, waiting for his praise.

After hearing the young man's words, Yang Bu laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, Dezu! This time you guessed wrong!"

This young man was Yang Bu's son, the famous genius youth in history, Yang Xiu.

And after Yang Bu finished speaking, he saw that Yang Bu's face was full of astonishment.

This was the first time he had revealed such an expression.

Yang Xiu looked at Yang Bu in disbelief and asked in confusion:

"Father, this is related to His Majesty, and besides the wars in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, this child really cannot think of anything else that could make you so happy?"

Seeing Yang Xiu's expression, Yang Bu was also a bit proud.

This son of his, relying on being a bit clever, was always trying to guess other people's thoughts.

The key was that he could often guess them; this time, he was finally hit.

This was the first time he had seen Yang Xiu suffer a setback.

"Hahaha, my son did not guess entirely wrong!"

Yang Bu stroked his beard and continued to explain to Yang Xiu.

"This time, His Majesty did not just conquer one province, but conquered both Liangzhou and Bingzhou entirely."

"At this time, Liangzhou and Bingzhou are already entirely under the control of our imperial court."

"His Majesty will return to the capital with the army in a few days!"

After Yang Bu finished speaking, his face was full of pride, as if he were the one who had won the battle.

And at this time, Yang Xiu was also shocked by Liu Bian's battle record.

You must know that as the son of the current Grand Marshal Yang Bu, he clearly knew.

Liu Bian only took seventy thousand troops to Liangzhou this time.

And for Bingzhou, he only sent Zhang Liao's fifty thousand Bingzhou troops.

Moreover, regarding Zhang Liao's talent, to tell the truth, not many people in the court knew about it.

If it were not for the fact that Zhang Liao was personally appointed by Liu Bian.

It is estimated that many people in the court would have had opinions.
