Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

An Chen carefully handed the letter to Xu Zhen, who took it and read it carefully. He frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he analyzed: "From this letter, it can be seen that some dignitaries in Xishu have begun to pay attention to our every move. However, there is no need to worry too much. As long as we are cautious and take every step carefully, there will be no complications or major mistakes."

An Chen nodded frequently, expressing his deep agreement with what Xu Zhen said.

As the two discussed, the situation in Western Shu became increasingly confusing and complicated. The open and covert struggles between the crown prince and the king became increasingly fierce, and the supporters of both sides often fought in the streets, causing social order to be in chaos and the people to suffer. The people were miserable and looked forward to the arrival of peace and tranquility all the time.

Faced with such a grim situation, An Chen and Xu Zhen acted decisively and were determined to speed up the implementation of the plan. They actively contacted officials and generals who were disappointed with the king and the crown prince, and gradually expanded their influence. Thanks to their unremitting efforts, more and more like-minded people joined the resistance movement.

The prince and king of Western Shu finally woke up and realized that the situation had developed beyond their expectations. If they continued to let it go, the consequences would be disastrous. So, the two temporarily put aside their grudges and decided to join forces to resist the enemy and overcome the difficulties together.

The prince said: "Father, I was confused for a moment and believed the words of the treacherous ministers. I committed such a crime of disobedience. Please forgive me! I am willing to lead the army in person to fight the goddess to prove my loyalty and strength. I beg you to give me another chance!"

The king said: "Alas, now that things have come to this, we are father and son after all, but we killed each other because of slander, which led to the current situation, and gave others an opportunity to take advantage of it. My son, I am getting old, and the position of crown prince will be passed to you sooner or later, so why are you in such a hurry to fight for it?"

The prince knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, I know I was wrong! Please lend me some soldiers. I will capture An Chen alive to relieve your hatred!"

The king shook his head helplessly: "My son, it's good that you have this intention, but I really don't have any soldiers to mobilize." He knew that the country was short of troops, and after the civil strife, the morale of the soldiers was low. This stubborn son in front of him was not someone who could easily change his mind. If he wanted to save his life, he must not hand over the remaining troops.

At this time, a minister made a suggestion: "Your Majesty, perhaps we can consider recruiting some people from the underworld. They may be able to help us."

When the prince heard this plan, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "This is a good idea! I will immediately send an envoy to contact various forces in the martial arts world."

The king was very satisfied with this plan. As long as he could ensure his own safety without mobilizing his troops, he could leave other matters to the prince.

Before long, the prince successfully recruited a group of martial arts masters. Each of them possessed unique skills, some were skilled in martial arts, and some were well versed in military tactics. The prince led the team with confidence, determined to fight An Chen in a life-and-death contest.

However, the plans of the prince and the king are always under the close surveillance of An Chen and Xu Zhen. It is worth mentioning that many of the people who have joined the Jianghu are from the side of the goddess. They have received the grace of the goddess and are willing to go through life and death for the goddess in order to repay her kindness.

"Most of these gangsters are driven by money and may not work wholeheartedly for the prince." Xu Zhen analyzed calmly.

An Chen: "We can spread the news that the prince has withheld military pay and cause their dissatisfaction. Besides, the prince's current storehouse is indeed empty. It seems that he doesn't know that all his things have gone into Zhenzhen's pocket."

So they let spies spread rumors in the army, and these rumors spread quickly like a plague, and indeed aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the underworld. They began to complain, question and even get angry, and their trust in the prince gradually wavered.

At the same time, An Chen and Xu Zhen were also actively taking action in secret. They quietly contacted some loyal and reliable generals and secretly planned a thrilling mutiny. These generals knew the true face of the prince and were willing to fight for justice.

When the prince heard these rumors, he was furious. He could not tolerate his reputation being slandered in this way, so he immediately sent people to the storehouse to check, trying to use facts to smash these nonsense and prove to those people that what they heard was all rumors.

However, the facts gave the prince a heavy slap in the face. When his men opened several warehouses one after another, they were shocked to find that there was nothing inside! The warehouses should have been filled with rich supplies and treasures, but at this moment there was only desolation and silence.

The prince's face turned pale instantly, and he stared at the scene in disbelief with his eyes wide open. His plan was completely disrupted, and the move that was originally intended to stabilize the morale of the army turned out to be a farce. What's worse is that the doubts in the hearts of those newly recruited people in the martial arts world deepened when they saw this scene.

These people in the underworld were originally free and unrestrained, and they did not have too much obsession with power and wealth. Now seeing that the warehouse was empty, they realized that they might be involved in a meaningless dispute. So, they chose to leave without hesitation and find their own way.

The prince's men were stunned. They had gone through so much trouble to recruit people, but almost all of them left in the blink of an eye. Faced with such a situation, the prince felt helpless. After all, these people were erratic and he had no control over their whereabouts.

Originally, they were all people from the underworld, and the prince had no way to deal with them. Now that he has lost their support, the prince's power has been severely weakened, and he has fallen into an unprecedented predicament. And this storm has made the whole situation even more confusing and full of variables.

The king was gloating over the misfortune, secretly rejoicing in his heart, thinking that when both the crown prince and Anchen were defeated, he could sit back and reap the benefits and easily ascend the throne. But who could have thought that things would happen so quickly, beyond imagination! Before the army that had just assembled started fighting, more than half of them had already fled.

When the prince learned of this, he was so angry that he almost went crazy. He knew very well that he was in a desperate situation.

However, at this time, An Chen and Xu Zhen took the opportunity to speed up their planning. They planned to join forces with those generals who were still loyal to the king to launch a coup.

On a pitch-black night with howling winds, An Chen led the rebel army quietly and silently approaching the palace.

At the same time, Xu Zhen also responded in the palace and quickly opened the city gate. The rebels were like a tiger descending from the mountain, with great momentum and unstoppable force, and soon took control of the entire palace.

Standing on the towering city wall, the king and the prince watched the rebels pouring in like a tide outside the city, their hearts filled with endless fear and despair.

"What should we do? How should we deal with this?" the king asked in panic.

The prince gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Father, at this point, we have no way out. We can only fight to the death. Order the soldiers to defend the palace at all costs and never let them break in!"

However, the morale of the rebels was high, and they launched a fierce attack like a tide. Although the defenders on the city wall fought bravely, they were ultimately unable to withstand this powerful force, and the city gate was eventually breached.

An Chen and Xu Zhen led the army into the city like a tiger rushing down a mountain, and launched a final life-and-death duel with the king and the prince's army. The battle was extremely brutal, and both sides fought hard and it was hard to tell who would win. However, the rebels gradually gained the upper hand with their firm belief and fearless courage. After a thrilling battle, the rebels finally won, and the king and the prince were imprisoned.

With the abdication of the king and the crown prince, a new dawn dawned in Western Shu. The new ruler was ambitious and determined to bring peace and prosperity to the people and revitalize Western Shu.

When Emperor Anguo learned of the changes in Western Shu, he was very pleased. He immediately ordered the border to be opened and welcomed the refugees from Western Shu to settle down.

From then on, Xishu became the fourth city of Anguo, Nanfu City, and a new chapter began. With the change of regime, the country gradually returned to its former tranquility.

People were grateful to An Chen and Xu Zhen, and regarded them as gods who saved the people of West Shu from the dire straits. Not only did they get rid of the troubles of war, but they also tasted the long-lost rice and flour, and their lives were greatly improved.

What is even more gratifying is that some knowledgeable people came to Xishu to teach people how to read and write, and to impart professional methods of growing and preparing medicinal herbs. The spread of this knowledge has benefited the people of Xishu a lot, and their lives have become more fulfilling and meaningful.

In addition, each household was given their own farmland or medicinal garden, so that everyone could find something to do and earn food, clothing and other necessities through their own efforts, leading a self-sufficient life.

However, at this time, a member of the royal family who was in exile had a different idea. He tried to win over the people of the country, break away from Anguo, and set up a new family. He had just completed the strategic deployment with a group of wealthy businessmen who had the same idea, but he never expected that the place they chose would become their final burial place.

These people heard that An Chen and Xu Zhen were going to a remote mountain valley to visit the people living there. So, they decided to use the complex terrain of the mountain to set a trap in an attempt to capture An Chen and Xu Zhen in one fell swoop. To this end, they carefully planned and laid many ambushes in that place in advance.

This opportunity was a rare one for them, so they went all out and mobilized all their men in an attempt to eliminate the two men in one fell swoop.

However, what they didn't expect was that An Chen and Xu Zhen didn't pass by the ground according to the normal route. Instead, they flew through the sky in a flying vehicle.

Xu Zhen said in surprise: "Chen, there seem to be a lot of people lying in ambush below! Should we go down and take a look?"

An Chen replied calmly: "I can guess without even looking, those people are definitely coming for us."

Xu Zhen: "That will disappoint them. Now, the world is peaceful and people are living a stable and happy life, but they are still thinking about making trouble. They really don't know what is good for them! Such stubborn people will only waste air if they are alive and waste land if they die. Why don't we just send them off? It happens that these are all medicinal herb planting areas, and these herbs are in urgent need of fertilizer."

An Chen: "My wife is right! We don't know the power of the bomb developed by A Zhan yet. Why don't we let them try it out?"

Xu Zhen: "Well, that's a good idea. Let's go over there and send them to heaven!"

There was a loud bang that shook the ground, and the people lying in ambush below were blown to pieces before they could figure out what was happening.

An Chen looked at the tragic scene in front of him and sighed: "These people clearly knew that there were dangers on the mountain, but they still took the risk to move forward. They are simply courting death. They can't blame anyone else."

Xu Zhen said with some concern: "Will the debris and meat all over the ground scare passers-by?"

An Chen thought for a moment and said, "This forest is so large, there must be a lot of wild animals. Let's go check on the people in the village first, and then deal with these things when we come back."

Xu Zhen: "Okay, let's go first."

An Chen sighed, "No wonder we have never been able to find the place where they make the poison. If we hadn't raided the Prince's Mansion this time, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to find this place so quickly in such a short period of time!"

Xu Zhen echoed, "They are indeed cunning! It is unbelievable that they would choose to hide in such a remote and deep mountain forest. If we were not smart enough, we would not be able to find this secret base at all."

An Chen said to himself in confusion: "I just don't know whether the people here obey the king's orders or the prince's instructions? This is really puzzling. If we can't figure out the power behind them, our next action may encounter a lot of trouble."

Xu Zhen thought for a moment and replied, "Yeah, we actually forgot to find someone to ask. How about we each play one of the roles? This way we might be able to get some useful information."

An Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, my husband and I have already personally come out, why bother with all that? Just reveal your identity directly, I believe they won't dare to neglect it."

Xu Zhen is still relatively cautious. She analyzed: "Having said that, it is better to be fully prepared. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.

According to what the bees detected, we should be almost at our destination. But why can't we see even a single house below? Did I estimate the direction wrongly?"

An Chen looked around and asked doubtfully, "Maybe they built the house in a more hidden place, or used some special camouflage method. Let's look for it again."
