In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

What shocked the guards the most was the size of the two birds. The moment the two birds landed, it was as if a huge mountain had fallen to the ground. Although it did not cause the ground to shake, the strong airflow it generated made many guards on the scene stagger and barely manage to steady themselves.

Just as the guards were still in shock, figures leaped down from the backs of the two giant birds.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zheng quickly stepped forward, beaming, and said, "Mr. Chen, welcome."

Several days earlier, Yang Zheng had written a letter to Chenjia Village asking Chen Dao for help. Upon receiving the letter, Chen Dao did not hesitate at all and brought two Crimson Flame Chickens... no, they should now be called Spirit Feather Chickens.

Chenjia Village and Yang Zheng are now in a relationship of mutual benefit and shared loss. Chen Dao is naturally willing to help Yang Zheng conquer the capital. He also hopes to see Yang Zheng unify the world as soon as possible, establish a new dynasty, and bring a happy and stable life to the people of Kyushu.

Therefore, upon receiving the news, Chen Dao immediately gathered some of the Chen family army soldiers and rode the Spirit Feather Chickens to this place.

"King Liang".

Chen Dao smiled and bowed to Yang Zheng. Now that Yang Zheng had become king, Chen Dao could no longer treat him as casually as before.

"Mr. Chen, there's no need for such formalities!"

Yang Zheng waved his hand, gave Chen Dao a big hug, and said enthusiastically, "With Mr. Chen's help, I will definitely be able to break through the capital and overthrow the corrupt Xia Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zheng's personal guards nodded secretly. Nowadays, whether in Qingzhou or Liangzhou, there is a growing trend of deifying Chen Dao, with rumors circulating that Chen Dao is the Shennong of this era.

Both the common people and the soldiers of the Yang family army firmly believed in this claim, convinced that Chen Dao was the reincarnation of Shennong, who brought them a bountiful harvest and food security.

So when Yang Zheng said that with Chen Dao's help, they would definitely be able to overthrow the imperial court, none of the soldiers in the Yang family army present had any objections!

"You flatter me, Your Highness!"

Chen Dao smiled modestly, turned to the side to reveal a person behind him, and introduced him to Yang Zheng: "King Liang, in addition to bringing two giant birds, I have also brought one person for you this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianli'er, who was behind Chen Dao, immediately bowed to Yang Zheng: "I am Feng Yong, greetings to the King of Liang."

"Feng Yong?"

Yang Zheng frowned, feeling that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

At this moment, Chen Dao reminded him, "Feng Yong is known in the martial arts world as 'Thousand-Mile Ear'."

Thousands of ears?

Yang Zheng was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

To be honest, Yang Zheng didn't really like those so-called江湖人士 (jianghu figures), and even disliked them more than anything.

After all, heroes break the law with their martial arts. These martial artists are all powerful and have no respect for the law. Rather than calling them heroes, they are more like destabilizing factors in society. They kill and break the law at the drop of a hat, seriously endangering social stability.

But Qianli'er is different. Unlike other martial arts figures who are brave and ruthless and kill their entire families at the drop of a hat.

also……

Qianli'er is a well-known intelligence broker in Kyushu. For a military leader like Yang Zheng, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.

In other words, Qianli'er can help Yang Zheng.

Therefore, when Yang Zheng learned of Qianli'er's identity, he was overjoyed and grinned, saying, "Those who follow the righteous path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little. With Brother Feng's assistance, my determination to conquer the capital is even stronger."

Qianli'er, who was called Brother Feng, was flattered and said, "Your Highness is too kind."

"Not at all, not at all! I have long heard of Brother Feng's name. With Brother Feng's assistance, my army will surely be invincible!"

Yang Zheng's words may have contained some boasting about his ability to hear things from afar, but they were indeed his true thoughts.

It should be noted that Qianlier possesses messenger pigeons capable of rapidly transmitting messages. With Qianlier's assistance, the Yang family army's intelligence transmission will be much faster. This alone is enough to make Yang Zheng favor Qianlier.

After boasting to Qianli'er and Chen Dao, Yang Zheng led them to his tent to welcome Chen Dao and his party.

While enjoying the not-so-delicious food, Chen Dao asked, "Does the King of Liang intend to use the same method as when he conquered Youzhou Prefecture?"

"good."

Yang Zheng nodded: "Mr. Chen has also seen that the city walls of the capital are over ten zhang high. If our army were to forcibly attack the city, we would probably suffer heavy losses. Only by relying on the power of your two giant birds, young friend Chen, is there a chance to break through the city."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dao nodded. When he landed from the air, he had glanced at the direction of the capital from afar and naturally noticed the astonishingly tall city walls.

A city wall that is usually ten meters or so high is already considered a formidable barrier, let alone a city wall that is thirty meters high...

Chen Dao had never heard of such a thing.

With walls this high, it would be difficult for even martial artists to climb them, let alone ordinary soldiers, not to mention the garrison troops on the walls.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if the defending side had only a few thousand troops, they could easily withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops by relying on the terrain advantage of the city walls.

"Fortunately, I have Mr. Chen to help me."

Yang Zheng said with a smile, "There's no need to cross that formidable city wall; we can directly send our troops to the top of the city wall."

Looking at Chen Dao's young face, Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

From a cowherd to the current King of Liang, Yang Zheng has encountered countless people of all kinds, and among them, Chen Dao is undoubtedly the most special one, and also the one Yang Zheng is most grateful to.

Sometimes Yang Zheng couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't gone to Chenjia Village and met Chen Dao back then, would he be able to sit on the throne of Liang King now?

The answer is no!

Without Chen Dao's help, Yang Zheng would not have become the King of Liang, and he would probably still be trapped in Liangzhou, racking his brains for the livelihood of the people.

Without Chen Dao's help, he could not have conquered Qingzhou, let alone Youzhou and Mingzhou.

Without Chen Dao's help, he couldn't have raised such a large army and marched all the way to the capital in one fell swoop...

In short, in Yang Zheng's mind, Chen Dao was the greatest benefactor in his life, who changed his destiny and the destiny of all the people in the world.

"Mr. Chen, I, Yang, would like to offer you a toast."

Yang Zheng stood up, raised his glass with gratitude, and said, "May we end this chaotic world soon, pacify the land, and allow all the people to live a peaceful life."

Upon seeing Yang Zheng stand up, Yang Erlang, Qianli'er, Chen Dao, Fang Yong, and other soldiers of the Chen family army who had come with Chen Dao all stood up, raised their wine cups, and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

"May the King of Liang pacify the world soon and end this chaotic era!"
