The world of film and television begins from childhood

At least it is much better than those officials who take money but do not do their job and even want to cheat people.

Moreover, according to his investigation, although Qian Zhengqing was corrupt, he was not the kind of evil official who exploited the people in the countryside. This was one of the reasons why he went to find Qian Zhengqing.

Qian Zhengqing stroked his beard and said, "The place we are going to now is Gu Qingqing's residence. As long as I see Huang Jin, you can take her away at any time without any trouble."

Zhou Chen thanked him, and then the two of them sat quietly in the carriage.

After a while, Qian Zhengqing suddenly asked curiously: "Young man, I want to ask, how did you earn this 1,000 taels of gold? Is there any good way to make money? I have some spare money, I wonder if you can take me with you?"

Zhou Chen burst out laughing when he heard this. This Lord Qian was quite interesting. He actually came up with this idea.

"Master Qian, you are joking. My way of making money is not suitable for Master Qian because it is not a legitimate way. Master Qian is an official appointed by the court. There is really no need for him to take risks to make this money."

When Qian Zhengqing heard that the money was not from a legitimate source, he lost interest. He just wanted to make some stable money and didn't want to take any risks.

Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination.

"Miss Gu lives inside. I have arranged two maids for her."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian. Sorry for the trouble."

Zhou Chen followed Qian Zhengqing into the side yard, and then saw Gu Qingqing coming towards them with two maids.

"Mr. Qian."

Zhou Chen looked at Gu Qingqing. In addition to the time he just traveled through time, he had seen Gu Qingqing twice later, but both times were more than a year ago.

At that time, Gu Qingqing was young, beautiful, lively and elegant, a pampered and innocent girl.

But at this moment, Gu Qingqing was dignified and generous, with a cold face, giving people a feeling that she was keeping people at a distance. She no longer had the kindness, purity, innocence and liveliness she had before.

Qian Zhengqing nodded and said, "Miss Gu, didn't you always want to know who asked me to save you? Today I brought him here, this young man. He asked me to save you. He is your savior."

Gu Qingqing was startled and turned to look at Zhou Chen who was standing next to Qian Zhengqing. After looking at him carefully for a while, she was sure that she did not know this tall and handsome young man, but that did not stop her from expressing her gratitude.

"Qingqing thanks you for saving me."

As she said this, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen flashed and appeared in front of Gu Qingqing and held her arm.

"Miss Gu, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."

When Zhou Chen grabbed her arm, Gu Qingqing's body trembled, but thinking that it was Zhou Chen who saved her, she forced herself not to move.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen let go of his hand in time.

Qian Zhengqing said at this time: "Young man, I have already done what you asked me to do. I hope you will not break your promise."

Zhou Chen replied: "Don't worry, sir, you will receive the money tonight."

"In that case, I will leave first."

Qian Zhengqing didn't stay any longer and left the villa directly.

As soon as Qian Zhengqing left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little weird. Gu Qingqing waved her hand and asked the two maids to leave, leaving only her and Zhou Chen.

She bowed to Zhou Chen and said, "My lord, I cannot repay your kindness in saving my life. If you need anything, just tell me and I will do whatever I can."

After staying in the Jiaofangsi for several months, she has faced the reality. She feels that since Zhou Chen can ask the county magistrate to redeem her, he must have something to ask for.

But what did she have now that was worth others' desire? Only this innocent body, even though she was desperate, she had no choice.

When she entered the Jiaofangsi, she actually wanted to commit suicide, but her mother told her to live well before she died, saying that as long as she was alive, there was hope.

Although she didn't see any hope, she still listened to her mother's words and managed to survive.

Zhou Chen saved her and helped her to change from a lowly person to a good one. Committing herself to Zhou Chen was a hundred times better than staying in the Jiaofangsi.

When Zhou Chen heard what Gu Qingqing said, he knew she had misunderstood.

"Miss Gu, do you still remember that three years ago in Linhai County, you gave a little beggar half a tael of silver as a reward?"

Zhou Chen's words stunned Gu Qingqing, and memories came flooding back. It was when their family had just arrived in Linhai County. It was the first time she took her maid to wander around the county and saw a scarred, dirty and disheveled little beggar. She was so kind-hearted that she gave the little beggar the change she had with her.

"You, how do you know?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Because I am that little beggar. Your change gave me a chance to survive, and today, I saved you from danger, so we are even. You don't owe me anything."

Gu Qingqing blurted out: "Are you that little beggar? How is it possible, you, you..."

She was really shocked. The Zhou Chen in front of her was so handsome and charming. She could not associate him with the little beggar from before.

"Even so, I only gave you a little change, but now you have helped me so much, it's totally different."

"It may not seem equal to you, but to me, it is fair. So Miss Gu, you don't have to feel like you owe me anything, and you don't have to think about repaying me. You are a free man now, you can do whatever you want, and you don't have to be so restrained."

Even when she was having dinner at the same table with Zhou Chen, Gu Qingqing still hadn't fully recovered from her shock, because Zhou Chen's appearance was so dreamy. Her unintentional action back then actually became the act that saved her own destiny.

Chapter 1076: The Road to the Jianghu, Two People

A month later, Zhou Chen returned to Chenjia Village.

As soon as he came back, he was criticized by Li Lianhua.

"Where have you been? You've been gone for two months, and you didn't even send me a message? Do you know how anxious I was waiting for you?"

"You're still laughing. You still have the nerve to laugh. Now I'm talking about your problem. I bought a horse and was ready to train with you, but you haven't sent any news for two months. I've almost finished the training, and you came back. Did you do it on purpose? Are you teasing me on purpose?"

Li Lianhua put her hands on her hips, looked ferocious, and shouted at Zhou Chen in a completely ungraceful manner, her saliva almost spraying on Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen took a step back unconsciously and explained: "I went to do something and wasted time. It was not intentional. Why are you so angry?"

Li Lianhua questioned: "How dare you ask me this? Don't you know why I lost my temper?"

Zhou Chen smiled, walked over and hugged his neck, saying: "You also said that my martial arts skills are pretty good now. As long as I don't show off too much, it won't be a problem to save my life."

"hehe."

Li Lianhua sneered and tried to break free, but failed.

"I was just complimenting you. What do you think the martial arts world is like? Do you think others will really fight you one-on-one fairly? The martial arts world is dangerous. Many people have no morals at all. They attack by surprise, poison, cheat, and deceive. It is hard to guard against them. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, they will still die if you are hit."

In the past, he always believed that as long as his martial arts skills were high enough, he would be able to win the support of the people and uphold justice in the martial arts world.

But his experience after the battle in the East China Sea made him realize that he was too naive and too conceited. The world of martial arts was far from as simple as he saw, and he could not guess the human heart.

He was very worried as there had been no news of Zhou Chen for two months. He had been in Chenjia Village for nearly two years and he and Zhou Chen had already become very familiar with each other. Compared with his former comrades in the Si Gumen sect, his friendship with Zhou Chen was purer and more sincere.

He originally thought that he had bid farewell to the past and would wander the world alone, but now, he has regarded Zhou Chen as his best friend.

They had also agreed to travel around the world together, but before they even started, there was no news from Zhou Chen. How could he not be worried?

Zhou Chen knew that Li Lianhua was angry because she was worried about him.

"I know, I understand. This time it's my fault. If something happens next time, I will warn you in advance. Okay?"

Li Lianhua snorted lightly, with a proud look on her face: "No need, whether you are dead or alive has nothing to do with me, I am just worried that if you die, I won't be able to collect your body."

"You still want to collect my body? You're overthinking it. I'm a very tough person. I can easily live to be over a hundred years old."

This is not a bragging show for Zhou Chen. His skills are there. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he can easily live to be over a hundred years old.

Li Lianhua was very disdainful: "With your condition, if you really enter the martial arts world, you will live to be a hundred years old. It would be good if you can live to thirty."

"Xiaohua, are you cursing me? Do you think you won't live to be 30, so you want to drag me along with you and keep me company in the underworld?"

"Now that you put it that way, it's not bad."

"You have a nice idea. I have to live in this world for at least 30 years, so before that, you have to live well. Otherwise, it will be too boring without even someone to argue with."

"Okay, I'll try."

During the time Zhou Chen was away, Li Lianhua spent more than half a month selecting six good horses, spending all their money, and even losing his own token as the leader of the Sigumen Sect.

Over the next month, he used the techniques he learned from the horse seller to start training the horses. Now the six horses can barely pull their RV, but only for a short distance, and then the horses need to rest.

"This won't work. Running a few miles won't work. It will waste too much time."

Zhou Chen frowned after hearing this. This speed was not as fast as his own walking. He didn't need to run very fast, but it was too slow and inefficient.

Li Lianhua shrugged and said, "I can't do anything about it. With this efficiency, we can just buy two more horses. But then, eight horses will pull together, which will be more troublesome to drive. Besides, it's not cheap to feed eight horses. We can do without food and water, but horses can't."

Zhou Chen pondered and said, "I have a way to get the silver. Don't worry about driving. I can give it a try."

I thought to myself that I am an experienced driver after all, and have professional-level train driving skills. Although a horse is not a car, it is still a means of transportation and is not much different. So it should be feasible.

Li Lianhua looked skeptical. "Do you have a way to make money? Fishing, right? That won't work. We have decided to go out and travel. We can't always find water to fish."

"Catch you, you eat fish every day, and you're still not full? Don't talk nonsense, I said there is a way, and there is a way."

"Okay, you have the final say, then you have to earn money for me to buy two horses first."

"No problem, take a day off today, and I'll take you to make money tomorrow and let you see it."

In the evening of the next day, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua escaped from an underground gambling den. They ran wildly all the way, followed by a group of thugs armed with sticks and swords.

"Don't run, catch them. They dare to cheat in our casino. Catch them and chop them to death."

Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua ran wildly all the way, but looking at their expressions they did not show any panic at all. They seemed to be at ease while running and even talked.

"Is this the way you said to make money? I must be crazy to believe you."

"Just tell me whether you made money or not."

Li Lianhua held the gold and silver in her arms and remained silent. Not only did she make money, but she also made a lot of money.

"I have nothing to say. To tell you the truth, my brother's nickname back then was known as the 'Shilipo God of Gamblers'."

"I am still the Sword God of Shilipo."

"I know you are the Sword God, so can you run faster and catch up with me?"

"No problem, watch me, the Posha Step."

Li Lianhua suddenly accelerated, stepped on the surrounding buildings, and flew out quickly like a butterfly.

"Fuck, Xiaohua, you have no martial ethics."

Naturally, the thugs could not catch up with Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua. They quickly fled outside the city, then got together, took out all the gold and silver, and began to divide the loot.

Looking at the pile of gold and silver, Li Lianhua was a little dazed.

"I'm so stupid. If I had known you had this ability, why would I have pawned my token? It's such a big loss."

Zhou Chen said angrily: "Don't think about your broken token. Even the Sigu Sect is gone, so your sect master token is useless."

Li Lianhua rolled her eyes, and then her expression turned serious.

"Although it is very profitable to go to an underground gambling house, it is better not to do this kind of thing. After all, it is ill-gotten gains."

"I think you are used to being a hero. It is true that it is ill-gotten gains, but it is the casino that is cheating others. We are cheating the casino."

"That's true, but I think it's better to go less often."

"I know. You think you are the leader of the martial arts world. I am doing this for our Lotus Tower. Have you ever seen me go to an underground gambling house before?"

Zhou Chen really has no addiction to gambling. The two times he went to the underground casino to gamble were because he was in urgent need of money and he happened to lose nine times out of ten.

If he wasn't short of money, there would be no need for him to gamble to win money.

With enough money, Li Lianhua bought two more horses, and then the two of them began to train horses to pull Lianhualou.

Zhou Chen discovered that he, an old driver, was really not good at driving a horse-drawn carriage. Two or three horses were no problem, but with eight horses pulling together, it would be very difficult for him to drive.

After training with Li Lianhua for another two months and making sure there were no problems, they finally set off.

On the day of leaving, all the villagers of Chenjia Village came to see them off. Zhou Chen left some money to the village chief, Uncle Chen Liu, and asked him to take care of their house in the village. After saying goodbye to the villagers, the two of them drove away from Chenjia Village in the Lotus Tower.

Although he has lived in Chenjia Village for more than three years, Zhou Chen has not brought much changes to the village. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Change is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

…………

Driving a building was indeed very eye-catching. In a blink of an eye, a few months had passed. Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua set out from the East China Sea and had passed through two county towns.

However, they seldom enter the city unless they need supplies. Otherwise, they spend most of their time in the Lotus Tower, and occasionally go to villages and towns to stay and recuperate for a few days.

They are nothing. The main thing is that the horses need enough rest and feed. After all, the eight horses are now the main force of their operations.

During this process, some people also had the idea of ​​attacking the Lotus Tower, but they were obviously not qualified and were all defeated by Zhou Chen. Although no one was killed, they were still punished.

Late at night, on the rooftop of Lotus Building, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua were lying casually.

"Achen, you disappeared for two months last time, saying you were repaying a favor. What favor did you repay for two months?"
