A man cannot stand without being ruthless. The reason why Jinshalou can become the world's number one gold-consuming den is not just because of its many beauties, good service, many kinds of entertainment, but more importantly, they have the military force to suppress the enemy.

But Zhou Chen did not see Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan, but he saw a group of people gathered in another room on the second floor.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen. We have some private matters to deal with in Jinsha Tower. Please leave first."

"No hurry, we want to stay and watch the fun, is that possible?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the woman in charge frowned slightly.

"Sir, we need to deal with some personal matters. You are all noble. If we accidentally hurt you, we at Jinsha Tower cannot afford it."

Ren Ruyi was very impatient with Zhou Chen's politeness and said coldly, "Why, we won't leave, are you going to force us to leave?"

"Son..."

The person in charge was about to speak when he saw something had happened over there. A fight had broken out and people were falling to the ground. Some people were even knocked flying.

Then two figures were seen flying out from the second floor and landing on the first floor. But when they came down, they found that the first floor was already surrounded by thugs from the Jinsha Building. If they jumped down, they would be like lambs walking into a tiger's mouth.

"Laoning, save me."

There was only a sharp scream, and the beating became more intense, but soon a woman's voice was heard.

"Master Ning, if you don't stop, I will kill him."

So the fighting soon stopped.

In the crowd, a woman in red was holding a knife against Yu Shisan's throat. Ning Yuanzhou, who was surrounded by everyone, could only drop his weapon in displeasure.

"Yu Shisan, you really did a lot of harm to others."

Ning Yuanzhou was very angry. He had listened to Zhou Chen's words and brought Yu Shisan here, hoping to get useful information from Yu Shisan's old lover.

They did meet the old lover, but the problem was that the other person was so mad at Thirteen that he started fighting without saying a few words and even called so many people over that they were really outnumbered.

Yu Shisan was even more depressed: "Lao Ning, how can you blame me for this? If you want to blame someone, blame Lao Zhou. If it weren't for him, why would I come here? He is the one who caused so much harm to others."

"Hey, hey, Yu Shisan, I gave you a chance to rekindle our old relationship, why are you still saying bad things about me?"

The sudden interruption of the voice made everyone present look surprised, while Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan showed joy on their faces and looked up towards the second floor.

"Old Zhou."

"Qian Zhao, Yuan Lu, why are you here too?"

Hearing the shouts of Yu Shisan and Ning Yuanzhou, Jin Meiniang and others who had captured Yu Shisan also looked towards the second floor.

Zhou Chen said to Ren Ruyi beside him: "Let's go together?"

As he said that, he took the lead and jumped from the second floor into the crowd. Then Ren Ruyi followed Zhou Chen without hesitation and landed nimbly beside Zhou Chen.

"Lao Ning, Thirteen, it looks like you're in trouble?"

When Yu Shisan saw Zhou Chen, he immediately started cursing: "Old Zhou, are you a brother? You actually hurt me. I treat you as a brother, but what do you treat me as?"

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "You are so lenient everywhere, and you blame me?"

"I……"

Yu Shisan was about to refute, but the next moment he found that the knife on his neck had been put down. He turned to look at Jin Meiniang in confusion and forgot about running away.

But at this time, Jin Meiniang was staring blankly ahead, her face full of excitement, and her breathing became heavy.

"Your honor."

This address made Ren Ruyi's cold expression suddenly show a hint of surprise. He looked at Jin Meiniang, who was dressed in red and gorgeously, in surprise.

"Really you?"

After taking a few more glances, Jin Meiniang confirmed Ren Ruyi's identity. In the incredulous gazes of everyone, she knelt down with excitement on her face.

"Your Majesty, I am glad to see you again."

Ren Ruyi walked slowly forward and came in front of Jin Meiniang. He looked at the kneeling woman, slowly squatted down, looked at her carefully, and then his face showed excitement.

"You are, Linlang?"

Jin Meiniang nodded, her tone excited: "Yes, Your Majesty, it's me, it's me, I finally see you again, and I see that you are doing well, your subordinate, your subordinate..."

"what's the situation?"

Yu Shisan took the opportunity to run to Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou and asked Zhou Chen in a low voice.

Zhou Chen certainly knew what was going on, but he whispered, "I'm not sure, maybe he was Ruyi's former subordinate."

"Could it be such a coincidence?"

Yu Shisan found it unbelievable. It was ok that Jin Meiniang was his old lover, but how come she had become Ren Ruyi's subordinate now?

Ning Yuanzhou also found it very strange. The leader of the Jinsha Gang was a subordinate of Ren Ruyi, but wasn't Ren Ruyi a former Zhuyi Guard? Could it be that Jin Meiniang was related to Zhuyi Guard?

Jin Meiniang and Ren Ruyi recognized each other, and both were very excited. As for the things that happened with Yu Shisan, Jin Meiniang put them out of her mind and only wanted to reminisce about the past.

So, Jin Meiniang and Ren Ruyi went to reminisce about the past, while Zhou Chen and the others stayed in another room, waiting.

"Zhou Chen, have you known about the relationship between Jin Meiniang and Ren Ruyi for a long time?"

While waiting, Ning Yuanzhou suddenly asked Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen denied it, of course: "You think I'm a god, how would I know they have this relationship? According to Ruyi, she left Zhuyiwei five years ago and stayed in the countryside. Later, she was captured by Zhuyiwei and taken to Baiqueying. During that time, her subordinates were confiscated. So this Jin Meiniang was most likely Ruyi's subordinate in Zhuyiwei."

As he said this, he also shifted the blame to someone else: "Thirteen, this Jin Mei Niang is your old lover, don't you know her background?"

Yu Shisan shouted, "I don't know at all. When I first met her, her face was covered with wounds, but I didn't dislike her. I even said she was the most beautiful lady in the world. What's more, I only spent three days with her, but she insisted on marrying me. I was so scared that I had to run away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw everyone looking at him with contempt, which made him even more unhappy.

"What are you looking at? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I, Yu Shisan, am a prodigal son. A prodigal son."

"Humph."

Even more disdainful.

Ren Ruyi and Jin Meiniang reunited after a long separation and chatted for the whole night. It was not until the next morning that they sent someone to call Zhou Chen over.

Ren Ruyi took the initiative to introduce Jin Meiniang: "Meiniang, let me introduce you, this is me..."

Seeing that Ren Ruyi didn't know how to introduce him, Zhou Chen took the initiative to help her out: "The child's father."

Jin Meiniang was very surprised. Although Ren Ruyi had already told her about Zhou Chen last night, Zhou Chen's direct introduction still surprised her. What surprised her even more was that her master did not refute or express dissatisfaction at all, but instead smiled.

"Mei Niang has met Master Zhou."

"Boss Jin, there's no need to be so polite."

The three chatted for a few sentences, and then Zhou Chen called Ning Yuanzhou and asked Jin Meiniang to tell him the information about the royal relatives of Anguo. Ning Yuanzhou listened very carefully.

It was almost noon and Jin Meiniang wanted to keep everyone for lunch, but Ning Yuanzhou refused and took Yang Ying and the others back to their residence. However, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi stayed for the time being.

Ren Ruyi and Jin Meiniang still had things to talk about, so Zhou Chen just kept them company and didn't go back until the evening.

Ren Ruyi was very happy to see her old friend again. Even though it was late, she still asked Zhou Chen to drink with her.

"Zhou Chen, I'm really happy today. I was able to escape alive because Linlang risked her life to save me. Now I know that she is fine and is living so well. I'm really happy."

Ren Ruyi was not an emotional person, and there were very few people who were close to her. Linlang was one of her most capable and loyal subordinates. Seeing her again now really made her feel as if she were in another world.

"If you're happy, I'll drink one more cup with you. After you finish, have a good sleep. You'll both be fine from now on."

"I heard from Mei Niang that she took over the Jinsha Gang and founded the Jinsha Building and Jinbao Store. She really made the most of her strengths. I am happy for her and I envy her for being able to do something she likes, unlike me."

Ren Ruyi looked lonely. Her biggest wish now was to avenge Queen Zhaojie. As for what to do after revenge, she really didn't know.

Zhou Chen said: "Aren't you going to have a baby with me? Isn't this what you want to do?"

"Giving birth to a child is to fulfill the queen's last wish. What I want to say is that I still don't know what I really want to do."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know now. Think about it slowly and look for it slowly. Sooner or later you will find it. When the time comes, I will accompany you."

Ren Ruyi looked at Zhou Chen: "You accompany me? Don't you have anything you want to do?"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, I traveled around the world before, but traveling around the world means you can do anything. If there is something you want to do, I can accompany you to do it. There is no conflict at all."

Ren Ruyi smiled slightly, and her depressed mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"Okay, I'll be the first to tell you when I think of it."

"It's a word."

A carrier pigeon suddenly flew into the yard and then landed on Zhou Chen's wrist.

Chapter 1407: The Envoy Beats Li Tongguang

Zhou Chen skillfully took the letter from the pigeon's feet, opened it and took a look, then handed it to Ren Ruyi.

"what?"

"News about your mother."

When Ren Ruyi heard this, he hurriedly took it. He frowned at first, but then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Thank you."

There was not much content in the letter. It just said that Liudaotang had sent someone to the countryside to take over as Ruyi's adoptive mother, but her adoptive mother was not very cooperative and was unwilling to leave with them, so she was attacked by Zhuyiwei's people. Fortunately, Zhou Chen arranged for someone to protect her secretly, so that Zhuyiwei's people returned empty-handed.

Now, her stepmother Ouyang has been rescued by people arranged by Zhou Chen and brought to Wudu, living in the small courtyard where Zhou Chen lived before.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "With a relationship like ours, there's no need to thank me. There's one more thing, about Empress Zhaojie."

Ren Ruyi immediately asked anxiously: "Have you found the murderer who killed the queen?"

"There's no need to check. You already have a guess in your mind, but you just don't want to believe it and want to find more definite evidence, right?"

Ren Ruyi remained silent. How could she not guess that Empress Zhaojie was the Empress of Anguo, the supreme Empress of Anguo. Who could kill the Empress of a country?

But speculation is speculation, she still needs definite evidence, and she also wants to know why Queen Zhaojie died, and then she will avenge Queen Zhaojie.

"But don't worry. When we get to Anguo, I will have Lao Ning give you all the results of the investigation into Empress Zhaojie. If you want revenge, I will accompany you."

"Aren't you afraid?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"afraid?"

Zhou Chen smiled. He didn't know how many years it had been since this word appeared in his dictionary.

"More than anything else, what scares me is that you might be in danger."

The delegation stayed in Jingcheng for several days and then headed to its next destination, Hexian County.

The place of He County is also very important in the plot. Many major events have happened here. In the future, when Beipan invades the Central Plains, it will have a decisive battle with the two countries of Anwu here.

After arriving at Hexian Posthouse, Ren Ruyi decided to go to Qingfeng Temple immediately because she had already contacted Zhuyiwei and set a meeting time. She knew Zhuyiwei's habits and knew that they would most likely arrive early, so she also planned to investigate in advance and catch the other party off guard.

Zhou Chen said that he would go with her. Ren Ruyi originally disagreed, but Zhou Chen said that he would just follow her secretly and would not show up unless she called him.

Seeing Zhou Chen's insistence, Ren Ruyi agreed, and the two of them set out from the inn and headed straight for Qingfeng Temple.

Just as Ren Ruyi said, the people of Zhuyiwei did arrive first. They intended to plot against Ren Ruyi, but they didn't know that Ren Ruyi knew them very well. Instead, they were counter-plotted by Ren Ruyi and killed one of them first. When the reinforcements of Zhuyiwei arrived and surrounded her, Zhou Chen appeared from the dark to help, and the two of them joined forces to defeat Zhuyiwei.

Although he did not get accurate information, Ren Ruyi also learned important intelligence from them and determined a range.

When Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi returned to the mission, they found that the Hexian Posthouse was in chaos and many places had been burned down.

When they met Yu Shisan and the others, they learned that not long after they left yesterday, Yang Ying's lover Zheng Qingyun came to the inn and secretly met with Yang Ying.

But because Ning Yuanzhou was still in the delegation, Zheng Qingyun did not cause any trouble. Also, with Zhou Chen's reminder before he left, everyone in the delegation was on guard.

At night, a large group of people suddenly attacked the post station, but the guards of the delegation who had been prepared tried their best to protect the post station. Although the post station looked miserable, most of the bodies were of the attackers, and there were very few casualties in the delegation.

However, Zheng Qingyun took Yang Ying away in the chaos. At this time, Ning Yuanzhou was leading people to chase him, and he has not returned yet.

"It's normal for her to be cheated by a man at her age."

Yu Shisan showed pity on his face, and then angrily cursed: "That guard Zheng Qingyun, how dare he do such a thing? He can do such a thing to such a delicate young lady like Your Highness. He is really not a man."

Thinking of how the princess had resisted them for Zheng Qingyun, Yu Shisan and the others felt very uncomfortable, because they all had the same idea that Zheng Qingyun had bad intentions, otherwise how could he run all the way from Wudu to Hexian.

Although the whereabouts of their delegation were not top secret, it was definitely not something that a mere palace guard could know.

It was not until the afternoon that Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu brought Yang Ying back. However, Yang Ying was in a very bad condition and hid in the room after returning.

"Ren Ruyi, please go and see His Highness." Ning Yuanzhou asked Ren Ruyi.

All the people here are men, only Ren Ruyi is a woman, who can communicate better with Yang Ying.
