The world of film and television begins from childhood

Haitang Duoduo said carelessly, "Yes, I came here to see you off. You said you would take me to eat all the delicious food in Shangjing City, but now you're leaving after only trying a few restaurants. Isn't that too irresponsible?"

"I can't help it. Time is running out. If I don't leave now, it might be too late. Next time, next time I come to the capital, I'll take you out to eat."

"Hey, there's no sincerity at all."

Haitang Duoduo rolled her eyes and threw a long wooden box in her hand towards Zhou Chen.

"Your Majesty asked me to bring this to you."

Zhou Chen took it, opened it and saw that it was actually a sword, an excellent sword.

"Even if you are a grandmaster, as a swordsman, how can you not have a sword of your own?"

Zhou Chen took out the sword, pulled it out smoothly, looked at the shining sword, and praised: "Good sword, thank your Majesty for me, I accept it."

Haitang Duoduo stopped talking and just nodded at Langtao next to her.

Lang Tao then bowed respectfully to Zhou Chen. He was also a martial arts fanatic. In the way of martial arts, the most accomplished ones come first. He respected Zhou Chen because of his strength as a grandmaster.

"Sir, my master asked me to come and see you off. My master said that he looks forward to meeting you again."

Zhou Chen also bowed and said, "Thank you very much. Please also tell me that I am looking forward to the day when we meet again."

After saying goodbye, Zhou Chen was about to drive his horse away, but at this moment, Haitang Duoduo suddenly asked a question for some unknown reason.

"Hey, Zhou Chen, where are you going?"

Zhou Chen paused for a moment, then replied: "Dongyi City."

Hearing this answer, Haitang Duoduo and Langtao's eyes lit up at the same time. They both understood what Zhou Chen meant.

"Are you going to fight Si Gu Jian?" Haitang Duoduo asked impatiently.

"Yes."

"Take me with you, and I'll go too."

Haitang Duoduo directly expressed her thoughts and rode her horse to Zhou Chen's side.

"I really want to see the duel between the two strongest swordsmen in the world."

Lang Tao also said anxiously: "Junior sister, His Majesty and the Queen Mother cannot do without you, so I will accompany you to Dongyi City. Sir, I am very familiar with this route, so I will lead the way and arrange everything on the way."

Haitang Duoduo was immediately furious: "Brother, how could you do this? Master cannot be without someone by his side. You should go back to accompany Master. I am more familiar with Zhou Chen, so I am more suitable to lead the way than you."

"Junior sister, this is wrong. You are the Saint of Qi, and a Saint cannot leave Qi casually."

"put……"

She was about to curse, but she stopped herself in time and shouted angrily: "It doesn't matter if this saint is not worthy of being one."

Watching the argument between the senior and junior brothers and sisters, Zhou Chen patted the agitated Dark Horse.

"I didn't think I asked you to lead the way?"

The argument came to an abrupt end. Langtao was a little embarrassed, but Haitang Duoduo didn't have so many concerns.

"No need to lead the way. I will accompany you. It's so boring to travel alone. I can also chat with you. I have a good relationship with the princess. I think we will have something to talk about."

Wow, even Zhan Pianpian was brought up, which made Lang Tao not know what to say for a moment.

In the end, Lang Tao was defeated. It was impossible for the two of them to leave together. One of them had to stay behind to guard the palace and protect the little emperor. Since Haitang Duoduo left, he had to stay.

Zhou Chen and Haitang Duoduo set out from outside Shangjing City together, heading for Dongyi City.

Just like the last time he came to the capital, Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to travel and was quite casual.

Along the way, he and Haitang Duoduo quickly became familiar with each other. It was indeed not lonely walking together, especially since they had many common topics, which naturally made the journey more interesting.

Haitang Duoduo was very interested in Zhou Chen's Ruyi Power, and Zhou Chen was generous in giving her advice and explaining the characteristics of Ruyi Power to her.

Haitang Duoduo's talent in martial arts is truly amazing, and she learns martial arts very quickly.

Although Ku He is a grandmaster, Zhou Chen is sure that when it comes to teaching disciples, he cannot compare to himself no matter how hard he tries.

Haitang Duoduo has also deeply realized this point during this period. Zhou Chen's explanation and analysis of martial arts are more accurate and thorough than those of her master. In particular, many of the things Zhou Chen said were things she had never heard of before, which greatly promoted her martial arts.

In the past, she was only amazed at Zhou Chen’s talent in martial arts, but now, she admired Zhou Chen in all aspects. It turned out that anyone who could become a grandmaster was not simple.

Although they walked at a leisurely pace, they still arrived at Dongyi City twenty days later.

Different from the previous situation in Shangjing City, as his first fight with the grandmaster, he chose a special day and a special place.

But this time he didn't care so much and went straight to the outside of Dongyi City, releasing his sword intent in the direction of Dongyi City.

Astonishing sword intent rose into the sky, and not long after, a terrifying sword intent also erupted in Dongyi City, filled with brutality and murderous intent.

This was the first time Zhou Chen and Si Gu Jian met, but without any words between the two, their sword intents collided directly.

The duel between the two most powerful grandmaster swordsmen in the world has begun!

Unlike the previous battle with Ku He, Si Gu Jian was a madman. He didn't have so many scruples and his attacks were much more decisive and ruthless.

Zhou Chen was not afraid of such a duel at all. The battle with Ku He was just to verify his martial arts. The battle with Si Gu Jian was his real battle after he became a grandmaster.

Only a few people saw the entire battle.

The battle lasted for three days and ended suddenly. No one knew what the final outcome was, not even the few people who were watching the battle.

But only those who were near Dongyi City during those three days knew how horrific those three days were and how terrible the destructive power was...

After the battle of Dongyi City, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Haitang Duoduo. This time, Haitang Duoduo had many more unspeakable emotions than before, but she was able to control herself and parted with Zhou Chen calmly.

After several months, the man and the horse returned to the territory of Qing Kingdom.

Late at night, Zhou Chen found a place to rest in the wild.

"Si Gu Jian is indeed a madman, but he is also a good opponent. People say that Si Gu Jian is heartless and ruthless, but haha..."

Zhou Chen leaned against the tree and recalled the battle with Si Gu Jian.

In the field of martial arts, he had met countless opponents, winning and losing, but this was the first time he had met an opponent like Si Gu Jian.

What Ye Liuyun said was right. The other three grand masters have gradually lost their humanity.

Ku He was slightly better, but Si Gu Jian really made Zhou Chen see the lack of humanity in a grandmaster.

He had fought with Ku He and Si Gu Jian, but in his opinion, Si Gu Jian was definitely more difficult to deal with than Ku He.

Although there were some good disciples among Si Gu Jian, in Zhou Chen's opinion, they were not as good as Si Gu Jian, far from it.

"Danzhou, I'm here again."

Zhou Chen walked into Danzhou City. This time, his mentality was different from the last time.

Originally, he planned to meet Wu Zhu when he passed by Danzhou this time, but after the battle with Si Gu Jian, he gave up this idea.

Even though Wuzhu has the strength of a grandmaster, he is a robot after all. He is different from humans like them. Fighting with a robot is boring.

Chapter 1427 Return to Kyoto, Wang Qinian, Chen Pingping

Last year Zhou Chen left Kyoto in the autumn. Now, it is autumn again, and he has returned to Qing Kingdom.

On the way back to Kyoto, Zhou Chen couldn't help but think of the old scholar he met in the roadside pavilion. He wondered whether he had passed the imperial examination this year and whether he would become the rare lucky one, but the hope was probably slim.

When he left Kyoto, he was at the upper ninth rank, and when he came back, he had become a grandmaster.

Although the Grandmaster cannot be said to be invincible in the world, with such power, he does feel a lot more relaxed. Even when facing a group of old silver coins from the Qing Kingdom, he does not need to worry about anything and can face it calmly.

Although Emperor Qing is also a grandmaster and an emperor at the same time, it can be seen from his style of doing things that after learning that Zhou Chen is a grandmaster, even if he wants to get rid of Zhou Chen, he will definitely not take action before he is absolutely sure.

Emperor Qing is indeed capable and powerful, but he is too cold-blooded and ruthless. People say that Si Gu Jian is heartless and unrighteous, but if you really compare them, Emperor Qing is even worse than Si Gu Jian. He can obviously act in an upright manner, but he prefers to hide and use conspiracies and tricks to make all kinds of calculations.

If you say that he did it to get rid of the grand master, then there is no problem with that, but the key point is that Emperor Qing has all kinds of schemes against everyone.

No matter whether you are a subject or his own son, if you do not do what he wants, he will use underhanded means to kill you without any mercy.

Just look at the final outcome of those who followed Emperor Qing and you will know. Everyone says that Princess Li Yunrui is a crazy woman, but in fact, what Emperor Qing did is even worse than her.

Zhou Chen, you know the nature of Emperor Qing, so you don’t have a sense of belonging to Qing Kingdom. Qing Kingdom is strong, but the atmosphere in the court of Qing Kingdom is really much worse than that of Northern Qi.

No one wants to feel that there is always someone staring at you and plotting against you from behind.

In Qing Kingdom, outside the capital of Kyoto, a black horse leisurely came to the city gate.

When I got closer, I found that there was no saddle on the black horse, and the white figure on the horse was not sitting, but lying, looking as if asleep.

The people on the roadside were looking at the figure on the black horse in surprise. Without any auxiliary tools, how could this person lie steadily on the horse's back and sleep?

Moreover, this black horse is also very magical. It knows how to move without anyone's command and can also avoid pedestrians flexibly.

The black horse came to the city gate and stopped steadily under the gaze of the soldiers guarding the city. It even snorted, as if reminding its owner.

The person on the horse slowly opened his eyes, stretched his body, and sat up. It was Zhou Chen who had returned from Northern Qi.

Zhou Chen looked up at the city gate in front of him and rubbed his eyes.

"We've arrived in Kyoto."

He patted the horse's neck gently and praised: "Good job, Tornado. I'll give you a snack when I get back and find you a young mare as a reward."

It took a total of half a month to get from Dongyi City to Kyoto. It was already mid-October and late autumn.

After a year, he finally returned to Kyoto.

Just as he was sighing with emotion, suddenly a figure swooped in front of him.

"My dear, I see you are exhausted and have traveled all the way here. You must have come from a very far place to Beijing. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Chen looked at the smiling, slightly plump middle-aged man in front of him, and the Inspection Bureau uniform he was wearing, and he immediately smiled.

Coincidentally not.

"How do you know I traveled all this way?"

"You are so tired that you are sleeping on the horse. You must be exhausted from traveling so long."

Watching him lie with his eyes open, Zhou Chen was 100% sure that it was none other than Wang Qinian.

"You sound quite interesting. Tell me, what do you want to do by stopping me?"

Wang Qinian smiled even brighter, and said amiably, "Young Master, you have an extraordinary demeanor. I admire you at first sight. You have come from afar, and this should be your first time in Beijing. I have something here that I would like to invite you to take a look at."

"Oh, really? Bring it here and let me see."

"Okay, sir, please wait."

Wang Qinian happily went over and took something.

"Sir, look, this map shows the beautiful scenery of Kyoto in detail. It may be useful for your first visit to Beijing."

Zhou Chen took it, took a look at it, and didn't open it. He looked down at Wang Qinian who was smiling.

"Did you draw this yourself?"

"Yes, sir. This picture is made of the finest paper, with fine ink and brush. I worked hard, surveyed repeatedly, and drew it myself. And there is only this last picture left. It only costs two taels of silver, sir. Two taels of silver is not even enough for Wang to run errands and drink tea. You are taking advantage of me."

Zhou Chen smiled, of course he knew what the map was about. He was not interested in the map, but he was somewhat interested in Wang Qinian.

Originally, he planned to go back to his mansion directly after returning to Beijing, but the appearance of Wang Qinian made him change his mind temporarily.

"Two taels of silver, I don't need it, but I want to go somewhere, you lead the way for me."

Wang Qinian smiled at first, then looked embarrassed.

"Sir, I am only selling maps, but I don't have the business of leading the way."

"no?"

"It's not impossible, it's just."

Wang Qinian was in a dilemma and gritted his teeth: "You have to pay more."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he was delighted and asked Mr. Qian to add more money.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Then, including the map and the guide, three, no, five taels of silver. Sir, I'm not trying to cheat you. I'm very familiar with Kyoto. No matter where you want to go, I promise to take you there as soon as possible. I will never let you walk an extra step. Otherwise, it will be my fault, and I won't be able to ask you for money."

Wang Qinian quoted the price carefully, and when he saw that Zhou Chen didn't react, he hurriedly explained it himself and made a promise with a pat on his chest.

Just as he was speaking eloquently, suddenly a silver ingot was thrown at him. He was agile and caught it as fast as lightning.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

As soon as he got the silver, he knew it was no less than five taels. The smile on his face was even happier than when he saw his biological father.
