The world of film and television begins from childhood

Without waiting for Fan Xian to speak, Li Hongcheng hurriedly replied: "Since it is the Duke of Zhenguo who has invited me, I will go and meet him." After saying this, he nudged Fan Xian.

Fan Xian also reacted and he was still very curious about the legendary grandmaster.

"That's okay with me too."

"You two, please come with me."

Led by the maid, they quickly boarded Si Lili's flower boat and then met Zhou Chen on the boat.

Li Hongcheng saw Zhou Chen sitting there and hurriedly saluted: "Li Hongcheng from Prince Jing's Mansion, I greet the Duke of Zhenguo."

After seeing Zhou Chen, Fan Xian was stunned for a moment. He felt that Zhou Chen's face was very familiar. His memory was pretty good. Fan Ruoruo had told him before that the Duke of Zhenguo had seen him at the gate of Fan Mansion in Danzhou, so his memories of the past quickly emerged.

"It's you?"

He remembered that day when he was sitting at the door and a young man passed by his house. At that time, he thought he was looking for him and wanted to say hello, but the other party just walked around him.

Zhou Chen looked at Fan Xian and said with a smile, "You have a good memory. You're welcome. Please sit down."

Li Hongcheng and Fan Xian sat down with the help of the maids. Li Hongcheng asked Fan Xian in a low voice: "Do you know the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"We met once, but I didn't know it at the time."

Fan Xian looked at Zhou Chen who was sitting there casually. He could not see any fluctuation of true energy. He felt like an ordinary person. Is he really a grandmaster?

"I wonder what the Duke of Zhenguo wants us to do?"

"It's nothing special. It's just that Miss Si Lili listened to Master Fan's poems and wanted to meet Master Fan. I want to fulfill the beauty's wish. I happened to hear that you were in Zuixianju, so I invited you to come over for a chat."

As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, Si Lili stood up and saluted.

"I am sorry for being rude. Please forgive me, Your Highness and Master Fan."

Li Hongcheng immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't be abrupt, don't be abrupt. I have long wanted to meet the Duke of Zhenguo, but I have never had the chance. Today, thanks to Miss Lili, I am able to meet the Duke of Zhenguo. I should thank Miss Lili."

He doesn't care about the girls in the brothel, but it's different for Si Lili. Based on her relationship with Zhou Chen, she has to at least put in some effort to show off.

Fan Xian also cupped his hands to show that he didn't care. Si Lili was extremely beautiful, and he was also amazed at her, but his attention was more on Zhou Chen.

Chapter 1443 Zhou Chen’s Special Qi: Dead Trees Revived

Zhou Chen has never interacted with Fan Xian, so he can't say whether he likes or dislikes him, but Fan Xian in the TV series is a protagonist with relatively positive values.

Seeing that Fan Xian had been staring at him, he was full of curiosity, unlike the others who were afraid and did not dare to look him in the face.

"Master Fan has been staring at me. Is there anything you want to ask?"

Fan Xian replied calmly, "I just heard about the Duke of Zhenguo yesterday, and I can see him today. I can't help but sigh at the wonder of fate. It's also the first time I see a living Grandmaster, and I'm very curious."

Li Hongcheng, who was standing aside, narrowed his eyes when he heard Fan Xian talking like this. He found that Fan Xian was really different from other people. This Duke Zhenguo was a ruthless man and didn't even know how to watch his words.

Zhou Chen chuckled and didn't care. He had lived in modern society for a longer time, so Fan Xian's tone seemed normal to him.

However, it can also be seen from this that although Fan Xian has "traveled" through this world for more than ten years, his mentality has never changed.

It was no big deal in Danzhou before, but this is Kyoto. If it keeps going on like this, sooner or later I will suffer.

"The Grandmaster is no different. He also has a mouth, a nose, and a pair of eyes. If there is any difference, it's probably that he's a little bit better at fighting."

The corner of Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and the ruined mansion emerged involuntarily in his mind. Destroying so many buildings with one palm, is this considered a slightly capable fighter?

Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng did not stay here for long. Si Lili toasted them with a glass of wine respectively, and then they toasted Zhou Chen with a glass of wine and left on their own initiative.

After leaving the flower boat, Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh, "This Zhenguogong seems to be quite easy to talk to. Why were you so nervous just now?"

Li Hongcheng said unhappily: "That's because you haven't seen this guy get mad. Back then..."

Just as I was about to speak, he shut up again. It would be bad if people talked about me behind my back and it got out.

Fan Xian didn't know what Li Hongcheng was thinking, he just felt that this great master was not difficult to get along with, at least much easier to get along with than the Second Prince he met today.

"Let's go, Brother Fan. Your Narcissus girl must be waiting anxiously."

Only then did Fan Xian remember that he still had important things to do.

Inside the painting boat, Si Lili said with a smile: "This Mr. Fan is really a bit different. He doesn't look like he came from a small place."

Kyoto is the capital of Qing Kingdom. Young masters from small places would usually be a little timid when they come to Kyoto. However, this is not the case with Fan Xian at all. Even when facing Zhou Chen, he was neither respectful nor afraid. He acted as if he was facing an ordinary person.

"Maybe, I haven't adapted yet."

Thinking about how Fan Xian had been here for a long time and had inevitably integrated into this world, resulting in many changes, Zhou Chen sighed slightly.

What people fear most is subtle influence, and he himself is the same.

When I first traveled to the world of ancient film and television, I was not used to all kinds of things. But slowly, as time went by, I got used to everything, even killing people became a habit.

Si Lili saw Zhou Chen sighing and looked puzzled. They were talking about Fan Xian, so why did Zhou Chen's mood change?

But Zhou Chen recovered quickly and turned to Si Lili and asked, "What else did you see from Fan Xian just now?"

"What else can you see?"

The manager thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "He gave me the feeling that he was visiting a brothel for the first time, and he wasn't as eager as the average playboy."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You have a good eye. This boy didn't come here to find a girl today. Wait, there will be something interesting to watch tomorrow."

Si Lili asked curiously, but he didn't explain. He knew that the plot was sometimes very exciting and gave people a feeling of being from a God's perspective.

Fan Xian was indeed not here as a client. He quickly knocked Miss Qin Shuixian unconscious, and then after Guo Baokun left, he quietly followed him.

He stopped Teng Zijing from killing Guo Baokun and beat Guo Baokun severely instead. After arranging everything, he quietly returned to Zuixianju, pretending to have slept for a night, and left Zuixianju in the morning in a pretentious manner.

Everything unfolded according to the normal development of the plot. Guo Baokun was beaten half-crippled by Fan Xian. He went to Kyoto Prefecture to report the case early the next morning, and then Kyoto Prefecture went to find Fan Xian.

After a battle of wits and courage, Fan Xian and the half-crippled Guo Baokun, who was wrapped like a mummy, both came to Kyoto Prefecture, and the two sides started a confrontation between defendant and plaintiff.

Fan Xian was a good speaker and He Zongwei was no match for him. Finally, the governor of Kyoto began to ask Fan Xian about his whereabouts last night. Fan Xian took the initiative to say that he went to drink wine, and then the issue of witnesses came up.

Fan Xian replied confidently, "Prince Jing Li Hongcheng, Zuixianju Si Lili and Qin Shuixian, and Zhenguogong Zhou Chen can all testify."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked, and the governor of Kyoto, Mei Zhili, was even more frightened with a pale face.

The two girls from Zuixianju were nothing, but Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng and Duke Zhenguo Zhou Chen were not ordinary people, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

He Zongwei was also shocked, but he is Guo Baokun's lawyer now, and everything must be considered for Guo Baokun, so he directly saluted Mei Zhili.

"Sir, please call the witnesses."

Mei Zhili asked helplessly: "Why did you drag Prince Jing and the Duke of Zhenguo into this? How should this be spread?"

He Zongwei said loudly: "Sir, this case is extremely brutal, and Minister Guo also takes it very seriously. I implore you to handle the case carefully."

Mei Zhili was quite speechless. With the addition of Minister Guo, he couldn't afford to offend any of these people. What else could he do now that he was framed? He could only call for witnesses.

Prince Li Hongcheng of Prince Jing, Si Lili and Qin Shuixian of Zuixianju were called over quickly, but the people who went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion had not returned yet.

Mei Zhili had no choice but to ask these three people first, but their answers were the same, proving that Fan Xian was indeed in Zuixianju that night. Qin Shuixian, who was accompanying him, also confirmed that Fan Xian did not leave last night and was with her the whole time, spending the night together.

With all three witnesses saying this, Mei Zhili was about to declare Fan Xian not guilty, but at this moment the Crown Prince arrived.

The prince was also very perceptive. He wanted Fan Xian to confess his guilt and would not attack Li Hongcheng. Si Lili had a relationship with Zhou Chen and was not familiar with Fan Xian, so he targeted Qin Shuixian, who had accompanied Fan Xian for the night, and prepared to torture her, which made Fan Xian feel very sympathetic towards her.

Soon after, the second prince also came, and what followed was a confrontation between the crown prince and the second prince. Just as they were fighting each other, the messenger who went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came back, breaking the stalemate.

"Sir, I failed to invite the Duke of Zhenguo. Please punish me."

Mei Zhili finally got a chance to catch his breath, and hurriedly stood up and asked, "What did the Duke of Zhenguo say?"

"Duke Zhenguo said, go ahead."

"Why are you hesitating? Just say what you want to say."

The messenger gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and shouted, "The Duke of Zhenguo replied, 'Get lost!' And, we should ask Miss Si Lili to go back just as we invited her here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the court in Kyoto Prefecture fell silent. Mei Zhili slumped down in his chair. The Crown Prince had a blank expression on his face, while the Second Prince had a playful look on his face.

Fan Xian was stunned. Is the Duke of Zhenguo so arrogant? He didn't even come, but he threatened me. Does he have no law in his eyes?

Si Lili, who was standing aside, had a strange look in her eyes. Seeing this situation, she truly realized how powerful Zhou Chen was. Is this the sense of security of being protected by a man?

Mei Zhili carefully asked the Crown Prince and the Second Prince: "Your Highness, Second Prince, since this matter has nothing to do with Miss Si Lili, then there is no need to let Miss Si Lili stay any longer, right?"

The second prince said, "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Si Lili. You called someone here rudely, why don't you send him back politely?"

The prince didn't say anything, but just waved at Mei Zhili. He wanted to deal with Fan Xian and didn't want to confront Zhou Chen. Since Zhou Chen had spoken, he had to give him face.

So, in front of Fan Xian's astonished gaze, Si Lili was taken away by the people from Kyoto Prefecture.

He curled his lips and sighed, "Look, this is privilege. It turns out that privilege exists in every era."

The trial continued, but in the end Emperor Qing issued an edict, allowing the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to leave, and the matter came to an end.

Fan Xian was acquitted on the spot and left the post of Kyoto governor, while Teng Zijing also turned a disaster into a blessing and recovered from his fake death.

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion!

Zhou Chen didn't even meet the person sent by Kyoto Prefecture. He sent him away directly and then accompanied Sang Wen in the yard to read books and drink tea.

"Young Master, why do you want to help Fan Xian?" Sang Wen asked curiously.

"Why do you ask?"

"Although I don't know what happened, I think that Minister Guo's son Guo Baokun was probably beaten by Fan Xian. Young Master must know this, but he didn't expose it. Isn't this helping Fan Xian?"

Zhou Chen gently pinched Sang Wen's nose and said with a smile, "How smart! Guo Baokun was indeed beaten by Fan Xian, but if Fan Xian hadn't beaten him, he might have lost his life. Fan Xian's action saved Guo Baokun's life."

He knew the details. At that time, Teng Zijing was preparing to kill Guo Baokun. If Fan Xian had not stopped him, Guo Baokun's servants would definitely not be able to defeat Teng Zijing. Teng Zijing, who was in despair, would definitely kill Guo Baokun.

So to some extent, Fan Xian's action could be considered as saving Guo Baokun's life.

Sang Wen didn’t quite understand, but she didn’t ask too much. She knew that Zhou Chen must have his own reasons for doing this.

"Sir, I will play a song for you."

"Okay."

Sang Wen happily held the pipa, gently plucked the strings, and began to play for Zhou Chen.

Near noon, a servant suddenly came to report that someone had come to visit, claiming to be Fan Xian, and asked to see Zhou Chen to express his gratitude.

"Fan Xian is here?"

Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he heard this. He nodded slightly and asked someone to bring Fan Xian over.

Sang Wen stood up and said, "Sir, I'll go to the kitchen first."

"it is good."

Sun Yi quickly led two people to Zhou Chen's yard. They were Fan Xian, whom he had met yesterday, and Teng Zijing who was following him.

When the two saw Zhou Chen, they both bowed.

"Meet the Duke of Zhenguo."

"No need to be polite, come and sit down."

Zhou Chen pointed to the opposite side. Fan Xian smiled slightly and sat down opposite Zhou Chen without any hesitation.

"Thank you, Duke Zhenguo, for your help today."

"I didn't help you."

"The fact that the Duke of Zhenguo didn't expose me is equivalent to helping me. With your ability, you must know that I left Zuixianju last night."

Fan Xian is not a fool. If others can see such an obvious thing, how could Grand Master Zhou Chen not see it? By not exposing him, Zhou Chen and Si Lili were helping him.

Zhou Chen said: "You are here to thank me just for this? And if you are here to thank me, why are you empty-handed?"

"what?"

Fan Xian was stunned, then he reacted and looked embarrassed. Yes, how could he thank someone with empty hands? It was just that he had never thought of this, or he had no idea about it at all.

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhou Chen laughed and said, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously. You didn't come here just to thank me, right?"

Fan Xian laughed dryly, feeling rather embarrassed.

"Actually, I just came here to thank you. Besides that, because I am a martial artist myself, I am particularly curious about the Grandmasters at the pinnacle of martial arts. I want to see what the difference is between a Grandmaster and us martial artists. Please forgive me if I am offended."

Teng Zijing, who was standing outside the pavilion, wanted to go over and cover Fan Xian's mouth. He was really speechless. How could you talk like that? The person you are facing is a grandmaster, not a monkey showman. You can't see him just because you want to.

He really didn't know what was going on in Fan Xian's mind. Sometimes he was very reliable, but sometimes he was quite unreliable.

Zhou Chen just smiled indifferently. As he said before, Fan Xian has not fully integrated into this era, whether in his speech or behavior.

"Now that you've seen it, what do you think is the difference between us?"
