What made him most angry about Zhou Chen was that Zhou Chen had no respect for the imperial power or him, but he had no way to deal with Zhou Chen.

But no matter how angry he was, Zhou Chen had already left. For a moment, he suddenly had the idea of ​​destroying the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion while Zhou Chen was away.

But he extinguished it the next moment. He was angry, but he had not lost his mind. Now he and Zhou Chen had not yet fallen out, but if he did anything to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, then they would really fall out.

Zhou Chen was able to sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, and he was really afraid that Zhou Chen would do something wrong, and the consequences would be something he could not bear.

He had to endure it now.

"The Grand Princess of Northern Qi?"

Chapter 1459 Zhou Chen VS Ye Liuyun

In a pavilion twenty miles outside Kyoto, Zhou Chen sat leisurely against a pillar, teasing the bird on his right palm, with a happy and amused smile on his face.

Although he was knowledgeable, he had never seen this little bird before. It looked like a sparrow, but different. It was colorful, like a new species.

To be precise, there are many animals and plants in this world that he has never seen.

He speculated that it might be the impact of nuclear radiation after the nuclear war that caused the world to change drastically, and even animals, plants, and birds underwent mutations.

He had just picked up this little bird. It must have been born not long ago and couldn't fly yet.

Suddenly, a team slowly drove towards this side. Zhou Chen held up the bird in his hand, and saw the bird that could not fly slowly floating into the air, floating higher and higher, and finally fell into a bird's nest on a big tree not far away.

After doing all this, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and turned to look at the team.

The team stopped when they arrived at the pavilion, and a charming, proud and noble woman stepped out of the carriage. She was the eldest princess Li Yunrui who was driven out of Kyoto.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is indeed trustworthy. I thought you would not take me, a poor man who was driven out of Kyoto, seriously."

Li Yunrui walked to Zhou Chen, sat down slowly, smiled sweetly, and looked at Zhou Chen in a seductive manner.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Whether you are the powerful princess of Kyoto or a downtrodden person who was driven out of Kyoto, it makes no difference to me. But you asked me to meet you, so you must be unwilling to leave Kyoto in disgrace."

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, I am unwilling to accept this. I don't care about Fan Xian, but I really can't understand why Chen Pingping wants to help Fan Xian so much. And why does His Majesty also favor Fan Xian?"

Li Yunrui was also very clear that the reason why she was driven out of Kyoto was not because of what Fan Xian did, but because she was plotted against by Chen Pingping, said the wrong thing, and touched the reverse scale of Emperor Qing, which led to her current fate.

She was very unwilling to accept this. So many years had passed and she had been planning for so long, but in the end, everything was shattered by Chen Pingping. This feeling of failure made her extremely angry.

"Why is he partial to Fan Xian? No, to be precise, your Majesty is not partial to Fan Xian, but he cares too much about his own power. He regards the Inspection Institute as his own private knife, and no one is allowed to touch it. You just violated a taboo. In fact, even if you can bring down Chen Pingping, don't even think about controlling the Inspection Institute."

Li Yunrui's eyes were cold. She certainly understood what Zhou Chen meant, but she was still unwilling to accept it.

"I would like you to help me kill Chen Pingping. I am willing to bear any price."

"Kill Chen Pingping?"

Zhou Chen looked surprised. This woman was indeed crazy. Since she couldn't defeat Chen Pingping, she thought of the simplest and most effective way to kill Chen Pingping.

But she obviously also understood that no one could kill Chen Pingping unless a grandmaster took action.

"Yes, I want to kill Chen Pingping."

Li Yunrui leaned forward, her beautiful eyes staring at Zhou Chen: "No matter what the price is, you tell me, as long as I have it, I can give it to you, including myself."

Zhou Chen also slowly moved forward and stared at Li Yunrui's beautiful face.

Although Li Yunrui was crazy, she was indeed extremely beautiful. She was not undeservedly called the most beautiful woman in Qing Kingdom. However, this woman had a beautiful appearance, but was crazy and dark on the inside.

"You are indeed extremely beautiful. All men who see you will have the desire to conquer you. But unfortunately, I have met women who are more beautiful than you, so your tricks will not work on me."

"Then what do you want?"

Zhou Chen leaned against the pillar again and said bluntly: "I have a pretty good relationship with Chen Pingping, and he still owes me a favor, so I won't help you kill Chen Pingping. Not to mention, I won't kill Fan Xian either. If there is no Fan Xian in this world, wouldn't it be too boring?"

Li Yunrui frowned and asked in a puzzled tone: "Everyone has desires. I think I have a good eye for people, but I still don't understand what your desires are. What do you want? You are really strange. You are at the age of making achievements, but you seem to care nothing and have no pursuit. If a person has no pursuit in his life, what is the meaning of living?"

Zhou Chen said: "You are mistaken. Who said I have no pursuit? If you ask who is the greediest person in the world, I can tell you that this person must be me. You are greedy for power, but I am greedy for too many things, such as beauty, wine, power, money, strength, freedom... What I pursue is to do whatever I want, and what I pursue is an infinite future..."

As he spoke of this, his eyes became unusually bright, as if he had seen something beautiful, and his whole body was filled with energy.

Li Yunrui stared at Zhou Chen in front of her in a daze. From Zhou Chen's eyes full of ambition, she was sure that Zhou Chen was telling the truth.

If you think about it more carefully, Zhou Chen is now a grandmaster. With power, even Emperor Qing cannot restrict his freedom. He has no shortage of beauties, fine wine, power and money.

And looking at what he did, it seemed that he really did whatever he wanted. He even went to the palace whenever he wanted and didn't even care about the emperor. He really did whatever he wanted.

It seems to be true?

Then why did she feel that Zhou Chen didn't care about anything and had no pursuit?

"So what is the most important thing to you?"

Zhou Chen answered without any hesitation: "Live, and keep living."

For him, with the system, as long as he can survive, he can have a lot, so staying alive is the most important thing.

This sentence made Li Yunrui silent, because she found that nothing seemed to be able to impress Zhou Chen. Those moves that had always been effective in the past no longer worked on Zhou Chen at all.

Looking at the silent Li Yunrui, Zhou Chen suddenly revealed a meaningful expression.

"In fact, I don't quite understand. You should have discovered that everything you've done will be in vain if you face Emperor Qing with just one word from him. But how did you do it? You used the Crown Prince and the Second Prince again, but their situations are actually the same as yours. Whether they are the Crown Prince or not, or even whether they live or die, all depends on a word from Emperor Qing."

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that if you want to get out of this situation, compromise and calculation are useless. Only by overturning the chessboard, reshaping the world, and becoming a chess player, you will have a chance to win. Otherwise, you will always be a chess piece on the chessboard, controlled by Emperor Qing."

There was a gleam in Li Yunrui's eyes and he suddenly burst into laughter.

"As expected of you, you have no respect for him at all and actually gave me such an idea. If I were to ask you, you must be the most courageous person in the world."

Although she thought Zhou Chen's words were crazy, it was undeniable that she was really moved.

"If you don't even dare to think about it, then what's the difference between you and trash?"

"Princess, where is the news I want?"

Li Yunrui handed a note to Zhou Chen. After Zhou Chen read it, he stood up.

"gone."

"The next time we meet, I promise, it will be in Kyoto."

Hearing Li Yunrui's words, Zhou Chen chuckled and did not reply. He rode his black horse Tornado and left quickly.

The information he wanted from Zhou Chen was none other than the information about Grand Master Ye Liuyun.

He has already fought two of the four great masters. Emperor Qing is in the palace and cannot escape, so this time when he goes to Northern Qi, he just goes to find Ye Liuyun and fights with him.

However, Ye Liuyun was in Jiangnan at this time, so he needed to take a detour to Jiangnan, and his trip to Northern Qi would definitely be delayed. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance.

Speaking of which, among the four great masters in Joy of Life, Ye Liuyun is the most aggrieved one.

Although he has become the most powerful grandmaster in the world, he is still used and manipulated by Emperor Qing, and is far less free than the other three grandmasters. Perhaps this is also the biggest reason why he said that he has humanity, while the other three grandmasters have lost their humanity.

The Ye family alone can contain the Grand Master, which is something that will never happen to the other three Grand Masters.

Jiangnan is the most prosperous region in Qing. Kyoto may be the political center of Qing, but other than Kyoto, other places are not as developed as Jiangnan.

The three most profitable towns in Qing's internal treasury are located in Jiangnan. The population, economy, and other aspects of Jiangnan are among the best in Qing.

Zhou Chen has been in this world for several years, and this is his first time setting foot in the Jiangnan area.

Compared to most places he has been to, Jiangnan is indeed a more prosperous region. However, this level of prosperity is nothing to Zhou Chen. Moreover, he came to Jiangnan not for sightseeing, but for Ye Liuyun.

With the information about Li Yunrui and Zhou Chen's deliberate search, it was not difficult to find Ye Liuyun.

Hangzhou!

Although this is the world after a nuclear war, with mountains and seas changing dramatically and the world turned upside down, there are still many things that have not changed.

For example, many place names have been inherited, such as Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhou Chen found Ye Liuyun in Hangzhou.

Ye Liuyun is the kind of person who lives a carefree life and travels around the world. Perhaps it is because of his character of not competing or fighting and going with the flow that Emperor Qing seizes his weakness and controls him.

The energy induction between the grand masters is very strong. Although Zhou Chen has not seen Ye Liuyun yet, he has already discovered Ye Liuyun's presence from a few miles away.

The five senses of a grandmaster are extremely strong, and Zhou Chen is even more outstanding in this aspect. If they were all ordinary people, he might not be able to tell them apart. But Ye Liuyun is not an ordinary person. He is a grandmaster. His true energy and aura are not concealed and are too obvious. So after approaching, he can quickly spot Ye Liuyun.

He also did not hide himself. When he discovered Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun also discovered him.

The two met on the lake. Zhou Chen was on a large sightseeing boat, while Ye Liuyun was driving a small boat alone.

The moment they met, Zhou Chen soared into the sky amid the exclamations of the tourists on the big ship, like a roc soaring into the sky, and headed straight for Ye Liuyun's boat.

Although it was the first time the two met, at this moment, they seemed to have a deep understanding. They didn't say a word and started to act as soon as they said they would.

Zhou Chen descended from the sky, looking down from above, and slapped down with one palm. Ye Liuyun stood on the small boat, raised his head facing the void, and slapped into the air.

"boom!"

The terrifying collision of true energy produced an astonishing roar. The small boat under Ye Liuyun's feet was fine, but multiple water columns suddenly emerged from the surrounding lake. The water columns soared several feet into the sky, covering the figures of Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun in the water columns.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

As the two men fought, the calm lake surface could no longer be calm. It became turbulent like a dragon turning over.

There were originally quite a few boats on the lake, but with such a huge change, all the boats rushed to leave. Especially those boats that were relatively close, they were pushed back by invisible forces and soon moved away from the battle range.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun had already exchanged dozens of moves on the small boat. Zhou Chen did not use a sword, but simply fought with Ye Liuyun in close combat.

Ye Liuyun is the second oldest among the five masters after Ku He. His actual age is not young, but he looks much younger than his actual age. His hair is still black, but his beard has a few silver spots. His appearance and clothes are also very ordinary. If you don’t know his identity, you might really take him for an ordinary old man.

The fight between the two great masters made this lake a forbidden area during this period, and no ships dared to go into the water.

This battle between the grandmasters quickly lasted for half an hour. During this period, the lake was never calm. Countless fish in the lake died in the battle between the two, and many fish corpses floated on the lake.

Fortunately, this happened on the water. If it happened on land, with the destructive power of the two of them, it is estimated that they would not be able to cause enough destruction within a radius of several miles.

Because it was just a sparring match, the fight lasted a long time. Many people had already gathered around the lake, including many warriors who wanted to watch this earth-shaking battle.

However, the aftermath of the Grandmaster’s battle was too terrifying, and no one dared to get too close, so they could only watch from afar and could not see the specific situation at all.

Grandmasters can not only win with a single move, but can also sustain for a very long time, because the amount of their true qi is extremely terrifying, which is completely different from the true qi of ordinary warriors.

In this violent collision, Ye Liuyun was the first one who could not bear it any longer and used his unique skill, Liuyun Sanshou.

A martial art that suits oneself best can improve a martialist's combat effectiveness tremendously. Ye Liuyun who performed Liuyun Sanshou and Ye Liuyun who did not use Liuyun Sanshou were like two different people.

Zhou Chen was naturally unwilling to be outdone. A meteor flew from the shore and fell into Zhou Chen's hand. It was his sword.

The sword technique he is best at is the Xiangyi Taijian. He has also created his own sword technique, but was ultimately unsatisfied with it. He still finds this Xiangyi Taijian the most convenient to use and the most exquisite moves.

Now that he has become a grandmaster, he has a deeper understanding of this sword technique. When this sword technique is performed by him, its power increases dramatically.

The lake surface was shaking more violently as Xiang Yi Tai Jian dueled with Liu Yun San Shou. The noise of the battle was even more shocking. The people watching the battle by the lake were all stunned. They couldn't believe that human power could be so horrific.

After both sides used their special skills, the noise became louder, but the battle became simpler. After only a few dozen moves, they stopped in tacit understanding.

"Mr. Ye's Liuyun Sanshou is indeed as famous as it is said to be."

On the third floor of a restaurant by the lake, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun were drinking at the same table, and Zhou Chen praised sincerely.

Ye Liuyun drank a glass of wine and laughed: "Compared with your swordsmanship, my Liuyun Sanshou is nothing. At such a young age, you have created your own martial arts and achieved the status of a grandmaster. I am ashamed of myself. You are the most talented person in the world in martial arts. You deserve it."

Chapter 1460: Diplomatic Mission to Northern Qi, Haitang Masters Ruyi Jin

Grandmasters are also human beings, especially Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun, the two grandmasters who achieved breakthroughs on their own. They are more humane than the other three grandmasters.

Zhou Chen has a clear understanding of himself. Grandmaster is the top of the world in this world, but compared with everything he has experienced, it is really nothing.

It even has the ability to travel through the world. The power of this system cannot be described in words. The world he will experience in the future will definitely be a world with higher martial arts than the one in Joy of Life.

Therefore, for him, breaking through to the Grandmaster level was just a breakthrough in a realm. He did not have any further thoughts, nor did he feel that he was superior to humans and had become a higher-level being.

Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun are both grandmasters, and when they sit together, they will naturally talk about martial arts. Both of them are masters of martial arts, and each has their own martial arts accumulation and path. Although they may not be able to borrow from each other, it is no problem to learn from each other's experience.

As he was talking, Ye Liuyun took the initiative to bring up something.

"Not long ago, the man in Kyoto sent me an order to return to Beijing. Although he didn't say what it was specifically about, I roughly guessed it. I think you should have noticed it too, right?"

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Of course, except for dealing with the Grand Master, he probably won't look for you, and the person he wants to kill the most in Kyoto is me."

Ye Liuyun also smiled.

"I'm really curious about what you did to make him want to recall me at all costs."

"Nothing, he just wanted to plot against me, and I don't like being plotted against, so I went to the palace for a walk and put some things on the old queen's bedside."
