"Haha."

Ye Liuyun laughed heartily. Although he was controlled by Emperor Qing because of the Ye family, it did not mean that he was loyal to Emperor Qing. Instead, he was more dissatisfied.

Now that he knew that Emperor Qing was frustrated because of Zhou Chen, he felt very happy and felt that if he was as carefree and unrestrained as Zhou Chen, he would never be controlled by Emperor Qing.

"In fact, I am very happy to know that you have become a Grand Master. With you now in my life, I feel much more relaxed than before."

If it were just him, he would be easily controlled by Emperor Qing, but now with the addition of Zhou Chen, the three great masters check and balance each other, making his importance more apparent. At least Emperor Qing doesn't dare to treat him the same way as before.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Mr. Ye, we had a very pleasant conversation today. Maybe we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future."

Ye Liuyun's eyes sparkled, and he smiled and replied, "I'm really looking forward to that day."

"Today's battle will result in both you and me being defeated."

"Yes, both sides will suffer."

Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun smiled at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

Zhou Chen didn't care about Emperor Qing, but Ye Liuyun still had to be cautious, so Zhou Chen just cooperated with him in acting.

From Ye Liuyun's attitude, it can be seen that he has no loyalty to Emperor Qing.

Of course, Zhou Chen would not really trust him. After all, in the original plot, Ye Liuyun could make many compromises for the Ye family. Who knows what he really thinks.

His attitude towards Ye Liuyun is that he does not cooperate or coordinate with her, but he does not reject her either. He is neither an enemy nor a friend.

After the meal, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

This time when Zhou Chen went to Northern Qi, he did not take the land route again, but chose to start from the sea and take a boat to Northern Qi.

It is relatively easy to get to the ports in the south of the Yangtze River by boat. The only slightly troublesome thing is that he has to bring his horse on board. Of course, it is troublesome, but in fact it only costs a little more silver.

Qing Kingdom, Kyoto!

Today is the day for the Qing Kingdom's envoy to Northern Qi. Everyone is ready and is just waiting for the leader of the envoy, Fan Xian, to give the order to set off.

Fan Xian was saying goodbye to his family and friends at this time. He had a special mission on this trip to Northern Qi, so the risk was relatively high, and his relatives and friends were worried.

After saying goodbye to everyone else, Teng Zijing was the only one left.

"I am your bodyguard. I have received your money and I am responsible for protecting your safety. Now you don't want me to go to Northern Qi with you and insist on keeping me in Kyoto. What's going on?"

Originally, Teng Zijing had made preparations to go to Northern Qi with Fan Xian, but who would have thought that Fan Xian told him yesterday that he would stay in Kyoto and would not be taken with him. This immediately made him anxious, and he made a scene yesterday. He came again when he said farewell this morning.

Fan Xian said, "Teng Zijing, you are my bodyguard, but this time is different. It will take a long time to go to Northern Qi and back. My family is worried about me, and I am also worried about my family. So I asked you to stay, in fact, because I want you to protect my family. It is better to be safe than sorry."

Teng Zijing said dissatisfiedly: "Your father is a high-ranking official, and there are people to protect the family. It doesn't matter if I am one more or one less. I will go to Northern Qi with you and help you. Don't say anything, I have already packed my luggage, and I have to go even if you don't let me go."

"I brought Wang Qinian with me, so you don't have to worry."

"It's because you brought Wang Qinian with you that I'm even more worried."

Wang Qinian was dissatisfied after hearing this, and pointed at Teng Zijing and shouted, "What do you mean I'm more worried if you take me with you? Teng Zijing, I find that you are really heartless. Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

"Can you please stop talking about my savior? I don't want to talk to you."

Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian had many arguments when they were together. Of course, they were just arguing verbally, and they actually had a very good relationship.

Finally, under Teng Zijing's persistent pleading, Fan Xian could not drive him away and could only agree to let him join the delegation. Teng Zijing immediately joined the delegation happily and began to compete with Wang Qinian for the right to drive the carriage.

Just as Fan Xian was about to set off, a convoy suddenly approached, and then a man walked towards the delegation.

"Fan Xian, is Lord Fan here?"

Fan Xian looked at the newcomer in confusion, then recognized him and asked, "Butler Tong, what are you doing?"

Tong Quan bowed to Fan Xian and replied, "Master Fan, I am here to pay my respects to you on the orders of the young master."

"Does the Duke of Zhenguo have anything to tell me?"

Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed. He had already received the news that the Duke of Zhenguo had left Kyoto many days ago.

Tong Quan said, "My young master is going to Northern Qi, but he has other things to do along the way, so some things are inconvenient to carry. When he learned that Lord Fan was about to lead an envoy to Northern Qi, he asked me to entrust the baggage to be taken to Northern Qi to Lord Fan. Lord Fan, please take it to Northern Qi. When my young master arrives in Northern Qi, he will go to see Lord Fan."

When Fan Xian heard this, he realized that they wanted him to bring some goods, so he nodded in agreement immediately.

"No problem. We are going to Northern Qi anyway, so it doesn't matter how much we bring."

"Thank you, Master Fan."

Tong Quan showed gratitude and immediately asked someone to deliver the things. There were quite a lot of things, more than a dozen boxes in total.

"Master Fan, this is the betrothal gift that my young master has prepared to propose to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Northern Qi, so I would like to trouble you to pay more attention to it."

Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed slightly, realizing that this might not be a good job. If something happened to the betrothal gifts, he would not be able to explain it to the Duke of Zhenguo.

But even though he realized it was not a good job, he still agreed and there was no room for refusal.

"Please rest assured, Steward Tong. As long as I am still alive, I will definitely bring the Duke of Zhenguo's things to Northern Qi."

Tong Quan felt grateful again.

After everything was ready, Fan Xian immediately commanded the delegation to set off.

Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing were sitting together in the carriage. They had both helped to move things.

Wang Qinian said with emotion: "Our Duke Zhenguo is really amazing. Those dozen boxes are probably full of goodies. It's really generous to send so many things for a marriage proposal."

Teng Zijing said unhappily, "A big shot like the Duke of Zhenguo is proposing marriage, do you think it's the same as us ordinary people? Moreover, he is proposing marriage to the Princess of Northern Qi, so of course he has to be well prepared. This is a matter of face."

Wang Qinian sighed, "That's true, but it's a pity. If the Duke of Zhenguo could come with us, then the journey would definitely be much easier. At that time, no matter what accidents happened, no one else would be able to help."

"Do you need to tell me? If a great master is here, who dares to cause trouble for the delegation? Are you looking for death?"

Ever since Zhou Chen saved his life, Teng Zijing not only felt grateful to Zhou Chen, but also had a kind of admiration for him, admiration for the strong.

Zhou Chen took a boat from the port and set out on the sea, his destination being Dongyi City. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Normally, in such a feudal society, traveling by water is faster than traveling by land, so Zhou Chen set out from the south of the Yangtze River and crossed the Dadong Mountain in more than ten days and arrived near the port of Dongyi City.

I remembered that I had told Yun Zhilan before that if I passed by Dongyi City again, I would visit him again.

So after Zhou Chen got off the boat in Dongyi City, he rode his own Whirlwind to visit the Dongyi City Lord’s Mansion.

The difference from the last time was that this time he stayed in the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion for two days before fighting with Si Gu Jian again.

This time the fight did not last three days and three nights, but ended in only half a day, because they were familiar with each other's moves, and in a life-and-death situation, it was difficult to determine the winner based on moves and true energy alone.

Although Si Gu Jian is a martial arts fanatic and a madman, he is not really stupid. He and Zhou Chen are just sparring with each other and naturally will not fight with their lives.

After staying in Dongyi City for four days, Zhou Chen set out again, this time by land, riding his black horse Tornado, leisurely towards Shangjing City of Northern Qi.

This was his second time going to the capital, and this time he took a different route.

Just as Zhou Chen was heading to the capital of Northern Qi alone, the delegation led by Fan Xian was approaching the border between Qing and Qi.

This time when escorting the delegation to Northern Qi, Fan Xian's secret mission was to kill Sean, so after approaching the border, he immediately used a trick to let Sean go, and then he set an ambush in advance, ready to get rid of Sean who he deliberately let go.

But just when he caught Sean and was about to get rid of him, something unexpected happened. A girl who looked like a village girl appeared like an elf in the forest.

This girl's martial arts skills were amazing. After some probing, Fan Xian guessed the girl's identity. She was Ku He's last disciple, the Saint of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo.

Fan Xian was worried that he had no experience fighting against masters, so when he saw the ninth-rank Haitang Duoduo, he immediately became interested and took the initiative to provoke her, forcing Haitang Duoduo to fight him.

But after just a few moves, he was at an absolute disadvantage, and he quickly raised his hand to call for a stop.

Fan Xian looked at Haitang Duoduo with a puzzled look: "Why do I feel that your true energy is somewhat similar to the Ruyi Power of our Qing Kingdom's Grandmaster, the Duke of Zhenguo?"

Zhou Chen had attacked in front of him several times, so he was quite impressed by Zhou Chen's true qi. Haitang Duoduo was naturally very different from Zhou Chen, but after the fight just now, he discovered that Haitang Duoduo's true qi was slightly similar to Zhou Chen's.

Haitang Duoduo put away her double axes and said in surprise: "You actually know Zhou Chen's Ruyi Power? What's your relationship with him?"

Fan Xian's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have received guidance from the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo is my creditor. I still owe him 70,000 taels of silver."

When these words were spoken, even the injured Sean was shocked.

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "You are so shameless to say that you owe money."

Fan Xian didn't take it seriously and said with a smile, "Of course. How many people in the world can owe a Grandmaster money? Moreover, there is no one else who owes 70,000 taels like me."

Haitang Duoduo said: "Ruyi Jin was taught to me by Zhou Chen."

"I see. In that case, we are very close. You are here to kill Sean, right? We can cooperate."

Fan Xian took the initiative to get close to her. He felt that the fact that Zhou Chen could teach his martial arts to Haitang Duoduo proved that their relationship was not simple. Naturally, he did not want to be Haitang Duoduo's enemy.

Haitang Duoduo was not interested: "Forget about cooperation. You want to kill Sean? You can do it now. As long as you kill him, I will leave immediately."

But before they could finish the discussion, a sharp arrow suddenly came. It was Yan Xiaoyi who came to kill Fan Xian on the orders of the eldest princess.

Yan Xiaoyi has not been dealt with here yet, and a strong enemy has arrived over there. It is Sean's adopted son, Uesugi Tiger, who leads a team to rescue Sean.

Various forces gathered at the border between Qing and Qi and launched a thrilling competition.

At the same time, after many days, Zhou Chen was almost reaching Shangjing City. However, he did not go directly to Shangjing City, but went to another place, Ku He's secluded place.

He knew that Fan Xian had already gone on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. Calculating the time, Wu Zhu should be ready to take action by now to help Fan Xian block Grandmaster Ku He.

Zhou Chen has seen the four great masters in the world, but has not seen Wu Zhu. The main reason is that Wu Zhu is a robot, and he really doesn't have much interest in fighting with Wu Zhu.

However, he himself was not interested in fighting with the robot, but he was still very interested in watching others fight with Wuzhu.

So he prepared to go to Ku He's retreat to watch the battle between Wu Zhu and Ku He.

Although he had never been to Ku He's retreat, it was not difficult to find a place with a waterfall near Shangjing City.

Chapter 1461 Wuzhu vs. Kuhe, Breaking into the Northern Qi Palace Again

Ku He's retreat is a scenic place with mountains and water. The waterfall that drops three thousand feet adds a unique sound and atmosphere to this place.

If there is anything wrong with it, it is that it lacks popularity. However, this is the secluded place that Ku He was looking for, so its lack of popularity is most suitable.

When Zhou Chen arrived here, the fight was intense. Wu Zhu said that he wanted to hold back the grandmaster for Fan Xian, but when it came to fighting Ku He, he showed no mercy.

This was also the first time Zhou Chen saw Wu Zhu's skills. There was indeed no fluctuation of true energy. He just relied on his body speed and sharp moves to fight Ku He on equal terms, and the two were hard to tell who was better.

Although Ku He is the oldest among the grand masters, he is not the strongest nor the best fighter. The Tianyi Dao mental method he practices pursues the principle of following the laws of nature and using stillness as movement.

It is truly beyond imagination that Wu Zhu, a man without any true Qi, can fight against a grandmaster with a mighty amount of true Qi.

But when you think about the fact that Wuzhu is a biochemical robot that is a product of high technology, it is not surprising. When technology develops to a certain level, it may not be inferior to extraordinary powers.

What's more, Wuzhu is the most special one among the robots in the temple, that is, his laser eyes have not been used yet. Otherwise, Ku He might not be able to resist him.

The two people who were fighting fiercely stopped fighting at the same time and turned to look at Zhou Chen because of the arrival of the uninvited guest.

"Zhou Chen, why are you here?"

Ku He looked older than Ye Liuyun, and his monk's robes made him look like an ascetic monk.

Zhou Chen sat on a rock nearby and asked in a relaxed manner: "Why, you don't welcome me? I'm different from an old bachelor like you. I came to Northern Qi to ask for marriage."

Ku He was a little surprised: "Is it that kid Pian Pian?"

"Otherwise, could he be your little emperor?"

Zhou Chen just said it casually, but who knew Ku He actually said: "That's not a bad idea."

Zhou Chen was suddenly shocked and looked at Ku He with surprise. This old guy, who seemed to be a reserved and reserved type, could even respond to such words.

Ku He added: "If you marry Pian Pian's child, it will be a good thing for Northern Qi. At least the royal bloodline can continue. The royal bloodline, plus the blood of the Grand Master, may give birth to a child with better talents in the future."

Although he is an extraordinary grandmaster, he naturally has feelings for the Northern Qi royal family. If he was really an extremely selfish person, in the original plot, he would not have gone to the Battle of Dadong Mountain.

Zhan Pianpian is the eldest princess of the Northern Qi royal family, and Zhou Chen is the youngest grandmaster in the world. He very much approves of their union.

"Who can say for sure about children?"

Zhou Chen doesn’t care too much about the talents of his future children. As long as they are his own children, no matter what their talents are, he may not be able to treat them equally, but he will definitely treat them equally.

Ku He did not continue on this issue, but pointed to Wu Zhu and introduced him to Zhou Chen.

"This is Wu Zhu, have you met him?"

Zhou Chen said: "I haven't seen him, but I have heard of him a long time ago. He was the servant of Ye Qingmei, the temple messenger, several decades ago."

Ku He's face changed instantly. There might be people in the world who knew that Ye Qingmei was related to the temple, but only he and Sean witnessed the scene of Ye Qingmei leaving the temple.

Judging from Zhou Chen’s age, he should not know about Ye Qingmei and Wu Zhu. Could it be Sean?

A cold light flashed in Ku He's eyes. For the sake of the temple, Sean must die.

Wu Zhu turned his head and faced Zhou Chen, saying in a tone without any emotion: "Zhou Chen, I have heard of you, the fifth grandmaster in the world. You have helped Fan Xian. Thank you."

As a robot, Wuzhu doesn't care about anyone else except Fan Xian, who he cares about the most.
