The world of film and television begins from childhood

"There's nothing we can do. The dean is right. Whatever we do now will be wrong. It's best to do nothing."

Fan Xian looked towards the palace with complicated eyes and sighed, "Yes, the emperor's power is unpredictable. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger."

"My Lord, be careful with your words, be careful with your words."

…………

The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Qin family and other major forces in Kyoto were all shocked by Zhou Chen's death. They were also horrified by Emperor Qing's methods, which made them even more afraid and wary of him.

The rise of the Duke of Zhenguo was too fast and too fierce, but his deterrent power was very great. However, no one expected that the Duke of Zhenguo, who was so powerful in Kyoto, would decline so quickly, so quickly that it was hard to keep up. One moment people were celebrating his wedding, and the next moment he was gone.

Even those who were used to seeing all kinds of absurdities in officialdom felt sad about the demise of the Duke of Zhenguo.

We are all smart people. The so-called treason to the emperor is nothing but a false and fabricated crime. Emperor Qing just wants Zhou Chen to die.

Even the invincible grandmaster was killed, so naturally everyone was even more afraid of the current Emperor Qing.

…………

In an uninhabited mountain forest dozens of miles outside Kyoto, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged with wounds all over his body, trying hard to call upon the only true energy in his body to heal himself.

The two attribute points were added to his physique, allowing him to recover a little strength and energy. He ran all the way here, and only after making sure there was no danger did he start to practice internal energy to heal his wounds.

But in less than an hour, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

In this battle, he was indeed in a desperate situation. If he had not still had two attribute points, he would really have died at the hands of Emperor Qing, and then he would have to use up a restart card.

Reopening the card has always been his most important means of saving his life. He has never used it before and dared not try it.

The importance of attribute points has been proven once again. The previous choice of retaining attribute points was undoubtedly a very correct one, and it can really save lives at critical moments.

His life was saved, but the two points of physical fitness added were not as good as healing his injuries. His injuries were too serious. It was only because his Ruyi Jin true Qi had a super healing effect that he could survive. Otherwise, even with the two points of physical fitness added, it would have been difficult for him to escape from Emperor Qing and hold on until now.

All the tendons in his body were broken, and he only used his true Qi to protect the tendons in his legs to facilitate his movements. The other tendons had not recovered at all. Even with the help of Ruyi Jin's true Qi, it would take a long time to heal. The same went for the broken bones, which also needed a long time to recover.

The most crucial thing is that the damage to his tendons and the destruction of his dantian caused his Qi level to fall. According to his calculations, his Ruyi Jin Qi was extremely special and should be able to recover, but it would take at least several months to restore his cultivation to that of a grandmaster.

"Li Yunqian, Ye Liuyun, and the temple. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman."

Zhou Chen's personality is not the type that is particularly strong and domineering. He is more of the type that will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will return the favor tenfold.

He almost died in this siege. This hatred will not end until one's death. He will not let these three people and the forces behind them go.

Although he was angry, he was still able to control himself. The most important thing now was not to think about revenge, but to heal his wounds first.

He did escape, but his injuries were real. Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun might think that he would be in great danger. If that was true, it would be a good thing for him.

But he also knew that this kind of thing could not depend on what others thought. Even if Emperor Qing knew that the chances of him being alive were slim, he would definitely do his best to find him. He would want to see him alive or his body if he was dead.

So he couldn't relax at all now. The best option was to disappear quickly and find a safe place to recuperate.

'However, before I disappear, there is one thing I must do.'

After all, he still couldn't let go of Zhan Pianpian, Sang Wen and others. Hundreds of years had passed, but he still couldn't be so cold-blooded and heartless. The people he cared about were more important to him than anything else.

Being sentimental is his weakness, but he can't change it now. Maybe he will change slowly in the future...

After recovering some strength, Zhou Chen headed in one direction. About two hours later, he arrived at a fishing village east of Kyoto and sneaked into a farmyard.

This is one of the safe houses he chose. It is also the one that has existed the longest and is closest to Kyoto.

But the safe house is not in this farmyard, but under a well in the yard.

Zhou Chen did not disturb the woman in the house, but jumped into the well with a flash, and then quickly came to a dark room inside the well.

There were only four people in the dark room at this time, namely Sang Wen, Sun Yi, Tong Quan, and a farmer.

Zhou Chen’s sudden appearance startled the four of them. When they saw Zhou Chen clearly, they were overjoyed.

"Son."

"Master."

"Lord."

Sang Wen rushed over excitedly, while Sun Yi and the other two half-knelt and saluted Zhou Chen.

"Get up, I'm relieved to see that you are all right."

Sang Wen saw Zhou Chen covered in blood and asked nervously, "Sir, are you injured?"

Zhou Chen comforted him, "Well, don't worry, there's no danger to his life. Where's Sun Yi and He Qin?"

Sun Yi lowered his head in shame: "He Qin led people to rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess. We have lost contact. After arriving here, we dare not leave. We can only hide here and wait."

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. Originally, he was most worried about Zhan Pianpian, because there was a secret passage arranged by him in the Zhou Mansion, and besides him, only Sun Yi knew about it, so there would be no problem in escaping.

But the situation at the post station was different. Emperor Qing must have made perfect preparations long ago. There was no telling how many people were lying in ambush. Although the highest combat power of Qing country was all staring at him, he didn't need too much combat power to deal with the post station. It all depended on crowds, which was a huge trouble.

Under the circumstances at that time, he couldn't escape. Although he let all the Star Guards pass, he was still worried, so he asked Shadow to take the letter to Chen Pingping.

He felt that Chen Pingping had reasons to help and should help, but he was not 100% sure whether he would do so.

Now that he has confirmed that everything is fine here, what he is most worried about is Zhan Pianpian, He Qin and others at the inn.

Chapter 1475 Zhou Chen's Counterattack, the Queen Mother's Death

Zhou Chen did not plan to stay in the dark room underground for long. The most important thing now was to ensure the safety of He Qin and Zhan Pianpian.

"My Lord, please let me go."

Hearing Zhou Chen say that he was going to get information, the farmer Zhang Hu hurriedly advised: "The dog emperor must be looking for you everywhere now, and you are injured, so you shouldn't show up at this time. This is my hometown, and I am a farmer now. If I go to Kyoto City to inquire, no one will suspect me."

Sun Yi also advised: "Master, Zhang Hu is right. You are injured and it is not appropriate for you to show up. No one knows that Zhang Hu is our man. Let Zhang Hu go and find out."

Although Sang Wen didn't say anything, he held Zhou Chen tightly with both hands, his face full of tension.

Zhou Chen hesitated a little, but when he thought that if he escaped, Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun would definitely not give up looking for him, it was indeed not suitable to go to Kyoto City at this time.

Moreover, so much time has passed, he left Kyoto, and Sang Wen and the others also escaped. At this time, if Zhan Pianpian and the others had not been caught, they would have definitely escaped.

"Okay, but don't worry. It's getting dark now. Entering Kyoto at this time will more easily arouse suspicion."

Seeing that Zhou Chen did not insist on going alone, Zhang Hu and Sun Yi both breathed a sigh of relief. As for whether to go now or tomorrow, they didn't care so much.

"Zhang Hu, you go up first."

"Yes, my Lord, I will bring you food later."

"it is good."

Zhou Chen nodded, and when he saw Zhang Hu was about to leave, he called him back.

"Zhang Hu, after this incident, the darkroom here will be destroyed. If you want to live a stable life, you should stay here from now on."

But when Zhang Hu heard this, his face changed drastically and he knelt down in front of Zhou Chen with a nervous look on his face.

"My Lord, I am willing to serve you in my lifetime. No matter when or where, as long as you need me, I am willing to sacrifice my life."

Seeing Zhang Hu's determined face, Zhou Chen remained silent. He was not testing Zhang Hu, but he really thought so.

It was enough to use the safe house once, and he didn't plan to let it exist anymore. Since there was no safe house anymore, Zhang Hu, who was responsible for guarding here, naturally didn't have to watch over the safe house every day.

"Let's talk about this later."

After Zhang Hu went up, Zhou Chen gave some instructions to Sang Wen and Sun Yi, and then began to sit cross-legged to heal his injuries.

Sun Yi went to guard the exit of the dark room, while Sang Wen sat not far from Zhou Chen, looking at him with concern.

She had been living a stable life in Zhou Mansion without any pressure before, but after this escape, she realized that even a great master like Zhou Chen was not absolutely safe, so she cherished the days with Zhou Chen even more.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Zhang Hu quietly came to the dark room underground and brought food to Zhou Chen and the others.

The night passed quickly. Fortunately, when this dark room was built, the space was large and all the necessary facilities were in place. As long as there was enough food, we could live naturally for a while even without going to the ground.

The next morning, Zhang Hu pretended to be a vegetable farmer and drove a ox cart with the villagers. He put a lot of vegetables on the cart and swayed towards Kyoto.

It was not until the evening that Zhang Hu returned to the village, and then he went to Zhou Chen to report the situation at night.

"My Lord, everyone entering and leaving Kyoto is under strict inspection today, and there is even some chaos in the city. However, according to what I have learned, Her Highness the Princess should not have been caught by the dog emperor. But I don't know whether she is hiding in Kyoto or has already escaped."

Zhou Chen felt a little relieved when he heard this. Although he felt that even if Emperor Qing captured Zhan Pianpian, he would most likely not do anything. After all, he had to keep a trump card in his hand before seeing his body.

But not catching him is the best news.

"It's just that the Master's Star Guards suffered heavy casualties. The situation was too detailed and I was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so I didn't dare to ask more."

Upon hearing about the heavy casualties among the Star Guards, Zhou Chen's face turned cold and his hands clenched unconsciously, while Sun Yi's eyes turned red. He was the leader of the Star Guards, and most of those people were trained by him personally, and he had a deep relationship with them, so now that he learned that they were dead, he was the saddest.

"My brothers' deaths will not be in vain. I will avenge them."

Although he didn't know what the exact situation was, Xing Wei's death was definitely to protect Zhan Pianpian, so he must avenge this grudge.

It was worth being happy that Zhan Pianpian was fine, but the death of so many of his men made Zhou Chen feel very unhappy.

After thinking for a night, Zhou Chen realized that even though his sister Ruyi’s healing effect was very good, it would still be a long process to fully recover.

If you want to speed up recovery, you have to change places. The best place is still the old place, Dadong Mountain.

A few days later, Zhang Hu finally found a sign left by his own people near Kyoto, confirming that Zhan Pianpian and the others were not only alive but also safe.

Following Zhou Chen's order, Zhang Hu left a safety signal and did not continue searching.

For Zhou Chen, the top priority now is to heal his injuries first. However, recuperating in this place is too inefficient, so he needs to go to Dadong Mountain to heal his injuries.

But before you go, you need to arrange things first.

Sang Wen wanted to go to Dadong Mountain with Zhou Chen to help take care of Zhou Chen, but was rejected by Zhou Chen. The journey was long and Emperor Qing would definitely not give up looking for him. He was still injured and it would be very inconvenient to take Sang Wen with him. It would not be good for them. It would be safest for him to travel alone.

So when the wind died down a little, Zhou Chen took Sang Wen and Sun Yi and left Zhang Hu's village and headed to the east to take a boat.

Zhou Chen's disguise technique was learned from Ren Ruyi. He had never used it before because there was no need. But after he really used it, the three of them immediately changed their appearance and turned into another person.

Qing State is no longer safe, so Zhou Chen plans to send them to Qi State. He has a way to contact Haitang Duoduo, and plans to send them to Northern Qi by sea.

It’s a pity that there has been no news from Zhan Pianpian and the others in recent days, but he also understands that keeping silent at this time is the best choice. It is enough to know that they are safe. He will definitely see them when he returns to Kyoto next time.

With a new look and new identification, they quickly boarded a ship from the east sea and headed for Northern Qi.

On the boat, Zhou Chen looked towards Kyoto.

"Li Yunqian, I can't kill you now, but I still left you a gift. I'm sure you will like it."

Kyoto!

A few days passed, and there was still no news about Zhou Chen, nor any information about Zhan Pianpian and Sang Wen. Emperor Qing had not slept well for several days.

The injuries on his body had almost healed, but his left eye was already disabled, causing him to not attend court in the past few days. All imperial decrees were issued directly from the imperial study.

Every time he lay in bed, he felt a dull pain in his left eye. Whenever it hurt, he would think of Zhou Chen, and then he would become restless and unable to fall asleep.

Although he seemed calm on the surface, he was actually very panicked in his heart, because Zhou Chen had created many miracles. His mind told him that Zhou Chen would be useless if he didn't die, but psychologically, he couldn't stop worrying.

It is rare in the world that a dignified emperor could be frightened like this by a minister.

In the past few days, he also heard a lot of rumors, but he didn't care. Those people were just rats in the gutter and could not threaten him at all.

And because he 'killed' Zhou Chen, Kyoto has been peaceful these days. All the problems caused by various things before seemed to have disappeared in an instant.

The biggest thing in Kyoto right now is the Spring Examination which will be held soon, and preparations are being made in full swing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, Eunuch Hou rolled in from outside, his face full of fear and panic.

Emperor Qing narrowed his right eye and looked at Eunuch Hou with murderous intent.

"What happened again?"

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother..."

Emperor Qing's heart skipped a beat and he stood up suddenly: "What's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother has passed away."

"what?"

Emperor Qing was shocked. Although the empress dowager was already old, she had always been in good health and had always been cared for by imperial physicians. How could she have died suddenly?

"What happened? The Queen Mother was fine, how could she suddenly pass away?"

Eunuch Hou knelt on the ground and explained in a panic: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was murdered..."

Emperor Qing was even more horrified. Without thinking too much, he immediately rushed to the Queen Mother's bedroom, and then he saw a scene that made him shudder.

The empress dowager was indeed dead, but it was not a normal death. She was hung on a beam with white silk. Her face, mouth, hands and feet had turned purple and black, and there was a dagger stuck in her heart.
