Zhou Chen pretended to be melancholy and said, "What can I do? Who made me meet you? If you hadn't saved me several times in Meiling, I wouldn't bother to care about you. Maybe in two years, when I have mastered the peerless magic skills, I will go to Jinling to take the dog emperor's head."
"Don't say that. Maybe there is still something hidden behind what happened back then."
"Hidden secret? Do you believe it yourself? If Xia Jiang and Xie Yu didn't have the emperor's order, would they dare to attack the Red Flame Army? If there was no order from the dog emperor, would Prince Qi's mansion end up like that? You, you clearly know all this, but you still lie to yourself."
Lin Shu remained silent. What Zhou Chen said was right. In fact, he knew it better than anyone else, but it was really hard for him to accept it. That man was both his uncle and his aunt-in-law, one of his closest people, so he was so unwilling to accept it.
"Look at your gloomy face. Compared to you now, I still miss the rebellious and powerful you in the past."
Lin Shu's face turned even darker, and he said faintly, "Yes, we can never go back to the past. I am no longer Lin Shu, but Mei Changsu. Don't forget, in the future, when you are in front of others, you have to call me Mei Changsu."
"Mei Changsu is Mei Changsu. I'll call you Xiao Shu anyway. There's not much difference between calling you Xiao Shu and Xiao Su."
Zhou Chen held his chin with a thoughtful look on his face. Mei Changsu asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering, since you've already picked a new name for yourself, should I also pick a new name?"
When traveling around the world, a vest is still very important.
"Of course. You are now a wanted criminal of the imperial court. You cannot use the name Zhou Chen anymore. You need to find a new name."
Zhou Chen nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Naming is a laborious task, so I'll just be called Chen Yu from now on."
"The Chen of Gui Chen?"
"Well, 羽 is the 羽 of feathers, which is simple and easy to understand."
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, that's a good name. In this case, it wouldn't be so abrupt if I called you Xiao Chen."
"I'm going to start healing you, sit still."
Zhou Chen asked Mei Changsu to get ready, then he put his hands behind his back and, under his control, the pure Yang internal force entered Mei Changsu's body.
Although the Pure Yang Internal Force is extremely strong and yang, as long as it is controlled well, its healing effect is better than other internal forces. Mei Changsu's physical weakness is basically affected by the cold and his physical weakness after detoxification. The treatment of Pure Yang Internal Force is very useful.
This healing process lasted for an hour, and by the end, both Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu had begun to sweat.
Zhou Chen was sweating because he was tired. He had to control the pure Yang internal energy to flow within Mei Changsu's body to treat him, while also making sure not to hurt Mei Changsu's fragile body. It was certainly not an easy task.
Mei Changsu, on the other hand, felt comfortable and warm. He had a cold and was very weak. He was very afraid of the cold and had to wear thick clothes even in summer.
But Zhou Chen's pure yang internal force was extremely strong and yang. After entering his body, it made him feel extremely warm and comfortable, and also made him extremely relaxed, which was much more comfortable than leaning against the brazier.
He hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time. If Zhou Chen hadn't been helping him, he would probably have fallen asleep.
After Zhou Chen finished his practice, Mei Changsu said a few words to Zhou Chen and then fell asleep.
Zhou Chen didn't wake him up, but covered him with the quilt and left the bedroom.
He had just walked out of the bedroom and had no time to catch his breath when he saw Wei Zheng and others surrounding him.
"Achen, how is the young commander?"
"Sir, is the young commander feeling better?"
"Sir, why didn't the young marshal come out with you?"
"Son..."
Except for Wei Zheng, everyone else, like Li Gang, called Zhou Chen "Young Master".
Zhou Chen was annoyed by their noise and waved his hand listlessly: "Alright, stop arguing, can't you just speak one by one? Xiao Shu has fallen asleep, just arrange for someone to go in and serve him, everyone else can go away."
"I go."
Li Gang was the first to stand up, causing the others to glare at him angrily.
Mei Changsu is now the backbone of the old Red Flame members. They used to admire him, but now they feel sorry for him. They don't want to see the young marshal worrying too much, but they can't persuade him, so they can only try their best to take good care of Mei Changsu.
Wei Zheng took Zhou Chen to the guest room, and Zhen Ping followed behind.
"Achen, how is the young marshal doing?"
"Not very good. I have used my inner strength to heal him, but his foundation is too weak and he still needs long-term recuperation. In the next period of time, I will often use my inner strength to help him comb his body, and he should be much better."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but say, "Young Marshal is suffering so much. If you were here, you might be able to persuade him."
Zhou Chen sighed, "Although we all went through the Battle of Meiling and suffered the same fate, he lost more than any of us. I can understand his feelings."
Wei Zheng: "I can understand that, but seeing the young commander's body getting weaker and weaker, I really can't bear it."
Zhen Ping, who had been following behind, couldn't help but ask, "Master, I really don't understand. You and the young marshal were both poisoned by the fire and cold poison. Even the old Pavilion Master Lin said that your poisoning was more serious than the young marshal's. Why did you recover so quickly and even practice internal skills again, but the young marshal is so weak?"
Wei Zheng shouted in dissatisfaction: "Zhen Ping, what are you talking about? Hasn't Elder Lin explained this matter very clearly? If he had a way, how could he not save the young marshal?"
Zhen Ping's eyes were red: "I just feel sad. Seeing the young marshal like this now, and thinking about how graceful he was in the past, I really find it hard to accept."
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhen Ping calmly and said, "The world is so big, some things cannot be controlled by human power. Zhen Ping, instead of spending your time complaining here, you might as well go back and practice martial arts well. When you have mastered martial arts, go and protect Xiao Shu. This is what you should do."
Zhen Ping lowered his head and said, "I know what to do. I'm sorry, sir, I just lost my composure."
Zhou Chen waved his hand, ignored it and walked forward. However, Wei Zheng glared at Zhen Ping with dissatisfaction again.
Wei Zheng understood why Zhen Ping suddenly complained. In fact, many of Chi Yan's former subordinates had similar ideas to Zhen Ping.
They all felt that God was unfair. The young marshal Lin Shu was so high-spirited and powerful back then, but now he has become a weak scholar who is weak and sickly and needs medication all year round.
On the contrary, Zhou Chen, who used to have average talent, has now become a genius with extraordinary talent. He was accepted as a disciple by the Master of Langya Pavilion, and his martial arts skills have reached a level that they can hardly reach.
Comparing Zhou Chen and Lin Shu, they naturally felt a little unbalanced. After all, they had known Lin Shu for many years and had a deep friendship with him, whereas they had only been with Zhou Chen for about a year, so naturally there was a difference in closeness between them. It wasn't that he really had any opinion of Zhou Chen.
Wei Zheng understood his thoughts, which was why he scolded him just now. He understood Zhen Ping, but he understood Lin Shu and Zhou Chen even better.
In fact, among the former members of the Chiyan Clan, if we really talk about feelings, Lin Shu and Zhou Chen are the ones with the deepest friendship, an absolute life-and-death friendship.
If Lin Shu knew what Zhen Ping was thinking, he would definitely be very angry.
Zhou Chen didn't take Zhen Ping's complaints to heart. To be honest, he didn't have many deep feelings for Zhen Ping's old followers of Chiyan.
His entry into the Chiyu Camp was equivalent to furthering his studies. Apart from having a good relationship with the high-ranking officers of the Chiyan Army, he had the best relationship with Lin Shu and Wei Zheng in the Chiyu Camp.
Later, everyone gathered together and established a deep friendship on the way to Mount Langya. In addition, the few years of getting along with each other on Mount Langya made their relationship even closer.
Arriving at the guest room, Zhou Chen asked Wei Zheng about their current situation.
"How many people have been gathered by the Chiyan's old subordinates?"
Wei Zheng said: "In fact, according to our investigation, we have found quite a few people, but many of them have changed their identities and are unwilling to come out again. The young commander is kind-hearted and did not force them. Currently, we have gathered more than 80 former members of the Chiyan clan."
"In addition to the people we have recruited in the past few years, after being screened by the young commander, we now have more than 300 people. The number is not large, but each of them is an elite. If they are placed in the Red Flame Army, they can also serve as sergeants and squad leaders."
"But the people of the underworld are just the underworld people. They are far less manageable than the army. We have to use both kindness and force to subdue them."
"Young Marshal means that our core personnel should still be Chiyan, and the rest of the people will mostly be peripheral, with some appropriately recruited as core personnel."
Zhou Chen nodded. Mei Changsu’s strategy was fine.
The people in the underworld are somewhat similar to the idle people in later generations. They can help you and obey you, but it is very difficult to get their absolute loyalty to you.
"I think Xiao Shu has definitely not given up his investigation of Jinling City, right?"
Wei Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Well, the young marshal has never given up the investigation, and has already contacted Mr. Thirteen and established a contact point in Jinling."
This was their top secret, but he did not hide anything from Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen was one of them.
Zhou Chen listened carefully to Wei Zheng's narration. Although Mei Changsu had only been down the mountain for more than a year, he had already done a lot of things.
However, up to now, the future famous Jiangzuo League has not been established, the name of Jiangzuo Meilang has not spread throughout the world, and Mei Changsu has not been evaluated as a talented scholar.
After Wei Zheng left, Zhou Chen was still in deep thought. According to the time, the plot of Langya Bang began twelve years after the Battle of Meiling. Now about four years have passed. If we calculate the time, there should be about eight years left before the plot.
To be precise, Mei Changsu and his group's power has already developed in the Jiangzuo area and has become somewhat famous, but it has not yet become completely famous in other countries. At least the name of the force, Jiangzuo League, has not yet been proposed.
Of course, it is also possible that his appearance caused the development of things to be a little different from the original plot, but it shouldn't be much different.
After arriving in Yangzhou, Zhou Chen never left, but planned the development with Mei Changsu. He is now definitely the most powerful force among them.
With Mei Changsu's wisdom, Zhou Chen's ability to find and fill in the gaps and their fighting ability, as well as a group of loyal subordinates, they began to show their fangs and develop rapidly.
They pulled one group together and fought another, sweeping across the underworld forces in the Yangzhou area at an extremely fast speed, becoming the largest force in Yangzhou, and then began to expand to the surrounding areas.
Because they had made a plan long ago, and had strict discipline and acted like the wind, those underworld forces were no match for them. Before long, the Jiangzuo League they founded became the most prominent underworld force in the Fourteen States of Jiangzuo, and became the new elite of the underworld in Daliang.
However, Zhou Chen had an agreement with Mei Changsu that he would never reveal his true identity when taking action.
Mei Changsu's idea was that he didn't want people to know that Zhou Chen was also a member of the Jiangzuo League, because he would go to Jinling City to overturn the case in the future, and he himself had no idea what the situation would be like at that time. If his identity was exposed and something went wrong, Zhou Chen hiding in the dark might become their killer move.
Zhou Chen understood Mei Changsu's concerns, so he agreed to his idea.
Therefore, whenever Zhou Chen took action, he wore a mask, changed his appearance, and altered his body shape. People outside only knew that the deputy leader of the Jiangzuo League was a man of great martial arts skills, but they did not know the deputy leader's true identity.
Even within the Jiangzuo League, only very few people knew Zhou Chen's true identity, because he had always lived in seclusion and not many people had seen him.
The power of the Jiangzuo League is growing, and it has recruited many martial arts masters. Now Zhou Chen basically no longer needs to take action. Zhou Chen usually practices martial arts on his own and regularly checks and treats Mei Changsu's body.
On this day, Zhou Chen was practicing martial arts in his own yard. He had practiced the Pure Yang Technique for several years, and relying on his extraordinary skills, he rarely encountered bottlenecks.
The deeper his skills are, the more he knows the power of this skill. It is no exaggeration to say that with this talent, one year of internal skill practice for him is equivalent to ten years or even more for others.
If this skill always exists, even if he travels to other martial arts worlds in the future, even high-level martial arts worlds, he will no longer be afraid. As long as he is given time, he will surpass everyone sooner or later.
But this is just thought, the system will definitely not give him such a high starting point, and this skill will disappear after leaving this world.
Suddenly, Zhou Chen, who was sitting cross-legged, moved his ears. He heard a series of hurried footsteps and someone was approaching quickly.
He slowly opened his eyes, and not long after, Mei Changsu brought Li Gang and Zhen Ping into the yard. In addition to the three of them, Zhen Ping was carrying a child on his back.
Before he could say anything, Mei Changsu spoke anxiously: "Xiaochen, hurry up, save him, save this child."
Zhou Chen stood up and looked at the very weak young man with scars all over his back, and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Mei Changsu said anxiously: "Let's talk about this later. He is dying. You should save him first."
Zhou Chen rarely saw Mei Changsu lose his composure like this, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Bring him into the house."
After several people entered the room, Zhou Chen asked Zhen Ping to help the child sit up on the bed and took off his clothes.
As soon as the clothes were taken off, the four of them saw the shocking scars on the child's body, and they couldn't help but gasp.
Although they were all veterans of the battlefield and had killed countless enemies, this child was only eleven or twelve years old at most, but he had more wounds on his body than all of them combined, and many of them were old injuries, at least several years old.
Zhou Chen immediately sat cross-legged behind the young man, gathering his internal energy and placing his hands on the young man's back.
More than half an hour passed before Zhou Chen withdrew his hands, sweating all over his forehead.
"He's alive. Lay him down flat and treat his wounds."
Taking the towel from Mei Changsu and wiping the sweat off his face, Zhou Chen asked, "What happened to this child? When I treated him just now, I found that his body was severely traumatized. It seemed that someone used a secret method to overdraw his body and stimulate his potential. Even his meridians were damaged. Coupled with these injuries on his body, he will most likely be a useless person in the future. Where did you find this child?"
Mei Changsu sighed, "Not long ago, we wiped out a notorious secret ninja assassin organization in the martial arts world. We found many young children in their base camp. These children were trained as assassins by them. They started to receive training from a very young age and used secret drugs to stimulate their potential."
"A group of children in their teens caused our Jiangzuo League to lose a lot of people because these children are too crazy and have no rationality at all. No matter what you say, it will be useless to them. They are like a group of killing weapons, killing anyone they see."
"This child is the only survivor among that group of children. I felt sorry for him, so I brought him back."
Li Gang added: "This kid seems to have a problem with his brain. He almost hurt the young commander."
"Li Gang, how many times have I told you, stop calling me Young Marshal and call me Sect Leader." Mei Changsu scolded in dissatisfaction.
Li Gang shrank his neck and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Yes, Sect Master."
Zhou Chen looked at the sleeping boy in surprise, with some guesses in his mind.
The killer organization, the secret medicine stimulates potential, and there is something wrong with the brain...
Could it be that this child is Fei Liu, the little guard beside Mei Changsu? It seems like they really match.
He has watched Nirvana in Fire, but there is very little introduction to Fei Liu in the plot, and he doesn't know much about Fei Liu's origins.
But considering his age and time, plus Mei Changsu's description just now, it is possible that this young man is the Xiao Feiliu who is highly skilled in martial arts.
If it really is Xiao Feiliu, then it would be interesting.
Mei Changsu asked again with concern: "Is there still a cure for this child?"
Zhou Chen sighed, "This killer organization is really cruel. If it were an ordinary child, he would have died long ago. It's not easy for this child to survive until now. But as I said just now, even if this child is saved, he will most likely become a useless person in the future."
"That means there is still a cure?" Mei Changsu asked.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Your ability to read people's minds is getting better and better. You're right. Under normal circumstances, his condition is basically impossible to cure, but I happen to have a way to help him."
Mei Changsu excitedly grabbed Zhou Chen's hand: "Then you must help him."
"Don't be so excited. Although your body has recovered well now, you can't have too much emotional fluctuations. I promise you that I will help him."
Zhou Chen stopped the excited Mei Changsu, and then said: "You know that I practice the Pure Yang Technique, but in fact, Langya Pavilion also has an internal martial arts technique called Xiyang Technique. This technique may be able to help this child."
