A few of them played around in the snow hut for a while, and finally, when it was almost noon, they leisurely headed to the Yingfeng Tower.

Because Mei Changsu was in poor health, Xiao Jingrui very considerately arranged a carriage, and he and Yan Yujin led the way.

The group walked through the bustling streets. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were chatting and laughing. Yan Yujin had also forgotten what happened last night and his mood returned to normal.

Zhou Chen approached Yingfeng Tower and saw the soldiers guarding outside. He suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have what was in the invitation letter. Without proof, it was unlikely that the guards would let him in.

Just as he was considering whether to use Qinggong to get inside, suddenly a voice full of surprise sounded.

"Brother Yu?"

Seeing this familiar name, Zhou Chen immediately thought of Xiao Jingrui, who had traveled with him for more than half a month. Turning back, he saw that it was indeed the case.

He saw Xiao Jingrui riding a tall horse, looking at him with surprise. Next to Xiao Jingrui was a young man who was a little younger.

Xiao Jingrui quickly dismounted, threw the reins to Yan Yujin, and walked quickly to Zhou Chen.

"Brother Yu, it's really you. I thought I was dazzled and saw it wrong."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Jingrui, it's been a long time since we last met. You seem to have matured a lot."

The joy of reunion made Xiao Jingrui smile: "Brother Yu, when did you come to Jinling? Why didn't you come to find me?"

Zhou Chen said: "I just came to the capital yesterday. I heard that there would be something exciting to watch today, so I came here. But I don't have any connections, so I guess I can't get in."

"It's not that difficult. We also happen to be going to Yingfeng Tower. Brother Yu, if you don't mind, you can come with us."

"Will there be trouble?"

"No trouble, Brother Yu, you don't have to be so polite. I'm so happy to see you here."

While Xiao Jingrui and Zhou Chen were chatting happily, Yan Yujin walked over curiously and glanced at Zhou Chen.

"Jingrui, who is this friend?"

Xiao Jingrui immediately introduced: "Yujin, this is Brother Yu whom I mentioned to you before, known as 'Young Master Yu' in Jianghu. Brother Yu, this is my childhood friend, we grew up together, Yan Yujin, you can just call him Yujin."

"Young Master Yu?"

Yan Yujin’s eyes widened instantly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

How could it be such a coincidence? He had just heard of Gongzi Yu's name last night and was greatly stimulated. Now he saw the real person today. This is too mysterious.

Yan Yujin's exaggerated expression surprised Zhou Chen and Xiao Jingrui.

"Yujin, do you know Brother Yu?"

Yan Yujin came back to his senses and shook his head, "I don't know him, I just heard of him. I didn't expect that Gong Ziyu himself would be like this. I have heard of him for a long time."

His eyes never left Zhou Chen, and his mind was full of thoughts.

To be fair, this Young Master Yu looks pretty good, but I don't know what kind of person he is. However, since he can make both Miss Gong Yu and Sister Nihuang fall in love with him, and Jing Rui admires him very much, he must be a good person.

Zhou Chen also politely clasped his fists and saluted: "Mr. Yan."

Of course he knew Yan Yujin, he had seen him before, but at that time Yan Yujin was just a little kid of a few years old.

Xiao Jingrui added: "I have another friend and his guard in the carriage. He is not in good health. I will introduce him to Brother Yu after we get off the carriage. But I think you must know his name, Brother Yu."

But who knew that the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and Mei Changsu, supported by Fei Liu, got off the carriage and walked towards them.

"Brother Su, why did you come down?" Xiao Jingrui asked worriedly.

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "When I see an old friend, I naturally come over to meet him."

As he said this, he bowed to Zhou Chen.

"Brother Yu, we meet again."

Zhou Chen also cooperated in the acting: "Brother Su, I didn't expect that we could meet here today."

Fei Liu suddenly called out, "Brother Chen."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin were both very surprised. Xiao Jingrui was even more stunned and asked, "Brother Su, Brother Yu, do you two know each other?"

Mei Changsu smiled and explained, "Brother Yu and I have known each other for more than ten years, but we have always been apart more than together. Today, it is because of you, Jingrui, that we can meet again."

Chapter 827: Mu Qing turned against the Empress Dowager, unexpected

Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen knew each other, which was beyond Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin's expectations.

But if you think about it carefully, Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen are ranked first and second on the Langya Young Masters List. One is the leader of the world's largest gang, and the other is the seventh master on the Langya Masters List. As both of them are heroes in the martial arts world, it is not surprising that they know each other.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingrui smiled and said, "Brother Su and Brother Yu know each other, and we meet here again. It's really fate."

Mei Changsu praised: "It is indeed fate that we are together. You are all young and talented people with vigor and vitality, and I am the only one who is a sickly person."

Xiao Jingrui quickly comforted him: "Brother Su, you are too flattering. You are a recognized talent in the world. Brother Yu and you are your equals, while Yu Jin and I are just pawns."

"Jing Rui is right. We can't compare with Brother Su and Brother Yu."

Yan Yujin agreed very much. Among the four, he was the least famous, but he was also the youngest, and he was not like Zhou Chen and the other two who had been in the martial arts world for many years, so naturally fewer people knew him.

Zhou Chen said: "Jing Rui, Master Yan, you are too modest. Brother Su and I are almost thirty years old. You are several years younger than us. You will definitely be better than us in the future."

"Brother Yu is right, Jingrui, Yujin, you don't have to underestimate yourselves. Your future is destined to be more exciting than ours."

Mei Changsu's expression was very serious, he knew that he had no future to speak of. Zhou Chen was better off than him, but it was hard to say for sure, while Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin still had decades to live. With their intelligence and abilities, they would definitely have a bright future.

Xiao Jingrui felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Su, Brother Yu, let's not talk about this here, let's go to Yingfeng Tower first."

"it is good."

As we entered the Yingfeng Tower from the periphery, there were fewer and fewer people watching the battle, and it became increasingly quieter. There were the most people outside, and naturally it was the noisiest.

People greeted Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin along the way. One of them was the eldest son of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, and the other was the son of Yan Guojiu's family. Looking at Daliang, they were of very noble status.

Given the status of the Ningguo Marquisate, their seats were naturally in the colorful brocade tents surrounding the platform square.

Before entering the brocade tent, Xiao Jingrui was still a little worried, because he knew that the Crown Prince and Prince Yu both wanted to recruit Mei Changsu. If he took Mei Changsu there so openly, it would definitely attract the Crown Prince and Prince Yu, so he was a little hesitant.

However, he soon figured it out. Since they were already here, he couldn't let Mei Changsu go back, so he hesitated for a moment, and then the group headed to the location of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

When they arrived at the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, the servants had already prepared a small table and mats. Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin all knelt on the mats in an orderly manner, but Zhou Chen sat cross-legged on the mat. Fei Liu followed suit and sat cross-legged next to Mei Changsu.

Zhou Chen picked up the wine glass with a smile and said to Fei Liu: "Come on, Fei Liu, let's have a drink."

Fei Liu glanced at Mei Changsu, and after getting Mei Changsu's tacit consent, he happily raised the wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Chen.

The competition on the platform below is going on fiercely. The two people on the ring are both of mediocre types. It seems that they are fighting fiercely, but in fact, it is just a fight between noobs.

After all, today is only the first day of the preliminary exam. The people participating in the competition are of varying quality. There are many masters, but there are even more people who are trying to take advantage of the situation.

If he is fast, the battle can be resolved in three or two moves. If he is slow, he may still be hesitating after dozens of moves, which is very annoying.

The people sitting in the brocade tent were fine, as they were served and had snacks and drinks. But the others, especially those who could only stand and look out, were all badly sunburned.

There is a brocade pavilion around the arena that is obviously taller than the other noble pavilions. This is the seat reserved for royal members. Emperor Liang also accepted the kneeling worship of officials and people here before. Now Emperor Liang has left, but there are still people sitting here.

There were two people seated, both wearing luxurious dark red dragon robes. The one in the middle was the current Crown Prince of Daliang, Xiao Jingxuan, and on Xiao Jingxuan's left was the Seventh Prince, Prince Yu, Xiao Jinghuan. The two looked very similar, both in their thirties, with Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan looking slightly younger.

When Zhou Chen and others sat down in the brocade tent of Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, Crown Prince Xiao Jingxuan was the first to lose his temper and kept glancing in that direction.

Although Prince Yu Xiao Jinghuan also noticed the situation there, he was more stable than the crown prince. He just took a look, and then looked at Xiao Jingxuan who was fidgeting, with a sarcastic smile on his face, as if he was mocking Xiao Jingxuan for his impatience.

Zhou Chen's eyes swept around and then fell on Fei Liu who was standing next to him.

"Fei Liu, you must be bored, do you want to go down and play for a while?"

Feiliu bit the snack and shook his head like a rattle.

"It's not fun. They are so bad."

Mei Changsu scolded in a low voice: "Fei Liu, stop talking nonsense."

Fei Liu said firmly, "That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a meteor hammer appeared on the ring, swinging the hammer and knocking himself unconscious.

Although there are many accidents on the stage, this kind of accident is the first time that has occurred in the whole morning, causing an uproar in the entire Yingfeng Tower.

Fei Liu looked at Mei Changsu proudly, as if to say, see, I wasn't talking nonsense.

Mei Changsu was speechless now. What else could he say since it had come to this?

Yan Yujin burst out laughing: "Fei Liu is right, it's really too bad, haha..."

If we were to say who was the most furious person, it must be Mu Qing who was in a brocade tent above. When he saw this situation, he was so angry that he jumped up and cursed.

Mei Changsu was attracted by Mu Qing who was standing diagonally above him, and pretended not to know him and asked, "Who is that?"

Yan Yujin smiled and said, "He is the young prince of the Yunnan Mu Mansion who has just inherited the throne. Mu Qing, Sister Nihuang is most worried about this martial arts competition for a husband, not the princess, but this young prince."

After saying that, he looked at Zhou Chen uncontrollably, while Zhou Chen lowered his head and focused his attention on Fei Liu, as if he was not affected.

This confused him, judging from Sister Nihuang's attitude, it was obvious that she had a special relationship with this Mr. Yu. But why was it that when Sister Nihuang had already started choosing a son-in-law, this Mr. Yu not only did not participate, but he also didn't seem to be in a hurry at all?

Mei Changsu had a complicated expression, and said quietly: "The Mu family siblings have a deep bond, so it should be like this."

Zhou Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard Mei Changsu say this, but he didn't say anything and continued to happily share snacks with Fei Liu.

Mu Qing cursed a few times in frustration. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He was dissatisfied with all the people participating in the competition. If he were to ask who in the world he could be willing to call his brother-in-law, there was one person. Although this person also had many shortcomings, when choosing a general from among the short men, at least he was much better than these ugly ones.

But when he thought of that man, he became so angry that his teeth itched. This guy hasn't shown up yet. Could it be that he really doesn't have his sister in his heart?

At this time, General Changsun, who was standing next to him, suddenly approached and whispered, "Your Highness, look over there."

"what?"

Mu Qing didn't react, but when he saw the direction General Changsun was pointing, he couldn't help but look over there.

Upon seeing this, he immediately slammed the table and blurted out.

“This guy finally showed up.”

He was looking at the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, and naturally saw Zhou Chen sitting there. Even though he was at a distance, he recognized him at a glance.

Seeing Mu Qing rushing over, horse groom Wei Jing'an immediately reminded him, "Your Highness, that's the shed of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion."

Mu Qing ignored him: "I don't care where he is from. Since he showed up, I have to teach him a lesson."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards that place. Seeing that they could not stop him, Wei Jing'an and General Chang Sun hurriedly followed him.

The noise made by Mu Qing was quite loud, attracting many people around to look over. The prince who was about to take action on the opposite side also paused and looked in the direction of Mu Qing curiously.

Zhou Chen also saw Mu Qing's actions, but he did not leave. Anyway, he was ready to confess to Mei Changsu, and he was not afraid of Mu Qing saying it out loud.

After a while, Mu Qing came in front of them. Although Xiao Jingrui and the other two felt strange to see Mu Qing appear here, they all stood up and greeted him.

"Little prince!"

But Mu Qing simply ignored them and shouted at Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, you are finally here. I thought you really didn't care about my sister. Have you signed up? When will you go on stage? These ugly guys today are far inferior to you and are not worthy of my sister at all."

When these words were spoken, except for Yan Yujin who knew it in advance, Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu both showed expressions of astonishment.

Mei Changsu's brain was shocked, and there was only one thought left in his mind: Zhou Chen and Nihuang?

Zhou Chen saw what Mei Changsu was doing, and he felt helpless, so he could only explain: "Young Prince, you really misunderstood. The princess and I are just good friends who get along well with each other, and I didn't sign up for the son-in-law selection conference."

Mu Qing was immediately angry when he heard this: "Brother Yu, you used to call me by my name, why are you calling me Little Prince now?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but shudder. Mu Qing's tone suddenly reminded him of a classic movie.

"You used to call me Sweetie, but now you call me Madam Niu..."

"That's different. Before, the young prince hadn't inherited the throne yet. Now that he has inherited the throne, he naturally can't be the same as before."

Mu Qing: "You should call me Prince, but you insist on adding a little. What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen had a helpless expression on his face. It seemed that Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also called him "Little Prince" just now. Why didn't you get angry with them instead of quibbling with me?

"Why am I talking to you about all this nonsense, Brother Yu? I know everything about you and my sister, so don't pretend with me. After all, isn't my sister much better than that brothel girl of yours? You said you are also a very famous Gongzi Yu in the martial arts world. Why do you have to find a brothel girl when you can find someone else? Just play with a brothel girl, don't..."

"Prince Mu!"

Zhou Chen suddenly interrupted Mu Qing's chatter, his face turned cold, and even the way he addressed her changed.

"I'll say it again, your sister Princess Nihuang and I are just good friends, nothing more. As for what kind of woman I like, it has nothing to do with Prince Mu. To you, she is just a brothel girl, but to me, she is the best."

Mu Qing said angrily: "Chen Yu, you actually ignored my sister and yelled at me for a brothel girl. Are you worthy of us? I respect you as my brother. It was you who took me to the brothel in the first place. How dare you treat me like this now..."

"Cough cough..."

Wei Jing'an really couldn't help it, fearing that Mu Qing would say something more embarrassing, he quickly coughed to interrupt him and went over to hold him.
