The world of film and television begins from childhood

Seeing that his trick was discovered, Mu Qing was not embarrassed and said carefully: "Why don't we ask someone for help, for example, Brother Yu? I think he actually has you in his heart. As long as you ask, he will definitely be willing to help."

Mu Nihuang asked back, "Help? How can I help? He didn't participate. What's more, he has already made it so clear. Do you still want me to compete with that brothel girl?"

"Sister, that's not what I meant. I just think that you should choose someone you like instead of looking for someone you don't know or like. Brother Yu is annoying and irritating sometimes, but he's actually a really nice guy."

"I heard that you scolded him to his face, why are you saying he's good now?"

"If it's me and him, I will definitely side with you, but if it's him and someone else, then I will definitely side with him."

"You're the only one who would say that. You don't have to worry about this matter."

"But, sister..."

Chapter 829 Emperor Liang issued an edict, Daliang Palace, Zhou Chen's plan

In the snowy pavilion of the Xie Mansion, Zhou Chen and his group were sitting in the yard and talking.

Because the preliminary exam had ended, Zhou Chen accepted Xiao Jingrui's invitation and came to Xie's house, and everyone gathered in Xuelu.

Bailiqi's battle today was so amazing that Yan Yujin kept talking about it after he came back.

He and Xiao Jingrui both took part in the preliminary examination and were in the top ten, qualifying for the written examination. However, Baili Qi's external skills were too strong, and even if both of them were combined, they would not have any chance of winning.

Both of them have a very good relationship with Princess Nihuang, and naturally they don't want to see Princess Nihuang marry a rough man like Baili Qi, so they are all thinking about how to deal with it.

On the contrary, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were very calm and did not look anxious at all.

Yan Yujin saw that only he and Xiao Jingrui were anxious and angry here, and it would have been fine if Mei Changsu didn't move, after all, he had nothing to do with Princess Nihuang. But when he saw that Zhou Chen was also indifferent, he suddenly became restless.

"Brother Yu, aren't you anxious at all?"

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Yujin, I have already explained that there is really nothing between Princess Nihuang and me, why don't you believe it?"

Yu Jin didn't say anything, but his expression spoke for itself. How could he possibly believe that it was he who brought Princess Nihuang to see Gong Yu that day, and he was also present when Mu Qing caused trouble for Zhou Chen.

In this situation, how could he possibly believe what Zhou Chen said.

"Brother Yu, do you have any good ideas to help Sister Nihuang out of her current predicament?"

Zhou Chen said: "There is always a way out. Princess Nihuang herself is not in a hurry, which means she has made preparations. I don't need to worry about this."

"Is that right?"

Yan Yujin looked doubtful and exchanged glances with Xiao Jingrui.

Seeing that Zhou Chen had no ideas, Yan Yujin looked at Mei Changsu again. He felt that Mei Changsu was worthy of the title of "unicorn talent" and might be able to come up with a solution.

"Brother Su, is there nothing you can do?"

Mei Changsu replied calmly: "If you want me to come up with a solution, I have to meet Baili Qi at the palace banquet held by the emperor tomorrow before I can make plans. Now I haven't met him yet, so what can I come up with just by listening to you?"

After hearing this, Yan Yujin thought it made sense and stopped asking questions. Instead, he started thinking of a solution himself.

Finally, he thought of a way, which was to let Xiao Jingrui challenge Baili Qi. Because Xiao Jingrui was named after the prince, people who didn't know the details would probably think that Xiao Jingrui was the prince.

But Mei Changsu quickly shattered their fantasies. Xiao Jingrui was a celebrity, and as long as they put their heart into it, it would be easy to find out his information.

As they talked, they came to the topic of Xiao Jingrui's identity. Yan Yujin told Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen everything he knew about Xiao Jingrui, just like telling a story.

Although Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu already knew this secret, they still listened to Yan Yujin's explanation very carefully.

Suddenly, a servant came to report that the young Prince Mu came to visit and asked to see Zhou Chen by name.

Xiao Jingrui looked at Zhou Chen: "It seems that Prince Mu already knows that you are here, Brother Yu, do you want to see him? If not, I will deal with him."

Zhou Chen said: "If you send him away this time, he will come to me again. Forget it, just let him come."

Not long after, Mu Qing was brought to Xuelu by the servants of the Xie Mansion. As soon as he saw Zhou Chen, he rushed over.

"Brother Yu, I know you are very capable, so quickly find a way to deal with that Bailiqi. I get angry just by looking at him now."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. He was pointing at him and scolding him a few days ago, and today he started calling him Brother Yu again. This kid is really shameless.

"How can I solve this problem? Lord Mu, you have found the wrong person."

Mu Qing chuckled and said, "Brother Yu, I know you are still angry with me. I did say something harsh last time, and I apologize. But this time is different. This is related to my sister's lifelong event, and you can't just ignore it. I have made up my mind. His Majesty will hold a palace banquet tomorrow. Let's go and kill Bailiqi tonight. By then, I will have people hold back the envoys and officials. With your ability, Brother Yu, you will definitely be able to kill Bailiqi."

Zhou Chen's mouth twitched: "Is this the solution you came up with? Have you ever thought that if we do this, will the court let us go?"

Mu Qing said: "We will be wearing masks, so who will know that it was us who did it? Don't be afraid if there is no evidence. Even if we are exposed, we will flee back to the southern border..."

Now even Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin couldn't help it. Prince Mu was really direct in doing things. He really didn't use his brain at all.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Mu Qing was getting bolder and bolder, Zhou Chen quickly coughed to stop him. If he really continued talking like that, he might even say something rebellious.

But he knew that Mu Qing was a sister-con and he could really do such a thing for his sister Mu Nihuang.

"I think you should give up this idea right away. Do you really think that with all of us here, we can kill Bailiqi under such heavy protection?"

Mu Qing said anxiously, "Then what else can we do? If you have a good solution, please tell me now. I am so anxious that I am dying."

He was really anxious, but he just couldn't understand why his sister and brother Yu were not anxious at all.

"Brother Yu, you..."

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted Mu Qing, and Xie Bi, the prince of Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, ran over in a hurry.

"Xie Bi, why are you here?" Xiao Jingrui stood up and asked.

Xie Bi said in a hurry: "His Majesty has sent a verbal order to summon Master Chen Yu to the palace."

"What? Want me to go to the palace to see the emperor?"

Zhou Chen looked in astonishment at Xie Bi who came to tell him the news.

Xie Bi said: "Yes, I will ask you to leave immediately."

Xiao Jingrui looked worried: "Xie Bi, what is going on? How did His Majesty know Brother Yu? And he even summoned Brother Yu to the palace. What is going on?"

Xie Bi looked bewildered: "I don't know what's going on, but His Majesty asked Master Chen to come to the palace immediately without delay."

The emperor's sudden summons made everyone present very worried, and no one knew why the emperor wanted to see Zhou Chen.

Mei Changsu felt the same way. He couldn't understand why Emperor Liang summoned Zhou Chen, even at this special time, when Zhou Chen clearly didn't do anything.

Zhou Chen glanced at Mei Changsu and nodded slightly.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, he naturally cannot escape. This time he must enter the palace.

"Thank you, Prince, but I have never been to the palace. I don't know what the procedures are?"

Xie Bi said: "The imperial guards and eunuchs have come to the palace. On the way there, the eunuchs will definitely tell you the procedures and what to pay attention to."

Zhou Chen nodded and prepared to leave Xuelu with Xie Bi.

Mei Changsu then said, "Brother Yu, don't worry too much. His Majesty is wise and brave, and he will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Zhou Chen understood what Mei Changsu meant. This sudden summons was too strange. Mei Changsu asked him to stay calm and not to do anything extreme.

He laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that Xiao Shu was probably really afraid that he would lose control of himself and suddenly assassinate Emperor Liang.

Under the worried gazes of Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mu Qing, Zhou Chen followed Xie Bi and left Xuelu.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Mu Qing immediately said, "No, I have to go back and tell my sister about this."

After saying this, he left in a hurry without even saying goodbye to Mei Changsu and the others.

It really comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry.

Zhou Chen followed a team of imperial guards and a eunuch to the palace. On the way there, the eunuch explained to Zhou Chen in detail the rules of meeting Emperor Liang. Zhou Chen was also very tactful and stuffed a sachet into the eunuch's hand, which made the eunuch smile even more.

Of course he had been to the Daliang Palace, but that was more than ten years ago. However, he had been to the Forbidden City many times, which was equally magnificent.

However, unlike the Daliang Imperial Palace and the Forbidden City of later generations, this place is more ancient and solemn. At a glance, there are imperial guards, eunuchs and palace maids everywhere.

Zhou Chen had been observing all the way. He didn't know why Emperor Liang wanted to see him, but he had to prepare for the worst. If he had to take action later, he had to think of a good escape route.

But this palace is too big. As he walked and passed by many places, his face became more and more solemn. It was worthy of being a palace. The guards were too strict.

When I watched TV dramas in the past, especially martial arts dramas, I always saw those martial arts masters entering and leaving the palace easily, as if it was very easy to enter the palace and steal something.

But from his observations along the way, he realized that novels and TV were just novels and TV. With such defense, no matter how strong the master was, he would not be able to escape unless there was someone to help from inside and outside.

Soon, Zhou Chen followed the eunuch to a side hall. Emperor Liang summoned him, so naturally he would not go to the main hall for the grand court meeting.

Zhou Chen was asked to wait at the door while the eunuch went in to report. After a while, a voice was heard from inside.

"Call Chen Yu into the hall!"

Led by the young eunuch, Zhou Chen walked into the side hall and followed the rules the eunuch told him.

"See Your Majesty!"

While kneeling down reluctantly, he thought to himself, let this be considered as paying his condolences to Emperor Liang in advance.

Emperor Liang looked at Zhou Chen and was quite satisfied when he saw his handsome face and excellent figure and posture.

"You look good. Are you Chen Yu, known as 'Young Master Yu' in the martial arts world?"

Zhou Chen said: "It is me."

"Get up!"

Emperor Liang motioned Zhou Chen to stand up, and then said, "I heard from Meng Qing that you are an outstanding martial artist, and are ranked seventh on the Jianghu Langya Master List?"

Zhou Chen said modestly: "I am unworthy of your Majesty's presence. This is just Langya Pavilion's one-sided evaluation. In fact, there are countless people in the world who are better at martial arts than me."

"Well, he is quite humble, has outstanding martial arts skills, and possesses the character of a scholar. Not bad, not bad."

Emperor Liang praised him first, then changed the subject: "I heard that you followed Jing Rui and the others to watch the martial arts competition in Yingfeng Tower these days, and you must have seen Baili Qi's martial arts. Who do you think is stronger, him or you?"

Zhou Chen did not expect that Emperor Liang would ask such a question. He immediately realized that Emperor Liang summoned him this time most likely for the purpose of choosing a husband for Princess Nihuang.

"this?"

This question came so suddenly that he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Emperor Liang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth. If you conceal anything, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhou Chen felt unhappy, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. He knew that Emperor Liang was a cruel and ruthless person who regarded human life as worthless. If his answer did not satisfy him, no one knew what he would do.

When it comes to your own life, you must be cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed seen Baili Qi's horizontal training skills. I have been in the martial arts world for many years, and it is very unlikely that I can practice the external skills of horizontal training to his level. If I fight him, if it is a matter of life and death, I am sure I will win, but if it is just a competition, it is hard to say."

Everyone present was puzzled. Emperor Liang asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen said: "If it's a matter of life and death, then of course we'll do whatever it takes. Although Baili Qi is a high-level martial artist, you can tell at a glance that his IQ is not very high. Er, IQ means smart, which means he's not very smart. So it's much easier to kill a stupid expert than a smart one."

"But if we are just sparring, some methods are not suitable to be used. It is inevitable that there will be some reservations when making a move, and I can only exert 80% to 90% of my full strength. That is why I dare not claim victory."

Everyone present understood what Zhou Chen meant, but Emperor Liang still asked a question to Meng Zhi, who was in charge of martial arts.

"Mr. Meng, is what he said true?"

Meng Zhi immediately turned around and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, he is right. There is indeed a big difference between sparring and fighting a life-and-death battle."

Emperor Liang nodded and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he asked again: "Chen Yu, if I let you replace one of the top ten candidates in this son-in-law selection meeting tomorrow, and then let you challenge Baili Qi in front of the palace, regardless of life or death, but not using despicable means, can you beat Baili Qi?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be silent and said, "If that's the case, Your Majesty, I can only say that I am 70% to 80% sure."

"it is good."

Emperor Liang slammed the table with joy. With a 70% to 80% chance of success, he thought it was basically enough.

"Chen Yu, if you can defeat Bailiqi tomorrow, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen thanked him loudly.

Emperor Liang said, "Then you will enter the palace with Jing Rui and the others tomorrow. Now you can leave."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving the order, Zhou Chen left immediately. It was really uncomfortable to stay in this shabby place.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who were standing aside and had not finished speaking, had flickering eyes and no one knew what they were thinking.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked out of the palace, he was shocked by the scene outside.

There were several carriages parked not far away, and when he came out, a group of eyes were staring at him.
