The world of film and television begins from childhood

Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Huai said anxiously, "You two, please speak up. Do you think what I said is wrong? You have all seen Madam Zhao. She is really beautiful and a good match for the Marquis. However, her status is far inferior to that of the Marquis. The first lady of our Marquis's mansion should be a lady of a famous family, or a princess or something like that."

"Why aren't you talking? Am I wrong?"

Zhang Heng sighed helplessly, "What do you want us to say? You are the one who said that the Marquis fell in love with Lady Zhao, and you are the one who said that Lady Zhao is not worthy of the Marquis. You have said everything. What else can we say?"

Xue Wu agreed with this. After spending some time together, they already knew Zhou Huai's personality. He couldn't sit still and talked a lot, which was extremely incompatible with them as they were usually serious and taciturn.

"You two are really boring. I really can't have anything to talk to you about."

Zhou Huai felt very frustrated because he had said so much but the two brothers still had no reaction.

"If you can't talk to them, then talk to me?"

The voice behind him made Zhou Huai jump up in shock. He turned around and saw Zhou Chen, his face suddenly filled with nervousness.

"My Lord, I was just joking."

Zhou Chen said seriously: "You said that the princess and the king are more suitable for me, so can you help me find them?"

Zhou Huai laughed dryly and begged for mercy: "My Lord, I was just joking with them. Please forgive me for my mistakes and let me off this time. I will never dare to do it again."

Zhou Chen snorted, "You even dare to talk about me. I think you just lack discipline and are too idle. Starting tomorrow, you will train with Zhang Heng and Xue Wu."

"Zhang Heng, Xue Wu, starting tomorrow, you will train Zhou Huai according to the military standards. Train him hard. I will check after a month. If he doesn't meet the standards, you will be punished as well."

Zhang Heng and Xue Wu were much more straightforward and responded loudly: "Yes, Lord."

Zhou Chen took the lead and left, followed by Zhang Heng and Xue Wu, and finally Zhou Huai followed with a sad face.

Having been with Zhou Chen for such a long time, he felt that Zhou Chen was a very good master, so sometimes he would speak without a few reservations, but what he said behind his back just now was indeed inappropriate, and he himself realized the problem.

The thought of being trained by Zhang Heng and Xue Wu made him tremble with fear, because when he was in the Marquis' Mansion, he had seen how Qin Yi and the others trained. With his small body, he would probably be exhausted to death after a set of training.

However, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only bear it silently under Zhou Chen's orders.

The next morning, when Zhou Huai was still asleep, he was forcefully pulled awake by Zhang Heng and Xue Wu. Amid wailing, he was taken to a separate courtyard behind the guest room to begin training.

Zhou Chen watched for the whole morning and saw that Zhou Huai was exhausted, so he took Qin Yi out after lunch.

There were much more people drinking tea in the tea shop in the afternoon than in the morning. When Zhou Chen brought Qin Yi to Zhao's tea shop, several tables of guests had already gathered in the tea shop.

Chapter 965 Gu Qianfan appears, Pan'er is frightened

"Mr. Zhou, you are here. Your seat is reserved for you. Please take a seat."

Although Zhao Pan'er was busy, she immediately went over to greet Zhou Chen enthusiastically when she saw him come in.

After Zhou Chen sat down, he asked, "Is it the same as yesterday?"

"Let's change it. It's up to you."

Zhou Chen casually said that he had been in Zhao's Tea Shop for such a long time that he had tried almost all the teas there.

"Okay, then please wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Zhou Chen sat quietly near the river, and Qin Yi sat down opposite him.

Zhou Huai is now being trained by Zhang Heng and others, so Qin Yi follows Zhou Chen and serves him.

"relax."

Qin Yi had a resolute expression on his face. Although Zhou Chen asked him to relax, he did not dare to really relax. After a while, his eyes would unconsciously scan the tea shop.

As the captain of Zhou Chen's personal guard, protecting Zhou Chen has almost become an instinct for him.

After the tea and fruit cakes came, Zhou Chen drank and ate while reading a book seriously.

His behavior has become the norm, and people who often come to Zhao's Tea House to drink tea basically know this strange person Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's mind was immersed in the book, but Qin Yi remained alert. Suddenly, his eyes fixed.

"Son."

"what happened?"

Zhou Chen asked without raising his head.

Qin Yi whispered, "The 'living devil' Gu Qianfan from the Imperial City Department whom I met in Tokyo last time, how come he is here?"

Zhou Chen paused for a moment, closed the book, and turned to look over.

Sure enough, the person who came was Gu Qianfan. Perhaps because he was in Qiantang, a place far away from Tokyo, he did not hide anything at all.

"Don't worry about him. Just keep drinking your tea."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly. He knew that Gu Qianfan’s appearance in Zhao’s Tea Shop meant that the plot had officially begun.

It's funny to say that the person who planned this was a bit naive to think that he could overthrow the current saint queen with a picture of a night banquet.

How could the emperor not know whether Empress Liu Wan had lost her virginity?

Gu Qianfan followed Lao Jia, a subordinate of the Imperial City Bureau, into Zhao’s Teahouse. After finding a seat and sitting down, he began to look around the people and objects in the teahouse.

Old Jia asked in a low voice, "Commander, do you think this place is not quiet enough? I heard that you like tea. This Zhao's Teahouse is the best in Qiantang. The tea is fragrant and the fruit is delicious. The shopkeeper is even more beautiful. Everything is complete."

Hearing this, Gu Qianfan couldn't help but look at Zhao Paner.

Under the gaze of the guests, Zhao Pan'er began to show off her skills, using her specialty, the tea art, which drew exclamations from the crowd.

After Zhao Pan'er finished, Lao Jia called out, "Madam Shopkeeper, two cups of Qingfengsui."

"Okay, I'll be here soon."

When Zhao Pan'er brought the Green Phoenix Marrow over, Gu Qianfan looked at it unscrupulously from a close distance.

After Zhao Pan'er put down the tea and candied fruit and turned to leave, he spoke with a look of disdain.

"Is this what you call stunning?"

Old Jia smiled like an auntie: "Ah."

Seeing Gu Qianfan's disdain, he added: "A country woman can certainly not be compared with the beautiful ladies in the capital."

Gu Qianfan said: "When you finish this case, I will transfer you back to Tokyo and let you clean your eyes."

Lao Jia was immediately delighted: "Really? Thank you very much for your guidance."

The two people who were talking to themselves didn't notice that Zhao Pan'er, who was not far away, had a completely black face. She gave them a fierce look and walked towards the kitchen with a plate.

Gu Qianfan didn't talk much about this topic, and instead started talking about the case with Lao Jia.

This time he came all the way from Tokyo to Qiantang just to investigate the case of the Queen's loss of virginity. His first priority was to find the Night Banquet Picture. However, they had already found Wei Ying, the magistrate of Renhe who had been betrayed, but the Night Banquet Picture was not on Wei Ying.

Finally, Wei Ying confessed that the Night Banquet Picture was in the hands of Yang Zhiyuan, the judge of Liangzhe Road Transportation. However, Yang Zhiyuan's rank was not low, so it was difficult for them to arrest him directly, and they could only look for him secretly.

Unfortunately, the people they sent out did not find it, and Lao Jia did not dare to ask for it directly, so he has not received the Night Banquet Map to this day.

Gu Qianfan took a sip of tea and was about to speak when suddenly his expression froze and his eyes were fixed on the table by the river.

Seeing that Gu Qianfan did not reply, Lao Jia whispered, "Command, command."

Gu Qianfan raised his hand: "Don't make a noise, I saw someone I know."

After learning that he had traveled to the world of Menghualu, Zhou Chen added three points to each of the remaining eighteen attributes, using up twelve points, leaving six points.

Now his four dimensions are already quite high, and he has also mastered the Pure Yang Technique. Although it cannot be compared with the world of Langya Bang, it is already top-notch in this world.

As a result, his five senses are now extremely sharp, and he can immediately sense if someone looks at him closely for a few breaths.

Noticing someone was staring at him, Zhou Chen turned his head, picked up the teacup, gestured slightly to Gu Qianfan who was not far away, and then took a sip.

When Gu Qianfan saw Zhou Chen's appearance clearly, he was immediately surprised, but then he remained calm, picked up the wine glass, toasted Zhou Chen, and then looked away.

"Why is he here? Is he here for the Night Banquet as well? That shouldn't be the case."

Of course Gu Qianfan knew Zhou Chen. They were from the same batch of Jinshi. After Zhou Chen became famous, he also heard of him. Even though he had not met him many times, he had a deep impression of him and recognized him immediately after meeting him.

But what puzzled him was why Zhou Chen appeared in Qiantang. Although he was very suspicious, he felt that Zhou Chen should not have come for the Night Banquet Picture.

"Commander, what did you say? Does the commander know that person?"

Old Jia naturally noticed the interaction between Gu Qianfan and Zhou Chen, which made him very curious, because he knew that this was Gu Qianfan's first time in Qiantang, so how could he have acquaintances?

"Do you want me to investigate?"

Gu Qianfan glared at him and scolded: "Are you looking for death? Go investigate him. Even I can't afford to offend him, and you still want to offend him?"

"hiss."

Old Jia took a breath of cold air. In his eyes, Gu Qianfan was already a remarkable figure. He certainly couldn't afford to offend someone who couldn't even afford to offend Gu Qianfan.

Gu Qianfan couldn't figure out Zhou Chen's purpose of coming to Qiantang, but he became alert.

"Old Jia, there is no time to lose. We must get the Night Banquet Picture from Yang Zhiyuan as soon as possible, otherwise something might go wrong."

"Then should we ask for it by force?"

"us……"

Gu Qianfan was just about to speak when there was a sudden commotion outside. Then he saw a group of bandits armed with sharp blades rushing into the teahouse, followed by a group of government officials.

Seeing that they had no way to retreat, the bandits who were being chased by the yamen runners immediately raised the sharp knives in their hands, pointed them at the customers in the teahouse, and put the blades on their necks.

Because Zhou Chen and Qin Yi were closer to the inside, no bandits approached them, but Qin Yi still stood up immediately and blocked Zhou Chen. He glanced at the bandits vigilantly and put his hands in his clothes, ready to draw his weapon at any time.

But because there was no Zhou Chen's order, he did not take action immediately.

Gu Qianfan and the other man over there were also held hostage by sharp blades. After receiving Gu Qianfan's signal, Lao Jia did not act rashly.

The one who suffered the most was Zhao Pan'er. The moment before, she was serving tea to the guests, and at this moment, she was held hostage by the bandits, with a knife against her neck. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she dared not move.

The bailiffs also rushed in and shouted at the bandits, asking them to surrender and release the hostages.

But the bandits would never listen to them. They threatened and suppressed them with hostages. As a result, the yamen runners actually put down their weapons and left the teahouse. They were really obedient.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, especially when he heard the bandits negotiating with the yamen runners and asking for five fast horses. It gave him the illusion that he was watching a modern confrontation between police and bandits.

Zhao Pan'er's heart was also pounding. In order to save her own life, she used money to lure the bandit. The bandit was fooled and followed her to get the money.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly shouted: "Sanniang, copper basin."

The next moment, a copper basin flew out from the kitchen and hit one of the bandits on the head. With a clang, the man was knocked to the ground.

In an instant, the war began. Zhao Pan'er took action at the same time, attracting all the bandits. The guests took the opportunity to flee, except for Zhou Chen's table and Gu Qianfan's table.

Zhou Chen stopped reading and looked at the chaotic tea shop with interest. Zhao Paner, who was fighting, had a unique charm.

Originally, he was planning to appreciate it for a while longer, but in order to avoid the attack of the bandits, Zhao Paner ran to Zhou Chen's table in a panic, and in order to avoid the blade, she lost her balance and staggered and fell onto the table.

Zhou Chen was quick-witted and stood up, stretched out his hand, grabbed Zhao Pan'er, and pulled her towards him. He also took advantage of the situation to hold Zhao Pan'er's waist.

"Qin Yi, take action."

Qin Yi, who received the order, took action without hesitation and kicked the bandit who attacked Zhao Pan'er away. Then he killed the remaining bandits like a tiger out of a cage.

Qin Yi is the captain of Zhou Chen's personal guards and the one with the highest martial arts value besides Zhou Chen. The five bandits, even if they are holding sharp blades, are still no match for Qin Yi, not to mention that he has the help of the extremely powerful Sun Sanniang.

In just a dozen or so breaths, all five bandits were knocked down.

The bailiffs rushed into the tea shop and arrested all five salt smugglers. Peace returned to the tea shop.

Zhao Pan'er looked at the scene in amazement. It was the first time that Qin Yi came to Zhao's Tea Shop with Zhou Chen, so she didn't know that Qin Yi's martial arts were so high. Seeing it at this moment, she was really surprised.

Then she felt something was wrong. She looked down and found that Zhou Chen's hand was on her waist, and she was leaning in Zhou Chen's arms. This made her tremble all over, and she quickly moved away from Zhou Chen.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for what I just did."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake. But a lot of things have been destroyed here. It seems that there is some work to be done."

Zhao Pan'er said casually: "They are just some personal belongings. Let them be damaged. As long as the person is fine, that's fine."

Qin Yi dealt with the bandits and saw Zhou Chen talking to Zhao Paner, but he did not approach.

He had heard Zhou Huai say more than once that their Marquis had a special eye for Madam Zhao from the tea shop. From Zhou Chen's move just now, it could be seen that Zhou Huai was indeed right.

At this moment, the leader suddenly walked towards Qin Yi and asked with a vigilant look: "You look like a martial artist. Where are you from? Tell me your name."

Qin Yi didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he looked at Gu Qianfan and gestured to him.

Gu Qianfan understood what he meant and told Lao Jia, "Go and deal with the bailiffs."

Old Jia walked towards the bailiff without hesitation and dragged him outside the teahouse to talk.

Gu Qianfan walked towards Zhou Chen and bowed without saying a word.
