In a pavilion twenty miles outside Kyoto, Zhou Chen was sitting leisurely against a pillar, teasing the bird in the palm of his right hand, with a happy and interesting smile on his face.
Although he has seen a lot, he has never seen this little bird before. It looks like a sparrow, but different and colorful, like a new species.
To be precise, there are many animals and plants in this world that he has never seen before.
He speculated that it might be the impact of nuclear radiation after the nuclear war that caused great changes in the world, including changes in animals, plants, and birds.
He had just picked up this little bird. It must have been just born and it couldn't fly yet.
Suddenly, a team slowly drove towards this side. Zhou Chen held up the bird in his hand and saw that the flightless bird slowly floated into the air, floating higher and higher, and finally fell into the sky not far away.
In a bird's nest on a big tree.
After doing this, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and then turned to look at the group of people.
When the team came to the pavilion, they stopped, and out of the carriage stepped out a charming, arrogant and noble woman, who was none other than Li Yunrui, the eldest princess who had been expelled from Kyoto.
"Mr. Zhen Guo is indeed trustworthy. I thought you wouldn't take me, a down-and-out person who was driven out of Kyoto, in your eyes."
Li Yunrui walked to Zhou Chen's side, sat down slowly, smiled sweetly, and looked at Zhou Chen charmingly.
Zhou Chen said calmly: "It doesn't make any difference to me whether you are the powerful eldest princess of Kyoto or a down-and-out person who was kicked out of Kyoto. But you asked me to meet you, and you must be unwilling to be so depressed."
Leave Kyoto."
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I am indeed not willing to accept it. I don't look down on a mere Fan Xian, but I really can't understand why Chen Pingping wants to help Fan Xian so much. And His Majesty, he
Why do you also favor Fan Xian?"
Li Yunrui also knew very well that the reason why she was kicked out of Kyoto was not because of what Fan Xian did, but because she was plotted by Chen Pingping, said the wrong thing, and touched Emperor Qing's evil side, which led to her current ending.
She was very unwilling. After so many years, she had planned for so long, but in the end everything was crushed by Chen Pingping. This frustration made her extremely angry.
"Why are you favoring Fan Xian? No, to be precise, your Majesty is not partial to Fan Xian, but he cares too much about his own power. He regards the Inspection Institute as his private knife, and no one is allowed to touch it.
You just violated a taboo; in fact, even if you can win over Chen Pingping, you can't even hope to control the inspection institute."
Li Yunrui's eyes were cold. Of course she understood what Zhou Chen meant, but she was still unwilling to give in.
"I want to ask you to help me kill Chen Pingping. No matter what the price, I am willing to bear it."
"Kill Chen Pingping?"
Zhou Chen looked surprised. This woman was indeed crazy and couldn't defeat Chen Pingping, so he thought of the simplest and most effective way to kill Chen Pingping.
But she obviously also understands that no one can kill Chen Pingping unless the Grand Master takes action.
"Yes, I want to kill Chen Pingping."
Li Yunrui leaned forward and stared at Zhou Chen with his beautiful eyes: "No matter what the price, you say, as long as I have it, I can give it to you, including myself."
Zhou Chen also slowly moved forward, staring at Li Yunrui's beautiful face.
Li Yunrui is crazy, but she is indeed extremely beautiful. The reputation of being the most beautiful woman in the Qing Kingdom is not in vain. It's just that this woman's skin is very good, but she is crazy and dark on the inside.
"You are indeed extremely beautiful. Men will have the desire to conquer you when they see you. But unfortunately, I have met women who are more beautiful than you, so your trick is of no use to me."
"Then what do you want?"
Zhou Chen leaned against the pillar again and spoke bluntly: "I have a pretty good relationship with Chen Pingping, and he still owes me a favor, so I won't help you kill Chen Pingping. Don't tell me, I won't kill Fan Xian either.
Wouldn't the world be too boring without Fan Xian?"
Li Yunrui frowned and asked in a puzzled tone: "Everyone has desires. I think I have a good eye for people, but I still can't figure it out. What are your desires? What do you want? You
It's really strange for people. It's the age when you have made great achievements, but you seem to pay no attention to anything and have no pursuit. If a person has no pursuit in his life, what's the point of living?"
Zhou Chen said: "That's because you are wrong. Who said I have no pursuit? If you say who is the most greedy person in the world, then I can tell you that this person must be me. What you are greedy for is power, and what I am greedy for is
There are just too many, beauties, wine, power, money, strength, freedom... What I pursue is doing whatever I want, and what I pursue is an unlimited future..."
Speaking of this, his eyes became extremely bright, as if he had seen something beautiful, and his whole person was full of energy.
Li Yunrui stared blankly at Zhou Chen in front of her. From Zhou Chen's eyes full of ambition, she was sure that Zhou Chen was telling the truth.
If you think about it more carefully, Zhou Chen is now a great master. With his power, even Emperor Qing cannot restrict his freedom. He has no shortage of beauties, wine, power and money.
And looking at what he did, it seemed that he really did whatever he wanted. He even went to the palace whenever he wanted. Even the emperor didn't pay attention to him. He really did whatever he wanted.
Does this really seem to be the case?
Then why did she think that Zhou Chen didn't pay attention to anything and didn't pursue anything?
"Then what is most important to you?"
Zhou Chen answered without any hesitation: "Live and keep living."
For him, with the system, as long as he can continue to live, he can have a lot, so surviving is the most important thing.
This sentence made Li Yunrui silent, because she found that there seemed to be nothing she could do to impress Zhou Chen. Those invincible moves in the past simply didn't work with Zhou Chen.
Looking at the silent Li Yunrui, Zhou Chen suddenly showed a meaningful expression.
"Actually, I don't understand. You should have discovered that everything you have done, when facing Emperor Qing, just one word from him will turn everything into nothing. But how did you do it and take advantage of it?
The prince and the second prince were married, but their situation is actually the same as yours. Whether they are the prince or not, or even whether they live or die, is all a matter of Emperor Qing's word."
"What do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that if you want to get rid of such a situation, compromise and calculation are useless. Only by overturning the chessboard, rebuilding the world, and becoming a chess player can you have a chance to win. Otherwise, you will always be the chessboard.
Go up, a chess piece controlled by Emperor Qing."
Li Yunrui's eyes flashed and he burst into laughter.
"As expected of you, you have no respect for him at all. You actually gave me such an idea. If you ask me, you must be the bravest person in the world."
Although she thought Zhou Chen's words were crazy, it was undeniable that she was really moved.
"If you don't dare to think about it, what's the difference between it and trash?"
"Princess, where is the news I want?"
Li Yunrui handed a note to Zhou Chen. After reading it, Zhou Chen stood up directly.
"gone."
??????????.??????
"Next time we meet, I promise, it will be in Kyoto."
Hearing Li Yunrui's words, Zhou Chen chuckled and did not reply. He rode on his dark horse Tornado and left quickly.
The news he wanted from Zhou Chen was none other than the great master Ye Liuyun.
He had already fought two of the four great masters. Emperor Qing was in the palace and could not escape, so when he went to Northern Qi this time, he happened to find Ye Liuyun and fight this one.
However, Ye Liuyun was in Jiangnan at this time, and he needed to take a detour to Jiangnan. His trip to Northern Qi would definitely be delayed, but fortunately he had made preparations in advance.
Speaking of which, Ye Liuyun was the most aggrieved among the four great masters in Qingyu years.
Although he has become the most powerful grandmaster in the world, he still has to be used and manipulated by Emperor Qing. He is far less comfortable than the other three grandmasters. Perhaps this is why he said that he has humanity, while the other three grandmasters have lost the maximum of humanity.
reason.
One Ye family can contain the Grand Master, which will never happen to the other three Grand Masters.
Jiangnan is the most prosperous area in Qingguo, and Kyoto may be the political center of Qingguo, but except for Kyoto City, the rest of the places are not as developed as Jiangnan.
The three most profitable areas in Qing's domestic treasury are located in Jiangnan. The population, economy, etc. of Jiangnan are also among the best in Qing.
Zhou Chen has been in this world for several years, and this is the first time he has set foot in Jiangnan.
Compared with most places he has traveled, Jiangnan is indeed a relatively prosperous area, but this level of prosperity is nothing to Zhou Chen. Moreover, he did not come to Jiangnan for fun, his biggest purpose was to
Ye Liuyun.
With the news about Li Yunrui and Zhou Chen's deliberate search, it is not that difficult to find Ye Liuyun.
Hangzhou!
Although this is a world after a nuclear war, where mountains and seas have changed, and everything has been turned upside down, there are still many places that have not changed.
For example, many place names have been inherited, such as Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River.
It was in Hangzhou that Zhou Chen found Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun was one of those people who traveled all over the world. It was probably because of his character of not fighting or fighting, and just going with the flow that Emperor Qing took advantage of his weaknesses.
The energy induction between the great masters is very strong. Although Zhou Chen has not seen Ye Liuyun yet, he has already discovered Ye Liuyun's existence a few miles away.
The Grand Master's five senses are extremely strong, and Zhou Chen is even more outstanding in this aspect. If he were an ordinary person, he might not be able to tell the difference clearly, but Ye Liuyun is not an ordinary person, he is a Grand Master, and his true energy and energy are not
The cover-up was too obvious, so after getting close, he could quickly spot Ye Liuyun.
He also did not hide himself. When he discovered Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun also discovered him.
The two met on the lake. Zhou Chen was on a large sightseeing boat, while Ye Liuyun was driving a small boat alone.
The moment they met, Zhou Chen, amidst the exclamations of the tourists on the big boat, soared into the sky, like a roc soaring into the sky, and headed straight for Ye Liuyun's boat.
Although the two met for the first time, they seemed to have a deep tacit understanding at this moment. They didn't even need to say a word, they just took action.
Zhou Chen descended from the sky, looked down from a high position, and took a palm shot. Ye Liuyun stepped on the boat, raised his head to face the void, and took a palm shot in the air.
"boom!"
The terrifying collision of infuriating energy caused an astonishing roar. The boat under Ye Liuyun's feet was fine, but many water columns suddenly appeared on the surrounding lake. The water columns soared into the sky several feet high, shrouding the figures of Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun.
In the water column.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the two of them fought, the calm lake surface could no longer be calm. It was like an earth dragon turning over, and the lake surface was turbulent.
There were originally many ships on the lake, but after such a huge change, all the ships rushed to leave, especially those that were closer, and were pushed back by invisible forces. Soon
It's far away from the combat range.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun had already exchanged dozens of moves on the boat. Zhou Chen did not use a sword, but simply fought with Ye Liuyun in close combat.
Ye Liuyun is second only to Ku He among the five great masters. He is actually quite old, but he looks much younger than his real age. His hair is still black, but his beard has a little silvery white. His appearance and clothing are also very ordinary. If you don’t know him
With his identity, I am afraid that he will really be regarded as an ordinary old man.
The battle between the two great masters made this lake become a forbidden area during this period, and no ships dared to enter the water anymore.
This grand master battle quickly lasted for half an hour. During this period, the lake surface was not calm for a moment. There were countless fish in the lake that died due to the battle between the two people, and the lake surface was even more floating.
There were many fish carcasses.
Fortunately, this is on the water. If it were on land, with the destructive power of the two of them, it is estimated that they would not be able to destroy it within a few miles.
Because it was just a sparring match, the fight took a long time. Many people came around the lake, including many warriors, who wanted to watch this earth-shattering battle.
It's just that the aftermath of the Grand Master's battle was too terrifying, and no one dared to get too close, so they could only wait and watch from a distance, unable to see the specific situation clearly.
Grand masters can decide the outcome with one move, and they can also last for a long time, because their amount of infuriating energy is very terrifying, which is completely different from the infuriating energy of ordinary warriors.
In this violent collision, it was Ye Liuyun who finally couldn't bear it any longer and used his own unique skill, Liuyun Sanshou.
A martial art that is most suitable for oneself can greatly improve a warrior's combat effectiveness. Ye Liuyun who used Liuyun Sanshou and Ye Liuyun who did not use Liuyun Sanshou seemed to be two people.
Naturally, Zhou Chen was not to be outdone. A meteor flew from the shore and fell into Zhou Chen's hand. It was his sword.
The sword technique he is best at is the Xiangyi Taijian. He has also created sword techniques on his own, but in the end he felt dissatisfied. This Xiangyi Taijian is the most convenient to use and has the most exquisite moves.
Now that he has become a grand master, he has a deeper understanding of this sword technique. When this sword technique is used in his hands, its power increases dramatically.
Xiangyi Taijian dueled with Liuyun Sanshou. The vibrations on the lake became even greater, and the sounds of the battle became even more shocking. Those watching the battle by the lake were all stunned. They couldn't believe that human power could be so terrifying.
.
After the two sides used their special skills, the movement became louder, but the battle became simpler. After only a few dozen moves, they stopped with a tacit understanding.
"Mr. Ye's Liuyun Sanshou is truly worthy of its reputation."
On the third floor of a restaurant by the lake, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun were drinking together at the same table. Zhou Chen admired them sincerely.
Ye Liuyun drank a glass of wine and laughed: "Compared with your swordsmanship, my Liuyun Sanshou is nothing. At a young age, I created my own skills and became a great master. I am ashamed to be inferior to the world's martial arts master."
The most talented person, I deserve it, little friend."
