Chapter 1329: Martial Arts Competition, Qinglong Temple, Ignore

This time, Zhou Chen prepared a birthday gift for Xi Shiyi. It was not very grand. It was some precious books. These were the books he had obtained from his battles in various places.

After coming back for such a long time, he had sorted out these books and was waiting to give them to Xi Shiyi on her birthday.

When Xi Shiyi heard what Zhou Chen said about the birthday gift, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.

In fact, no matter what Zhou Chen gave her, she would feel happy, but Zhou Chen gave her books, which made her even happier because the master remembered what she liked.

"Thank you, master."

Zhou Chen just smiled at him and said softly: "I know you must be very lonely when you are alone in the palace. It is difficult for me to take care of you in this regard."

Xi Shiyi shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter. Master takes the world as his responsibility, defends the country and the people. The disciple can't help the master, but he doesn't want to drag the master down."

Zhou Chen whispered: "But such days will not last too long."

"What?"

Xi Shiyi didn't hear clearly and looked at Zhou Chen in confusion.

"Nothing."

There was silence in the tent for a while, and after a while, Shiyi couldn't help but speak again.

"Master."

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I heard from my senior sister that you have spent a lot of time in the six towns to quell the rebellion in the past two years. Where is the six towns?" Shiyi asked Zhou Chen with a sharp look.

"Six towns, six towns are in the north, north of Zhongzhou, northeast of Xizhou."

"Oh."

Zhou Chen smiled and touched her head, saying: "Don't think too much, you can sleep in my tent tonight."

"No."

Shiyi waved her hands in panic.

"It doesn't matter, my tent is the best here, you can sleep peacefully, I will meditate and practice on the side, call me if there is anything."

"I..."

Shiyi saw Zhou Chen walked to the side and started meditating, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to lie down on the bed to rest, because Zhou Chen was still in the room, she couldn't calm down, and her mind was always full of random thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, she finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and slowly fell asleep.

Hearing that Shiyi's breathing was steady, Zhou Chen, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes.

He slowly got up, stood there and watched for a while, and then walked out of the tent.

He asked someone to call Hong Xiaoyu over, and then asked Hong Xiaoyu to accompany Shiyi in the tent, and he walked to the place where he usually meditated and practiced.

Not long after Hong Xiaoyu entered the tent, Shiyi woke up from her sleep. She didn't see the familiar master, which made her a little disappointed, but she saw the senior sister, and happily chatted with Hong Xiaoyu again, and asked about the master's past.

A night passed quickly, the sun rose in the east, Zhou Chen slowly finished his practice and exhaled.

It has been more than two years since he trained his internal strength. The quality of his internal strength is good, but the quantity is really too small.

Now his talent is excellent, but the amount of internal strength he has trained in the past two years is not as good as the amount in the Lotus Tower world in three months.

Although he has only experienced a few low-level martial arts worlds so far, and the Lotus Tower is almost a medium-level martial arts world, he has really discovered that the gap between the ordinary world and the martial arts world is particularly large, at least in terms of martial arts training.

Since he has the internal strength mental method, he has experienced many modern urban worlds and ancient costume worlds, but he has lived in the modern urban world for many years and has not trained his internal strength. It is also difficult to train internal strength in the ordinary ancient world. Even if he has trained his internal strength, it is far inferior to the low-level martial arts world, let alone the world with higher martial arts value.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Shi Yi came over after hearing the inquiry, like a follower, closely following Zhou Chen.

When they were visiting the military camp, Feng Qiao suddenly ran over and reported to Zhou Chen, insisting that Zhou Chen agree to let her compete with Xiao Yan.

Zhou Chen also found it interesting, so he followed him.

Xiao Yan had been taken to the military camp since the Galan Temple. Later, when Zhou Chen and his friends returned to the palace, they took him back to the palace for custody. Now he was taken back to the military camp again.

Xiao Yan was very self-aware and knew that he was a prisoner, so he didn't care about being driven around at all. He would go wherever he was told to go.

During this period, he and Zhou Chen had drunk wine and talked many times. In addition, he was most familiar with Feng Qiao in the Nanchen King's Army.

Zhou Chen followed Feng Qiao to the place where Xiao Yan was imprisoned. After a few words, Xiao Yan agreed to fight with Feng Qiao.

The group came to the martial arts arena of the military camp. Xiao Yan and Feng Qiao walked onto the arena. Feng Qiao wanted to defeat Xiao Yan, so she took the lead in attacking, and her offensive was extremely fierce.

In front of the ring, Zhou Chen looked calmly, while Shiyi looked nervous, worried about her fourth senior sister. Zhou Tianxing and Xie Yun also came to ask questions.

The fight between the two was very beautiful. It seemed that Feng Qiao was always attacking, but in fact, Xiao Yan was always calm and relaxed, and easily resolved Feng Qiao's attack.

In less than half an incense stick of time, Xiao Yan seized a flaw of Feng Qiao, suddenly attacked, and quickly subdued Feng Qiao.

Feng Qiao was very dissatisfied and wanted to fight again, but Zhou Chen spoke.

"Feng Qiao, people in Nanchen Palace must be able to afford to lose."

Feng Qiao turned her head to look at her master, gritted her teeth, and had to give up the idea of ​​continuing. She glared at Xiao Yan very unhappy, but still bowed her hands and admitted defeat.

"I lost."

I thought this would be the end, but who knew that Xiao Yan did not come down from the ring, but instead looked at Zhou Chen.

"Your Highness, can you and I learn from each other?"

The last time he saw Zhou Chen take action at Jialan Temple, he always remembered that although he became a monk, he could not be regarded as a real monk, and he still had the past style in his heart.

Zhou Chen asked: "Do you want to compete with me?"

Xiao Yan said: "In the Huai River, your and my armies faced each other across the water, and we almost had a battle. Can your Highness remember that?"

"of course I remember."

"At that time, I was still fighting for Emperor Nan Xiao. What a joke."

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "We had different positions at the beginning, but it is different now. But since you want to learn from each other, then I will do what you want."

With that said, he walked onto the ring.

One person wore coarse cloth monk robes, while the other wore splendid embroidered robes, forming a sharp contrast. Unlike Zhou Chen's relaxed look, Xiao Yan's face was full of seriousness and solemnity.

As for the people under the ring, except for the worried expression on Zhou Shiyi's face, the rest of Zhou Tianxing, Xie Yun and others had calm expressions and no fluctuations. They were obviously full of confidence in Zhou Chen.

During the past two years of fighting and fighting, they had witnessed Zhou Chen's improvement in martial arts. In their eyes, their master was the most invincible warrior coach in the world.

When fighting Xiao Yan, Zhou Chen naturally didn't need to use his internal strength, he just fought with his bare hands.

The two of them were going back and forth, fighting each other with fists and kicks, and the fight was fierce in the ring.

In front of the ring, Nao Shiyi looked nervous. Xie Yun said gently: "Eleven, don't worry, the master is invincible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen's moves on the ring suddenly changed. He opened and closed, using his strong strength to force Xiao Yan to retreat. After Xiao Yan retreated to the edge of the ring, Zhou Chen retreated.

Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and praised sincerely: "The poor monk lost, Your Highness is very skilled."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I'm just relying on my strength. If it's really compared to fists and kicks, I'm afraid I'll be at a disadvantage."

"Your Highness is too modest."

How big the gap between the two is, Xiao Yan himself knows very well. He has just tried his best, but Zhou Chen is able to do it with ease and calmly. It is obvious that the two of them are not on the same level, and Zhou Chen has enough room for him. Lost face.

The two of them walked off the ring, and Zhou Tianxing suddenly told Zhou Chen: "Master, I found a good place..."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen said, "Okay, let's go take a look and prepare our horses."

After saying that, he looked at Shi Yi and asked: "Eleven, did Bailong bring it?"

"Brought it."

"Then you can come with us."

"Yes, Master."

After taking two steps, Zhou Chen suddenly stopped again and saw that Xiao Yan was going back to the place where he was being held.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, we have found a good place. Would you like to come with us?"

Xiao Yan was startled for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, are you not afraid that I will escape?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Can you do it?"

"Won't."

"That's it, Tian Xing, bring him a horse and set off."

Zhou Chen took several of his apprentices, plus Xiao Yan and Ziao Feng, and they quickly left the military camp.

Led by Zhou Tianxing, the group soon arrived at a yard that had been abandoned for a long time.

At first glance, you can tell that this place has been abandoned for a long time, and many buildings have collapsed. However, although the location is remote, it is very large and secluded. If it is properly tidied up and repaired, there is absolutely no problem in turning it into a temple.

Walking behind others, Zhou Chen asked Shiyi: "Have you decided on the name of the temple I asked you to think of?"

Jian Shiyi replied: "Think about it, Qinglong Temple."

"Okay, then let's call it Qinglong Temple."

Seeing that Zhou Chen had made up his mind without saying anything, Ji Shiyi looked slightly shocked: "Master, don't you even ask me why I chose this name?"

"Then are you willing to tell me?"

Yang Shiyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "My mother-in-law said that my father saw through the world of mortals and left me and her to become monks. She also said that the place where he practiced was called Qinglong Temple. Over the years, I have always asked General Yang and me to My brother helped me keep an eye out, but I never found a temple called Qinglong Temple.”

Zhou Chen was silent. He understood that Shi Yi also knew that her father was no longer alive. Sanniang said this just to give her hope.

The group of people walked around here, and Hong Xiaoyu and the others began to discuss how to build Qinglong Temple.

Zhou Chen and Xiao Yan walked aside, and Xiao Yan asked: "Your Highness really wants to build a temple, Qinglong Temple?"

Zhou Chen said: "Of course, what do you think of this place?"

"It's very good. If it can be built, it will be a good place. Your Highness, if Qinglong Temple is really built, can you let me practice here?"

"Of course you can if you don't mind."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Actually, I'm a little surprised. Even if you don't want to be the second prince of Nanxiao, there's no need to be a monk. I don't think you look like you've seen through the world of mortals."

Xiao Yan laughed at himself: "Seeing through the world of mortals? How can I have such awareness? In fact, I don't know what to do myself. I hope I, the Buddha, can calm me down."

You can tell from his tone that he is actually a bit avoiding himself.

"You and I are very close. If possible, I really hope you can join my Nanchen King's Army."

Xiao Yan looked at Zhou Chen blankly for a moment, then saluted and said: "It is an honor for me to be valued by His Highness."

After Zhou Chen and others strolled around here, they rode back again.

Although Jian Shiyi has never been on the battlefield, he has Zhou Chen's guidance, so his equestrian skills are not bad and he can keep up with everyone.

As soon as he returned to the military camp, military advisor Xie Chong came over to report that King Guangling was already waiting in his camp with four guards.

When Hong Xiaoyu and others heard this, they immediately became angry and shouted: "If we want to enter the coach's tent, we must have the master's nod. If he dares to bring guards, I will go in and drive him out."

Zhou Chen grabbed Hong Xiaoyu. Hong Xiaoyu was truly loyal to him and would not allow anyone to slight him.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, come in with me first."

With that said, he walked into the big tent first, and the others immediately followed, with only the right time and a strange expression.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw King Guangling and others standing in front of the sand table and watching. Liu Zihang turned around when he heard the sound.

"Uncle Emperor."

Zhou Chen nodded coldly. He had no time to talk nonsense with Liu Zixing and asked directly: "King Guangling brought so many people to come to me. It seems that there is something very important?"

Liu Zixing's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Zhou Chen didn't even say a polite word, his attitude was cold, and he got straight to the point.

"I would like to invite my uncle to interrogate Prince Nan Xiao together."

Zhou Chen naturally knew that Liu Zixing wanted to use his hand to drive away the four guards who were watching, but this was also in line with his plan.

"Does King Guangling want to discuss business here?"

While speaking, he glanced at the chamberlain and four guards behind Liu Zixing.

Zhou Tianxing, who had been holding back for a long time, walked to the side very discerningly, picked up the sword in the tent, unsheathed it in an instant, glared at King Guangling and others, and shouted.

"All officers and soldiers of King Nanchen's tent must report in advance before they can enter. Anyone who breaks into the commander's tent without permission will be shot without mercy."

The eunuchs and four guards behind Liu Zixing all looked tense. If Zhou Chen really ordered them to be killed, they would not even have a chance to resist.

Liu Zixing took advantage of the situation to apologize to Zhou Chen.

"My nephew is rude."

Then he ordered the guards behind him: "Get out quickly."

Faced with this scene, the four guards did not dare to hesitate and immediately went out in despair. Hong Xiaoyu led others out to stare at them.

Liu Zixing showed a successful smile, but when Zhou Chen saw the smile on his face, he snorted in his heart and looked past him to look at the chamberlain Meng Luan behind him.

Zhou Tianxing naturally understood what his master meant, and looked at Meng Luan with his eyes like blades.

Meng Luan was just a chamberlain, but he couldn't bear the gazes of Zhou Chen and Zhou Tianxing, and his body immediately began to tremble.

"Your Highness."

The smile on Liu Zixing's face disappeared instantly, but he was also a wealthy man.

"Uncle Emperor, Meng Luan is my attendant, he can be trusted."

But Zhou Chen didn't speak, which made his face look a little ugly, but he still held back his dissatisfaction and turned to Meng Luan and ordered: "You also go out and wait."

Meng Luan did not dare to hesitate, so he could only agree, and then left the tent in small steps.

After everyone had finished leaving, Zhou Chen walked to the coach's seat and sat down, then pointed at Xiao Yan who came in with them.

"He is the second prince of Nan Xiao you want to meet. Xiao Yan, you can start the interrogation however you want."

Liu Zixing looked at Xiao Yan, who was dressed in monk robes and had a bright head, in astonishment, full of doubts.

Didn't it mean that Xiao Yan was being detained and supervised? Why did he follow him to the big tent, and he seemed to be very familiar with Zhou Chen and others.

Is he really a prisoner?
