Chapter 1443 Zhou Chen’s Special True Energy: Dead Trees Come Back to Life
Zhou Chen had never been with Fan Xian, so he couldn't say whether he liked him or not, but Fan Xian in the TV series was a protagonist with a relatively positive outlook.
Seeing Fan Xian staring at him, he was full of curiosity, unlike other people who were afraid and didn't dare to look him in the face.
"Master Fan has been staring at me, do you have anything to ask?"
Fan Xian replied very calmly: "I just heard about the Duke of Zhenguo yesterday, and I can see him today. I can't help but sigh at the wonder of fate, and it's the first time I see a living Grandmaster, so I'm very curious."
Li Hongcheng, who was standing aside, saw Fan Xian talking like this, and his eyes shrank. He found that Fan Xian was really different from other people. The Duke of Zhenguo was a ruthless person, and he didn't know how to be careful when he spoke.
Zhou Chen laughed, but he didn't care. He had lived in modern society for a longer time, and Fan Xian's tone seemed normal to him.
However, it can also be seen from this that although Fan Xian has "traveled" through this world for more than ten years, his mentality has never changed.
If it was in Danzhou before, it would be nothing, but this is Kyoto. If it keeps going like this, sooner or later, it will be a failure.
"The Grandmaster is no different. He also has a mouth, a nose, and a pair of eyes. If there is any difference, it may be that he is a little bit better at fighting."
Fan Xian's mouth twitched, and the dilapidated mansion appeared in his mind involuntarily. He destroyed so many buildings with one palm. Is this called a little bit better at fighting?
Fan Xian and Li Hongcheng did not stay here for long. Si Lili toasted them with a glass of wine, and then they toasted Zhou Chen with a glass of wine and left on their own initiative.
After leaving the flower boat, Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh: "This Zhenguogong seems to be quite easy to talk to. Why were you so nervous just now?"
Li Hongcheng said unhappily: "That's because you haven't seen this man get angry. At the beginning..."
Just when he was about to speak, he shut up again. It would be bad if he talked behind his back.
Fan Xian didn't know what Li Hongcheng was thinking, but he felt that this great master was not difficult to get along with, at least much easier to get along with than the second prince he met today.
"Let's go, Brother Fan, your Narcissus girl must be waiting anxiously."
Fan Xian then remembered that he still had business to do.
In the painting boat, Si Lili said with a smile: "This Mr. Fan is really a bit different, he doesn't look like he came from a small place."
As the capital of Qing Kingdom, those young masters who came from small places would be more or less timid when they came to Kyoto, but Fan Xian didn't see this at all. Even when he faced Zhou Chen, he was neither respectful nor afraid, just like facing an ordinary person.
"Maybe, I haven't adapted yet."
Thinking that Fan Xian had been here for a long time, he inevitably slowly integrated into this world, and thus many changes occurred, Zhou Chen also sighed slightly.
What people fear most is subtle influence, and he is the same.
When I first traveled to the ancient film and television world, I was not used to it, but slowly, over time, I got used to everything, even killing people became a habit.
Si Lili saw Zhou Chen sighing and looked puzzled. He was talking about Fan Xian, so why did Zhou Chen's mood change?
However, Zhou Chen recovered quickly and turned to Si Lili and asked, "What else did you see from Fan Xian just now?"
"What else did you see?"
Si Lili thought about it and hesitated, "He gave me the feeling that he was in a brothel for the first time, and he was not as eager as ordinary playboys."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Good vision, this kid, he didn't come here to find a girl today, wait, there will be a good show tomorrow."
Si Lili asked curiously, but he didn't explain, knowing that the plot is sometimes very cool, with a feeling of God's perspective.
Fan Xian was indeed not here to be a prostitute. He quickly knocked out Miss Qin Shuixian, and then quietly followed after Guo Baokun left.
He stopped Teng Zijing from killing Guo Baokun, and beat Guo Baokun severely instead. After arranging everything, he quietly returned to Zuixianju, pretending to have slept all night, and left Zuixianju in the morning.
Everything unfolded according to the normal development of the plot. Guo Baokun was beaten half-crippled by Fan Xian. He went to Kyoto Prefecture to report the case early the next morning, and then Kyoto Prefecture went to find Fan Xian.
After a battle of wits and courage, Fan Xian and Guo Baokun, who was half-crippled and wrapped like a mummy, came to Kyoto Prefecture, and the two sides started a confrontation between the defendant and the plaintiff.
Fan Xian was good at speaking, and He Zongwei was no match for him. Finally, the Kyoto prefect began to ask Fan Xian about his whereabouts last night. Fan Xian took the initiative to say that he went to drink wine, and then he talked about the issue of witnesses.
Fan Xian replied confidently: "Prince Li Hongcheng of Jing, Si Lili and Qin Shuixian of Zuixianju, and Duke Zhou Chen of Zhenguo can all testify."
When this was said, everyone in the room was shocked, and Mei Zhili, the prefect of Jingdu, was even more frightened.
The two girls of Zuixianju were nothing, but Prince Li Hongcheng of Jing and Duke Zhou Chen of Zhenguo were not ordinary people, and he couldn't afford to offend either of them.
He Zongwei was also shocked, but he was now Guo Baokun's lawyer, and everything had to be considered for Guo Baokun, so he saluted Mei Zhili directly.
"Sir, please call the witnesses."
Mei Zhili asked helplessly: "Why are Prince Li Hongcheng of Jing and Duke Zhenguo involved? How should we call them?"
He Zongwei said loudly: "Sir, this case is extremely cruel, and Minister Guo also attaches great importance to it. I beg you to handle the case carefully."
Mei Zhili was speechless. He added another Minister Guo. He couldn't afford to offend any of these people. What else could he do when he was framed? He could only ask witnesses.
Prince Li Hongcheng of Jingwang, Si Lili and Qin Shuixian of Zuixianju were called in quickly, but the people who went to Zhenguogong Mansion had not returned yet.
Mei Zhili had no choice but to ask these three people first, but the answers of the three people were the same, proving that Fan Xian was indeed in Zuixianju that night. Qin Shuixian, who accompanied him, also confirmed that Fan Xian did not leave last night and had been with her all the time, spending the night together.
With all three witnesses like this, Mei Zhili was about to judge Fan Xian not guilty, but at this time the prince came.
The prince was also very perceptive. He wanted Fan Xian to plead guilty and would not take action against Li Hongcheng. Si Lili had a relationship with Zhou Chen and was not familiar with Fan Xian, so he targeted Qin Shuixian, who accompanied Fan Xian all night, and was ready to torture her, which made Fan Xian feel pity for her.
The second prince followed, and then the crown prince and the second prince had a confrontation. Just as they were fighting, the messenger who went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion came back and broke the tit-for-tat stalemate.
"My lord, I failed to invite the Duke of Zhenguo. Please punish me."
Mei Zhili finally got a breath, stood up hurriedly, and asked, "What did the Duke of Zhenguo say?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo said, say it."
"Why are you hesitating? Just say whatever you want to say."
The messenger gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and replied loudly: "The Duke of Zhenguo replied, 'Get lost', and also, let us invite Miss Si Lili back the same way we invited her here."
As soon as these words came out, the court of Kyoto Prefecture was suddenly silent. Mei Zhili slumped down on the chair, the crown prince had no expression on his face, and the second prince showed a playful look.
Fan Xian was shocked. Is the Duke of Zhenguo so awesome? He didn't even come, but he threatened her. Is there no law in his eyes?
Si Lili, who was standing aside, had a strange look in her eyes. Seeing this situation, she really saw Zhou Chen's majesty. Is this the sense of security of being protected by a man?
Mei Zhili asked the crown prince and the second prince carefully: "Your Highness, Your Highness, since this matter has nothing to do with Miss Si Lili, there is no need to let Miss Si Lili stay, right?"
The second prince said: "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Si Lili. You called her here rudely, why don't you send her back politely."
The crown prince didn't say anything, but waved his hand at Mei Zhili. He wanted to deal with Fan Xian, but he didn't want to confront Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen had spoken, so he must give him face.
So, in Fan Xian's astonished eyes, Si Lili was invited away by the people of Kyoto Prefecture.
He curled his lips and sighed, "Look, this is privilege. It turns out that privilege exists in every era."
The trial continued, but in the end, Emperor Qing issued an order to let the crown prince and the second prince go, and the matter came to an end.
Fan Xian was acquitted on the spot and left the prefecture of Kyoto, and Teng Zijing also turned a disaster into a blessing, recovering from his fake death.
Zhenguogong Mansion!
Zhou Chen didn't even see the person sent by Kyoto Prefecture, and sent him away directly, and then accompanied Sang Wen in the courtyard to read books and drink tea.
"Sir, why did you help Fan Xian?" Sang Wen asked curiously.
"Why do you ask?"
"Although I don't know what happened, I think that Guo Baokun, the son of Minister Guo, was beaten by Fan Xian. You must know it, but you don't expose it. Isn't this helping Fan Xian?"
Zhou Chen gently pinched Sang Wen's nose and smiled, "How smart! Guo Baokun was indeed beaten by Fan Xian, but if Fan Xian hadn't beaten him, he might have lost his life. Fan Xian's behavior saved Guo Baokun's life."
He knew the specific situation. At that time, Teng Zijing was going to kill Guo Baokun. If Fan Xian hadn't stopped him, Guo Baokun's servants would definitely not be able to beat Teng Zijing, and Teng Zijing, who was in despair, would definitely kill Guo Baokun.
So to some extent, Fan Xian's action can be regarded as saving Guo Baokun's life.
Sang Wen didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask much. She knew that Zhou Chen must have his own reasons for doing so.
"Sir, I'll play a song for you."
"Okay."
Sang Wen happily held the pipa, gently plucked the strings, and began to play for Zhou Chen.
Near noon, a servant suddenly came to report that someone had come to visit, claiming to be Fan Xian, asking to see Zhou Chen and express gratitude.
"Fan Xian is here?"
Zhou Chen was also very surprised to hear this, nodded slightly, and asked someone to bring Fan Xian over.
Sang Wen stood up and said, "Sir, I'll go to the kitchen first."
"Okay."
Sun Yi quickly led two people to Zhou Chen's yard. It was Fan Xian who had met yesterday, and Teng Zijing who was with him.
When the two saw Zhou Chen, they both bowed.
"Meet the Duke of Zhenguo."
"No need to be polite, come and sit down."
Zhou Chen pointed to the opposite side, Fan Xian smiled slightly, and sat down opposite Zhou Chen without being polite.
"Thank you, Duke Zhenguo, for your help today."
"I didn't help you."
"Duke Zhenguo didn't expose me, which was equivalent to helping me. With your ability, you must know that I left Zuixianju last night."
Fan Xian is not a fool. Others can see such an obvious thing, so how could Zhou Chen, the great master, not see it? Zhou Chen and Si Lili didn't expose him, which was equivalent to helping him.
Zhou Chen said: "You're just thanking me for this? Also, since you're thanking me, why are you still empty-handed?"
"ah?"
Fan Xian was stunned, and then he realized what he was doing. He suddenly looked embarrassed. Yes, how could he still be empty-handed to thank someone? But he didn't expect this at all, or in other words, he didn't have this concept at all.
Seeing his embarrassment, Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. You came here not just to thank me, right?"
Fan Xian laughed sheepishly.
"Actually, I'm just here to thank you. In addition, because I am a martial arts practitioner myself, I am particularly curious about the Grand Master at the pinnacle of martial arts. I want to see how the Grand Master is different from us martial artists. , please don’t blame me for any offense.”
Teng Zijing, who was standing outside the pavilion, wished he could go over and shut Fan Xian's mouth. He was really speechless. Can you speak like this? You are facing a great master, not a monkey trick, not you. If you want to see it, you can see it.
He really didn't know what Fan Xian was thinking. Sometimes he was very reliable, but sometimes he was quite unreliable.
Zhou Chen just smiled indifferently, and said the same thing. Fan Xian has not fully integrated into this era, whether in words or actions.
"Now that you've seen us, what do you think is different about us?"
Fan Xian said distressedly: "It's precisely because I can't see it that I'm very distressed."
"You probably want to experience the power of the Grand Master. OK, since we are predestined, I will grant your wish."
Zhou Chen said: "The overbearing zhenqi you cultivate is different from the zhenqi secret book I cultivate. I have never seen the overbearing zhenqi, but looking at the zhenqi in your body, I can probably know what kind of zhenqi it is." Qi, it just depends on the movement of your Qi, your cultivation should not be very smooth."
"Yeah."
Fan Xian listened and nodded repeatedly.
"You are absolutely right. I have always encountered problems when I was practicing recently. I don't know whether it is a problem with my practice or a problem with the secret book."
"I can't give you the answer to this. You need to explore slowly by yourself, but I can let you feel my true energy now."
Zhou Chen suddenly gently patted the peach blossom tree in the courtyard. The peach blossom tree suddenly shook violently, and then all the peach blossoms and green leaves fell from the tree, turning into a withered peach blossom tree. , only the bare trunks and branches were left, lifeless.
Under the puzzled looks of Fan Xian and Teng Zijing, Zhou Chen slapped the peach blossom tree again, injecting his true energy into the peach blossom tree.
Then, in the eyes of the two people in disbelief, the withered peach blossom tree actually sprouted again. After a while, the peach blossoms with green leaves reappeared, even more vigorous than before.
"Fuck..."
Fan Xian couldn't help but uttered a curse word, jumped up from the stone bench, rushed to the peach blossom tree, picked up the peach blossoms and leaves that Zhou Chen had just knocked to the ground, and then touched them again Touch this peach blossom tree.
He was sure that everything he saw just now was real, so he swore again.
"Let me go, is this really human power?"
Sorry, it took a little time!
