Chapter 1459 Zhou Chen VS Ye Liuyun
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.
The team stopped when they arrived at the pavilion, and a charming and arrogant woman stepped out of the carriage. She was none other than Li Yunrui, the eldest princess who had been driven out of Kyoto.
"Mr. Zhen Guo is indeed trustworthy. I thought you wouldn't take me, a down-and-out man who was driven out of Kyoto, seriously."
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, 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 give in. 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 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 favoring 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 control the inspection agency."
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 cost, 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 understood that no one could kill Chen Pingping unless the Grand Master took 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 method 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 confused 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 that you are at the age when you are making great achievements, but you seem to pay no attention to anything and have no pursuits. If you have no pursuits in your 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, 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 looked at Zhou Chen in front of her blankly. 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 power, even Emperor Qing cannot restrict his freedom. There is 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, and even the emperor didn't look down on 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 survive, he can have a lot, so surviving is the most important thing.
This sentence made Li Yunrui silent, because she found that she seemed to have nothing that could impress Zhou Chen. The moves that had always been invincible in the past did not work at all with Zhou Chen.
Looking at the silent Li Yunrui, Zhou Chen suddenly showed a meaningful expression.
"In fact, I don't understand it either. You should have discovered that everything you have done, when facing Emperor Qing, as long as he says a word, everything you have will be gone. But how did you do it? You used the crown prince and the second prince again, but their situations are actually the same as yours. Whether they are the crown prince or even dead or alive, it all depends on a word from Emperor Qing."
"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, recasting the world, and becoming a chess player, you have a chance to win, otherwise you will always be a chess piece on the chessboard, controlled by Emperor Qing."
Li Yunrui's eyes flashed with light, and he suddenly laughed.
"As expected of you, you have no respect for him at all, and you actually gave me such an idea. If I were to ask you, you must be the most courageous 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 even dare to think about it, what's the difference between you and a waste?"
"Princess, where is the news I want?"
Li Yunrui handed a note to Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen stood up after reading it.
"Let's go."
"I promise that the next time we meet, it will still be in Kyoto."
Hearing Li Yunrui's words, Zhou Chen laughed, and did not reply. He rode on his black horse Cyclone and left quickly.
The news he wanted from Zhou Chen was none other than the news of Grandmaster Ye Liuyun.
He had already fought two of the four great masters, and Emperor Qing was in the palace and could not escape, so this time when he went to Northern Qi, he just went to find Ye Liuyun and fought this one.
However, Ye Liuyun was in Jiangnan at this time, and he needed to take a detour to Jiangnan, and the time to go to Northern Qi would definitely be delayed, but fortunately he made preparations in advance.
Speaking of which, among the four great masters in Joy of Life, Ye Liuyun is the most frustrated one.
Although he has become the most powerful grandmaster in the world, he still has to be manipulated by Emperor Qing, and is far less free than the other three great masters. Perhaps this is the biggest reason why he said that he has humanity, while the other three great masters have lost their humanity.
The Ye family can contain the great master, which will never happen to the other three great masters.
Jiangnan is the most prosperous area in Qing. Kyoto may be the political center of Qing, but except for Kyoto City, the rest of the places are not as developed as Jiangnan.
The three most profitable workshops in Qing’s internal treasury are 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 been to, Jiangnan is indeed a more prosperous area, but this level of prosperity is nothing to Zhou Chen, and he came to Jiangnan not for fun, but for Ye Liuyun.
With the news of Li Yunrui and Zhou Chen's deliberate search, it is not difficult to find Ye Liuyun.
Hangzhou!
Although this is the world after the nuclear war, the mountains and seas have changed, and the world is upside down, but 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.
Zhou Chen found Ye Liuyun in Hangzhou.
Ye Liuyun is the kind of person who travels around the world. It may be because of his character of not fighting or competing and going with the flow that Emperor Qing seized his weakness and controlled him.
The Qi induction between the grandmasters is very strong. Although Zhou Chen has not seen Ye Liuyun yet, he has discovered Ye Liuyun's existence a few miles away.
The five senses of the Grandmaster are extremely strong, and Zhou Chen is even more outstanding in this aspect. If they were all ordinary people, he might not be able to tell them apart, but Ye Liuyun is not an ordinary person. He is a Grandmaster. His true qi and qi are not covered, which is too obvious. So after approaching, he can quickly find Ye Liuyun.
He also did not hide himself. When he found Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun also found him.
The two met on the lake. Zhou Chen was on a sightseeing boat, while Ye Liuyun was driving a small boat alone.
The moment they met, Zhou Chen soared into the sky amid the exclamations of tourists on the big boat, like a roc soaring into the sky, and went straight to Ye Liuyun's boat.
Although it was the first time for the two to meet, at this moment, it seemed that they had a deep tacit understanding. They didn't need to say a word, and they started to fight.
Zhou Chen descended from the sky, looking down from above, and slapped him with one palm. Ye Liuyun stepped on the small boat, raised his head to face the void, and slapped him in the air.
"Boom!"
The terrifying collision of true qi produced a startling roar. The boat under Ye Liuyun's feet was fine, but the surrounding lake surface suddenly rose with multiple water columns, which soared several feet into the sky, covering the figures of Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the two fought, the calm lake surface could no longer be calm, like a dragon turning over, and the lake surface was turbulent.
There were many boats on the lake, and with such a huge change, all the boats were scrambling to leave, especially those that were closer, which were pushed back by invisible forces and soon left the battle 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 was the second oldest among the five great masters after Ku He. His actual age was not young, but he looked much younger than his actual age. His hair was still black, but his beard was a little silvery white. His appearance and clothes were also very ordinary. If you didn't know his identity, you might really think he was an ordinary old man.
The fight between the two great masters made this lake a forbidden area during this period, and no boat dared to go into the water.
This battle between the great masters soon lasted for half an hour. During this period, the lake was not calm for half a minute. I don't know how many fish died in the fight between the two, and there were many fish corpses floating on the lake.
Fortunately, this was on the water. If it was on land, with the destructive power of the two of them, it is estimated that they would not be able to destroy anything within a few miles.
Because it was just a sparring match, the fight lasted a long time. Many people had come around the lake, including many warriors, who wanted to watch this earth-shaking battle.
However, the aftermath of the Grandmaster's fight was too terrifying, and no one dared to get too close, so they could only watch from a distance and could not see the specific situation at all.
The Grandmaster could not only decide the outcome with one move, but also last for a long time, because their true energy was very terrifying, which was completely different from the true energy of ordinary warriors.
In this violent collision, Ye Liuyun was the first to be unable to bear it and used his unique skill, Liuyun Sanshou.
A martial art that suits you best can improve the combat effectiveness of a warrior very amazingly. Ye Liuyun who used Liuyun Sanshou and Ye Liuyun who did not use Liuyun Sanshou seemed like two different people.
Zhou Chen was naturally unwilling to be outdone. A meteor flew from the shore and fell into Zhou Chen's hand. It was his sword.
His best sword technique was Xiangyi Taijian. He had created his own sword technique, but he was not satisfied with it in the end. He still used this set of Xiangyi Taijian the most smoothly and the moves were the most exquisite.
Now that he has become a grandmaster, he has a deeper understanding of this set of sword techniques. When he uses this set of sword techniques, the power increases dramatically.
The Xiangyi Taijian vs. Liuyun Sanshou, the vibration of the lake surface became greater, and the movement of the battle was even more shocking. Those who watched the battle by the lake were all stunned. They couldn't believe that human power could be so terrifying.
After both sides used their special skills, the movement became greater, but the battle became simpler. After only a few dozen moves, they stopped very tacitly.
"Mr. Ye's Liuyun Sanshou is indeed well-deserved."
On the third floor of a restaurant by the lake, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun were drinking at the same table, and Zhou Chen praised sincerely.
Ye Liuyun drank a glass of wine and laughed: "Compared with your swordsmanship, my Liuyun Sanshou is nothing. At such a young age, you created your own skills and became a grandmaster. I am ashamed of myself. You are the most talented person in the world in martial arts, and you deserve it."
