Chapter 1460: Diplomatic Mission to Northern Qi, Haitang Practices Ruyi Jin

Grand masters are also human beings, especially Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun, the two grand masters who made breakthroughs on their own. Compared to the other three grand masters, they are more humane.

Zhou Chen has a very clear understanding of himself. The Grand Master is the top of the world in this world, but compared to everything he has experienced, it is really nothing.

He even has the ability to travel across the world. The power of the system cannot be described in words. The world he will experience in the future will definitely be a more martial world than Qing Yunian.

Therefore, for him, breaking through to the Grand Master means breaking through a realm. He has no more thoughts, and he does not feel that he is already above human beings and has become a higher-level existence.

Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun are both great masters. When they sit together, they will naturally talk about martial arts. They are both masters of martial arts. They each have their own martial arts accumulation and path. Although they may not be able to borrow from each other, they can learn from each other. Experience is no problem.

While talking, Ye Liuyun took the initiative to mention something.

"Not long ago, the person in Kyoto sent me a message asking me to return to the capital. Although he didn't specify what it was about, I probably guessed it. I think you should also be aware of it, right?"

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Of course, apart from dealing with the Grand Master, he probably won't look for you, and the person he wants to kill most in Kyoto is me."

Ye Liuyun also smiled.

"I'm really curious about what you did to make him desperately want to recall me."

"It's nothing. He just wanted to plot against me. I don't like being plotted against, so I went to the palace and put something on the bedside of the old queen."

"Ha ha."

Ye Liuyun laughed heartily. Although he was manipulated by Emperor Qing because of the Ye family, it did not mean that he was loyal to Emperor Qing. On the contrary, he was more dissatisfied.

Now that he knew that Emperor Qing was holding back because of Zhou Chen, he felt very happy and sighed in his heart. If he was as free and uninhibited as Zhou Chen, how could Emperor Qing take advantage of him.

"Actually, I'm really happy to know that you have become the Grand Master. Having you as my new addition makes me feel much more relaxed than before."

If it were just him, it would be easy for Emperor Qing to take advantage of him, but now that there is one more Zhou Chen, the three great masters check and balance each other, and his importance becomes more and more obvious. At least Emperor Qing does not dare to treat him like before.

Zhou Chen said softly: "Mr. Ye, you and I had a great chat today. Maybe we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future."

Ye Liuyun's eyes flashed, and he responded with a smile: "I'm really looking forward to such a day."

"In today's battle, both you and I will suffer losses."

"Yes, both sides suffer."

Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun looked at each other and smiled, reaching a tacit understanding.

Zhou Chen didn't care about Emperor Qing, but Ye Liuyun was a little more cautious, so Zhou Chen cooperated with him in acting.

From Ye Liuyun's attitude, it can be seen that he has no loyalty to Emperor Qing.

Of course, Zhou Chen wouldn't really trust him. After all, in the original plot, Ye Liuyun was able to make a lot of compromises for the Ye family. Who knows what he was thinking.

His attitude towards Ye Liuyun is that he is not cooperative or cooperative, but he is not exclusive either. He is neither an enemy nor a friend.

After a meal, Zhou Chen and Ye Liuyun said goodbye to each other and went their separate ways.

This time to go to Northern Qi, Zhou Chen did not take the land route. Instead, he chose to set off from the sea and take a boat to Northern Qi.

The ports in Jiangnan are relatively easy to access by boat. What is a little troublesome is that he has to bring his own horse on board the boat. Of course, it is troublesome, but in fact it is just a little extra money.

Qingguo, Kyoto!

Today is the day for the Qing Kingdom's mission to Northern Qi. Everyone is fully prepared and waiting for the leader of the mission, Fan Xian, to speak before they can set off.

Fan Xian was saying goodbye to his family and friends at this time. He had a special mission on this trip to Northern Qi, so the risks were relatively high, and his relatives and friends were worried.

After saying goodbye to the others, only Teng Zijing was left.

"I am your bodyguard. After receiving your money, I am responsible for protecting your safety. Now you won't let me go to Beiqi with you and insist on letting me stay in Kyoto. What's going on?"

Originally, Teng Zijing had made preparations to go to Northern Qi with Fan Xian, but unexpectedly, Fan Xian told him yesterday that he would stay in Kyoto and not take him with him, which immediately made him anxious. There was a big fuss yesterday. I said goodbye early this morning and here we are again.

Fan Xian said: "Teng Zijing, it's true that you are my bodyguard, but this time is different. It takes a long time to go to Beiqi and back. My family is worried about me, and I am also worried about my family, so I let you The reason for staying is that I want to protect my family, not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.”

Teng Zijing said dissatisfied: "Your father's official position is not low, and he has someone to protect the family. It doesn't make any difference if you have one more or one less me. If I go to Beiqi with you, I can still help you. Don't talk about it. I have already brought my luggage." If you don’t let me go, I have to go.”

"I brought Wang Qinian with me, so you don't have to worry."

"Just because you brought Wang Qinian with you, I am even more worried."

Wang Qinian was dissatisfied after hearing this. He pointed at Teng Zijing and shouted: "What do you mean you are more worried about taking me with you? Teng Zijing, I found that you are really heartless. This is how you treat your savior." Attitude?”

"Can you please stop mentioning your savior? I don't want to talk to you."

Teng Zijing and Wang Qinian stayed together and had many arguments. Of course, they only quarreled in words, but in fact they still had a very good relationship.

Finally, under Teng Zijing's insistence, Fan Xian could not drive him away and could only agree to let him join the delegation. Teng Zijing immediately joined the delegation happily and began to compete with Wang Qinian for the right to drive the carriage.

Just when Fan Xian was about to set off, a convoy suddenly approached, and then someone walked towards the delegation.

"Fan Xian, is Lord Fan here?"

Fan Xian looked at the person in confusion, then recognized him and asked, "Butler Tong, what are you doing?"

Tong Quan bowed to Fan Xian and replied, "Lord Fan, I am here to pay my respects to Lord Fan on the orders of the young master."

"Does the Duke of Zhenguo have anything to tell me?"

Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed. He had received news that the Duke of Zhenguo had left Kyoto many days ago.

Tong Quan said, "My young master is going to Northern Qi, but he has other things to do on the way, so some things are not convenient to carry. He learned that Lord Fan was about to lead an envoy to Northern Qi, so he asked me to entrust the baggage to Northern Qi to Lord Fan. Please take it to Northern Qi together. When my young master arrives in Northern Qi, he will go to find Lord Fan."

Fan Xian heard that he was asked to bring the goods, and nodded immediately.

"No problem, we are going to Northern Qi anyway, it doesn't matter how much we bring."

"Thank you Lord Fan."

Tong Quan showed gratitude and asked someone to send the things over. There were quite a lot of things, a total of more than a dozen boxes.

"Lord Fan, this is the betrothal gift my young master prepared to propose to the Northern Qi Princess, so please pay more attention to it."

Fan Xian's face changed slightly, realizing that this might not be a good job. If something happened to the betrothal gifts on the way, he would not be able to report to the Duke of Zhenguo.

But even though he realized it was not a good job, he still accepted it and had no room for refusal.

"Please rest assured, Steward Tong, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely bring the things of the Duke of Zhenguo to Northern Qi."

Tong Quan was grateful again.

After everything was ready, Fan Xian immediately commanded the delegation to set off.

In the carriage, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing sat together, and both of them had just helped to move things.

Wang Qinian said with emotion: "Our Duke of Zhenguo is really amazing. Those dozen boxes are probably all good things. It's so generous to give so many things for a marriage proposal."

Teng Zijing said unhappily: "A big man like the Duke of Zhenguo proposes marriage. Do you think it's the same as us ordinary people? What's more, he is preparing to propose marriage to the Princess of Northern Qi. Of course, he has to be well prepared. This is a matter of face."

Wang Qinian sighed: "That's the truth, but it's a pity. If the Duke of Zhenguo can go with us, it will definitely be much easier on the way. At that time, no matter what accidents happen, no one will be useful."

"Do you need to say that? If there is a great master here, who dares to come to trouble the delegation and seek death?"

Since Zhou Chen saved his life, Teng Zijing was not only grateful to Zhou Chen, but also had a kind of admiration for him, an admiration for the strong.

Zhou Chen took a boat from the port and set off from the sea. His destination was Dongyi City. In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

Normally, in this feudal society, traveling by water is faster than traveling by land, so Zhou Chen set out from Jiangnan and crossed Dadong Mountain in more than ten days, arriving near the port of Dongyi City.

He remembered that he had told Yun Zhilan before that if he passed through Dongyi City again, he would visit again.

So after Zhou Chen got off the boat in Dongyi City, he rode his whirlwind and went to the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion as a guest.

Unlike the last time, this time he stayed in the Dongyi City Lord's Mansion for two days before fighting with Si Gu Jian again.

This time, they didn't fight for three days and three nights, but only half a day, because they were familiar with each other's moves. In the case of life and death, it was difficult to tell the winner based on the moves and true qi alone.

Although Si Gu Jian was a martial arts fanatic and a madman, he was not really stupid. He and Zhou Chen were just sparring, so naturally he would not fight desperately.

After staying in Dongyi City for four days, Zhou Chen set out again. This time he went by land, riding a black horse, Tornado, and leisurely went to Shangjing City, Northern Qi.

This was his second trip to Shangjing City, and this time he changed the route.

Just as Zhou Chen was going to Shangjing City, Northern Qi alone, the delegation led by Fan Xian was also approaching the border between Qing and Qi.

This time, when escorting the delegation to Northern Qi, Fan Xian's secret mission was to kill Sean, so after approaching the border, he immediately used a trick to let Sean go, and then he prepared an ambush in advance to get rid of Sean who he deliberately let go.

But just when he caught Sean and was about to get rid of Sean, something unexpected happened. A girl who looked like a village girl appeared like an elf in the forest.

This girl's martial arts were amazing. After some probing, Fan Xian guessed the girl's identity. She was Ku He's last disciple, the Saint of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo.

Fan Xian was worried about not having the experience of fighting against masters, so when he saw the ninth-rank Haitang Duoduo, he immediately became interested and took the initiative to provoke Haitang Duoduo, forcing her to fight him.

But after a few moves, he was at an absolute disadvantage, and then he quickly raised his hand to stop.

Fan Xian looked at Haitang Duoduo with doubtful eyes: "Why do I feel that your true energy is somewhat similar to the Ruyi Jin of our Qing State Grandmaster Zhenguogong?"

Zhou Chen had attacked him several times, so he had a deep impression of Zhou Chen's true qi. Haitang Duoduo was naturally very different from Zhou Chen, but after the fight just now, he found that Haitang Duoduo's true qi was slightly similar to Zhou Chen's true qi.

Haitang Duoduo put away her double axes and said in surprise: "You actually know Zhou Chen's Ruyi Jin? What is your relationship with him?"

Fan Xian's eyes lit up immediately: "I have received guidance from the Duke of Zhenguo. The Duke of Zhenguo is my creditor, and I still owe the Duke of Zhenguo 70,000 taels of silver."

When these words came out, even the injured Sean was shocked.

Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but say, "You are so shameless to say that you owe money."

Fan Xian didn't care and said with a smile, "Of course, how many people in the world can owe money to a grandmaster? Not to mention that there is no one else like me who owes 70,000 taels."

Haitang Duoduo said, "Ruyi Jin was taught to me by Zhou Chen."

"I see, in that case, our relationship is close, you should be here to kill Sean, we can cooperate."

Fan Xian took the initiative to get close to him. He felt that Zhou Chen's ability to teach Haitang Duoduo his martial arts skills proved that their relationship was not simple, and he naturally didn't want to be an enemy of Haitang Duoduo.

Haitang Duoduo was not interested: "Forget about cooperation, you want to kill Sean, right? You can do it now. As long as you kill him, I will leave immediately."

But before they could finish the discussion, a sharp arrow suddenly attacked. It was Yan Xiaoyi who came to kill Fan Xian on the orders of the eldest princess.

Yan Xiaoyi has not been dealt with yet, and there is another strong enemy over there. It is Sean's adopted son, Shang Shanhu, who leads a team to rescue Sean.

All forces gathered at the border of Qing and Qi, and launched a thrilling competition.

At the same time, Zhou Chen was about to reach Shangjing City after many days, but he did not go directly to Shangjing City, but went to another place, Ku He's retreat.

He knew that Fan Xian had already been an envoy to Northern Qi. Calculating the time, Wu Zhu should be ready to help Fan Xian stop the Grandmaster Ku He.

Zhou Chen has seen the four great masters in the world, but not Wu Zhu, mainly because Wu Zhu is a robot, and he really has no interest in fighting Wu Zhu.

However, he himself is not interested in fighting robots, but he is still very interested in watching others fight Wu Zhu.

So he is going to Ku He's retreat to watch the battle between Wu Zhu and Ku He.

Although he has never been to Ku He's retreat, it is not difficult to find a place with a waterfall near Shangjing City.
