Chapter 1409 Let’s get married!
Hongmen Banquet.

This time, Li Tongguang arranged the meeting place in the military camp, which was a Hongmen Banquet. It looked polite on the surface, but in fact, it was meant to be humiliating.

During the banquet, he brought up the captured Wu soldiers and humiliated them wantonly in front of everyone in the delegation, causing great outrage among the entire delegation.

The smug and arrogant look of this villain really made the Wu people in the delegation furious.

In this situation, Zhou Chen did not make any move, but just watched coldly, while Ning Yuanzhou, Yang Ying and others wished they could kill Li Tongguang.

Li Tongguang wanted to humiliate the delegation, but he ended up being humiliated instead. Ren Ruyi poured wine on his head in public, and he was furious and wanted revenge.

In anger, Yang Ying exposed the identity of Li Tongguang's lover's son in public, causing Li Tongguang to lose his mind and attack him in public, but Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative and knocked him to the ground.

In the end, the delegation left the military camp with the captured soldiers. Although Li Tongguang was angry, he did not pursue them.

Today he did intend to humiliate King Li of Wu State, but there was something more important, which was to find out whether Princess Huyang was his master. For this purpose, he called the maid who had served Ren Xin.

He poured wine on Ren Ruyi's veil, intentionally wanting Ren Ruyi to take off the veil to make it easier for Liuli to confirm Ren Ruyi's identity.

Shortly after the delegation returned to the post station, Jin Meiniang sneaked into the post station, found Ren Ruyi, and told Ren Ruyi all the information about Li Tongguang and the hidden secrets.

When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had painted many portraits of her and even collected the clothes she had worn, her face became extremely cold.

Although she was not worldly-wise in many matters, she was an extremely intelligent woman and had been in the White Sparrow Camp. If she did not understand what Jin Meiniang wanted to express, she would immediately say that Jin Meiniang was overthinking it.

However, she gave another reminder out of concern.

"Don't tell Zhou Chen about this."

Jin Mei Niang asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Master Zhou?"

Ren Ruyi said: "I'm worried that if he finds out, he will go and kill Li Tongguang. He is the most jealous person."

"what?"

Jin Meiniang was shocked. Although she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she could feel that Zhou Chen was unusual. Was he really as jealous as His Majesty said?

Also, the tone and attitude of His Majesty when he mentioned this man was something she had never seen before. She could see that His Majesty's heart was truly captured by Zhou Chen.

"It seems that Master Zhou really cares about Your Majesty, but I think Master Zhou is a smart man. Li Tongguang is surrounded by guards, so he will definitely not do anything reckless."

Ren Ruyi said, "That's because you don't understand him. He is a very daring person. If you anger him, he really dares to kill Li Tongguang. Let alone Li Tongguang, I wouldn't be surprised even if he tried to assassinate the emperor."

She and Zhou Chen spent every day together, and over time, she naturally understood Zhou Chen's temperament. His attitude toward royal officials was no different from that toward ordinary people, and he had no respect for the powerful.

Along the way, Zhou Chen has learned most of her assassination skills. If Zhou Chen becomes an assassin, he might be better than her.

"Your Majesty, you have really changed."

"Five years have passed, and no one remains unchanged."

Jin Meiniang smiled without explaining. She was not talking about anything else but that Ren Ruyi would actually fall in love with a man. This was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Suddenly, the guard in charge of guarding came to report that Marquis Changqing came to visit and specifically asked to see Prince Li, Du Changshi, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou.

Although the two sides had just had a falling out yesterday, there was naturally no reason to avoid it since the other party came in person today.

In the side courtyard of the posthouse, Zhou Chen was making wood carvings using the carving knife given to him by Ren Ruyi.

Jin Meiniang walked slowly and gracefully to sit opposite Zhou Chen.

"Master Zhou."

"Boss Jin."

Zhou Chen stopped carving.

"Mr. Zhou is your Excellency's friend, you can just call me Mei Niang."

Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing. Although he had a good impression of Jin Meiniang because of her loyalty and ability, he had to control the degree of intimacy.

"This carving knife of yours is made of meteorite iron, right? I remember that Your Majesty once got a piece of meteorite iron, and after he forged the Qingyun Sword, a part of it remained."

"This is indeed a gift from Ruyi."

"I have never seen His Majesty so close to someone. Mr. Zhou, I hope you won't let His Majesty down." Jin Meiniang's expression was serious and solemn.

Zhou Chen also looked at Jin Meiniang seriously and said slowly: "I am not a good person, but there is one thing I will not let down a woman who is truly kind to me. Ruyi is the mother of my future child, and she is also my Achilles' heel."

Jin Mei Niang laughed sweetly: "I really can't imagine that Your Majesty will get married and have children one day, and I am very much looking forward to this day."

Zhou Chen said: "You will see this day, it won't be long."

"Then I'll wait."

Seeing Zhou Chen carving again, Jin Meiniang felt bored and asked curiously, "What are you carving?"

"Nothing, just carving for fun."

Jin Mei Niang rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "Right now, the Marquis of Changqing in Anguo is negotiating with His Majesty in the meeting room. I don't believe you can't see Marquis of Changqing's attitude towards His Majesty. Are you not worried at all? Or are you sitting here carving to distract yourself?"

Zhou Chen paused, then continued.

"Boss Jin is indeed a female hero who can control the Jinsha Gang, Jinbao Storehouse and Jinsha Building. Her imagination is really amazing."

"Brain? What do you mean?"

"It's just a wild guess and random association."

"Are you really not worried?"

Jin Mei Niang didn't quite believe it: "Your Majesty said that the young master loves to be jealous."

Zhou Chen's face turned dark. This woman really could say anything.

"You may be jealous, but do you know what are the most important factors for two people to stay together forever?"

"Which?"

Jin Meiniang is in the best physical condition and looks curious. Although she is in charge of such a powerful gang, she is not an expert in emotions, otherwise she would not have scared Yu Shisan away.

"Trust and respect. I trust Ruyi. Since she said she wants to be with me, I won't doubt her. Even if something unexpected happens like Li Tongguang, I still believe in her. I respect her. She is herself first, not my vassal, so I won't interfere with her choices and decisions."

Jin Meiniang was stunned. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and then she smiled brightly.

"I really don't know whether you are too confident or too naive, but I can be sure of one thing, you have a good eye, and Your Majesty will definitely not let you down."

"I think so too. I have always had a good eye."

Although people's hearts are fickle, he has the ability to foresee the future, coupled with rich life experience and long-term getting along with others, so he has already figured out what kind of person Ren Ruyi is and knows how to get along with him.

"Mr. Zhou, I have a question for you."

"About Yu Shisan?"

Jin Meiniang's expression froze. Zhou Chen guessed her thoughts before she even opened her mouth. This feeling was really bad.

"Yes, actually now I understand why he left me in the first place, but I don't understand why he just wants to be a playboy. Is there no one in the world who can make him stop?"

"That's not the case. Since you asked, I'll tell you my understanding. Yu Shisan is my brother. The reason why he chooses to be a playboy is naturally because he doesn't need to take responsibility. As a man, who doesn't want to be around a lot of women without getting a single leaf on him?"

"Hearing what you said, Yu Shisan becomes even more hateful."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Although he is a scumbag, he is still honest. At least you are just shouting at him to kill you on the surface, and you haven't really thought about doing anything to him, right?"

Jin Meiniang did not deny it, but just smiled slightly. It was just as Zhou Chen said, she had never thought about doing anything to Shisan, but she was really resentful that Shisan left without saying goodbye.

"You seem to see through everything, and I kind of like you."

"Don't do that. I'm afraid your Lord will kill you."

"Cuckoo..."

Jin Meiniang laughed happily. It was obvious that Zhou Chen was not pedantic and was able to take a joke. Such a character was very suitable for her master.

"Boss Jin, there is something I would like to ask you for help."

In the meeting room, Li Tongguang arrived with great fanfare, but soon, he was so distracted by Ren Ruyi's treatment that he became disoriented and completely collapsed. He needed the support of his attendants and maids to walk, and fled from the inn in a panic.

As soon as Li Tongguang left, Ren Ruyi found Zhou Chen. Without saying a word, she just hugged Zhou Chen and leaned herself in Zhou Chen's arms.

"Are you mad at your apprentice? I'll help you teach him a lesson and beat him till he's left with a tearing tooth on the ground."

Ren Ruyi hugged Zhou Chen tightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, I just want to hold you and lean on you, I feel very safe."

The matter of her disciple Li Tongguang did make her very angry and furious, but she had almost vented her anger just now. What she needed now was not comfort, but to stay quietly with Zhou Chen.

If there is anyone in this world who can make her open her heart, it must be Zhou Chen. She may not understand what love is, but she knows that when she is with Zhou Chen, she feels safe and relaxed.

The two hugged each other, leaning against each other quietly, feeling each other's presence.

"Ruyi, let's get married?"

"what?"

Ren Ruyi left Zhou Chen's arms, raised her head, and looked surprised.

Zhou Chen said it again with a serious expression.

"I say, let's get married."

Ren Ruyi just looked at Zhou Chen for a while before she asked, "Why so sudden?"

In the past, she just wanted to have a baby with Zhou Chen, but as they spent some time together, her mind had changed and she really wanted to be with Zhou Chen.

So when she heard Zhou Chen talking about getting married, she was shocked but happy in her heart. However, she was more confused as to why Zhou Chen did it so suddenly.

"Since we have arrived in Anguo, I know exactly what you are going to do next and what risks you are going to take. Logically, I shouldn't tell you this at this time because it will burden you. But after thinking about it, I decided to tell you. I don't know what will happen in the future. What if we both die and can't be buried together properly?"

"That's why I thought, before we do those dangerous things, we should get married first. Even if something happens to us in the future, we can be buried together as husband and wife. We can truly live and die together, sleep in the same bed, and be buried in the same grave."

Hearing Zhou Chen say this, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but be moved. She was used to being alone, and she got along very well with Zhou Chen during this period. If they could become each other's support, it seemed like a good choice.

"But is this the right time?"

"Of course it's appropriate. Our marriage is our own business. You and I don't have any relatives, so there's no need to make it so grand. Of course, if you want three matchmakers, six betrothals, and a sedan chair, I can also..."

Ren Ruyi covered Zhou Chen's mouth and said tenderly, "I don't need those, and I don't care, but are you really willing to marry me and be together for the rest of your life?"

"of course."

"You know I'm an assassin. If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you."

"Then you may be overthinking it. This won't happen."

"I promise, when do you want?"

"tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have already gotten rid of Jin Mei Niang to arrange the necessary things, and they will be delivered tomorrow."

Ren Ruyi stared at Zhou Chen with a playful look: "It seems that you are already prepared. Are you so sure that I will agree to you?"

"I believe in the saying that sincerity can move mountains and rocks. Even if it takes some effort, I can still make you agree. What's more, you have me in your heart."

Zhou Chen had a sincere expression, and he gently embraced Ren Ruyi in his arms, holding her and smelling her fragrance.

Just as the two were being affectionate with each other, Yu Shisan suddenly ran over and said that Li Tongguang's convoy had been ambushed, and Ning Yuanzhou had decided to go to support them, and asked them if they wanted to go together.

When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang was ambushed, her expression changed slightly. Even though she was very dissatisfied with Li Tongguang's behavior, he was her apprentice after all, so she naturally didn't want Li Tongguang to get into trouble.

Zhou Chen held down Ren Ruyi's soft hair and said, "Leave it to me. I'll go with you. You don't have to go. It's easy to be exposed."

"Can……"

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty. Besides, you've already agreed to marry me, so how could I not consider your feelings? Leave it to me."

Ren Ruyi didn't say anything more after hearing this, and just said: "Okay, Jiu'er is also a poor child. Now he has finally achieved what he has now. He shouldn't get into trouble here. If he gets into trouble, it won't be a good thing for the delegation."

"Okay, I know. Just wait here for good news."

Zhou Chen and Yu Shisan left together. On the way, Yu Shisan asked curiously, "You just said that Miss Ruyi agreed to marry you. What does that mean? Are you going to get married?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel sorry for you. For a man, once he gets married, his life is over." Yu Shisan shook his head and sighed.

Zhou Chen cursed: "You know shit. I can't explain it to you, a so-called prodigal son. Stop talking nonsense and go save people."

Yu Shisan suggested slyly, "Why save him? I think we should just let the Marquis of Changqing be killed. We can tell at a glance that the guy had bad intentions towards Miss Ruyi. You will feel at ease if he dies."

"Whether he's dead or alive, it's not a threat to me. I'm just worried about you. Ruyi is right. If he dies, it will be even more difficult for you to welcome back His Majesty."

"The way that boy looks at you, it's as if he wants to kill you. Do you think he can be a help to us?"

"Who knows, maybe."
