The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 816 Making friends, Mid-Autumn Festival, number one in the world
"I'm really sorry that Mr. Xiao was involved because of my affairs today."

Zhou Chen bowed to Xiao Jingrui and expressed his apology. Although it was unintentional, it is true that everyone in the tea shop suffered because of him.

Xiao Jingrui immediately said: "My lord, don't worry about it. What you have done is doing justice for the heavens and doing good deeds. It is really because the people of the Tyrant Sword Sect are too domineering and do whatever they want, that's why they became like this."

"That being said, I can't escape my responsibility, Mr. Xiao, I'll deal with it first, and I'll talk to you in detail later."

As he said that, he walked towards the positions of the dead guests. Five people died in total, but most of them had already fled, and now there were only two people who were still guarding the corpses.

These two people should be relatives and friends of the deceased. Zhou Chen politely expressed his apologies to them, and then took out gold as compensation.

Facing Zhou Chen's apology and compensation, the two dared not refuse. The group of people were so domineering and arrogant just now, but they were still dealt with by Zhou Chen. Such a strong man, they dare not complain and abuse.

What's more, Zhou Chen also gave gold compensation, which was a large sum of money for traveling traders like them, more than enough to buy their lives.

Human life was so worthless in ancient times, not to mention that now that there are many countries in the world and it is still in troubled times, human life is even more worthless.

Zhou Chen found the shopkeeper of the tea shop again, and also made appropriate compensation.

The shopkeeper of the tea shop was also a knowledgeable person. He was very polite and respectful. After a few excuses, he finally accepted the compensation and promised to take care of the corpse.

Xiao Jingrui followed Zhou Chen all the time, watching how Zhou Chen handled these funeral affairs, so he admired Zhou Chen even more.

Although he longs for loyalty in the Jianghu and often walks in the Jianghu, but from what he has seen and seen, most of the people in the Jianghu are not good people, and there are very few honest men.

Like Zhou Chen, killing the enemy is a method of thunder. Facing ordinary people who have been implicated by him, he can bend down to apologize and compensate.

So he had a very good impression of Zhou Chen, and felt that people like Zhou Chen were the heroes of the rivers and lakes that he had always admired and respected.

At this moment, his friendship became even stronger.

"Jingrui admires your philanthropic heart." Xiao Jingrui said to Zhou Chen with a respectful face.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and invited Xiao Jingrui to sit down at the table in the tea shop.

"It's not charity. These people have suffered because of me. I just want to be clear of my heart when I do this."

Although he has done a lot of charity, he never thought of himself as a great benevolent person. To be honest, his hands were stained with countless blood. Because of his different positions, the innocent people who died at his hands were countless.

If these people didn't die because of him today, he would sit idly by in all likelihood. As he said, these people died because of him. He did this more to make himself clear of his heart. do good things.

Xiao Jingrui didn't feel that something was wrong at all, and said still: "Even so, the young master's behavior is not comparable to that of ordinary people in the world."

Having watched the TV series, Zhou Chen naturally knows what kind of person Xiao Jingrui is. Looking at the entire Langya List, there are not many people who can be regarded as gentlemen, and Xiao Jingrui is definitely the most outstanding one.

In the future Langya list, Xiao Jingrui is ranked second in the young master list, which is very fair.

In fact, he also knew Xiao Jingrui, and they met many times when they were young, but that has become a memory of the past.

"I have heard of Mr. Xiao's name for a long time. It is really admirable that Mr. Xiao can leave the noble life of Jinling City and walk alone in the rivers and lakes."

Walking the rivers and lakes sounds good to increase knowledge, but in fact, it is more about suffering, how can it compare with the prosperous world of Daliang Capital City.

Xiao Jingrui said: "Young Master and I hit it off right away. My elder brother directly calls me Jing Rui. That's what all my friends call me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask you to call me Jing Rui, and you don't need to call me your son, my real name is Chen Yu."

"Then I'll call my brother Brother Yu."

Of course Zhou Chen wouldn't mind. Just for a while, the relationship between the two of them became much closer. Both of them had mutual understanding, and it was very easy to chat.

Zhou Chen had been away from Daliang for a long time, and although he occasionally contacted Mei Changsu through the Jiangzuo League, he didn't know much about the situation in Jinling City.

Chatting with Xiao Jingrui now, I know a lot about the current situation of Jinling City.

It can be said that the two hit it off right away, and for the next half a month, the two will travel together and travel together.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Xiao Jingrui took the initiative to tell Zhou Chen about it.

"Brother Yu, it is Jingrui's blessing to be able to travel the rivers and lakes with you, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and my parents and relatives at home are still waiting for me to go back to reunite, so tomorrow I will go to Jinling, and I will tell you in advance, Brother Yu One sound."

After hearing this, Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion of relatives is indeed something to be happy and celebrated. I came back from Dayu not long ago to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my friends. If this is the case, then we Let’s say goodbye in advance today.”

"Thank you Brother Yu for your understanding. Walking the rivers and lakes with Brother Yu is the happiest period of time I've had in the past few years."

In the past, when Xiao Jingrui traveled the rivers and lakes, he was basically alone. Even if he met friends with the same interests, he would spend at most three or four days together. It was the first time that he and Zhou Chen walked together for half a month.

"If Brother Yu is free in the future, you can come to Jinling for a short stay. I will definitely entertain you with great hospitality."

Zhou Chen replied with a smile: "Then it's settled, I might really go to Jinling City for a walk in the future, then Jing Rui, don't act as if you don't know me."

"Brother Yu was joking."

Early the next morning, Zhou Chen and Xiao Jingrui bid farewell to each other.

After half a month of getting along, Zhou Chen knew a lot about Xiao Jingrui. Xiao Jingrui's temperament was indeed similar to that in the TV series, and he was a person worthy of deep friendship. If he made friends with him, he would never have to worry about being taken advantage of by him.

If Fei Liu was pure and innocent, then Xiao Jingrui was a modest gentleman with a pure heart. Being with him really felt like a refreshing breeze.

But such an excellent person has a bizarre life experience, and all the happiness he has will disappear overnight.

After separating from Xiao Jingrui, Zhou Chen began to hide his tracks and headed towards the border of Jiangzuo.

Before returning, he contacted Mei Changsu by letter, saying that he would arrive in Langzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Jiangzuo League is now the absolute overlord of the [-] Jiangzuo prefectures, and in order to facilitate management, Mei Changsu moved the headquarters of the Jiangzuo League to Langzhou.

However, the Jiangzuo League has sub-rudders in all fourteen prefectures of Jiangzuo, and there are several sub-rudders outside the fourteen prefectures.

Under the leadership of Mei Changsu, the Jiangzuo League is no longer a simple rivers and lakes force, with strict discipline, comparable to the army.

Zhou Chen hurried all the way, and finally arrived in Langzhou on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then went straight to the Jiangzuo League headquarters.

After more than three years, Zhou Chen finally met his former friends and companions again.

Mei Changsu, Wei Zheng, Li Gang, Zhen Ping and the former Chi Yan's old department, as well as Lin Chen and Gong Yu.

Zhou Chen greeted Mei Changsu and the others one by one. They hadn't seen each other for several years. Everyone was very enthusiastic and happy.

When Zhou Chen saw Lin Chen, he was very surprised: "Lin Chen, why did you come here during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and didn't accompany Master in Langya Mountain?"

Lin Chen's long hair was disheveled, and he looked unrestrained. Hearing Zhou Chen's words, he immediately complained.

"My father went down the mountain two years ago to travel, and he hasn't come back until now. It's too lonely for me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on the mountain alone, so I came down the mountain to find you together. Tell me how you came back. Well, you went on a tour, and my father also went on a tour, and I left all the affairs of Langya Pavilion to me, but I was exhausted to death."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "Old Pavilion Master, he is training you."

Lin Chen looked disdainful: "Hey, a genius like me still needs to be trained? Junior brother, let's discuss it, how about we switch, you go to the mountain to manage Langya Pavilion, and I go down the mountain to travel, how about it?"

"You think it's pretty."

Zhou Chen glanced at him, Pavilion Master Langya looked majestic and respected, but the pain in it was not enough for outsiders to understand.

After all, you have to memorize so much information in your mind. This is a tiring job, and he doesn't want to accept this mess.

Everyone chatted for a while, before Mei Changsu said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, at noon and night, let's have a good get-together. Xiaochen just came back today, so he must be very tired. Let's go back first." .”

Wei Zheng and the others naturally had nothing to say, but Lin Chen was different. He glanced at Gong Yu who had been standing quietly in the room, and winked at Zhou Chen.

"Chang Su, Junior Brother has just come back, but I don't know if he's tired or not. Anyway, if it's me, seeing the beauty in front of me, I won't feel tired no matter how tired I am."

Before, he only knew that Gong Yu was an important figure in the Jiangzuo League, otherwise he would not have appeared here.

But ever since Zhou Chen appeared, Gong Yu's eyes never left Zhou Chen, sometimes joyful, sometimes melancholy, sometimes tender...

Although he wasn't married, he had a high EQ. How could he not see Gong Yu's obvious performance.

Mei Changsu shook his head helplessly. As for Wei Zheng and the others, they were all holding back their laughter. They didn't dare to laugh at Zhou Chen face to face, otherwise Zhou Chen's fists wouldn't recognize anyone, and all of them together wouldn't be enough to beat Zhou Chen. of.

Gong Yu's cheeks were slightly flushed by Lin Chen's words, but he still stood where he was, and did not flee from the place because of shyness.

Zhou Chen kicked Lin Chen angrily, and Lin Chen dodged away.

"Hey, you can't kick me, you can't kick me."

The tone was full of ridicule, and he shouted as he ran: "Miss Gong Yu, I will leave my junior brother to you. If he bullies you, you can tell me that I am his senior brother. Let me teach him a lesson."

Li Gang laughed and said: "Young master, you provoke me every time, but you can't take advantage of it every time."

Wei Zheng also said with a smile: "Before Ah Chen had mastered Kungfu, he could still bully Ah Chen, but now, he can only run."

Mei Changsu glared at the two of them, and snorted, "Don't take pleasure in other people's misfortune. He heard it. It's good for the two of you. He can't play tricks on Xiao Chen, but it's okay to play tricks on you two."

Mei Changsu usually has a dignified look in front of his brothers in the alliance, but only at this time will he reveal his true temperament.

Mei Changsu and the others quickly left, leaving only Zhou Chen and Gong Yu in the room.

Although Zhou Chen had been in love for a long time and had a thick skin, he was still a little embarrassed when facing Gong Yu's affectionate and tender eyes.

The main reason is that he hasn't written a letter to Gong Yu since he left for a few years, and he hasn't even met him once. Right after he came back, Gong Yu was already waiting for him. This kind of affection is really rare.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Gong Yu spoke first instead.

"Young master, the suzerain has already selected this yard for you. No one has ever lived in it, and it has been cleaned all the time. I knew you were coming back. I have cleaned it up two days in advance, and all the items that should be equipped have been cleaned. The futons needed for practicing are also ready, and the tea leaves and tea sets are all up-to-date.”

Listening to Gong Yu's word for word, Zhou Chen was lying if he said he wasn't moved. In fact, he never teased Gong Yu at all, but sometimes the relationship between a man and a woman is so strange.

He didn't do anything, but Gong Yu just recognized him, even after several years, this feeling has not weakened.

"Thank you."

An inconspicuous thank you made Gong Yu smile happily.

"That's what I should do."

Zhou Chen casually sat down on the chair, and then asked Gong Yu to sit down as well. Gong Yu sat down on the chair that Zhou Chen had taken without hesitation.

In fact, people in this era usually sit on their knees or cross-legged on short stools in formal occasions, and they are more casual only in their own places.

But Zhou Chen is not used to sitting on his knees, and sitting cross-legged is only for practice, so he designed the chair himself, but only a few people in the Jiangzuo League can use the chair, and it has not spread.

This is also normal, after all, they are used to it, Zhou Chen feels comfortable sitting in a chair, but they feel comfortable kneeling instead.

"I heard from Xiaoshu that you performed very well in Jinling. Thank you for your hard work, and let you stay in that kind of place again."

Gong Yu shook his head, and replied with a serious expression: "It's not hard work, as long as you can get revenge and help the son and suzerain, it's nothing."

Influenced by Confucianism and other schools of thought, in fact, most people in this era have relatively simple thoughts and do not have the mixed thoughts of people in later generations.

Loyalty is often the pursuit of many people in this era. Those who do not have loyalty are often despised and alienated.

Especially in feudal society, women's social status was very poor. Compared with men, women were more innocent. To put it bluntly, it could also be said to be ignorant.

"Needless to say, we are not a relationship between superiors and subordinates. We are cooperating to deal with Xie Yu together."

Zhou Chen said so, but Gong Yu didn't take it seriously. She has now joined the Jiangzuo League. Strictly speaking, she is Zhou Chen's subordinate. The deputy suzerain of the Left League.

"My lord, the tea is cold, I'll get you a new pot."

Gong Yu got up to change a pot of tea for Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen stretched out his hand to stop him.

"No, I'm not thirsty now, no need to change, let's sit and talk."

Although Gong Yu had affection for Zhou Chen, the two of them lived in the same courtyard for a few months, and then they didn't see each other for a few years. In fact, they really didn't have much in common.

Therefore, most of the chat between the two of them was Zhou Chen talking about, telling her about the journey of traveling in the past few years, talking about the customs of Southern Chu, the special climate of Beiyan, the per capita belligerence of Dayu, and so on.

Gong Yu has never been to these countries, but she was fascinated by what she listened to. The main reason is that Zhou Chen spoke really well, even if Zhou Chen just shared a small interesting story with her, it made her feel very happy.

What Zhou Chen said was too good, but she herself didn't know what to say. She didn't want to tell Zhou Chen about Miaoyinfang, for fear of dirtying Zhou Chen's ears, but she didn't know that Zhou Chen had been to brothels in recent years .

This is ancient times. Brothels are legal. As a decent man, how can he not take a look at such a legal place?

Spend a little money, something that makes everyone happy, and it is considered a good deed. Anyway, he has immune skills, so he doesn't have to worry about infectious diseases and the like.

After hesitating for a long time, Gong Yu still said what he wanted to say.

"Young master, in the past few years in Jinling, I have actually thought about going to the princess mansion, but Mister Shisan disagreed, saying that he was afraid of accidents, but I have inquired about it. It's also calm, no matter how much news I have, I haven't heard it."

Zhou Chen paused, he didn't expect Gong Yu to say such words.

For Princess Pingyang, his memory can be said to occupy a large part. He was raised by this mother since he was a child, and the love between mother and child is deep, so he felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard the title of Princess Pingyang.

Seeing that Zhou Chen was silent, Gong Yu didn't dare to say any more. She was one of the few spies in the Jiang Zuo League who were not from Chi Yan's former branch, but knew the identities of Zhou Chen, Mei Changsu and others.

When she arrived in Jinling City, she wanted to help Zhou Chen visit Princess Pingyang many times, but she didn't dare to act without the orders of Mei Changsu and Mr. Shisan.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Chen finally sighed: "It's fine, Gong Yu, thank you, but you don't need to worry about this matter in the future, Jinling City is in danger, you must ensure your own safety before going there." Listen to the news, understand?"

Zhou Chen's concern warmed Gong Yu's heart, and he nodded obediently.

"Some time ago, I changed a few scores, and I will take them with you when I leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Gong Yu was overjoyed: "Is there a new score? That's great, son, the score you gave me has been sought after by countless people in Jinling City, and many customers only patronize because of your score. We are from Miaoyinfang."

Zhou Chen himself is a master of music. Although the music of later generations is very different from the current one, it can still be adapted into a score suitable for this era with a little more time.

Compared with most of the current music scores, those scores are definitely a dimensionality reduction blow, and they will naturally be sought after by music lovers.

"As long as you like it."

This was just Zhou Chen's casual remark, but he didn't realize the impact this sentence had on Gong Yu.

'I like it?Could it be that the young master created these music scores especially for me? '

Thinking of this, Gong Yu's heart was as sweet as eating honey.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was extremely lively. Many members of Chi Yan's old department scattered all over Jiangzuo came to the headquarters to celebrate the festival, and the staff was even more complete than in previous years.

Almost ten years have passed since the battle of Meiling. After the establishment of the Jiangzuo League, there were many fights with the forces of the rivers and lakes, so the members of Chiyan's old department also suffered losses.

Now in the Jiangzuo League, there are only more than 40 people left in the old Chiyan army. Compared with the [-] Chiyan army, it is really miserable to the extreme.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone left separately. Gong Yu also left Langzhou. She is the top singer of Miaoyinfang. She was able to come back this time because Zhou Chen came back. She begged Mr. Thirteen for a long time, and finally got Mei Chang Su agreed, so he was able to come to Langzhou to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, she naturally couldn't stay longer. Although she was reluctant to give up, she could only bid farewell to Zhou Chen.

Inside the house, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu sat side by side drinking tea and chatting.

"What about Lin Chen, I haven't seen him this morning."

Normally, Lin Chen would come to them in the early morning bluffing, but today there was no movement at all, so Zhou Chen was surprised.

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "He took Fei Liu out to play."

"No wonder."

"By the way, I think Feiliu's Xiyang Jue has been practiced very well. This little guy is indeed a martial arts prodigy. If his potential is not overdrawn by that killer organization, his future achievements will only be higher. It's a pity."

Mei Changsu sighed: "It's a pity, but from another perspective, it may not be a bad thing, at least he met us, otherwise he would only be a tool for killing people."

Zhou Chen said: "It's his luck that Fei Liu followed you."

"It should be my luck. Feiliu has done a lot of things for me and saved me a lot of worry. Are you going to continue traveling when you come back this time?"

"I won't go. I have traveled all over the surrounding countries in the past few years, and recently I stayed at home to rest well. It just so happens that my Pure Yang Art is about to break through."

Mei Changsu asked in surprise, "Are you going to break through again?"

Zhou Chen is already ranked fifth in the list of top ten masters. If he goes further, wouldn't he be able to compete for the top spot?
"Well, when I fought against the golden eagle Chai Ming last year, I also used all my strength to defeat him. In the past six months, my progress has been limited. This is also the biggest bottleneck I have encountered since I practiced Chunyang Jue. If I succeed in breaking through If it is, even if it is Dayu's Xuanbu, I am sure to challenge it."

In the duel between masters, martial arts moves are very important, but internal strength is absolutely dominant. For masters with strong internal strength, martial arts moves will never be bad.

In the battle with Jin Diao Chai Ming, his internal strength actually had the upper hand, but Jin Diao Chai Ming is worthy of being a senior who has been famous for many years. His martial arts moves, timing, and even psychological games are superior to him at that time. One chip, that's why they fought so anxiously and tried their best to win.

Although he lived several times longer than Chai Ming, Chai Ming spent several times as long practicing martial arts, so it is normal that he is not as experienced as Chai Ming.

Dacheng's Chunyang Jue is slightly better than Chai Ming, and when he goes a step further and breaks through to the perfect state of Chunyang Jue, his internal strength will definitely stand at the top of the world.

Xuan Bu and the present Meng Zhi, he has never seen them make a move, but he is confident that as long as he breaks through, he will never be inferior to them.

However, Mei Changsu analyzed calmly: "You don't have to rush to challenge Xuan Bu, even if you really have that strength, to be on the safe side, I think you'd better try it with Brother Meng first, Xuan Bu is a very mysterious person, to him Only the top few on the master list are known."

"Two years ago, I wrote to Brother Meng and asked about the duel between him and Xuan Bu. According to him, it was a fiasco, and he didn't know Xuan Bu's true strength."

Zhou Chen is silent, Meng Zhi is the second best player in the world, needless to say, his strength must be higher than the golden eagle Chai Ming.

It was very difficult for him to beat Chai Ming before, and he probably is not Meng Zhi's opponent now, but Xuan Bu, who can make Meng Zhi lose miserably, is self-evident.

"I just said it casually. Don't pay too much attention to it. You also know how afraid I am of death. If I don't have absolute strength, I won't challenge Xuanbu."

His side mission is to be the first in the two Langya Rankings, which is actually not too difficult for him.

There is Mei Changsu on the list of young masters. For their plan, it is definitely impossible for him to grab the first place of Mei Changsu now, but as long as Mei Changsu completes the verdict, he will choose to be off the list, and he will naturally be the number one at that time. one.

The same goes for the list of top ten gangs, as long as he tells Mei Changsu that he wants the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu will definitely let him be the suzerain without saying a word.

So this task is no longer a problem for him, it's just waiting for time, and the system doesn't set a deadline anyway.

It's just that he said so, but he is not the kind of person who picks up people's tooth and wisdom. Rather than waiting for Mei Changsu to drop off the list, he wants to fight for it himself.

As for the Langya rankings, what he values ​​most is the top ten master rankings.

No text is the first, no martial arts is the second!
Now that he has practiced martial arts, of course he aspires to be number one in the world, and Zhou Chen is no exception.

Taking the number one in the world as the goal of struggle, and striving for the goal is a good thing that is full of fun and enriches oneself.

It is not an easy task to break through to the perfect state of Chunyang Jue, otherwise Zhou Chen would not have been stuck for a year.

In order to seek a breakthrough, Zhou Chen spent the rest of his time in his own yard, not caring about anything, and devoting himself to cultivation.

Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and the new year had passed, but Zhou Chen still hadn't completed the breakthrough. Even though he had polished his inner strength to the extreme, he was always short of a breath, and he still couldn't break through successfully, which made him very distressed.

"Don't frown, you've been too tight these days, come have a cup of tea and relax."

Mei Changsu poured Zhou Chen a cup of tea and served it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen finished his tea and drank it all in one gulp: "I want to relax too, but I just can't. I'm only one step away, but I can't get over it anyway. Do you think it's annoying?"

Mei Changsu said with a smile: "It's really the first time I've seen you distressed like this. To be honest, I don't think it's a bad thing; since you practiced the Chunyang Jue, your journey has been too painful. It went smoothly, I didn’t encounter any setbacks, this is a good thing, but it’s not a good thing, you are too anxious, it’s time to calm down.”

Zhou Chen said: "I understand what you mean, but if you understand it, it's not so easy to do it."

He lived several lifetimes longer than Mei Changsu, so how could he not understand this truth, but as he said, understanding is one thing, being able to do it is another.

It's like a poor beggar who can't even eat, and suddenly there is a gold ingot in front of him. You know that there may be something wrong with this gold ingot, but you still can't resist the temptation of the gold ingot.

His current situation is somewhat similar to this. He has reached the last step, but he can't make it. How can he not be in a hurry.
