Chapter 829 Emperor Liang's decree, Daliang Palace, Zhou Chen's plan

In the snow cottage of Xie Mansion, Zhou Chen and his party were sitting in the courtyard talking.

Because the preliminary test was over, Zhou Chen accepted Xiao Jingrui's invitation and came to Xie's mansion, and everyone gathered in the Snow Cottage.

Bailiqi's battle today was so amazing that even after Yan Yujin came back, he was still chattering about it.

Both he and Xiao Jingrui took part in the initial test, and they were both in the top ten, so they were eligible to take part in the literary test, but Bailiqi's external skills were too strong, and even if they combined, there was no chance of winning.

Both of them have a very good relationship with Princess Nihuang. Naturally, they can't see Princess Nihuang marrying a rough man like Bailiqi, so they are trying to figure out how to deal with it.

On the contrary, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were very calm, and they didn't look anxious at all.

Yan Yujin saw that only he and Xiao Jingrui were in a hurry to get angry, and Mei Changsu didn't move at all. After all, he had nothing to do with Princess Nihuang, but when he saw that Zhou Chen was also indifferent, he couldn't sit still. live.

"Brother Yu, don't you worry at all?"

Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Yujin, I've already explained that I really have nothing to do with Princess Nihuang, why don't you believe me?"

Yu Jin didn't speak, but his expression already explained the problem. How could he believe that the princess Nihuang went to find Gong Yu that day, and he was the one who took it with him, and that day when Mu Qing went to trouble Zhou Chen, he was also there.

Under such circumstances, how could he believe what Zhou Chen said.

"Brother Yu, do you have any good ways to help Sister Nihuang out of her current predicament?"

Zhou Chen said: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Princess Nihuang herself is not in a hurry, which means she is already prepared, so I don't have to worry about it."

"Is that right?"

Yan Yujin looked suspicious, and exchanged glances with Xiao Jingrui.

Seeing that Zhou Chen couldn't make up his mind, Yan Yujin looked at Mei Changsu again. He felt that Mei Changsu must be called a talented unicorn, and he must be worthy of the name, and maybe he could find a way.

"Brother Su, is there nothing you can do?"

Mei Changsu replied calmly: "If you want me to think of a way, you have to meet Bailiqi at the emperor's palace banquet tomorrow, then I can plan it. Now I haven't seen anyone, so I just listen to you." , can you think of a way?"

After hearing this, Yan Yujin also felt that it made sense, so he didn't continue to ask, but started to think of a way by himself.

In the end, he thought of a way to let Xiao Jingrui challenge Bailiqi, because Xiao Jingrui's name was obtained after the prince's name, and those who don't know the details probably think that Xiao Jingrui is the prince.

But Mei Changsu quickly shattered their illusions. Xiao Jingrui is a famous person. As long as he pays attention, it will be easy to investigate information about him.

As they talked, they talked about Xiao Jingrui's identity. Yan Yujin told Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen what he knew about Xiao Jingrui as if he were telling a story.

Although Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu already knew this secret, they still listened carefully to Yan Yujin's explanation.

Suddenly, a servant came to report that Prince Mu came to visit and asked to see Zhou Chen by name.

Xiao Jingrui looked at Zhou Chen: "It seems that the young prince Mu already knows that you are here. Brother Yu, do you want to see him? If you don't want to see him, I'll deal with him."

Zhou Chen said: "If you send him away this time, he will come to me again. Forget it, let him come over."

It didn't take long for Mu Qing to be taken to the Snow Cottage by the servants of the Xie Mansion. As soon as he saw Zhou Chen, he rushed over.

"Brother Yu, I know you're capable, so hurry up and find a way to deal with that Bailiqi, I'm going to get angry when I see him now."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, pointed at him a few days ago and yelled at him, and today he started yelling at Brother Yu again, this kid is indeed shameless.

"What can I do to solve it? Lord Mu, you have found the wrong person."

Mu Qing laughed and said: "Brother Yu, I know you are still angry with me, I did speak too much last time, I apologize to you; but this time is different, this is a lifelong event related to my sister, you I can’t ignore it, I’ve thought about it, His Majesty will hold a palace banquet tomorrow, let’s go and slaughter that Bailiqi tonight, then I will let people hold back those envoys and officials, with Brother Yu’s ability, It will definitely kill Bailiqi."

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched: "This is what you think? Then have you ever thought that if we do this, the imperial court will let us go?"

Mu Qing said: "We will cover our faces when the time comes, and who will know that we did it? Don't be afraid if there is no evidence. If you take ten thousand steps back, even if you are exposed, we will flee back to the southern border..."

Now even Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin couldn't bear it anymore, Prince Mu was really straightforward in his actions, he really didn't use his brain at all.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Mu Qing's words became bolder, Zhou Chen hurriedly coughed to stop him. If he really wanted to keep talking like this, he might even be able to say the words of rebellion.

He knew that Mu Qing was a sister-in-law, and he could really do this kind of thing for his sister Mu Nihuang.

"I think you should quickly pinch this idea. Do you really think that we can kill Bailiqi under heavy protection?"

Mu Qing said anxiously: "Then what else do you think can be done? If you have something easy to do, just say it quickly, I'm going to die of anxiety."

He was really anxious, but he just couldn't figure out why sister and brother Yu were not in a hurry at all.

"Brother Yu, you..."

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted Mu Qing, only to see Xie Bi, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ningguo, running over in a hurry.

"Xie Bi, why are you here?" Xiao Jingrui got up and asked.

Xie Bi said anxiously: "Your Majesty sent an oral order to invite Chen Yu, Mr. Chen, into the palace."

"What? Let me go to the palace to face the saint?"

Zhou Chen stared in astonishment at Xie Bi who came to tell the news.

Xie Bi said: "Yes, I want you to leave immediately."

Xiao Jingrui showed concern: "Xie Bi, what's going on here? How could His Majesty know about Brother Yu? You want to call Brother Yu into the palace, what's going on?"

Xie Bi looked blank: "I don't know what's going on, but Your Majesty asked Mr. Chen to enter the palace immediately without delay."

The emperor summoned him suddenly, and this matter made everyone present very worried. No one knew why the emperor wanted to see Zhou Chen.

The same was true for Mei Changsu, he also couldn't figure out why Emperor Liang summoned Zhou Chen when Zhou Chen obviously didn't do anything, and it was at this special time.

Zhou Chen glanced at Mei Changsu and nodded slightly.

After the decree has come down, naturally he can't escape, this time he must enter the palace.

"Thank you, son, but I have never been in the palace, so I don't know what the procedure is?"

Xie Bi said: "The imperial guards and the inner prisoner came to the mansion. On the way there, the inner prisoner will definitely tell you the process and what to pay attention to."

Zhou Chen nodded, and was about to leave Xuelu with Xie Bi.

At this moment, Mei Changsu said, "Brother Yu, don't worry too much, Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and will definitely not make things difficult for you."

Zhou Chen understood Mei Changsu's meaning, this sudden summoning was too strange, Mei Changsu told him to hold on, don't act aggressively.

He secretly laughed in his heart, this Xiao Shu was probably really afraid that he would not be able to control himself for a while, and violently assassinate Emperor Liang.

Under the worried gazes of Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin and Mu Qing, Zhou Chen followed Xie Bi and left the Snow Cottage.

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Mu Qing immediately said, "No, I have to go back and tell my sister about it."

After speaking, he left in a hurry without saying hello to Mei Changsu and the others.

It really came and went in a hurry.

Zhou Chen went to the palace with a team of forbidden soldiers and an inner eunuch. On the way there, the inner eunuch explained to Zhou Chen the rules of meeting Emperor Liang in detail. Zhou Chen also stuffed a sachet for the eunuch tactfully The smile on the eunuch's face grew wider.

Of course he has been to the Daliang Palace, but that was more than ten years ago, but he has been to the Forbidden City many times in later generations, and it is equally magnificent.

However, unlike the Daliang Palace and the Forbidden City of later generations, this place is more simple and solemn. At a glance, there are soldiers of the Imperial Army and eunuchs and maids everywhere.

Zhou Chen has been observing all the way. He doesn't know why Emperor Liang is looking for him, but he must prepare for the worst. If he has to do something later, he must think of a good escape route.

It's just that the palace is too big. He walked all the way and passed many places, and his face became more and more dignified. As expected of the palace, the defense is too strict.

In the past, when watching TV dramas, especially martial arts TV dramas, I could always see those martial arts masters could enter and leave the palace casually, as if it was easy to steal something into the palace.

But after observing along the way, he realized that the novel TV is just a novel TV. With this defense, no matter how strong a master comes in, there is no possibility of escaping unless someone cooperates inside and outside.

Soon, Zhou Chen followed the inner eunuch to a side hall, and Emperor Liang summoned him, so naturally he would not go to the main hall of the Dachaohui.

Let Zhou Chen wait at the door, and the inner prisoner went in to report, and after a while, there was a voice from inside.

"Xuan Chenyu enters the palace!"

Under the leadership of the little eunuch, Zhou Chen walked into the side hall, and then followed the rules the little eunuch said.

"See Your Majesty!"

Reluctantly and unwillingly kneeling down, he thought to himself, let's take it as a condolence to Emperor Liang in advance.

Emperor Liang looked at Zhou Chen, and saw Zhou Chen's handsome face, excellent figure and posture, and was quite satisfied in his heart.

"You look pretty good, are you Chen Yu who is known as 'Gong Zi Yu'?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's right here."

"Get up!"

Emperor Liang signaled Zhou Chen to get up, and then said: "I heard from Meng Qing that you are outstanding in martial arts, and you are ranked seventh in the Jianghu Langya master list?"

Zhou Chen said modestly: "In front of Your Majesty, I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed. It is just Langya Pavilion's unilateral evaluation. In fact, there are countless people in the world who are better than me in martial arts."

"Well, she's also humble, with outstanding martial arts skills and a literati style, not bad, not bad."

Emperor Liang praised first, but then changed the topic: "I heard that you watched the martial arts competition with Jingrui and the others in Yingfeng Tower these few days. You must have seen Bailiqi's martial arts. Compared with you, do you think he is stronger or weaker? ?”

Zhou Chen didn't expect Emperor Liang to ask such a question, and immediately realized that Emperor Liang summoned him this time, most likely for the important matter of choosing a son-in-law for Princess Nihuang.

"This?"

The question came so suddenly that he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Emperor Liang suddenly said in a deep voice: "To tell the truth, if there is any concealment, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhou Chen was upset, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. He knew that Emperor Liang was cruel and regarded human life like nothing. If his answer did not satisfy him, no one knew what he would do.

When your own life is at stake, you must be cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed seen Bailiqi's horizontal kung fu. I have traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, and it is very small to be able to practice horizontal kung fu to his level. If you let me fight him, if it is life and death, I am sure. They must win, but if it’s just a competition, it’s hard to say.”

All the people present showed doubts on their faces, and Emperor Liang asked, "How do you say this?"

Zhou Chen said: "If it's a matter of life and death, then of course he will do everything he can. Although Bailiqi has high martial arts skills, he can tell from a glance that his IQ is not very high. Uh, IQ means smart, that is to say, he is not very smart. ;So killing an unintelligent master is much easier than killing a smart master."

"But if it's just for learning, some methods are not suitable for use. It is inevitable that you will have scruples when you make a move. If you succeed, you will not be able to exert [-]% or [-]% of your power, so I dare not say victory."

Everyone present understood what Zhou Chen meant, but Emperor Liang still asked Meng Zhi, who was in charge of martial arts present.

"Meng Qing, is what he said true?"

Meng Zhi immediately turned around and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty, what he said is correct, there is indeed a big difference between sparring and sharing life and death."

Emperor Liang nodded and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked again: "Chen Yu, if I ask you to replace one of the top ten in this son-in-law selection meeting tomorrow, and then let you challenge Baili in front of the palace?" Qi, it doesn't matter whether you live or die, but don't use despicable means, maybe you can defeat Bailiqi?"

Zhou Chen pretended to ponder: "If this is the case, Your Majesty, I can only say that I am [-] to [-]% sure."

"it is good."

Emperor Liang slapped the table happily. In his opinion, he was [-]% to [-]% sure, and basically it was almost done.

"Chen Yu, if you can beat Bailiqi tomorrow, I will definitely reward you a lot."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen thanked loudly.

Emperor Liang said: "Then you will enter the palace with Jingrui and the others tomorrow, and you can leave now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen got the order and left quickly. It's really uncomfortable to stay in this broken place.

Standing aside, the crown prince and Yu Wang, who hadn't finished speaking all this time, had twinkling eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked out of the palace, he was taken aback by the situation outside.

I saw a few carriages parked not far away, and after he came out, a group of eyes stared at him.

Mei Changsu, Mu siblings, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xie Bi, Feiliu.

Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were the most impatient and ran over first.

"Brother Yu, you finally came out, I was so worried."

"Brother Yu, are you all right? Your Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, did you?"

Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu also stepped forward to inquire. Although Mu Nihuang didn't speak, her eyes never left Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you all here? I'm fine. Your Majesty came to see me because one of the top ten in the first test of the son-in-law selection meeting had an accident and couldn't attend tomorrow's palace banquet, so I was asked to replace him." location, I will go to the banquet with you tomorrow."

"what?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was dumbfounded. They were all worried about Bailiqi before, but they didn't expect Zhou Chen to explode such a big thing all of a sudden.

Mu Qing jumped up excitedly: "Great, Brother Yu, if you participate, you don't have to worry about Bailiqi, that's great."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also showed joyful faces, Xiao Jingrui was better, he had seen Zhou Chen's ability to some extent, but Yan Yujin had never seen it.

It's just that he was so happy to see Mu Qing, who was most worried about Mu Nihuang, obviously full of confidence in Zhou Chen's strength.

Only Mei Changsu couldn't help frowning, Zhou Chen was not included in his plan, Emperor Liang now let Zhou Chen participate, which directly disrupted his plan.

He didn't know how Emperor Liang told Zhou Chen, but he knew that Zhou Chen must have paid something to come out safely, but it's hard for him to ask now.

"Brother Yu, it's getting late. Since we have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, everyone should go back and rest first."

Xiao Jingrui agreed: "Yes, yes, everyone go back first."

Only then did Mu Nihuang speak: "Qing'er, let's go, go back."

Mu Qing turned his face away, and then said flatteringly: "Sister, I haven't seen Brother Yu for a long time, why don't you go back first, and Brother Yu and I will go there to catch up."

After finishing speaking, he kept winking at Mu Nihuang. Mu Nihuang didn't know what he was up to, but thought that Mu Qing might trick Zhou Chen out, so he agreed.

He left a sentence of "must go back tonight", and then left.

Zhou Chen looked at Mu Qing who had come down: "Why are you staying? I don't have time to catch up with you."

Mu Qing laughed and said, "It's okay, then I'll play with Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yan."

Xiao Jingrui smiled, and didn't refuse, but said to Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, let's go back to Snow Cottage first, okay?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Yes."

Mei Changsu said, "Brother Yu, you are tired too, why don't you ride in the carriage with me."

"no problem."

A group of people rode horses and drove away from the palace gate.

In the carriage, Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen both looked serious, and let Fei Liu stand guard outside the carriage, while they talked about the affairs in the palace.

Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu all the process and experience just now. After Mei Changsu listened, he pinched the hem of his clothes and carefully figured it out.

"In the circumstances at that time, there was nothing wrong with the choice you made. Although denying and refusing may not necessarily cause accidents, you are not afraid of [-], just in case."

Zhou Chen asked: "Then what are you going to do now? If I really make a move tomorrow and beat Bailiqi, your rescue plan will be invalidated. But if you can't beat Bailiqi, with Emperor Liang's indifferent Personality, definitely won't let me go."

"Yeah, it's a dilemma now, but saving lives can be postponed, but you must not have an accident."

"Then you mean, give up saving people and let me beat Bailiqi? No, absolutely not."

Zhou Chen refused without hesitation, he thought more, if he beat Bailiqi, and Mu Nihuang suddenly chose him, what would he do if Emperor Liang gave him a marriage?
So this must never happen.

"Then you have a better idea?"

Mei Changsu was also aware of Zhou Chen's thoughts, but it happened so suddenly, he had thoughts in his heart, but it was too risky, Zhou Chen was his best friend, and he didn't want Zhou Chen to take any risk.

Zhou Chen squinted his eyes. Just as he walked out of the palace, he was already thinking about countermeasures, and he also thought of a way.

"You said, if I had an accident and couldn't go to the palace tomorrow, what would happen?"

Mei Changsu instantly understood Zhou Chen's meaning: "You want to create an accident yourself? But His Majesty is not stupid, it's not that easy."

"Yes, but now we have no choice. To prevent me from going to the palace tomorrow, there must be a seamless reason. I thought of one. You can see if it works."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu his thoughts. After hearing this, Mei Changsu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and his heart was full of war between heaven and man.

　It's cloudy today, my neck hurts, my back hurts, my legs hurt, I really can't write, that's all!
