Chapter 1465: There is trouble in the post house, the Grand Master takes action
Fan Xian always thought that he was brave enough, but now when compared with Zhou Chen, he found that his courage was not that big at all.
The great master was Niu Bi. He ignored Emperor Qing in Qing State. In Northern Qi, he walked around the palace casually, but the little emperor of Northern Qi didn't say anything.
From Zhou Chen, he truly felt the intimidation and otherworldliness of the Grand Master.
Although he had heard of the other great masters, he had never seen them before. The only one he had seen was Hong Sixiang, who was suspected of being a great master in the Qingguo Palace.
But this suspected great master, Hong Sixiang, was completely defeated when compared with Zhou Chen.
We are both Grand Masters, Zhou Chen is riding on the royal family's head and shit, and you, Hong Sixiang, are still serving as slaves. To be honest, even he feels that Hong Sixiang has lowered the status of the Grand Master.
From his point of view, Zhou Chen may be a little arrogant and bully others with his strength. However, Zhou Chen did not bully the people and did no evil. He was just extraordinary and ignored the imperial power.
But the people in the royal family persecute the people and treat human life as nothing, which is thousands of times more hateful.
He came from 'time travel' and has no respect for the royal family. He is also a warrior, so he feels that there is nothing wrong with Zhou Chen's behavior, but it is a role model for him to work hard.
If he could have Zhou Chen's level of strength, he would not have to worry about this or that, worry about this or that, and when something happens, he would just bulldoze it, which would be much more comfortable than playing around with official power.
But now he can only envy him. Before he became a great master, he still had to live with his tail between his legs in this kind of world.
He secretly asked Haitang Duoduo: "Miss Duoduo, has he always been like this in your palace?"
Haitang Duoduo said: "Otherwise, unless my master takes action, who in this palace can stop him?"
The little emperor snorted coldly: "It is because he is about to accomplish something good with the emperor that I tolerate him. Otherwise, even if he is a grand master, I can mobilize tens of thousands of troops to destroy him."
Fan Xian suppressed a smile with his stern and shy posture: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right, everything he said is right."
"Master Fan, please sit down."
"The foreign minister thanks your Majesty."
…………
Zhou Chen was precariously preparing to leave the palace. Now he was already a famous person in the Northern Qi Palace. Zhan Doudou had already decreed that there was no need to stop Zhou Chen when he saw him, so he was very free in the palace and no one dared to stop him.
After passing through the main hall, Zhou Chen was about to leave the Northern Qi Palace, but when he passed by the imperial stone steps in front of the Northern Qi Dynasty Palace, he unexpectedly saw Wang Qinian and the others.
Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing were talking to Zhong Zhong at this time. Zhong Zhong asked them why the emperor was so polite to Fan Xian. Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing also looked confused.
Suddenly, Wang Qinian saw Zhou Chen who was slowly walking down the steps from above, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Zhenguo Gong."
Teng Zijing and Shen Zhong were also attracted by Wang Qinian's voice. Teng Zijing was also very surprised when he saw Zhou Chen, but he looked heavy and his expression did not change.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he also has people in the palace, so he naturally knows that Zhou Chen often comes in and out of the palace these days.
Although he felt that it was inappropriate to give such treatment to someone from an enemy country like Zhou Chen, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty had no objections, so he couldn't say anything. What's more, Zhou Chen was a great master and he had seen Zhou Chen's power with his own eyes. Dare you have any opinions about Zhou Chen?
"Mr. Zhou."
"Zhenguo Gong."
Both Shen Sheng and Teng Zijing saluted, but Shen Sheng was just showing off, while Teng Zijing was very solemn.
Zhou Chen looked at them, nodded, and asked, "Are you waiting for Fan Xian?"
Wang Qinian immediately replied: "Yes, have you met my master?"
"It's inside. Don't worry, it's okay. I want to go see something. Which one of you will show me the way?"
"I."
"I."
Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing responded at the same time, and then they both glared at each other.
"Teng Zijing, you stay here and wait for me, I will go see the Duke off."
After saying that, without waiting for Teng Zijing to retort, he bowed his waist and asked Zhou Chen for instructions: "Dong Zhenguo, I will see you off. This should be the second time that this villain has led you."
Zhou Chen thought of the scene when he returned to Kyoto, smiled slightly, and asked: "Will you still collect cash this time?"
Wang Qinian immediately licked his face and said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, aren't you slapping me in the face? I don't need any money to show you the way."
"Don't you, Wang Qinian, do business at a loss?"
"Don't squander me. I'm willing to pay any price to serve you, my lord."
Wang Qinian led the way, trying to please Zhou Chen with his mouth, causing Teng Zijing, who was standing still, to curse, "He knows how to flatter".
Arriving outside the palace, Wang Qinian very considerately helped Zhou Chen get into the carriage.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, please slow down."
On the carriage, Zhou Chen asked Wang Qinian who was driving: "Old Wang, are you interested in doing something for me?"
"ah?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Okay, you don't have to answer. I just asked casually. You can drive."
Wang Qinian pulled the reins and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just rejected it in disguise. Although Zhou Chen had a high status and great ability, he felt that Fan Xian was very much in line with his wishes and had never thought of leaving Fan Xian and switching to Zhou Chen. Chen.
He was afraid that Zhou Chen would be dissatisfied, but it seemed that he was overthinking it, and he was just asked casually, if he really wanted subordinates, where could he find someone better than him?
There was no talking all the way, and soon we arrived at the post house where the Qingguo envoy was staying.
As soon as they approached the post house, they heard a burst of noise, and the carriage stopped accordingly.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, our post house is surrounded by people, and the carriage cannot pass."
Wang Qinian's voice came: "These people seem to be here to cause trouble for Lord Fan. It seems that the news about Lord Fan planting a flag and entering the palace has spread. What is going on with the Northern Qi government? I don't know how to come and take care of it.
"
"Mr. Zhen Guo, how about we enter through the back door?"
"What do you think?"
"Of course not, I think. How can a person like you, the Duke, enter through the back door? But there are so many people and the carriage can't pass through?"
Zhou Chen sat in the carriage and didn't even look outside, he just gave orders to Wang Qinian.
"Just go to the gate like this."
Wang Qinian, who was holding the reins, was stunned when he heard the words: "My lord, did I hear it right? You said, just go over like this?"
"Um."
"But what about so many people?"
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll hit you."
"ah?"
Zhou Chen said impatiently: "Don't worry so much. Just give me a warning. If you don't get out of the way, just drive the carriage and hit him."
Wang Qinian scratched his head and looked at the group of people in front of him, wondering if he really wanted to bump into them, but this would make things worse.
So, he immediately shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, everyone in front, don't blame me for not reminding you, the person sitting in my carriage is the Duke of Zhenguo of Daqing and a great master of martial arts, so don't get out of the way quickly."
The group of Northern Qi warriors gathered in front of the post house did not take Wang Qinian seriously at all, and they did not even think of giving way to the carriage.
But when they heard that the person sitting in the carriage was Nanqing's Grand Master Zhou Chen, they were all shocked.
Zhou Chen's battle with Ku He and his battle with Si Gu Jian have already spread throughout the world. Anyone who practices martial arts and has some knowledge basically knows about the five great masters in the world.
Recently, the news that Grand Master Zhou Chen came to Northern Qi and asked to marry the eldest princess has been spread overtly or covertly, so everyone with some ability in Shangjing City knows that Zhou Chen is in Shangjing City at this time.
??????55.??????
They dared to stop Fan Xian's carriage, and they dared to stop anyone from the Qing Kingdom. After all, the law does not punish everyone, but they really didn't dare to stop the Grand Master's carriage.
Therefore, most of the people in the crowd in front of the door involuntarily moved out of the way, wanting to leave a way for the carriage.
But some people just don’t believe in evil.
"Don't believe him, everyone. The person in the carriage must be Fan Xian. He wants to deceive us. Everyone... poof..."
The man who jumped out flew into the air before he finished speaking, spraying a mist of blood from his mouth, scaring the people around him and running away in panic.
"boom!"
His body hit the ground heavily, and after a flutter, there was no movement.
Not to mention the Northern Qi warriors around him, even Wang Qinian on the carriage was shocked. He didn't feel anything and he was already dead. The Grand Master was too scary.
"The Grand Master is angry, why don't you get out of the way quickly?"
This time Wang Qinian yelled again, and the lethality was much greater. Everyone hurriedly backed away, for fear of being a step too late and making the same mistake again.
Soon, a spacious road opened up. Wang Qinian drove the carriage to the door of the post house, and then quickly placed the sedan chair next to the carriage.
Zhou Chen slowly walked out of the carriage and glanced at the surrounding Northern Qi warriors. No one dared to look directly into his eyes.
Some people who had seen Zhou Chen and Zhou Chen recognized Zhou Chen, and they didn't dare to say anything.
Tiger Guard Gundam, who was in charge of guarding the gate at the entrance of the inn, looked at this scene with dumbfounded eyes. How chaotic these people were just now, now it is so strange how quiet these people are.
The intimidating power of the Grand Master is so terrifying!
"Challenge is a challenge, but don't block the road."
Zhou Chen just said this, and then took Wang Qinian into the post house.
The Northern Qi warriors at the door looked at each other in confusion at first, and then they all started to get orderly, the noise was not so loud, and they even started to line up automatically.
After entering the post house, the members of the mission who learned about Zhou Chen's arrival came to see Zhou Chen one after another.
"Zhenguo Gong."
"I've met Duke Zhen Guo."
"…………"
Although they had no friendship with Zhou Chen, or even met him, Zhou Chen's appearance had a great calming effect on them, and they even felt more secure than Fan Xian, the envoy of the mission.
.
Fan Xian is famous all over the world, but his name is his talent, and Zhou Chen, as a grand master, is a real deterrent with strength. How can talent and reputation compare to the deterrence of strength in the enemy's territory?
Zhou Chen didn't know these people either, but he responded politely.
Wang Qinian took Zhou Chen to the room where the items were stored.
"Mr. Zhen Guo, all your things are here. I've been keeping an eye on them along the way. I haven't lost any of them. Please take a look."
Some of these things were selected by Zhou Chen personally, and some were selected based on the rules and etiquette of wedding gifts in this world. He took a few glances and found that there was nothing wrong with them.
"Thank you for your hard work along the way. I have already given you a reward of 10,000 taels. If you want it, you can go to your family."
Wang Qinian patted his chest with a righteous look on his face: "Look at what you said, how can a villain ask for money to do things for you? These are all things I do willingly."
"To be honest, Lao Wang, you are really understating your talents to be a clerk in the Institute of Appraisal. With your ability, you can be a director in the Institute of Appraisal."
"Oh, you really think highly of a villain. How can a villain have such abilities? It would be great to be a clerk." Wang Qinian was very modest.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Put your things in order. Tomorrow I will go to the Northern Qi Palace to propose marriage. Then you can bring a few people with me."
"Shall I go with you?"
"What, you're not happy?"
"No no."
Wang Qinian waved his hands hurriedly and said sheepishly: "It's just my family."
"I'm just borrowing your time for a day, he won't have any objections."
"Then the little guy will be fine."
Wang Qinian's attempt to please Zhou Chen actually had no purpose. He just wanted to have a familiar face in front of Zhou Chen, which might be useful if something happened in the future.
Of course, the reason why he is like this is because he sees Zhou Chen as a kind person who keeps his word, unlike those high-ranking, cold-blooded big shots.
Big people have their own way of living, and small people like them also have their own way of life.
"Then I will come over tomorrow, and then you can arrange for someone to help me transport these things."
"My lord, please rest assured that I will make all arrangements for you."
Zhou Chen said with satisfaction: "I don't like to treat people badly. Since you are so cheerful, if you encounter any danger in Shangjing City, I allow you to borrow my name."
Wang Qinian was immediately overjoyed. The title of Grand Master was very useful. With Zhou Chen protecting him, even if Northern Qi wanted to attack them, they would have to think carefully.
"Thank you very much, Lord Zhenguo."
"Let's go, take me to Zhuang Mansion."
"Yes, sir."
Back at Zhuang Mansion, Zhuang Mohan was still studying in the study.
Zhuang Mohan now spends most of his time studying the two books given to him by Zhou Chen. Although the two books do not have many words, his annotations word for word are different every time.
The harvest made him happy.
At the same time, he also studied the poems that Fan Xian recited. Now he doesn't even leave the house, and he is even more of an otaku than the otakus of later generations.
Except for the occasional visit from a few old friends, which he only meets once in a while, he basically doesn't see the rest of them very much now.
Only every time Zhou Chen came back, he would drag Zhou Chen to the study room with him.
In the past, he only thought that Zhou Chen's literary talent was outstanding, but now he understood that he might be older than Zhou Chen, but the knowledge and vision in Zhou Chen's mind definitely exceeded his. Zhou Chen could not understand some of the problems that he usually couldn't understand.
Chen can explain it to him.
In his words, what he was most fortunate about in his later years was that he met Zhou Chen, his old friend, which made his life a lot more fun.
Early the next morning, when Zhou Chen arrived at the door of the post house in a carriage, Fan Xian had already brought someone to greet him at the door.
"Zhenguo Gong."
"Fan Xian, Wang Qinian wants to borrow my help today. He must have told you."
Fan Xian immediately said: "As I said, Lord Zhen Guo, you don't need to be so polite. If you need anything, just give your order. We will never say anything."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Okay, let me remind you, it is not easy for you to deal with the heavy weight, but I believe that with your ability, it will only be a matter of time before you defeat him, just think it's me talking too much."
."
Fan Xian: "What are you saying, Duke Zhenguo? Your reminder is very important to me. If you can even say that it is not easy to deal with, then I will definitely not dare to be careless."
"Old Wang, are the Duke's things ready?"
"Ready, coming, coming."
Wang Qinian appeared with a motorcade filled with betrothal gifts that Zhou Chen needed.
After everything was ready, Fan Xian blessed Zhou Chen and said, "Mr. Zhen Guo, then I wish you success and all your wishes come true."
"Thank you for your blessing, Wang Qinian, let's go."
Wang Qinian was responsible for driving the carriage for Zhou Chen, and the convoy behind him followed the carriage, slowly heading towards the Northern Qi Palace.
