"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to Young Master Xiao because of my affairs today."
Zhou Chen saluted Xiao Jingrui and expressed his apology. Although it was unintentional, it was true that everyone in the tea shop suffered because of him.
Xiao Jingrui immediately said: "Young master, don't worry about it. What you did was to do justice for heaven and do good deeds. It is actually because the people of the Ba Dao Sect were too domineering and did whatever they wanted, that it became like this."
"Having said that, I can't escape my responsibility. Mr. Xiao, I'll deal with it first and talk to you in detail later."
As he said that, he walked towards the dead guests. Five people died in total, but most of them had already escaped, and only two people were still standing guard next to the corpses.
These two people should be relatives and friends of the deceased. Zhou Chen politely expressed his apology to them, and then took out gold as compensation.
Facing Zhou Chen's apology and compensation, these two people did not dare not accept it. The group just now was so domineering and arrogant, but they were still dealt with by Zhou Chen repeatedly. They did not dare to complain or abuse such a strong man.
What's more, Zhou Chen also paid gold compensation. For businessmen like them, this is a large amount of money, 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 and we are still in troubled times, human life is even less valuable.
Zhou Chen found the tea shop owner again and made appropriate compensation.
The tea shop owner was also a sensible person, he was very polite and respectful, and after several attempts to evade the offer, he finally accepted the compensation and promised to take care of the body.
Xiao Jingrui had been following Zhou Chen, watching how Zhou Chen handled these funeral affairs, and he admired Zhou Chen even more.
Although he yearns for loyalty and often travels in the arena, from what he has seen, the vast majority of people in the arena are not good people, and there are very few decent people.
Like Zhou Chen, who kills enemies with thunderous means, but when faced with ordinary people who have been implicated by him, he can bend down to apologize and compensate. There is no coercion in his words, nor is he condescending, treating ordinary people as nothing.
Therefore, he had a very good impression of Zhou Chen and felt that people like Zhou Chen were the heroes he had always admired and respected.
At this moment, his desire to make friends was even greater.
"Jing Rui admires the young master's charitable heart very much." Xiao Jingrui said to Zhou Chen with respect.
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and invited Xiao Jingrui to sit down at the table in the tea shop.
"It's not charity. These people suffered because of me. I just want to feel clear about it."
Although he has done a lot of charity, he never considered himself a good person. To be honest, his hands were stained with countless blood, and countless innocent people died in his hands because of his different stances.
If these people had not died because of him today, he would most likely sit idly by and ignore it. As he said, these people died because of him. He did this more to make himself feel clear about his conscience.
do good things.
Xiao Jingrui didn't feel anything inappropriate at all, and still said: "Even so, the young master's actions are extraordinary and can be compared to those in the world."
Having watched the TV series, Zhou Chen naturally knows what kind of person Xiao Jingrui is. Looking at the entire Nirvana in Fire, there are only a few who can be considered a gentleman, and Xiao Jingrui is definitely the most outstanding one.
The future Langya Ranking will rank Xiao Jingrui second on the Young Master Ranking, which is very fair.
In fact, he and Xiao Jingrui also knew each other. They had met many times when they were children, but those had become memories of the past.
"I have heard of Mr. Xiao's name for a long time. It is truly admirable that Mr. Xiao can abandon the aristocratic life in Jinling City and walk alone in the world."
Traveling in the world may sound like a way to increase your knowledge, but in reality, it is more of a suffering. How can it compare to the prosperous world of Daliang Capital City?
Xiao Jingrui said: "Young Master and I hit it off right away. My brother directly called me Jingrui. My friends all call me that."
Zhou Chen said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then I will ask you to call me Jingrui. You don't need to call me son-in-law. My real name is Chen Yu."
"Then I will call my brother Brother Yu."
Of course Zhou Chen wouldn't mind. In just a short while, the relationship between the two became much closer. Both parties had a mutual understanding, and it was very easy to chat.
Zhou Chen had been away from Daliang for a long time. Although he occasionally contacted Mei Changsu through Jiangzuo League, he didn't know much about the situation in Jinling City.
Now through chatting with Xiao Jingrui, I have learned a lot about the current situation of Jinling City.
It can be said that the two hit it off immediately, and for the next half month, they traveled together in the same world.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Xiao Jingrui took the initiative to talk about this matter with Zhou Chen.
"Brother Yu, it's Jingrui's blessing to be able to travel the world with you. However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and my parents and relatives at home are still waiting for me to go back for reunion, so tomorrow I will go to Jinling. Let me tell you in advance, Brother Yu.
One sound."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen said with a smile: "The Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion of relatives, is indeed a matter worthy of joy and celebration. I came back from Dayu not long ago to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with my friends. In this case, let's
Let’s say goodbye in advance today.”
"Thank you, Brother Yu, for your understanding. Traveling around the world with Brother Yu has been the happiest time for me in the past few years."
In the past, when Xiao Jingrui traveled around the world, he was basically alone. Even if he met friends with similar interests, he would only get together for three or four days at most. This was the first time that he had been traveling together with Zhou Chen for half a month.
"If Brother Yu is free in the future, you can come to Jinling to stay for a while. I will definitely treat you warmly."
Zhou Chen responded with a smile: "Then it's settled, I may actually go to Jinling City for a walk in the future. Then Jingrui, don't pretend you don't know me."
"Brother Yu is joking."
Early the next morning, Zhou Chen and Xiao Jingrui said goodbye to each other.
After spending half a month together, Zhou Chen got to know a lot about Xiao Jingrui. Xiao Jingrui's temperament is indeed similar to that in the TV series. He is a person worth getting to know deeply. If you get to know him, you will never have to worry about being taken advantage of by him.
If Fei Liu is simple and has an innocent heart, then Xiao Jingrui is a humble gentleman with an innocent heart. Being with him really makes you feel as comfortable as a refreshing breeze.
But for such an outstanding person, he 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 traces and headed towards the border of Jiangzuo.
Before returning, he contacted Mei Changsu through letters and said he would arrive in Langzhou before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Jiangzuo League is now the absolute overlord of the fourteen states of Jiangzuo, and in order to facilitate management, Mei Changsu moved the headquarters of the Jiangzuo League to Langzhou.
However, the Jiangzuo League has branches in the fourteen prefectures of Jiangzuo, and there are also several branches outside the fourteen prefectures.
Under the leadership of Mei Changsu, the Jiangzuo Alliance is no longer a simple Jianghu force. It has strict discipline and is comparable to the army.
Zhou Chen hurriedly 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's former Chi Yan tribe, as well as Lin Chen and Gong Yu.
Zhou Chen greeted Mei Changsu and others one by one. They had not 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 are you here during the Mid-Autumn Festival instead of accompanying Master at Langya Mountain?"
Lin Chen's long hair was messy and he looked unruly. Hearing Zhou Chen's words, he immediately complained.
"My father went down the mountain to travel two years ago and has never come back. I felt so lonely spending the Mid-Autumn Festival alone in the mountain, so I came down to see you. Please tell me how you came back.
Well, you went on a trip, and my father also went on a trip, leaving all the affairs of Langya Pavilion to me alone, but it exhausted me 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 training? Junior brother, let's talk about it. How about we switch? You go up the mountain to manage Langya Pavilion, and I go down the mountain to travel. How about that?"
"What you think is quite beautiful."
Zhou Chen glanced at him. The master of Langya Pavilion thought he was majestic and respected, but the pain involved was not something outsiders could understand.
After all, you have to keep so much information in your mind. This is a tiring job, and he doesn't want to accept this.
After everyone chatted for a while, Mei Changsu said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's have a good gathering at noon and evening. Xiao Chen just rushed back today and must be very tired. Let's go back first.
."
Wei Zheng and 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.
"Changsu, junior brother, he has just come back, but I don't know if he is tired or not. Anyway, if it were me, I would not feel tired no matter how tired I am when I see the beauty in front of me."
Before, he only knew that Gong Yu was an important figure in the Jiang Zuo Alliance, otherwise he would not have appeared here.
But ever since Zhou Chen appeared, Gong Yu's eyes have never left Zhou Chen. Sometimes he is happy, sometimes melancholy, sometimes tender...
Although he is not married, he has high emotional intelligence. How could he not notice Gong Yu's obvious performance?
Mei Changsu shook his head helplessly. As for Wei Zheng and the others, they were all suppressing their laughter. They did not dare to laugh at Zhou Chen's face, otherwise Zhou Chen's fists would not recognize people. The sum of them together would not be enough for Zhou Chen.
of.
Gong Yu's cheeks turned slightly red after being told by Lin Chen, but he still stood where he was and did not flee out of shyness.
Zhou Chen kicked Lin Chen angrily, but Lin Chen dodged.
"Hey, you can't kick me, you can't kick me."
His tone was full of ridicule, and he shouted as he ran: "Miss Gong Yu, I leave my junior brother to you. If he bullies you, just tell me that I am his senior brother and see how I teach him a lesson."
