After the breakthrough, he learned that Mei Changsu had gone to Jinling City, so Zhou Chen didn't delay any more and set off from Haizhou towards Jinling.
Zhou Chen was looking forward to going to Jinling, but he was also a little nervous.
It has been twelve years since he traveled to this world, and the curtain he has been waiting for is finally about to begin.
He was nervous because there were people in Jinling City that he didn't know how to face, such as his mother who had never been masked since he time traveled, Mu Nihuang who was participating in the son-in-law selection contest, and even his best friend Mei Changsu
.
Thinking of these people, Zhou Chen felt very melancholy and sighed slightly. No matter what, he would have to face these things sooner or later.
He has experienced hundreds of years of life and encountered many difficult things. If you really compare them, these are not big things.
While he was quietly enjoying tea and resting, he suddenly heard a commotion in the inn, followed by various discussions. He pricked up his ears and listened, and his face suddenly showed surprise.
"Prajna is the true master of Jiangdong, and Chu Pingping is the beauty of Langya."
It turns out that the people being talked about are also celebrities in the world. One is Prajna Prajna, the master of Jiangdong who is currently tenth on the list of Langya masters, and the other is Chu Pingping who was on the list of Langya beauties in the past. However, after she got married to Prajna
After that, it has been off the list for more than two years.
The couple ended up in this small town somehow. Zhou Chen had been traveling around the world and knew a lot about the news in the world. As far as he knew, after they got married, they rarely acted in the world.
Normally, Zhou Chen would still be somewhat interested and go over to make friends, but now, he has to rush to Jinling, so he has given up on making friends.
He has fought against several strong men on the Langya master list. Now that his martial arts has improved greatly, the opponents in his eyes are now among the top three masters.
On the other hand, he was really curious about the beauties from the Langya Pavilion in the past. After all, it was the beauty list compiled by Langya Pavilion, and the quality and level were definitely the same.
Speaking of the beauties on Langya List, he has seen a few of them.
For example, a few years ago he and Wei Zheng went to Yaowang Valley to get medicine, and met Yun Piao Liao, who had been on the Langya beauty list for ten years.
There is also the girl Banbo whom I met by chance on the Qinhuai River, and the royal maiden I met in Nanchu...
Without exception, these women who are on the top ten beauties list are all good. They are not only good-looking, but also have their own talents and characteristics. They are not just ranked on the list based on their appearance.
However, there are many who are no worse than those on these beauty lists, such as Mu Nihuang, the princess of Nihuang Princess, Gong Yu who admires Zhou Chen, and...
When I think about it like this, my mind wanders a little far.
Sure enough, as soon as a person eats and drinks enough, he will be satisfied and satisfied.
After not staying long at the inn, Zhou Chen got up and left after resting. He was not far from Jinling City. According to his speed, he would arrive in two days.
But when he was holding the horse and about to leave the city, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Gongziyu."
When he heard someone calling him, Zhou Chen turned around in surprise, and then saw a man and a woman slowly walking towards him.
The man is handsome and elegant, while the woman is made of silk and has a graceful figure. Her face is covered with a layer of gauze and her hair is tied up, showing that she is already someone else's wife.
Although Zhou Chen had never seen these two people before, he remembered the discussion he had just heard in the inn and suddenly knew something in his heart. He let go of the reins and cupped his hands.
"It turns out to be Mr. Ban and his wife, Mr. Jiangdong, whose names Chen Yu has admired for a long time."
Prajna Zhen and Chu Pingping both bowed slightly, Prajna Zhen even smiled like a spring breeze: "I have admired the name of Gong Ziyu for a long time. It is truly an honor for me and my wife to meet you today. I wonder if I can tell you, Gong Zi Yu?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Brother Ban invited me, how can I not obey my order? Please."
"please."
…………
Xia Dong followed the order of Emperor Liang and went to Binzhou to investigate the Qingguo public land invasion case.
Because she was involved in the heirloom between the crown prince and Prince Yu at this time, she was very cautious. Although she had Emperor Liang's order and was a special envoy, she knew that this case was extraordinary. If it was found out, the entire Qingguo family would suffer, so
Once the Qingguo family knew that she was going to investigate, they might have some bold ideas.
For her own safety and to investigate the truth, she decided to act secretly and not let anyone know her situation and whereabouts.
With one person and one horse, she changed her appearance and transformed into an ordinary person in the world. At this time, she was wearing a black robe and seemed to be having a meal. In fact, she had been scanning around with her peripheral vision to see if there was anything suspicious.
As the commander of the Xuanjing Division, this has long been a habit, not to mention that this operation is so important.
There were also several men with swords in the inn, who looked like people from the world of martial arts.
Suddenly, a person rushed in from outside and ran excitedly to the table of those people in the world.
"Brother, when I just went to feed the horses, I heard that a big event happened outside the city. Gongziyu and Mr. Jiangdong are going to compete outside the city. It seems that Mr. Jiangdong is challenging Gongziyu."
The group of Jianghu people suddenly exclaimed: "What? Gong Ziyu who is seventh on the top ten masters list and Prajna who is tenth on the Jiangdong Gongzi list?"
"Yes, that's them. Many of them have already gone outside the city. Brother, let's go there quickly. The showdown between the Langya List masters will definitely be exciting and cannot be missed."
The middle-aged man, who was called Big Brother, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Afterwards, they hurriedly left the inn and headed out of the city.
Xia Dong frowned. She heard clearly the conversation between those Jianghu people just now.
Both Gong Ziyu and Prajna Zhen are well-known figures in the world. People who practice martial arts like her are of course very interested.
But now she has a mission, but thinking about what her friend Mu Nihuang said to her before leaving, she was shaken again.
She knew about Gong Ziyu, but had never met him, but Mu Nihuang specifically asked her to find Gong Ziyu. Thinking about Mu Nihuang's expression at that time, it showed that her relationship with Gong Ziyu must be extraordinary.
So for the sake of her friend, she finally decided to take a look at Gong Ziyu to see what kind of charm she had that could make an outstanding woman like Mu Nihuang never forget her.
But when she arrived at the competition venue, the competition between Gong Ziyu and Prajna was already over, much faster than she expected.
I learned from others that this competition was a one-sided fight, and Jiangdong Prince Prajna was defeated without even being able to survive fifty moves in Zhou Chen's hands.
However, Prajna did not lose his temper after losing. Instead, he had a very friendly conversation with Gong Ziyu, and the two parties parted ways.
After asking for a while, Xia Dong looked hesitant for a moment, then rode a horse and ran at high speed in one direction.
Zhou Chen rode a horse and walked leisurely on the official road. He had just competed with Prajna. For him, it was a small matter.
The power of Prajna Realm is really not weak. If he had not broken through, he might not be able to defeat him with seventy or eighty moves. But after the breakthrough, he had already defeated Prajna Realm with fifty moves before even using his full strength.
I think it was mentioned in the plot that Princess Nihuang, who is tenth on the master list, can defeat hundreds of moves in Meng Zhi's hands. There may be some merit, but it shouldn't be much.
So after a comprehensive comparison, his current strength is definitely stronger than Meng Zhi's.
"I don't know how many days Xiao Shu has been in Jinling. It's better to go there early."
After being delayed by Prajna for a short while, Zhou Chen decided to speed up, but suddenly he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from behind him, and turned around in surprise.
"Hush!"
When the visitor arrived not far from Zhou Chen, he quickly pulled the reins and stopped.
"Are you Gong Ziyu?" Xia Dong looked at the handsome Zhou Chen in front of him and asked.
Zhou Chen was very surprised, looking at this heroic heroine who suddenly appeared.
"I am Chen Yu. I wonder if you ask me to live here, why do you want me to live here?"
Xia Dong said calmly: "It's nothing, I just want to see what charm you have that can make Nihuang never forget you."
"Princess Nihuang?"
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly changed. This woman who suddenly appeared was actually Mu Nihuang's friend?
Xia Dong snorted dissatisfiedly: "Nihuang's son-in-law selection meeting is being held in the capital, but you don't take it seriously and don't even go to the capital. Are you worthy of Nihuang?"
Zhou Chen looked confused, what's going on, but what this woman said, could it be that two years have passed and Mu Nihuang still hasn't forgotten him?
"I……"
But Xia Dong didn't give him a chance to explain: "If you go to the capital now, you can still catch up. That means I have something important to do now, otherwise I have to escort you to the capital. Gong Ziyu, I don't care how good your martial arts are.
, I have so many friends in the world, but if you dare to be sorry to Nihuang, I, Xia Dong, will never let you go."
After saying that, regardless of the confused Zhou Chen, he suddenly turned the horse's head, slapped it hard, and quickly disappeared from Zhou Chen's eyes.
"What's going on? Wait, Xia Dong, she said her name is Xia Dong, the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Division, Nie Feng's wife, Xia Dong?"
Zhou Chen was confused by Xia Dong's series of actions at first, but when he heard the woman's name was Xia Dong, he immediately reacted.
In his memory, he also knew Xia Dong, but just now Xia Dong's hood covered half of his face, so Zhou Chen didn't recognize him.
"No wonder you stand up for Princess Nihuang, but you really don't blame me for this matter."
Originally, he was a little worried about meeting Mu Nihuang again, but now that Xia Dong said this, he felt even worse.
To be continued...
