Not only did the body's internal energy become mostly consumed, but most importantly, in just a quarter of an hour, one had to concentrate and be highly nervous, which consumed a lot of energy, comparable to performing a surgery that lasted several hours.

Congenital heart disease is indeed a major disease that is difficult to overcome. Whether in modern society or in the low-level martial arts world with extraordinary powers, it is equally difficult to treat.

To be honest, Zhou Chen really likes this young man Yuanlu. He is kind-hearted, cheerful, loyal and righteous. In the plot, he ran himself to death just to deliver a message.

This behavior may seem a bit silly, but it just proves Yuanroku's kindness and responsibility. In his heart, the lives of his brothers are more important than his own.

All the protagonists in the original plot died, and they all died tragically, but in his opinion, Genroku was actually the most innocent one.

Genroku had a chance to survive, but he worked himself to death for the sake of his beliefs. It is sad and regrettable.

"how did you do it."

After taking the pulse, Qian Zhao asked Zhou Chen in shock.

When he checked just now, he found that Yuanlu's condition had improved a lot. After investigation, he found out that there was an extremely pure internal force around Yuanlu's heart meridian protecting his heart meridian, as if a layer of protective film had been added.

This internal force was purer than anything he had ever seen before, and was definitely not any kind of internal force he had ever seen.

What shocked him the most was that this internal force could protect Yuanlu's heart meridian without causing any harm. It was simply incredible. It required how delicate the control of the internal force must be.

Zhou Chen said: "My internal energy is somewhat special. Although I can't cure Yuanlu, it should be able to protect and warm his heart meridian to a certain extent, reduce the number of his attacks, and combined with the pills, the effect should be better."

Qian Zhao's eyes brightened. If Zhou Chen's internal force was really effective, then Yuanlu's disease might be able to be cured. Even if it couldn't be cured, it would definitely be better than before.

However, he immediately realized that in this link, Zhou Chen's internal strength and control were the most important, and this effect would not be achieved if anyone else were to take his place.

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? Yuanlu is not only your brother, but also my brother. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Qian Zhao rarely smiled. The word "brother" really touched his heart.

"Given the current situation, let Yuanlu have a good rest for the night. He should be able to recover tomorrow. I will just watch over him here. You guys go and get some rest."

As soon as Zhou Chen walked out of the house, Yu Shisan came over and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing serious. Just a night's rest will be enough."

"Phew, that's good, that's good, I knew he'd be alright, this kid is very tough, how could he be in trouble?"

Yu Shisan patted his chest, smiled relaxedly, and then returned to his usual self.

"Now that Yuanlu is alright, I'll go to the city to buy some drinks. Can we have a couple of drinks tonight?"

"Forget about drinking. We still need to be prepared for our current situation."

Just as Zhou Chen refused, Ren Ruyi suddenly said, "If you want to drink, go ahead and drink. I'll help you watch Yuanlu."

Yu Shisan immediately smiled happily: "Oh, Miss Ruyi is so considerate. Old Zhou, you must treat her well in the future."

Before Zhou Chen could say anything, Ren Ruyi snorted coldly: "I have nothing to do with him, I don't need him to treat me well."

Zhou Chen didn't care, he just smiled and said: "Since Ruyi has agreed, I will drink two glasses with you tonight."

"Okay, I'll buy some wine, you take a rest first."

Yu Shisan turned around and left, but after a while, he ran back.

"Old Zhou, I have no money on me, look."

"You are really not even as good as you at counting on an abacus beads."

Zhou Chen took out a silver note from his arms and handed it to Yu Shisan. Yu Shisan jumped happily and went to buy wine.

What is Liudaotang? Zhou Chen followed Zhao Ji in Liudaotang for a few months. By cheating Zhao Ji, he saved up a lot of money and was not short of money at all.

"You used your internal energy to heal Yuanlu, and it seems that you have consumed a lot of energy. Go to the room first and recover your luck. I will protect you." Ren Ruyi said.

"Thank you."

Zhou Chen felt a little warm in his heart. Although Ren Ruyi seemed cold and stiff on the surface, she showed her concern for him in her words. She was a person who appeared cold on the outside but was warm on the inside, especially towards him.

Treating Yuanlu just now did consume a lot of internal strength and energy. After returning to the room, he began to regulate his luck.

Ren Ruyi saw Zhou Chen was so straightforward and unguarded, and her expression softened unconsciously. She hadn't felt this way for a long time.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes again. It was already dark. Ren Ruyi was still sitting at the table, but in a different posture.

"You never left?"

"I said I would help you protect the law, have you recovered?"

"Well, I'm fine now. Thank you for protecting me."

"I'm glad you're okay. If anything happens to you, I'll have to find someone else to have a baby with."

Zhou Chen's face suddenly turned dark. This woman's words were so hurtful.

He went to check on Yuanlu again. Yuanlu's pulse was completely stable, but he hadn't woken up yet. Qian Zhao said it was because he was too tired, and he was fine now, so there was no need to worry.

Yu Shisan has already bought some wine. This spendthrift guy bought a bunch of good wine and food and spent most of the banknotes Zhou Chen gave him. He doesn't have any concept of thriftiness at all.

Yu Shisan invited Zhou Chen and others who stayed behind to have a drink and a meal together. Even Qian Zhao, who was guarding Yuan Lu, was pulled over to have a few drinks.

The few of them cast aside their previous nervousness about Yuanlu's safety and had a great time drinking together. Even Ren Ruyi joined the group and drank and chatted with them.

Late at night, on the roof of the inn, Zhou Chen lay there wantonly, and Ren Ruyi sat beside him.

Zhou Chen put his hands behind his head and asked Ren Ruyi beside him, "What are you thinking about, going back to Anguo to avenge Queen Zhaojie?"

"There's no need to think about this. As long as I know the truth, I will avenge her. I'm thinking about what you told me before."

"what?"

Ren Ruyi said with blank eyes: "You said last time that having a child is just the beginning, and that the child will be happy only if both parents are around. I was wondering, if I am the only one raising the child, can I do well?"

Looking at the confused Ren Ruyi, Zhou Chen asked: "What is your answer?"

"I may not be able to do it well, because after thinking about it, I found that I don't really like children. Children are too troublesome, more troublesome than killing people. If I were asked to raise a child from childhood to adulthood, I think it would be difficult for me to do it well."

"In that case, do you still want to have children?"

"I think this is the Queen's last wish. Although I don't have confidence in myself, I am willing to give it a try. I also want to figure out why the Queen wants me to have a child of my own."

"So, who is the father of the child, or me?"

Ren Ruyi turned around and replied in a cold and stiff tone: "You are the father of my child. Unless you die, I will not change you."

"Ha, then it seems you will never be able to change people in your life."

Zhou Chen said with a smile. In terms of survival ability, he has been tested in more than 20 film and television worlds. In addition, with the skill of living for at least a hundred years, it is estimated that there is no one in this world who can live longer than him.

Ren Ruyi didn't say anything, but if you look at her from the front, you can see that there is a curve at the corner of her mouth; she is smiling.

"I noticed that your aura has changed a little bit from before. Have you made a breakthrough in your internal strength?"

Zhou Chen was slightly surprised: "You discovered this, you are right, after treating Yuanlu yesterday, I felt something in my heart, and my internal energy has reached a small level of success."

In the past, when he was in the Lotus Tower world, he had practiced Yangzhou Man to the highest level. So, for him, achieving a small success now was just a natural result and not worth celebrating.

However, in this low-level martial arts world of Yi Nian Guan Shan, his slightly accomplished Yangzhou slow internal force is definitely at the top. Combined with the Xiangyi Tai Sword and Posa Step and other martial arts, he is confident that he can defeat Ning Yuanzhou, who is one of the world's top fighters.

Ren Ruyi suddenly stood up: "I have something to do, I need to go out."

Zhou Chen paused and said, "Be careful."

Ren Ruyi just nodded slightly, then jumped up and quickly disappeared into the night.

Before dawn the next day, Yuanlu had already woken up and his mental state was very good, which made Zhou Chen and others completely relieved.

After a careful inspection, Qian Zhao confirmed that there was no problem, so after everyone had breakfast, he immediately set out for Xucheng to meet up with the delegation.

When they just arrived at the border of Xucheng, Zhou Chen and his team finally caught up with the delegation. The delegation was not caught up by Zhou Jian's army, so they are still safe and sound.

When the delegation arrived at the border, they looked at the border guards with solemn expressions. That was the last checkpoint of Wu State on the border. After crossing this checkpoint, they would enter An State.

As a Wu citizen, seeing that the territory that originally belonged to their country has now become the territory of Anguo, anyone with a strong sense of honor and disgrace would feel very uncomfortable.

Their delegation set out from the capital of Wu State. Although they encountered many problems along the way, the time when they were really in danger was when they met Zhou Jian's troops at Tushan Pass. The rest of the time, everything was basically smooth.

But once they enter the territory of Xucheng, it will be different. That is the territory of Anguo. They will definitely encounter difficulties and must be on guard and stay alert at all times.

"In order to avoid suspicion from the An people, we will temporarily separate after entering the country, entering as a delegation and a merchant caravan respectively. In order to ensure the safety of His Highness, in addition to Zhou Chen and I, Yuan Lu and the others, Thirteen, Qian Zhao, you will also guard His Highness with Sun Lang."

Naturally, everyone had no objection. Then Ning Yuanzhou emphatically asked Ren Ruyi to help keep an eye on Yang Ying and give her advice at any time.

This was their agreement, so Ren Ruyi naturally agreed. After all, she would need to use the cover of the delegation to enter the capital of Anguo. Now it was a matter of mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

The diplomatic delegation and the separate caravan entered the customs one after another. They had all the necessary documents for customs clearance, so they quickly passed the customs and headed towards the territory of Xucheng.

There is not much difference between Xucheng and Cangcheng. After all, not long ago, Xucheng still belonged to Wuguo. Although it now belongs to Anguo, in a short period of time, there will not be much change in the cultural environment or other aspects.

If there is any difference, it is that many Anguo soldiers appeared in Xucheng territory.

Zhou Chen and his caravan did not follow the delegation. The delegation was welcomed by the officials of Anguo, and the caravan traveled on their own. However, they kept in touch with the delegation and were able to know the situation of the delegation as quickly as possible.

Chapter 1403: Identity Exposed, Battle at the Posthouse

Walking on the road in Xucheng, Ning Yuanzhou observed carefully.

"The last time I passed by Xucheng was a few years ago, and there haven't been many changes here. It seems that after Anguo took over Xucheng, they didn't make much change in the short term."

Zhou Chen and Yuan Lu had never been to Xucheng, so they couldn't see anything. But Ning Yuanzhou had been to Anguo to lurk before, and had passed by Xucheng more than once, so he still had an impression of Xucheng.

Because the delegation was taken away by Anguo officials, the news could not be transmitted immediately, so the caravan could only find an inn to stay temporarily.

The delegation was not taken seriously by the people of Anguo. They were simply casually arranged to stay in an inn that had long been dilapidated. The conditions were not much better than those in a mud house in the countryside.

Yang Ying grew up in the palace. Although she was not valued and lived in a lonely environment, she never lacked food and clothing. She was the center of attention all the way and had never suffered any grievances in her life.

So when she saw the conditions here, she was so angry that she started cursing and even cursed Empress Zhaojie. This made Ren Ruyi, who regarded Empress Zhaojie as her benefactor, furious. She burst into anger and slapped Yang Ying in the face, scaring her silly.

In the inn, Ning Yuanzhou received Qian Zhao's message and frowned slightly.

"Have you found the traces of Zhu Yiwei so quickly?"

Qian Zhao wrote a letter saying that he had discovered the traces of the Zhuyi Guards, but he was in the diplomatic mission and could not get away for the time being, so he asked them to investigate first.

"Yuanlu, where is Zhou Chen? Why didn't I see him after entering the inn?"

"Brother Zhou said he was going out for a walk."

Ning Yuanzhou muttered, "This kid doesn't look like he's here on a mission, he looks more like he's here for fun."

Thinking of Zhou Chen's performance along the way, it was completely different from theirs. He was not nervous at all. Even when he encountered danger, he took it calmly. His mentality was much better than theirs.

Ning Yuanzhou could understand why Zhou Chen was like this, because Zhou Chen had already withdrawn from the Six Paths Hall and was no longer fighting for the Six Paths Hall, so naturally he did not have the same pressure as them.

In fact, he really envied Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen's mentality was like the secluded life he pursued, but he still had his own responsibilities and it was impossible for him to do whatever he wanted like Zhou Chen.

"Forget about him, let's go over and take a look at the situation ourselves."

Zhuyiwei is an organization similar to Liudaotang and has always been Liudaotang's biggest rival. Now that they have entered the territory of Anguo, the most important thing to guard against is Zhuyiwei.

Just like inside Wu State, there were people who wanted to rescue Emperor Wu and people who did not want to rescue Emperor Wu, he knew that there was a similar situation inside An State, some people welcomed their delegation to An, and some people did not welcome their delegation to An.

Within the borders of Wu State, he could still be very confident in ensuring the safety of the delegation, but if they were within the borders of An State, once something happened, he would be out of reach.

So he cannot afford to be careless.

Ren Ruyi walked on the street in a daze, ignoring the noise on both sides. Just now, because Yang Ying scolded Queen Zhaojie, she lost control of her emotions, slapped Yang Ying, and then left alone.

Now that she has calmed down, she feels a little sorry for Yang Ying. Passing by a stall selling candy figures, she is attracted by the little white rabbit candy figure. Thinking that Yang Ying's favorite thing is the little rabbit, she bought a little candy rabbit and prepared to bring it back to Yang Ying.

"Oh, you have such leisure and elegance, mother."

Ren Ruyi turned her head suddenly and saw Zhou Chen looking at her with a smile a few steps behind her.

"Why are you here?"

"One day without seeing you feels like three years. You are the mother of my child, and I am worried about you, so I came to see you."

"We just separated this morning, there's not even a day left. Besides, don't try to flatter me. I won't fall for it."

Ren Ruyi concealed the joy that had just appeared in his expression and spoke with pretended indifference and disdain.

"This is not just empty talk. I am really worried about you. After all, now that you are here, I know you will definitely take some action."

"I am more familiar with the Zhuyi Guards than you are. You don't need to worry about me."

But she didn't know that Zhou Chen was not only worried about the Zhuyiwei, but also Qian Zhao and others. In the plot, it was Qian Zhao who discovered Ren Ruyi's identity, so he ambushed Ren Ruyi in the inn and almost killed Ren Ruyi.

His arrival changed a lot, but he still had to be on guard, so not long after entering Xu City, he quietly came to look for Ren Ruyi.
