The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Buying a candy man, that's not like you."

"I just lost my temper and slapped Yang Ying. I bought this for her."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that she really said something wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have made you lose your composure. Also, she's easy to coax. Just a slap and a candy man will get her over it."

As he spoke, he asked the vendor for another candy man in the shape of a puppy. After paying, he handed it to Ren Ruyi.

"what?"

"Here you go."

Ren Ruyi said unhappily: "I'm not a child."

"Who said that only children can eat candy figures? You are my child's mother, so it is only natural for me to buy the candy figure for you." Zhou Chen said righteously.

Hearing Zhou Chen calling the child's mother left and right, Ren Ruyi was speechless. The child isn't even born yet, but he's already calling her that. He's really shameless.

But, surprisingly, she didn't feel disgusted, she just felt helpless and interesting.

She still took the sugar man handed to her by Zhou Chen, put it in her mouth and licked it gently in front of Zhou Chen.

"It is too sweet."

"Really? Let me have a taste."

"This is what I've eaten. Can't you buy another one if you want to eat it?"

"It's okay, I don't dislike you."

Seeing that Zhou Chen really came over and wanted to eat, Ren Ruyi pushed him away, gave him a fierce look, and walked forward.

"I despise you."

It was fine before, but since that night, she found that Zhou Chen really did not hide anything in front of her. He did not consider himself an outsider at all. He spoke all kinds of intimate words, as if the two of them had really become a family.

Zhou Chen was just pretending to catch up with Ren Ruyi in front of him, and walked side by side with her, preparing to go back to the inn together.

In the courtyard of the dilapidated posthouse, Qian Zhao placed his signature heavy sword, Kunwu Zhu, on the ground and, holding the whetstone in one hand, he sharpened the blade with a stern expression.

There was no one else in the hospital except him.

Hearing the footsteps, he paused in sharpening the knife. Then his eyes became very sharp and his expression became even colder.

But when the footsteps approached, he frowned slightly, looked sideways with a little confusion, and then his expression changed drastically.

Ren Ruyi walked into the inn with Zhou Chen. Although she said that the candied puppy Zhou Chen bought was too sweet, she had already eaten most of it and her mouth was full of sweetness.

"Why are you alone? Where are the others?"

Ren Ruyi felt strange. She had been out for just over an hour and everyone was still there when she left, so how come Qian Zhao was the only one left now?

Qian Zhao didn't answer her, but looked at Zhou Chen: "Aren't you with the caravan? Why did you come here with her?"

"Of course I'm here to see the mother of my child. Why, you don't welcome me?"

Zhou Chen had a smile on his face. He saw Qian Zhao's reaction. Combining the current situation, it was not difficult for him to guess that although the plot had changed a little, the sharp Qian Zhao still found Ren Ruyi's flaw.

In fact, given Ren Ruyi's cautiousness, she should not have been followed so easily. It was only because she had been in the delegation for a long time and had no guard against everyone in the delegation that she was followed by Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.

"No, it's just weird."

Qian Zhao spoke calmly and sent everyone away. This was his ultimate move against Ren Ruyi, but Zhou Chen's appearance disrupted his plans, so he was a little hesitant now.

When Yang Ying went to the banquet, many guards of the delegation followed Yu Shisan to escort him, and only he and Sun Lang stayed behind.

Both Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen are very strong in martial arts. He and Sun Lang are confident that they can deal with Ren Ruyi alone, but if Zhou Chen is added, they will have no chance of winning.

As for whether Zhou Chen would turn against Ren Ruyi after revealing his identity, he never thought about it because he knew very well that it was basically impossible.

Everyone in the entire delegation could see the relationship between Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi. Moreover, he suspected that Zhou Chen might have known Ren Ruyi's identity for a long time but had been hiding it from them.

Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Qian Zhao, the murderous aura in you has already overflowed."

Qian Zhao clenched his heavy sword: "Zhou Chen..."

But before he could continue, a flying shield suddenly came flying towards Ren Ruyi.

"retreat."

Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi flew back at the same time, avoiding the sudden attack, and landed behind a tree two meters away. The flying shield emerged with a blade and flew past the tree trunk. A figure fell from the roof and caught the flying shield.

Qian Zhao no longer hesitated, he stood up holding the Kunwu sword tightly. Sun Lang landed beside him, holding the sword in one hand and the shield in the other, staring at Ren Ruyi with fierce eyes.

Ren Ruyi looked at the two men with murderous intent with a cold expression and asked in a cold voice, "Why?"

Qian Zhao also said in a cold voice: "Because you are a spy sent by Zhu Yiwei."

"I'm not."

Ren Ruyi answered with great confidence, but they didn't believe it at all.

Sun Lang shouted, "You still want to quibble? We all saw you contact the Zhuyi Guards twice. You were still helping Shen Tuchi in the government office, and you even dared to slap His Highness."

"Zhou Chen, she is a spy of the Zhuyi Guards. We must capture her here today. Do you still want to protect her?" Qian Zhao shouted at Zhou Chen.

Ren Ruyi also looked at Zhou Chen, with an expressionless face, but his eyes were not calm at all.

Zhou Chen took two steps forward, stood in front of Ren Ruyi, and looked directly at Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.

"She is not a spy of the Zhuyi Guards. I can testify to that."

Sun Lang shouted angrily, "We all saw her contacting the Zhuyi Guards with our own eyes, and you still want to speak for her, Zhou Chen, have you really been bewitched by this witch? Have you lost even the most basic judgment?"

"She is not a spy of Zhuyiwei. The reason she contacted Zhuyiwei was not to betray the delegation. I know this. Besides me, Ning Yuanzhou and Yuanlu also know Ruyi's identity."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang both looked incredulous.

"What, you and Ning Tou'er both know her identity? Impossible, Zhou Chen, don't try to lie to us. Liudaotang and Zhuyiwei are blood enemies. How could Ning Tou let her join the delegation when he knew her identity? In order to protect this witch, can you even say such a ridiculous thing?"

Sun Lang was very emotional and didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all.

Zhou Chen saw Sun Lang's excitement, so he said to Qian Zhao: "Qian Zhao, think about it carefully. Ruyi knows An Guo so well. If Ning Yuanzhou doesn't know her identity, how could he let her teach the princess?"

"Shut up. No matter what you say, it can't change her identity as a Zhuyi Guard. Qian Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense. He was just bewitched by the witch."

Sun Lang didn't listen to Zhou Chen's explanation at all, but instead emphasized loudly to Qian Zhao.

Qian Zhao's hatred for the Zhuyi Guards was no less than Sun Lang's, so even though he knew that what Zhou Chen said might be the truth, out of hatred he could not really give up.

"I only believe what I saw with my own eyes, Zhou Chen. Although you have now withdrawn from Liudaotang, don't forget that Liudaotang was once your home. Sun Lang's father was forced off the cliff by Zhuyiwei. There were also Chai Ming and his brothers in Tiandao, as well as the thousands of Dawu Baiming who died in this battlefield. They were all killed by An Guo and Zhuyiwei."

Sun Lang shouted excitedly, "Yes, if it wasn't for the Zhuyi Guards bribing Eunuch Hu to steal the military map, how could the 50,000-man army be defeated? Now the evidence is irrefutable, and you are still trying to make excuses for her. Have you forgotten that you are a member of Daogu and a member of the Liudao Hall?"

Zhou Chen was not moved at all. It was not that he had no empathy, but he had experienced worse things than this. Everyone just served their own master.

"I know everything you said, but Ruyi left the Red Guards five years ago, so what you said has nothing to do with her. As for the defeat at Tianmen Pass, wasn't the culprit our captured emperor? If he hadn't favored the eunuchs, how could there have been such a defeat?"

"Shut up, how dare you disrespect His Majesty and be so stubborn. If you still consider us brothers, get out of the way. We don't expect you to help us, but don't hinder us either."

Sun Lang and Qian Zhao had lost their patience, and Ren Ruyi was unwilling to hide behind Zhou Chen, so she walked forward.

"This is my business. You don't need to help me. They can't catch me by themselves."

But how could Zhou Chen really remain indifferent? He grabbed Ren Ruyi's wrist.

"You are the mother of my child. How can I ignore you? Qian Zhao, Sun Lang, if you want to do anything to Ruyi, you have to get past me first."

Qian Zhao shouted angrily: "Lust makes one lose his mind."

Sun Lang shouted: "Then don't blame us for disregarding our comrades-in-arms relationship."

The two men raised their weapons at the same time and rushed towards Ren Ruyi. A cold light flashed in Ren Ruyi's eyes and he faced the enemy without fear. Zhou Chen naturally would not let Ren Ruyi fight two people alone, so he took the initiative to face Qian Zhao.

Qian Zhao and Sun Lang are both very good at martial arts, but Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi are even stronger. In a one-on-one situation, they have no chance of winning at all.

Qian Zhao's heavy sword was powerful, but it also restricted his movements. Zhou Chen had no weapon, but his body was agile and swift, like a swimming dragon. He had no way to touch Zhou Chen, and was instead continuously forced back by Zhou Chen's powerful force.

While Zhou Chen was dealing with Qian Zhao, he was also paying attention to the fight between Ren Ruyi and Sun Lang.

As an assassin, Ren Ruyi's greatest strength is naturally her killing methods. Head-on confrontation may not be her strongest skill, but she is not weak either. At least when fighting Sun Lang head-on, she not only did not fall into a disadvantage, but also took the initiative.

After the two men fought for several rounds, Ren Ruyi suddenly took the blade with his bare hands, snatched the knife from Sun Lang's hand, and cut Sun Lang with one knife.

"Ruyi, show mercy."

"Humph."

Ren Ruyi snorted lightly, but still listened to Zhou Chen's words. He did not take any more ruthless actions, but just entangled with Sun Lang.

Qian Zhao was anxious when he saw that Sun Lang was suppressed by Ren Ruyi and was injured, but he could not get past Zhou Chen at all. Every time he wanted to help Sun Lang, he was forced back by Zhou Chen and could not get close to that side at all. He was so anxious and angry.

"Zhou Chen, get out of the way."

Zhou Chen fought with him with ease, not seeking credit, just wanting to keep him busy.

"Don't get excited. Ruyi won't really hurt Sun Lang. In fact, you can talk about anything. But you guys just won't listen and insist on taking action. It's really hurtful. What I just said is the truth. Ning Yuanzhou really knows Ruyi's identity and has reached a cooperation with Ruyi. If he knew you took action against Ruyi, he would definitely not agree."

But Qian Zhao simply wouldn't listen to him. He used his inner strength and fought fiercely again. However, no matter how fierce he was, he couldn't break through Zhou Chen. Instead, his anger accumulated more and more, and his moves began to become deformed.

Chapter 1404: Love over Friendship, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang are frustrated

Zhou Chen was still pestering Qian Zhao, but Ren Ruyi was not as polite and holding back as he was. Although he would not take any ruthless action after listening to Zhou Chen, he would not sit still and wait for death.

After Ren Ruyi snatched the knife, his fighting power increased dramatically. Sun Lang, holding a shield, could only parry against Ren Ruyi's attack and had no chance to fight back.

After several consecutive moves, Sun Lang was beaten back step by step, and finally even his shield was knocked away by Ren Ruyi. Without any weapon, he was no match for Ren Ruyi.

After another three moves, the outcome was decided. Ren Ruyi placed his knife on Sun Lang's neck. Even though Sun Lang's eyes were spitting fire, he did not dare to move.

Seeing that Ren Ruyi had already captured Sun Lang, Zhou Chen no longer accompanied Qian Zhao and seized an opportunity, using brute force to knock the Kunwu sword out of Qian Zhao's hand, and the Kunwu sword stuck heavily into the ground.

Qian Zhao, who was holding a knife, was no match for Zhou Chen, let alone Qian Zhao who had lost his weapon. He was captured by Zhou Chen in no time.

"Zhou Chen, you are a traitor of Liudaotang and a criminal of Wuguo. You helped Zhuyiwei's spies to deal with your own people. Are you worthy of the brothers who were killed by Zhuyiwei..."

Qian Zhao and Sun Lang were both tied to a tree in the yard by Zhou Chen, and they were separated by some distance.

Qian Zhao was fine. Although his face looked ugly, he did not show any extreme behavior. But Sun Lang was different. Even though he was tied up, he still cursed at Ren Ruyi. He did not scold Ren Ruyi, but cursed Zhou Chen, the "traitor".

Zhou Chen was sitting not far from Sun Lang, drinking tea with a comfortable look on his face, not affected by Sun Lang's abuse at all.

"Sun Lang, you've been cursing for nearly a quarter of an hour. I think your mouth must be dry. How about drinking some water before continuing to curse?"

This made Sun Lang silent. He had not been polite just now and cursed at Zhou Chen all the time, but Zhou Chen seemed to be deaf and ignored him completely, which really made him feel powerless and angry.

Qian Zhao, who had been silent since being tied to a tree by Zhou Chen, suddenly spoke.

"Zhou Chen, for this woman, have you even disregarded your brotherhood?"

Zhou Chen's expression was calm: "I have explained so much to you, but you don't believe me, so I won't waste my breath. When Ning Yuanzhou comes, let him tell you the truth. As for what you said, I never said I would turn against you, and I never ignored our brotherhood, but Ruyi is the mother of my child, and I only have one thing to say to her."

"Even if the whole world is against her, I will always be by her side. If you want to hurt her, you have to step over me first."

Ren Ruyi was stunned, Qian Zhao and Sun Lang also looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment.

But then, Sun Lang became even more angry and yelled, "You......"

But obviously no one cared about him. Ren Ruyi had a cold face because of what happened just now, but after hearing Zhou Chen's words, she suddenly felt warm all over, and an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart.

But the words that came out of his mouth changed.

"You know, sweet talk doesn't work on me. I just want a child."

Zhou Chen laughed: "I understand, but if we want to have a baby, we must cooperate with each other, so we must be together before the baby is born. I don't want you to have any mistakes before the baby is born."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine before I have a child." Ren Ruyi exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"You two bastards, you two..."

"Whoosh!"

Sun Lang was about to curse again when suddenly several hidden weapons hit the tree trunk behind his head, and the curses stopped abruptly.

Ren Ruyi said coldly: "You scolded him, he didn't care, but it doesn't mean I don't care. He didn't do it to you because of friendship, but I don't have so many scruples. If you dare to scold me again, I will sew your mouth shut, break your limbs, and poke out your eyes..."

Sun Lang was also a tough guy and was about to yell again, but Qian Zhao stopped him.

"Sun Lang, stop scolding. It's useless."

Sun Lang then stopped cursing, but his eyes were still glaring at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi fiercely.

After a while, Yu Shisan brought Yang Ying back to the inn, and then saw Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi sitting together drinking tea, while Qian Zhao and Sun Lang were tied to a tree.

Yu Shisan and Yang Ying were both shocked.
