The world of film and television begins from childhood

Ning Yuanzhou replied decisively: "Master Du, please stop talking. Miss Ruyi is not from our Liudao Hall. We are not qualified to ask her to do anything."

Du Changshi was unwilling to give up: "But isn't Mr. Zhou Chen your subordinate? I think the relationship between Miss Ruyi and Mr. Zhou Chen is..."

"Lord Du."

Zhou Chen said in a cold tone: "First of all, I joined the delegation for the brotherhood of Liudaotang, but I have already withdrawn from Liudaotang. No one can order me to do anything, not to mention Lao Ning, even if it is His Highness, as long as I don't want to. Besides, no matter what kind of relationship I have with Ruyi, it is not your turn to make demands."

Yu Shisan next to him silently gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up. Qian Zhao and Yuan Lu were not surprised either. Since Du Changshi said that he wanted Ren Ruyi for help, they guessed that Zhou Chen would have this attitude.

Ning Yuanzhou also confirmed: "Lord Du, he is right. He joined the delegation to help, but he is not subordinate to us. The same is true for Miss Ruyi, so let's not mention this matter again."

"Master Ning."

Du Changshi still wanted to fight for it, but Ning Yuanzhou refused firmly.

Of course, he also wanted to win over Marquis Changqing, but as he said, Zhou Chen was not his subordinate, and he had no right to ask Zhou Chen to do anything, let alone something like this. If he hesitated, he would not be able to face Zhou Chen in the future.

Ren Ruyi didn't say anything the whole time. She just sat there quietly, aloof from the matter, as if the person being talked about was not her.

She and Zhou Chen are now in love with each other. Since Zhou Chen has spoken, she will not object. She is completely following the husband's lead and giving Zhou Chen a lot of face.

At this stalemate, Sun Lang suddenly ran in from outside and said that Marquis Changqing came with a valuable gift to apologize for the disturbance yesterday and wanted to meet Yang Ying.

When Yang Ying heard this, she suddenly panicked.

"Sister Ruyi, Brother Yuanzhou, I'm a little scared, what should I do?"

Ning Yuanzhou comforted him, "It's okay, Your Highness. He doesn't dare to do anything rash. I'll stay with you. You should keep quiet and I'll take care of Marquis Changqing."

"Okay, okay."

Although Yang Ying was nervous, she still mustered up her courage. If she couldn't even deal with Marquis Changqing, how would she face Emperor An after arriving in Andu?

Just as everyone was about to disperse, Zhou Chen stood up and walked in front of Du Changshi. When the others saw him, their hearts suddenly tightened.

"Zhou Chen." Ning Yuanzhou wanted to stop him.

Zhou Chen ignored him and just stood in front of Du Changshi with a cold expression.

"Sir Du, you may be a good official to Wu State and the royal Yang family, but to me, you are no different from others. Not to mention you, even the Wu Emperor Yang Xingyuan who is deeply trapped in An State is not worth a hair of Ruyi to me."

"presumptuous."

Du Changshi pointed at Zhou Chen excitedly and shouted: "How dare you to disrespect His Majesty like this, you, you, you..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? It's true that Yang Xingyuan is the emperor, but look at what he did. It's because he favored the eunuchs that he was captured and all 50,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. He is the one who bears the greatest responsibility. If it weren't for the reputation of Liudao Hall and all of you brothers, how many of us do you think really want to save him?"

Zhou Chen's face was full of disdain. If it wasn't a mission, he wouldn't have bothered to save the overseas student from Anguo. Now Du Changshi actually wanted Ren Ruyi to sacrifice her body in order to rescue Emperor Wu. This was tantamount to touching his reverse scale.

"You are a traitor. You are a traitor." Du Changshi was so excited that he was incoherent.

"Yes, I am a traitor. And if you dare to have any ideas about Ruyi, don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying that, Zhou Chen directly pulled Ren Ruyi out of the conference room, leaving Du Changshi with an ugly and aggrieved look on his face.

He has never had any selfish motives, and everything he does is for the good of the group. Moreover, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with him. Ren Ruyi is Bai Que of the Zhuyi Guard. Isn't this method commonly used against her? Why can't he even mention it?

Ning Yuanzhou said with a serious face: "Master Du, I know very well what you are thinking, but what I want to tell you is that Ren Ruyi is the female tutor I invited to teach Your Highness, and now she is our companion. You should not have such thoughts."

Du Changshi was indignant: "I am also considering His Highness and the delegation. This is an opportunity. If it were me, I would not hesitate even if I were asked to die."

Qian Zhao, who was always cold and taciturn, suddenly walked over.

"Sir Du, you are a civil servant, willing to sacrifice yourself for the royal family and the country, which makes you feel that your death is worthwhile, but not everyone thinks the same as you. To Zhou Chen, Miss Ruyi is more important than anything else, so you have no right to say anything to him. Also, Ningtou also said that Miss Ruyi is our companion, and we cannot do such a thing as asking a companion to sacrifice her beauty."

After saying these words, he left without any hesitation, leaving Du Changshi stunned.

The others also shook their heads and left. It couldn't be said that Du Changshi's suggestion was bad, it was just that Ning Yuanzhou and the others were the kind of people who valued friendship. Zhou Chen was originally a fellow brother, and Ren Ruyi had been getting along very well with everyone during this period, so Du Changshi's suggestion caused dissatisfaction among several people.

Ren Ruyi followed Zhou Chen out, and after returning to the room, she faced Zhou Chen, put her arm around his waist, and comforted him softly.

"You don't have to be so angry. In fact, Lord Du is also here to make the group. I have learned this kind of thing in the White Sparrow Camp before."

Zhou Chen held her in his arms: "The past is the past. Now that you have me, you don't have to be the same as before. I can protect you. From now on, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do."

"You have to remember that you are no longer the former Red Guard Left Envoy Ren Xin. Now you are just Ren Ruyi. Your most important identity is the mother of my child."

Ren Ruyi felt soft in her heart and leaned on Zhou Chen's chest, feeling very satisfied.

"okay, I get it."

While Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were being affectionate with each other, Ning Yuanzhou and Du Changshi had already accompanied Yang Ying to meet Li Tongguang.

Not seeing the person he wanted to see, Li Tongguang's attitude was not very friendly. He kept finding fault and had an argument with Ning Yuanzhou and Yang Ying, and even almost started a fight again.

Finally, Li Tongguang proposed to meet Princess Huyang, but was rejected by Ning Yuanzhou on the grounds that Princess Huyang was unwell.

This made Li Tongguang very nervous. He couldn't be sure whether Princess Huyang was his master, but he felt that she was. So when he heard that Ren Ruyi was unwell, his nervousness and worry were evident on his face.

So he proposed to visit Princess Huyang, but was rejected on the spot by Ning Yuanzhou and Yang Ying. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

In the end, he suppressed his worry and anger and left the inn indignantly.

Li Tongguang's two consecutive visits put the delegation in a passive position. In order to save face, Yang Ying decided to take the initiative and visit Li Tongguang.

This time, Ren Ruyi accompanied her, while Zhou Chen stayed in the inn to guard the gold.

However, the delegation did not meet Li Tongguang during this visit. They went there with great fanfare and returned with great fanfare.

Another day passed, and Li Tongguang, who was well prepared, took the initiative to invite Yang Ying and others to the barracks. So the guards of the delegation, guarding Yang Ying, went to the military camp in He County together.

On the road, Zhou Chen rode the horse side by side with Ning Yuanzhou.

"I'm afraid this will be the Hongmen Banquet."

"I thought so too. If anything happens later, I will ask you and Miss Ruyi to protect His Highness."

Ning Yuanzhou was also worried. Although they wanted to win over Li Tongguang, after several contacts with Li Tongguang, he could feel that this person was not easy to get along with, so he had to prepare for the worst.

Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I'll catch the leader first. I'll show you how I can do that then."

Chapter 1409 Let’s get married!

Hongmen Banquet.

This time, Li Tongguang arranged the meeting place in the military camp, which was a Hongmen Banquet. It looked polite on the surface, but in fact, it was meant to be humiliating.

During the banquet, he brought up the captured Wu soldiers and humiliated them wantonly in front of everyone in the delegation, causing great outrage among the entire delegation.

The smug and arrogant look of this villain really made the Wu people in the delegation furious.

In this situation, Zhou Chen did not make any move, but just watched coldly, while Ning Yuanzhou, Yang Ying and others wished they could kill Li Tongguang.

Li Tongguang wanted to humiliate the delegation, but he ended up being humiliated instead. Ren Ruyi poured wine on his head in public, and he was furious and wanted revenge.

In anger, Yang Ying exposed the identity of Li Tongguang's lover's son in public, causing Li Tongguang to lose his mind and attack him in public, but Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative and knocked him to the ground.

In the end, the delegation left the military camp with the captured soldiers. Although Li Tongguang was angry, he did not pursue them.

Today he did intend to humiliate King Li of Wu State, but there was something more important, which was to find out whether Princess Huyang was his master. For this purpose, he called the maid who had served Ren Xin.

He poured wine on Ren Ruyi's veil, intentionally wanting Ren Ruyi to take off the veil to make it easier for Liuli to confirm Ren Ruyi's identity.

Shortly after the delegation returned to the post station, Jin Meiniang sneaked into the post station, found Ren Ruyi, and told Ren Ruyi all the information about Li Tongguang and the hidden secrets.

When Ren Ruyi heard that Li Tongguang had painted many portraits of her and even collected the clothes she had worn, her face became extremely cold.

Although she was not worldly-wise in many matters, she was an extremely intelligent woman and had been in the White Sparrow Camp. If she did not understand what Jin Meiniang wanted to express, she would immediately say that Jin Meiniang was overthinking it.

However, she gave another reminder out of concern.

"Don't tell Zhou Chen about this."

Jin Mei Niang asked: "Your Majesty, are you worried about Master Zhou?"

Ren Ruyi said: "I'm worried that if he finds out, he will go and kill Li Tongguang. He is the most jealous person."

"what?"

Jin Meiniang was shocked. Although she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she could feel that Zhou Chen was unusual. Was he really as jealous as His Majesty said?

Also, the tone and attitude of His Majesty when he mentioned this man was something she had never seen before. She could see that His Majesty's heart was truly captured by Zhou Chen.

"It seems that Master Zhou really cares about Your Majesty, but I think Master Zhou is a smart man. Li Tongguang is surrounded by guards, so he will definitely not do anything reckless."

Ren Ruyi said, "That's because you don't understand him. He is a very daring person. If you anger him, he really dares to kill Li Tongguang. Let alone Li Tongguang, I wouldn't be surprised even if he tried to assassinate the emperor."

She and Zhou Chen spent every day together, and over time, she naturally understood Zhou Chen's temperament. His attitude toward royal officials was no different from that toward ordinary people, and he had no respect for the powerful.

Along the way, Zhou Chen has learned most of her assassination skills. If Zhou Chen becomes an assassin, he might be better than her.

"Your Majesty, you have really changed."

"Five years have passed, and no one remains unchanged."

Jin Meiniang smiled without explaining. She was not talking about anything else but that Ren Ruyi would actually fall in love with a man. This was something she had never dared to imagine before.

Suddenly, the guard in charge of guarding came to report that Marquis Changqing came to visit and specifically asked to see Prince Li, Du Changshi, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou.

Although the two sides had just had a falling out yesterday, there was naturally no reason to avoid it since the other party came in person today.

In the side courtyard of the posthouse, Zhou Chen was making wood carvings using the carving knife given to him by Ren Ruyi.

Jin Meiniang walked slowly and gracefully to sit opposite Zhou Chen.

"Master Zhou."

"Boss Jin."

Zhou Chen stopped carving.

"Mr. Zhou is your Excellency's friend, you can just call me Mei Niang."

Zhou Chen just smiled and said nothing. Although he had a good impression of Jin Meiniang because of her loyalty and ability, he had to control the degree of intimacy.

"This carving knife of yours is made of meteorite iron, right? I remember that Your Majesty once got a piece of meteorite iron, and after he forged the Qingyun Sword, a part of it remained."

"This is indeed a gift from Ruyi."

"I have never seen His Majesty so close to someone. Mr. Zhou, I hope you won't let His Majesty down." Jin Meiniang's expression was serious and solemn.

Zhou Chen also looked at Jin Meiniang seriously and said slowly: "I am not a good person, but there is one thing I will not let down a woman who is truly kind to me. Ruyi is the mother of my future child, and she is also my Achilles' heel."

Jin Mei Niang laughed sweetly: "I really can't imagine that Your Majesty will get married and have children one day, and I am very much looking forward to this day."

Zhou Chen said: "You will see this day, it won't be long."

"Then I'll wait."

Seeing Zhou Chen carving again, Jin Meiniang felt bored and asked curiously, "What are you carving?"

"Nothing, just carving for fun."

Jin Mei Niang rolled her eyes and suddenly asked, "Right now, the Marquis of Changqing in Anguo is negotiating with His Majesty in the meeting room. I don't believe you can't see Marquis of Changqing's attitude towards His Majesty. Are you not worried at all? Or are you sitting here carving to distract yourself?"

Zhou Chen paused, then continued.

"Boss Jin is indeed a female hero who can control the Jinsha Gang, Jinbao Storehouse and Jinsha Building. Her imagination is really amazing."

"Brain? What do you mean?"

"It's just a wild guess and random association."

"Are you really not worried?"

Jin Mei Niang didn't quite believe it: "Your Majesty said that the young master loves to be jealous."

Zhou Chen's face turned dark. This woman really could say anything.

"You may be jealous, but do you know what are the most important factors for two people to stay together forever?"

"Which?"

Jin Meiniang is in the best physical condition and looks curious. Although she is in charge of such a powerful gang, she is not an expert in emotions, otherwise she would not have scared Yu Shisan away.

"Trust and respect. I trust Ruyi. Since she said she wants to be with me, I won't doubt her. Even if something unexpected happens like Li Tongguang, I still believe in her. I respect her. She is herself first, not my vassal, so I won't interfere with her choices and decisions."

Jin Meiniang was stunned. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and then she smiled brightly.

"I really don't know whether you are too confident or too naive, but I can be sure of one thing, you have a good eye, and Your Majesty will definitely not let you down."

"I think so too. I have always had a good eye."

Although people's hearts are fickle, he has the ability to foresee the future, coupled with rich life experience and long-term getting along with others, so he has already figured out what kind of person Ren Ruyi is and knows how to get along with him.
