The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen placed the white embroidered cloth shoes he bought in front of Zhan Pianpian.

"Change into these shoes later so you can walk more comfortably."

Zhan Pianpian stared at the embroidered shoes in her hands in a daze. As the eldest princess of Northern Qi, she had everything she needed. Even if she lacked something, someone would find it for her.

This was the first time someone gave her shoes, and it was a man. This made her feel very strange, and it seemed like something was growing in her heart.

"Why, you don't like this style? Then I'll go get another pair?"

"No, you don't have to return it. I like it very much. Thank you."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Why thank me? Since I brought you out, I must take good care of you. It's just a pair of shoes."

To Zhan Pianpian, this is more than just a pair of shoes.

The food and wine were slowly arriving. Zhou Chen was indeed hungry, so he started to eat with big mouthfuls. Zhan Pianpian, who was not very hungry to begin with, also started to eat in small bites after seeing how relishing the meal Zhou Chen was eating.

Northern Qi imperial city, harem.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi is summoning the commander of the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division, Shen Zhong.

"You mean to say that the man with the eldest princess is a man, a man who looks only in his twenties?"

After listening to Shen Zhong's report, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was very shocked. They had previously guessed that the person who took Zhan Pianpian away was a great master, but Shen Zhong actually found out that it was a young man who looked like a young master. How could she not be surprised?

"Is he really a grandmaster?"

As the most important official of Northern Qi, Shen Zhong holds tremendous power, but at this moment his face is solemn and serious.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, he said so himself. My people have come into contact with him. In front of him, two seventh-rank masters were unable to move with just a glance. Even a ninth-rank master would find it difficult to do so."

"Would a Grand Master be that young? And aren't there only four Grand Masters in the world? What about you? Do you think he is a Grand Master?"

"I am not sure. After all, I have not seen him fight with my own eyes. However, the word 'war' on the letter is indeed scary. Queen Mother, how about I have someone try him again?"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi did not look very good. A suspected grandmaster suddenly appeared. There was no news from Haitang Duoduo yet, so she was under a lot of pressure.

"How can we try? Didn't you say he had someone warn you? What if he really is a Grandmaster?"

In fact, Shen Zhong was even more confused than the empress dowager. After all, he was also a martial artist and had seen the abilities of Grandmaster Ku He. When a Grandmaster who looked to be in his twenties suddenly appeared, his first reaction was disbelief.

There were only two seventh-rank subordinates who praised Zhou Chen to be so great. Add to that the letter. This no longer seemed like the means of a normal warrior. Even a ninth-rank peak warrior might not be able to do it, right?

"You can try, but you can't use the Jinyiwei. There are many masters in the capital who have not yet surrendered to the court. I can have people spend a lot of money to ask them to do it. As long as we don't do it ourselves, it won't count as a quarrel. Even if he is really a grandmaster, we still have Lord Ku He."

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi pondered for a moment and said: "If you think it's okay, then give it a try."

Of course, she also wanted to know whether Zhou Chen was a grandmaster. If not, then everything would be easy. But if he was, they would have to find a way to deal with it.

In the beginning, the mother and daughter were able to sit firmly on the throne thanks to Ku He, so she knew very well how terrifying the Grand Master was. Unless it was absolutely necessary, even she, the high and mighty Queen Mother, did not want to offend a Grand Master.

The little emperor Zhan Doudou soon found out about the situation. In fact, she did not agree with Shen Zhong's approach. Haitang Duoduo had already taken the letter of challenge to find Ku He. As long as Ku He read it, she would know whether the other party was a grandmaster or not. It would not take much time to go back and forth. It was better not to test it if possible. Who knew what kind of temper the other party had.

However, when she learned that the other party was only in his twenties, she became very curious. Is there really such a young grandmaster in the world?

After Zhou Chen had dinner with Zhan Pianpian in the restaurant, he rested for a while before coming out of the restaurant.

He took Zhan Pianpian to stroll around the inner city for a while, and then went to the outer city, visiting many places.

On the way back, Zhou Chen asked Zhan Pianpian: "When do you want to go back to the palace? I will take you back."

Zhan Pianpian was immediately nervous when she heard this: "Are we going back now? Can't we play for a few more days? I left a letter to my mother and His Majesty, saying that I would go back in a few days. If I go back today, it will be difficult to explain."

Zhou Chen looked surprised. He didn't expect that Zhan Pianpian, who was as naive as a little white rabbit, actually had such a side to him. This was a case of acting first and reporting later.

"If you don't go back, aren't you afraid that it will be bad for your reputation?"

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will not make it public."

Zhan Pianpian showed a pitiful look: "I finally got out of the palace once, can you let me play outside for a few more days?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment and said, "In this case, you can't stay in the inn like me. I'll take you to a place that should make you feel at ease."

"Where?"

"The residence of Zhuang Mohan, the great master of literature."

Chapter 1421 The Terror of the Grandmaster, the Great Master of Literature

"Zhuang Mohan? Is he the great literary master of Northern Qi, Mr. Zhuang?"

Zhan Pianpian exclaimed. Although she was a princess raised in the deep palace, she also knew this great literary master of Northern Qi. He was the pride of their Northern Qi. Especially in the eyes of scholars, his status was no less than that of the emperor, and he was even more respected.

"Yes."

"Do you still know Mr. Zhuang?"

"do not know."

Zhou Chen’s answer brought the excitement on Zhan Pianpian’s face to an abrupt end.

"You don't know him? You said you'd take me to see Mr. Zhuang? Are you going to force your way in like you were going to the palace?"

"That's not the case."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I went to the palace to deliver something, and this time I went to see Mr. Zhuang for a formal visit."

Zhan Pianpian hesitated and said, "But I heard that countless scholars in Shangjing City want to meet Mr. Zhuang, but only a few can actually meet Mr. Zhuang. Will Mr. Zhuang meet us?"

"meeting."

Zhou Chen answered affirmatively.

Zhuang Mohan appeared only a few times in Joy of Life. The first time he appeared, he was against Fan Xian. He was severely humiliated by Fan Xian, who had the aura of the protagonist.

But this literary giant truly had the mind of a saint. Not only did he never blame Fan Xian, but he also annotated and explained Fan Xian's poems. Finally, for the sake of literary inheritance, he gave his own collection of books to Fan Xian, which was equivalent to handing the torch of inheritance to Fan Xian.

It is hard not to admire such a broad mind.

Even someone like Zhou Chen, who has lived for hundreds of years and considers himself knowledgeable and experienced, has great respect for Mr. Zhuang, who has dedicated his entire life to literature. He is a great writer worthy of respect.

When he came to Northern Qi, in addition to wanting to fight Ku He, one of his purposes was to meet Zhuang Mohan.

Just because of the addition of Zhan Pianpian, I had to go early.

When passing by a street, Zhou Chen's expression suddenly changed, and then he sneered with disdain and stopped.

Zhan Pianpian saw Zhou Chen stopped and asked in confusion: "Why don't you move on? Are you lost again?"

With a sneer on his face, Zhou Chen was really speechless about this naive princess. He always felt that she was deliberately taking revenge on him.

"It's just a few grasshoppers blocking the road. It's no big deal."

"Grasshopper?"

On a tall building in the distance, Shen Zhong was looking far ahead.

"Everyone has made arrangements?"

The subordinates behind him immediately replied: "Everything has been prepared according to the master's instructions. There are five eighth-grade masters and ten seventh-grade masters. Even if it is a ninth-grade master, it will be very troublesome to face so many seventh-grade and eighth-grade masters at the same time."

Shen nodded. It was indeed quite good to have found such a lineup in just a few hours.

But his expression did not relax at all. After all, no one saw the other party take action. Whether he was an upper ninth-grade master or a grandmaster, these were two completely different concepts.

If they are really grandmasters, what does it matter if there are five eighth-grade masters and ten seventh-grade masters?

"coming!"

Zhou Chen said softly to Zhan Pianpian: "Princess, close your eyes."

"Ah? Why?..."

He asked the question reflexively, but after Zhan Pianpian realized what was going on, he didn't ask any more questions and closed his eyes obediently.

The moment she closed her eyes, more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed out from the roofs of the surrounding shops and flew towards Zhou Chen.

"Sure enough, trouble is inevitable."

Facing these attackers, Zhou Chen sighed lightly, put his fingers together to form a sword finger, and waved it casually at the surroundings, and astonishing sword intent and true energy burst out.

Invisibly, a sword energy spread out in an arc with Zhou Chen as the center, sweeping across all the people who attacked Zhou Chen.

Everyone was swept by Zhou Chen's sword energy, and the next moment, their movements seemed to freeze in slow motion.

"boom!"

With each sound, the bodies of those who attacked exploded at the same time, turning into a bloody mist of broken corpses. No one could get within three feet of Zhou Chen and his group.

"What's wrong? What happened? What was that sound just now?"

Zhan Pianpian heard the voice, but Zhou Chen didn't say anything. She still closed her eyes obediently and didn't see what was happening around her. She just asked with concern.

"Nothing, just kids setting off firecrackers."

"Set off firecrackers?"

"Don't open your eyes. I'll help you walk."

Zhou Chen grabbed Zhan Pianpian's wrist and led her forward. As expected, Zhan Pianpian was very obedient and did not open her eyes, just letting Zhou Chen lead her away.

At this time, Shen Zhong, who was watching from a distance, was sweating profusely and his face was full of fear.

As the most powerful official in Northern Qi, his courage and magnanimity are naturally needless to say, but at this moment, he was really scared.

In a moment, really only a moment, the five eighth-grade and ten seventh-grade creatures exploded instantly, turning into blood mist, and no one was left with a complete body.

With this kind of strength, even a master above the ninth rank could not achieve it so easily.

Even though he was quite far away, he could still see it clearly. It was really just a random blow, like slapping a fly, and the person was gone in an instant.

"Grandmaster, he is definitely a grandmaster. How is it possible that he is really a grandmaster?"

There was no other emotion in Shen Zhong's eyes, only deep fear and terror. Fortunately, he only asked others to do it. If he had done it himself, he would probably be dead now.

"Such a young grandmaster, he is definitely not Si Gu Jian, Ye Liuyun or the grandmaster of Qing State. When did such a person appear in the world? Could he be an enemy of our Northern Qi?"

Shen Zhong was still thinking, but suddenly, all the pores on his body exploded, and a fear from the inside out erupted from his heart.

He suddenly looked in the direction of Zhou Chen, and the next moment, he saw a pair of eyes, and then he seemed to see a terrifying giant sword slashing towards him.

"what!"

Unprecedented fear made him completely unable to control himself. He uttered a miserable sound, took several steps back, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"puff!"

"grown ups……"

His men hurried to help Shen Zhong.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Zhong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "What a scary person, is this the method of a grandmaster?"

He had never witnessed a Grandmaster in action, so he only knew that the Grandmaster was very strong, but he had no idea how strong this was.

But now, he had an idea.

With a casual blow, he killed more than a dozen seventh- and eighth-rank masters. Even though they were dozens of feet away, just a glance from them was enough to cause him internal injuries.

He could feel that if Zhou Chen wanted to kill him just now, he would probably be dead now.

"So, he knew I was testing him. Was this look a warning?"

Shen Zhong was extremely frightened, but he still suppressed his fear and analyzed Zhou Chen's behavior.

"The Grandmaster is not on the same level as other warriors. You can't plot against the Grandmaster."

Having confirmed that Zhou Chen was a grandmaster and being injured by a glance from such a distance, he now dared not move. Otherwise, even in this Northern Qi capital, it would be easy for the other party to kill him. Even if Ku He came, he might not be able to stop Zhou Chen from killing him.

Put away all your little thoughts. The Grand Master is not a human being. You cannot guess him with common sense, let alone calculate him.

"Let's go to the palace and report to the Queen Mother."

Fortunately, the other party showed mercy. He suffered internal injuries, but they were not serious. The most important thing now is to report the news to the Queen Mother.

They moved quickly, entered the palace, met the Queen Mother, and told her everything that had just happened.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she remained silent for a long time. The shock in her heart was no less than Shen Zhong's.

"Since he is a Grandmaster, we must treat him with caution. According to your report, he seems to be good to the princess. We can have people pay attention to his movements, but don't stare at him all the time. Stay away from him."

Shen nodded. He knew what to do without the empress dowager's instructions.

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after the emperor's uncle comes."
