Seeing Gong Yu getting more and more nervous, Zhou Chen was helpless. His Rakshasa mask was indeed scary, but it was also because of this mask that it was difficult for people to associate him with it.
"Miss Gong, I have no ill intentions. Don't be nervous. I came to you today to invite you to join our Jiangzuo League."
"Invite me to join the Jiangzuo League?"
Gong Yu obviously didn't expect Zhou Chen to say something like this: "I'm just a weak woman. How could I be so worthy of the deputy sect leader's attention that he would personally invite me?"
Zhou Chen did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Because we all have a common enemy, the first-rank military marquis of Ningguo Marquis Mansion in Daliang, Xie Yu."
In an instant, Gong Yu could no longer remain calm and looked at Zhou Chen in horror.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Chen said calmly: "The reason why I came to you is because I know your identity. Don't worry. If I wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't tell you so much. Xie Yu is not only your enemy, but also my enemy. If you want to bring Xie Yu down, you need us, and we also need your help."
Gong Yu was breathing rapidly and was very confused. She didn't understand how Zhou Chen knew her identity, but she felt that Zhou Chen was not lying.
Just knowing that her enemy was Xie Yu was enough to explain the problem, because she and her deceased mother had never told anyone about their identities. How did this person know?
Thinking of her identity, her enemy Xie Yu, and the hiding in the past six months, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally.
"Why should I trust you?"
"It seems that my sincerity is not enough. I have a reason that you can believe, but are you sure you want to listen?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if I tell you and you still don't want to join us, then..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the clever Gong Yu already understood what Zhou Chen meant, so she clenched her teeth.
Although Zhou Chen was sitting there with no intention of taking action, she felt a force of energy staring at her closely. Once she moved, the other party would attack instantly.
"If your reasons are sufficient, I may consider joining you."
In fact, she herself knew that her own strength was not enough to deal with Xie Yu. Even if it was an assassination, the possibility was very small. If the other party had sufficient reasons, it would not be an option.
At the very least, compared to her acting alone, the power of the Jiangzuo League is much more terrifying.
Zhou Chen chuckled under the mask, and then said word by word: "Have you heard of the Red Flame Army?"
Gong Yu was startled again and exclaimed, "Are you the remnant of the Red Flame?"
Zhou Chen said coldly: "I really don't like this title."
Gong Yu realized his mistake and quickly made amends, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Are you really a former member of the Red Flame Army?"
Her enemy was Xie Yu, so she collected a lot of information about Xie Yu. Naturally, she knew that Xie Yu became a rising star in the Daliang court by annihilating the Chiyan Army.
Moreover, although the Chiyan Army had been destroyed for several years, people all over the world still remembered that it was once the number one army in Daliang. Although Gong Yu was not very old, he had heard of the Chiyan Army's reputation.
"In that case, are you willing to accept my invitation and join the Jiangzuo League?"
Gong Yu was already tempted. If Zhou Chen was really a former member of Chi Yan's army, then he and Xie Yu would have an irreconcilable feud, so there would naturally be no reason for him to lie to her.
But she still had a concern.
"I believe you, but the Jiangzuo League has another leader besides you."
Zhou Chen said: "My words can represent the Jiangzuo League."
The meaning couldn't be clearer. Gong Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally raised his head.
"Okay, I agree."
…………
A month later.
In the main hall of the house, Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were playing chess leisurely, each holding a chess piece.
Mei Changsu suddenly sighed, "I asked Wei Zheng to go to Yaowang Valley, and he has been making trouble with me for several months. He just doesn't want to go back. How about you help me persuade him?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "He can't bear to part with you, the young commander. I don't have the ability to persuade him."
"Of course I know, but I don't want him to give up his life because of me. Yaowang Valley is a good place. Valley Master Su intends to pass his position to Wei Zheng. And Yun Piao Liao from Langya Bang is also waiting for him to go back and marry her. I don't want to delay him."
"Wei Zheng is really lucky. Yun Piao Liao is a beauty on the Langya List for five consecutive years. Yaowang Valley is a well-known sect in the martial arts world. If it were someone else, he would have gone back long ago. But he insists on staying with us old men. He doesn't understand romance at all."
Zhou Chen's tone was full of teasing. Wei Zheng was indeed a loyal man, and Yun Piao Liao, who was not on the Langya List, was also an infatuated woman who was willing to wait for Wei Zheng.
But he knew that the final ending for these two people was a happy one, so he really admired these two sincere people.
Mei Changsu's face was filled with melancholy: "Wei Zheng, Li Gang, Zhen Ping, Tao Qing, Li Xiucheng... I am sorry for them. They have sacrificed too much for me."
Zhou Chen comforted him, "Don't say that. They are all willing to do it. What's more, they also want to overturn their verdict. This is not just your business. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I think they would rather see you live a healthy and happy life than overturn the verdict."
Mei Changsu remained silent. He also wanted to live a healthy and happy life, but he no longer had the qualifications.
Light footsteps were heard, and a beautiful woman in palace dress walked in, carrying a teapot and cups.
"Master, young master, please have some tea."
Putting down the teapot and cups, the woman called softly.
Mei Changsu glanced at the woman, then looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.
Zhou Chen looked at the woman with a headache and said, "Gong Yu, haven't I told you many times that you don't need to do this."
The woman in front of him was none other than Gong Yu, whom he brought back a month ago. Because she had just joined the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu was not ready to send her out, so she volunteered to Qing Mei Changsu and arrange her to Zhou Chen's courtyard.
So she stayed there for a month, and she took care of Zhou Chen's food, clothing and daily life every day. No matter what Zhou Chen said, it was useless. She seemed to have regarded herself as Zhou Chen's maid.
Gong Yu said softly: "Sir, I am willing to do this. You don't have to feel embarrassed. Gong Yu will not disturb the master and you from playing chess."
After saying that, she bowed to the two of them and left the hall quietly.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 815 A few years later, Xiao Jingrui, Gongzi Yu
Mei Changsu saw Zhou Chen staring at Gong Yu's back in a daze, smiled slightly, and spoke softly.
"This Miss Gong Yu seems to be..."
"Stop, stop it, don't talk nonsense."
Zhou Chen quickly stopped Mei Changsu from speaking any further. He knew what Mei Changsu wanted to say, but he didn't have that idea.
He never denied that he liked beautiful women. He was like most men. Even though he had experienced more of the world and met more women, he still liked beautiful women. He could never be pure and had never thought about being pure and.
Food, sex and nature are part of human nature. If a man doesn't even have this interest, then he is abnormal.
Gong Yu is perfect in both looks, figure and temperament. Although she grew up in a place of brothels, she did not acquire that kind of enchanting and charming temperament. Instead, she gives people a cool and elegant feeling, which is very comfortable.
Moreover, she had lived in a brothel for more than ten years and yet was able to remain innocent, which further proves that she was a woman with a clear bottom line and was self-disciplined.
During this month, she has been serving in Zhou Chen's yard. She is well-behaved and sensible, with quick hands and feet. From time to time, she can even play music for Zhou Chen to entertain him, which is quite similar to the leisurely rural life she leads.
As someone who has experienced this, how could he not understand why Gong Yu treated him differently?
However, only Zhou Chen’s family knows his own affairs. His situation is more complicated. Although he was infected with the fire and cold poison and later relied on the Pure Yang Technique to eliminate the sequelae of his body, it is still unknown whether he can restore his lifespan.
Not to mention that his body had been badly damaged, and his chances of having children in the future were very slim.
So deep down in his heart, he actually didn't want to waste time on a good girl like Gong Yu. He wanted to focus more on practicing martial arts and completing several tasks issued by the system.
The tasks assigned by the system destined him to travel everywhere and go to the battlefield, making it impossible for him to always be with his beloved.
"The Jiangzuo League has gradually stabilized. It doesn't matter whether I am here or not. I plan to travel and see other countries. I have never been to other countries in my life."
Mei Changsu looked surprised: "You want to travel? I know you are very good at martial arts now, but if you go to other countries, it is still risky. You should think about it."
He had no objection at all if Zhou Chen wanted to travel, but if he went to other countries, he would have to worry.
Although the relations between countries have remained calm in the past two years, who knows how long this situation will last? If one rashly goes to other countries, the possibility of being treated hostilely and something happening is still very high. He doesn't want Zhou Chen to take such a big risk.
But in order to complete the task, Zhou Chen will not change this decision.
"I have thought it through. I have finally come to this world. I cannot live in seclusion in a corner for the rest of my life. The world outside Daliang must be very beautiful. I want to go see it. Also, I have recently felt that my cultivation of the Pure Yang Technique is about to reach a bottleneck. Going out to travel may be beneficial to my breakthrough."
Hearing what Zhou Chen said, Mei Changsu understood that his friend had made up his mind, but he was still not at ease.
"How about letting Gong Yu accompany you? I'll feel more at ease if she takes care of you."
"What are you talking about? I'm going to travel, not to enjoy the sights and sounds of the mountains and rivers. Why do you want me to bring Gong Yu with me? What's more, I might be gone for a long time, and Gong Yu still has things to do. We can't let her delay our important event because of me."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was determined to leave, Mei Changsu could only sigh softly and asked, "When are you planning to leave?"
"I can't leave for now. I will leave after you train Xiao Feiliu well and master the Xiyang Jue."
Speaking of Fei Liu, Mei Changsu showed his doting attitude like an old father: "Fei Liu is much better now, and he is very obedient now. I have been teaching him to practice Xiyang Jue, and he learns very quickly, which shows that he has an excellent talent for martial arts."
"This is a good thing. If he can master the Xiyang Jue, he will be able to take my place in the future and use his inner strength to heal you."
Although the extreme yang internal force gained through Xiyang Jue is not as pure as the internal force gained through Chunyang Jue, it can also have a therapeutic effect on Mei Changsu's cold disease.
Mei Changsu was right. Fei Liu was indeed very talented and he quickly mastered the Xi Yang Jue. Moreover, according to Zhou Chen's estimation, Fei Liu was a very pure-minded child with a truly innocent heart. He would definitely be able to practice the Xi Yang Jue very quickly in the future.
After living in the Jiangzuo League for a few more months, Zhou Chen said goodbye to Mei Changsu and others when he left, and also said goodbye to Gong Yu in person before leaving the Jiangzuo League.
Gong Yu was very reluctant to leave. She had joined the Jiangzuo League for half a year. During this period, she basically lived in Zhou Chen's courtyard. She arranged all of Zhou Chen's food, clothing, housing and transportation. As soon as Zhou Chen left, she felt suddenly empty in her heart.
However, she did not stay in the Jiangzuo League for long, and was soon sent to Jinling by Mei Changsu to help Mr. Thirteen take charge of Miaoyinfang in Luo City.
The purpose of Zhou Chen's journey this time was to complete the system's side quest.
Life is a journey: the host must leave his own footprints in Daliang, Dayu, Beiyan, Nanchu, Yeqin, Donghai and other places.
He traveled to Daliang and lived in Daliang for several years, leaving his footprints in Daliang. Next, he would go to Dayu, Beiyan, Nanchu, Yeqin, Donghai and other places.
Among these countries, Dayu, Beiyan and Nanchu are powerful countries, while Yeqin and Donghai are small countries.
He did not make any detailed plans for this trip, but just planned to go wherever he went, since he would visit these countries eventually.
Since he was traveling, he would naturally not use the identity of Luosha, the deputy leader of the Jiangzuo League, when he went out this time. Instead, he planned to use the identity that had been decided long ago.
Chen Yu!
…………
A few years later, in Daliang.
A young man dressed in brocade and with outstanding demeanor was leading a horse and slowly walked into a roadside tea shop.
"Sir, do you want to rest?"
When the tea shop waiter saw such an elegant young man, he came forward to greet him respectfully and flatteringly.
Xiao Jingrui smiled gently and handed the reins to the waiter.
"Give me a pot of good herbal tea."
"Okay, sir, please take a seat. Tea will be here soon."
Xiao Jingrui found a table nearby and sat down. Although he was of noble birth and distinguished status, he was not the kind of cynical playboy.
On the contrary, he has never been a person who enjoys life since he was a child. Instead, he is a person with strong sense of brotherhood and loyalty.
Because he has a father who is listed among the top ten martial arts masters, he has been yearning for the martial arts world since he was a child and likes to be a free and unrestrained wanderer.
After he became an adult, he rarely stayed in Jinling, the capital of Daliang. Instead, he wandered around the world alone. In recent years, he has become famous in the world and has become a leader of the new generation of the world.
Moreover, he was listed in the top ten young masters of Langya List and ranked fifth.
This time he was planning to return to Jinling City, as half a year had passed since he last went home. Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and he missed his parents and relatives at home very much.
After straightening his dusty clothes, Xiao Jingrui glanced at the tea shop. The tea shop was not big, with only seven or eight tables, but because it was one of the rare resting places within dozens of miles, the business was good. Six of the eight tables were occupied.
Most of these guests were businessmen on the road. They sat together in groups of three or four, drinking tea and chatting. Their voices were quite loud, making the atmosphere a bit noisy.
But Xiao Jingrui didn't feel impatient at all. Instead, he watched these people talking with great interest. He was not a person who particularly liked bustle and hustle and bustle, but he liked this kind of lively atmosphere, which made him feel more comfortable than the serious and solemn Jinling City.
Suddenly, his scanning gaze stopped and fell on the guest two tables away from him.
He had been in the martial arts world for several years and had seen many heroes and young men, but when he saw this person, he was still attracted by his demeanor.
The other person looked older than him, dressed in blue. Even when drinking tea in a roadside teahouse like this, it was difficult to conceal his outstanding figure. At first glance, he seemed like a young man from a famous aristocratic family. His bearing and temperament were obviously not comparable to those of other customers in the teahouse.
This man's extraordinaryness made Xiao Jingrui want to make friends with him. He went out to travel around the world, not only to travel and gain experience, but also to make friends with heroes all over the world.
But before he could get up, an accident happened. There were bursts of shocking horse hooves sounds. With his hearing ability, he could tell that there were at least a dozen horses galloping towards him at the same time.
Not long after, a dozen people were seen riding horses, arriving in front of the tea shop and stopping one after another.
Each of these dozen men was burly and strong, carrying knives and swords, with fierce looks on their faces. One could tell at a glance that they were not easy to deal with.
