For example, listening to music in a brothel, if Zhou Chen hadn't taken him there, how would he have known the fun of it?
However, he also knew that his sister had been looking for Zhou Chen for the past two years, and was obviously unable to let him go, so he felt very complicated.
He didn't mind Gongzi Yu being his brother-in-law, but he was also very unhappy because his sister was so outstanding and Gongzi Yu was obviously a playboy, so he was afraid that his sister would suffer.
Time flies and two days pass.
Mei Changsu has already lived in Xie Mansion for two days. He has done nothing during these two days but just lived in Xuelu. He is not in a hurry and is still waiting quietly.
He chose a good time. As soon as he arrived in the capital, Princess Nihuang's son-in-law selection conference was held. He wanted to use this conference to implement his plan.
Although doing so meant taking advantage of Princess Nihuang, he couldn't care less and could only say sorry silently in his heart.
He had met with Xie Yu yesterday, and also met with the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards, Meng Zhi. All of this was part of his plan.
Xiao Jingrui came to talk to Mei Changsu early in the morning. He was really happy that Mei Changsu could visit his home.
Over the years, he has traveled around the world and met many people, but there are not many people he admires. Mei Changsu is one of them, and Gongzi Yu is another.
"Brother Su, the princess's first test for selecting a son-in-law will be held in two days. Yu Jin and I will go there. Do you want to join us in the fun?"
"Is this Princess Nihuang's first round of selecting a husband? It sounds like it will be very lively. I might as well go and take a look."
"Brother Su agreed. That's great." Xiao Jingrui was very happy when he saw Mei Changsu agreed.
Mei Changsu stroked his fingers and asked casually, "Didn't Yu Jin come today?"
Xiao Jingrui replied, "Didn't the princess ask Yu Jin to go to her house at the city gate the day before yesterday? Yu Jin is meeting the princess today, so she probably won't be coming back to Xuelu."
Mei Changsu: "Oh, really? It looks like you guys have a close relationship with Princess Nihuang?"
Xiao Jingrui smiled and said, "Well, Yu Jin and I grew up under the encouragement of the princess. In our hearts, she is like our own sister."
"so good."
A smile appeared on Mei Changsu's lips. He also thought of the scenes in his childhood. Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin did not call him Brother Lin Shu, and they often followed him to play. It was just that they were too young at that time, and he seldom took them with him.
Yan Yujin came to Prince Mu's Mansion and soon met Mu Nihuang. However, when Mu Nihuang told him what she wanted his help with, he jumped up in surprise.
"Sister Nihuang, you are not kidding me, are you?"
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Mu Nihuang asked calmly.
“But, but, but…”
Yan Yujin was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Sister Nihuang, you are of noble status, how could you go to a place like Miaoyinfang?"
"Why, you men can go, but we women can't? I just heard from Qing'er that the top star of Miaoyinfang, Miss Gong Yu, is proficient in music. I also like to listen to music to relax recently. Can't I go?"
Yan Yujin said, "Sister Nihuang, I have some friendship with Miss Gong Yu. If you want to listen to her playing, I can invite her to my house. Why do you have to go to Miaoyinfang?"
Mu Nihuang snorted, "Is it okay for me to let a prostitute come to my house and play music for me if it gets out?"
Yan Yujin whispered, "That's better than you going to Miaoyinfang."
"Well, Yujin, what did you say?"
Seeing Mu Nihuang getting ready to fight, Yan Yujin's heart trembled. How could she dare to refuse? "Okay, then I'll listen to you, sister. But I suggest that you dress up as a man when you go. Otherwise, it would be bad if someone found out, right?"
Mu Nihuang agreed without much thought.

Chapter 821 Xia Dong warns Zhou Chen that Nihuang is visiting a brothel at night
Since the breakthrough, Zhou Chen learned that Mei Changsu had already gone to Jinling City, so he did not delay any longer and set out from Haizhou, heading towards Jinling.
Zhou Chen was looking forward to going to Jinling, but also a little nervous.
It has been twelve years since he traveled to this world, and the curtain he has been waiting for is finally about to be opened.
He was nervous because there were people in Jinling City that he didn't know how to face, such as his mother, whom he had never met since he traveled through time, Mu Nihuang who was participating in a contest to select a son-in-law, and even his best friend Mei Changsu.
Thinking of these people, Zhou Chen felt very melancholy and sighed slightly. No matter what, these were things he would have to face sooner or later.
He has experienced hundreds of years of life and encountered many difficulties. If you really compare them, these are nothing big.
Just as he was quietly sipping tea and resting, he suddenly heard a commotion in the inn, followed by various discussions. He pricked up his ears to listen and was immediately surprised.
"Young Master Prajna of Jiangdong, and the beautiful lady Chu Pingping of Langya."
It turned out that the people being talked about were actually famous people in the martial arts world. One was the Jiangdong Young Master Prajnazhen, who is currently ranked tenth on the Langya Masters List, and the other was Chu Pingping, who was on the Langya Beauty List in the past. However, after she got married to Prajnazhen, she was removed from the list, and it has been more than two years since then.
Somehow this couple came to this small town. Zhou Chen had been traveling around the world and knew a lot about the news there. As far as he knew, after the couple got married, they rarely moved around in the world.
If it were normal times, Zhou Chen would still be somewhat interested in going over to make friends, but now, he had to rush to Jinling, so he gave up the idea of making friends.
He has fought against several strong men on the Langya Master List. Now that his martial arts skills have greatly improved, his opponents are now the top three masters.
As for the beauties on the Langya List in the past, he was really curious. After all, it was a list of beauties compiled by the Langya Pavilion, so the quality and level must be good.
Speaking of the beauties on the Langya List, he had also seen a few of them.
For example, a few years ago, when he went to Yaowang Valley with Wei Zheng to get medicine, he met Yun Piao Liao, who had been on the Langya Beauty List for ten years.
There was also the Wanbo girl whom he met on the Qinhuai River, and the royal daughter whom Nanchu met...
Without exception, each of these women on the list of top ten beauties is excellent. Not only do they have outstanding looks, they also have talents and characteristics. They definitely did not rely solely on their looks to get to the top of the list.
However, there are many who are no worse than those on the beauty list, such as Princess Mu Nihuang, and Gong Yu who admires Zhou Chen, and...
When I thought about it this way, my thoughts drifted a little far away.
Sure enough, once people have enough food and drink, they will desire money.
Zhou Chen didn't stay in the inn for long. After he had rested well, he got up and left. He was not far from Jinling City. According to his speed, he would arrive in two days.
But when he was leading his horse and about to leave the city, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
"Gong Ziyu."
Hearing someone calling him, Zhou Chen turned around in surprise, and then saw a man and a woman walking towards him slowly.
The man was handsome and suave, while the woman was dressed in silk and satin with a graceful figure. Her face was covered with a layer of gauze and her hair was tied up, indicating that she was already someone else's wife.
Although Zhou Chen had never seen these two people before, when he recalled the discussions he had just heard in the inn, he immediately understood what was going on. He let go of the reins and clasped his hands together.
"So it's Brother Ban and his wife, Young Master Jiangdong. Chen Yu has heard of your great names for a long time."
Prajnazhen and Chu Pingping both bowed slightly, and Prajnazhen smiled as brightly as the spring breeze: "I have long heard of Young Master Yu's great name. It is an honor for my wife and I to meet you today. I wonder if you would like to have a chat with me?"
Zhou Chen frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Brother Ban invited me, how can I not obey your order, please."
"please."
…………
Xia Dong followed the order of Emperor Liang and went to Binzhou to investigate the case of Duke Qing's land encroachment.
Because the fight for the throne between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu was involved at this time, she was very cautious. Although she had the order of Emperor Liang and was a special envoy, she knew that this case was extraordinary. If it was verified, the family of Duke Qing would suffer. Therefore, once the relatives of Duke Qing knew that she was investigating, they might come up with some bold ideas.
For her own safety and to find out the truth, she decided to act in secret and not let anyone know her situation and whereabouts.
She was alone on a horse, and changed her appearance to become an ordinary person in the world. At this time, she was wearing a black robe and seemed to be having a meal, but in fact, she was scanning around with her peripheral vision to see if there was anything suspicious.
As the head of the Xuan Jing Division, this had become a habit for her, not to mention that this operation was so important.
There were also a few people with knives and swords in the inn, and they looked like gangsters.
Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside and ran excitedly to the table of those gangsters.
"Brother, when I was feeding the horses just now, I heard that a big event happened outside the city. Gongzi Yu and Gongzi Jiangdong were going to compete outside the city. It seemed that Gongzi Jiangdong was challenging Gongzi Yu."
The group of Jianghu people immediately screamed: "What? Gongzi Yu, who is ranked seventh on the list of top ten masters, and Jiangdong Gongzi Prajna, who is ranked tenth?"
"Yes, that's them. Many of them have already gone outside the city. Brother, let's go over there quickly. The showdown between the masters of the Langya List will definitely be exciting and we can't miss it."
The middle-aged man who was called the eldest brother slammed the table and said, "Okay, let's go."
Afterwards, they hurriedly left the inn and headed out of the city.
Xia Dong frowned. She heard clearly the conversation between those gangsters.
Whether it is Gongzi Yu or Prajna Zhen, they are both well-known figures in the martial arts world. People like her who practice martial arts are of course very interested in them.
But now she has a mission to accomplish, and when she thought of what her good friend Mu Nihuang had said to her before she left, she began to waver again.
She knew Gongzi Yu, but had never seen him. However, Mu Nihuang specifically asked her to find Gongzi Yu. Thinking of Mu Nihuang's expression at the time, it showed that her relationship with Gongzi Yu must be unusual.
So for the sake of her friend, she finally decided to go and see this Gongzi Yu, to see what charm she had that could make an outstanding woman like Mu Nihuang miss her so much.
But by the time she arrived at the competition venue, the contest between Gongzi Yu and Prajna had already ended, much faster than she had expected.
I learned from others that this competition was a one-sided crushing victory. Young Master Prajna from Jiangdong was defeated before he could even last fifty moves at the hands of Zhou Chen.
However, after losing, Prajnazhen did not lose her composure. Instead, she had a very friendly conversation with Gongzi Yu, and then the two sides parted ways.
After asking for a while, Xia Dong hesitated for a moment, then rode his horse at high speed in one direction.
Zhou Chen was riding a horse, swaying along the official road. The competition with Prajna just now was just a trivial matter for him.
Prajna Zhen’s strength was really strong. If he hadn’t broken through, it would probably take seventy or eighty moves to defeat him. But after the breakthrough, he defeated Prajna Zhen in fifty moves without even using his full strength.
I remember it seemed to be mentioned in the plot that Princess Nihuang, who was ranked tenth on the master list, could defeat Meng Zhi for over a hundred moves. There might be some water in it, but it shouldn't be much.
So after a comprehensive comparison, his current strength is definitely stronger than Meng Zhi.
"I don't know how long Xiao Shu has been in Jinling. We should go there early."
After being delayed by Prajna for half a day, Zhou Chen decided to speed up, but suddenly he heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds behind him and turned around in surprise.
"Shut up!"
The man came not far from Zhou Chen, quickly pulled the reins and stopped.
"Are you Gongzi Yu?" Xia Dong asked, looking at the handsome Zhou Chen in front of him.
Zhou Chen was very surprised, looking at this heroic female hero who suddenly appeared.
"I am Chen Yu. I wonder what you want me to do for you?"
Xia Dong said calmly: "Nothing, I just want to see what charm you have that can make Ni Huang never forget you."
"Princess Nihuang?"
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly changed. This woman who suddenly appeared was actually Mu Nihuang's friend?
Xia Dong snorted in dissatisfaction: "Nihuang's son-in-law selection conference is being held in the capital, but you don't take it seriously and don't even go to the capital. Are you worthy of Nihuang?"
Zhou Chen was confused. What was going on? But based on what this woman said, could it be that two years had passed and Mu Nihuang still hadn't forgotten him?
"I……"
But Xia Dong didn't even give him a chance to explain: "If you go to the capital now, you can still catch up, but I have something important to do now, otherwise I would have to take you to the capital, Gongzi Yu, I don't care how high your martial arts skills are, or how many friends you have in the martial arts world, but if you dare to let Nihuang down, I, Xia Dong, will never let you go."
After saying that, without caring about Zhou Chen's confused face, he suddenly turned the horse's head, clapped his hands hard, and quickly disappeared from Zhou Chen's sight.
"What the hell is going on? Wait, Xia Dong, she said her name is Xia Dong, the Mirror Master of the Xuanjing Division, Nie Feng's wife, Xia Dong?"
Zhou Chen was confused at first by Xia Dong's series of actions, but when he heard that the woman's name was Xia Dong, he immediately reacted.
In his memory, he also knew Xia Dong, but just now Xia Dong's hood covered half of his face, so Zhou Chen did not recognize him.
"No wonder he stood up for Princess Nihuang, but this matter is really not my fault."
He was originally a little worried about meeting Mu Nihuang again, and now after Xia Dong said this, he felt even worse.
He felt that he didn't flirt with Mu Nihuang when they were in the Southern Territory, and the two of them didn't often spend time alone together, nor did he do anything that would cause Mu Nihuang to misunderstand.
But why hasn't Mu Nihuang forgotten her yet? Otherwise, Xia Dong wouldn't have said such a thing.
"I have a headache."
I shook my head helplessly. Feelings are indeed unpredictable.
"But why is Xia Dong here? The direction she left is not in the direction of Jinling City. Hmm, it seems she went to investigate the case of Duke Qing's land invasion."
After being tricked by Xia Dong, Zhou Chen continued on his way with mixed feelings, but his speed increased very quickly.
…………
Among all the countries, Daliang is definitely the best in terms of strength and economy, geographical location and literary status.
You have only seen other countries unite to attack Daliang, but rarely have you seen other countries being attacked by several countries at the same time, because other countries all want to seize Daliang's prosperous land and occupy the Central Plains.
