Zhou Chen did not expect that Emperor Liang would ask such a question, and immediately realized that Emperor Liang had summoned him this time, most likely for the important matter of Princess Nihuang's selection of a son-in-law.

"this?"

The question came so suddenly that he didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

Emperor Liang suddenly said in a deep voice: "Tell the truth. If there is any concealment, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhou Chen felt unhappy, and countless thoughts quickly flashed through his mind. He knew that Emperor Liang was ruthless and regarded human life as nothing. If his answer did not satisfy him, no one knew what he would do.

When it comes to your own life, you must be cautious.

"Your Majesty, I have indeed seen Bai Qi's Heng Lian Kung Fu. I have been traveling around the world for many years. It is very small that I can practice Heng Lian's external kung fu to his level. If I were to fight him, if it were a matter of life or death, I would be confident. We will definitely win, but if it’s just a competition, it’s hard to say.”

Everyone present looked puzzled, and Emperor Liang asked: "How do you say this?"

Zhou Chen said: "If it is to distinguish between life and death, then naturally he will use all possible means. Although Bai Qi's martial arts is high, he can tell at a glance that his IQ is not very high. Well, IQ means smart, which means that he is not very smart. "So it is much easier to kill an unsmart master than to kill a smart master."

"But if it's just a competition, some methods are not suitable to be used. It is inevitable that you will have some scruples when taking action. You will not be able to exert 80% or 90% of your success, so I don't dare to claim victory."

Everyone present understood what Zhou Chen meant, but Emperor Liang still asked Meng Zhi, who was in charge of martial arts present.

"Meng Qing, is what he said true?"

Meng Zhi immediately turned around and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, he is right. There is indeed a big difference between sparring and dividing life and death."

Emperor Liang nodded and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he asked again: "Chen Yu, if I let you replace one of the top ten in this son-in-law selection meeting tomorrow, and then let you challenge Baili in front of the palace,

Qi, it doesn’t matter life or death, but you can’t use despicable means, can you possibly defeat Bailiqi?”

Zhou Chen pretended to think deeply: "If this is the case, Your Majesty, I can only say that I am 70 to 80% sure."

"good."

Emperor Liang happily slapped the table. In his opinion, he was 70% or 80% sure, which was basically enough.

"Chen Yu, if you can defeat Bailiqi tomorrow, I will definitely reward you heavily."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen thanked him loudly.

Emperor Liang said: "Then you will enter the palace with Jingrui and the others tomorrow, and leave now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chen got the order and left quickly. It was really uncomfortable to stay in this miserable place.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu, who were standing aside and had not finished speaking, had their eyes flickering, not knowing what they were thinking.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked out of the palace, he was startled by the battle outside.

I saw a few carriages parked not far away. After he came out, a group of eyes stared at him.

Mei Changsu, Mu siblings, Xiao Jingrui, Yan Yujin, Xie Bi, Fei Liu.

Mu Qing and Yan Yujin were the most frustrated and ran over first.

"Brother Yu, you finally came out. I was worried to death."

"Brother Yu, are you okay? His Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

Xiao Jingrui and Mei Changsu also stepped forward to ask. Although Mu Nihuang said nothing, his eyes never left Zhou Chen's face.

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you all here? I'm fine. Your Majesty is looking for me because one of the top ten in the preliminary test for selecting a son-in-law had an accident and could not attend the palace banquet tomorrow, so he asked me to take his place.

I will go to the banquet with you tomorrow."

"ah?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. They had all been worried about Bai Qi before, but they didn't expect that Zhou Chen would suddenly reveal such a big thing.

Mu Qing jumped up excitedly: "That's great. If you, Brother Yu, participate, you don't have to worry about Bailiqi. That's great."

Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin also had happy faces. Xiao Jingrui was a little better. He had seen Zhou Chen's ability to some extent, but Yan Yujin had never seen it once.

But when he saw Mu Qing, who was most worried about Mu Nihuang, so happy, he was obviously full of confidence in Zhou Chen's strength.

Only Mei Changsu couldn't help but frown. Zhou Chen was not included in his plan. Emperor Liang now asked Zhou Chen to participate, which directly disrupted his plan.

He didn't know what Emperor Liang told Zhou Chen, but he knew that Zhou Chen must have paid something for being able to come out safely, but it was hard for him to ask now.

"Brother Yu, it's getting late. Since we have to attend the palace banquet tomorrow, everyone should go back and rest first."

Xiao Jingrui agreed: "Yes, yes, everyone goes back first."

Only then did Mu Nihuang speak: "Qing'er, let's go back."

Mu Qing frowned, and then said flatteringly: "Sister, Brother Yu and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you go back first, and Brother Yu and I will go over and catch up on old times."

After saying that, he winked at Mu Nihuang. Mu Nihuang didn't know what his intentions were, but thought that Mu Qing might trick Zhou Chen, so he agreed.

He left the sentence "I must go back at night" and then left.

Zhou Chen looked at Mu Qing who had stayed down: "Why are you staying? I don't have time to reminisce with you."

Mu Qing chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, then I will play with Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yan."

Xiao Jingrui smiled and did not refuse. He just said to Zhou Chen: "Brother Yu, let's go back to Xuelu first, okay?"

Zhou Chen nodded: "Okay."

Mei Changsu said: "Brother Yu, you are tired too, so just ride in the same carriage with me."

"no problem."

The group of people rode horses and drove away from the palace gate.

On the carriage, Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen both looked solemn, letting Fei Liu stand guard outside the carriage while they talked about things in the palace.

Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu all the processes and experiences he had just had. After hearing this, Mei Changsu held the corners of his clothes and thought about it carefully.

"Under the circumstances at that time, there was nothing wrong with the choice you made. Even if you deny and refuse, something may not necessarily happen. But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality."

Zhou Chen asked: "Then what are you going to do now? If I really take action tomorrow and defeat Bailiqi, your rescue plan will be ineffective. But if you can't defeat Bailiqi, with Emperor Liang's ruthlessness

Personality, you will definitely not let me go."

"Yes, we are in a dilemma now, but saving people can be postponed, but you must not get into trouble."

"Then what do you mean, give up saving people and let me defeat Bailiqi? No, absolutely not."

Zhou Chen refused without hesitation. He had more on his mind. What would he do if he defeated Bai Qi and Mu Nihuang suddenly chose him and Emperor Liang granted him a marriage?

So this must never happen.

"So you have a better idea?"

Mei Changsu was also aware of Zhou Chen's thoughts, but things happened too suddenly. He had an idea in mind, but it was too risky. Zhou Chen was his best friend, and he didn't want Zhou Chen to take any risks.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes. As soon as he walked out of the palace, he was already thinking about countermeasures and also thought of a method.

"Tell me, what will happen if I have an accident and can't go to the palace tomorrow?"

Mei Changsu instantly understood what Zhou Chen meant: "You want to create an accident yourself? But His Majesty is not stupid either. It's not that easy."

"Yes, but now we have no choice. If you want to prevent me from going to the palace tomorrow, there must be a perfect reason. I have thought of one. You can see if it is feasible."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Chen told Mei Changsu his thoughts. After hearing this, Mei Changsu's face became uncertain, and he was even thinking about the war between heaven and man.
