Since he has promised Haitang Duoduo, he naturally will not let Si Lili suffer like in the plot. However, the war between Northern Qi and Qing is about to break out, and it is not an easy thing for Si Lili to return to Northern Qi from Qing. He also needs to make good arrangements.

When necessary, he may have to take action himself.

Zhou Chen walked to the bed and looked at the bright moon outside.

"A storm is coming."

Sang Wen put a piece of clothing on Zhou Chen from behind, and Zhou Chen hugged her in his arms.

"I will probably get married soon, and then I will take you in, but you can only be my concubine."

Sang Wen leaned in Zhou Chen's arms and said softly, "It's already a privilege for me to be your concubine. As long as I can be with you, I am willing to do so even if there is no official status."

"The young master is marrying the eldest princess of Northern Qi, right?"

"Of course, there is no one else besides her."

Although he has met many women in this world, such as Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili, who can be considered his confidantes, his feelings for Zhan Pianpian are deeper. If he were to marry, he would definitely marry Zhan Pianpian, as she is the most suitable one in terms of both feelings and status.

As for Haitang Duoduo and Si Lili, it depends on their fate in the future.

"This princess must be very good to be the one that the young master is thinking about so much."

Sang Wen did not feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards Zhan Pian Pian, he just wanted to meet the eldest princess.

After accepting the Second Prince's invitation to Zuixianju, Fan Xian calculated the time the next day and drove to Zuixianju with Teng Zijing.

But when they were passing Niulan Street, something unexpected happened and they were attacked by assassins. First there were two female assassins. Just as they dealt with them, they encountered an even more powerful master.

The eighth-rank horizontal training master of Northern Qi, Cheng Jushu!

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing are actually both quite powerful. If they join forces, they can easily fight against an eighth-rank master.

But Cheng Jushu was quite special. He was an eighth-grade horizontal training master with thick skin and flesh, immense strength, and was stronger and more durable than the average eighth-grade master. He completely overwhelmed Fan Xian and Teng Zijing. Even though the two of them tried their best, they were still no match for Cheng Jushu, who had amazing defense and strength.

Their attacks hitting Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jushu's attacks hitting them are completely different concepts.

In just a short time, both of them were seriously injured by Cheng Jushu. They both wanted the other to escape first, but neither of them wanted to leave, and finally they stayed to fight Cheng Jushu to the death.

In the end, Teng Zijing was beaten by Cheng Jushu and thrown aside like a rag, and there was no movement anymore.

When Fan Xian saw this scene, his domineering true energy burst out, severely injuring Cheng Jushu, and he himself was also seriously injured and exhausted, falling to the ground.

Fan Xian woke up from his coma and saw Wang Qinian squatting next to him. He hurriedly asked Wang Qinian to go check on Teng Zijing, but Wang Qinian said that Teng Zijing's breath was very weak and he might die at any time, so he didn't dare to move.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian rushed to Teng Zijing regardless of his own injuries and took his pulse.

Teng Zijing's pulse was extremely weak. Just as Wang Qinian said, he might die at any moment, and Teng Zijing had already lost consciousness.

"Wang Qinian, you are very familiar with Kyoto. Tell me, where can we save Teng Zijing? Who can save Teng Zijing?"

Wang Qinian sighed, "Sir, most of Teng Zijing's meridians are severed, and his internal organs are also severely damaged. Although he still has a breath, he is already beyond saving."

"No, it's impossible, it's impossible. He's still alive. Teng Zijing is still alive. How could he not be saved? You lied to me, Wang Qinian. Tell me, how can I save him?"

Fan Xian shouted excitedly, and Wang Qinian sighed, "Sir, you are a disciple of Master Fei. Don't you know whether he can be saved?"

Fan Xian's body trembled, as if he had been hit hard. Medicine and poison are inseparable. He is good at poisoning, so his medical skills are naturally not bad. Just as Wang Qinian said, Teng Zijing's condition is almost punishable by death.

"No, that's not right. There must be another way."

Suddenly, his mind shook and he remembered his experience in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion a few days ago. His eyes instantly lit up.

"There is still hope, Wang Qinian. I will give you some money. You carry Teng Zijing on your back and go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. The Duke of Zhenguo has the ability to bring the dead back to life. He will definitely be able to save Teng Zijing."

"Duke Zhenguo Mansion, Duke Zhou?"

Wang Qinian was shocked. Zhou Chen was indeed a grandmaster, but did a grandmaster really have the ability to bring the dead back to life?

Fan Xian urged anxiously, "Don't ask anymore. Carry Teng Zijing on your back and go to the Zhenguogong Mansion first."

Wang Qinian asked no more questions and obediently carried Teng Zijing on his back. When they passed a giant tree, Fan Xian paused.

Wang Qinian immediately said, "Don't worry, sir. The people from the Inspection Institute will be here soon. Cheng Jushu won't be able to escape."

So, Fan Xian no longer cared about Cheng Jushu, and staggered towards the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Wang Qinian.

Chapter 1446: Resurrection, taels, Si Lili's farewell

The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion!

In the study, Luo Xingfeng and Ge Sanniang, who were in charge of intelligence in the mansion, were reporting to Zhou Chen.

"Yushi Gong and his family have bought a house in East City and moved in. Today, Gong Yuan went to a restaurant with several officials' sons. During this time, the family mentioned your name a lot, pretending to be powerful."

Zhou Chen's expression was calm. He had naturally expected this result. Given the character of Zhou Xingniang's family, how could they not use his name to make a profit?

After Zhou Xingniang and her son were driven out, he had people keep an eye on the actions of this family. Emperor Qing wanted to use this family to disgust him, and he was also prepared to disgust Emperor Qing.

Doesn't Emperor Qing like to hide behind and plot things? Then he has to give Emperor Qing a good shrug.

"Keep watching. Tell me immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes."

"Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

"It's already been done. We disguised it as a murder by bandits. We checked it carefully and found no loopholes. The person has been taken to Kyoto and is being held in a safe house."

"Very good, let me take care of the people. They can be of great use to me."

"I will definitely keep an eye on them."

When Luo Xingfeng was reporting, Ge Sanniang went out and is now back.

"My Lord, I just received news that Fan Xian was assassinated on Niulan Street and was seriously injured. Judging from the direction he was heading, he seemed to be heading towards the Duke's Mansion."

"come yet?"

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "You guys go back first."

Luo Xingfeng and Ge Sanniang were the people chosen by Zhou Chen to be in charge of the intelligence organization. Ge Sanniang was responsible for Kyoto, and Luo Xingfeng was responsible for outside Kyoto.

Although Ge Sanniang is just a woman, she was one of the first batch of subordinates recruited by Zhou Chen. Ge Sanniang is also the elder sister of Tianji Star of the Thirty-Six Constellations. It was only because she was over 20 years old and had average aptitude in martial arts that she was arranged by Zhou Chen to Kyoto to collect intelligence.

Ge Sanniang and Tianjixing are siblings. They were originally concubines living in their husband's house. Later, they were sold by their husband's family. The siblings almost died. By chance, they were taken in by Zhou Chen, and it has been several years since then.

The reason why Ge Sanniang was able to be in charge of the intelligence organization in Kyoto was because she had a talent, she had an excellent memory. Although it was not to the level of photographic memory, it was not much different.

If Ge Sanniang was a man, he would definitely be able to achieve great things relying on his memory. Unfortunately, as a woman in this feudal society, and from a poor family, this talent was of no use at all, and she ended up with a miserable end.

Fortunately, they met Zhou Chen. Although they cannot say that they live a life of luxury now, it is definitely much better than that of most people in the world.

In the case of brother and sister Ge Sanniang and Tianjixing working together, Zhou Chen trusts them more, and the possibility of betrayal is much lower than for others.

Zhou Chen came to the yard, called Tong Quan, and asked him to wait at the door. When Fan Xian arrived, he took him to his yard.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Tong Quan led the staggering Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, who was carrying Teng Zijing on his back, into the yard.

As soon as he saw Zhou Chen sitting in the yard, Fan Xian ran to Zhou Chen and lay down on the table.

"Duke Zhou, Lord Duke, Teng Zijing, Teng Zijing is dying, please save him, please save him, you have the power to bring the dead back to life, you can definitely save him, please save him, please save him."

He wanted to catch Zhou Chen, but was afraid that Zhou Chen would be disgusted, so he could only look at Zhou Chen pitifully with anxious, nervous, and urgent eyes.

Zhou Chen turned his head to look over, and Wang Qinian hurriedly stepped forward and brought Teng Zijing closer to Zhou Chen.

"No need to look at him. His Qi is out of control, most of his meridians are broken, and his internal organs are all severely damaged. He won't survive more than a cup of tea."

Fan Xian shouted excitedly, "Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou, you are a great master. I have seen with my own eyes that you have the ability to bring the dead back to life. You can definitely save Teng Zijing. I beg you."

"Then do you still remember the conditions for me to save people?"

"condition?"

Fan Xian was only thinking about whether Zhou Chen could save Teng Zijing, and had no time to think about anything else. It was only after Zhou Chen reminded him that he remembered.

"One life, fifty thousand taels of silver, huh? I remember, I remember, as long as you save Teng Zijing, I will definitely raise the fifty thousand taels of silver for you."

"Fifty thousand taels?"

Wang Qinian screamed in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Zhou Chen glanced at him calmly: "Why, do you have any objections?"

Wang Qinian hurriedly explained: "No, no, the Duke misunderstood. I was just a little surprised, just a little bit, only a little bit."

But he was screaming in his heart. He thought hard every day and tried all kinds of ways to make money, but he didn't save much money in all these years. Fifty thousand taels for saving a life, wasn't this money too easy to make?

And the same goes for this young Lord Fan. Teng Zijing was just a guard, but he was willing to spend 50,000 taels to ask the Duke of Zhenguo to save people. Is he crazy?

"Duke Zhou, please take action. Teng Zijing can't hold on for much longer." Fan Xian urged from the side.

Zhou Chen looked at Teng Zijing. The reason why Teng Zijing was still alive until now was not because he was lucky, but because he left a trace of true energy in Teng Zijing's body. Even Teng Zijing himself did not discover it on the day they came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"He is seriously injured. No one in the world can save him except me, so don't think that spending 50,000 taels is a loss. Instead, you should consider whether it is worth it."

"Worth it, worth it." Fan Xian answered without hesitation.

Zhou Chen said: "Let's make it clear in advance that the fifty thousand taels is to save his life. Even if he survives, his martial arts skills will be completely lost and he will be a cripple."

"what?"

Fan Xian was horrified, Teng Zijing's greatest ability was his martial arts. If he lost his martial arts and became a disabled person, how would he support his family?

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, I can help him rebuild his meridians, but it consumes a lot of energy and vitality. I don't do business without any cost. If you want him to recover, you have to pay more money."

"How much?"

"Eighty thousand taels in total."

Fan Xian didn't say anything, but Wang Qinian couldn't help but say, "My Lord, you are taking advantage of the situation..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen glanced over, and Wang Qinian immediately changed his words: "You are indeed a good man. You saved a life and reshaped the meridians. Eighty thousand taels is not expensive, not expensive."

"Fan Xian, what do you think? Is it worth spending 80,000 taels for a guard?"

Fan Xian hesitated for only a moment, then quickly gritted his teeth and said, "It's worth it. Money can be earned slowly, but there is only one life. Duke, please save me."

"readily."

Zhou Chen clapped his hands and laughed. After all, the current Fan Xian has not been completely changed by the times. It would be difficult to find a second person in the world who would spend 80,000 taels to save a guard.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Teng Zijing on Wang Qinian's body, and Teng Zijing's body slowly floated up from Wang Qinian's body.

"You two, protect me and don't let anyone come to disturb me."

Fan Xian immediately said excitedly, "Please rest assured, Duke. I will never let anyone disturb me."

Wang Qinian also rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready to escort them.

Because Teng Zijing had the true qi he had injected earlier in his body, when he began to heal his wounds, that little bit of true qi formed a complementary fusion with his true qi.

Teng Zijing was only a seventh-grade master and was totally incomparable to him, the grandmaster. Even a little bit of his true energy was equal to all of Teng Zijing's true energy.

The Ruyi Jin Qi he created himself contains the healing properties of Yangzhou Man, and has the effect of bringing dead trees back to life, with excellent healing effects.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were guarding while looking over here. They saw that Zhou Chen did not approach Teng Zijing in the air, but just kept pointing at Teng Zijing's body from a distance.

Although it seemed like they didn't do anything, they could all feel how terrifying the true qi Zhou Chen used was. Compared with Zhou Chen's true qi, the difference between them was like the difference between a river and a stream, or perhaps even greater.

Fan Xian originally thought that curing Teng Zijing would take a long time and require extreme caution.

But Zhou Chen's opening and closing of the dots looked very casual, and in less than a cup of tea, Zhou Chen stopped, and Teng Zijing also fell from the air.

Fan Xian hurriedly stepped forward to support Teng Zijing's body. He put one hand on Teng Zijing's wrist and felt the beating of Teng Zijing's pulse with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Is that it, ready?"

"if not."

"No, it's that simple?"

Fan Xian really couldn't accept it. Teng Zijing was really about to die just now, but in just a cup of tea, Zhou Chen didn't even sweat, but he was saved. Even if he was a grandmaster, wasn't it too exaggerated?

"The meridians are also slowly recovering. This, this is too..."

He really didn't know how to describe it. Although he didn't know how powerful the grandmaster was, he felt that even a grandmaster couldn't possess the ability to bring the dead back to life.

He suddenly understood what Zhou Chen had said before. It seemed that among the five great masters, Zhou Chen might really be different.

Wang Qinian was also shocked. He saw with his own eyes how badly Teng Zijing was injured. In his eyes, he was as good as dead. But when he came to Zhou Chen, he came back to life in the blink of an eye, and even his meridians were repaired. It was simply against common sense.
