The world of film and television begins from childhood

"It's true that he can save people, but it's also true that the money is easy to earn. Eighty thousand taels, even if I don't eat or drink, I can't earn that much in my whole life, right? And the Duke of Zhenguo got eighty thousand taels in just a cup of tea. I wish I were a grandmaster."

After making sure that Teng Zijing was fine, Fan Xian was so excited that tears came to his eyes. He asked Wang Qinian to support Teng Zijing while he walked up to Zhou Chen and bowed deeply to him.

"Duke Zhou's great kindness, I will never forget it. Whenever the Duke has any favor in the future..."

"There's no need to say more polite words. Just send the 80,000 taels of silver as soon as possible. That would be the best way to thank you."

The expression on Fan Xian's face froze instantly. Suddenly, he felt a headache. He was only concerned with saving people and didn't think too much about it. But now the person is alive. Where is he going to get 80,000 taels of silver?

He felt that he was really crazy and his brain must have short-circuited at that time. He wanted to renege on the debt, but after comparing the strength gap between the two sides, he still followed his heart.

"Of course, but 80,000 taels is not a small amount after all. I may need some time to prepare."

Zhou Chen waved his hands and said generously: "It doesn't matter, you can't run away anyway. If you run away, then I can only go to Fan Mansion to ask your father for it. I believe he will give me this face. The Minister of Revenue is in charge of money, so he should have a lot of silver."

"No, no, the younger generation should solve their own problems. There is no need to look for my father."

Fan Xian was about to break out in a cold sweat. If Grandmaster Zhou Chen really went to the Fan Mansion to ask for money, his father would definitely not be able to bear it. He decided not to put the pressure on the old man.

Zhou Chen asked again: "I see you are also seriously injured, do you want me to help you heal? I won't charge you much, just 10,000 taels."

Fan Xian shouted, "That's not necessary, Duke Zhou, there's no need to bother you with that. I know a little bit about medicine, I can do it myself, I can do it myself."

He must be crazy to agree to pay 12,000 yuan for one treatment.

He searched his pocket and finally only took out two silver bills.

"Duke Zhou, I only have one hundred taels on me right now. How about I give it to you first, and then I can slowly collect the rest for you?"

Looking at the two crumpled banknotes, Zhou Chen looked disgusted.

"Are you sending away beggars? Eighty thousand taels. Don't take out anything less than ten thousand taels."

Fan Xian smiled awkwardly. There was indeed a big difference between one hundred taels and eighty thousand taels, but he had no choice. This was all he had.

"Go away. When you have collected ten thousand taels, come back and pay it back."

Fan Xian felt relieved. Together with Wang Qinian, he carried Teng Zijing on his back again and left quickly.

"Teng Zijing is not dead. I wonder if you will be filled with righteous indignation and cause a big commotion in Kyoto like in the plot?"

Fan Xian in the drama went crazy investigating the case just because Teng Zijing died. What he said was very lofty, and perhaps he had such thoughts in his mind, but in the final analysis, it was because Teng Zijing was a friend he recognized.

If it were any other guard in the Fan Mansion, he would never do that. This is human nature. People care more about the people they care about.

Zhou Chen is the same. He never thinks of himself as great or a great man. He is just a person who cares about his family and friends. As for other people and other things, it is impossible for him to have the same empathy as his family.

Fan Xian's assassination caused an uproar in Kyoto, and all forces were keeping their eyes on Fan Xian.

When they found out that the first place Fan Xian went to after being assassinated was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, many people were very surprised. No one had expected that Fan Xian had a relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo Zhou Chen.

During this chaotic period, at night, Si Lili disguised herself and came to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and met Zhou Chen.

"The assassination of Fan Xian caused too much noise. Sooner or later, they will find me. I can no longer stay in Kyoto. I plan to leave Kyoto tomorrow. I came here tonight to say goodbye to you."

There was a flash of reluctance in Si Lili's eyes. Kyoto was actually her hometown, but she had to leave it.

There weren't many things in Kyoto now that she could miss, and Zhou Chen was probably the person she was most reluctant to leave. After spending a few months together, she had developed unprecedented feelings for this man, and she was very reluctant to leave suddenly.

Zhou Chen looked at Si Lili, who had lost much of her worldly look, and said softly, "It's better to leave. Kyoto is a vortex place, too dangerous. Don't worry, I promised Haitang Duoduo that I would protect you. On your way out, I will have someone protect you and escort you safely to the border. Haitang Duoduo will pick you up then."

"You protect me just because of Duoduo?" Si Lili suddenly felt strange and looked at Zhou Chen closely.

Zhou Chen walked up to her and touched her cheek gently.

"It's not just because of her, but you also know that I'm a playboy and there's more than one woman around me, so you need to think about it seriously."

Si Lili understood what Zhou Chen meant, and she held Zhou Chen's hand in return.

"I will. If I go back to Northern Qi, will you still go to Northern Qi?"

"of course."

"Is it for the eldest princess?"

Zhou Chen did not answer. Although he had spent more time with Si Lili, in terms of status in his heart, the Princess Zhan Pianpian of Northern Qi obviously held a higher position.

Si Lili understood everything. She had experienced a lot over the years, so she didn't feel jealous. Compared to Zhan Pianpian, she was indeed a latercomer.

"If you are going to Northern Qi, you must tell me."

"must."

Si Lili left. After she left, Zhou Chen made arrangements and said that he would protect Si Lili and bring her back to Northern Qi. He would do what he said.

On the second day after the assassination on Niulan Street, Fan Xian was dissatisfied with the Inspection Institute's decision to release Cheng Jushu, so he chose to kill Cheng Jushu in front of the Inspection Institute in public.

At the same time, Si Lili also began to plan her own evacuation route. She did not tell Zhou Chen how she was leaving because she did not want to implicate Zhou Chen.

Although Teng Zijing did not die, the plot still unfolds the same way, which is also related to Fan Xian's revengeful character.

In order to investigate the assassination, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian quickly identified Si Lili as a secret agent from Northern Qi, and then prepared to chase after the fleeing Si Lili.

Thinking of the relationship between Si Lili and Zhou Chen, Fan Xian was a little worried, so he brought 12,000 taels of silver notes collected from his father Fan Jian and his sister Fan Ruoruo, and went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to explain the matter to Zhou Chen.

"Si Lili is a spy from Northern Qi? Has it been confirmed?"

Zhou Chen accepted the banknote and was surprised when he heard Fan Xian talking about Si Lili. Fan Xian, who had been staring at his expression, could not see any problem at all.

Fan Xian cupped his hands and said, "It seems that Duke Zhou has also been kept in the dark. Let's prepare to go after Si Lili now."

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "Then go ahead. If you really catch her, don't hurt her. After all, we have known each other for so long, and there is still affection between us."

Fan Xian understood what Zhou Chen meant, responded, and then left with Wang Qinian.

"Wang Qinian, do you think what Duke Zhou said is true?"

"what?"

Wang Qinian was shocked: "There is no reason for the Duke of Zhenguo to lie to us. He is a great master, extraordinary and unworldly. There is no reason for him to collude with the Northern Qi spies."

"That's true."

Fan Xian was just a little skeptical. He thought that Zhou Chen was such a capable person and had known Si Lili for so long, how could he not notice any problem?

But this was just his guess. If Si Lili really wanted to kill him, and Zhou Chen was in cahoots with Si Lili, there was no possibility for him and Teng Zijing to survive.

The Grand Master wanted to kill him, and he didn't even have a chance to escape.

Chapter 1447 Confrontation, Ye Qingmei can do it, so can I

Si Lili had carefully planned her way of escaping from Kyoto. She first used six fake bodies to attract the attention of the Inspection Institute. Then she set out from the east, preparing to enter the sea from Danzhou, take a boat to leave Qing Kingdom and head to the border of Northern Qi.

She thought her plan was fine, but Fan Xian still saw through it, changed his route and caught up with her.

Si Lili knew very well that if she continued to escape like this, she would never be able to outrun Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, so she prepared to use the secret line that had been arranged long ago to stop Fan Xian and Wang Qinian completely, and deliberately lured them to a mountain village.

The plan was good. Although Fan Xian and Wang Qinian sensed something was wrong, they still chased after him. In the end, they were surrounded by dozens of Si Lili's men, who were disguised as bandits and were at least sixth-rank masters or above.

Just when Si Lili felt safe and was ready to leave, she was forced back by two teams of black knights.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, who were surrounded, stared in amazement at this drastic reversal, especially when they saw the two teams of black cavalry blocking Si Lili.

"Black Knight."

Wang Qinian was overjoyed, while Fan Xian stared in a daze at the oppressive black cavalry in front of him.

As the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute, he had naturally heard of the Black Knights that were known to sweep across the world, but today was the first time he had seen them and he was truly greatly shocked.

Si Lili's face was ashen. The Black Cavalry had arrived. She really had no way out now.

Seeing the Black Cavalry slaughtering dozens of bandits above the sixth rank like reaping the harvest, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian both felt that the situation was safe.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook again, and then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, a group of black knights appeared from where the Black Cavalry had just rushed over, and like a black whirlwind, they ran towards this side at a high speed.

The black cavalry who saw this scene drew their swords and formed a battle array, facing the oncoming troops with murderous intent.

When Wang Qinian saw that these dozens of knights were wearing various star masks, his expression suddenly changed.

"Thirty-six constellations."

After hearing this, Fan Xian immediately asked curiously, "Wang Qinian, who are these people?"

Wang Qinian explained solemnly, "The guards under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Thirty-Six Constellations, have only shown up once, when they followed the Duke of Zhenguo to massacre Kyoto last year. Although they have no record of any battles, they are at least of rank seven. More importantly, their appearance represents the Duke of Zhenguo's orders."

"Hiss, it looks like the Duke of Zhenguo wants to protect Si Lili. We are in big trouble."

Fan Xian looked down, thinking back to yesterday when he met Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not show any reaction, but knowing that Si Lili was a spy from Northern Qi, he still sent his men to protect her today.

After the thirty-six constellations approached, they surrounded Si Lili in the center. The meaning of protection was very clear.

Si Lili felt that she was really swinging back and forth between ups and downs, and in the end, only endless emotion remained in her heart. She finally understood what Zhou Chen meant when he said that he would definitely protect her and return to Northern Qi. He had sent his most elite star guards, and his attitude was very clear.

Both are black in color. The Thirty-Six Constellations and the Black Cavalry were facing off. Although they did not fight, their imposing aura was already oppressive.

Shadow rode out from the black cavalry on horseback, and Sun Yi, wearing a mask, also stepped out from the thirty-six constellations.

Shadow said in a deep voice: "What do you want, Mr. Zhou?"

Sun Yi said: "The Lord has ordered that Miss Si Lili be escorted away. Anyone who stops us is an enemy."

The shadow didn't say anything, but Fan Xian couldn't help it, he strode forward.

"Si Lili is a spy from Northern Qi, and the Duke of Zhenguo is the Duke of Qing. Why would they help the spy from Northern Qi?"

Sun Yi looked at Fan Xian indifferently and said in a cold voice: "I don't know about Northern Qi's secret agents. I only know that the master has ordered that Miss Si Lili be escorted away. Anyone who obstructs is an enemy of the master."

"choke!"

The thirty-six constellations made almost the same movement, with long swords unsheathed and murderous aura rising to the sky.

The Thirty-Six Constellations are not just training according to a routine procedure, they have a lot of lives on their hands, and because they stay together for many years, they have a very tacit understanding in their cooperation.

The murderous aura rising into the sky frightened Fan Xian so much that he took two steps back involuntarily. Although he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had experienced life-and-death battles, he had never faced a scene like this.

Wang Qinian rushed over and grabbed Fan Xian, and urged him urgently: "My lord, my lord, don't be impulsive. He is a grandmaster. You have seen the power of the Duke of Zhenguo. Calm down."

Then he whispered to Shadow, "Master Shadow, what should we do now?"

Shadow was also in a difficult situation. Although their Black Knights had more people, the key was that the Thirty-Six Constellations represented Zhou Chen. Even if they could wipe out all the Thirty-Six Constellations, they would not be able to fight back when facing the Grand Master.

The most important thing is that even Chen Pingping might not want to offend Grand Master Zhou Chen.

Fan Xian quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind, and soon, he thought of a solution.

"We can let Si Lili go, but before we leave, I want to ask her one thing alone. As long as she tells us, we will let her go. How do you think?"

Sun Yi thought of Zhou Chen's instructions, put away his knife, and came to Si Lili's side.

"Girl, the master ordered us to protect you. If you don't want to tell us, we will protect you and leave even if we die."

Si Lili couldn't see Sun Yi's appearance clearly, but she knew that he was an elite soldier under Zhou Chen's command. If he fought with the Black Cavalry for her, there would definitely be heavy casualties.

So she made a decision quickly.

"Okay, Fan Xian, I know what you want to ask. I can tell you."

After saying this, she rode her horse to a deserted spot nearby, and Fan Xian followed her happily.

A moment later, the thirty-six constellations escorting Si Lili quickly disappeared, followed by the black cavalry who also quickly left.

Before leaving, Shadow said to Fan Xian, "Except for the dean, no one else will know about what happened today. You decide how to say it."

In the end, only Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were left.

Seeing that Fan Xian remained silent, Wang Qinian asked cautiously, "Sir, has Si Lili spoken?"

Fan Xian remained silent. Si Lili told him the answer, but it was this answer that troubled him. He never thought that the person who planned to assassinate him was Lin Wan'er's second brother Lin Gong.

What does this make him do?

…………

The true energy crushed the note in his hand, and Zhou Chen looked in the direction where Si Lili left.

"Safe journey!"

He knew that the Thirty-Six Constellations might not be a match for the Black Cavalry, but he was even more certain that the Black Cavalry would not attack the Thirty-Six Constellations. Chen Pingping would not offend him for the sake of Si Lili.

In fact, to old silver coins like Chen Pingping or Emperor Qing, Si Lili is not important at all.

What Zhou Chen is curious about now is that Teng Zijing was saved by him, and Fan Xian now knows that the person who planned to assassinate him is Lin Gong. He wonders if he will still seek revenge on Lin Gong as in the plot.

A life and eighty thousand taels are two different concepts in Fan Xian's mind. I wonder if he will kill Lin Gong for the sake of "justice" this time.

"Fan Xian, what would you choose?"
