Chapter 1,444: Resurrection from the Dead, Eighty Thousand Liang, Si Lili Farewell
Chapter 1446: Resurrection from the dead, eighty thousand taels, Si Lili bids farewell
Zhen Guogong Mansion!
In the study, Luo Xingfeng and Ge Sanniang, who are responsible for managing intelligence in the mansion, are reporting to Zhou Chen.
"Gong Yushi's family has bought a house in Dongcheng and moved in. Just today, Gong Yuan went to a restaurant with several officials' sons. During this period, the family often mentioned your lord.
Name, the fox pretends to be the tiger's power."
Zhou Chen's expression was calm. He had naturally expected this result. With the character of Zhou Xingniang's family, how could they not use his name to make profits.
After Zhou Xingniang and her son were kicked out, he made people watch the actions of this family. Emperor Qing wanted to use this family to disgust him, and he was also prepared to disgust Emperor Qing.
Didn't Emperor Qing like to hide behind and plot, so he also had to give Emperor Qing some eye drops.
"Keep watching. If there is any sign of trouble, tell me immediately."
"yes."
"Have you done what I asked you to do?"
"It's been done. He was disguised as a bandit and killed. After careful inspection, there were no flaws left. The person has been taken to Kyoto and locked up in a safe house."
"Very good. Keep an eye on them. They will be of great use to me."
"My subordinates must be optimistic about them."
When Luo Xingfeng reported, Ge Sanniang went out for a trip, and now she is back.
"My lord, I have just received news that Fan Xian was assassinated on Niulan Street and was seriously injured. Judging from his direction, he seems 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 selected by Zhou Chen to be in charge of the intelligence organization. Ge Sanniang was in charge of the inside of Kyoto, and Luo Xingfeng was in charge of the outside of Kyoto.
Although Ge Sanniang is just a woman, she is one of the first batch of subordinates recruited by Zhou Chen. Ge Sanniang is also the biological sister of Thirty-Six Constellations Tianji Xing. It was only because she was over 20 years old and had average martial arts qualifications.
Zhou Chen will arrange him to go to Kyoto and be responsible for collecting intelligence.
Ge Sanniang and Tianji Xing are biological siblings. They were originally kept as concubines and lived in her husband's house. Later, they were sold by her husband's family. The two siblings almost died. By chance, they were taken under Zhou Chen's command and have been here till now.
It's been a few years.
The reason why Ge Sanniang is able to take charge of the intelligence organization in Kyoto is because she has a talent and a particularly good memory. Although she does not have photographic memory, it is not much different.
If Ge Sanniang were a man, he would definitely be able to accomplish a lot by relying on his memory. Unfortunately, as a woman, in this feudal society, and from a poor family, this kind of talent would not be of use at all, and she would eventually fail.
met a tragic end.
Fortunately, their brother and sister met Zhou Chen. Although they dare not say that they live a superior life, they are definitely much better than most people in the world.
Like Ge Sanniang and Tianji Xing, two siblings who work together, Zhou Chen trusts them more. In this case, the possibility of betrayal is much lower than with others.
Zhou Chen came to the yard, called Tong Quan, and asked him to wait at the door. After Fan Xian arrived, he took him to the yard.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Tong Quan led Fan Xian, who was staggering, and Wang Qinian, who was carrying Teng Zijing on his back, into the courtyard.
As soon as he saw Zhou Chen sitting in the courtyard, Fan Xian ran away, rushed to Zhou Chen, and lay down on the table.
"Duke Zhou, Lord Duke, Teng Zijing, Teng Zijing, he is about to die. Please save him. Please save him. You have the ability to revive dead trees and bring them back to life. You can definitely save him. Please save him. Please save him."
Save him."
He wanted to catch Zhou Chen, but he was afraid that Zhou Chen would be disgusted, so he could only look at Zhou Chen pitifully with anxious, nervous and eager eyes.
Zhou Chen turned his head and looked over. Wang Qinian hurriedly took a step forward and brought Teng Zijing closer to Zhou Chen.
"Don't look at it anymore. The true energy is out of control. Most of the meridians in the body are broken. All the internal organs are severely hit. I can't survive even a cup of tea."
Fan Xian shouted excitedly: "Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou, you are the great master. I have seen with my own eyes that you have the ability to bring the dead back to life. You will definitely be able to save Teng Zijing. I beg you."
"Then do you still remember my conditions for saving people?"
"condition?"
Fan Xian only thought that Zhou Chen could save Teng Zijing, and had no time to think about anything else. Only after Zhou Chen reminded him did he remember.
"One life, fifty thousand taels of silver, right? I remember, I remember, as long as you save Teng Zijing, I will definitely collect the fifty thousand taels of silver for you."
"Fifty thousand taels?"
Wang Qinian screamed in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Zhou Chen glanced at him lightly: "Why, do you have any objections?"
Wang Qinian hurriedly explained: "No, no, the Duke misunderstood, so I was a little surprised, 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. He didn't save much money in so many years. Saving one life only cost 50,000 taels. This money is too good to make, right?
The same goes for Mr. Fan. Teng Zijing is just a guard, but he is willing to spend 50,000 taels to beg the Duke of Zhen to save someone. Is his brain broken?
"Duke Zhou, please take action, Teng Zijing won't be able to hold on for long." Fan Xian urged from the side.
Zhou Chen looked at Teng Zijing. The reason why Teng Zijing was able to survive until now was not because he was lucky, but because he left a ray of true energy in Teng Zijing's body. That was the day they came to Zhen Guogong's Mansion.
Even Teng Zijing himself didn't notice it.
"He was seriously injured. No one in the world can save him except me, so don't think it's a loss of fifty thousand taels, but see if it's worth it."
"It's worth it," Fan Xian replied without hesitation.
Zhou Chen said: "We agreed in advance that the fifty thousand taels will save his life. Even if he survives, his martial arts will be completely lost and he will be left useless."
"What?"
Fan Xian looked horrified. Teng Zijing's greatest ability was his martial arts. If he lost his martial arts and became a useless person, how would he be able to support his family?
"Is there no other way?"
"Yes, I can help him reshape his meridians, but it will consume a lot of energy and energy. I don't do business without capital. If you want him to recover, you have to add money."
"How much more?"
"A total of eighty thousand taels."
Fan Xian still had nothing to do, but Wang Qinian couldn't help it anymore: "My lord, don't you take advantage of the situation..."
"Um?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him, and Wang Qinian immediately changed his mind: "You are indeed a good person. You saved a life and reshaped the meridians. Eighty thousand taels, not expensive, not expensive."
"Fan Xian, what do you think? Is it worth spending 80,000 taels for a guard?"
Fan Xian only hesitated for a moment, then quickly gritted his teeth and said: "It's worth it. You can earn money slowly, but you only have one life. Lord, please save this person."
"readily."
Zhou Chen clapped his hands and laughed. After all, the current Fan Xian has not been completely changed by the times. He saves a guard for 80,000 taels. It is estimated that it will be difficult to find another person in this world.
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Teng Zijing on Wang Qinian's body. Teng Zijing's body slowly floated up from Wang Qinian's body.
"You two protect me, don't let anyone come and disturb me."
Fan Xian immediately cheered up and said, "Please don't worry, Lord, I will never let anyone disturb you."
Wang Qinian also rolled up his sleeves, showing a protective posture.
Because Teng Zijing had the zhenqi that he had injected into his body before, when he started to heal, that little zhenqi formed a complementary fusion with his zhenqi.
Teng Zijing was only at the seventh level, and there was no comparison with him, a great master. Even a little bit of his Qi was worth all of Teng Zijing's Qi.
His self-created Ruyi Jin Zhenqi contains the healing properties of Yangzhou Manu, which has the effect of springing up dead trees and has excellent healing effects.
While guarding, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian looked over and saw Zhou Chen not getting close to Teng Zijing in the air, just tapping Teng Zijing's body from a distance.
It looked like they didn't do anything, but they could all feel how terrifying Zhou Chen's Qi was. Compared with Zhou Chen's, their Qi was as different as a river from a stream, and it might even be bigger.
Fan Xian originally thought that curing Teng Zijing would take a long time and require caution.
But Zhou Chen's opening and closing of dots looked very casual, and before it was time for a cup of tea, Zhou Chen stopped, and Teng Zijing also fell from the sky.
Fan Xian hurriedly stepped forward to support Teng Zijing's body, 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.
"That's it, okay?"
"if not."
"No, it's that simple?"
??????????.??????
Fan Xian really couldn't accept it. Teng Zijing was really about to die just now. It took only a cup of tea and Zhou Chen didn't even see him sweating. Even if he was a great master, it was 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 strong the Grand Master was, he felt that even the Grand Master couldn't possess this kind of ability to bring the dead back to life.
He suddenly understood what Zhou Chen 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 seriously injured Teng Zijing was. In his eyes, he was like a dead person. But when he arrived at Zhou Chen's place, he was alive again in the blink of an eye, and even his meridians were repaired.
, it simply goes against common sense.
'My ability to save people is true, but this money is indeed easy to earn. Eighty thousand taels. If I don't eat or drink, I won't be able to earn so much in my life, right? And Zhen Guo Gong can only make a cup of tea.
, I got eighty thousand taels, it would be great if I were a great master.'
After confirming that Teng Zijing was fine, Fan Xian burst into tears of excitement. He asked Wang Qinian to support Teng Zijing while he walked up to Zhou Chen and gave Zhou Chen a big salute.
"I will never forget Duke Zhou's great kindness. As long as I have the Duke of Zhou in the future..."
"There is no need to say these polite words. It is better to send the 80,000 taels of silver as soon as possible. That will be the best thank you."
The expression on Fan Xian's face froze for an instant. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head. Just now he was only focused on saving people and didn't think much about it. But now that people are alive and he has 80,000 taels of silver, where can he get them?
He felt that he was really crazy. His brain must have been short-circuited at that time, and he wanted to default on the debt, but after comparing the strength gap between the two parties, he still followed his heart.
"Of course, it's just that eighty thousand taels is not a small amount after all. I may need time to prepare."
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said generously: "It doesn't matter, you can't run away anyway. If you run away, then I will have to go to Fan Mansion to ask your father for it. I believe he will give me this face, Hu Bu
The minister is in charge of money, so he should have a lot of money."
"Don't, don't. The junior will handle the junior's matters. There is no need to go to my father."
Fan Xian was almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Zhou Chen, the great master, was really going to Fan's house to ask for money. His father would definitely not be able to handle it, and he still couldn't put the pressure on the old man.
Zhou Chen asked again: "I see that you are also seriously injured. Do you want me to help you treat it? I won't charge you more, ten thousand taels."
Fan Xian shouted loudly: "It's not necessary, Duke Zhou, so I won't bother you to show your favor. I have some medical skills and can do it myself."
He agreed to ten thousand taels of treatment only because he was out of his mind.
After digging through his body, he only took out two banknotes.
"Zhou Guogong, I only have one hundred taels with me now, how about I give it to you first, and then I can slowly collect the rest for you?"
Looking at the two wrinkled banknotes, Zhou Chen looked disgusted.
"Are you going to send the beggar away? Eighty thousand taels. If it's less than 10,000 taels, don't give it out."
Fan Xian smiled awkwardly. There was indeed a big difference between one hundred taels and eighty thousand taels, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was the only thing he had.
"Go away. When you have collected ten thousand taels, come here and pay them back."
Fan Xian was relieved, and together with Wang Qinian, he picked up Teng Zijing on his back and left quickly.
"Teng Zijing is not dead. I wonder if you will still be filled with righteous indignation and make a big fuss in Kyoto like in the plot?"
Fan Xian in the play went crazy to investigate because of Teng Zijing's death. What he said was very lofty. Maybe he also had such a thought in his heart, but in the final analysis, it was because he recognized Teng Zijing.
friend.
But if it were any other guard in Fan Mansion, he would never do it to that extent. This is human nature, and he cares more about the people he cares about.
The same is true for Zhou Chen. He never thinks of himself as tall or a great man. He is just a person who cares about his relatives and friends. It is impossible for him to have the same empathy as his relatives for other people and other things.
Fan Xian was assassinated, causing an uproar in Kyoto, and all forces were eyeing Fan Xian.
When they discovered that Fan Xian went to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion immediately after he was assassinated, many people were very surprised. No one expected that Fan Xian and Zhenguo Duke Zhou Chen were actually related.
During this chaotic period, Si Lili disguised himself and came to the Zhenguo Palace at night and met Zhou Chen.
"Assassinating Fan Xian has caused too much noise. Sooner or later I will be found. I can't stay in Kyoto anymore. I plan to leave Kyoto tomorrow. I came here specifically to say goodbye to you tonight."
Si Lili's eyes flashed with reluctance. Kyoto was actually her hometown, but she had to leave her hometown.
In today's Kyoto, there are not many people who can make her miss her, and Zhou Chen may be the person she is most reluctant to leave. After a few months of getting along, she has unprecedented feelings for this man. He suddenly wants to leave, which is very...
Reluctant to give up.
Zhou Chen looked at the Si Lili in front of him who had lost a lot of his dusty look, and said softly: "It's okay to leave, Kyoto is a whirlpool, it's too dangerous. Don't worry, I promised Haitang Duoduo that I will protect you."
, on your way out, I will have someone protect you and escort you safely to the border, and Haitang Duoduo will pick you up when the time comes."
"Is it just because of Duoduo that you protect me?" 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 am very carefree and have more than one woman around me, so you need to seriously consider it."
Si Lili understood what Zhou Chen meant, and she held Zhou Chen's hand instead.
"I will. If I go back to Beiqi, will you still go to Beiqi?"
"certainly."
"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, it was obviously the eldest princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Zhan Pianpian, who was higher.
Si Lili understands everything. She has experienced a lot in these years, so she doesn't have any jealousy. Compared to Zhan Pianpian, she is indeed a latecomer.
"If you are going to Beiqi, you must tell me."
"must."
Si Lili left. After she left, Zhou Chen also made arrangements. He said that he would protect Si Lili and return to Beiqi, and he would do what he said.
On the second day after the assassination on Niulan Street, Fan Xian was dissatisfied that the forensic institute wanted to let Cheng Jushu go, so he chose to kill Cheng Jushu at the entrance of the forensic institute in public.
At the same time, Si Lili also began to plan her own evacuation. She did not tell Zhou Chen how to leave because she did not want to implicate Zhou Chen.
Although Teng Zijing is not dead, the plot still unfolds in the same way, which is also related to Fan Xian's character of revenge.
In order to investigate the assassination, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian quickly identified Si Lili as a spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and then prepared to chase the escaped Si Lili.
Thinking of the relationship between Si Lili and Zhou Chen, Fan Xian was a little worried, so he brought the 10,000 taels of silver banknotes he collected from his father Fan Jian and his sister Fan Ruoruo to the Zhenguo Palace and explained this to Zhou Chen.
thing.
"Si Lili is a spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty? Has it been confirmed?"
Zhou Chen accepted the banknote and was immediately surprised when he heard Fan Xian talk about Si Lili. Fan Xian, who had been staring at his expression closely, could not see any problem at all.
Fan Xian cupped his hands and said, "It seems Zhou Guogong was also kept in the dark. We are going to go after Si Lili now."
Zhou Chen said with an indifferent expression: "Then you go ahead. If you really catch her, don't hurt her. After all, we have known each other for such a long time, and we still have feelings for her."
Fan Xian understood what Zhou Chen meant, responded, and then left with Wang Qinian.
"Wang Qinian, do you think what Zhou Guogong said is true?"
"ah?"
Wang Qinian was shocked: "Dong Zhenguo, he has no reason to lie to us. He is a great master and is extraordinary. There is no reason for him to collude with the spies of the Northern Qi Dynasty."
"That's true."
Fan Xian was just a little skeptical. He thought that someone as powerful as Zhou Chen had known Si Lili for so long, how could he not notice the problem at all?
But this was just his guess. If Si Lili really wanted to kill him, and Zhou Chen was with Si Lili, there would be no possibility for him and Teng Zijing to survive.
The Grand Master wanted to kill him, but he didn't even have a chance to escape.
