The sudden sound startled both Gu Qianfan and Zhao Pan'er, and when they saw who it was, they were both shocked again.
"Marquis Zhongyong, why are you here? Are you also here for the night banquet?"
Seeing Zhou Chen, Gu Qianfan immediately forgot about his current situation and asked Zhou Chen warily.
Zhou Chen did not answer, but asked: "In this situation, do you think it is the time to ask these questions?"
Gu Qianfan raised his eyebrows and then said nothing.
"Take him and let's go."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Without saying a word, Qin Yi picked up Gu Qianfan, who had fallen limply on the ground.
Zhou Chen walked up to Zhao Pan'er and picked her up under Zhao Pan'er's exclamation.
"What are you doing? Let me go. I can walk by myself."
Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to show off. There are killers around. How can you leave alone? If you attract enemies, we won't be able to leave."
Just now, Zhao Pan'er was also nervous and panicked for a moment. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, she immediately closed her mouth, but her face became extremely rosy. Except for her father when she was a child, she had never been picked up like this.
Although she and Ouyang Xu had made a marriage contract, in this era, girls from good families would basically not violate the etiquette as long as they were not married.
Moreover, that Ouyang Xu wanted to gain fame and shine, and in his eyes, matters between men and women were far less important than fame and career.
Zhou Chen picked up Zhao Pan'er and then told Qin Yi: "Go back first."
Qin Yi nodded, and then the two of them each took one person and quickly left from the vast fire.
Gu Qianfan killed many of the killers who came to attack the Yang Mansion. The remaining people were killing people and setting fires. Zhou Chen and Qin Yi were highly skilled in martial arts, and Zhou Chen was even more agile. Under his leadership, they successfully arrived at the Yang Mansion.
By the wall of the outer courtyard, as long as they leave the Yang Mansion, they can leave.
However, there were still some killers lurking outside the Yang Mansion. Zhou Chen told Qin Yi: "Divide the troops into two groups."
Of course Qin Yi would have no objection. Although he had always said that he wanted to protect Zhou Chen, he actually knew very well that Zhou Chen's martial arts was much stronger than him.
"Oh, oh, wait."
When Zhao Paner saw Qin Yi quickly disappearing into the darkness with Gu Qianfan on his back, she immediately shouted anxiously that she didn't want the antidote yet.
But Qin Yi had already left quickly, and although her shout was not loud, it also attracted the killers outside Yang's house.
"There are still some survivors."
Seven or eight men in black quickly climbed over the wall and came in. Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Pan'er, who was covering her mouth in her arms and looking apologetic, woman.
But Zhou Chen didn't blame her. He knew why Zhao Pan'er was so anxious. She thought she was really poisoned. What if Gu Qianfan ran away and she became poisoned.
In fact, Zhou Chen also deliberately asked Qin Yi to leave with Gu Qianfan. He knew that Zhao Pan'er was not poisoned, but for his own plan, he had to get rid of Gu Qianfan, and then he would have more room for maneuver.
Facing the men in black who were surrounding him, Zhou Chen put Zhao Pan'er in his arms onto his back.
"hold me."
Zhao Pan'er obediently put his arms around Zhou Chen's neck and clamped his legs around Zhou Chen's waist. Even though Zhou Chen had experienced many battles, he was still shaken by such a strong hug and contact from Zhao Pan'er.
This goblin is so easy to fool...
The man in black didn't care who Zhou Chen was, he just pulled out his weapon and killed him.
Holding his nerve, Zhou Chen suddenly rushed out. Although he was carrying Zhao Paner on his back, the weight of an extra person did not affect his movements at all.
"boom!"
Zhou Chen kicked away the man in black who was rushing forward. It was visible to the naked eye that the man's chest collapsed and he flew upside down for several meters before landing.
The other men in black were shocked, but they were dissatisfied with the movement of their hands, and the blade struck straight at them.
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand, grabbed the white blade with his bare hands, and directly snatched the saber of one of the black men. Then he kicked the opponent away, and then slashed the saber towards the other man in black.
When Zhou Chen rushed towards the man in black, Zhao Pan'er had already closed her eyes in fear. Then she felt the sound of wind in her ears, which shook her uncomfortable. She could only hug Zhou Chen harder to prevent herself from Zhou Chen.
Chen's back slipped.
But just after a while, she realized that Zhou Chen was not moving, so she opened her eyes nervously.
"ah?"
Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, Zhao Pan'er subconsciously opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.
By the time she reacted, Zhou Chen was already carrying her and moving quickly on the roof.
At this moment, Zhao Pan'er felt as if she had turned into a little bird and actually flew in the air.
She was greatly shocked tonight, especially the fighting power Zhou Chen showed just now. Zhou Chen actually solved such a powerful man in black so quickly, and this feeling of jumping and flying is something that normal people can do.
?
Zhou Chen did not go back to the inn directly, but ran outside the city.
"Why are you leaving the city? Didn't you say you were going to where you live? You live outside the city?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen actually ran out of the city, Zhao Pan'er asked anxiously and puzzledly.
"Whirring whirring."
Zhou Chen gasped for breath: "I, I carried you all the way, you are very, very tired, okay, you have to let me take a breath."
Zhou Chen calmed down his breathing, and then said: "The reason why we came outside the city is because the men in black were chasing us just now. I couldn't lead them to my residence, so I could only run outside the city and throw them away."
Open them."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm anxious because the commander of the Imperial City Division poisoned me. If I can't detoxify in time, I will die."
Zhou Chen suddenly became anxious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhao Pan'er looked aggrieved: "What I just wanted to say, but your men ran away in the blink of an eye."
Zhou Chen's expression became serious, he put Zhao Pan'er down and pointed under Zhao Pan'er's injured shoulder.
"Is this the wound here?"
"Well, in order for me to save him, that person gave me a dart and said it was coated with poison, and he was the only one who had the antidote."
Zhao Paner looked nervous. Of course she was also afraid of death. She was still so young, who wanted to die?
Zhou Chen had a serious look on his face: "The Imperial City Department is a special agency of the imperial court. It has a very bad reputation. What it is best at is torture and the use of various poisons. If the poison cannot be detoxified in time, it may really endanger your life."
"What should we do? Is it too late for us to go back now?"
Zhao Paner, who was already worried, became even more anxious after hearing this.
Zhou Chen said: "It has been more than an hour since you were poisoned and we escaped. With my current strength, if I go back again, it will take a long time. I'm worried that you will be poisoned before we go back."
"ah?"
Even though Zhao Pan'er is extremely intelligent, when her own life is involved, she is suddenly in chaos.
Zhou Chen suddenly had a hard expression and reached out to grab Zhao Paner's shoulder.
"Master Zhou, you..."
Zhao Pan'er's voice stopped suddenly because Zhou Chen pulled the clothes off her shoulders directly, revealing her smooth and white shoulders and the wounds on her shoulders.
Then, while Zhao Pan'er was still dazed, Zhou Chen pressed on her wound, grabbed the dart with its tail exposed, and pulled hard.
"Well!"
Zhao Paner groaned in pain, but the next moment, she screamed loudly: "Ah, what are you going to do, what are you going to do..."
I saw Zhou Chen suddenly approach the wound under her shoulder, put his mouth towards the wound, and then started sucking hard.
Zhou Chen's move directly made Zhao Pan'er's body go weak. She wanted to push Zhou Chen away hard, but she didn't know whether it was because her hands couldn't use the strength or because Zhou Chen was too strong and she couldn't push him away.
In short, she could only watch helplessly as Zhou Chen lay under her shoulder and sucked the 'poisonous blood' from her wound with his mouth.
Zhao Pan'er could no longer muster any strength and allowed Zhou Chen to drug him. The shame and anger on his face made him want to bite Zhou Chen to death.
"Pooh."
"Pooh."
"Pooh."
Zhou Chen sucked out the 'poisonous blood' and spit it out, going back and forth three times before stopping.
Wiping the blood on his mouth, he said: "Okay, I should have sucked up the poisonous blood."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Pan'er looked at him with cold eyes and opened her lips lightly.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I'm easy to trick? It's been so long since I was hit by a dart, and I can detoxify just by sucking out the poisonous blood from the wound?"
Zhou Chen suddenly looked awkward, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "That should be okay. When we were on the battlefield, some of our comrades were hit by poisonous arrows. They inhaled them like this, and then applied medicine to detoxify them.
."
"I'm very grateful that you rescued me from the Yang Mansion, but you don't need to use such a stupid way to coax me. I'm not a little girl who doesn't understand the world. Also, although I'm just a lowly folk girl, I also care about my own.
I won't let anyone belittle me because of my reputation."
Zhao Pan'er's face was still full of frost: "I don't know why you did this, but you did save my life. I can expose what happened just now, but it will only be known to you and me. If you tell others, I
There is only one death.”
Zhou Chen's face changed slightly. He admitted that he did have his own motives for doing what he did just now. He also expected Zhao Pan'er's fierce reaction. He did take advantage of others' danger by doing this, but in order to win Zhao Pan'er's heart, he gave him another chance.
Will still do that.
"I'm sorry, I overstepped my limits, but I really didn't think about anything else just now, I just wanted to detoxify you."
But Zhou Chen continued: "I know how important reputation is to a woman, so if you are willing, I am willing to marry you."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Pan'er sneered even more disdainfully: "Marry me? Will you take me back to be your concubine and let me be at your mercy? I admit that you are a noble lord and have a high status. I am just a little commoner, but even if I am just a commoner's daughter, I
I also have my own persistence. I, Zhao Paner, will never be a concubine in my life, no matter what the object is..."
"A decent lady."
"Um?"
Zhao Pan'er, who spoke sharply, seemed to have been strangled by the neck before he finished speaking, and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.
"You, what did you say?"
Zhou Chen said with a serious expression: "I said, I did something like that to you. If you are willing, I will marry you, not as a concubine, but as a real wife."
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy."
Although Zhao Pan'er had never had this idea, she was still shocked by Zhou Chen's words at this moment.
Zhou Chen was a loyal and brave prince, but she was just a commoner. She had been a lowly citizen before and was a famous prostitute.
The status of the two people can be said to be very different. She even lowered herself to Ouyang Xu, a scholar. She would never dare to dream of being a noble like Zhou Chen.
But she quickly realized why she was thinking about this. No matter how noble Zhou Chen was, it had nothing to do with her.
"I don't care if you are crazy or not. It has nothing to do with me. As I just said, just pretend that what just happened never happened."
Originally, Zhao Pan'er wanted to vent a few words, but Zhou Chen's words made her unable to say any fierce words anymore. She just hoped that Zhou Chen could forget the matter.
Zhou Chen still said seriously: "It's me, Meng Lang, today, but what I just said came from the sincerity, and I can promise you that as long as I am unmarried and you are unmarried, my promise to marry you as my first wife will always be valid."
.”
"That's enough, stop talking."
Zhao Pan'er quickly interrupted Zhou Chen. She didn't feel much joy in her heart, but fear.
Even though Zhou Chen is in front of her, she still feels that Zhou Chen is far away from her, not to mention that she only has Ouyang Xu in her heart and has never thought of marrying someone else.
"Okay, I won't talk anymore. How do you feel now? How about we go back to the city after taking a rest?"
"Um."
Zhao Pan'er responded and stopped talking. Everything that happened tonight had a great impact on her, and she might not have a peaceful life in the future.
Zhou Chen sat down a few meters away from Zhao Pan'er. Neither of them spoke anymore. Zhao Pan'er took a handkerchief from his body, covered his wound, and covered up his clothes.
After doing this, she stared blankly ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.
She didn't know whether Zhou Chen's drug use just now had any effect, but at least now she didn't feel anything wrong with her body, so she gradually relaxed.
After a while, Zhao Pan'er suddenly remembered something. The timing of Zhou Chen's appearance in the Yang Mansion was too coincidental.
"Zhou, Lord Zhou, I would like to ask, did you go to Yang Mansion for business, or did you come to see me specifically?"
"I'm looking for you. Today, when my men were following my sister Song Yinzhang, they found that she had brought more than a dozen boxes and wanted to elope with Zhou She, so they stopped them on the boat and captured them.
I'm there."
"What?"
Zhao Pan'er was shocked and ignored the embarrassment just now. She sat upright in shock and looked at Zhou Chen.
"Are you saying that Yin Zhang was taken away by you and she didn't run away?"
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Well, yesterday at your tea shop, didn't you hear me asking someone to follow me for protection? It was just in case, but I didn't expect that Zhou She was really clever, and so was your sister.
It's so stupid that you actually ignored the laws of the Jiaofangsi and really wanted to elope with him."
Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed again: "Oh, she is too naive to lead Zhang. I have warned her, but I didn't expect that she would still be stupid. Fortunately, Lord Zhou, you have made arrangements in advance, I will lead on your behalf."
I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Marquis for his great kindness and kindness, which we will always remember in our hearts."
With that said, she gave a big gift to Zhou Chen. She was truly grateful to Zhou Chen. Without Zhou Chen, she couldn't imagine what kind of punishment Song Yinzhang would have received after his elopement was discovered.
"There's no need to thank you. After all, I can't stand Zhou She's despicable behavior."
"It's just a trivial thing for you, but for Yin Zhang, it's a life-saving grace. Thank you, thank you very much."
"Master and servant Song Yinzhang, as well as Zhou She, are at my place now. You will go back with me later. It is up to you to decide how to deal with them."
Zhao Paner was very grateful and thanked her again.
Song Yinzhang's matter was resolved, her mood suddenly became better, and her body seemed to have regained her strength.
"Master Zhou, it's getting late now, let's go back."
"Are you sure you can walk back without my help?" Zhou Chen asked with concern.
Zhao Pan'er shook his head and said firmly: "I just injured my shoulder, it's not serious. I can walk back by myself."
Although she was grateful to Zhou Chen, she never dared to have skin-to-skin contact with Zhou Chen again.
