Chapter 1445: No Relatives? Assassination at Niulanshan

Zhou Chen didn't want to talk nonsense to Zhou Xingniang, and said directly: "Since we have just moved to Kyoto, aunt should go and settle down at home first. Kyoto is big and difficult to live in, so I won't stay. Tong Quan, go get five hundred taels of silver. Think of this money as a gift for your promotion."

Tong Quan was about to withdraw the money, but Zhou Xingniang said hurriedly: "Acheng, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Zhou Chen frowned impatiently: "Auntie, what else can I do?"

Zhou Xingniang said with a friendly face: "Ah Chen, we are a family. Our family has just moved to Kyoto and we don't have a place to live. Your town is so big, so I think our family will live in the Duke's Mansion for the time being." "What do you think about moving out when you are stable?"

"I don't think so."

Zhou Chen didn't give any face and refused directly.

"Achen, we are a family, and I am your aunt. If you can no longer develop, you will not care about your aunt. If your father finds out, he will definitely..."

Zhou Chen glanced over, and Zhou Xingniang's words stopped abruptly, and the whole person was shocked by Zhou Chen's momentum.

"Sorry, my mansion is too small, not suitable for more people, and it is inconvenient. Auntie should find a place to stay in Kyoto by herself."

"Achen, we can't find a place at the moment. Why don't you let us stay for a few days first?"

Zhou Chen didn't speak, just looked at Zhou Xingniang calmly, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

A Yuan pulled on his mother's clothes and whispered: "Mom, my cousin said it's inconvenient, forget it, you should talk about me."

When Zhou Xingniang was reminded by her son, she suddenly realized that if she had an unpleasant quarrel with Zhou Chen over this matter, her son's affairs would be difficult to handle. Compared with temporary residence, her son's future was more important.

So she showed a kind smile again: "Since it's inconvenient for Ah Chen, I won't force it, but Ah Chen, aunt has something to ask you for help."

"Your brother A Yuan is also eighteen this year. This child can't study well, and he doesn't have the skills like you, A Chen, but we can't let him stay at home all the time, so my aunt wants to ask you for help. Help A Yuan find Let’s do something. You are now the Duke of the Kingdom and the fifth greatest master in the world. You are deeply favored by the emperor, so you will definitely be able to help. Please help your brother. "

This request was not unexpected by Zhou Chen. In fact, he had already guessed the reason when she introduced Gong Yuan just now.

His eyes turned to Gong Yuan. This kid looked pretty good, but his wandering eyes had turned around countless times in just a short while. It was clear at a glance that he was not a good person.

"Although I am the Duke of Zhenguo now, I have no official position in the court. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this."

"How could you not be able to help? Ah Chen, you are the Duke of the State and a Grand Master. Even His Majesty has to give you some face. A Yuan, this kid, is down-to-earth and capable. He just wants to enter the inspection institute. I heard that Ah Chen You know Director Chen of the Institute of Inspection, can you intercede for A Yuan and let him enter the Institute of Inspection? "

"Want to go to the forensic institute?"

Zhou Chen looked surprised, what a good guy, he is very ambitious.

Now he was absolutely certain that Emperor Qing must have deliberately transferred this family back to Kyoto for his own sake. He had to admit now that he was really disgusted by them.

A Yuan licked his face and said to please: "Yes, cousin, the inspection institute is very strict in accepting people, but with your status and identity, cousin, it is definitely a matter of one sentence to let me in. Cousin, as long as I enter the inspection institute I will definitely do a good job in checking the hospital. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west."

This shame is really inherited from Zhou Xingniang, Zhou Chen no longer wants to say anything to these two women.

"It doesn't matter that I'm not familiar with Chen Pingping, so I can't help you with this. Tong Quan, see you off."

After saying that, he took Sang Wen's hand and was about to leave, but halfway there, he turned back.

"Achen."

"cousin."

Seeing Zhou Chen come back, Zhou Xingniang and Gong Yuan both looked overjoyed and thought Zhou Chen had changed his mind.

But Zhou Chen pulled Sang Wen to his side, pointed at her, and said to Zhou Xingniang: "You seemed to have scolded her just now. She is my woman. If you scold her, you are scolding me. For the sake of us, For the sake of being a blood relative, I don't care about you. Just apologize to her and let the matter be over."

When Zhou Xingniang heard this, she jumped immediately: "You want me to apologize to her? She is just a slut from a brothel..."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Chen slapped him directly. Zhou Xingniang spun around three times, fell to the ground, covered her face, and looked at Zhou Chen in shock and fear.

"You dare to hit me? I am your aunt, you dare to hit me?"

"Just because you are my aunt, I just slapped you. If it had been someone else, I would have broken his legs."

"Apologize!"

Zhou Chen's cold gaze made Zhou Xingniang's body tremble. She was just an ordinary woman. She could not withstand Zhou Chen's power. Just a cold look left her speechless.

"Mother, mother."

Gong Yuan knelt down to support his mother, and immediately stared at Zhou Chen with burning eyes.

"You dare to hit my mother, I, I...I...what do you want, don't hit me."

I was stunned for a long time, but I didn't say the following words. I was so frightened that I sat down on the ground and hid behind my mother.

Seeing how cowardly he was, Zhou Chen lost interest. At this level, he still wanted to enter the forensic institute, unless Chen Pingping was blind.

"I'll say it again, apologize."

Under Zhou Chen's power, Zhou Xingniang apologized to Sang Wen in humiliation.

"Tong Quan, send them out. Remember, don't let them in without my permission in the future."

"Yes, young master."

Tong Quan responded, and then looked down at Zhou Xingniang and her son with a blank expression.

"Madam, young master, please come in."

Zhou Xingniang was furious. It was okay to be beaten by Zhou Chen, the powerful nephew, but Tong Quan, a servant, dared to look at her with such eyes.

"How dare you..."

"Madam, please don't make it difficult for me?"

As soon as the voice fell, several people guarding outside the door immediately surrounded them, staring at Zhou Xingniang and her son with a covetous look.

Zhou Xingniang and Gong Yuan looked gloomy. Looking at the strong Tong Quan and several guards, their tempers suddenly subsided by half.

"Madam, young master, please come in."

Zhou Xingniang's face was extremely ugly, but she could no longer be tough.

"Good, very good, still as cold and ruthless as before, now he dares to hit even the elders, how could my brother raise such a rebellious person who doesn't recognize his relatives..."

"Auntie!"

Tong Quan's voice suddenly rose, staring at Zhou Xingniang with cold eyes: "It doesn't matter if you hit me or scold me, but if you dare to scold the young master, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhou Xingniang was frightened and took two steps back, and then she felt extremely humiliated. She was actually frightened by a servant. Just as she was about to get angry, she was stopped by Gong Yuan.

"Mother."

Seeing the fear on her son's face, plus the several guards around him, she immediately felt sympathetic.

"Okay, I'll go, Tong Quan, right? Your young master said to bring me five hundred taels of silver."

The face was lost, but the silver still had to be taken.

Tong Quan looked contemptuous. The master and the young master were both heroes, how could they have such blood relatives? It was a disgrace to the Zhou family.

Sang Wen went back to the courtyard with Zhou Chen, and said worriedly, "Sir, you beat up the old lady. If this gets out, it will be bad for you. People outside may accuse you of being unfilial for beating up your elders."

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Let them be at peace. Anyway, my reputation in Kyoto is not good. It can't be any worse. The worse my reputation is, the more at ease our Majesty will be."

"Sir."

"It's okay. There are only you and me here. Don't worry. Just remember, when you are with me, in this Kyoto, don't believe anyone except me."

Zhou Chen didn't want Sang Wen to worry, but some things still needed to be reminded in advance.

Sang Wen didn't quite understand, but she believed Zhou Chen's words. She did whatever Zhou Chen told her to do.

The matter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion soon reached the ears of Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, the aunt of the Duke of Zhenguo is really incompetent. Not long after, she was driven out of the Zhou Mansion and beaten. In the end, it seems that she only got 500 taels of silver."

"Haha."

Emperor Qing laughed loudly, which really amused him.

"It's really a hopeless case, but this Zhou Chen is really heartless. After all, she is my aunt. He didn't give her any face and even took action. I'm not afraid of those literati scolding him; but if you say he is heartless, he treats a brothel girl a hundred times better than his aunt. It's really interesting."

It was his handiwork to transfer Zhou Xingniang's family to Kyoto. Otherwise, with Zhou Xingniang's man, he would never be able to return to Kyoto in his lifetime.

He transferred Zhou Xingniang's family back to test Zhou Chen.

Among the five great masters in the world, he, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, who could become great masters, all learned the skills from Ye Qingmei. Only Ye Liuyun and Zhou Chen were great masters who achieved their own success.

Ye Liuyun entered the Grandmaster stage with Liuyun Sanshou, while Zhou Chen became the Grandmaster by creating Ruyi Jin.

He used the Ye family to subdue Ye Liuyun, which shows that Ye Liuyun is still too human, so he also wants to test Zhou Chen. Zhou Xingniang is Zhou Chen's only aunt with blood in this world.

But now it seems that Zhou Chen is really ruthless to this aunt. At least he can't use Zhou Xingniang to control Zhou Chen.

"Do you think he is acting on purpose?"

Eunuch Hou was shocked: "No?"

"I really don't want to act. Anyway, it's just a casual move. It's useless now, but it may be useful in the future. Keep it for now."

Zhou Chen is still honest now. Although Emperor Qing is afraid of him, he has not decided to deal with him. At present, Emperor Qing's greatest energy is still on the frontline confrontation with Northern Qi.

Now Qing and Northern Qi are confronting each other on the border. Both sides have invested a large number of troops, and the war is about to break out.

This is a war related to the fate of the country, which is what Emperor Qing is most concerned about at present.

Another night, Si Lili suddenly sent Zhou Chen a letter. The content of the letter was simple, that is, her identity was exposed, and she was threatened to hand over the command token of the Northern Qi spy.

Zhou Chen received this news and immediately understood what was going on.

Although the things between Si Lili and Fan Xian were changed, she was still betrayed by the high-level officials of Northern Qi and was used by the princess as a pawn to kill Fan Xian.

Zhou Chen wrote her a letter back, telling her to be ready to leave Kyoto at any time, and he would help and send her back to Northern Qi.

Since he promised Haitang Duoduo, he would naturally not let Si Lili suffer like in the plot, but now the war between Northern Qi and Qing is imminent, and it is not an easy thing for Si Lili to return to Northern Qi from Qing, and he also needs to make arrangements.

When necessary, he may have to do it 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 into his arms.

"I should be getting married soon. I will take you in when the time comes, but you can only be my concubine."

Sang Wen leaned in Zhou Chen's arms and said softly: "It is already a high level for me to be the concubine of the young master. As long as I can stay with the young master, I am willing even if I have no status."

"The young master is marrying a wife, is she the princess of Northern Qi?"

"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, they can be regarded as his confidante, but his love for Zhan Pianpian is deeper. If he wants to marry a wife, he will definitely marry Zhan Pianpian. No matter the relationship or identity, it is the most suitable.

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

"This eldest princess must be very good if she can make the young master miss her."

Sang Wen didn't have the slightest bit of jealousy towards Zhan Pianpian, he just wanted to see the princess.

After Fan Xian agreed to the second prince's appointment at Zuixianju, he calculated the time the next day and drove to Zuixianju with Teng Zijing.

But when they passed through Niulan Street, something unexpected happened and they were attacked by assassins. First they were two female assassins. As soon as they solved them, they met a more powerful master.

The eighth-grade horizontal training master of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Cheng Jushu!

Fan Xian and Teng Zijing are actually not weak in strength. If they join forces, they can fight against eighth-level masters.

But Cheng Jushu is quite special. He is an eighth-level horizontal training master. He has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely powerful. He is stronger and more durable than ordinary eighth-level players. He can completely overpower Fan Xian and Teng Zijing, even if the two of them use He tried his best, but faced Cheng Jushu with astonishing defense and strength, he was still no match.

The two of them's attacks on Cheng Jushu were completely different concepts from those of Cheng Jushu's attacks on the two of them.

In just a short period of time, both of them were seriously injured by Cheng Jushu. They both wanted the other to escape first, but they refused to leave. In the end, they both stayed to fight with Cheng Jushu.

In the end, Teng Zijing was beaten like a rag by Cheng Jushu and was thrown aside, without any further movement.

When Fan Xian saw this scene, his domineering energy exploded, severely injuring Cheng Jushu. He himself was also seriously injured and lost strength, falling to the ground.

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

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian ignored his own injuries and rushed to Teng Zijing's side to check Teng Zijing's pulse.

Teng Zijing's pulse was extremely weak. Just like Wang Qinian said, he might die in the next moment, and Teng Zijing was no longer conscious.

"Wang Qinian, you are familiar with Beijing. Tell me, where can I save Teng Zijing? Who can save Teng Zijing?"

Wang Qinian sighed: "Sir, most of the meridians in Teng Zijing's body were severed, and his internal organs were also severely damaged. Although he is still alive, he is hopeless."

"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 should I save him?"

Fan Xian shouted excitedly, and Wang Qinian sighed: "Sir, you studied under Mr. Fei. Don't you know whether he can be saved?"

Fan Xian's body trembled, as if he had been hit hard. He is good at poisoning, and his medical skills are naturally not bad. As Wang Qinian said, Teng Zijing's condition could almost be a death sentence.

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

Suddenly, his mind jolted, and he remembered his experience at the Zhenguo Palace a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly burst into light.

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

"Zhen Guo Gongfu, Zhou Guo Gong?"

Wang Qinian looked surprised. Zhou Chen was indeed the Grand Master, but did the Grand Master really have the ability to bring the dead back to life?

But Fan Xian urged urgently: "Stop asking, just carry Teng Zijing on your back and go to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion."

Wang Qinian didn't ask any more questions and obediently carried Teng Zijing on his back. Fan Xian paused for a moment when he passed a giant tree on the road.

Wang Qinian said immediately: "Don't worry, sir. The people from the inspection institute will be here soon. Cheng Jushu can't escape."

Therefore, Fan Xian stopped taking care of Cheng Jushu and went to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion with Wang Qinian with unsteady steps.
