But waiting would lead to problems. When Yang Zhiyuan came back, Gu Qianfan, the commander of the Imperial City Division, actually led his men into the Yang Mansion, scaring her so much that she had to hide.
She was not discovered, but instead heard a lot of secrets. But what was even more unfortunate was that a group of killers appeared in Yang's Mansion, rushed into the mansion and killed indiscriminately, leaving no one alive.
Gu Qianfan led his men to fight with the killers. Although the Imperial City Division deployed elite troops, the number of killers was extremely large. Gu Qianfan tried his best but was still seriously injured.
The people in Yang Mansion suffered even more miserably, as they were all subjected to a bloody massacre.
When Zhou Chen arrived near Yang's Mansion, he immediately discovered something was wrong, then he dismounted with Qin Yi and sneaked into Yang's Mansion.
Gu Qianfan was seriously injured by the killer and was on the verge of despair. Suddenly, he saw a figure running from the front. He immediately took out a dart and shot it.
Zhao Paner, who was running away in a panic, didn't pay any attention to the dart and was hit by it and fell to the ground instantly.
Gu Qianfan lay on the ground and threatened with difficulty: "Save me, your darts are poisonous. If you don't save me, you will die too."
Zhao Pan'er looked at Gu Qianfan with hatred. She certainly didn't want to save Gu Qianfan, but considering her own life, she could only grit her teeth and compromise.
Just as she was about to get up and rescue Gu Qianfan, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Tsk, Commander Gu, Madam Zhao, it looks like you're in a bad situation."

Chapter 968 Zhou Chen's method, physical intimacy
"Lord Zhou?"
"Marquis Zhongyong?"
The sudden voice startled both Gu Qianfan and Zhao Pan'er. When they saw who it was, they were shocked again.
"Lord Zhongyong, why are you here? Are you here for the Night Banquet as well?"
When he saw Zhou Chen, Gu Qianfan suddenly forgot his current situation and asked Zhou Chen vigilantly.
Zhou Chen did not answer, but asked: "Do you think this is the right time to ask these questions in this situation?"
Gu Qianfan raised his eyebrows and then said nothing more.
"Take him and go."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Qin Yi picked up Gu Qianfan, who had fallen to the ground, without saying a word.
Zhou Chen walked to Zhao Paner's side, and picked her up when she screamed.
"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 assassins everywhere. How can you leave alone? If you attract the enemy, we won't be able to leave."
Zhao Pan'er was also nervous and flustered for a moment just now. After hearing Zhou Chen's words, she immediately closed her mouth, but her face became unusually red. Except for her father when she was a child, she had never been held like this by anyone.
Although she had an engagement with Ouyang Xu, in this era, decent girls would not violate etiquette as long as they were not married.
Moreover, Ouyang Xu was even more determined to pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to his family. In his eyes, matters between men and women were far less important than fame and official 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 the fire.
Many of the assassins who came to attack Yang's Mansion were killed by Gu Qianfan, and the rest were killing and burning. Zhou Chen and Qin Yi were both highly skilled in martial arts, and Zhou Chen was even more agile. Under his leadership, they successfully came to the wall of the outer courtyard of Yang's Mansion. As long as they got out of Yang's Mansion, they could leave.
However, there were still some assassins lying in ambush outside Yang's house. Zhou Chen ordered Qin Yi: "Divide the troops into two groups."
Qin Yi certainly had no objection. Although he always said that he wanted to protect Zhou Chen, he actually knew very well that Zhou Chen's martial arts was much stronger than his.
"Ah, ah, wait."
When Zhao Pan'er saw Qin Yi carrying Gu Qianfan and quickly disappearing into the darkness, she shouted anxiously, saying that she had not yet received the antidote.
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 survivors."
Seven or eight men in black quickly climbed over the wall. Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Pan'er, who had covered her mouth with her hands in his arms, her eyes full of apology. What a woman.
But Zhou Chen didn't blame her. He knew why Zhao Pan'er was so anxious. She thought she was really poisoned. If Gu Qianfan ran away, what would she do if the poison took effect?
In fact, Zhou Chen deliberately let Qin Yi take Gu Qianfan away. He knew that Zhao Pan'er was not poisoned, but for the sake of his own plan, he had to get Gu Qianfan away, and then he would have more room for operation.
Facing the men in black who were surrounding him, Zhou Chen put Zhao Pan'er in his arms on his back.
"hold me."
Zhao Pan'er obediently put her arms around Zhou Chen's neck and clamped her legs around his waist. Even though Zhou Chen was a veteran, he was still moved by Zhao Pan'er's strong hug and contact.
This goblin is so easy to get carried away...
The man in black didn't care who Zhou Chen was, he drew his weapon and killed him.
Holding his composure, Zhou Chen suddenly rushed out. Although he was carrying Zhao Pan'er and the weight of an extra person did not affect his movements at all.
"boom!"
Zhou Chen kicked the black-clothed man who was in the front and sent him flying. It was visibly that a part of the man’s chest collapsed, and he flew backwards for several meters before landing on the ground.
The other men in black were all shocked, but their hands did not move with satisfaction, and the blades attacked directly.
Zhou Chen stretched out his hand and snatched the sword from one of the black men with his bare hands. Then he kicked the man away and swung the sword to chop at another man in black.
When Zhou Chen rushed towards the man in black, Zhao Pan'er was so scared that she closed her eyes. Then she felt gusts of wind in her ears, which made her feel uncomfortable. She could only hug Zhou Chen more tightly to prevent herself from slipping off his back.
But after just a while, she found that Zhou Chen was not moving, so she opened her eyes nervously.
"what?"
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zhao Paner subconsciously opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.
By the time she reacted, Zhou Chen was already carrying her on his back and moving quickly across the roof.
At this moment, Zhao Paner felt like she had turned into a little bird and was flying in the air.
The shock she received tonight was too great, especially the fighting power Zhou Chen had just displayed. Zhou Chen had dealt with such a powerful man in black so quickly, and this feeling of jumping and flying, is it possible for a normal person to do this?
Zhou Chen did not go back to the inn directly, but ran out of the city instead.
"Why are you leaving the city? Didn't you say you were going to where you live? You live outside the city?"
When Zhao Paner saw that Zhou Chen actually ran out of the city, she asked anxiously and puzzledly.
"Whirring whirring."
Zhou Chen panted heavily: "I, I carried you all the way, I'm very, very tired, okay, you have to let me take a breath."
Zhou Chen smoothed his breath and continued, "The reason we came to the outskirts of the city is because the men in black were chasing us. I couldn't lead them to my residence, so I had to run out of the city and get rid of 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 say so earlier?"
Zhao Pan'er looked aggrieved: "I just wanted to say that, but your subordinates ran away in the blink of an eye."
Zhou Chen's expression became serious. He put Zhao Pan'er down and pointed at the area below Zhao Pan'er's injured shoulder.
"Is it the wound here?"
"Well, that man gave me a dart in order to get me to save him. He also said it was coated with poison and he was the only one who had the antidote."
Zhao Pan'er looked nervous. Of course she was afraid of death. She was still so young, who would want to die?
Zhou Chen's face was heavy: "The Imperial City Department is a special agency of the imperial court. It has a very bad reputation. It is best at torture and using various poisons. If the poison cannot be detoxified in time, it may really endanger 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, it will take a long time to go back. I am worried that the poison will take effect before we get back."
"what?"
Even though Zhao Pan'er was extremely intelligent, she was at a loss for a moment when it came to her own life.
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly turned fierce and he reached out to grab Zhao Paner's shoulders.
"Lord Zhou, you..."
Zhao Paner's voice suddenly stopped because Zhou Chen pulled her clothes off her shoulders, revealing her smooth and white shoulders and the wound on her shoulders.
Then, while Zhao Pan'er was still in a daze, Zhou Chen pressed his hand on her wound, grabbed the exposed tail end of the dart, and pulled it hard.
"Uh!"
Zhao Pan'er groaned in pain, but the next moment, she screamed loudly: "Ah, what are you doing, what are you going to do..."
Zhou Chen suddenly approached the wound below her shoulder, put his mouth on the wound, and then sucked fiercely.
Zhou Chen's action made Zhao Pan'er's body go weak. She wanted to push Zhou Chen away, but she didn't know whether it was because her hands were too weak or Zhou Chen was too strong for her to push.
In short, she could only watch Zhou Chen lying under her shoulder and sucking the "poisonous blood" from her wound with his mouth.
Zhao Pan'er no longer had any strength left and let Zhou Chen give her drugs. Her face was filled with shame and anger, and she wished she could bite Zhou Chen to death.
"Pooh."
"Pooh."
"Pooh."
Zhou Chen sucked out the "poisonous blood" and spit it out, repeating this three times before stopping.
After wiping the blood from his mouth, he said, "Okay, I think I have sucked most of the poisonous blood out of you."
But Zhao Pan'er looked at him with cold eyes and slightly opened her lips.
"Do you think I'm stupid? That I'm easy to fool? It's been so long since I was hit by the dart. Can the poison be cured just by sucking out the poisonous blood from the wound?"
Zhou Chen's expression suddenly became awkward, but he still pretended to be calm and answered: "This should work. When we were on the battlefield, some of our comrades were hit by poison arrows. They all sucked the poison like this, and then applied medicine to detoxify them."
"I am very grateful that you saved me from the Yang Mansion, but you don't need to use such a stupid way to coax me. I am not a little girl who knows nothing about the world. Also, although I am just a lowly girl, I also care about my reputation and will not let anyone look down on me."
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 tell you about what happened just now, but it's only between you and me. If you tell others, I will die."
Zhou Chen's face changed slightly. He admitted that he did have his own little thoughts when he did that just now. He also expected Zhao Pan'er's intense reaction. Doing so was indeed taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but in order to win Zhao Pan'er's heart, if he was given another chance, he would still do it.
"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds, but I really wasn't thinking about anything else just now. I was only thinking about detoxifying you."
"Stop talking." Zhao Pan'er interrupted Zhou Chen coldly.
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 with even more disdain: "Marry me? Marry me and be my concubine, and let you control me? I admit that you are a marquis with a high status, and I am just a small commoner. But even if I am just a commoner girl, I have my own persistence. I, Zhao Pan'er, will never be a concubine in this life, no matter who the object is..."
"Madam Zhengtou."
"Ok?"
Zhao Paner, who was known for her sharp words, felt as if someone had grabbed her by the neck before she could finish her words. She looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.
"You, what did you say?"
Zhou Chen said with a serious expression: "I said, I did that to you. If you are willing, I will marry you, not as a concubine, but as my principal wife."
“You, are you crazy?”
"I'm not crazy."
Although Zhao Pan'er had never had this idea before, she was still shocked by Zhou Chen's words at this moment.
Zhou Chen was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but she was just a commoner. She had even been a prostitute in the past.
The identities of the two people are very different. She even has to humble herself to be with Ouyang Xu, a scholar. She dare not even dream of being with a great noble like Zhou Chen.
But she quickly realized why she should think about these things. No matter how noble Zhou Chen's status was, it had nothing to do with her.
"I don't care if you're crazy or not. It has nothing to do with me. Just as I said just now, just pretend that what happened just now never happened."
Originally, Zhao Pan'er wanted to vent a few words, but Zhou Chen's words made her unable to say anything fierce. She just hoped that Zhou Chen could forget about it.
Zhou Chen still said seriously: "I am Meng Lang today, but what I said just now came from the heart, and I can assure 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 Paner quickly interrupted Zhou Chen. She didn't feel too happy in her heart, but rather panic.
Even though Zhou Chen was right in front of her, she still felt that he was very far away from her, not to mention that she only had Ouyang Xu in her heart and had never thought of marrying anyone else.
