Start Six Maids

The drunk Taoist pointed at Gong Ping and said, "This man is a thief, he wants to steal our things!"

Gong Ping rolled his eyes, and wanted to escape but was grabbed by Chu Ci's wrist, so he could only fall to the ground and roll around.

"You are talking nonsense! You are human traffickers!"

"Woooooooo..."

Gong Ping covered his face with one hand and sobbed, "Uncles, they are really human traffickers!"

When Gong Ping cried, many people around immediately felt sympathetic.

"Let go of that kid!"

Someone stepped forward and pulled Chu Ci's arm, trying to make Chu Ci release him.

Seeing this, Chu Ci had no choice but to let go of Gong Ping's hand.

Gong Ping noticed the loosening of his wrist, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Yi Gu Lu got up from the ground, and Ji Liu squeezed into the crowd like a fish.

When Chuci and the others explained clearly, Gong Ping had long since disappeared.

"This little thief is really a thief!"

Chu Ci shook his head and chuckled, and greeted Zui Dao humanely, "Let's go and find the inn."

The drunken Taoist took a sip of wine and said, "If you want to find an inn, come with the poor Taoist!"

Taoist Zui has been to this Black Water City, so naturally he won't lose sight of it, so it's quite easy to find an inn.

Xiaoer, let's have a pot of tea.

That's the name of the teahouse in front of me.

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help saying, "Isn't it a teahouse for Xiao Er to return the pot of tea?"

The drunken Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, "You also work part-time in an inn, so why not make money?"

Chu Ci smiled and nodded, "That's right!"

"Let's go in and listen to the twist to relieve fatigue!"

The three of them stepped into the teahouse, and Xiao Er greeted them with bright eyes.

"Would you like to drink tea or stay in the hotel?"

Chu Ci casually tossed out a piece of silver and said, "Drink tea and stay in the hotel!"

"okay!"

Xiao Er took Sui Yin and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, the tea will be here soon!"

Chu Ci and the others found a corner seat and sat down, looking around.

The decoration of the teahouse is the same as that of the small teapots in Shengjing City, except that this teahouse has an extra floor and a third floor, which should be guest rooms for pedestrians.

ding ding dong dong

The crisp pipa sounded.

Chu Ci heard the sound and looked, and saw a woman bowed her head and plucked the strings in the east corner of the teahouse.

The woman's black hair is like a waterfall, tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Although he can't see his face clearly with his head down, but from the profile of his face, he can also know the appearance of a very human being.

"Guest officer, your tea is here!"

Xiao Er put the teapot on the desk, "You guys take it easy!"

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

The drunk Taoist stopped Xiao Er, stroked his beard and asked, "When will the merchant ship crossing the Heishui River depart?"

Xiaoer heard the words and replied without thinking, "Two days later!"

The drunk Taoist nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, go get busy."

Xiao Er turned and left.

Chu Ci looked at the drunken Taoist and asked aloud, "We have to wait for two more days to cross the Heishui River?"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Otherwise? We don't have a big boat to cross the Heishui River!"

The Heishui River is nearly a hundred miles wide, and the current is so fast that it cannot be crossed without a big boat.

The drunk Taoist poured himself a cup of tea, and explained aloud, "If we want to cross the Heishui River, we must take the merchant ships of those big merchants."

"The merchants need to prepare supplies, so merchant ships are not available every day. Fortunately, merchant ships have crossed the river in the past two days. We don't have to wait too long."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and pondered, "Then let's go shopping in Heishui City for two days."

The drunken Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I will leave it to the poor Taoist to reserve the ticket for the merchant boat to cross the river!"

After drinking a pot of tea, Chu Ci got up and said, "Everyone go upstairs to rest, and take a good look around Heishui City tomorrow morning."

The next day, early morning.

Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse.

The drunk Taoist was eating his breakfast listlessly.

"Daozhang, did you wake up so early?"

Chu Ci sat across from Taoist Zui and laughed aloud.

The drunken Taoist cast a glance at Chu Ci, "What morning, Pindao didn't sleep last night!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and asked aloud, "What made the Taoist priest toss and turn, unable to sleep all night?"

The drunk Taoist rubbed his brows, and said helplessly, "The bed next to Pindao was shaken all night last night, how can Pindao sleep like this?"

Chu Ci chuckled and said, "It's none of my business, I live opposite the Taoist priest."

"Ah!"

The drunken Taoist yawned, shook his head and said, "No, the poor Taoist has to go back to sleep."

"Go shopping by yourselves."

After the drunk Taoist finished speaking, he finished his breakfast in twos and twos, and went directly upstairs to catch up on sleep.

Chu Ci looked at the drunk Taoist's back, shook his head and chuckled.

"It's a good thing that I pasted a sound-abusing note on the door last night, otherwise the guests staying here might not be able to sleep!"

Sitting beside Chu Ci, Leng Ruxue trembled slightly when she heard the words.

"Master, stop talking!"

Chu Ci chuckled, "Okay!"

"Let's go out for a walk."

Chu Ci took Leng Ruxue's hand and walked towards the outside of the teahouse.

When passing by the teahouse counter, Chu Ci suddenly stopped.

"Shopkeeper, I have something to ask you!"

Chu Ci looked at the busy shopkeeper behind the counter, and asked aloud, "Has Gongsun Luluo been here?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper looked up at Chu Ci, and said in silence for a moment, "Your Excellency is Chu Ci, Young Master Chu?"

Chu Ci's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Miss Gongsun told you?"

The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, "Can you show me Mr. Chu's badge?"

Chu Ci reached out and took off the waist badge, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced at it, and returned the badge to Chu Ci.

"Master Chu, Miss Gongsun came to the teahouse a month ago and left a word."

A strange look flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he asked aloud, "What are you talking about?"

The shopkeeper replied out loud, "Miss Gongsun said that the successor has been found!"

"Miss Gongsun also said that she will wait for Mr. Chu at Yujian Palace in Shushan!"

Chapter 277

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

After listening to the joy left by Gongsun Luluo, Chuci bowed his hands to the teahouse shopkeeper to thank him.

"Master Chu doesn't have to be like this."

The manager of the teahouse hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Gongsun is a friend of the teahouse, and her business is the business of the teahouse!"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "Miss Gongsun came here by herself? Is there anyone else?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "There are two other people. One of them is fat, with black hair and long beard. He is not angry and arrogant. The other is smart and capable. He should be his guard!"

Hearing the words, Chu Ci muttered to himself.

The people the shopkeeper mentioned should be Di Gongming and Li Chongming.

Unexpectedly, they traveled so fast, they had already crossed the Heishui River a month ago.

At this moment, I am afraid that he has already reached Xianwang's territory.

Di Gongming and Li Chongming had indeed arrived at the border of the southern region, the Peacock City where King Xian was seated.

But Gongsun Lvluo separated from Di Gongming in advance, and took a detour to Yujian Palace in Shushan.

When Chu Ci heard about Di Gongming and the others, he let go of his worries a little.

Greeting Leng Ruxue, the two came to the long street of Heishui City.

At the same time, two fast horses arrived outside Heishui City.

It was Yujian Palace Zhenyu Linglong and Wen Renyu.

"Come and take a look, the authentic glazed lacquer cup from the Southern Region!"

"Beiyu fine cashmere carpet, come and take a look!"

"Refined ore from the Western Regions!"

"Glass mirror! Shengbaozhai rouge!"

···

Bursts of cries echoed over Heishui City.

The Heishui City during the day is several times more prosperous than the Heishui City at night!

Zhenyu Linglong and Wen Renyu led their horses along the long street, staring at the surrounding scenery dazedly.

"Although I have been here once, I still feel that the prosperity of Heishui City is not weaker than that of Shengjing City."

Zhen Yu Linglong bought a bunch of honey gourds at random, put them in her mouth and started to lick them.

Wen Renyu looked at the surrounding crowd with a frown, and occasionally stretched out his hand to protect Zhenyu Linglong's side to prevent pedestrians from colliding.

"Sister, where are we going next?"

"Heishui City is so big and there are so many people, where can we find her?"

Zhen Yu Linglong rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Let's find an inn first."

"We don't need to go find her, we just need to wait and see!"

"Wait and wait?" Wen Renyu frowned, and asked doubtfully, "How to guard?"

Zhenyu Linglong looked at Wen Renyu, and glared at him angrily.

"You're not happy to say you're stupid!"

"She wants to go south to cross the Blackwater River, so she can only take a passing merchant ship. Let's just stay on the merchant ship and wait!"

Wen Renyu's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up to Zhenyu Linglong.
