Start Six Maids

A disciple of the Hanmei Sect took a look at Lu Xiaochuan, "This is not what you should care about!"

"Um, yes, yes."

Lu Xiaochuan sneered, and asked after a moment of silence, "Brothers, the Hanmei Sect will recruit disciples again this year, right?"

"Do you want to sign up? What level of martial arts is it now?"

Lu Xiaochuan quickly replied, "Just promoted to the first rank!"

"Level one?" Hanmei Sect disciple pondered for a moment, then said, "The entry test should be fine."

"That's great!"

A look of joy appeared on Lu Xiaochuan's face, "I would like to invite some senior brothers to speak kindly to the examiner!"

After a pause, Lu Xiaochuan continued, "Tonight I will be the host of the drunk spring breeze, and I will clean up the dust for the senior brothers!"

The three Hanmei Sect disciples looked at each other, then said with a smile, "No problem, this time the assessment is Senior Brother Jin Yue, we have a very good relationship!"

Lu Xiaochuan laughed when he heard the words, "That's all right!"

The conditions were negotiated, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the few people obviously improved.

"Brothers, I may not have been to Gusu City for a long time. What happened in Gusu City recently?"

"What's the matter? General Qin Wei is stationed in Gusu City, no one dares to make trouble."

"However, something happened a few days ago. General Qin Wei's son, Qin Shaowu, got married and was assassinated by his bride during the wedding night!"

"So exciting? Uh, I mean who is the bride? So bold?"

"I don't know, I just came to Gusu City for a few days, I heard it's called..."

"Master Chu?" A question rang in Chu Ci's ear.

Chu Ci raised his eyes and saw that the shopkeeper of the teahouse was standing in front of him.

"You know me?"

There was a strange look in Chu Ci's eyes.

"Hehe..." The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Miss Gongsun showed me your portrait."

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face, "What message did she leave?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said, "Miss Gongsun said that she has arrived at Yujian Palace in Shushan, but because of the disciple's matter, there is some unpleasant trouble with Yujian Palace."

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and asked aloud, "What happened?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse shook his head, "Miss Gongsun didn't say anything, but she left a message saying that there should be no problem. Please don't worry, Mr. Chu."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, "Okay, I see."

"Is there any information about Master Di?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse shook his head and said, "I haven't received any message from Mr. Di for the time being."

"Since Mr. Di entered Xiancheng, no news has come out."

Chu Ci frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Please ask the shopkeeper for information about Master Di, and let me know as soon as possible!"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse nodded and said, "No problem!"

"Master Chu, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No..." Chu Ci opened his mouth and asked, "Is it true that the son of General Qin Wei was assassinated on his wedding day in Gusu City a few days ago?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse nodded and said, "It's true."

"Qin Shaowu died on the spot, and the bride was also caught by Qin Wei and thrown into prison. I heard that she will be beheaded in public in two days."

The shopkeeper of the teahouse let out a sigh and continued, "Speaking of which, the bride is also pitiful."

"Her family was originally a wealthy family in Gusu City, but Qin Shaowu saw her a few years ago and threatened her to marry Qin Shaowu."

"She didn't agree, and as a result, she came and went again and again, her family was in trouble, her parents died unexpectedly, and there was no news of her wandering outside."

"I came back to Gusu City some time ago, and I don't know why I want to marry Qin Shaowu. Presumably, I have decided to assassinate Qin Shaowu on the wedding night, right?"

Chu Ci's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the bride's name?!"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse thought for a while and said, "Swallow."

boom!

Chu Ci slapped a silver ingot on the tea table, got up and left quickly.

"Young Master Chu? Young Master Chu?"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse greeted him twice, seeing that Chu Ci didn't pay attention at all, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Hey···"

"Qin Wei is the commander of the garrison in Gusu City, so it's not easy to mess with him!"

···

Chu Ci left the teahouse and returned to the Zuichunfeng restaurant without stopping.

"Boy Chu, are you back?"

The drunk Taoist saw Chu Ci and asked with a smile, "Any news about Master Di and Miss Gongsun?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry about this, I'm going to Gusu City!"

The drunk Taoist stared blankly, and asked aloud, "What happened?"

Chu Ci said solemnly, "Something happened to Swallow!"

"Sister Yanzi?"

Gong Ping's ears twitched, and upon hearing the news, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Sister Yanzi?"

"I'm going to Gusu City too!"

Chu Ci pressed Gong Ping's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Swallow has been imprisoned, it's useless if you go."

"Don't worry, I won't let the swallow get into trouble!"

Looking at Zhenyu Linglong, Zui Taoist and others, Chu Ci said aloud, "You guys wait here, Ruxue and I will go to Gusu City."

"When the swallow is rescued, we will come back together!"

Gong Ping grabbed Chu Ci's cuff and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Brother Chu, you must rescue Sister Yanzi!"

Chu Ci reached out and rubbed Gong Ping's head, and said in a deep voice, "Definitely, I promise!"

Looking at Leng Ruxue, Chu Ci greeted, "Ru Xue, follow me."

After leaving the restaurant, Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue got on their horses and galloped towards Gusu City.

Chapter 314

Gusu City is nearly a hundred miles away from Suhang City.

Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue rode without stopping, and finally arrived at Gusu City when the sky was getting dark.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Walking in Gusu City, Leng Ruxue asked Chu Ci aloud.

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, and said, "Swallow will be beheaded publicly in two days, and we must stop the execution tomorrow!"

Leng Ruxue heard that the fierce sword intent on her body disappeared in a flash.

"Master, do you want to rob the prison?"

Chu Ci looked at Leng Ruxue who was ready to strike at any time, and said with a dumb smile, "What are you thinking?"

"Find an inn to rest for the night, and go to the city guard's mansion tomorrow morning!"

The two found an inn in Gusu City and stayed there to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Ci and Leng Ruxue left the inn and came to the mansion of He Sanqing, the guard of Gusu City.

boom! boom! boom!

Chu Ci took a step forward and slammed the closed door.

squeak-

After a while, the door opened, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out.

"who are you?"

Chu Ci said aloud, "Chu Ci for the bronze medal in the strange situation, please see the city guard!"

Hearing this, the young servant got a serious expression, and hurriedly said, "My lord, please wait a moment, I will inform the master!"

The boy turned and left, and rushed into the back of the mansion.

Da da da···

A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and He Sanqing walked out quickly.

"Master Chu came to the mansion, and He is so far away from welcoming you, I hope Master Chu will not blame you!"

He Sanqing looks thin, with a black and white beard under his jaw.

He was wearing a blue-black gown, with two patches faintly visible on the hem.

On the contrary, he looks like a parent with a clean sleeve.

Chu Ci cupped his hands and said, "Master He is polite, please don't blame me for visiting rashly!"

He Sanqing said with a smile, "There, Mr. Chu, please come in!"

The three walked through the courtyard to a hall and sat down one by one.

Chu Ci looked around and found that the furnishings in the hall were extremely simple and plain.

Compared with He Sanqing's identity as the city guard, it's really a bit shabby.

"My lord..."

Chu Ci pondered for a moment and said, "The family is poor."

He Sanqing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master Chu laughed."

"The imperial salary is sufficient, and I have accumulated some savings. However, the severe drought in Yuzhou two years ago has also affected Gusu City, and those savings have long since been dispersed."

Hearing the words, Chu Ci cupped his hands and said, "Master He is so righteous!"

He Sanqing waved his hand and said with a smile, "As a parent in Gusu City, these things are just a matter of course and should not be praised by Master Chu."

After pondering for a moment, He Sanqing asked, "Master Chu is from Shengjing City?"

Chu Ci nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to go south to investigate the case, so I passed by here."

"Oh?"

He Sanqing lightly stroked his beard, and said suspiciously, "If it's on the way, Mr. Chu should be in Suzhou and Hangzhou, right?"

"Why did you turn around a hundred miles and come to Gusu City?"

Chu Ci's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment and said, "To tell you the truth, Mr. He, I'm here for Miss Yanzi."

A strange look appeared on He Sanqing's face, he nodded and said, "I guessed it too."

"Master Chu can call the door early in the morning, except for the assassination of the newlyweds a few days ago, there is nothing else."

He Sanqing looked at Chu Ci, and said in a solemn tone, "Master Chu, the evidence for Chen Yan's assassination of Qin Shaowu is solid, and he himself confessed."

"Tomorrow is the time to be beheaded for public display. This has been set long ago!"

tuk tuk...

Chu Ci tapped the table with his fingers, and chuckled, "Master He, why are you so sure?"

"Master He really thinks I don't know what's going on here?"

Last night, Chu Ci rushed to the Weiqing Office overnight to guard the Gusu City branch.

Although the Department of Strangeness is only responsible for suppressing demons and strange incidents, it is also very clear about the big and small affairs in Gusu City.
