CH.21 Fair Trade
Chu Jiu didn't expect to meet her creditor Chao Duxue here, and now he no longer wears those masks with wooden expressions, this face is what they looked like when they first met.
"This place is leaking everywhere......" Yin Duanhong looked at the rain that dripped from the roof and her hair with a handkerchief, not noticing the ninth day.
Chu Jiu weakly propped himself up, looked at the charming woman in the crimson gauze skirt and the subordinates behind her who were wearing uniform light gray Luo clothes, and then looked at Chao Duxue, "Are you together?" ”
Twilight nodded as he observed the people lying on the ground in the temple, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Chu Jiu was relieved when she heard that they knew each other, and she lowered her eyes, "We were drugged." ”
The other people who were drugged also regained consciousness one after another, and Ma Dong saw that the little girl knew this group of people, and quickly interjected: "Their gang took away this little girl's friend." ”
"Friends?" Twilight didn't know who he was talking about.
"It's Sister Xiaojia, who serves Miss Zhang's maid with me."
When she heard this, she was a little impressed.
Wang Hu on the side stretched his legs, moving his muscles and bones, he recalled the conversation of the men and their clothes, "They should be the disciples of the Kuaidaomen, listen to their conversations, little girl, your friend may be Song Jialin, the son of the head of the Kuaidaomen, who has been missing for a year." ”
Chu Jiu was a little confused, Sister Xiao Jia is a real girl, she lives in the same room with Sister Xiao Jia day and night, naturally it is clear.
"Oh, the son of the head of the Knife Gate." Yin Duanhong remembered an anecdote that circulated a year ago, "I remember, an incident happened in Kuaidaomen a year ago, when it was rumored that Song Jialin, the son of the current head, killed his uncle Lu Qin, and then fled in fear of crime, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”
"No wonder the gang at Kuaidaomen haven't been able to find Song Jialin, it turns out that he was originally a woman disguised as a man, and it seems that he recovered as a daughter after he escaped." Wang Hu touched his beard and suddenly realized.
Chu Jiu never thought that Sister Xiaojia was a murderer, but all this is just rumors, isn't it?
The other innocent passers-by did not understand the conversation they were talking about, and they quietly asked Wang Hu, "Can we go?" Do we have to hurry? ”
Wang Hu then remembered that he still had to send this group of guests to Liangcheng, and he asked Chu Jiu: "Girl, do you still want to go to Liangcheng with us?" ”
Chu Jiu hesitated and didn't know whether to continue on the road or go to find Sister Xiao Jia, but thinking of how could she beat that group of men and save Sister Xiao Jia, she smiled bitterly at her uselessness.
Twilight knew her concerns, and her face frowned at her emotions.
Yin Duanhong looked at the two of them, her cunning eyes turned, and she said: "Girl, if you want, you can let this prince help you save people, and his martial arts and my people are more than enough to deal with the people of the Kuaidaomen." ”
Chao Duxue stared at Yin Duanhong, her expression displeased, and she was a little reprimanded for being nosy.
Yes, you can ask Twilight Snow to help save people. Chu Jiu had a little hope in her heart, she grabbed Chao Duxue's sleeve and begged: "Chao Duxue, no, Chao Daxia, you are doing well, can you save Sister Xiaojia?" ”
Twilight Xue wanted to pull Chu Jiu's hand away, but when he touched her tearful eyes, his heart softened a little, he hesitated inwardly for a moment, and then nodded and said, "I can help you save her." ”
"But girl, there is no free business in this world, you let the prince help you save people, but you also have to have something in return." Yin Duanhong saw that her master agreed to Zhao Chujiu's request so easily, she couldn't let him suffer.
Chu Jiu thought that too, it was impossible for people to help you for no reason, but she thought that she still owed Chao Duxue the silver, but now that he asked him to save people, then she owed him even more, and she didn't know what she could come up with in return.
Chao Duxue didn't know why Yin Duanhong was so difficult for Chu Jiu, he just wanted to reprimand, but found that Yin Duanhong glanced at him, he looked at her a little puzzled, only to see her reach out and take a pen and paper from her subordinates and put it in front of Chu Jiu, "This is a deed of sale, if you want Chao Gongzi and me to save people, then you can sign it, then you will be Chao Gongzi's person, no, it is Chao Gongzi's maid." ”
Chu Jiu looked at a blank piece of paper, "But this is a blank piece of paper." ”
"So do you sign it or not?" Yin Duanhong tempted Chu Jiu, "With your identity as Sister Xiaojia, if you save her in the future, she will definitely make up two pieces of silver to redeem herself for you." ”
Chu Jiu suddenly felt a little stuffed and didn't know what to do, but she felt that she also had some sense, she looked up at Chao Duxue, if she really became his maid, it shouldn't be difficult to serve, she sighed, "Chao Daxia, I owe you more and more." ”
Twilight took her hand to hold the pen, "You don't have to. ”
Chu Jiu was a little moved when she heard his words, but she didn't want to owe anyone anything.
"I want to save Sister Xiaojia." She said firmly, then signed her name on the paper.
Yin Duanhong's trick succeeded, she snatched the signed paper, immediately hid it, and said with a smile: "That subordinate...... Not...... Then my subordinates and I will go to Jiangzhen in front of us to explore the way, the Lord ...... Zhao Gongzi, presumably Miss Zhao is still a little weak now, you take good care of her, I will wait for you in Jiangzhen. She didn't give Twilight a chance to interrupt, she wanted to create more opportunities for the two of them to be alone.
"No, I can follow you right now." Chu Jiu stood up suddenly, but his legs were still a little weak, and he didn't stand firm and fell forward.
Seeing her fall down, Chao Duxue didn't react at all, he just asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Chu Jiu shook his head, then sat on the ground and patted his sore knee.
Yin Duanhong behind him rolled his eyes, and scolded the master's sluggishness in his heart, such a good opportunity was actually wasted, if it was her, she would definitely catch the fallen Chu Jiu. "Girl, you'd better keep up slowly." She held her forehead, waved her fingers, and walked away with her men.
Yin Duanhong walked a few steps and suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and swept her eyes sharply over the other people who had also been drugged, "Why don't you leave?" ”
Wang Hu was so frightened by her vicious tone that he got up tremblingly, he pulled Ma Dong up in a panic, and called the other passengers who were still a little slow to move, "The little one will go now, go now, go quickly." ”
A group of them left like this, and after a while, only Chao Duxue and Zhao Chujiu were left in the temple.
"That girl in red was your friend?" Chu Jiu asked curiously.
"Yes." Twilight didn't intend to make their relationship clear, he stood up and straightened up his wrinkled hem, "Are you better?" ”
"Chao Daxia, can you help me?" Chu Jiu smiled wryly.
Twilight Xue hugged her and held her thin shoulders, thinking to herself, she needs to eat more and gain weight.
"Chao Daxia, aren't you home all over the world?"
"Huh?" Twilight was a little stunned, and then he remembered that he had told her that he was home everywhere, "That's right. ”
"Then I will follow you, will you take care of my food and lodging?" Chu Jiu had already thought that she would serve him as his maid in the future, and she also wanted to ask about the salary.
"You don't have to care about what Yin Duanhong told you, and you don't have to pay attention to what you signed just now."
"But how? You have to do what you promised. ”
Chao Duxue still wanted to refuse her, but looking at Chu Jiu's serious face, he still didn't mention it.
"Don't call me a hero in the future."
"What's that calling you? Chao Gongzi? ”
Twilight wanted her to call her Twilight, and his master used to call him that, but he thought about it and thought that he and her didn't seem to know each other well enough to be so close, so he said, "Whatever you want." ”
When they went outside, they found only a single horse tied to the trunk of a tree.
"How come there is only one horse?" Chu Jiu screamed and looked around, there was indeed only one horse.
Now Chao Duxue probably guessed Yin Duanhong's intentions.
"Come, I'll help you get on the horse."
Chu Jiu was a little embarrassed to reach out his hand, and was hugged by Chao Duxue's waist and put on the saddle, and then he also turned over and sat behind Chu Jiu.
The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath at this time.
"Ahem, let's hurry up." Chu Jiu broke the silence and leaned forward, trying to alleviate some of the awkward atmosphere.
Chao Duxue calmed down his somewhat restless heart, and then waved his horsewhip and set off with Chu Jiu to Jiangzhen.
