Chapter 30: Identity
That night, Chu Xuan stayed next door to the woman who was being protected.
The inn is small, and the rooms are poorly furnished, with nothing but a couch and a few tables and chairs. However, compared to Li Shouyi's hut in Nanjianmen, it was still good, and Chu Xuan didn't care too much.
While meditating cross-legged on the couch, breathing in and trying to cultivate with the mental method in the Book of Heaven, he kept his ears on his ears and kept an eye on the movement next door.
In the first half of the night, everything was safe, but in the second half of the night, there was a strong wind blowing outside the window, and then on the eaves of the roof of the inn, there were suddenly a lot of rustling footsteps, although the steps were very light and mixed with the wind, but Chu Xuan could still hear it.
Chu Xuan didn't want to relax his vigilance, so he immediately opened his eyes, pushed open the door, and came to the corridor on the second floor to inspect it. The wind blew for a moment, but gradually stopped, and the footsteps on the roof disappeared at once.
Chu Xuan came to the outside of the woman's room, knocked on the door, and asked, "I am a five-star dart master responsible for protecting the girl's safety, is it convenient for the girl to let me in?"
A female voice came from the room, and her voice was very good: "Men and women don't kiss, just wait outside." ”
Chu Xuan knew that the other party was probably worried about fraud, so he said: "Okay, if that girl has any problems, call her at any time, and she will stay outside the door." ”
"Ahh
"Ahh
As soon as Chu Xuan's words were finished, there were screams in the room.
He hurriedly pushed open the door, only to see a dozen men dressed in night clothes breaking through the roof of the room, their swords already resting on the neck of the woman in the gauze hat.
The woman was overwhelmed by the sudden change, and several handmaidens around her fell in a pool of blood. Chu Xuan glanced at it, the few maids who died were all ordinary people, without any cultivation, and the strange thing was that the two girls who talked to him during the day were not among them.
Chu Xuan had carefully observed during the day, and he faintly felt that the two girls who were talking to him should have cultivation, but they seemed to be wearing something that covered up their own cultivation, so he couldn't see it.
Thinking of this, he looked at the people in front of him again, including the woman who was being held hostage. Chu Xuan found that almost all of these people wearing night clothes were cultivators around the Earth Spirit Realm, and the woman in front of him who was held hostage was almost this realm.
"Girl, you deal with a few yourself, and I'll take care of the rest. Chu Xuan said.
The woman was stunned, then nodded. Chu Xuan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately launched an attack on this group of people in night clothes.
Because the gap in cultivation is too great, the result is naturally obvious. But in a short time, the group of men in black were all knocked to the ground. Chu Xuan didn't kill these people, he just discounted their hands and feet so that they couldn't escape. If it weren't for the enmity of life and death, Chu Xuan would never take people's lives easily.
Seeing that Chu Xuan was so skilled, the woman couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised, and asked tentatively: "This son, the slave family looks at you, it seems that you are less than the year of the weak crown, could it be that you have already passed the heavenly punishment and become a master of the Earth Yuan Realm?"
Chu Xuan was noncommittal, the woman thought that he had acquiesced, and immediately said happily: "That's really good, with the protection of the son, this time in Nanyu County, the safety of the slave family will not be a problem." ”
The Nanyu County in the woman's mouth is the destination of this trip.
Chu Xuan heard her words and knew that she was asking for herself now, so he said: "It is naturally my duty to protect the girl, but I don't understand anything, I don't know if the girl can solve the puzzle?"
"Childe, please speak. The woman had always spoken politely, and Chu Xuan's good impression of her had also increased a lot.
"During the day, I saw two maidservants dressed in palace clothes, probably a pair of sisters, and they were quite handsome. It's just that I don't understand why the two of you are not here now, and I want to ask what their names are. ”
The strange thing is that after listening to Chu Xuan's words, the woman didn't say a word for a long time, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "Didn't Gongzi see that the two girls were born beautiful and liked them?"
Chu Xuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "If the girl doesn't want to say it, forget it, when I haven't asked." ”
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the hallway, as if many people were coming. It turned out to be the two girls in the day, who heard that there was a situation on the second floor, and came to support with a group of dart masters.
"How's that, what's going on, where are the assassins?"
The palace maid who made Chu Xuan hate asked him in a hurry as soon as she went up to the attic.
Chu Xuan said in disgust: "You don't have long eyes, don't you know how to see for yourself? If there is no me tonight, according to your reaction, this girl upstairs is afraid that it will be over." ”
"Eh, you stinky boy, dare to talk to this girl like this, is your skin itchy?"
Seeing that the two were about to pinch each other, another woman in palace clothes with a somewhat bloated figure hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't apologize to the son soon, if he hadn't made a timely move tonight, I'm afraid that the young lady would have died." ”
"Bah, I want this girl to apologize to him, don't think about it. Miss is dead, what do you have to do with me......"
Speaking of which, the palace maid named Chu Xuan, who was annoying, turned her head to look at her sister and the veiled woman, and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately stopped talking.
When Chu Xuan heard her say this, he immediately guessed the identities of the three of them, these three women seemed to be masters and servants, but in fact, their identities should be reversed.
In other words, the two women in palace clothes are the real protagonists, and the girl in the gauze hat is probably just a stand-in.
"Thank you for saving your life tonight. Chu Xuan was thinking about it, but the woman wearing the gauze hat bowed to him and said softly.
"No, it's a matter of duty. Chu Xuan came back to his senses and replied casually.
Maybe they didn't look at each other, but the girl in palace clothes before saw Chu Xuan's indifferent attitude, and scolded: "It's rare for my young lady to raise you and praise you a few words, some people really think how great they are." It's really a toad who doesn't look in the mirror and doesn't know what he looks like. ”
When Chu Xuan heard this, his heart suddenly became angry, thinking about Liu Xuan, who is also a young girl, how can there be such a huge gap between people and people? Since he was a child, he has never met such a rude and rude woman. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, if it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, he really wanted to slap the other party twice.
"Whew..."Chu Xuan let out a long breath, and finally held back his anger.
Seeing that the other party was stunned and didn't speak, the woman sneered: "What's the matter? ”
The sister on the side saw that her sister was messing around like this, so she was busy reprimanding her while making amends to Chu Xuan. On the contrary, it was the nominal owner of the two, the woman in the gauze hat, who only looked at a few people silently and did not say a word.
Chu Xuan looked at the woman and said in his heart that his previous guess was probably correct.
