Chapter 29: Bodyguards
On this day, Chu Xuan was eating in the back hall as usual, and suddenly a girl in Tsing Yi slowly entered from outside, bowed to him, and said respectfully:
"Childe, Dong Ye sent someone over and said that there is something important for you to discuss. ”
This girl in Tsing Yi's name is Leng'er, she was one of the more than a dozen slaves and maids that Dong Zhiyuan looked for for Chu Xuan, because she was well-behaved and lovely, and she was articulate, Chu Xuan left her in the mansion to take care of her affairs. Because Chu Xuan has always been casual and doesn't like to pay attention to these chores, Leng Er has become his housekeeper.
"Okay, you go down. ”
...
Chu Xuan came to the General Bureau of the Beijing Gate Dart Bureau and found that Dong Zhiyuan and Mr. Qian were already waiting for him in the front hall.
"Brother Lin, you are here, Brother Wei has taken over a big business this time, you must help Brother Wei do it. After knowing Chu Xuan's ability that day, Dong Zhiyuan's name towards him became intimate, because Chu Xuan's pseudonym was Lin Xuan, he called Chu Xuan Brother Lin and called himself brother. If it weren't for the fact that the two were too different in age, Dong Zhiyuan would even have the intention of becoming brothers with different surnames with him.
Mr. Qian on the side also chimed in: "Yes, Brother Lin, this time it's a big deal." The employer paid 500,000 taels of gold as a deposit, and after the deed was completed, there was a gratuity of 2 million taels. Tsk, it's a pity that my old money doesn't have the ability of Brother Chu, otherwise I would definitely take this errand next. ”
Chu Xuan listened to the words of the two, and his heart was also a little moved. However, the other party can pay a high price of 2.5 million taels to invite the guards of the Beijing Gate Dart Bureau, presumably not an ordinary person. The trouble that will be encountered in this dart movement will certainly not be easy.
Even so, Chu Xuan agreed without thinking too much, he was very confident in his current self. Several times in the entire Great Zhou Kingdom, and even in the southeast of the Nanyuan Continent, those who passed through the Heavenly Spirit Realm and reached the Earth Yuan Realm before the age of sixteen were probably no one else except for him Chu Xuan.
Seeing that Chu Xuan agreed, Dong Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and saluted him, thanking him again and again. Mr. Qian also praised him.
Now that Chu Xuan had agreed to take the order, Dong Zhiyuan told him the specific situation.
It turned out that this time, the bodyguard was not escorting goods, but a woman, and the task of the Beijing Gate Dart Bureau was to send this woman out of Kyoto safely and to other counties. As for the identity of the employer, the Jingmen Dart Bureau does not know, and the other party is unwilling to disclose it. However, there are only a few companies in Kyoto that have the strength to hire five-star dart masters in this week, which is easy to guess for those who are familiar with the situation in Kyoto.
Chu Xuan didn't know much about these and wasn't interested. Although he was once the crown prince of the Zhou State, his mother died as soon as he was born, and he was helpless, he grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he never knew about the situation outside the imperial city, and he did not know what intricate forces the Zhou State had.
...
When it was the day of the dart, Chu Xuan put on the uniform of the Beijing Gate Dart Bureau, and took a dozen or so four-star dart masters to the place that had been agreed in advance.
When he arrived, Chu Xuan found that on this trip, the employer not only invited the dart master of the Beijing Gate Dart Bureau, but also the dart master of more than a dozen other dart bureaus in Kyoto was among the guards, and among these people there were even dart masters under the Nanjian Gate. Not only that, but in addition to the dart master, there were more than 100 court officers and soldiers wearing armor who protected this trip.
In this way, Chu Xuan was a little curious, who was the person he wanted to protect this time? How could he be so popular? Could it be that he was also a royal family?
However, he didn't think much about it, and after setting off, he rode on his horse, following the team of bodyguards all the way. And the woman, who was protected by everyone, sat in a carriage all day long, hanging the curtains, and couldn't see what she looked like.
The escort team left Kyoto and came to the official road in the suburbs, and drove for three days with men and horses, and the journey was smooth sailing without encountering any danger. Chu Xuan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, if nothing bad happened, wouldn't it seem that he, a five-star dart master, was useless?
Perhaps the heavens felt his sincerity, and on the fourth day, something finally happened to the bodyguard.
...
On this day, the group walked to a small town, and it was already dark. Inside the carriage, the woman ordered everyone to stop, perhaps because she was a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest.
The town is small, the lights are sparse, and there are not many people to see. Chu Xuan and his entourage had almost four hundred people, and they had to find three or four inns to barely stay.
Along the way, Chu Xuan had always been very curious about what the mysterious woman in the car looked like, so he stood aside and looked at the carriage where the woman was, wanting to wait for her to get out of the car.
The curtain of the car slowly opened, but the first to come down were two maidservants, holding a pair of maids on their heads, with a little pink on their faces, and wearing apricot-colored skirts. Just looking at this dress, Chu Xuan knew that the two women must be the palace maids of a certain prince's family. In the past, when he was still the prince, the maids around him were also dressed like this.
After the two palace maids came down, the woman who was protected by everyone was also supported and walked down gently. It's a pity that she wears a hat and a scarf hanging around her, and everyone still can't see her face clearly.
"You, it's you, that dark, skinny boy, come here!"
Chu Xuan stared at the few women who got off the carriage, and suddenly remembered his past, and was thinking about it, when he suddenly found that two palace maids were greeting him from the opposite side.
"What's the matter with the two girls?"
Chu Xuan didn't know what the two of them told him to do, but he still walked over obediently.
"This girl sees that you are a very honest boy, so she has an important task for you. My young lady will rest in this inn tonight, and when she lives on the second floor, you will live next door to her, and be responsible for her safety. If something goes wrong with Miss, watch your head!"
Chu Xuan looked up, the palace maid who was talking to him was about the same age as Liu Xuan, slightly taller than Liu Xuan, and her appearance was on par with Liu Xuan, with the same bright eyes and graceful grace. It's just that the tone of her speech, Chu Xuan is very disliked, and even a little disgusted, this is like a maidservant, she is clearly a big lady.
"Tang'er, did you talk like that?
In contrast, the other palace maid spoke much more politely, while teaching the previous palace maid a lesson, and apologizing to Chu Xuan on the other, "This son, my sister is not very good at talking, please don't take it to heart." ”
Chu Xuan shook his head, showing that he didn't mind, and set his eyes on the palace maid who apologized to him. This palace maid's appearance is also beautiful and unparalleled, very similar to the previous palace maid, probably the other party's own sister. However, Chu Xuan always felt that her figure was a little weird, and she seemed to be a little bloated.
"Stinky boy, look at what you see! Look at it again, gouge out your eyeballs and smash them!"
The palace maid that Chu Xuan hated, seeing Chu Xuan staring at his sister, thought that he had bad intentions, and immediately threatened.
Chu Xuan turned his head away in disgust, not wanting to say a word to her.
