Chapter 9 The talisman on the road, the maid(1/2)
"Although I don't know what mystery your martial arts are, I really want to say that you are such a talent!" Chu Heng covered his eyes with a little unbearable look at him.
Covering your eyes in a life-and-death battle? This operation made both the male and the female black-clad man a little confused. I always felt that Chu Heng had another trick, or was this guy just a simple nerve?
In fact, the two of them had a very accurate premonition. Chu Heng was able to face his opponent who crushed him and pretended to be calm because he did have another move. Speaking of which, this move was just like what he said. He had just learned it for a while, and it was even less than two days.
Chu Heng took a few loose steps to the table. Yes, it was the table that Chu Heng brought when he was pretending to be in the yard. What's amazing is that in the fierce battle just now, the table was not broken yet! If you consider this problem, it's easy to think that Chu Heng deliberately avoided this area during the battle.
After understanding this, the man and woman in black suddenly became nervous. Chu Heng reached out and turned the table over, and a faint light that was difficult to see was exposed to everyone.
The glimmer came from the back of the table, and it was revealed by a huge rune. The rune was not very complicated. It seemed to be only thirty strokes in full swing. The crisscrossed trajectories seemed to have a unique mystery. When all the trajectories gathered together, it made people feel a sense of majesty!
It was like a mouse hitting a snake and an owl. The feeling of crushing the natural enemy suddenly made the man and woman in black feel cold all over, and an ominous premonition arose, no! You have to run away!
Turn around! But they all froze in place!
This is an extremely awkward position. Slightly swing your arms, split your thighs, and clicking your toes on the ground, like pushing your back with force, or like splitting your hips and asking someone to kick them. In short, it is very indecent.
The men and women in black were shocked, and they could only look at each other with their own eyes. They could feel their blood flowing and their hearts beating, but from their muscles to their muscles, they could not find any moving place, as if they were petrified.
Click! A shattering sound came from behind. Even if they had not learned the talisman, they could understand that this must be the runes on the back of the table being stimulated.
"This is an illusion rune that can affect the brain of creatures and put the target in a rigid state of being intimidated by natural enemies. Well, to put it simply, it is a shock!"
Stepping, as Chu Heng approached Jia Jie step by step, he carried Fu Yuezhan's figure on his shoulders and appeared in front of two men in black.
"To be honest, I have learned this trick for less than two days. If I were asked to write it directly on talisman paper, it would be difficult to succeed. However, I am very talented and thought of a way to write it on the back of the table. As the saying goes, the essence is concentrated, and the subtleties of this rune will be much simpler after enlargement!"
Chu Heng was quite contented as he spoke, and reached out to pull down the masks of the two men in black. Surprisingly, the men in black were handsome and beautiful, and they looked very elegant.
Chu Heng shook his head regretfully, "So, this person must not behave like a person with thick eyebrows and big eyes can be so short-lived!" As he said that, he was about to raise Fu Yuezhang and chop down.
The two men in black were very anxious, but the shock was extremely powerful and seemed to directly destroy their spirits and make them unable to act. They had no choice but to use their eyes to hint wildly, don't kill us! We don't want to die, we still have value!
Chu Heng was definitely smart, so he understood it and shook his head, "It's a pity that this rune is too rough and has only three minutes of action. During these three minutes, you can't speak or exercise. There is basically no way to reveal information that interests me, so I can only express regret!"
Puchi! The two human heads rolled out so far, and the splashing blood flowed a lot.
At this point, Chu Heng could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and his hand holding Fu Yuezhan began to tremble. This was not an injury, but a normal reaction when his spirit suddenly relaxed after being extremely nervous. After all, he was just a sixteen-year-old boy. As the second son of the general's mansion, he was not used to this kind of scene of life and death for a moment.
Chu Heng stood there, his eyes staying on the two headless black men for a while, and then looked at the dead assassins. Tonight, many things happened and many things changed. He didn't know how to go in the future, and where was the hope, but he could no longer stop. He only hoped...
"Don't you touch the body?"
With a suspicious tone, a tender voice disrupted Chu Heng's rich inner drama. Looking back, Mo Jiu looked at him with contempt.
"My master said that if you don't touch the corpse after hitting a monster, you will be struck by lightning!"
Chu Heng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. It's a monster! Although the name "骨" is a bit funny, he could still understand the meaning. But when is it your turn to teach a lesson for me, the second young master? Then he looked like he was naked and had no cover, and sighed, "Go! Find a dress to change, what kind of decent thing!"
Mo Jiu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and then remembered that he had been seen. He subconsciously protected him and woke up suddenly. No! Well, isn't it necessary to block it?
Chu Heng was confused. What does this open-minded mean? Do I have any ideas about the young master?
Mo Jiu spread his hands, "All the maids have been dismissed, I have no other clothes."
Chu Heng rubbed his temples, gently smoothed the veins on his forehead, and turned his head and didn't want to see his figure that was not much better than the washboard. "Go to the lady's room, pick one of Qingxue's clothes, in short, don't make me angry anymore!"
Mo Jiu scratched the back of his head, walked towards the backyard and was curious. Is it not the function of the tongue? Can these eyes feel spicy? Well, as a blind man, any feeling about the eyes seems luxurious.
But Mo Jiu didn't know that behind him, Chu Heng, who had just looked unbearable, suddenly turned around and stared at her back, as if he was muttering to himself: "Why wasn't she shocked!"
...
There are no girls who don’t like beauty. As a lady in the General’s Mansion, Chu Qingxue’s decorations are naturally of many kinds. However, Mo Jiu is not interested in those colorful and conspicuous clothes. The key is to make himself less conspicuous, after all, it will hurt by being affected by the battle.
She went to the kitchen to scoop some water to clean the mucus on her body, and then went to the lady's room. Fortunately, Chu Qingxue didn't seem to like the kind of dress that was too charming, so most of the clothes were simple and elegant, mainly to highlight her temperament. Mo Jiu picked one piece at random, and because she had experience before, she put on clothes this time much faster.
After changing his clothes and going out, he happened to meet Chu Heng. At this time, he seemed to have been cleaned up and the dust and blood stains on him had been cleaned up and down. After the two of them looked up and down, they said in unison: "Miss is not awake yet. (?)"
Chu Heng quickly continued helplessly: "Who are you? Why do I seem to have never seen you?"
At this time, Mo Jiu had not spoken yet, and the housekeeper who had been responsible for being the background jumped out again, "Young Master, she was the maid in the mansion before, but she only came during the time you went to Daqingshan."
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, "That is to say, it's only been less than two days? Then why haven't you left with other maids?"
Chu Heng's eyes became as sharp as a knife, staring at Mo Jiu's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from it. However, Mo Jiu was completely disdainful of the so-called momentum. After all, he was a person who lived with the world's number one for many years. As long as he was not guilty, his eyes would not dodge at all.
This time, Chu Heng approached Chu Heng just to treat him as the intended training target. He didn't have any bad intentions, so he naturally wouldn't feel guilty. So he stared back, "My master said, "A drop of water should be repaid with a spring! The Chu family saved Uncle Hai's life in times of crisis, and this kindness is far better than that of Drop of Water. Now that the Chu family is in trouble, I naturally cannot be that ungrateful person." As he said that, he took out half of the contract to sell his body from his arms.
"..." Chu Heng took the half of the contract of selling the body without saying a word. Due to the mucus just now, there was already a lot of content on the contract of selling the body, but he could still see the whole story clearly. Ten taels! Is it only ten taels?
Chu Heng glanced at the butler, who immediately understood and introduced: "At the time when her brother Hai Shaoyu said that his father was seriously ill and needed money to hire a doctor, so I agreed to him with kindness. Based on the day of selling her body, she was almost adult and could only sell it as labor. In addition, she had never practiced, so the price was still low. I was completely grateful for her filial piety, so I gave her ten taels." As he said that, he looked at Mo Jiu with great satisfaction, as if he was saying that there was finally one with a conscience among so many servants!
Chu Heng nodded after hearing this, thinking for a while, he completely crushed the half of the contract to sell his body, "My Chu family has undergone a major change. Although your loyalty moved me, I still want you to choose again whether to continue to follow us. If you decide to leave, you will have a hundred-two-patterned bank guarantee. If you decide to stay, your future life will be very difficult and dangerous!"
Mo Jiu didn't even think about it, and looked serious, "No need to think about it, the master said that a person's moral bottom line is far more precious than gold and silver! If you say you don't leave, you won't leave. You are so stubborn!"
Chu Heng let out a long sigh and turned to the butler and smiled: "Okay, your master is so educated. The butler, re-establish a employment agreement for the maid and give it to her at a salary of ten taels of silver every month."
"yes!"
Mo Jiu was so happy when he heard this, but unexpectedly he was promoted even after a silence!
There is actually no saying of maids and maids. The title of maids is generally circulating among the people. The so-called maid is actually just a personal maid around the young lady. It is considered a confidant. Whether the status is high depends on the status of the master. However, the salary is high enough. It is obvious that Chu Heng uses the number on the sales contract to make the salary, which is quite particular.
"You go pack your luggage first, or go to comfort your family. We will leave Dingyuan City tomorrow morning." Chu Heng waved his hand and beat Mo Jiu to leave.
"Young Master, this Xiaojiu, I'm afraid..."
The butler didn't finish his words, but Chu Heng naturally understood the profound meaning. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The one who can voluntarily handed the contract back to the owner is either a fool or has other intentions!"
The butler's expression became a little more serious, "Does the young master say she has something to do?"
Chu Heng tilted his head and smiled, "I think she is really stupid, haha, forget it, you can clean up too, except for some clothes, dry food and money, everything else is left. Prepare a carriage, and we will leave immediately as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning!"
The housekeeper nodded and left, Chu Heng stepped into Chu Qingxue's room, looked at the clean wardrobe, and chuckled and came to Chu Qingxue's bed. He reached out to Chu Qingxue's pillow and pulled out a dagger, "What? I want to commit suicide, it's a bit too painful to insert a knife. I suggest you use poison next time."
Chu Qingxue, who was originally unconscious, opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. Her originally bright smile had long disappeared. She just asked in a daze: "Dad and brother..."
Chu Heng did not answer, but continued, "Don't take this dagger with you. Next time I remember, I can't say who will win before the end of the matter. If you are unwilling to be humiliated, you can use your palm power to pat your head. At least when you die, you will still have the whole body, and it will take effect very quickly."
Chu Qingxue seemed to have come back to her senses and stared at Chu Heng and said, "Brother, you seem to have changed. You were not like this before..."
"No, I have never changed your brother. But in the past, you only saw the boy from the Ning family. When did you have a second brother?"
Speaking of Ning Huaizhi, Chu Qingxue's eyes once again had an emotion and pain!
Helplessly, Chu Heng threw the dagger on the table at will and advised: "Fate is impermanent, and the people you love cannot be together. This is not a rare thing. Besides, in my opinion, Ning Huaizhi is not a good person! Humph, I don't even have the courage to break off the engagement personally, so I am not as good as Cao Ziqin."
"Maybe... maybe he doesn't know how to face me!"
Chu Qingxue subconsciously defended her. Chu Heng was amused, "I don't know how to deal with it, so I won't come? The Ning Guogong's mansion has so resolutely broke the engagement, it is obvious that he knows about his father, but neither the old tutor nor your brother Ning came to tell you. Have you ever thought about this problem? I think he may not really love you. Even if he has a true relationship with you, this relationship is probably not as obsessed with his future!"
Chu Qingxue's eyes were a little more gray, but she didn't say anything after all. This is how people are. They get used to blows and blows. When rationally defeats sentiment, the blows brought by sentiment are not so heavy.
Chu Heng sighed again, "Take a quick time to take a break, we are going to rush tomorrow morning!"
“Where to go?”
"Tiandu City!"
...
Mo Jiu actually has nothing to clean up. The two world maps are hung behind the waist, and the red skirt is stuffed into the bag and carried by the back. There is nothing else. But I have to think about it carefully in the next time. Since I decided to train Chu Heng, how should I buy it?
Well, first, clear the unstable factors around him!
What is the uncertainty factor? The first thing that comes to mind in Mo Jiu was Chu Qingxue, but I remember that the master said that in a team with exhibition, there must always be a silly and sweet person to liven up the atmosphere. This is the basic configuration of the destiny of a person.
Next is Uncle Zhong. This housekeeper is not an honest person. If you don’t talk about anything else, just take what happened just now, the problem is quite big.
The most important thing for wealthy families to choose maids and slaves is not to value the strength of their children, but to value whether they are loyal! In this regard, young children will naturally be more expensive because they can be cultivated from an early age and are trustworthy. In this regard, ten taels of silver are not a small amount. But the problem is that the sentence added by the housekeeper later is problematic, because when Hai Shaoyu sold him, he had never seen him at all, so how did he know that he had not practiced?
This was clearly proposed after seeing myself, and the benefit of doing so was nothing more than reflecting one's kindness, willing to spend more money to help the poor and enhance their favorability in Chu Heng's heart.
But! Since Uncle Zhong is the housekeeper, why do he want to enhance his favorability in Chu Heng’s heart? There is no need!
Unless... Uncle Zhong appears that Chu Heng doubts him!
With doubts, Mo Jiu found a house to lie until dawn and came directly to the front yard. Sure enough, he saw that the carriage outside was ready.
The carriage is quite large, and even if four people are seated, it will be very spacious. There are two horses pulling the cart in front. The horses turn maroon and look very unruly. Mo Jiu went up and gently stroked the horse's face, and the two horses immediately came up to get close.
"These two fire horses were given to my father by the army's lieutenant officers in the past. My brother and sister have been trained since childhood. They are strong and cannot be touched by others. I didn't expect to be close to you!" Chu Heng's surprised voice appeared behind him.
"It probably seems that I'm easier to bully, haha!" Mo Jiu turned around and saw that the three of them were ready to come out.
Chu Qingxue's spirit has improved a lot. Although she has returned to her previous decent appearance, the smile that Mo Jiu likes very much has disappeared. Chu Heng no longer wears his previous clothes. He wears a brocade coat like a rich young man who is traveling to the lake. He is actually carrying a cage in his hand. However, the young master's cage contains birds, and he has a rabbit in his cage!
Chu Heng looked at Mo Jiu with a deep sense. The two fire horses were not simple. It was rumored that they had a trace of the blood of the Fire Kirin. The three of them were each one. They were all trained since childhood. They were usually not allowed to get close to the housekeeper, but now they are inexplicably close to this little girl, and they have some skills!
"Can you drive?" Chu Heng asked while putting the cage in the car.
"No!" Mo Jiu, as a maid, answered with confidence.
Chu Heng was speechless and could only say to the butler: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhong."
The butler didn't care, so he smiled and brought a footstool to help Chu Qingxue and Chu Heng get on the car. Mo Jiu was very sensible and did not enter the car, but sat outside the car with the butler.
The reins shook, and the two fire horses began to move forward in a very human way, which also marked Mo Jiu's official journey.
Although it was only early in the morning, there were still many people going to the market on the street, so the carriage was not very fast. Mo Jiu looked at the street scenery novelly while listening to the conversation in the carriage.
Chu Qingxue's spirit has obviously improved a lot, and she is not as half-dead as before. "Brother, why do we go to Tiandu City? If the behind-the-scenes instructor knows that the assassination has failed, then she will definitely chase all the way. Will it be too dangerous for us to follow this path?"
To be continued...
