Opening Six Maids

Chapter 21: The knife is a good knife

Nothing is more important than your own safety!

This sentence came out of the mouth of a retired soldier, which undoubtedly shocked Chuci very much.

The soldiers of the Longyan Empire are very loyal to the empire. In their eyes, the horse leather shroud and throwing blood for the country is their pursuit!

On the contrary, their lives are in danger, but they don't care.

Although Tengshan has retired from the Pioneer Camp, the blood in his chest has not yet cooled down.

Now saying this to Chuci is enough to prove that Tengshan cares about Chuci very much.

Chu Ci looked at Tengshan with a solemn expression, nodded and said, "Uncle Teng rest assured, I know it in my heart."

When he mentioned the iron kettle and poured a bowl of tea for Tengshan, Chu Ci continued, “I will report to the Deception Office the day after tomorrow. I will need a night watchman at that time, and I may rarely go back to the alley.”

Teng Shan nodded, "Well, the Department of Sorrow is busy, so don't worry about it at home, I will let your aunt clean your house regularly."

"Then trouble aunt." Chu Ci put the long object in his hand in front of Tengshan, and said with a smile, "I came back this time with some things, which can be regarded as compensation for the kindness of the uncle in the alley over the years."

Tengshan was startled, then shook his head and said, "Uncle in the alley takes care of you, not for this."

Chu Ci nodded solemnly, "I know, but this can be considered a little bit of my heart."

"I have already delivered it to the other uncles and aunts."

Upon seeing this, Tengshan didn't say anything any more, but clicked on the object in front of him, "What is this?"

Chu Ci untied the red cloth wrapped around the object and said aloud, "I know that Uncle Teng is not short of food and clothing, so this thing is considered as a gift from me to the sixth son."

"For me?!"

A surprise sound came from outside the house.

In the next second, Teng Liu's head stuck out from outside the room, his eyes fixed on the thing in Chuci's hand.

"The stinky boy isn't outside to practice boxing, just listen to nothing!"

Tengshan stared at Teng Liu with a black face, and Teng Liu narrowed his neck in fright.

Chu Ci laughed when he saw this, "Uncle Teng, don't scare him."

After speaking, Chu Ci waved to Teng Liu outside the house, "Six sons, come in!"

"Hey!" Teng Liu responded excitedly when he heard the words, and walked into the house quickly.

Sitting beside Tengshan, Teng Liu looked expectantly at Chu Ci to completely untie the red cloth.

"It's a knife! A horizontal knife!"

After seeing the contents of the red cloth clearly, Teng Liu exclaimed in an instant.

Wrapped in the red cloth is a horizontal knife, a very popular style in the Longyan Empire.

The iron-wood scabbard is dark and deep in color, and looks very calm and solemn.

The handle is slightly longer, and it can be held with one hand or with both hands horizontally. The surface is wrapped with fine hemp rope, which is non-slip and beautiful.

Chu Ci grabbed the scabbard with one hand, held it on the handle with the other, and then pulled it hard.

Cang!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the knife, the long knife came out of its sheath.

The blade is three feet and seven inches long, with a straight blade and a single-sided blade. The blade is sharp and piercing.

A blood trough pierced the tip of the knife from the hilt of the knife. This is a murder weapon!

Gudong!

Tengliu stared at the long knife in Chuci's hand intently, and swallowed subconsciously.

Chu Ci turned the blade and handed the handle to Teng Shan, "Uncle Teng, what do you think of this knife?"

Tengshan took the long knife with one hand, and looked it up in front of him for a moment, then his wrist shook, and the blade hummed and trembled.

After listening for a moment, Tengshan nodded in satisfaction, "Good knife!"

Looking at Chuci, Tengshan smiled and said, "Is it bought from Tie Zhongtang?"

Chu Ci nodded, "Yes, I knew it was given to Uncle Teng and Tie Zhongtang personally selected this knife."

"Haha..." Tengshan laughed for a while, "When I joined the army, I bought a knife from him."

"That knife followed me in the north and south, but it killed a lot of enemies!"

"But it's a pity..." Teng Shan sighed lightly, "In the battle three years ago, the knife followed my arm and it was destroyed!"

Chu Ci looked at Teng Liu, who was eager to try, and said with a smile, "Uncle Teng doesn't need to mind, is it still a successor now?"

Tengshan looked at Teng Liu, with a smile in his eyes, and handed the long knife in his hand to Teng Liu.

"Smelly boy, don't hurry up and thank you Chu brother!"

Teng Liu carefully took the long knife with both hands, and showed a big smile toward Chuci, "Thank you, Brother Chu!"

Chu Ci smiled and rubbed Tengliu's head, "Okay, put it away quickly!"

"Practice the knife well, it will be your best partner in the future!"

Teng Liu put away the long knife and nodded heavily, "Well, I know!"

···

When I came out of Tengshan's house, it was getting late.

Chuci did not go to the palace, but went straight back to his home.

Lying on the bed in his kimono, Chu Ci closed his eyes slightly.

[Slaying the monster is worth 150 points, the second layer of the Dragon Court, cannot be upgraded. 】

After a while, Chu Ci opened his eyes, and at the same time began to wonder where to find a demon, so as to kill the demon value.

···

Early in the morning, Chuci got up to wash and went out of Wuyi Lane after breakfast.

Today is the last day before Chu Ci went to the Deception Office to report. I am afraid it will not be easy to want to be so leisurely in the future, so Chu Ci plans to take a good stroll around this Longyan Empire capital.

Outside Wuyi Lane is Ping An Street. Walk north along Ping An Street, and you will arrive at Zhongyuan Street, the most prosperous street in the capital.

The whole Zhongyuan Street is paved with three-foot-square stone slabs. The gaps between the stone slabs are very narrow, and they are connected to each other as a whole.

The street is wide enough to accommodate eight carriages running side by side.

On both sides are row upon row of shops, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming in and out.

Chuci strolled along Zhongyuan Street, turning around and looking around, his eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

In front of a teahouse, Chu Ci suddenly stopped.

Turning his head slightly, Chu Ci listened intently to the voice coming from the second floor of the tea house.
