Opening Six Maids

Chapter 249: Sudden assassination!

Chu Ci stretched out his hand and brushed the peeling red paint on the pillar, frowning in thought.

The red paint peeled off strangely, and it didn't come off naturally because of too long time.

Looking at its neat edges, it was obvious that someone had deliberately chipped off the red paint.

The drunk Taoist also saw this scene and said, "It should be cut off by someone deliberately, maybe to hide some clues."

Chu Ci nodded and called Zhao Dahai outside the door.

Zhao Dahai respectfully asked, "My lord, are you looking for me?"

Chu Ci pointed to the place where the red paint peeled off on the pillars, and said, "What's the matter?"

When Zhao Dahai heard the words, his expression suddenly stiffened.

"Well, why did the red paint on this column fall off?"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said, "I should ask you for this!"

Zhao Dahai came back to his senses and hurriedly replied, "My lord, sorry! This is the mistake of the official!"

Zhao Dahai pondered for a moment, and continued, "My lord, this piece of red paint hasn't fallen when the lower official took over the palace."

"Besides, this bedroom was sealed before this, and no one entered at all, except..."

Zhao Dahai's eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed, "My lord, the next official knows who removed the red paint!"

Chu Ci asked aloud, "Who is it?"

Zhao Dahai hurriedly replied, "It was the first person who came to the palace. He said he was the housekeeper of King Pan Yang, and he was the only one who had entered this bedroom!"

A strange color flashed in the eyes of Chu Ci hearing the words.

Sure enough, is it the blessing?

What did he do after cutting off the red paint on the pillars?

Chu Ci frowned slightly, after a moment of contemplation, a thought came up in his mind.

Perhaps the surface of this column was also written in ancient Xianguo characters, which is the entrance to a secret chamber!

It's a pity that the red paint was cut off, and Chuci didn't know what was written on it, so he couldn't use it to enter the secret room.

Chu Ci retracted his thoughts, looked at Zhao Dahai, who was cautious on the side, and said aloud, "Master Zhao, thank you for your cooperation."

Zhao Dahai hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is what the lower officials should do!"

Chu Ci nodded and greeted the drunk Taoist to leave the site of the Panyang Palace.

After leaving the Palace of Panyang, Chuci stood up and rode on a rare horse.

"Master, let's go."

"Where is the next stop?"

The drunk Taoist rode side by side with Chuci, stroked his beard and muttered, "Out of White Rock City, and then go south is the Heishui River!"

"Heishuihe?" Chu Ci asked curiously, "Is there any allusion to the strange name?"

The drunk Taoist raised his head and took a sip and explained, "The Heishui River is the largest river in the empire. The water is turbulent and the waves are magnificent!"

"Someone once measured that the Heishui River is a hundred miles wide!"

The drunk Taoist looked at Chu Ci and said with emotion, "What is the concept of a hundred miles wide river surface?"

"I can't see it at a glance! It can be called the ocean on land!"

"Furthermore, the water level of the Heishui River is extremely high. Looking down from the surface of the river, its color is as deep as black ink, hence the name Heishui River."

Hearing the words, Chu Ci revealed a strange color in his eyes, "Is this Heishui River so vast?"

"Really worthy of the title of land and ocean."

"Haha..." The drunk Taoist laughed and said, "Boy, when you see Heishuihe with your own eyes, you will know what the real magnificence is!"

Chu Ci talked with the drunk Taoist and rode forward.

When passing a corner, a person suddenly rushed out in front of him.

This person didn't seem to find Chu Ci and the drunk Taoist, and posted them very quickly.

"Call!"

Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly reined the Linjiao horse.

The Linjiao horse raised its front hoof high and almost stepped on the man.

"what!"

The visitor seemed to realize that he was almost trampled under his horse's hoof and fell to the ground with an exclamation.

"I, my feet, it hurts!"

Chu Ci turned over and got off his horse, and saw a teenage girl clutching her ankle and falling to the ground.

"How are you? Can you still go?"

Chuci squatted down and asked the little girl aloud.

The little girl looked at Chu Ci after hearing the words, with tears in her big eyes.

"My feet hurt, I can't seem to stand up!"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, and said, "Let me see?"

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Chu Ci reached out and lifted the hem of the little girl's skirt, and saw the little girl's slightly red and swollen ankles.

"It should be twisted, let me help you to see the doctor first!"

The little girl's tears fell down, and she said weakly, "Yes, but I have no money."

Chu Ci chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll pay the consultation fee!"

The little girl pursed her mouth, hesitated for a moment and nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."

A smile appeared on Chu Ci's face, and he stretched out his hand towards the little girl, "Come on, I will help you up."

The little girl tentatively put her little hand into Chuci's palm, and stood up with her body supported.

"Oops!"

"hiss···"

The little girl had just stood firm, and if she didn't pay attention to the instability of her feet, she would fall down.

Seeing this, Chu Ci took a step forward subconsciously and gave the little girl a hand.

The little girl fell into Chuci's arms, holding Chuci's arm with one hand and rubbing the other hand on her waist.

puff!

The sound of the blade sinking into the body sounded.

The look on Chuci's face was instantly stunned!

"Whee···"

The little girl chuckled and took off from Chuci's arms.

"Yeah! The task is easy!"

The little girl pointed at the dagger at the end of Chu Ci's abdomen, and said with a smile, "Master Yushi, I will take your life!"

Cang!

The sound of swords rang.

A fierce sword light shot from a distance, and instantly scratched the little girl's neck.

After a few breaths, a blood line appeared on the girl's neck.

puff···

In the next second, blood spurted from the girl's neck like a fountain.

A series of movements were only completed like sparks and flints, and the drunk Taoist came back to his senses and hurriedly jumped off the rare horseback.

"Chuci, how are you?!"

[Detected the weird aura erosion, do you consume the Demon Slaying value to disperse it? 】

There was a voice in Chu Ci's mind.

The weird breath erodes?

Chuci was stunned and noticed the colic in his abdomen. Chuci said silently in his heart, "Dispel!"

【Consumption of 300 slaying demon value, the strange aura has been dispelled! 】

Gan!

Chu Ci was so annoyed that the value of the three hundred slaughter monsters was gone!

Looking up at the little girl who hadn't lived long ago, the cold light in Chu Ci's eyes flickered.

who is she? Killer assassin?

Just as Chuci was thinking about it, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and there was an extra person.

"Who?!"

The drunk Taoist expression tightened, and he was about to stop in front of Chu Ci.

"Go away!"

The icy voice sounded, and the drunk Taoist flew out directly, hitting the ground with a bang, but it didn't hurt anything.

"go!"

With a soft drink, the person lifted up Chuci and disappeared into the street instantly.

The drunk Taoist looked at the figure that was about to disappear in the distance, and raised his foot to chop the ground.

"Gan! Immeasurable Tianzun!"

"Wait for the old-fashioned!"
