The little thief was caught by Chuci's wrist, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

The thief's name is Gong Ping. He was originally the top ‘craftsman’ in Heishui City. He didn’t expect that he hadn’t opened today and was caught by Chuci.

"Big, my lord!"

Gong Ping raised his eyes to look at Chu Ci, with a smile on his small face, "Let me go, this is the first time I have stolen something!"

"the first time?"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, looked at Gong Ping and said, "Is this the first time I stole something today?"

Gong Ping rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted loudly towards the surroundings.

"Human trafficker! He is a human trafficker!"

"Help! I don't want to be abducted by traffickers!"

Gong Ping's cry for help attracted the attention of the pedestrians around him.

Everyone gathered around in surprise.

"Kill the trafficker!"

"Let go of that kid!"

"Enclose him and don't let him go!"

···

An enthusiastic pedestrian shouted, blocking the way Chuci left.

Seeing this, the drunk Taoist hurriedly explained, "Everyone is misunderstanding, we are not human traffickers!"

The drunk Taoist pointed his finger at Gong Ping and said aloud, "This man is a thief and wants to steal our things!"

Gong Ping's eyes rolled, but Chu Ci grabbed his wrist when he wanted to escape, so he could only fall to the ground and roll around.

"You nonsense! You are human traffickers!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Gong Ping covered his face with one hand and cried out, "Uncles and uncles, they are really human traffickers!"

Gong Ping's cry immediately made many people around him sympathize.

"Let go of that kid!"

Someone stepped forward and pulled Chuci's arm, trying to let Chuci let go.

Seeing this, Chu Ci reluctantly released the palm that grabbed Gong Ping.

Gong Ping noticed that his wrist loosened, and his eyes lit up.

Yi Gu Lu got up from the ground and squeezed into the crowd like a fish.

After Chuci explained clearly, Gong Ping didn't know where to go.

"This little thief is really a thief!"

Chu Ci shook his head and chuckled, greeted the drunk Taoist, "Let's go, go to the inn."

The drunk Taoist took a sip of wine and said, "If you want to find an inn, follow the poor Tao!"

A drunk Taoist who has been to this Heishui City will naturally not have his eyes blackened, and it is quite easy to find an inn.

Xiao Er, come to a pot of tea.

It is the name of the teahouse in front of me.

Chuci raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say, "Isn't Xiao Er still a pot of tea in a teahouse?"

The drunk Taoist smiled and stroked his beard.

Chu Ci smiled and nodded, "That's right!"

"Let's go in and listen to the misunderstanding by the way!"

The three of them walked into the teahouse, and Xiao Er's eyes lit up to greet him.

"How many people are drinking tea or staying in a shop?"

Chuci threw out a piece of broken silver and said, "Drink tea and stay in the store!"

"okay!"

Xiao Er took the broken silver and said with a smile, "You guys wait a minute, tea will come soon!"

Several people from Chuci found a corner seat and sat down, looking around.

The teahouse furnishings are no different from the Xiaoerlai pot of tea in Shengjing City, except that this teahouse has one more floor and three floors, and it should be a guest room for pedestrians.

Ding Ding Dong Dong...

The crisp sound of pipa sounded.

Hearing the sounds of Chuci, he saw a woman bowing her head and strumming the strings on the east side of the teahouse.

The woman's black hair is like a waterfall, which is pulled up with a wooden hairpin.

Although he can't see his face when he lowers his head, he can also tell that he is very human from the side of his face.

"Guest, your tea is here!"

Xiao Er put the teapot on the desk, "You guys take it easy!"

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

The drunk Taoist stopped Xiao Er and asked, "When will the merchant ship that recently crossed the Heishui River set off?"

The little second replied without thinking, "Two days later!"

The drunk Taoist nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Xiaoer turned and left.

Chu Ci looked at the drunk Taoist and asked aloud, "We are going to cross the Heishui River, and we have to wait two days?"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Otherwise? We don't have a big boat to cross the Heishui River!"

The Heishui River is nearly a hundred miles wide, and the current is so fast that it cannot be crossed by large ships.

The drunk Taoist poured a cup of tea on his own, and explained, "If we want to cross the Heishui River, we must take the merchant ships of those big merchants."

"Businessmen need to prepare supplies, so merchant ships do not have them every day. Fortunately, merchant ships have crossed the river in the last two days. We don't need to wait too long."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said in deep thought, "Then let's go shopping in Heishui City for two days."

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and said, "The ticket for the merchant ship to cross the river will be handed over to the poor road!"

After drinking a pot of tea, Chu Ci stood up and said, "Let’s go upstairs and rest. Tomorrow morning, take a good stroll around Heishui City."

The next day, early morning.

Chuci and Leng Ruxue went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor of the teahouse.

The drunk Taoist was eating breakfast listlessly.

"Dao Master, you got up so early?"

Chu Ci sat across from the drunk Taoist and laughed aloud.

The drunk Taoist cast a glance at Chuci, "What is it early, poor Tao didn't sleep last night!"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and asked aloud, "What caused the Dao Chief to toss and turn, and stay awake all night?"

The drunk Taoist rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly, "The bed next to the poor road was shaken all night, how did this make the poor road sleep?"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly and said, "It's none of my business, I live opposite the Taoist chief."

"Ah!"

The drunk Taoist yawned, shook his head and said, "No, Pang Dao wants to go back to sleep."

"You go shopping by yourself."

After the drunk Taoist finished speaking, he finished breakfast in twos and went straight upstairs to make up for his sleep.

Chu Ci looked at the back of the drunk Taoist, shook his head and chuckled lightly.

"Fortunately, I put a forbidden note on the door last night, otherwise the guests who stayed at the hotel would not be able to sleep!"

Leng Ruxue sat beside Chuci, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Master, stop talking!"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, "Okay!"

"Let's go out and go around."

Chu Ci took Leng Ruxue's hand and walked outside the teahouse.

When passing the teahouse counter, Chu Ci suddenly stopped.

"The shopkeeper, ask you something!"

Chu Ci looked at the busy shopkeeper behind the counter and asked aloud, "Has Gongsun Luluo been here?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at Chu Ci, and said in silence for a moment, "Your Excellency is Chu Ci, Master Chu?"

Chu Ci's eyes lit up and asked, "Miss Gongsun told you?"

The shopkeeper said in a deep voice, "Can you let me see Master Chu's waist card?"

Chu Ci reached out and took off his waist card and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper glanced over and returned the waist card to Chu Ci.

"Mr. Chu, Ms. Gongsun visited the teahouse a month ago and left a word."

A different color flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and he asked aloud, "What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper replied aloud, "Girl Gongsun said, the successor has been found!"

"Girl Gongsun also said that she would wait for Master Chu at the Shushan Imperial Sword Palace!"
