Start Six Maids

Yan Ruoyu could only nod her head and said, "Alright then."

"If the son is in need, the concubine, mother and daughter will be there at any time."

Chu Ci nodded in disbelief, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Leng Ruxue's waist.

I can't continue talking to this woman.

This woman is simply poisonous!

Although the appearance is not very high, but every sentence is full of style.

If you were an ordinary person, you couldn't stand it at all!

"Let's go downstairs and have some breakfast."

Pulling Leng Ruxue, Chu Ci hurried downstairs to the cabin lounge.

Zui Taoist, Di Gongming, and Li Chongming were already waiting for Chu Ci in the lounge.

"What would Master Chu want to eat?"

Di Gongming greeted him.

Chu Ci sat down and greeted the boatman, "Here are some steamed buns, and some rice porridge."

"okay!"

The boatman quickly brought over what Chu Ci asked for earlier.

Chu Ci signaled the boatman to put the breakfast on the desk, and said to Di Gongming and the others, "Everyone, eat quickly."

Looking at Yan Ruoyu and Honglian, who looked slightly reserved, Chu Ci greeted, "Ma'am, Miss Honglian, sit down and eat too."

Yan Ruoyu showed a smile on his face, pulled Honglian Fushen and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Di Gongming hadn't seen Yan Ruoyu and Honglian yesterday, but seeing the two daughters' close relationship with Chuci today, he couldn't help being curious.

"Master Chu, who are these two?"

Chu Ci said with a smile, "I'll introduce you to Master Di."

"This is Mrs. Yan, and this is Miss Honglian. Their mother and daughter are lonely and pitiful, so follow me for now."

"After I return to Kyoto, I will resettle their mother and daughter."

Di Gongming nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and said meaningfully, "Master Chu, we still have an important task to go to Xiancheng."

"Take them with you..."

Di Gongming didn't continue to speak, but the implication was obvious.

Taking Yan Ruoyu and Honglian to Xiancheng together might get in the way.

Chu Ci shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Di, there won't be any problems."

Di Gongming nodded, "Master Chu can do whatever he wants."

After a word of reminder, Di Gongming didn't say anything more, picked up a bowl of rice porridge and drank it by himself.

At the hour of Chen, the sailing merchant ship shook slightly, then stopped.

"It should have arrived in Xiancheng!"

Chu Ci and the others stood up and walked out of the cabin.

A few people came to the deck and leaned on the railing to look into the distance, and they saw a solid pier. The pier was crowded with people, and it was a very lively scene.

Looking over the pier, Chu Ci saw a majestic city gate.

The tall and thick city wall is entrenched on the ground, undulating like a crouching dragon.

"What a majestic city!"

Chu Ci couldn't help admiring.

Walking all the way south, Chu Ci passed by countless gates.

Only the one in front of me is as majestic as Shengjing City!

Looking at Xiancheng in the distance, Di Gongming couldn't help but groaned.

"Such an imposing pass, it is really unbreakable!"

"Master Chu, I'm afraid our trip will not go smoothly!"

Di Gongming already had a premonition at this moment that the murder case in Prince Panyang's mansion might be very involved!

Chu Ci chuckled, and said casually, "It doesn't matter if it doesn't go well."

"Whoever gets in the way will be dealt with!"

"This is an order from Her Majesty the Empress, a royal charter!"

Di Gongming laughed when he heard this.

"Ha ha···"

"I was overthinking it."

"With His Majesty's order, no one dares to do anything wrong!"

wow la la

The anchor was thrown into the water, and the sound of chains rubbing against each other continued.

The owner of the ship quickly walked up to Chu Ci and the others, and said respectfully, "My lords, the merchant ship has stopped and you can disembark."

"Let's go."

Chu Ci greeted them, and several people got off the merchant ship and arrived at Xiancheng Wharf.

"Let it go! Let it go!"

"One more person to help!"

"Take these goods down, be careful!"

"Be careful! They are all valuables, so don't drop them."

···

As soon as they walked to the pier, the noisy sound came to their ears.

"A few adults are foreigners? Do you need a guide?"

A slightly cautious voice came into Chu Ci's ears.

Chu Ci heard the sound and saw that the speaker was a young man with plain and clean clothes.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Ci nodded and asked, "What can you do?"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, my name is Shi Liang, and I grew up in Xiancheng."

"Restaurants, Goulan, casinos, I am familiar with the territory of Xiancheng. It will be much easier for me if you rent it, my lord!"

Chapter 409 Arriving in Xiancheng

Chu Ci looked at the self-introduction of the young man in front of him, with a look of interest in his eyes.

"Okay."

"How to hire you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Liang showed a bright smile on his face, and said, "One tael of silver a day is enough."

"My lord, I can take care of everything you need to do in Xiancheng."

Chu Ci took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and threw it to Shi Liang.

"I'll give you the money, and I'll hire you for ten days first."

Shi Liang took the money nimbly, weighed it and said awkwardly, "Master, ten days and ten taels of silver is enough, you give too much!"

Chu Ci waved his hand and said, "The rest will be your tip."

Shi Liang's eyes lit up suddenly, and carefully collected the money.

"Thank you sir!"

"My lord, please follow me, and I will take you into the city."

Chu Ci nodded and followed Shi Liang.

In front of the city gate, Shi Liang said to Chu Ci, "My lord, you need to register and pay the entry fee to enter Xiancheng."

There was a strange look in Chu Ci's eyes, and he said out loud, "Xiancheng's management is very strict."

Shi Liangliang nodded and said, "It has become much stricter in recent years."

"But that's not surprising."

Shi Liang explained to Chu Ci, "Xiancheng is the first barrier in the southern region of the empire, and further south is the southern vassal state."

"Because there are many subjects who come and go in Xiancheng, strict registration is also conducive to the management of personnel flow."

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and glanced at Shi Liang in surprise.

This boy looked like he was in his teens, but he knew a lot.

"You came up with all these?"

Shi Liang scratched his head, and said embarrassingly, "My lord, I figured it out."

Looking at Chu Ci, Shi Liang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your accent is from Kyoto, right?"

Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, "Can you hear it?"

Shi Liang nodded and said, "The more you listen, the more you can tell the difference."

"Kyoto, Western Regions, Eastern Regions, Shuzhou, the accents in these places are different."

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Yes, we are indeed from Shengjing City."

Shi Liang heard the words and said in a low voice, "Then when you enter the city to register, remember to say that you are here to do business in Xiancheng, which will save you a lot of trouble."

Chu Ci chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

This boy is not very old, but he has a lot of fluffy ideas.

"Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Shi Liang grinned, showing his white teeth.

"Since I have received the employment fee from the adults, I have to think about the adults."

Chu Ci patted Shi Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go to the city."

After registering and paying the entrance fee, several people walked into Xiancheng.

The wide main road extends from the city gate to the end of the line of sight.

There are row upon row of shops on both sides, and pedestrians come and go continuously.

The drunk Taoist looked around, stroked his beard and said, "This Xiancheng is huge!"

Di Gongming looked back at the city wall of Xiancheng, and said in a deep voice, "This city wall is also tall and thick!"

At first glance, a few people can tell that this is definitely a majestic pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The wall of the city wall has been reinforced, and traces of pouring of molten iron can still be seen on the outside."

While guiding Chuci and the others forward, Shi Liang said aloud, "Your Excellency has good eyesight."

"Xiancheng has been reinforced several times by His Royal Highness Xianwang."

"The most recent time was at the beginning of the year."

"Furthermore, Xian City has been expanded three times, and now Xian City is much bigger than before!"

Chu Ci looked around and said in a deep voice, "Shi Liang, let's find a place to live first."

Shi Liang asked aloud, "What kind of place do you want to live, my lord? Is it normal or better?"

Chu Ci said directly, "The most expensive one is not bad."

Shi Liang nodded, "No problem!"
