"Rules? Who made the rules?"
"The practice established by the previous palace masters."
"Then who do you say this seat is? Guardian Zuo, tell me, who is this seat?"
"Palace Master... is the Palace Master of Jianjia Palace."
"That's right, the one who set the precedent was the owner of the Jianjia Palace, and now I am also the owner of the Jianjia Palace, and I am not the emperor's old son. Do I have to introduce some ancestral family law for me? Isn't it the ancestor of the descendants?!" Gu Cijiu insisted, "Besides...the biggest practice of Jianjia Palace, isn't everything obeying the orders of the Palace Master?"
The biggest practice of Jianjia Palace is that everything is obeyed by the Palace Master, and the Palace Master is God!
Regardless of how the high-level officials slander, why don't they look down on Gu Cijiu, who is "just twenty", "unknown", "just practiced "Fushuang Jielu", "do you really think you are someone?" host.On the surface, they can only nod.
All the civil and martial arts masters in the martial arts hall are all there, and they all bring the outline written by Gu Cijiu. When they receive it, they just practice according to the outline.There is no need to recruit children from the beginning, and adults are fine too. After all, it is the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts school. Let them take up the burden of escorts and couriers as soon as possible, and everything can be on track as soon as possible.
The martial arts gym outside is not finished, and the messy things at home have to be solved step by step, the first thing is the matter of Fengliudian.It's just that the situation in the Palace of Merry Manners was not formed in a few years, but in more than ten years, or even decades. What's more, it's rooted in illusions. It's not so easy to set things right.
"A child who was quite smart at first, why did he become a palace master and then drift away?" Elder Wu, who had always been optimistic about Gu Cijiu, sighed.
"Elder, don't worry. After all, the Palace Master is still young. He has only been the Palace Master for less than half a year, and he is still dizzy. When the Palace Master really suffers, he should be able to turn around."
"Sigh... I hope so, now the martial arts world is also in troubled times, we can't be chaotic in Jianjia Palace. You go back first, don't let the Palace Master worry."
"Yes."
The visitor took advantage of the darkness and went all the way back to the main hall. Who knew that he had just entered the gate of the main hall when someone covered his mouth and squeezed him in.
Suddenly someone pushed and shoved from behind, the visitor rolled on the ground, but froze when he tried to stand up, the white-haired and white-eyed person standing in front of him, wasn't it the owner of Jianjia Palace?
"Su Ho, you have taken care of me for ten years, and you have done your best, so if I let you die quickly, it can be regarded as a complete treat for you and my master and servant."
The captured betrayer was none other than Su He who was arranged by Elder Wu to be beside Gu Cijiu back then.He was not young back then, and now he is already a tall old man, kneeling on the ground, a bit pitiful.Su Ho didn't panic, but said calmly: "Palace Master, you are extremely talented, but you are too young to do whatever you want. The Palace Mistress of Jianjia Palace doesn't do that."
Hearing what he said, Gu Cijiu was not in a hurry to send him away: "You have two daughters and one son sent to Fengliu Palace, don't you?"
Su Ho didn't marry a wife, but he had a woman bestowed on him by his master (Elder Wu), and he had children, quite a few.But as a father, he just asked his women to raise their children and send them away when they were three years old. They didn't care about going to Qian Palace, Merry Palace, or even Shadow Palace.
"We servants don't ask about these things."
"Twenty years ago, Elder Wu was the groom. In the bridal chamber was a pair of siblings who looked like twins. The elder sister was thirteen, and the younger brother was twelve. In less than a year, this pair of siblings was disgusted by Elder Wu. There were many people in the palace, and then they were sent to the filthiest place. In winter, the siblings were frozen to death together and buried in a mass grave outside the palace."
"The palace master wants to say that these are my children?" Su Ho sneered, "The lie of the palace master is really ridiculous! Our Jianjia Palace has never allowed marriages in the palace! In the rooms of the guardians and elders People are people outside the palace!"
Gu Cijiu looked at him and nodded: "I understand."
He slapped him across the air. Back then, the boy was cold and shivering, but Su Ho's face turned blue, and he looked like an ordinary person. In fact, his brain had been frozen into a lump of solid ice.The speed at which the brain was frozen was too fast, and Su Ho's heart beat for a while, until his face seemed to be sweating, and there was an extra layer of water vapor, and this person was completely dead.
Su Ho is a person with firm beliefs, firmly believes that he is the party of justice, and firmly believes that he follows the rules.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid there are many people in Jianjia Palace who have the same thinking as Su Ho."
When Gu Cijiu first came here, he also thought that the Jianjia Palace was very good. The palace was full of brothers, sisters, elders and relatives. Even between the elders and the servants, there was a family relationship. It was like a paradise.But the facts proved that he was thinking too much, without corresponding system constraints, in the class world of Jianjia Palace, where there are clearly grades, it is impossible to have warmth.
Su Ho and Shadow Guard, why not have some similarities?They don't ask right or wrong, and they don't know how to use their own brains. They only think about the word "loyalty".
"Throw it into Elder Wu's yard, it can be regarded as a friendship between their master and servant."
Gu Cijiu originally planned that Elder Wu would be furious when he saw Su Ho's body, and question him in class, but who knew, Elder Wu kept a straight face as usual and acted as selfless as he was.
It's a pity, the narrow-minded person Jiasan directly hung Su Ho on Elder Wu's bed.Elder Wu and his concubine were woken up by the water dripping from Su Ho's head and face at night, almost peeing in fright.
But it also shows that these older generations are really abolished. On the surface, the so-called prudence and worry are regarded as old-fashioned, but in fact they are just maggots who indulge in pleasure.
At night again, Gu Cijiu had a drink or two in the room, while the younger junior brother held the wine pot for him: "I used to think that Elder Wu was a hero with eyesight, but now it seems that he really deceived me when I was young. , think this seat is impulsive and irritable, think that this seat is easy to control?"
In contrast, the original Qu Wuxin, but since he was a child, has shown a talent and bold temperament, and he acts step by step without making any mistakes.
Duan Shaobo, who poured wine for his senior brother, the palace lord, and being a serious shadow guard, laughed in his heart. His senior brother would take a few more turns when he was fooling people, and when he was doing other things, he still liked to break through hundreds of thousands of people with all his strength. Coincidentally, this makes people who are not familiar with him look a little reckless.
It seems that the few people headed by Elder Wu are really strong in acting, making the elder brother feel that they have a lot of help, who knows that now they are just looking poor, and people just treat him as a fool.
Although the previous things were considered to be according to what they needed, the master's trip did not suffer.But after all, he was taken advantage of by others and still treated him as a good person. This is the first time that senior brother has fallen so badly, right?
Gu Ci took a sip of his wine for a long time, and glanced at his little junior brother. Don't think that he wouldn't know he was laughing because he was wearing a veil. The laughter in his heart was so loud that it bothered him, okay? !
"However, this is the only way to have fun in life! Jiaqi, don't you think so?"
"The Palace Master said so."
Gu Cijiu stretched, stood up, walked behind Duan Shaobo, and squeezed his earlobe "viciously"!
"You and Jia San and Jia Liu come with me." With the three shadow guards, Gu Cijiu went to the small kitchen of the main hall.
It is rumored in the palace that when he was still a prince, he was scared out of his nerve by being poisoned. That's why he built a small kitchen as soon as he became the palace lord, and only let the shadow guards do the work. Eat only the vulgar things of the Shadowguard.
Of course, it was "someone" who released it to ruin his reputation. In fact, it was not the shadow guards who fed the palace master, but the palace master fed the shadow guards, okay? ! →_→Although if this fact is known to others, his reputation as the owner of Jianjia Palace may be even worse, but it is really too unbelievable...
But today, Gu Cijiu didn't cook for the shadow guards. He went into the small kitchen by himself, first picked up a bag of rice, and asked the younger brother and the others to fight the rice noodles. A live chicken with a mouth on it.This group of them, unlike the leader and minions of the Demon Cult, looked more like food delivery guys for restaurants, and they just escaped into the darkness.
What Gu Cijiu took them to was the forbidden area after Jianjia Palace...
Jianjia Palace is not so much a palace as it is a small mountain city built on Shoucang Mountain.The forbidden area is at the back of the Jianjia Palace. If you leave the Jianjia Palace and look up from the foot of Shoucang Mountain, you can clearly see the forbidden area on the top of the mountain—three cliffs, and it really is a forbidden area.
Between the Forbidden Land and Jianjia Palace, it was tightly blocked by a two-foot-high city wall, and it would only be opened when the previous palace lords were buried or the new palace lord was selected to "send" the rest of the princes away.
It stands to reason that so many years have passed, even if all the people sent in are men and no offspring are allowed, the cliff should have been full of houses and people.But no, everyone disappeared after entering, which filled this forbidden area with countless mysteries.
But Gu Cijiu knew that there was nothing mysterious, those people disappeared, but they were all dead.The shadow guard has Gu poison on his body, so he needs to take antidote every month.After entering the forbidden area, no one would give them an antidote, so only one of them died.Young masters who failed to compete for the palace lord will also have to abolish their martial arts before being sent to the forbidden area. The domineering technique of "Frost Excerpting from the Dew" will cause great damage to the body if it is abolished halfway. Sending them into the forbidden area will also end up with only one death.
No one gave food and drink to the forbidden land, eating wild animals in the forbidden land, eating grass roots, and even eating dead people, it would not last long.In addition, if you want to break into Jianjia Palace by force, or go down the cliff, it is a dead end.
So year after year, I just watched the vegetation in the forbidden area become more and more verdant...
However, the two feet high wall in the forbidden area can block others, but it cannot stop Gu Cijiu.He "threw" the shadow guards who were not as good at lightness, and finally put his arms around the waist of his junior brother, and entered the forbidden area from the slanted upper corner of the high wall.
The four gathered together, and Gu Cijiu led them towards one direction with a clear purpose.
Even in the middle of the night, the four of them still had clear ears and eyesight, and saw that there were many bones among the grass and trees on the ground, the roots of the grass and trees pierced into the dark eye sockets of the skeletons, and the leaves were dyed with phosphorous powder, and they swelled at night. With a faint light, it is like some legendary monster swallowing human flesh and blood.Where is this place a forbidden area, it is clearly a mass grave.
Gu Cijiu pushed aside a piece of vine, and the front suddenly opened... It's not bright, it's just a bit more spacious, it's a well-kept camp, with a small bonfire burning in the middle, a group of ragged men gathered around the bonfire, Lying on both sides decadently.
There were rarely only three people on one side, and they were obviously the same class as Gu Cijiu. There should have been four of them, but one of them committed suicide immediately after entering the forbidden area.
There are many more people on the other side, there are more than 20 people, even if not all of them have black scarves, but they are obviously shadow guards, the shadow guards of the previous palace master.
Shadow guards have qualified candidates every year.The difference is the number of people. When there are many, there can be more than 20 people in one session, and when there are few, there are none.
The previous palace lord had been in office for ten years. Although the shadow guards suffered losses due to various missions, or they automatically retired when they reached the age limit, there were still quite a few shadow guards. It turned out that there were more than 50 shadow guards who followed his coffin into the forbidden area. 60 people, but now there are less than half left.
Those who disappeared, all committed suicide.They live all their lives for their masters. Without their masters, the meaning of living is gone, so it is better to follow their masters as before.What's more... Even if he survives, he can live for half a month at most, so why wait until the poison in his body breaks out and life is worse than death?
Those who survived now are the shadow guards who have passed the assessment of the Shadow Palace, but are not very "qualified" until now. They want to live. Without their master, only they want to live, and those who are struggling can live for a moment It's a moment, even though...they have never felt the real joy of life in this life.
"The two bags of steamed buns and two bottles of antidote that were sent in every other month before were also sent by me. I am the current owner of the Jianjia Palace." Gu Cijiu stood there, put down the bag of noodles, and the younger brothers and the others also sent The food I brought was placed around Gu Cijiu's noodle bag, "Want to follow me?"
He looked at those shadow guards and asked, he thought that seven or eight people could be taken away at most today, but who knew, more than ten shadow guards stood up clattering, and these people stood up and knelt on the ground, holding their daggers with both hands First of all, this is a dagger, which means respecting Gu Cijiu.
"Okay, get up now." Gu Cijiu nodded, and the shadow guards fought neatly, and they were listed behind Gu Cijiu.Gu Cijiu turned his attention to the small group of people who were still sitting on the ground. He thought he could try to fool everyone...sincerely persuaded, "I am indeed employing people at this time, everyone, come back with me, I will not treat you harshly."
"Thank you, Palace Master, for your love, but the servants are useless and cannot serve Palace Master anymore."
"May I take your pulse?" Gu Cijiu leaned over.
These people stretched out their arms calmly. It turned out that the forbidden area was cold and damp, and the shadow guards who had been forced to grow had some bone problems. An ordinary person would probably be rolling all over the floor in pain.
"The manpower I want is not for you to kill people or watch the night for me, but for you to do things. I will also treat your illnesses. Are you willing to come with me?"
These people were taken aback for a moment, they thought that Gu Cijiu had confirmed that they were useless, and it was kindness to turn around and leave.It is even possible to kill them to silence them, but I did not expect such a gentle inquiry, it is a bit like a dream.
At this time, the shadow guards had everything on their minds, but most of them were moved.They didn't think that Gu Cijiu was trying to trick them out with good words, and there was no other way to harm them.There is no need for that, most of the brothers have surrendered to the past, and their shadow guards are all upright people. Although they did not commit suicide for the former master, they will definitely not disobey the new master's order.
It was not a problem for Gu Cijiu to let the converts directly tie them up and take them away.
That's all for the sake of it, they have endured in pain until now, aren't they also greedy for work?Naturally, they were willing to go out: "I have seen the master." They were in pain all over, and their flesh and bones were sore, but they still tried their best to kneel on the ground, and their hands tried not to tremble, and they pointed the dagger at the master!
Gu Cijiu nodded, and the shadow guards who had just returned to him behind him immediately stepped forward, one by one, and pinched the companion who couldn't move freely.
"Fifteen! No! Palace Master! Palace Master, take me away too! I can do anything for you!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the young masters on the other side quit, and one of them immediately shouted He rushed towards Gu Cijiu.
"Xiao Qiqi!" When this person's martial arts were still good, Gu Cijiu couldn't let him get close, let alone now?
"Yes!" Duan Shaobo made an instant move, and removed the hands and feet of the three young masters in a split-knit technique. After he was done, he stood back and realized that something was wrong.Especially the eyes of the other shadow guards, some of them can be described as horrifying.
Bridge Bean Sacks!Eldest brother called him a god horse just now? !And he actually complied!
Forget it, Xiao Qiqi will be Xiao Qiqi, what else can I do with my senior brother?Of course it is spoiled.
"The palace lord put us here like this, we will die of thirst, starve to death, or be bitten to death by insects. Please also give us a good palm for the sake of our ten-year classmates." Qu Wuxin had already scolded that companion just now, and Gu Cijiu was already about to take them away, and wanted to leave them a way out, but he had to jump out and beg, wouldn't that be courting death?
Gu Cijiu was not afraid of them escaping from the forbidden area, but what if they held a grudge and went to the wall of the forbidden area to yell and tell all about Gu Cijiu taking away the shadow guard?Previously, Gu Cijiu still had two kindnesses, but now they are completely gone.
"Qu Wuxin! If you want to die, you die! Don't drag us!" The two were still cursing and clamoring.
Qu Wuxin had already closed her eyes, waiting to die quietly.He and Gu Cijiu are winners and losers, and Gu Cijiu is a real talent and learner, and he won't lose if he loses.But on the day of defeat, he deserved to die, his martial arts were abolished, his foundation was damaged, and he was completely waiting for death, which was not what he wanted.But he is not a coward who is willing to end his life by himself, so it's fine to just go now.
Gu Ci responded to him for a long time, and he slapped him over. The other person seemed to be safe, but in fact he had already gone.He didn't care about the other two, but took the shadow guards back to the main hall, and took away all the food they brought. Anyway, these two people are dead, so there is no need to waste food.
It was a little more troublesome when crossing the fence.These shadow guards lack food and clothing, even if they are not bad at walking, they are not in good health, and the original shadow guards except Duan Shaobo were all thrown by Gu Cijiu, making it even more difficult for them to pass the fence.Gu Cijiu was straightforward, taking them two at a time, bringing them over in waves.
When they arrived at the main hall, the shadow guards already had a preliminary understanding of the palace lord. He was independent, courageous, good at martial arts, and... treated them very well.
I have never heard of any generation of palace masters who ran into the forbidden area to deliver food, drink and antidote to the former shadow guards, but he did.I have never heard of any generation of palace masters who brought people back from the forbidden area, he did.I have never heard of any palace lord who would help the shadow guard. He helped, and it seemed to be very easy, natural, and reasonable.Although it was also to bring them back to work for him, but...they were willing to sacrifice their lives!
Gu Cijiu's other seven shadow guards all knew what Gu Cijiu was doing, and they walked forward, and the seven of them scattered around the main hall, in case the servants in the hall noticed, or if someone came suddenly, they could delay for a while .Fortunately, nothing happened until Gu Cijiu came back, but he still surprised the seven shadow guards with so many people.
But... my own shadow guards, plus the 23 shadow guards brought back, a total of 33 people, once they entered the main hall, only Gu Cijiu and the younger brother were left, oh, yes, there was also the younger brother The ingredients at the feet, the two live chickens fell on the ground and kept kicking their legs.As agreed, there are six other people with handicapped legs and feet?
"Come out five!"
brush! !Whoosh!Whoosh!
→_→With an order, seven of them came out at the same time, and the two that were left withdrew.Actually... a little fun?
"Two to boil water, all four stoves will be on fire, and the rest will cook with me."
Duan Shaobo was ordered to build a "small" kitchen, which is only compared to the several large kitchens in Jianjia Palace. In fact, the small kitchen has four large stoves, and the pots on the stoves can make a child of two or three years old. Take a bath in it, the table for cooking in the middle is wide and large, and there are a lot of ingredients.
The new shadow guards rolled up their sleeves to see the master they just recognized, and started to meet face to face! ?
"Little Qiqi, you take someone to shred the chicken. You two, go shred the vegetable."
But after a while, Gu Cijiu and a large ball of white, fat and cute dough were gone.Helpless, no matter how good his cooking skills are, there is no way to complete the fermentation in an instant, so let's just pull the noodles.
There was old soup that had been prepared earlier, Gu Cijiu mixed the soup, grabbed a ball of noodles and started making ramen.The white and fat dough quickly turned into thin ramen noodles with countless strands in his hands.Because the noodles are so thin, they can be taken out of the pan almost by dipping them in boiling hot soup.
"The practice established by the previous palace masters."
"Then who do you say this seat is? Guardian Zuo, tell me, who is this seat?"
"Palace Master... is the Palace Master of Jianjia Palace."
"That's right, the one who set the precedent was the owner of the Jianjia Palace, and now I am also the owner of the Jianjia Palace, and I am not the emperor's old son. Do I have to introduce some ancestral family law for me? Isn't it the ancestor of the descendants?!" Gu Cijiu insisted, "Besides...the biggest practice of Jianjia Palace, isn't everything obeying the orders of the Palace Master?"
The biggest practice of Jianjia Palace is that everything is obeyed by the Palace Master, and the Palace Master is God!
Regardless of how the high-level officials slander, why don't they look down on Gu Cijiu, who is "just twenty", "unknown", "just practiced "Fushuang Jielu", "do you really think you are someone?" host.On the surface, they can only nod.
All the civil and martial arts masters in the martial arts hall are all there, and they all bring the outline written by Gu Cijiu. When they receive it, they just practice according to the outline.There is no need to recruit children from the beginning, and adults are fine too. After all, it is the beginning of the establishment of the martial arts school. Let them take up the burden of escorts and couriers as soon as possible, and everything can be on track as soon as possible.
The martial arts gym outside is not finished, and the messy things at home have to be solved step by step, the first thing is the matter of Fengliudian.It's just that the situation in the Palace of Merry Manners was not formed in a few years, but in more than ten years, or even decades. What's more, it's rooted in illusions. It's not so easy to set things right.
"A child who was quite smart at first, why did he become a palace master and then drift away?" Elder Wu, who had always been optimistic about Gu Cijiu, sighed.
"Elder, don't worry. After all, the Palace Master is still young. He has only been the Palace Master for less than half a year, and he is still dizzy. When the Palace Master really suffers, he should be able to turn around."
"Sigh... I hope so, now the martial arts world is also in troubled times, we can't be chaotic in Jianjia Palace. You go back first, don't let the Palace Master worry."
"Yes."
The visitor took advantage of the darkness and went all the way back to the main hall. Who knew that he had just entered the gate of the main hall when someone covered his mouth and squeezed him in.
Suddenly someone pushed and shoved from behind, the visitor rolled on the ground, but froze when he tried to stand up, the white-haired and white-eyed person standing in front of him, wasn't it the owner of Jianjia Palace?
"Su Ho, you have taken care of me for ten years, and you have done your best, so if I let you die quickly, it can be regarded as a complete treat for you and my master and servant."
The captured betrayer was none other than Su He who was arranged by Elder Wu to be beside Gu Cijiu back then.He was not young back then, and now he is already a tall old man, kneeling on the ground, a bit pitiful.Su Ho didn't panic, but said calmly: "Palace Master, you are extremely talented, but you are too young to do whatever you want. The Palace Mistress of Jianjia Palace doesn't do that."
Hearing what he said, Gu Cijiu was not in a hurry to send him away: "You have two daughters and one son sent to Fengliu Palace, don't you?"
Su Ho didn't marry a wife, but he had a woman bestowed on him by his master (Elder Wu), and he had children, quite a few.But as a father, he just asked his women to raise their children and send them away when they were three years old.

No one gave food and drink to the forbidden land, eating wild animals in the forbidden land, eating grass roots, and even eating dead people, it would not last long.In addition, if you want to break into Jianjia Palace by force, or go down the cliff, it is a dead end.
So year after year, I just watched the vegetation in the forbidden area become more and more verdant...
However, the two feet high wall in the forbidden area can block others, but it cannot stop Gu Cijiu.He "threw" the shadow guards who were not as good at lightness, and finally put his arms around the waist of his junior brother, and entered the forbidden area from the slanted upper corner of the high wall.
The four gathered together, and Gu Cijiu led them towards one direction with a clear purpose.
Even in the middle of the night, the four of them still had clear ears and eyesight, and saw that there were many bones among the grass and trees on the ground, the roots of the grass and trees pierced into the dark eye sockets of the skeletons, and the leaves were dyed with phosphorous powder, and they swelled at night. With a faint light, it is like some legendary monster swallowing human flesh and blood.Where is this place a forbidden area, it is clearly a mass grave.
Gu Cijiu pushed aside a piece of vine, and the front suddenly opened... It's not bright, it's just a bit more spacious, it's a well-kept camp, with a small bonfire burning in the middle, a group of ragged men gathered around the bonfire, Lying on both sides decadently.
There were rarely only three people on one side, and they were obviously the same class as Gu Cijiu. There should have been four of them, but one of them committed suicide immediately after entering the forbidden area.
There are many more people on the other side, there are more than 20 people, even if not all of them have black scarves, but they are obviously shadow guards, the shadow guards of the previous palace master.
Shadow guards have qualified candidates every year.The difference is the number of people. When there are many, there can be more than 20 people in one session, and when there are few, there are none.
The previous palace lord had been in office for ten years. Although the shadow guards suffered losses due to various missions, or they automatically retired when they reached the age limit, there were still quite a few shadow guards. It turned out that there were more than 50 shadow guards who followed his coffin into the forbidden area. 60 people, but now there are less than half left.
Those who disappeared, all committed suicide.They live all their lives for their masters. Without their masters, the meaning of living is gone, so it is better to follow their masters as before.What's more... Even if he survives, he can live for half a month at most, so why wait until the poison in his body breaks out and life is worse than death?
Those who survived now are the shadow guards who have passed the assessment of the Shadow Palace, but are not very "qualified" until now. They want to live. Without their master, only they want to live, and those who are struggling can live for a moment It's a moment, even though...they have never felt the real joy of life in this life.
"The two bags of steamed buns and two bottles of antidote that were sent in every other month before were also sent by me. I am the current owner of the Jianjia Palace." Gu Cijiu stood there, put down the bag of noodles, and the younger brothers and the others also sent The food I brought was placed around Gu Cijiu's noodle bag, "Want to follow me?"
He looked at those shadow guards and asked, he thought that seven or eight people could be taken away at most today, but who knew, more than ten shadow guards stood up clattering, and these people stood up and knelt on the ground, holding their daggers with both hands First of all, this is a dagger, which means respecting Gu Cijiu.
"Okay, get up now." Gu Cijiu nodded, and the shadow guards fought neatly, and they were listed behind Gu Cijiu.Gu Cijiu turned his attention to the small group of people who were still sitting on the ground. He thought he could try to fool everyone...sincerely persuaded, "I am indeed employing people at this time, everyone, come back with me, I will not treat you harshly."
"Thank you, Palace Master, for your love, but the servants are useless and cannot serve Palace Master anymore."
"May I take your pulse?" Gu Cijiu leaned over.
These people stretched out their arms calmly. It turned out that the forbidden area was cold and damp, and the shadow guards who had been forced to grow had some bone problems. An ordinary person would probably be rolling all over the floor in pain.
"The manpower I want is not for you to kill people or watch the night for me, but for you to do things. I will also treat your illnesses. Are you willing to come with me?"
These people were taken aback for a moment, they thought that Gu Cijiu had confirmed that they were useless, and it was kindness to turn around and leave.It is even possible to kill them to silence them, but I did not expect such a gentle inquiry, it is a bit like a dream.
At this time, the shadow guards had everything on their minds, but most of them were moved.They didn't think that Gu Cijiu was trying to trick them out with good words, and there was no other way to harm them.There is no need for that, most of the brothers have surrendered to the past, and their shadow guards are all upright people. Although they did not commit suicide for the former master, they will definitely not disobey the new master's order.
It was not a problem for Gu Cijiu to let the converts directly tie them up and take them away.
That's all for the sake of it, they have endured in pain until now, aren't they also greedy for work?Naturally, they were willing to go out: "I have seen the master." They were in pain all over, and their flesh and bones were sore, but they still tried their best to kneel on the ground, and their hands tried not to tremble, and they pointed the dagger at the master!
Gu Cijiu nodded, and the shadow guards who had just returned to him behind him immediately stepped forward, one by one, and pinched the companion who couldn't move freely.
"Fifteen! No! Palace Master! Palace Master, take me away too! I can do anything for you!" Seeing that they were about to leave, the young masters on the other side quit, and one of them immediately shouted He rushed towards Gu Cijiu.
"Xiao Qiqi!" When this person's martial arts were still good, Gu Cijiu couldn't let him get close, let alone now?
"Yes!" Duan Shaobo made an instant move, and removed the hands and feet of the three young masters in a split-knit technique. After he was done, he stood back and realized that something was wrong.Especially the eyes of the other shadow guards, some of them can be described as horrifying.
Bridge Bean Sacks!Eldest brother called him a god horse just now? !And he actually complied!
Forget it, Xiao Qiqi will be Xiao Qiqi, what else can I do with my senior brother?Of course it is spoiled.
"The palace lord put us here like this, we will die of thirst, starve to death, or be bitten to death by insects. Please also give us a good palm for the sake of our ten-year classmates." Qu Wuxin had already scolded that companion just now, and Gu Cijiu was already about to take them away, and wanted to leave them a way out, but he had to jump out and beg, wouldn't that be courting death?
Gu Cijiu was not afraid of them escaping from the forbidden area, but what if they held a grudge and went to the wall of the forbidden area to yell and tell all about Gu Cijiu taking away the shadow guard?Previously, Gu Cijiu still had two kindnesses, but now they are completely gone.
"Qu Wuxin! If you want to die, you die! Don't drag us!" The two were still cursing and clamoring.
Qu Wuxin had already closed her eyes, waiting to die quietly.He and Gu Cijiu are winners and losers, and Gu Cijiu is a real talent and learner, and he won't lose if he loses.But on the day of defeat, he deserved to die, his martial arts were abolished, his foundation was damaged, and he was completely waiting for death, which was not what he wanted.But he is not a coward who is willing to end his life by himself, so it's fine to just go now.
Gu Ci responded to him for a long time, and he slapped him over. The other person seemed to be safe, but in fact he had already gone.He didn't care about the other two, but took the shadow guards back to the main hall, and took away all the food they brought. Anyway, these two people are dead, so there is no need to waste food.
It was a little more troublesome when crossing the fence.These shadow guards lack food and clothing, even if they are not bad at walking, they are not in good health, and the original shadow guards except Duan Shaobo were all thrown by Gu Cijiu, making it even more difficult for them to pass the fence.Gu Cijiu was straightforward, taking them two at a time, bringing them over in waves.
When they arrived at the main hall, the shadow guards already had a preliminary understanding of the palace lord. He was independent, courageous, good at martial arts, and... treated them very well.
I have never heard of any generation of palace masters who ran into the forbidden area to deliver food, drink and antidote to the former shadow guards, but he did.I have never heard of any generation of palace masters who brought people back from the forbidden area, he did.I have never heard of any palace lord who would help the shadow guard. He helped, and it seemed to be very easy, natural, and reasonable.Although it was also to bring them back to work for him, but...they were willing to sacrifice their lives!
Gu Cijiu's other seven shadow guards all knew what Gu Cijiu was doing, and they walked forward, and the seven of them scattered around the main hall, in case the servants in the hall noticed, or if someone came suddenly, they could delay for a while .Fortunately, nothing happened until Gu Cijiu came back, but he still surprised the seven shadow guards with so many people.
But... my own shadow guards, plus the 23 shadow guards brought back, a total of 33 people, once they entered the main hall, only Gu Cijiu and the younger brother were left, oh, yes, there was also the younger brother The ingredients at the feet, the two live chickens fell on the ground and kept kicking their legs.As agreed, there are six other people with handicapped legs and feet?
"Come out five!"
brush! !Whoosh!Whoosh!
→_→With an order, seven of them came out at the same time, and the two that were left withdrew.Actually... a little fun?
"Two to boil water, all four stoves will be on fire, and the rest will cook with me."
Duan Shaobo was ordered to build a "small" kitchen, which is only compared to the several large kitchens in Jianjia Palace. In fact, the small kitchen has four large stoves, and the pots on the stoves can make a child of two or three years old. Take a bath in it, the table for cooking in the middle is wide and large, and there are a lot of ingredients.
The new shadow guards rolled up their sleeves to see the master they just recognized, and started to meet face to face! ?
"Little Qiqi, you take someone to shred the chicken. You two, go shred the vegetable."
But after a while, Gu Cijiu and a large ball of white, fat and cute dough were gone.Helpless, no matter how good his cooking skills are, there is no way to complete the fermentation in an instant, so let's just pull the noodles.
There was old soup that had been prepared earlier, Gu Cijiu mixed the soup, grabbed a ball of noodles and started making ramen.The white and fat dough quickly turned into thin ramen noodles with countless strands in his hands.Because the noodles are so thin, they can be taken out of the pan almost by dipping them in boiling hot soup.
