Chapter 371 Mr. Saturday

"Thank you." Chu Qinghuang said lightly, "I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead--"

"There are no restaurants or inns here, and there is no place to stay within fifty miles. Why don't you rest in my house for a night and continue your journey tomorrow?" Zhou Shao smiled frankly, which made people feel at ease. "There are often tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves at night. It's really dangerous for a weak woman like you to travel at night."

A weak woman?

Chu Qinghuang didn't comment on this sentence, but just rejected his proposal: "I have something important to do. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou."

As soon as the voice fell, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the distance.

Chu Qinghuang looked intently and saw dust flying from afar. There were quite a few people coming.

When the horse hooves approached, a group of people turned over and dismounted, and saluted Zhou Shao: "Sixth Master."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

What a coincidence.

"My yard is not far ahead." Zhou Shao bowed deeply, a gentleman, elegant and unparalleled, "Please give me some face."

Is he forcing her to go?

Chu Qinghuang looked at the sky and pretended to ponder: "Mr. Zhou invited me so kindly, I can't refuse his face, not to mention that Mr. Zhou has just helped me. But I am a woman and I am afraid it will be inconvenient-"

"Don't worry, my yard has many maids, and they will serve you carefully."

Chu Qinghuang's eyes flashed with a slight mockery, and she nodded slowly: "In this case, I will bother Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Shao's smile deepened: "It should be."

As he said, he took his mount from the hand of his subordinate next to him and climbed on the horse.

Chu Qinghuang calmly followed Zhou Shao into the town. This is a chaotic town at the junction of the three countries. There are not many people living there, only a few dozen families in total, most of whom... no, it should be said that all of them have a background, and ordinary people cannot survive here.

Zhou Shao's house is definitely the richest in this town. It has three entrances and three exits, and the scenery inside is very beautiful. It is well decorated at first glance. It is incompatible with the environment and atmosphere of this town. There is a different world in the courtyard.

The two rows of maids who greeted him respectfully in the courtyard were all pretty and well-trained.

Zhou Shao turned over and dismounted outside the gate, and said in a humble and polite tone: "I am sorry, may I ask your name, young lady?"

Chu Qinghuang said: "My surname is Chu."

The surname Chu in Xiqi is the surname of the royal family, but looking at all the countries in the world, the surname Chu is not uncommon. Moreover, Zhou Shao came prepared, and it is impossible for him not to know her identity. Chu Qinghuang is not interested in making up a fake surname temporarily.

"Why did Miss Chu come to this place alone?"

"Alone?" Chu Qinghuang said indifferently, "Didn't Mr. Zhou see the guards I brought with me?"

Zhou Shao smiled: "How can a guard be compared with a master?"

Chu Qinghuang said indifferently: "So, should I also ask Mr. Zhou why he stayed alone in this place of all kinds of people? Mr. Zhou doesn't look like someone who has lived here for a long time."

"Miss Chu is too kind." Zhou Shao seemed to be in a good mood, "Then according to Miss Chu, what kind of environment should I come from?"

Chu Qinghuang looked strange: "Mr. Zhou is a man who does great things." So can you not pretend to be profound in front of her?

Like an idiot.

"Miss Chu is not only born with a stunning appearance, but also has a sharp eye. She is really a wonderful woman." Zhou Shao smiled even more happily, "I am honored to meet you."

The two walked inside while talking. Chu Qinghuang heard the tone of his voice and became more and more certain that people doing business were foxes, Chu Lingchuan was, and so was Zhou Shao.

However, Zhou Shao's rank was still slightly inferior to Chu Lingchuan. At least Chu Lingchuan's words would not offend people, and he was truly as gentle as spring breeze. This Mr. Zhou was more suitable to be a eunuch in the palace, and he had a way to make the queen happy.

"Miss Chu came from the east?"

Chu Qinghuang looked at him silently and said nothing.

"Sorry." Zhou Shao smiled apologetically, "I am rude. If Miss Chu doesn't want to say it, just pretend I didn't ask."

The important officials of Xiqi knew that the Queen of Xiqi went to Dongling to borrow money in person, but they could not determine her whereabouts at all, because Chu Qinghuang took a detour to Cangyun Mountain and stayed in Cangyun Mountain for a few days.

Tracking their little princess within the sphere of influence of Cangyun Mountain was a joke for the masters of Jiuxiao Pavilion.

Therefore, few people could accurately grasp the itinerary of the Queen of Xiqi who came from Dongling. Zhou Shao had already laid secret stakes along the way, waiting for her to come, and sacrificed so many dead men, just to play a hero saving a beauty.

It doesn’t matter whether the play is realistic or not. What matters is that there is a natural opportunity to get close to Chu Qinghuang.
