Chapter 391 There is a monster!
After midnight.
Gu Chan and the others were almost done drinking, and they all went back to their rooms to sleep.
Gu Chan was also a little drunk, so she was directly helped back to a small room in the backyard by Ma Zheng.
Arrived at the bedside, Ma Zheng helped her lie down on the bed, and then reached out to help her take off her belt.
Gu Chan woke up instantly, stretched out her hand to hold Ma Zheng's hand and said, "What are you doing?"
"Boss, let me help you take off your clothes! You are so drunk, why don't you take off your clothes to sleep?" It will be very hot and you won't be able to sleep well," Ma Zheng said with concern.
Gu Chan brushed his hand away and said, "No need, go back to your room and sleep! I'll do it myself."
"Oh!" Ma Zheng responded speechlessly.
Then he turned around and left, carefully closing the door.
After Gu Chan made sure he was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief, slowly took off her clothes, hugged the little white fox and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.
The little white fox said doubtfully, [Master, why are you so alert when a boy touches you? 】
“You’re the only one who talks nonsense, so go to bed quickly.” Gu Chan scolded angrily.
The little white fox closed his mouth with a look of grievance, shrank into her arms and fell asleep.
About half an hour later.
"Tap-tat-tat..."
Suddenly there was a slight tapping sound on the roof.
The little white fox was awakened instantly and hurriedly said in Gu Chan’s ear, [Master, there is someone on the roof. 】
"I know, I'm already awake, don't worry about them, I have my own way to deal with them." Gu Chan said without caring.
After saying that, she pretended to continue sleeping, and then with a thought, she secretly activated her phantom body technique.
Waves of white air slowly came out from her palms, and soon filled the entire room.
At this moment, the back window was suddenly pried open from the outside, and two killers in night clothes flew in from the window with lightning speed.
Because the room was pitch dark, they couldn't see the white fog surrounding them at all. They just felt dizzy for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.
So the two of them held long knives in their hands and slowly approached the bed.
After arriving at the bedside, the two looked at each other, raised their long knives and prepared to chop Gu Chan to death.
"Ouch..."
But at this moment, an accident occurred. A terrifying beast roar suddenly sounded from the bed. Then, under the extremely frightened eyes of the two killers, Gu Chan's body suddenly It slowly transformed into a huge white snake, arched its body from the bed, and opened its bloody mouth towards them.
At the same time, her huge snake eyes were even more blood-red, even shining with a penetrating red light in the dark, frightening the two killers to the point where their legs went weak and they screamed.
"Ah... there is a monster!"
"Run! He is a monster." Then the two of them screamed like this, so scared that they dropped their knives, so fast He rushed out of the room, jumped on the roof and fled.
After they escaped, Gu Chan dispersed the white mist and turned off the phantom body technique.
The little white fox was lying on the bed and laughed loudly and said, [There is also a killer! What a useless fool. They didn't even know they were under the illusion. They thought you were a snake demon, Master! 】
“This Nanxian King seems to have lost his temper. He wants to finish me off and take full control of Nancheng!” Gu Chan said with a strange smile.
Her first reaction was that these two fools must have been sent by King Nan Xian to assassinate her.
Thinking like this, she immediately said to the little white fox, "Don't sleep anymore. Follow them secretly. Come back and report to me if you find anything."
[Yes, Master. 】The little white fox agreed and immediately chased after him.
Not long after it chased him out, Cheng Hao, four people and Ma Zheng ran in hurriedly and lit all the candles in the room.
Ma Zheng said worriedly, "Boss, what just happened? Why did someone scream?"
"Two killers came to assassinate me, and they were scared away by the illusion I created. They thought I was a snake demon!" Gu Chan said with a smile.
Ma Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Gu Chan is fine, he can completely feel at ease.
Cheng Hao reminded him at the right time, "Shopkeeper, in my opinion, the matter of the new county magistrate must be resolved as soon as possible. We cannot delay it any longer to avoid long nights and dreams."
"Yes." Ah! If you don't tell me that your life is in danger, it will delay our trip to Jiangnan to raise relief funds!" Di Lin also shouted.
Hearing this, Gu Chan finally became serious.
She originally thought about staying a few more days to play with Prince Nanxian and his son, but she also admitted that what Cheng Hao and Cheng Hao said was true.
Right now, she only has six months to raise relief funds. If she wastes too much time here, it will be very detrimental to her.
Thinking like this, Gu Chan didn't want to play anymore, and immediately ordered the five people to sit down, and said seriously, "According to Gu Qifeng, the position of the Grand Master of Nancheng County must not be given to Nan The brother-in-law of Xian Wang, and I don’t know who is more reliable here, so I can only choose from my own people.”
“Ah? Boss, you don’t want to choose from us. Can you choose one of the five to be the new county magistrate?" Ma Zheng said in surprise.
Gu Chan glared at him and said angrily, "What five people, you are just a little brat, and you can still be the county magistrate. If you want to choose, you can only choose from the four of them. Anyway, I am the emperor now." The professed Imperial Envoy still holds the Shangfang Sword in his hand. He is just a small county magistrate, and I have the right to appoint him."
"That's true. I'd better stay with the boss. I can't do such a thing as an official." Ma Zheng said with a smile.
Yuan Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Shopkeeper, there has been no such thing as a woman serving as an official in Tiancang Kingdom since ancient times. Women can still hold some positions in the military camp, but becoming an official is probably impossible, and we sisters The two of them really don’t know how to be officials.”
“I know that. I didn’t say that I would let you two sisters become county magistrates, but one of you two sisters must stay to help them. That's right. As the saying goes, men and women can work together without getting tired. I can't let Cheng Hao or Di Lin stay here alone. If something happens, they won't even have a confidant to discuss it with." Gu Chan spread his hands. explain.
The four nodded noncommittally.
They admitted that Gu Chan was right. Compared with anyone else in Nancheng, the friends around them obviously had deeper friendships and were more trustworthy.
Gu Chan added, "Cheng Hao, Di Lin, you two make your own choice! Whoever stays here as the county magistrate, and whoever follows me to the south of the Yangtze River to raise relief money."
"This..." The two of them Speechless, everyone started to feel embarrassed.
Obviously, from beginning to end, they had never thought about staying here and becoming such poor officials. What they wanted most was to follow Gu Chan to the south of the Yangtze River, even if they would encounter danger later. , it is much better than being here every day with Prince Nanxian and his son, scheming and scheming.
