Chapter 214 An old friend asks for help

Chu Tang heard clearly that the person standing outside his door was clearly a woman.

In Qingcheng, he didn't know many women. Tao Ying and Su Qingyue were relatively familiar, Shen Ya had also interacted with them, and there was also Chen Suming, whom he hadn't seen since Nancheng parted ways.

There are only four people in total, and they can be counted in one slap.

Apart from that, let alone knowing the other women, they didn’t even have a chance to talk to them.

But the woman's voice outside the house seemed strange yet familiar to him. It not only made him wonder: "I seem to have heard such a voice somewhere, who is it?"

"Boss Chu, it would be too heartless of you to just turn away an old friend who is here to visit!" The woman outside the door said again.

Chu Tang frowned, stood sideways behind the door, and said, "Girl, it's in the middle of the night to be alone with a man and a woman. It's inconvenient, so it's better not to see her."

The woman's clear voice sounded again: "Daughter of Jianghu, why do you have so many taboos?!"

Chu Tang heard that the other party seemed to be a little anxious, and he didn't dare to entangle with him casually. He couldn't help but said: "Girl, Chu is inconvenienced, so please come back. If something happens, how about coming back in the daytime?"

The woman was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her tone: "Chu Tang, now that you have great fortune and great achievements, don't you recognize your old friend?"

There was a hint of complaint in her tone.

Chu Tang was surprised, listening to the other party's words, it was as if he was really his old friend.

However, he can guarantee that if it is an acquaintance, it is impossible for him not to remember such a voice.

"Chu Tang, are you really so heartless?" The woman continued to speak.

Chu Tang was even more curious and wanted to see what happened. He sighed and said, "The girl has already mentioned this, so Chu can only meet her once."

After saying that, he turned sideways, reached out and opened the door with a creak.

The door opened, and the faint moonlight shone in.

The candlelight in the room also shot out.

It's late now, and the moonlight at night is average and not very bright.

Chu Tang turned his head slightly and looked outside, only to see a cyan figure standing under the eaves.

A woman indeed!

With just one glance, one can see that she is graceful and graceful, dressed in green clothes, standing in the moonlight like a swaying lotus.

Taking a closer look, I found that she was wearing a green scarf on her face, covering her face.

It was this outfit that made Chu Tang feel more and more familiar.

"You are..." Chu Tang seemed to have thought of something, and his mind was shaken.

The woman in green clothes had picturesque eyebrows and cupped her hands and said, "Bandou Chu, I'm going to say goodbye to Shi County. I'm in a hurry. Are you okay?"

"It's you!" Chu Tang shouted, finally recognizing the person.

Shixian County, Qingyi, woman...

Various factors brought back his memories and pointed to an incident last year - the cat demon incident!

The grudge between the cat man Chang Xiaoming and the son of a rich man named Wang Yuanwai in Shixian County led to a murder case. Chu Tang, as a police officer in Shixian County, was ordered to arrest Chang Xiaoming.

Later, Chang Xiaoming was rescued by someone - the woman in green in front of him.

And this woman in green was so brave that after rescuing Chang Xiaoming, she was unable to leave the county for a while, so she found Chu Tang's house to hide.

And Chu Tang, whether out of sympathy or because he felt that he couldn't defeat the other party and didn't dare to take risks, he swallowed his anger and took these two people in until they left of their own accord.

After looking at the woman in green for a few times, Chu Tang sighed: "Girl, you are too courageous. You dare to come to see Mr. Chu. You must know that today is different from the past. Aren't you afraid that Mr. Chu will accuse you?"

The woman in green had a faint look in her eyes and said: "Why, Captain Chu is also a bully and afraid of the strong? He was polite to the little girl that day, but today, Captain Chu has become stronger and he wants to fight and kill her?"

Chu Tang said: "After all, you killed Wang Juncheng. In Chu's opinion, you are a murderer!"

The woman in green asked, "Does Captain Chu want to arrest the little girl?"

Chu Tang frowned and said: "The girl came to the door in the middle of the night, didn't she just come to entertain Mr. Chu?"

The woman in green clothes said: "Team leader Chu, why don't you invite the little girl in for a chat?"

Chu Tang glanced at the surrounding environment, pointed to the courtyard and said: "A man and a woman alone are in the same room, which is a lot of inconvenience. Let's talk in the courtyard. There are tables and chairs over there, please!"

The woman in green clothes was startled, and when she looked back, she saw a square table five or six feet behind her, close to the fence, with four chairs under the table.

The faint moonlight shines on the tables and chairs, which makes it seem quite quiet and elegant. It is also a good place for conversation.

With a slight hum, the woman in green turned around and walked to the table and chairs first.

Chu Tang thought for a while, but still didn't dare to relax, and followed him with the magic weapon in his arms.

When the woman in green clothes arrived at the table and chairs, she did not sit down. Instead, she looked back at Chu Tang. Her eyes fell on the magic weapon in his arms. Her eyes were surprised and she said: "Is this the famous magic weapon Yitian? Can it be done? The knife can also be used as a sword by relying on the sky! With the relying on the sky sword, you can cross the sea and kill the long whale."

Chu Tang was even more surprised: "Young lady knows Chu's details very clearly!"

The woman in green didn't take it seriously at Chu Tang's sarcastic words, and said: "The magic weapon never leaves his hand. Leader Chu is worried about this little girl."

Chu Tang chuckled: "If the girl were in Chu's position, would you feel relieved?"

In the middle of the night, a woman knocked on a man's door. Unexpectedly, she thought it was a fairy tale!

Even normal people have to be careful, okay?

Not to mention the always cautious Chu Tang.

The woman in green smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Captain Chu. The little girl is only a four-level cultivator. Let alone the famous flying fairy in the world, the little girl can't even compare to a finger of Captain Chu."

Chu Tang shook his head and said, "Girl, why should you belittle yourself?"

The ancient hero once said that when traveling in the world, there are three types of people that you must be wary of again and again: women, children, and monks.

As the saying goes, one would not dare to go to Liangshan without three points and three points. How could such a strange person dare to walk outside without some ability?

The woman in green sighed softly and said: "Captain Chu, don't worry. In fact, the little girl came here to ask for help from Commander Chu."

"Help?" Chu Tang was greatly surprised.

"It's a long story."

"Haha, the girl has a story, but it's a pity that Chu doesn't have any wine."

The woman in green: "..."

She said she didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.

Chu Tang hurriedly said: "Girl, you may not know Chu very well. What Chu is most afraid of is trouble."

The implication is that she may be a big trouble now.

The woman in Tsing Yi heard the accident. Although she was aggrieved, she did not dare to show up. She could only look at Chu Tang with a faint look, and said sadly: "Boss Chu, except for you, I really can't think of anything else that I can do in Qingcheng." Who can I ask for help?"

Chu Tang had no expression on his face, asked the other party to sit down, and said, "Speak slowly and listen."

The woman in Tsing Yi was very excited and once again raised her hand and said, "Let me formally meet you, my little girl Zhao Ziyu. Her tutor is Zhao Rui, the master of the Shiben Opera Troupe."

"The theater troupe?" Chu Tang was stunned for a moment.

The woman in green, Zhao Ziyu, nodded and said, "Coming out of the lower reaches of the world made Leader Chu laugh."

Chu Tang laughed and said: "The theater troupe is a low-class one, so Chu, the government servant, is not much better!"

Zhao Ziyu said hurriedly: "Forgive me, Captain Chu, but the little lady never meant to make fun of you."

Chu Tang waved his hand, not taking it seriously, and said: "It's just a joke, girl, don't be nervous."

It's really just a joke.

Although this world is also divided into three religions and nine streams, there is absolutely no clear distinction between high and low. This is why the world respects martial arts and regards martial arts as king.

In the Three Religions and Nine Streams, a thief, a pawn, an actor, or even a prostitute, once he has practiced martial arts superbly and achieved a state that others can only envy, he cannot be judged by his birthplace.

Force is one's greatest capital and the true way to live in the world!

Now in Qingcheng, who dares to look down on Chu Tang just because he is just a small government servant?

Before you see it, many aristocratic families and high-ranking families have sent him invitations, inviting him to visit.

But Chu Tang didn't give any face and refused everything.

Where does the confidence come from?

Without him, force ear!

A year ago, Chu Tang, who had not yet reached the Fourth Realm, would not have dared to look down on the woman in Tsing Yi just because she was from a theater troupe, let alone act presumptuously in front of her.

He was also afraid that if the other party was unhappy, he would just beat him to death!

What Chu Tang is curious about now is that this woman definitely doesn't look twenty years old. She was born in a theater troupe, but she has the four realms of cultivation. This shows that her master is extraordinary.

A theater troupe?

Zhao Rui?

Chu Tang said he had never heard of it.

However, there are thousands of troupes in the world, and it is impossible for him to remember the names of all of them.

There are many people in Dayao's theater troupe who are really capable!

This Zhao Rui is obviously a person of great ability - look at his apprentice Zhao Ziyu, who has cultivated the fourth realm at a young age; and the obviously stupid cat man Chang Xiaoming, who also trained him to the second realm. In addition to his cultivation, he also developed an excellent Qinggong body technique!

Chu Tang couldn't figure out why Zhao Ziyu came to him in the middle of the night to ask for help when he left his master alone.

"Teacher Chu, my little lady is here to ask you to save my master!" Zhao Ziyu's words shocked Chu Tang.

Just now, he was thinking that the troupe leader was an expert, but would he need someone to save him in the blink of an eye?

Seeing the anxious look on the woman in green, Chu Tang asked her to sit down and said, "Speak slowly, we must let Chu understand what is going on."

Zhao Ziyu did not sit down, but took a deep breath, and then slowly unfolded everything going on——

It turns out that Zhao Rui is not from Liangzhou, but from Jingzhou next door.

He possesses the perfect cultivation level of the Five Realms. He has a theater troupe under him, which takes in twenty or thirty people with various special circumstances.

They often travel around the counties and counties in Jingliang and Liangzhou, acting for wealthy families to make a living.

It is said to be a way of making a living, but in fact it is also practice.

The so-called "Shiben Opera Troupe" means that Zhao Rui has a skill that is said to be based on nature, and he can learn powerful martial arts from all things in nature.

Take Chang Xiaoming as an example. Although he is silly from time to time, he likes cats, is close to them, and is very familiar with their habits and movements.

With the help of this set of kung fu, he realized a set of cat skills, which allowed him to move silently like a cat and attack others like a cat.

All these are not enough.

This is also the origin of their troupe's name "Shiben".

When Chu Tang heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and suddenly remembered what was said in the Tao Te Ching: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

Once you practice it, you will be able to understand the powerful martial arts from nature. This is an extremely powerful skill no matter how you look at it.

In other words, this skill has great potential, and if you think about it well, you might be able to advance all the way.

For example, Tao Ying's Haoran Yi Qigong, with a little Haoran Qi in your heart, you can understand life through it, and you will always be enlightened and always new, and there is almost no end.

"Is it because of this skill that the troupe leader was targeted?" Chu Tang couldn't help but wonder.

However, Zhao Ziyu soon gave up this idea, proving that his guess was wrong.

According to Zhao Ziyu's words, their troupe arrived in Qingcheng three days ago and were invited to perform at Nanqinghou's mansion to celebrate the birthday of Nanqinghou's crown prince.

The thing happened to Wang Haochen, the eldest son of Nanqinghou!

He fell in love with Zhao Ziyu who was performing on stage!

At that time, Zhao Ziyu went up and sang a scene as a Hua Dan.

With powdered lips, her figure was graceful and charming, which immediately ignited the desire in the heart of the crown prince, Wang Haochen, who wanted to take her as his concubine.

Although Zhao Ziyu was born in a theater troupe, their theater troupe is not an ordinary theater troupe, and she is not an ordinary actor. How could she, who has ambitions in the world, be willing to be a canary in a noble family's boudoir?

She decisively refused.

But this Nanqinghou Crown Prince is not the kind of reasonable person. He will be tough when he sees that someone is too soft.

He recruited a group of men who were highly skilled in martial arts and surrounded the troupe, trying to force the concubines into being taken in.

Zhao Rui is also a stubborn person, and he resists the prince of the Hou clan for his apprentice.

Wang Haochen was even less polite to him and took action directly.

There are masters of the Sixth Realm in Nanqinghou Mansion. Zhao Ruikong, who is old but not very talented, has magical skills. With the cultivation of the Fifth Realm, he is really no match for everyone in the Hou family, and he was quickly injured.

He was no match for him, and the people in the troupe were no match for him. They were either dead or injured.

In the end, it was Zhao Rui who worked hard to give Zhao Ziyu a chance to escape, allowing her to escape from the Hou Mansion.

As for the people in the troupe, most of them were captured by the Hou Mansion.

This happened the day before yesterday.

Zhao Ziyu has been hiding in Qingcheng for the past two days, wandering around Nan Qinghou's mansion from time to time, trying to save people, but unfortunately his martial arts is low and he can't find a chance at all.

Now, she doesn't even know whether her master and all her brothers and sisters are alive or dead.

She had no choice but to think of Chu Tang, who had become famous in Qingcheng these days, so she came to Qi Ye, hoping to get his help.

After telling what happened, Zhao Ziyu said with anguish, "They say beauty is a disaster, but now our theater troupe has been implicated by the little girl alone. If we can't save them, the little girl won't be able to feel at ease in her life."

After hearing this, Chu Tang sighed for a long time and said, "Miss Zhao, Mr. Chu is just a small catcher in Gui County. This is Qingcheng, and Mr. Chu can't take care of these things."

Zhao Ziyu said: "Why can't you take care of it? The little girl was born in Guijun, and brother Xiao Ming is from your Shixian County. Leader Chu, tell me, if something happens to the people from Guijun outside, will they return to your yamen?" Tube?"

This is angry talk.

Chu Tang laughed angrily and said, "Miss Zhao, have you ever thought that you can save them yourself?"

"How to save?"

"As long as you agree to Nanqing Hou Shizi's request and become his concubine, then both parties will become our own people. He will definitely not embarrass your master and brothers and sisters." Chu Tang said seriously.

"You..." Zhao Ziyu was shocked, his bright eyes widened, as if he didn't expect Chu Tang to say such shameless words.

"Don't you think it makes sense, Miss Zhao?" Chu Tang asked back, "As long as you are willing, you can turn conflicts into friendship and avoid fighting and killing."

Zhao Ziyu's eyes turned red and he shouted: "Chu Tang, you can look down on us actors, but please don't insult our character!"

Chu Tang was stunned.

Zhao Ziyu said angrily: "What we practice is to follow the natural martial arts, and what we need is to follow our heart, naturally. Our master has repeatedly warned us, don't give in, don't settle! We would rather break than bend!"

Chu Tang smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Zhao, you must also know that Chu has serious internal injuries and has not recovered. I want to help you, but I am really powerless. Besides, I have never met the so-called Nan Qinghou. It has nothing to do with it, so how can I help?"

Zhao Ziyu was greatly disappointed and asked: "With your current status and reputation, if you find someone with connections to ask for your invitation, you will surely be able to persuade Nanqing Hou Shizi to avoid it, right?"

Chu Tang spread his hands and said: "The so-called favor and face, if someone gives it to you, it's just a compliment; if someone doesn't give it, there's nothing you can do about it."

Zhao Ziyu sneered: "Okay! I understand! You are just afraid of Nan Qinghou's power and don't dare to speak out! I'm just being sentimental and came to the wrong place! We will see you again! Farewell!"

After saying that, under Chu Tang's surprised gaze, she performed Qing Kung Fu, jumped up a few times, left the yard angrily, and disappeared into the night.

He comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry, it is this person who stops.

Chu Tang stared at the vast night for a while, then finally spread his hands, looked at the magic weapon in his hands, and sighed: "This woman is so hot-tempered! I didn't even say anything before she ran away in anger. You don’t even have the appearance of begging for help, so what are you doing!”

He knew that the boss had no habit of spoiling women!

Sighing again, Chu Tang returned to the house.

The next day.

Chu Tang went out of the courtyard for the first time in several days, found Tao Ying in the backyard of the academy, and asked her about the details of Nan Qinghou.
