Chapter 391 There is a monster!
After midnight.
Gu Chan and the others had almost finished drinking, and they all staggered back to their rooms to sleep.
Gu Chan had drunk a lot, so Ma Zheng helped her back to a room in the backyard.
Coming to the bed, Ma Zheng helped her lie down on the bed, then reached out to help her untie her belt.
Gu Chan suddenly came to her senses, and suddenly reached out 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. It will be very hot if you sleep without taking off your clothes, 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 can do it myself."
"Oh!" Ma Zheng responded speechlessly.
Then he turned and left, closing the door carefully.
After Gu Chan was sure that he had left, she breathed a sigh of relief, slowly took off her clothes, and lay down on the bed holding the little white fox, and fell asleep.
The little white fox was puzzled and asked, "Master, why are you so alert when a boy touches you?"
"You're the only one who talks too much nonsense. Go to bed quickly." Gu Chan scolded angrily.
The little white fox closed its mouth with a look of grievance, curled up in her arms and fell asleep.
About half an hour later.
"Tattoo..."
Suddenly, there were slight tapping sounds on the roof.
The little white fox was awakened instantly, and hurriedly whispered in Gu Chan's ear, "Master, there is someone on the roof."
"I know. I'm awake now. Don't worry about them. I have my own way to deal with them." Gu Chan said nonchalantly.
After saying that, she pretended to continue sleeping, then she moved her mind and secretly activated her illusion body technique.
Streams of white gas slowly emerged from her palms and soon filled the entire room.
At this moment, the rear window was suddenly pried open from the outside, and two killers in night clothes rushed in from the window at lightning speed.
As the room was pitch black, they could not see the white fog that filled the surroundings. They just felt dizzy for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
So the two of them, holding long knives in their hands, slowly approached the bed.
After arriving at the bedside, the two men looked at each other, raised their long knives and prepared to chop Gu Chan to death.
"Ow..."
But at this moment, an accident happened suddenly. A horrible beast roar was heard from the bed. Then, under the extremely terrified gaze of the two killers, Gu Chan's body slowly turned into a huge white snake, which arched its body from the bed and opened its bloody mouth towards them.
At the same time, her pair of huge snake eyes were blood red, and even flashed a creepy red light in the darkness, which scared the two killers so much that their legs went limp and they screamed.
"Ah... there's a monster!"
"Run! He is a monster in disguise." Then the two of them screamed, dropped their knives in fear, rushed out of the room, jumped onto the roof and escaped.
After they escaped, Gu Chan dispersed the white mist and turned off the illusion technique.
The little white fox was lying on the bed laughing and said, "Killers! You two are really useless and stupid. You didn't even know you were in an illusion and thought you were a snake demon!"
"It seems that this King Nanxian has really lost his patience and wants to get rid of me and completely control Nancheng!" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.
Her first reaction was that these two idiots must have been sent by King Nanxian to assassinate her.
Thinking of this, she immediately said to the little white fox, "Don't sleep anymore. Follow them secretly and report to me if anything happens."
[Yes, Master.] The little white fox agreed and immediately followed.
Not long after it chased out, Cheng Hao and his four friends, as well as Ma Zheng, rushed in hurriedly and lit all the candles in the room.
Ma Zheng said worriedly, "Boss, what happened just now? Why is someone screaming?"
"Two assassins came to assassinate me, but they were scared away by the illusion I created. They thought I was a snake demon in disguise!" Gu Chan said with a laugh.
Ma Zheng breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
As long as Gu Chan is fine, he can feel completely at ease.
Cheng Hao reminded him at the right time, "Boss, in my opinion, the matter of the new county magistrate must be resolved as soon as possible. We can't delay it any longer, otherwise there will be more trouble."
"Yes! Not only is your life in danger, but it will also delay our trip to Jiangnan to raise money for relief!" Di Lin also followed suit.
After hearing this, Gu Chan finally became serious.
She had originally thought about staying for a few more days to spend some time with King Nanxian and his son, but she also admitted that what Cheng Hao and the others said was true.
She only has six months to raise the relief money. If she wastes too much time here, it will be very disadvantageous to her.
Thinking of this, Gu Chan didn't plan to play anymore, and immediately ordered the five people to sit down, and said seriously, "According to Gu Qifeng, the position of Nancheng County Magistrate must not be given to Nanxian Wang's brother-in-law, 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 someone from among the five of us to be the new county magistrate, do you?" Ma Zheng said in surprise.
Gu Chan glared at him and said unhappily, "What five people? You are just a little brat, how can you be a county magistrate? If you want to choose, you can only choose from these four. Anyway, I am now the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor, and I still hold the imperial sword in my hand. It's just a small county magistrate, and I have the right to appoint him."
"That's true. It's better for me to stay with the boss. I can't do something like being an official." Ma Zheng said with a grin.
Yuan Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, there has been no saying that women can be officials in Tiancang country since ancient times. Women can still hold some positions in the military camp, but it is probably impossible for them to be officials. And we two sisters really don't know how to be officials."
"I know this. I didn't say that I would let you two sisters be county magistrates. However, one of you two sisters has to stay to help them. As the saying goes, men and women working together makes work less tiring. I can't let Cheng Hao or Di Lin stay here alone. If something happens, they won't even have anyone to discuss with." Gu Chan said, spreading his hands.
The four of them nodded without comment.
They admitted that what Gu Chan said was right. Compared with anyone else in South City, it was obvious that the friends around them had a deeper relationship with them and were more trustworthy.
Gu Chan added, "Cheng Hao, Di Lin, you two can choose for yourselves! Whoever stays here as the county magistrate will follow me to Jiangnan to raise money for relief."
"This..." The two were speechless and began to feel troubled.
Obviously, from the beginning to the end, they had never thought of staying here to be these crappy officials. What they wanted most was to follow Gu Chan to Jiangnan to try their luck. Even if they would encounter danger later, it was still much better than staying here and engaging in intrigue with King Nanxian and his son every day.
