A girl stood in front of the hotel door, looking at the Xianglong flag fluttering in the wind, and fell into deep thought...
The girl is incompatible with the people here in both appearance and dress, but her noble and elegant carriage and a bunch of blonde servants demonstrate her extremely high status in the local area.
A black dress, black hair, fair skin, and small and beautiful facial features are all small and jaspers unique to Asian talents. This dress that cleverly combines the tight waist of the West and the oriental embroidered dress is obviously expensive.
The only thing that is more abrupt is her dark blue eyes, just like the blue sea, even more like the blue sky, deep and distant...
"That's right, Miss Chuyu, I've confirmed it several times before I found this hotel. And you can look at this flag, this color combination, and the dragon's totem. This must be a product from the far east. Unfortunately... the master is gone... If the master is still there, he will definitely be able to accurately identify the source of this flag... and I... I can only send you here... Miss Chuyu..."
A white man dressed as a housekeeper took off his felt hat and placed it on his chest, lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of helplessness...
"You've done a good job, Valk, during the time when I was away, I have to rely on you to take care of my family..."
"Miss, don't worry, even if I fight for this life, I will still have to protect the property left by the master. No one outsider can get involved!!"
"No...I don't mean that..." Qiao Chuyu turned slowly, raised his hand and stroked the old man's cheek, and said word by word: "I mean, the manor and workshop can be built again if it is gone, but you and the craftsmen are my most precious wealth. You are all locals. As long as you don't resist, they should not make things difficult for you. I will come back after this turbulent period...before...be optimistic about our family...and protect yourself...the rest is not important...do you understand?"
"I...I understand..." Valk clenched his felt hat, rubbed his slightly red eyes, and urged softly: "Miss, go in quickly, it's too messy outside... it's too late... it's too late..."
"Okay..." Chu Yu looked at the old man with an anxious look on his face, smiled, then reached out to take the suitcase and walked slowly to the hotel, but at this moment, a group of soldiers turned in from the street corner, talking and laughing. Their clothes were no different from ordinary soldiers, the only difference was that they were tied with a green ribbon on their right arms.
"Stop!!! That!!! And that woman... my god!! Why is she black hair?! Is she Asian?!"
"Don't panic!! Asians... may not be the people of Liang! You must check it first!"
The leading non-commissioned officer waved his hand, and five or six soldiers with live ammunition immediately surrounded the two of them.
"Ms., please tell me your name and the name of the church so that we can check if you are the fugitive we are chasing! And..., this old man, please tell me your name and the name of the church."
Valke looked at everyone and then walked quickly to Chu Yu's side and said loudly: "Dear officer, my lady and I are just businessmen. We... shouldn't be on the list of fugitives..."
"That's not necessarily! Sir! All businessmen who have had business dealings with the House of Representatives are within our wanted range. Please tell me your names and church names! Now!"
As the chief sect said the last two words with a slight threat, several soldiers also pointed their guns at the two, as if they would be executed if they did not report their names in the next moment. Seeing this scene, Valk turned his heart and slowly touched the lining of his clothes with his right hand, where... there was a pistol that had been loaded with bullets...
"My name is Qiao Chuyu! The name of the god is John..." Chu Yu answered loudly, standing in front of the old man, raised his hand and pressed his arm that was about to pull out the gun...
"If you want to arrest me, just arrest me. He is just my housekeeper! Please let him go!"
"Qiao... Chuyu...? Is there such a name? Private?" The chief of officials turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were flipping through the roster, and the soldiers soon found this unique name in the roster.
"Have her! She is the granddaughter of Liang Yi's founder! She has had twenty years of business dealings with Jason Paro of the House of Representatives! But...but... it still says..."
"What else is it written!?"
"Report to Sergeant!! It says that her grandfather and grandmother are from Liangguo!!"
"Bang!!"
The door behind everyone was suddenly pushed open, and the strange sound scared everyone. Several Dutch soldiers instinctively pointed their guns behind them, but in the moment, they could only hear "bang! bang! bang!" few crisp sounds, and the soldiers were all knocked to the ground before they even had time to shoot, rolling and wailing bitterly...
And there were already four burly men around the Chief...
"Bold!! How dare you point your gun at my prince!! Are you dead?!"
"Tsk, please keep your voice down! They can't understand what you say..."
"Don't talk nonsense! Take their guns off first! Don't let them hurt the prince!"
"Oh! OK! Big brother!"
After a few big men chatted, they threw the chief sect like air, picked up the muskets on the ground and gathered them together...
At this time, the King of Chu also walked down the steps with his hands behind his back, went to the non-commissioned officer, and said in a deep voice: "Since she is a citizen of our Liang State, it is impossible to leave it to you. Take these soldiers away..."
"You...who are you again?? Why do you order me?!" The chief snorted and asked with courage.
"Who am I..." The King of Chu looked at the panicked chief sect, smiled contemptuously, raised his right hand and stroked the other party's military rank, and replied coldly: "Your military rank is too low... I don't deserve to know who I am... Let your general come to me! I'll wait for him here!"
"roll--!!!"
Chiguo roared suddenly, and the non-commissioned officer's legs became weak and he was so hungry that he couldn't sit on the ground...
And this sentence "get out" is one of the few Dutch words he knows how to use. As for the others, there are "fool", "idiot", and "bastard". Anyway, they are all swear words. He hasn't learned a single word... he is too lazy to learn...
Seeing the non-commissioned officers and several Dutch soldiers supporting each other and running away slowly, the King of Chu walked closer to Chu Yu and asked in a slow voice in Chinese: "Where is your home?"
Chu Yu blinked his ignorant big eyes, was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.
After all, when she was seven years old, her parents both died in an accident. No one taught her all year round, so how could she understand Chinese...
Seeing this, the King of Chu curled his lips and asked again in Dutch...
It was not until this time that Qiao Chuyu woke up like a dream, and used two words in particularly unfamiliar Chinese, and he stiffly spit out two words: "Jingzhou"
"Jingzhou?" When the King of Chu heard this place name, he smiled knowingly...
"No wonder your parents named you Chuyu... Jingchu, Jingchu, they... never forgot their roots..."
