Chapter 16 Loud Noise (Second Update)
After Song Yu lectured, he turned to Wu Chen. He wanted to know what else they needed to do next. Is this intensity enough? Do I need to take the person back to the Yamen and hold him in custody for a few days? The rogue was seriously injured and it would be troublesome to take him back, but Song Yu didn't dare to say anything.
Wu Chen’s satisfied expression made Song Yu breathe a sigh of relief. This job was not difficult.
The government officials persuaded the neighbors to disperse, and Wu Chen said goodbye to the woman. The woman did not say a word to Wu Chen from beginning to end. It was not that she did not want to say it, but that she did not know what to say and could only sob.
……
The group of people got on their horses and came to the mountainside where Gu You had taken Wu Chen before. Unexpectedly, Gu You and his men were waiting there.
Wu Chen thanked Song Yu first and then said goodbye. Song Yu led all the government servants and left quickly. He was afraid of being stopped and went up the mountain together, and he didn't want to go.
Gu You glanced at Xu Da and said: "You are injured, don't go up, wait here."
Wu Chen, who was waving at the horse's butt, turned around and said: " I won’t go up either. You just follow the same method as yesterday and look for the crack.”
Gu You’s face sank and he asked, “If it’s still in the same place, do you still need to come?”
>
Wu Chen smiled and said, "It wasn't there before, but now that I'm here, it's there."
Gu You subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, as if he was about to draw his sword and stab Wu at the next moment. Chen, but he still held back: "Listen carefully, if I go up and don't find it, I can take your life without going back to report to the Master!"
Wu Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation. .
Gu You turned around and left.
Xu Da looked at Gu You's figure, sighed, turned around and asked Wu Chen: "Why are you so angry with him?"
"He has no brain." Wu Chen said, looking around, found a big rock, sat on it, and Big Tou also sat next to it.
Xu Da covered the wound, sat under a tree, and said: "Being an errand is not an official, so why should you have a brain."
"What you said is not right. Being an official has Having brains is to keep your official position, and having brains as a sergeant is to save your life, which one is more important?" Wu Chen asked.
Xu Da shook his head and said: "You have never been a errand, so you don't know the rules. We can't help ourselves."
"This mountain col only brings people here. It can be seen that his The official position is above you, but the people he brought are all dead. Although this is the order of the Secretary, the evil people Or did Gu You do it? Did he use his brain to think of a solution? Or did he persuade Si Zun not to worry about other people's lives? When Gu You saw you guys in danger, he didn’t know how to save yourself. Do you think it was out of your control?”
Xu Da sighed.
Wu Chen said again:
“This mountain pass must be extremely important, and that’s why Sizun would come to Anping County in person. The Ghost Mandrill Gang hides in the rivers and lakes and never makes trouble, but this time it seems that they are all in power. If you don't want to go out, you don't want to Why?"
"What's the point? This is not something we should really worry about."
"Save your life! If you think more about it, you won't think you are the last one! ”
"What do you mean?" Xu Da sat up straight and asked nervously.
Wu Chen looked up at the sun in the sky, it was dazzling!
"Is there anyone in this world who dares to go against you?" Wu Chen rubbed his eyes and looked at Xu Dawen.
Xu Da thought for a while and shook his head.
"In this case, if the Ghost Mandrill Gang doesn't have some real skills, I'm afraid they won't easily entangle with you. This shows how tempting the things in the mountain col are! But no matter how tempting they are, they can only take them if they don't have the ability to do so. Just think about it, why do you think a gang that has been around for hundreds of years is so persistent?”
"How did I know!" Xu Da spread his hands.
Wu Chen frowned and looked around and asked: "Don't you think it's too quiet? Yesterday, Sizun mobilized troops to seal the mountain. Where did the troops come from? Why did they arrive so quickly? The Ghost Mandrill Gang was there again yesterday Where did so many people come from? In the battle yesterday, were all the members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang killed? Not necessarily, but why is it like this today? "Quiet?"
"The soldiers have sealed this Beishan..."
Wu Chen waved his hand to interrupt Xu Da and said, "You should take it seriously if you lie to your own people!" How many people do you need to seal a big place?"
"What do you mean..."
"Both sides are swaying people, no, they are just deploying troops. There is not much time left for you."
"I don't understand." Xu Da shook his head.
Wu Chen sighed and said: "As long as the Secretary can understand, there must be someone who understands. Just looking at yesterday's layout, the Secretary should have thought of it, so there is no need to worry, just Gu You...forget it, It’s useless to talk.”
Wu Chen turned his head and looked at the length of the big stone, then simply lay down on it and basked in the sun.
Da Tou sat aside and asked in a low voice: "Are you hungry? I brought some bread."
Wu Chen rested his arm on his head and said, "You can eat, I'm not hungry."
Tou turned his back and secretly started stuffing cakes into his mouth.
Xu Da asked in confusion: "Are you really not worried about what might happen..."
"He can't find me even in the mountain col, and he doesn't dare to kill me. What should I worry about? He usually scares officials. Maybe it works, but it doesn't work for me! Just wait, even if you are looking for it! When we get there, his brain doesn’t know how to find the entrance. If he can’t find it, he has to come down and beg me to find it. What’s the use of threatening me?”
“Gu You usually! He was just following orders, Gu Zuoruo was..." Xu Da stopped talking.
Wu Chen didn't ask. He lay on the big rock and looked at the mountain in front of him, thinking that if the mountain col was still where he saw it yesterday, then his inference would be correct. What if it wasn't there?
......
I don’t know how long I waited. Wu Chen felt tired from lying down. He took Datou and Xu Da to sit under the tree, and saw a group of soldiers, about fifty or sixty. People came from a distance in neat steps, and then Wu Chen and the other three watched the soldiers go up the mountain.
When the pair of soldiers disappeared from sight, Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Da: "Your communication capabilities are very strong. No one came down the mountain to report the news? Why did these soldiers go up the mountain? ”
Xu Da understood the second half of the sentence and said: "We must have found the mountain col. I saw that the mountain col was very big yesterday. Gu You was afraid that there were few people and was worried that he would not be able to find the entrance before dark, so he sent his soldiers up the mountain. Help.”
Wu Chen turned his head and glanced at Xu Da. Such an answer was inappropriate. He couldn't ask further questions, so he said, "I just said that Gu You has no brains, right? I reminded him yesterday that there are indispensable hidden weapons agencies there. He must find out." It’s up to the people to take a look..."
"Gu Zuo has already gone to invite you." After Xu Da finished speaking, he immediately looked panicked and took Wu Chen's arm and said nervously: "You. You must not talk about this to others, otherwise..."
"Don't worry! What good does it do for me to say this? Only fools do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves. You will know after you have been in contact with me for a long time. There are some things that you don’t need to say, I can think of them, and this is why Si Zun will spare my life.”
Xu Da breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to speak easily again.
Wu Chen asked about the Imperial City Division again, and Xu Da would only say 'I don't know', 'Yeah' and 'Maybe'.
Wu Chen felt bored and was just thinking about finding a place to sleep when he heard a loud noise and the ground began to shake. Although it was only a few times, the faces of Wu Chen and the three of them were already full of fear. (End of this chapter)
