Chapter 32 Going up the mountain again (second update)
The second year of high school looked at Wu Chen fiercely and said:
"Who told you to offend his two brothers? Si Zun asked me to take the lead this time You go! You can go to that kind of place during the day, but at night...why do you want to offend them?"< br>
Wu Chen stood up and said, "You have wronged me. It was his two brothers who offended me. Si Zun was also afraid that Gu You would do something stupid when his brain got hot. This can only mean that Si Zun knew that Gu You You have no brains.”
The sophomore was too lazy to talk to Wu Chen and turned around to go out. Wu Chen quickly followed.
When I walked out of the courtyard, I saw Xu Da driving a car waiting there, and the sophomore got into the carriage without saying anything.
Wu Chen stepped forward and asked about Xu Da's injury with concern. Xu Da was a little apologetic and said in a low voice: "I came back just in time for Gu Zuo to come back that day, so it won't be my turn to intervene in the rest of the matter. ”
Wu Chen knows What Xu Da meant was that that day in the mountains, he and Da Tou were kidnapped by members of the Ghost Mandrill Gang, and were thrown into the firewood shed after they came back. Wu Chen didn't know that Gu Zuo was back at that time, and later he could think that it was Gu Zuo. The method Zuo thought of to deal with him had nothing to do with Xu Da.
He patted Xu Da on the shoulder and said, "I know, you worked hard tonight."
Xu Da was actually a little touched.
...
The carriage was bumping in the dark night, and the second grader sat in the carriage with his sword in his arms and closed his eyes to meditate.
Wu Chen sat across from him and encouraged himself repeatedly. He could not blame anyone but Lao Hei for reaching this point! It is useless to complain, unless he knows what kind of formation is set up in the mountain col, and knows how to break the formation. First, he must send away all the ghosts in the mountain col. Then he has the ability to detect the entrance to the treasure place, and he must also have the ability to break through the formation inside. The mechanism...
Wu Chen sighed.
"Are you still sighing? It's me who should sigh!" The sophomore opened his eyes angrily and said.
"You can't get in, why are you sighing? The Ghost Mandrill Gang is very honest now. Even if there are one or two hidden in the mountain, you and Xu Da can deal with it. There are still soldiers guarding the mountain. I don't understand what you are sighing about. What's wrong with you?" Wu Chen was also angry.
The second year of high school thought about it and realized that it was indeed as Wu Chen said. It was dark and he couldn't enter the mountain col, so what was he afraid of?
The second-year high school student breathed a long sigh of relief and said forcefully: "Don't worry about whether you can get in or not. Gu You has always been doing this terrible job. If it weren't for you..."
"You really don't know what to do! Did you get close to the col last night?"
The second grader shook his head.
"Yes, it was Gu You who followed me all the time before, which shows that Si Zun trusts him the most. Now that you bring me here, does it mean that at least Si Zun also trusts you? Do you think anyone can do such an important task?"< br>
The sophomore in high school waved his hand and said:
“I’ll follow Unlike the Gu brothers, I am not thinking about the position of deputy commander. I have never thought about being the head of the Detective Department. , very good!”
“You can walk sideways in Kyoto?” Wu Chen asked tentatively.
"Almost! Who dares to provoke people from the Imperial City Division in Kyoto? First of all, we don't cause trouble, and we don't have to give face to anyone. Even if the nobles and nobles meet me and know that I am from the Detective Division, they will give me a few favors. I don’t dare to say anything else. It’s true that no one dares to bully my family in Kyoto. Alas, I often go out to Kyoto on business. I never thought that coming out this time would not only be a long way, but also difficult to do errands. I saw people dying one by one. Even though I didn’t know them, I felt uncomfortable. We had said privately that we had just touched a little bit and sent them away. So many lives have been lost. If the entrance is found one day, how many more lives may be lost?”
"Are you married?"
"Of course! Two sons and one daughter, the eldest is eight years old."
"Where are you?"
"They The two brothers are different from us. They have followed Si Zun since they were young. They are considered to be Si Zun. I don’t think he is your adopted son. It seems that Si Zun has never said that. Anyway, they are not married yet and they are almost at the age of grandfathers. I can’t figure it out and don’t have to worry about him.”
< br>"Grandpa? How old are they two?"
"Already nearly forty years old!"
Wu Chen's eyes widened, and then he thought about it carefully, and it was true that a son would be born at eighteen or nineteen, and a son would have a son at eighteen or nineteen, so he would become a grandfather in his thirties.
"Will marrying a wife and having children delay promotion?" Wu Chen asked.
"That's not clear. I seldom move around with these two brothers."
As the two chatted, the fear in Wu Chen's heart gradually eased a lot.
While talking, Xu Da stopped the car when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, and several people got off the carriage. Chen Zhong had ordered not to light torches, probably because he was afraid of attracting people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang. Fortunately, the three of them had all gone up the mountain, especially the second year of high school. Many times, it was possible to find the way even without a torch.
Wu Chen followed the high school sophomore and said as he walked: "If Gu You hadn't bumped into him randomly, we wouldn't have had to go up the mountain tonight. It's a good thing this time. The mountain col can be found at any time, but at that location, it's really... ..."
Wu Chen complained and walked towards the mountain, but he stopped mid-sentence, and his steps also stopped. The second year of high school students and Xu Da had to stop and wait for him.
Wu Chen stayed where he was, staring ahead.
It was pitch dark all around, and they couldn't see anything at all. The sophomore year of high school and Xu Da's freshman year were okay at first, but Wu Chen stood there motionless. They both knew that he was different from ordinary people, so they couldn't help but use their brains to think and think. As they stood, the two of them leaned closer to Wu Chen unconsciously.
The sophomore couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "But did you see something you shouldn't have seen?"
Wu Chen turned his head sharply, and the sophomore jumped in shock.
"Which of you two will go back and tell Si Zun immediately... Oh, forget it, I'll go back, I'm afraid you can't explain clearly."
Wu Chen turned around after saying that. Walking towards the carriage, he was grabbed by the neck by the sophomore The collar behind him: "You go back and tell me? Who went into the col? Can the two of us come out after going in?"
Wu Chen was choked by the collar and said hurriedly: "Go back together! It's a big deal. , can’t, delay! ”
The sophomore in high school let go and asked: "Can't you go in first? Why can't you wait for two hours?"
"Can't wait!" Wu Chen was a little anxious: "If Si Zun blames me for going back like this, just blame me If one person is pushed, you will see if Si Zun will punish me when the time comes."
Xu Dashi persuaded:
"We are just escorting Wu Chen, nothing else! We don't know the matter clearly. Since Wu Chen said there is something important, we naturally have no way of telling whether it is important or not. We still need the Secretary Zun to make a judgment. "
The second year of high school thought about it and said angrily: "If you are timid in battle, don't hurt the two of us, remember?"
Wu Chen asked in confusion: "How did you get into the Imperial City Detective Department? Isn't there a threshold for the Detective Department?"
Wu Chen, a sophomore in high school, didn't know what he meant. He shook his head and walked down the mountain.
......
Chen Zhong did not expect Wu Chen to leave and come back so soon. He calculated the time and found that it would be faster if he did not need to go up and down the mountain. He was afraid that Wu Chen and the others would come back tonight. He had to wait until dawn, and Chen Zhong thought about going to bed first, but before he started dreaming, the little eunuch timidly replied: "Wu Chen wants to see you."
The candlelight in the room was dim, Chen Zhong's face was gloomy, and the atmosphere was not harmonious. (End of chapter)
