Chapter 73 New Errand (Update 1)
Chen Nanzhu felt that what Wu Chen said was very reasonable. If others could see it, they might not be able to see it, which would naturally arouse suspicion. She nodded seriously, and Wu Chen looked at her again. Big head.
Datou was a little sleepy. He squinted his eyes and said, "I know. I saw black smoke coming out of the mural and changing into various shapes. It's the same as the one in the mural. The treasure is in a brother's place. What I found was mined by my brothers. I only lost some gravel.”
Wu Chen looked at Datou who was extremely sleepy and said with a smile: "Go to sleep, Aunt Ping, and go back to rest. We may have to rush back to Kyoto in the next two days. You go back and think about what to do with your parents. I'll just do it tomorrow."
Chen Nanzhu nodded heavily and walked out of the room.
He lay down on the bed and started snoring.
Wu Chen shook his head. After cleaning himself, he was about to blow out the candles and go to bed when the little eunuch knocked on the door.
......
Looking at how busy he is right now, Chen Zhong doesn't even have time to sleep. He can still think of Wu Chen. Wu Chen doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.
Chen Zhong had been busy all day and all night, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face. He sat on the couch, pointed to the chair in front of the couch with a smile and said, "Sit down."
Wu Chen didn't ask anything, just sat on the chair and waited for Chen Zhong to assign errands.
"I heard that you helped Song Yu a lot today?" Chen Zhong asked kindly.
“It’s not a big deal, I did it easily.”
Chen Zhong didn’t ask in detail and said: “The underground treasures really opened my eyes. It’s no wonder that Qi Xuan was stuck in his ways back then. If he is willing to fight again, he will lose his fighting spirit by guarding these wealth."
Wu Chen listened and said nothing.
"Did you break through the underground passage?"
"Yes."
"I went down and took a look. Your strength is really amazing."
" It's not my own strength."
"Oh? Big head is also powerful?" Chen Zhong asked with bright eyes.
Wu Chen understood in his heart how important Chen Nanzhu's reminder was.
"The big head is not good. He can only chip away some stone chips when he chisels. Although I am strong, it is all the strength given by those ghosts in the past."
Wu Chen said it seriously, Chen Zhong He was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
Wu Chen said very seriously: "But they are all gone. When they reach the place where they should go, I have to continue to help some ghosts leave in order to maintain this strength."
< br>"Where will people go after they die?" Chen Zhong looked at the candlelight and asked.
"I don't know, if there is a light beam to pick you up, no matter whether you are good or bad in life, you have to go. As for where the light beam takes you, I don't know if you will be punished for the wrong things you have done in this life."
"Have you never seen hell?" Chen Zhong turned to ask Wu Chen.
Wu Chen shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
Chen Zhong sighed softly, waved his hand and said: "Since you are alive, you should first figure out the things about living, treasure Basically everything has been done, and two batches have been sent away. Because there are really too many, I have to mobilize troops. The officials have a long-term view and gave me the right to mobilize troops early. "
Chen Zhong straightened his waist as he spoke.
Wu Chen knew that this was a kind of pride.
“Our Imperial City Division has a new army that is different from the Imperial Palace Division and the Forbidden Army Guards. There are nearly ten thousand people. The officials trust me and I will command and guard the Imperial City. However, the water from far away cannot quench the thirst of the near. I We can only borrow troops from the border. , but the Northern Barbarians are eyeing these treasures. They have been searching for these treasures for a hundred years, but I got there first. The old Khan of the Northern Barbarians died because of this, and the few princes did not cause chaos, which is beyond my expectation. " < br>
“Are they still thinking about these treasures?”
“Yes, they have learned to share the same hatred with the enemy.” Chen Zhong said with a smile: “In addition to a large number of gold and silver antiques, calligraphy and paintings, there are also a large number of treasures. Weapons, although After a hundred years, the weapons are still sharp. This is what the Northern Barbarians really want!"
"The Northern Barbarians do not produce iron ore, so the only way to have enough weapons is to get these treasures. ”
Chen Zhong looked at Wu Chen in surprise. He didn't expect Wu Chen to know this.
Wu Chen smiled bitterly and said:
"Si Zun doesn't have to look at me like this. No matter what I say, Si Zun should not be surprised. A ghost can even be seen. It’s not surprising for those who arrive to know something else. The Northern Barbarian cavalry are brave because they have been on horseback for a long time. If they have enough weapons, wouldn’t they be invincible? Invincible? We mainly focus on farming, and raising horses is also for transporting goods. It is true that soldiers learn to be good at riding and shooting to defend against enemies. We cannot compare with them."
"That's the reason. These treasures, especially the weapons, must not get into their hands!"
"Sir Zun wants me to escort the weapons back to Kyoto?" Wu Chen asked very calmly.
Chen Zhong nodded and said:
"I don't worry about others! The weapon is something that the Northern Barbarians have spent hundreds of years trying to get. There must be many dangers along the way. Xu Da, a sophomore in high school, is still injured, and Gu You still has to escort the gold and silver. ...The border officials can transfer them now. There are not many soldiers, and the Northern Barbarians may make a final showdown at any time. I have informed the officials that the new army of 5,000 people is coming from Kyoto. You will join the new army in Hezhou at the latest..."
"Where is Hezhou?" Wu Chen really didn't know.
"It will take about five days to travel day and night from Anping County. The New Army is rushing from Kyoto and is traveling day and night. It may take six or seven days to reach Hezhou. The New Army set off yesterday. I think it will arrive in five days. Hezhou."
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sir, how many carts and weapons do you want me to set off immediately?"
"The night is long and there are many dreams!"
"Then..."
"Both Datou and Nanzhu are going with you, so you won't have to worry about it."
"Yes, but I I don’t know anyone!”
“You don’t need to recognize anyone, this is the token of the Imperial City Division, he As long as you recognize the token, you will be escorting the weapons with three generals. You don’t have to look at it. If you don’t obey the order, you can be killed at any time. I will protect you. Remember, our emperor The city chief only listens to the officials. As long as the officials are in their hearts, there is no one who cannot be killed! ”
Wu Chen lowered his head and thought for a while. He knew that Chen Zhong was afraid of encountering something strange on the way. Wu Chen tried his best to convince the soldiers, but if it affected the escort, he would lose more than he gained. And these few days After getting along with each other for a day, Chen Zhong knew that Wu Chenji cherished the lives of others and knew that he would not mess around, so he gave the power of life and death to him first.
Wu Chen thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Can I bring the sophomore and Xu Da with me?"
Chen Zhong was puzzled: "They are like useless people now, you take them with you?" What's the use?"
"They are here for my injury, so I feel at ease."
Chen Zhong nodded and said:
"You don't have to worry about how to go on the road or where to go. Someone will arrange it. You are extremely smart. If someone comes to attack, you must protect the carriage and don't let the intruder succeed! The first and second, you can't Unauthorized inspection of items in the vehicle "The fewer people who know about the treasure, the better. If the military sees it, they won't have to discuss it privately. This is not what the officials want to see."
Wu Chen nodded, he didn't care about the officials. How to divide the spoils after getting the treasure. (End of this chapter)
