Chapter 207 Insights (Update 1)
After a long time, the three of them had already adapted to the darkness. Yu Shian stared at the water and asked: "Will he come out?"
"Yes. Sure, his toenails and hair haven't been cleaned yet..."
Before Wu Chen finished speaking, he heard the sound of 'Gulu' 'Gulu' coming from underwater.
"He's here." Wu Chen whispered.
Song Gu and Yu Shi'an immediately held their breath and concentrated their attention. They heard a "crash" as a huge creature stood up from the river and stepped to the shore in one step.
Yu Shian and Song Gu stared wide-eyed and were so frightened that they forgot to breathe. The guards on both sides carrying torches couldn't hold back and screamed in surprise.
Wu Chen was afraid that if this thing came up and had its throat first, he would be able to hold it and die, but Yu Shian, Song Gu and the surrounding soldiers could not be sure. The moment the giant came ashore, he was , then he flew up and rushed over.
What Wu Chen didn’t expect was that the impact was directly on the giant’s wet body. Wu Chen bounced to the ground, and the giant staggered and almost returned to the water.
Wu Chen didn't have time to think about how to untie his hair that was tied up last night. He jumped up from the ground and punched the giant. There was a difference from last night. The force of tonight's punch actually shook up the giant's long hair, and floated straight behind him along with countless water droplets, while the river behind him suddenly started to ripple.
But the similarities were still the same as yesterday. The giant just shook, and Wu Chen felt that his hand was broken.
He rolled to the side with a bared teeth, and the giant long hair followed him, slapped Wu Chen hard on the back, and then curled it up again, trying to roll Wu Chen in front of him, Wu Chen quickly shouted: "Light the torch!"
...
The torch was bright again by the river, and the water surface returned to calm.
But Yu Shian and Song Gu were not calm. They still stood motionless with their eyes wide open and their mouths open.
Wu Chen was lying motionless by the river. He had just shouted to light the torch and used all his strength to control himself from vomiting blood. Now his upper body was so painful that he dared not move.
The riverside was quiet for a moment before Yu Shian and Song Gu remembered and ran over to see Wu Chen.
"Are you in danger of your life?" Song Gu asked anxiously.
Wu Chen shook his head slightly.
Yu Shi'an said hurriedly: "I will carry you into the house first, and then see the doctor for treatment..."
"No, I can't move." Wu Chen said weakly.
At this time, Gao Er and Xu Da came back. Before they could get closer, Gao Er asked loudly: "Why did you get beaten again?"
Xu Da blamed: "We haven't found a cure yet. Why did you provoke him?"
Song Gu blamed himself: "It's my fault that Wu Chen lured him out just because I said I hadn't seen him before. , If I had known such a result, I would not have said much."
The sophomore walked closer and said, "When you came before dawn today, he was already able to stand up. You have never seen water. The monster has never seen how badly he was injured. No wonder you guys, Brother Wu, did this because he knew it would be fine.”
Wu Chen said: "If you can help it, don't tell anyone about the fact that I recovered from my injury quickly."
A few people looked at each other, and Yu Shi'an said: "This is something we can do Can you hide it? Many of the detectives in the Detective Department in the courtyard have seen you fall to the ground. Seeing that you are so active today, there are even more. Now you have fallen to the ground again... this time How long does it take to stand up? ?”
Wu Chen said: “I don’t know, I’m much stronger now than before. Alas, I also know that I can’t hide this, but I can’t hide it for a day.”
Yu Shian spread his hands and said: "I don't know anything anyway."
Song Gu said: "After the matter is over, I will go back to Hedong Road to file a case with the criminal department, and no one will ask Me.”
The second grade students and Xu Da looked at each other, and the second grade students said: "When the Secretary asks, we can only tell the truth. If others ask, we naturally don't have to answer."
Wu Chen thought about the same reason, and then changed his mind. He opened the topic and asked: "What did you two ask?"
Xu Da shook his head and said:
"I didn't ask anything. The kitchen handyman said that after dark every day, someone fills the warehouse. and cellar, we let him They identified people one by one and found out who was filling the ingredients, but these people said that they arrived at the corner door on time every day. When they arrived, they were only responsible for unloading the things on the car. As for who sent it, they didn’t know. , we asked who was in charge, and they said they were taken to Kyoto. "
The second grader said: "There is no way to deal with the gunpowder matter. How could Yuan Tianshi let these servants know about such an important matter? "
"Someone has to do the work, right? Who dug the hole in the mountain? Who carried the gunpowder? Who sent the gunpowder and where did it come from?" After Wu Chen finished speaking, he sat up.
"Okay?!" The four people asked almost in unison.
Wu Chen stood up neatly, stretched his arms, kicked his legs and said, "It's strange. After that thing hit me, I felt more refreshed after recovering."
< br>"Then call him out quickly and beat you up again." The sophomore said seriously.
“That’s not necessary!” Wu Chen waved his hands quickly: “What you just said meant that everyone who knew about it was taken away by Gu You?”
"I don't know if they are trying to shirk or if they really don't know." Xu Da said.
"Let me tell you, we have to wait for the decree from Kyoto anyway. If we don't get the decree, we can't act rashly. It's better to be executed and interrogated one by one from tomorrow..."
Song Gu shook his head. Interrupting the second grader, he said:
“What we want to know now is where are the books hidden? Where is the gunpowder buried? These are not things that the servants can know. Instead of spending time interrogating useless people, it is better to find out if anyone around Yuan Tianshi has stayed."
"They will not hide if they stay. Among the servants." Wu Chen looked at Song Gu: "It should be hidden in the hut."
Song Gu nodded and said: "The servants are often familiar with each other, or they are familiar with each other. Once someone identifies them, they are easily exposed. But for the people in the hut, they don't recognize anyone except the people in their own house."
Yu Shian frowned and asked: "Is it impossible? Did everyone really follow Gu You?"
"They have We had time to prepare, so it was impossible not to leave behind a backup plan. We arrived four days after Longgu Mountain was sealed off. Even if Yuan Tianshi didn’t expect that Su Chang would betray him, he would have made two preparations. I know that he, like Su Chang, had done the last resort. Bad plan, but I don’t believe it will happen..."
Wu Chen said, turning his head and looking to the right in the distance.
At this time, there were torches all around the pond, especially by the river where Wu Chen and the others were standing. There were several Luo soldiers holding torches on both sides, but the direction Wu Chen was looking at was in the direction of the Luo soldiers. Mid-air behind him.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wu Chen suddenly asked.
The sophomores and Xu naturally fought side by side. Song Gu and Yu Shian also followed suit, leaning closely together. The four of them had a tacit understanding without making a sound. (End of this chapter)
