Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 187 Leaving (one more)
Song Gu said: "We must always focus on the overall situation."

Wu Chen thought for a while and then said, "You guys have received the government's orders to see if the officials mentioned the Taoist priests of Sanqing Temple or Yuan Tianshi's going to Longgu Mountain, if not..."

Wu Chen didn't continue.

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu looked at each other, and they didn't speak. They both knew in their hearts that stories about Laojie Mountain's haunting can be spread, but stories about practicing ghosts can't be spread. The only person who knows about it is Wu Chen. Yu Shi'an, Song Gu, the sophomore and Yu Shi'an's personal soldiers.

The soldiers just followed the whole way, scared half to death, not clear about the ins and outs of the whole thing, what about the others?It would be fine if Yuan Tianshi or other Taoist priests only participated in hunting ghosts, but how could there be only ghosts in Longgu Mountain?What will happen if more people know about it?
It's all in the official's mind.

Yu Shi'an persuaded:
"I don't think it's easy to find Tianshi Yuan. People from all over the world don't know where he is. I have never seen this person in so many years. Even if I found him, only officials can use him. He is not a real god. Where the officials ordered him to go, he could arrive in a blink of an eye. Maybe he couldn't be found after the matter was settled. As for the Taoist priests of Sanqing Temple, it's not that I look down on them, and it's useless to find them, so we can't judge by whether they participated Official's mind."

Several people did not speak.

The room was quiet for a while, then Wu Chen suddenly raised his head and said, "I should go."

Yu Shi'an and Song Gugang wanted to ask if the second year of high school is back?He heard hurried footsteps in the yard.

The sophomore opened the door and said:

"This time I can't be wrong. They arrived in Yuxian County first. Three carriages and more than a dozen people on horseback escorted them all the way to the southeast. The two haven't seen anyone for a few days, presumably they were taken away by them, and then they went to Liangcheng, and a farmer in Liangcheng also disappeared, but it's a bit of a long way to go..."

The sophomore in high school picked up the teapot on the table and drank a few gulps from the spout before saying:

"They arrived in Liangcheng five days ago, and they didn't dare to leave during the day. According to the time, they left after we closed the mountain."

"It's because they saw the result they wanted, so they went on the road with peace of mind." Yu Shi'an said with a sullen face.

Song Gu asked: "Then where do they stay after leaving the cave? Will there be any... monsters left there?"

Wu Chen shook his head and said:
"There shouldn't be anything left behind. Those things are treasures to them. How could they keep them so easily? There's no point in keeping them. I even think that Su Chang only wants them to bring one each, and they have spent all their time trying to keep them. In their opinion, after the five hundred soldiers were killed this time, Laojie Mountain must no longer be used... What I am more worried about is whether those books have been copied by them and brought with them, Ancient books are not as useful as Su Chang's notes."

Song Gu and Yu Shian nodded at the same time.

Wu Chen stood up and looked at the big head who had been sitting on the edge of the bed with his head down, sighed and said:

"Brother Datou, you can eat enough to stay here every day. You have to travel day and night with me. You also heard that we are several days later than them. We need to be on the horse all day. There is nothing to eat except pancakes..."

"I know, I'm just a little worried." The big head said with his head down.

Wu Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Do you think I'm... in danger this time?"

"It's hard to say." The big head raised his head and looked at Wu Chen seriously and said.

Wu Chen frowned. This time, he would not be able to get close to Yang'an County after catching up. If Datou sensed danger again, he would have to rush to remind him.

Thinking of myself lying in a pool of blood, even if I didn't die, the blood can't be regenerated after it's gone, and I can only lie weakly on the bed for the rest of my life, with no money in hand, and it would be impossible to complete the task and go back!

Wu Chen hesitated, he knew the urgency and importance of catching up immediately, but the big head's attitude made him fearful, he would not be able to stand up in the future, what a fart he would be offering!

In the past two days, Yu Shi'an had been inquiring about Wu Chen's affairs with the soldiers who followed him up the mountain, and even whispered to the sophomore in private when he found time, so he also knew the magic of the big head, and knew that on the day Wu Chen fell into an illusion, the big head rushed up the mountain without thinking about himself, like It's predictable like anything.

Seeing that Wu Chen was struggling, Yu Shi'an came up with an idea: "How about this, I'll send troops to drive the carriage with big heads to follow you. Although it's not as fast as you guys, we won't be far away. What's the point? He can't make it through for a while, but the soldiers can!"

The big head jumped up immediately, and asked: "Maybe you take some food with you in the carriage?"

Wu Chen felt that this was also a solution. If something happened, it would be too late for the soldiers to hurry up to remind him. He couldn't help but nodded, but how to ensure the safety of the big head?
The second year of high school seemed to know what Wu Chen was thinking, so he hurriedly said, "I'll pick a few well-skilled pawns to follow, and I'll have Deputy Envoy Yu's soldiers, so I think there won't be any problem."

Wu Chen took a deep breath, clasped his fists at Yu Shi'an and Song Gu, and said, "Then let's just say goodbye, there will be a time later!"

……

Wu Chen and the second grader galloped ahead, but they didn't bring one more person with them.

The big head was sitting in the carriage, escorted by more than a dozen soldiers and guards on horseback, and it didn't take long to see Wu Chen and the dust raised by the sophomore riding.

Yu Shi'an and Song Gu sent them to the gate of the city. Seeing the group walking away, Yu Shi'an said to Song Gu in a low voice, "Wu Chen doesn't know the good or bad of this trip, but if he fights with those eight people, no one else will see him..."

Yu Shi'an didn't finish speaking.

Song Gu naturally understood the meaning of Yu Shi'an's words. The reason why he asked Yu Shi'an to follow up the mountain without Wu Chen's consent before was because of this meaning. How can their two mouths convince others?

Now Wu Chen is afraid that other people will be in danger of their lives, so he only takes the sophomore. They know this is the reason, but what about those who don't know?Even with the two of them helping to speak in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell clearly.

Song Gu thought for a while and said: "I have thought about this before. At this point, none of us can shirk, so we can only bite the bullet and go on. When the official order arrives, I will catch up! We can't let him do it alone. You have to bear all sorts of suspicions about working your life!"

Yu Shi'an sighed and said, "This matter is nothing more than anything else. If I hadn't followed all the way and seen how Wu Chen reacted with my own eyes, I only knew that Wu Chen could see ghosts and was not afraid of illusions. He would have ruined Su Chang's ten years of hard work. , I will also advise the officials to kill him as soon as possible."

Song Gu stood still and stared at Yu Shi'an.

"Oh, I mean, if I didn't follow... Didn't the officials not follow?"

"No, I'll catch up now. Wu Chen must not be alone in this matter. There must be someone by his side who can explain to the officials..."
