Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 20 Being Calculated (Part [-])

The three of them drew out their swords to protect themselves one after another. Their swords were like swallows flying in the forest in spring, moving up and down, left and right, and turning freely. They easily blocked Wu Chen's sword, but they did not hurt Wu Chen at all.

Wu Chen felt that what he thought was right. They wanted to catch the living, so they worked even harder. The blade of the sword was rampant, and there was only a flash of light on the sword, but no moves were seen. Instead, the three of them had to take a step back carefully.

The big head couldn't understand it, and thought Wu Chen was very powerful, so he couldn't help asking loudly: "When did you learn swordsmanship, so powerful?"

Gu You said anxiously: "Can't you see that he is dying?!"

The big head turned to look at Gu You and said, "Go and dig the ground quickly, my brother is amazing!"

"you……"

"Tied! No time to mess around with him!"

The big head didn't sound right, but when he looked over again, the sword in Wu Chen's hand had fallen to the side, and was being tied down by two people on the ground, the big head rushed over immediately.

……

Gu You's head was no longer at the entrance of the cave, the three people were digging hard outside the cave entrance, and the people inside were also digging.

After Wu Chen and Da Tou were tied up, they lay down not far from the entrance of the cave.

The big head asked Wu Chen: "Why did the three of them dress up as those people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang?"

"They're free!"

Wu Chen closed his eyes. This was the second time he was humiliated after he was imprisoned in the chaifang. Although he did not really surrender, what he did was worthy of Chen Zhong, but Chen Zhong repeated it again and again. After humiliating him, Wu Chen silently made another note in his heart.

It is indeed much easier to plan the ground than to dig rocks. Soon, the inside and outside united to dig out a hole that can pass one person. The people inside did not dare to delay, and they got out one by one.

……

Back in the house again, Wu Chen and Da Tou were thrown directly into the firewood room. Da Tou complained that he didn't have dinner and was going to be hungry again, but Wu Chen didn't speak. I fell asleep, but my big head didn't know, and I was still talking to myself for a long time, until I fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Chen woke up in numbness, but the big head's snoring was still there.

Wu Chen looked at the big head, he wanted to fall asleep, but when he woke up, he had to endure the pain in his body, and he had to endure the urge to urinate and feces. There was no dignity at all.

dignity?Wu Chen laughed when he thought of this word.

The door of the firewood room was pushed open at this moment, bringing in a ray of dawn.

The person who came was delivering breakfast, he tied the knot for the two of them, and explained: "I should have untied them last night, and I should have delivered dinner, but I was too busy, so I forgot, please bear with me .”

Wu Chen sat on the ground, rubbed his sore arms and legs, and asked, "Did you forget, or did someone specifically tell you to 'forget'? Are you listening to Si Zun, or someone else?"

The man panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "I really forgot, among the people who came back yesterday, quite a few were injured, they were so busy that they didn't sleep all night, that's why..."

Wu Chen waved his hand. He was too lazy to listen. If Chen Zhong ordered someone to do this, he would not let someone explain it. As for who made them suffer all night, he couldn't think of it, and he didn't want to think about it. He was hungry. It's been a long time, it's better to hurry up and eat.

The big head woke up the moment the man pushed open the door of the firewood room. It wasn't because he woke up, but because he smelled the aroma of rice. When Wu Chen wanted to eat, the big head had already finished eating.

The man looked at the big head in surprise. He originally planned to collect it later, but now he doesn't need it, so he can just take this trip.

Wu Chen also used it very quickly. After eating, he waved to the man and lay down again.

The man gently closed the door with the bowl and chopsticks.

The big head hurriedly asked: "What do they mean?"

"I'm not happy in my heart, so I'm going to make trouble for us, so that I can feel happy in my heart."

"Why not fast? Our two brothers didn't compete with them for food."

"Yeah, why are you unhappy? Who is unhappy again? Who am I hindering? What good does it do them to humiliate us like this?"

"I didn't understand."

"It's okay, we won't be hungry anyway, because they don't know if there is any need for me in the future."

"Do you think you won't be able to find the col again today?"

Wu Chen thought for a while and said, "It should still be where it was yesterday. The mechanism is stuck, and it won't work when the time comes."

"I didn't understand."

"It's okay, just remember that from today onwards, you won't be hungry anymore!"

Wu Chen sat up suddenly as he spoke, and looked at the door with burning eyes. He was waiting, waiting for Chen Zhong to order someone to come to him!

……

But this time, after lunch, Wu Chen even felt that his deduction was wrong. It wasn't until Chen Zhong ordered someone to come to him that he felt more at ease.

He was dawdling, complaining to the visitor with pain in his hands, feet, buttocks, and his actions were quite slow. When he got in front of Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong's expression was quite gloomy.

There were also Gu You, a sophomore in high school, Xu Da, and a man who looked very similar to Gu You, but slightly rounder than Gu You.

Wu Chen understood a little bit in his heart, but he just pretended not to see it. After saluting Chen Zhong seriously, he said:

"I also hope that Si Zun will see that I have no credit but hard work, so please give me a good time! It is really boring to torture me like this all the time. I will not believe that I am loyal in the future."

Chen Zhong frowned and looked at Gu You.

Gu You hurriedly replied: "There were a lot of injured people when I came back yesterday, so I was a little negligent."

The man who looked like Gu You walked up to Wu Chen with a smile on his face, and said appreciatively, "I heard that these few days are thanks to you."

"Who did you hear that from?" Wu Chen asked angrily, "Your brother threatened to kill me several times. If I'm so useful, would he just want to kill me?"

"You..." Gu You was about to reprimand him when he was stopped by his brother.

"How do you know I'm brother?" the man asked with a smile.

"His name is Gu You, so you'll be called Gu Zuo. You must be an older brother, but don't tell me, you really look like an older brother. You are a civil servant, and he is a general, right? No, he is a reckless man!" "

Gu Zuo's complexion was also a bit ugly, he thought that Wu Chen should be flattered by giving this beggar named Wu Chen a smile.

"Sizun came to find me, but something happened again?" Wu Chenquan pretended not to see Gu Zuo's expression.

Chen Zhong snorted and said, "I'm afraid you're not capable of solving this difficult matter. I called you here to ask if you understand Qi Men Dun Jia, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams?"

Wu Chen shrugged and expressed regret: "I don't understand."

Gu Zuo frowned and asked, "If you don't understand, how do you know how to find the entrance of the col?"

"You don't need to understand these things to find the entrance of the col, you just need to have a brain."

"But only you can get in and out alive!" Gu Zuo's eyes were aggressive.

"It can only be said that I have a fairy body protection, this is luck."

"You find the entrance several times without any effort."

"Aren't you afraid that you will be bombarded by what you said? I almost died! Does your family have the same meaning as a narrow escape?" Wu Chen was a little annoyed: "Your words are at the key points, which shows that I have all the credit for my hard work. Yes, but how do you treat me? It’s fine if I’m hungry or full, and I can’t bear being locked up in the woodshed, but yesterday I was tired all day, found the crack, and saved dozens of people’s lives, but The result? You tied us up and threw us in the woodshed without giving us a bite to eat, and now you are asking me arrogantly, did you forget that clay figurines have earthy nature?"
