Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 22 Conquering (Second Update)
Everyone went out, including the two little eunuchs, Chen Zhong asked directly: "Who are you?"

Wu Chen sat straight on the armchair, raised his legs first, then sighed and said:
"Si Zun may not believe it, but I still have to say, I don't know how I came here. It's like a dream. When I wake up, I will be in Anping County, and I don't remember anything before." Wu Chen spread his hands together: "To be honest, I don't want to stay here, but I don't know where to go? I don't have any talents, I only have a good brain, so that day Si Zun asked me if I was afraid of death, and I said no , I answered without any hesitation, because I have nothing to worry about, after these few days, I feel that I am here to protect Si Zun, otherwise why would I be here?"

The last sentence was in line with Chen Zhong's dream, and Chen Zhong believed it naturally. Even though what Wu Chen said was vague, he only thought that Wu Chen had something to hide, and he didn't ask the bottom line. He wanted to find out slowly.

Chen Zhong asked again:

"How did you find the col?"

"As I said just now, it's easy to use your head. Sir, please think about it. The col is real. I went in and stepped on the ground of the col. It can't be fake. Since it exists, it is in the mountain. Before Gu You and the others couldn’t find it. On the one hand, they don’t know what the col looks like. How could they find it? Second, the col is well hidden, so it’s definitely not something that can be found by searching the mountain. If so, where is the most unlikely place for the col? "

"You found the col not because you know five elements and eight trigrams, Qimen Dunjia?"

"Where do I know these things? As I said just now, I don't remember the previous events. I just deduced that the col must be there, and it must not be far away. The rest is luck. I was lucky. "

"You really don't know where the underground entrance is?"

Wu Chen put down his raised Erlang legs, and said seriously:

"I really don't know, I can deduce the location of the entrance of the col, but this time Gu You led someone to accidentally touch the mechanism, but he didn't touch it completely, so that the col was stuck there and would not move anymore. There was a soil in the col. Most of the corpses are next to the mound. I infer that people who go in think the mound is an underground entrance, but maybe the entrance has nothing to do with the mound. I don’t know how to find the underground entrance, but I think People from the Ghost Mandrill Gang will have a solution."

After hearing this, Chen Zhong's eyes flashed.

"It's just..." Wu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "I don't think it's feasible to catch people from the Ghost Gang for questioning. Thinking about it another way, Si Zun's thoughts and decisions will not be known to the people below, really. Said that they arrested the sophomore, and they couldn't ask anything. But if we let them in, why don't we stay outside?"

Chen Zhong immediately understood what Wu Chen meant. He was far more familiar with the mountains, especially the underground, with the Ghost Mandrill Gang, and they had a chance to reap the benefits.

Chen Zhong thought for a while before saying, "They are not stupid."

"Yes, but if the drama is done enough, is it possible?"

Chen Zhong chuckled, then put away his smile suddenly, and asked sullenly, "Why did you help Gu Zuo just now?"

"We will work together in the future. There is no need to kill them all. They are just afraid of falling out of favor in front of Si Zun. I will not argue with them. What I can do for Si Zun, they cannot do."

Chen Zhong's expression softened a lot, and his tone was naturally gentle. He said, "Move to the wing room today, and wait for me to make arrangements... If the ghost mandrill can't help you, you will have to go there a few more times."

Wu Chen stood up and saluted, and said, "It should be so."

"Can you really see ghosts?" Chen Zhong raised his teacup, as if asking casually.

"It's strange to say that I couldn't see it the first time I went there, but I could see it the second time I went there. This may be the fate with Si Zun. With Si Zun's approval, I have developed some skills. "

These few words were extremely useful to Chen Zhong, he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment in subduing the traitor.

But who exactly conquered whom?

……

The little eunuch was called in, Chen Zhong gave some instructions carefully, and Wu Chen followed the little eunuch out of the room.

Gu Zuo had been waiting at the door, seeing Wu Chen coming out with a happy face, he felt even more restless, he couldn't wait for the little eunuch to report, so he went straight into the house.

"Can't you wait like this?" Chen Zhong looked at the flustered Gu Zuo, and asked very unhappy.

"I'm in a hurry, but I hope Si Zun will forgive me!" Gu Zuo bowed, and then immediately said: "This subordinate thinks that Wu Chen is eloquent and eloquent, so he really shouldn't be staying!"

"Oh? Do you think I can't tell the difference and will be deceived by him?"

"No, no! Si Zunzhi is very capable, how can he be deceived by him, but right now we are anxious about matters in the mountains, and Wu Chen happens to be able to do things that Gu You and the others cannot, so he will inevitably feel complacent... ..."

Chen Zhong waved his hand, and asked impatiently, "He helped you out just now, didn't you notice?"

Gu Zuo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This is what makes Wu Chen scary! He knows that I want his life, but he still helps me out at the critical point. I want his life for the sake of Si Zun, and he spares everything. ...It's terrifying to think about it carefully!"

"For me?" Chen Zhong smiled.

"Si Zun, please think about it. We have been following Si Zun for many years. It goes without saying that we are loyal. Wu Chen, a beggar, suddenly appeared. I don't know what his intentions are. If this person is honest and honest, it's fine. Clever, this is a disaster!"

"Wu Chen just said that he won't compete with you." Chen Zhong looked at Gu Zuo playfully and said.

Gu Zuo was taken aback.

"He said, you can't do what he can do. You are so anxious, but he never takes you seriously. Why do you say that is?"

Gu Zuo hurriedly said: "This just shows that his thoughts are all on Si Zun."

Chen Zhong squinted his eyes and stared at Gu Zuo, Gu Zuo was so watched that he lowered his head.

"I brought you up, and no one knows your temperament better than me. Go on, I will find you if there is an errand, and don't make Wu Chen's idea again."

Chen Zhong waved his hand, Gu Zuo wanted to say something more, but he didn't dare.

……

Wu Chen and Da Tou had lunch and hurried to bed to catch up on sleep. Neither of them slept well last night.

Gu Zuo and Gu You were sitting in the room full of thoughts, both of them looked unhappy, Gu You said: "In Si Zun's room, the few of them should be discussing the next matters, and they didn't call you."

Gu Zuo said with a gloomy face, "This time I was careless. I wanted to kill Wu Chen in one go, but I didn't expect Si Zun to value him so much. Not only did I fail to take his life, but it made Si Zun feel bad about me."

"Si Zunying is worried that something will happen in the future. Right now, he is the only one who can enter and leave the mountain at night, but the mountain disappears at some point, and he is the only one who can find it, so..."

"That's why we can't stay! Otherwise, who will get the credit? This kind of errand is rare in a hundred years. If it is finally completed with the joint efforts of you and my brother, the deputy commander will be in my bag!" Gu Zuo said in a deep voice.
