Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 463 Return to Kyoto! (Second update)
At noon, the former Shuangxi Village was completely unrecognizable, and the mountains were riddled with holes. The three-forked river had disappeared and was filled with large and small rocks. Wu Chen did not destroy it like he destroyed Shizhai. All the hills, that would make him exhausted. He just knocked off some rocks to see if they were hollow inside.

At this time, Wu Chen was pointing at the former Shuangxi Village and telling Yu Shian how to spread the soil and what to say before spreading it...

Xu Daguyou stood together and talked in a low voice. Xing Yun looked at everything in front of him in a daze. The place where they were standing was originally a narrow mountain road. Now it has been widened by Wu Chen. It is just a little bumpy, but It is still helpful for earth movement.

The eldest and others were finally reunited, and the second and fourth eldest were talking enthusiastically about what happened last night.

It was as if nothing happened last night, except that the big head was missing.

But no one dared to mention this difference.

It would be most appropriate to leave the next earthworks to Yu Shi'an. If 500 people are not enough, Yu Shi'an can deploy more troops to nearby military camps.

Yu Shian's mood was very complicated. He always wanted to find an opportunity to repay his kindness, but Wu Chen had always put him in the safest position, leaving him only with the task of guarding Datou. He hadn't completed it yet. Wu Chen said that Datou had gone. place, but Yu Shian still felt sorry for Wu Chen, but he didn't know what to say.

After Wu Chen finished his instructions, he patted Yu Shian and said, "Goodbye in Kyoto!" He turned around and left.

Xu Da, Xing Yun, and the boss did not dare to delay and quickly followed.

Wu Chen ran forward quickly, and the others struggled to follow. Only Xing Yun could barely follow, and he could only look at Wu Chen's back from a distance.

……

The group finally came to the outside of Yongshan County again. Wu Chen arrived early and found someone to prepare a few horses. When he saw a few people following him, Wu Chen galloped on his horse, and the remaining people hurriedly mounted their horses.

Xing Yun shouted while chasing: "You don't know the road, you'll get lost again!"

Wu Chen slowed down. He really didn't remember the way. When he came, he relied on Xing Yun to lead him. On the way back, he only remembered the short section outside Yongshan County and the short section outside Kyoto.

"I know you're anxious," Xing Yun caught up with Wu Chen and said, "I'm anxious too, but what if I'm anxious again? This place is thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and you can't reach it in one breath, even if you work hard to catch up. Go back, how can you fight the Ghost King when you are so exhausted?"

At this time, Xu Da and his group also caught up. Wu Chen slowed down, and Xing Yun rode at the front. The group of people sped up and headed straight for Kyoto.

……

The group did not rest much for three consecutive days. On this day, they went to the inn to change horses and make some repairs.

A group of people gathered together, Wu Chen said: "I know the way after passing Teng County. I will go back then. You guys should repair yourself before entering Beijing. Don't look for me when you get back. Don't ask anything about what to do." do what."

Xing Yun said: "I'll go with you! I don't trust you to deal with the Ghost King alone." "You will only be a burden to me if you follow me." Wu Chen said expressionlessly.

Xu Da glanced at Wu Chen. Wu Chen would not have said this before. Xu Da thought it was because Da Tou left suddenly and had not recovered, so he interrupted:
"Maybe it's not what you think. I don't know what the Ghost King is. Maybe he knows how powerful you are, and he hid long ago when he saw Shuangxi Village destroyed."

Wu Chen looked at Xu Da and asked, "Why do you think Aunt Ping wants to go to Qianfo Temple?"

Xu Da glanced at the others, and then said seriously:

"You have said before that there is nothing wrong with Pinggu, but, no matter what, how can she be related to the Ghost King when she is a little lady? It was a coincidence that she was rescued in the first place. Even we didn't know that you were meeting in the middle of the night. How could she predict where she was going?"

Wu Chen did not answer immediately. He did not know how to tell these people who he was. It was not unusual for the Ghost King or his people to appear where he woke up. What was strange was why he was not killed as soon as possible.
"Aunt Ping was born and raised in Anping County. Her parents valued boys over daughters. Maybe for Aunt Ping, she would be satisfied if her parents didn't sell her as a concubine or sell her to a brothel. But as a When I asked her whether to go back with me or stay at Thousand Buddhas Temple, she said she would rather die with understanding than live a confused life... But for ordinary people, how can they live without being confused?"

Gu You frowned and asked, "Do you think Aunt Ping stayed in Qianfo Temple on purpose? Why does she... want to be with the Queen Mother?"

Xing Yun said hurriedly: "I'm not afraid of beheading anymore. If that's the case, then the Queen Mother is the Ghost King or knows where the Ghost King is. That person named Ping Gu is just following orders..."

"If you obey orders, you will not stay in Qianfo Temple." Wu Chen interrupted Xing Yun and said: "The fact that the Queen Mother came to you in person is enough to prove that she is not the Ghost King. It is not your turn to threaten the Ghost King in person. Ping Guruo is just a listener. If you are ordered to do something, the best position is to follow me, and this is not difficult to do. Gu Ping only needs to ask Datou to make a request, and I will definitely agree. But she chose to stay in Qianfo Temple. Even if she is not the Ghost King, she is The most powerful general of the Ghost King..."

Xu Da said anxiously: "Then, she should have attacked you early. How could she..."

"I didn't think about this either. I won't know until I see her, if she is willing to tell me." Wu Chen said with a smile.

"Wait for me to figure it out." Xu Da said seriously: "The Pinggu we met in Luanfengang later took care of her parents. Chen Zhong recognized her as his adopted daughter. She followed us to escort the convoy, and then he You sent her back to Kyoto first, and we went to Yang'an County. When we returned to Kyoto, she had already entered the palace to accompany the fifth princess, so what's the problem? I don't think there's any big problem."

"It's not normal for Chen Zhong to recognize her as his adopted daughter! Her parents were killed by Chen Zhong when we left Anping County. I originally wanted to hide it because Aunt Ping once said that she would starve her parents and brothers. That's it. I thought at the time that this little lady was strong on the outside but actually very kind on the inside. This was why I kept her with me. But when she knew that her parents were gone, she had no reaction, including the fact that her second brother was gone. She also didn't say anything, which made me suspect that she had eaten the Queen Mother's food, so I went into the palace to find the Queen Mother. Why did they put on this show?"

Xing Yun asked hurriedly: "Are you saying that they lured you there intentionally when you entered the palace?"

Wu Chen nodded.

Gu You pondered his thoughts and suddenly frowned and asked, "Did you find out about Shuangxi Village after you entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother?"

Wu Chen said: "The official said it out of anger. If the Queen Mother said it, I'm afraid I would think more about it."

　I received a lot of monthly tickets, thank you!Hold your fist!
