Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 63 Worries (one more)
Wu Chen hugged Gu Shiming to the ground with one hand, Gu You looked dumbfounded.

Wu Chen handed the torch in his hand to Gu You, threw Gu Shiming to the ground, and said, "Let's do this for today. I'll go back and report to Master Ming to see how to continue tomorrow. This is not the way. There are still a few people who have fainted." , order someone to carry them up."

Gu You sighed again and again.

Wu Chen glanced at Gu Shiming who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and asked, "How is Zhang Yuan's business?"

"I have ordered someone to send it back, and I have someone to take care of it, so there should be no danger of life." Gu You said.

Wu Chen said: "The soldiers were born in the countryside. You should have seen them, but you have seen them to some extent. If they go down, they can be scared to death, let alone the pampered people? It's not a matter of consideration."

Gu You asked puzzledly: "Is it so scary down here? It's more scary than the mountain col?"

Wu Chen snorted coldly and said:

"For you, the mountain col is eating people, but for me it's scary! Si Zun trusts you the most, and also protects you the most. Whenever there is danger, you will stay by the side, and you don't have to risk yourself. You and your brother really shouldn't have other ideas, you said I was going to die, you have to fight with me, isn't it a bit ignorant?"

Gu You bowed his head and remained silent.

"Is the carriage ready?" Wu Chen asked.

Gu You nodded and said, "Outside the mountain depression."

Wu Chen picked up Gu Shiming with one hand, put it down again, and said, "Find two people to carry him into the carriage. I will damage his reputation by carrying him like this."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the mountain with his hands behind his back, when Gu You suddenly shouted from behind: "Thank you!"

Wu Chen didn't look back, he raised his arms and waved his hands gracefully.

……

At this time, it was already dark, and the carriage wandered into the city, and then wandered to the gate of the house.

Before Wu Chen got out of the carriage after lifting the curtain, he saw Da Tou and Aunt Ping standing at the gate of the courtyard with a worried expression on his face.

Wu Chen jumped out of the carriage, walked towards the two of them and said, "If you don't take good care of Gao Er and Xu Da, why are you running out?"

The big head stepped forward anxiously, first touched Wu Chen's face, then looked back and forth, and then said: "The old man surnamed Zhang was carried back before, and he didn't have much air in and out. He said he was on business. Scared, the two of us know that you are with them on business, can you not be worried?"

Ping Gu said: "I know my benefactor is brave, but no matter how big..."

Before Aunt Ping could finish her words, she happened to see the coachman helping the pale-faced Gu Shiming down, and Gu Shiming followed the coachman towards the courtyard with a dull expression.

"He, he was also scared?" Ping Gu asked in surprise.

The big head hurriedly said: "It must be scary. I've seen this before. I couldn't survive the whole night, and I died before dawn."

Ping Gu hurriedly said to Wu Chen, "I beg Si Zun to change my benefactor's errand."

Wu Chen asked with a smile, "What do you think can scare me?"

Pinggu tilted her head and thought for a while, thinking of Wu Chen's performance that night at Luanfengang, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm also wondering, what can scare people like that?"

"Have you had dinner yet?" Wu Chen walked towards the courtyard.

Datou hurriedly said: "I wanted to eat just now, Pinggu insisted on pulling me out to meet you, now we just happen to eat together."

"You guys eat first, I'm going to see Si Zun first."

……

Chen Zhong sat on the collapsed face with a dignified expression. He didn't expect the underground to be so terrifying. Zhang Yuan said that if something happened to Gu Shiming, he might not be able to explain it when he returned to the capital. Chen Zhong was not afraid, but there was no need to tell him. Making enemies, he remembered what Wu Chen said: You have the right now, wait until that day...

As soon as he thought of Wu Chen, Wu Chen came.

Chen Zhong signaled Wu Chen to sit down casually.

After Wu Chen sat down, he said, "Although Gu Shiming was a little overly frightened, he should be fine. Take some time and take some soothing decoction, and he will recover in a few days. I just don't know how Zhang Yuan will be?"

Chen Zhong failed to control his expression this time, he looked at Wu Chen in surprise, wondering how Wu Chen would know what he was worried about right now?
Wu Chen thought that Chen Zhong misunderstood that he knew medicine, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't know medical skills, but when he was underground, Gu Shiming obviously regained some energy, if he was really frightened, what he said would be nonsense. What he said was normal, so I deduced that he was okay."

Chen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Healed people have been ordered, don't worry! But, what should we do tomorrow to find the treasure as soon as possible?"

Wu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "The underground murals are indeed eerie and terrifying. It's hard for ordinary people to bear seeing them, but it's useless for me to see them alone!"

Chen Zhong immediately asked: "Didn't you say that the group of people who created the mountain col and the people who hid the treasure were not the same group of people? The murals must have nothing to do with the people Qi Xuan sent to hide the treasure..."

"Yes, but no matter whether the treasure is in the south wall or the north wall, you have to dig the wall? Where do you start? Does the mural have other meanings? If it is destroyed improperly, will it cause trouble to the upper body? Sir I should have thought of this today, and thought I would take Gu Shiming and Zhang Yuan underground, but who would have thought..."

"You go down first, I'll think about it again, and you will come back tomorrow morning."

Wu Chen stood up and retreated.

……

Back in the front yard, Wu Chen first went to see the sophomore and Xu Da, and then went back to the house for dinner.

Datou was already full and lying on the bed. What Wu Chen didn't expect was that Pinggu was there.

"Why didn't you go back to your room to eat?" Wu Chen asked after washing his hands in the copper basin.

Pinggu mustered up her courage and said: "I thought about it and thought, and I think that there will be no one who can work with you tomorrow, so it's better for me to go with you than you. With me."

Wu Chen froze for a moment.

Da Tou hurriedly sat up and said, "Then I'll go too. I'm timid, but... there's no but, if Aunt Ping can go, I'll go. It's not like I haven't gone out with you at night."

"What did you see when you went out at night?" Wu Chen asked with a smile.

The big head pointed at Pinggu.

Wu Chen said: "Gu Ping is indeed more courageous, you can't, you can really see strange things underground, you will be afraid, you will be frightened, and you will not be able to appreciate the delicious food, whether you are full or hungry You may not even know it.”

When Datou heard it, he immediately lied, sat down at the table and asked, "What should I do then?"

Wu Chen sat down, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat, and said, "It's fine if you don't go. It's not that you don't know my courage. Those things can't scare me. If you go, it will hurt me and I will protect you."

Tilting his head to think about it, he persuaded Gu Ping: "Don't go too, it will cause my brother to protect you and delay the work."

"I'm not like you!" Aunt Ping said unwillingly, "If I was afraid of those things, why would I have stayed in Luanfengang for two nights alone? I'm not afraid, do you dare to stay alone in Luanfengang at night? "

The big head shook his head quickly.

Ping Gu raised her head, looked at Wu Chen and said firmly, "I can do it!"

Wu Chen smiled and said: "I believe you can do it, but it's not a matter of being afraid or not. What I need to find now is someone who can understand paintings. Oh, don't worry about it. I'll be fine. Have you eaten yet?" ? If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together.”
