Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 89 Analysis (Part [-])
Xu Da said: "It is because of abnormality that it attracted the attention of the Ghost Mandrill Gang. In addition, they discovered that Brother Wu was also in the team, and they were even more sure that our team escorted what they wanted."

The second grader nodded and said, "The main reason is that they saw Brother Wu."

Wu Chen said: "I'm on the one hand. They must have arranged people in the capital. They know that the new army sent [-] troops to the west, so..."

Before Wu Chen finished speaking, he heard Feng Wei asking outside the carriage, "Is Mr. Wu here?"

Wu Chen lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved to Feng Wei who was on the horse.

Feng Wei got into the carriage, but he didn't expect Gao Er and Xu Da to be there, he bowed his hands to the two, and before he had time to exchange greetings, Senior Gao asked first: "Is General Cai afraid to come or is he unwilling to come due to resentment?"

Feng Wei sighed, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the Imperial City Department, but he was in constant trouble!Cai Kang neither dared nor wanted to come, so he had to come forward, but how should I say this?
Wu Chen was considerate and said: "General Feng, don't be embarrassed. Although my brother and I are not blood relatives, he is better than a relative. He has a simple and honest temperament, and he will not cause trouble. If he is bullied, he will only suffer. If it was before, I might There is no other way but to be bullied together, but now it is different, promotion is not just for getting rich, what does General Feng think?"

Feng Wei sighed again.

Wu Chen said again:
"I just kicked. If Si Zun finds out about this matter, he will definitely blame me for losing the face of the Imperial City Secretary, but General Feng also knows that my kick may not be able to be tolerated by everyone. General Feng told me General Cai, the wound on my brother's face persisted for a day or two, I couldn't help being angry when I saw it, and I might punch him again at any time..."

"Mr. Wu must not be impulsive. If you are angry, you can kick that kick. If you are really going to die... He is also a leader after all, and he is a distant relative of General Cai. General Cai's father-in-law is an official in the court. ..."

"So what?" Wu Chen looked at Feng Wei, and said with a smile, "General Feng doesn't need to worry about me. Before I came out, Si Zun said that I don't need to look at anyone's face, let alone show anyone's face. Anyone who is not good for the escort , I just want to kill! General Cai’s distant relatives make me feel bad, which is tantamount to affecting the escort.”

Feng Wei gasped uncontrollably.

Wu Chen still smiled, and said:
"General Cai said before that his long spear was stained with the blood of many enemies. It is indeed a military achievement, but he is not the only one who can get it. There are many good fighters in the army. What is annoying is that my ability is in the Imperial City Division. But it's the only one, General Cai's father-in-law may not touch me."

Feng Weigang wanted to explain, but the sophomore waved his hand and said, "Don't think that my brother is bullying you, and you don't want to deceive my brother when he is young, and use the officialdom to scare him. Let me tell you this, let's escort These things, as well as the things escorted by other teams, can be said to be my brother alone... Do you understand?"

Feng Wei immediately thought of Wu Chen's divine power.

Xu Da added:
"General Feng doesn't know. Brother Wu can enter our Sizun's house at will. Let alone us, which of the high-ranking officials in Kyoto can do it? We don't ask who is General Cai's father-in-law. You just need to let General Cai think about it. Will your father-in-law give up his official uniform to compete with our Imperial City Secretary?"

Feng Wei immediately said: "Let me tell you something, General Cai knows that Zhu Dutou has caused trouble, so he really has no face to come here..."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't come, I'm afraid I'll be kicked again, let's not talk about this, I was talking to Brother Xu and Brother Gao about how to prepare for the road ahead. General Feng came at the right time. Understood? I mean, does the road behind pass through mountains and forests?"

"Naturally there is."

"Do you know when it will pass by?"

Feng Wei frowned, thought for a while and said: "Many sections of the road to Hezhou have to go through mountains and forests. If Mr. Wu wants to know exactly, I can ask the scouts to report at any time. If there are mountains ahead, Mrs. Wu will also know as soon as possible."

Wu Chen nodded, thinking about it, that's all he could do.

Feng Wei asked again: "Mr. Wu is worried about someone ambushing in the mountains?"

"Aren't you worried?" Wu Chen asked back.

Feng Wei smiled and said: "Unless they have thousands of people, they won't be able to do anything to us. Besides, if so many people gather in one place, the scouts would have discovered it long ago, and we will have our own opinions..."

Wu Chen said solemnly: "If it's an ordinary bandit, I would have several generals to deal with it, so I don't need to worry about it, but this ghost gang is different. They not only dig holes in the ground like gophers, but they are also good at setting up hidden weapons, and they also know how to deal with them." Dealing with ghosts, if the scouts can't find out in advance, how do you say we should guard against it?"

Feng Wei frowned and asked, "Ghost?"

Gao Er just said: "The general doesn't know something, then..." Gao Er scratched his neck and closed his mouth.

The sophomore pause was very abrupt, which puzzled Feng Wei. Wu Chen said, "There are some things that I can't say. I can only say that they are not ordinary bandits."

"I will order the scouts to report back as soon as they find the way through the mountains and forests when they are exploring the road ahead."

……

Feng Wei got out of the carriage, and the sophomore heard the sound of horseshoes fading away, so he asked Wu Chen in a low voice: "You just said that ghost mandrills are good at setting up hidden weapons and dealing with ghosts, so how can you be as helpless as we are in the mountain depression? I mean when you haven't come yet."

Wu Chen said: "Their helplessness can only show that the col is too weird. They have lived in the mountains and forests for more than a hundred years. What do you think they live on?"

This question opened the minds of the sophomores and Xu Da in an instant. As soon as the expressions of horror climbed up on their faces, Wu Chen said again:
"Naturally, they live by hunting. Can they not be good at traps? Then think again, are they hiding in the mountains and forests just for hunting? Of course not. They come from the northern barbarians, and they hide in the mountains and forests of Xingguo all the year round. Naturally, they have a purpose. Most of the tombs are hidden in the mountains and forests, and the treasures they stole from the tombs were secretly transported back to the Northern Man, and the Northern Man can properly provide them with their daily needs..."

"No wonder they want to worry about the things in the col. There are ancient tombs in the col?" the sophomore asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Wu Chen hurriedly instructed:
"It's not an ancient tomb. Don't mention it to others when you return to Kyoto. If someone asks, they will only say that they don't know the truth. Although it can't be hidden, as long as it doesn't come from your mouths, it won't be a secret after a few years. It's not too late for you to say it."

Xu Damang said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, the people in the Investigation Department of the Imperial City are strict with their mouths."

Wu Chen nodded and said, "What the Ghost Mandrill Gang is good at is not allowed to be used in the mountains. I wonder if they will show it on our way?"

The sophomore frowned and said:
"It's true, they discovered the col before us, but they still have nothing to do. They can only prevent us from finding a way to buy time to dig tunnels. I haven't seen other skills. I have indeed learned the ability to dig tunnels."
