Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 98 New Errand? (two more)
Feng Wei nodded and said: "We have enough carriages, soldiers can take turns to rest in the carts, infantry and cavalry can also change guards, it's actually not too hard..."

Wu Chen hurriedly said: "You follow your regulations. I am a layman, and I only want to rest at night. The soldiers don't work so hard and don't think so much. General Feng doesn't care what I say, march according to your plan. That's right."

Feng Wei turned his head and looked at Wu Chen. He felt that Wu Chen was not speaking in anger, so he hesitated and said, "It will definitely be two days later than expected when we arrive in Hezhou, and we will have to trouble Mr. Wu to help follow up." The general of the new army explained one or two."

Wu Chen frowned. He thought that he might receive Chen Zhong's reply in the past two days. Chen Zhong would definitely understand what he meant, and everything that happened here would be reported to Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong knew that his role was gone. Leaving the team and rushing to Kyoto as soon as possible should be what Chen Zhong wanted to see.

Wu Chen frowned and thought about it. Feng Wei thought that Wu Chen didn't want to help, so he quickly said:
"I'm afraid it's hard to explain what happened on the way. We told the truth to the generals of the new army. I'm afraid they won't believe it. The investigation department where Mr. Wu works belongs to the same imperial department as Bingjing, where the new army works. Cheng Si, I think it is easier to talk than us, and only you can explain it clearly..."

Wu Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will remember this matter, whether I follow you to the end or not, I will explain it clearly to you."

Feng Wei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What does Mr. Wu mean by this? You want to leave?"

"I've already done what I can do. It depends on how Si Zun arranges it later. As I said, what happens later is something you can deal with. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not."

"Well, how can it be said that there is no problem? As long as Mr. Wu is here, all the soldiers can sleep soundly at night..."

"There will be nothing more, don't worry, there is always a banquet in the world..."

Wu Chen was talking when he heard the sophomore calling him from under the car: "Brother Wu, come here."

……

Wu Chen got into the carriage of the sophomore, and the sophomore and Xu Da looked at Wu Chen with solemn expressions. The sophomore said, "Sizun sent a letter saying that there is a new errand, and someone will come to pick us up. We are not going back to Kyoto, but to Zhongzhou. What is it?" The errand will not be known until the person arrives, and Si Zun also said that he misses Aunt Ping and asks Aunt Ping to go back to the capital for reunion first."

Wu Chen immediately frowned, Chen Zhong's intention was obvious, he wanted to keep a hostage in his hands, Wu Chen didn't understand what would make Chen Zhong so worried about the next errand?

Xu Da persuaded: "Don't think about it too much, Si Zun may have good intentions, let's go out on business, and Ping Gu is by your side, there is indeed something wrong, and you will be distracted. It's better to go back to the capital first, with Si Zun protecting you , no one dares to bully Pinggu."

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows, wanting to say that Chen Zhong didn't have such kind intentions, but when he opened his mouth, he said, "Si Zun doesn't believe anyone."

The second year of high school sighed and said: "I have been in the investigation department for some years. I heard that we also had a deputy commander who was in charge, but I didn't know why I annoyed Si Zun, and I haven't seen this person again."

Xu Da also said:

"We all thought that the position of Deputy Commander would be given to Gu Zuo sooner or later. Our Investigation Department is not like Bing Jingwu. It is easy for Si Zun to find an obedient eunuch, but the head of the Investigation Department is not so easy to find. , wandering outside all day, and doing errands behind people's backs, if you are not very trustworthy, it is difficult to fully entrust it.",

Wu Chen snorted and said:

"Most of your errands are related to the future of civil and military officials. It's normal for him to be worried, but I don't see any intention of cultivating you in your actions, including Gu You. What does that mean? It means that he has no intention of delegating power! No wonder I always felt that you had no brains at first, it’s not that you don’t have them, it’s because he doesn’t allow you to have them, my elder brother once said that you don’t need to use your brains if you obey orders, what Si Zun wants is to be obedient, as long as he has brains.”

Xu Da said in a low voice: "You can only say these words to us, and you must not tell others!"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Si Zun knows what I am like. If I behave obediently, it will only make him more suspicious."

The second year of high school asked: "Then, what about Ping Gu? Are you really asking her to go back to Kyoto first?"

"As long as I'm still alive, Aunt Ping will be fine and well taken care of. I'm not worried about her returning to the capital. I'm worried about this new errand. If it's just a simple matter of life and death, Master might not think of letting Ping Going to the capital, since I want to hold Pinggu in my hands, it is not a simple matter of life and death."

The sophomore looked at Xu Da and asked, "Do you understand?"

Xu Da frowned and thought for a while, "Brother Wu means that Si Zun is worried that Brother Wu didn't finish his errands, so he ran away."

The sophomore said "Oh", and said, "What will happen to the errands that make Brother Wu run away?"

Xu Da shrugged and said, "What can you and I do? It's either life or death."

Wu Chen groaned, and said annoyedly, "The worst decision I made was to bring the two of you here."

Xu Da laughed and said, "You think we won't come if you don't bring it with you? Didn't Si Zun say that someone will come to pick you up?"

Sophomore said:
"Your temperament is difficult to control, and the master is not around. I want to take you on a new errand. I'm afraid I can't do it without someone I know well. Even if you didn't bring us this time, the people who picked you up this time , there will also be the two of us, Gu You is on the way to escort, I'm afraid we won't be able to get away."

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, the water is covered with earth, and when someone arrives, let's see what the errand is."

……

Wu Chen thought that the person who came to pick him up would take two or three days to arrive, but he didn't expect that the person would arrive at dusk this day.

A group of dozens of people came on horseback, and there were two carriages.

Feng Wei had no choice but to order the whole team to stop.

Wu Chen heard the news and went to meet them. He saw that all the dozens of people had dismounted. The person walking in the front was young, wearing a black jacket with arrow sleeves, a black sleeveless collared robe, and a Cap, black belt, and jade saber, this attire made the man look even more handsome.

Wu Chen felt envious, and thought about getting dressed up too.

The man walked across from Wu Chen. The second year of high school, Xu Da and Da Tou, and Feng Wei, Cai Kang, and Xu Liang who hurried over followed behind Wu Chen.

The man raised his head impatiently, walked up to Wu Chen, and looked Wu Chen up and down with disdain. Wu Chen squinted at the arrogant expression of the man in front of him, feeling a little annoyed in his heart. He looked at that person with the same eyes.

She is white and clean, dressed like a man, but looks... delicate.

Seeing that Wu Chen didn't show a flattering smile like the usual people, the man was naturally upset. He raised his head and looked back, and asked loudly, "Who is Wu Chen? The one who was a beggar before?"
