Chapter 55: The Bureau

After walking along the way, today, Chen Jun and his party finally rested in an inn next to the official road.

The carriages and horses were exhausted, and the servants accompanied were all exhausted and were kind, so they asked them to rest first and then go to tidy up tomorrow.

Father.

Chen Jun just returned to the room arranged by the inn and heard Chen Jingshu knocking outside.

He put on his robe and turned back to open the door.

Chen Jingshu outside the door was still in the men's clothing in Hu when she was on the road, and her plain white half-sleeved shirt was covered with some yellow mud.

She bowed to Chen Jun, with a slightly tired look on her face.

Jingshu, Chen Jun looked at her, why didn’t he change his clothes and rest?

Since they headed north to Chang'an, they have been traveling starry night and more than ten months, and this is the second rest.

The people were very tired and thought that they didn't have much strength to think more, but Chen Jingshu was very worried.

My son wants to tell his father about something.

Chen Jingshu folded her arms and pushed forward, saluting her solemnly again, hoping that her father would not be surprised.

Chen Jun didn't mean to interrupt her rest, he just smiled slightly and just came in.

yes.

Chen Jun went to sit on the bed, Chen Jingshu picked up a futon from the side and placed it in front of the bed, and knelt down.

Father,

She seemed a little hesitant, wondering if her father knew where His Highness the Princess was?

Chen Jun seemed not surprised by Chen Jingshu's problem. He raised the teapot from the desk since he was a child and poured two bowls of tea.

He handed one of the bowls to Chen Jingshu.

Why did Jingshu ask about His Highness the Princess?

Chen Jun seemed to smile but Chen Jingshu was panicked, and a blush appeared quietly on her slightly tired face.

She was quick to calm down.

Father, before in Yuncheng, Yun Liuniang once told her something.

Eliminating the incongruous love between Yun Liuniang and An, Chen Jingshu carefully used the words and briefly explained the disappearance of An.

My son once went to the county government office and was fortunate to get the county's public relations and saw the missing person files reported by various prefectures and counties.

Not only the An family, but many merchants have also disappeared. The date is similar to that of the An family, and they have it from all walks of life. I don’t know what exactly it is, but it’s probably not accidental.

And among the missing person, there was a blacksmith who once cast iron tools for the government.

After a pause, there is also... Youzhou.

At this point, Chen Jingshu looked at her father, knowing that there was no need to say much about the rest.

Chen Jun was still calm.

Jingshu, after a long time, he said quietly: Do you know that disaster comes from your mouth.

The calm eyes seemed to be as heavy as thousands of times, and the atmosphere inside the house became heavy in an instant.

Recently, you are tired from the journey and you are tired. Shen Jun stroking your beards, don’t think about it randomly.

Chen Jingshu was stunned, but saw Chen Jun take the bag beside her, take out a letter and hand it to her.

I have an old friend of mine for many years and is also a talented person in the literary world. I happened to go home and invite me to visit.

He smiled at Chen Jingshu, very kind. It just so happens that you are very interested in the river transportation in Bianzhou. Why not just walk this for your father and go tomorrow morning.

Father...father?

Suddenly asking her to leave for Bianzhou, Chen Jingshu couldn't help but feel a little bit uncontrollably. She was about to rush out of the King of Wei's name when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

The man.

Outside the house was Liu Qi, and Chen Jingshu had no choice but to keep silent.

Chen Jun asked Liu Qi to come in, and Liu Qi immediately pushed open the door, knelt down and bowed: Lord, wife.

You are here just in time, Chen Jun looks very happy. Jingshu will go with us tomorrow and go to Bianzhou, Liu Qi, just follow us.

Liu Qi is a Mongolian. He lived in Yuncheng in his early years and was taken in by Chen Jun. He has been in the Shen family.

She has a foundation of wrestling, is strong and has some skills in punching and kicking, so she often accompanys Chen Jingshu out.

This time, the accompanying party was no exception, and Liu Qi then left to prepare his luggage.

The door closed again.

Chen Jingshu frowned and wanted to say anything to Chen Jun again, but she was cut off.

Obviously she didn't want her to mention that disrespectful guess again. Chen Jingshu felt sad. After kowtowing and saying ease, she bowed and left.

night.

Chen Jingshu lay on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost two months since she and Sibugui separated.

The longing will not ferment in my heart for a day, and the torture of Chen Jingshu in the middle of the night is full of anxiety.

But anxiety is not only missing that person.

As smart as quiet as a quiet man, he had pieced together a small number of the plots and tricks of the King of Wei from the words Yun Liuniang told her.

Although most of it is based on her guess, Chen Jingshu always has an intuition that she is right.

An inferred that he might have been kidnapped because of the token sent by her husband, and took his property to Youzhou to redeem the people, but in the end he had no news.

If it weren't for her, it wasn't that An's family was missing, but imprisoned. The so-called ransom should all fall into the hands of the thief.

The rebel wanted to recruit soldiers, and Chen Jingshu remembered the files of the missing people again.

There are dozens of missing files, almost a small pile.

The missing places were not very concentrated and the number was not large, perhaps because it was not valued by the imperial court.

Conspiracy is a serious crime, and it involves the prince. Without conclusive evidence, Chen Jingshu cannot talk about it casually with others.

I thought my father would be a little different, but I didn't expect that he had such a evasive attitude.

Chen Jingshu sighed deeply, and suddenly felt that her father made her feel unpredictable.

In fact, the Shenjun in my impression is always calm and unstoppable, and there is even a little bit of cunning like a slander.

Once upon a time, when she was young, her family lived in Chang'an. Her mother, Xie Rong, was born into a noble family and was well-educated. Chen Jun also served in front of the palace and was successful in his career.

It can be said to be harmonious, but since her mother Xie Rong passed away, her father felt like she had suddenly grown much older.

That kind of unpredictable cunning aura also seemed to be heavier.

Her thoughts were mixed, and Chen Jingshu recalled what she remembered, and opened her eyes until dawn.

I got up and sorted it out. Chen Jingshu had eaten breakfast and wanted to say goodbye to her father.

But before she could arrive at the door where her father was temporarily living, she met the servant in charge and told her: Madam, the boss has gone out with Erlang to do business and is not in the room.

Chen Jingshu was a little surprised. Do you know where they went? What to do?

The servant shook his head, and the Langzhu and Erlang were in a hurry to leave, and left within three hours of the Yin hour, without explanation.

Is it so early? Chen Jingshu turned her head and looked at the sky, her brows frowned slightly.

It’s just dawn, what are the father and brother doing?

However, thinking too much is useless at the moment. Chen Jingshu went back to her room to clean up, so she called Liu Qi to prepare to go on the road.

But the servant from the inn suddenly ran over and told Chen Jingshu that there was no extra donkey.

Liu Qi's temper immediately came up. He glared at the almond eyes and cursed roughly: I just told her that she should go early yesterday. Are you talking nonsense?

The servant apologized repeatedly. Seeing that he was about to cry, Chen Jingshu persuaded Liu Qi, and then asked the servant to go to the market to see that there were livestock available.

Liu Qi was afraid that the servant would be slick and procrastinate, so he suggested going with him.

Chen Jingshu agreed, and after giving silver money, she went back to her room to wait for them.

This wait is two incense sticks.

Liu Qi still hadn't returned, Chen Jingshu almost didn't sleep last night, and she was tired and felt dizzy for some reason.

I couldn't hold on, Chen Jingshu and Yi fell on the couch and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was noon.

Liu Qi seemed to have not come back yet. Chen Jingshu rubbed her still dull head, cleaned her face with the clean water in the room, and pushed the door out.

The sun was fierce outside the house, and the quiet and quiet couldn't open his eyes.

But when she finally barely looked at the object, she realized that the reflective armor was actually a shiny armor!

The inn is silent, a black flag flutters in the wind, and the dragons and phoenixes are flying above it, and it is written with a huge character "Wei".

King of Wei!

Dong!

A heavy stomp sounded, and a tall man in heavy armor stepped forward to Chen Jingshu.

The cold and cold aura of cold armor came to my face, faintly carrying a stream of undispersed blood.

He is full of murderous intent.

My chin was suddenly pinched, and my thick knuckles were covered with thick cocoons, which made Chen Jingshu feel painful.

The smell of blood that was smelling at the nose seemed to be stronger.

Against the light, the whole face of King Wei seemed to be hidden in the darkness where the sun was growing, dangerous and hideous.

Only a hoarse voice poured into the eardrums:

Shen-sai woman and Hisao Daimyo.

(Miss Chen, who is always caught...)
