Chapter 274: Something Strange on the Mountain
Chapter 274: Something Strange on the Mountain
It was just dawn when we arrived at Chen's house.
This time Jin Yuyao went forward and knocked on the door.
It took a long time for the door to open.
The man who opened the door looked at Jin Yuyao sleepily and said, "What's the matter before dawn?"
Jin Yuyao said, "We are here to talk to Master Chen about something very important. Please inform him."
The one who opened the door said, "Who are you?"
"Jin Yuyao."
"Okay, wait a moment then."
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Zhao Hu walked over and asked worriedly, "Could it be that Master Chen simply doesn't want to see us?"
Jin Yuyao said affirmatively: "No."
Zhao Hu said: "Are you so sure?"
Jin Yuyao nodded.
Sure enough, although I waited for a long time, the door finally opened.
The doorman said, "Come in."
Jin Yuyao glanced at Zhao Hu.
Then he, Zhao Hu, Wen Zhu and a servant followed him into Chen's house.
Chen Qianhe was waiting for them in the study.
Jin Yuyao and others entered the study.
I saw Chen Qianhe sitting behind the desk, and it looked like he had just woken up.
Chen Qianhe looked up and asked, "Doctor Jin, do you have something important to tell me? Why are you here so early?"
Jin Yuyao said, "Master Chen, I have something very important to tell you."
Chen Qianhe waved his hand and the servant retreated.
"What's the matter, Doctor Jin?"
Jin Yuyao looked at Zhao Hu and said, "You go ahead and tell me."
Zhao Hu recounted what had happened.
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, Chen Qianhe took a breath.
Jin Yuyao looked at his expression and said, "Master Chen, we have no other choice but to come to you."
Chen Qianhe said, "Let me think about it carefully."
After saying that, Chen Qianhe lowered his head and thought about something.
Jin Yuyao and Wenzhu watched from the side.
After a moment, he said, "Wei Xun and I have had some conflicts recently. The last incident was very unpleasant. But the most urgent task now is to find the location of the food and grass. It is not a small amount.
It must have been placed there, but it would have to be a very large place to store it. We will now split into two groups, one will keep an eye on Wei Xun, and the other will look for food and supplies."
Jin Yuyao nodded and said, "It still depends on you, sir. We are at a loss for the moment."
Chen Qianhe said, "Wei Xun is very scheming and quite vicious. Zhao Hu, you definitely can't leave. You still have to go find him openly. I will help you secretly, but who are you going to leave the task of finding food and fodder?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jin Yuyao.
Jin Yuyao said in a strange tone, "Why can't I do that?"
Chen Qianhe said, "You are a woman and you don't know martial arts. It's very dangerous. You definitely can't do it."
Jin Yuyao said, "Master Chen, you must believe that I can do it."
Chen Qianhe said: "You have nothing to do with it and I don't want to involve you."
Jin Yuyao said: "I don't want it either, but don't forget that Wang Jingshan and the prince are on the front line. How can I just ignore it?"
Chen Qianhe said: "But that would be very dangerous. What if something happens to you?"
Jin Yuyao said, "Then Sir Chen, please send someone to protect me for a while."
Chen Qianhe said: "Okay."
Chen Qianhe said: "Chen Qing"
After he finished speaking, he saw someone coming in.
Jin Yuyao felt that the man was like a cube of ice, and he walked in with an expressionless face.
"grown ups"
"You will stay by Dr. Jin's side to protect her and follow his instructions?"
"Yes"
Just a few simple words.
Chen Qianhe said: "Zhao Hu, you should go back, otherwise he will definitely be suspicious if you disappear."
Zhao Hu nodded: "Then we'll go first."
Chen Qianhe said, "I'll try to gather some food and supplies and send them over as soon as possible. Otherwise, the weather is really unbearable."
Jin Yuyao said, "I knew that Master Chen would not let us down."
Chen Qianhe said: "I just did what I should do."
"Then let's go first."
Jin Yuyao took Wenzhu and Chen Qing out of the Chen Mansion.
For a moment I didn't know where I was going or which way to go.
There really is no goal at all.
Jin Yuyao said, "Let's go to Lingshan first."
Wenzhu nodded.
They came to Lingshan and found an inn to stay in.
Jin Yuyao looked at Chen Qing and said, "Chen Qing, please keep an eye on Wei Wenjun these few days to see where he goes and if there's anything suspicious going on."
Chen Qing nodded and left.
The two dressed up in the inn before leaving.
The two of them walking on the street looked like two young masters.
Wen Zhu was puzzled and asked, "What are we doing? Why are we dressed like this?"
Jin Yuyao said: "Since Wei Wenjun has met us, we should not cause unnecessary trouble. Let's go and you will know when the time comes."
Jin Yuyao and Wenzhu brought a teahouse.
I ordered two plates of pastries and a pot of tea in the hall.
Wenzhu was a little confused and whispered, "How can we have time to drink tea here?"
Jin Yuyao said, "You'll know in a moment."
Wen Zhu was still a little confused and whispered in Jin Yuyao's ear, "How about I go to the Wei family and do a secret investigation?"
Jin Yuyao said, "No need."
Then the two of them sat there drinking tea.
Jin Yuyao didn't say anything and just listened to what the people around her were saying.
Wenzhu was very puzzled.
A few men drinking tea nearby said, "You know, I heard that Master Wei has been very quiet recently. What do you think is going on?"
"I don't know, did you take in a new concubine recently?"
"It seems that there isn't one. I heard that he hasn't been to Yanyu Tower for a long time."
"So, is it because he has taken a fancy to a girl from a certain family or a certain young wife?"
"You don't know that I've heard that Master Wei is often in the mountains outside the city recently. I feel a little strange when you say that."
"What's he doing on that mountain? Aren't there any pretty girls there?"
"I do not know."
At noon, Jin Yuyao and Wen Zhu went to the restaurant.
I also sat down in the lobby and ordered a few dishes and started eating.
At the beginning, everyone chatted about some family matters.
One man drank a glass of wine and said, "Zhang Xiong, don't you know that my relative has been hunting in the mountains lately and hasn't had any prey. Do you know what's going on?"
"No prey? That shouldn't be the case? Logically speaking, there hasn't been any in all these years?"
"Who knows? Anyway, they say things have been very strange in the mountains lately. Life wasn't good enough to begin with, but he still managed to hunt and eat some meat. But he came to me that day to borrow money. How could I possibly lend him any money?"
"Then why don't you go to the nearby mountains and have a look?"
"I went to a nearby place and it was the same situation. He said maybe we should go somewhere further away to have a look."
"Is it so miserable?"
"Who says it isn't?"
