Imperial City Investigative Department

Although Wu Chen did not have a teacher, he had seen others use it repeatedly, and he himself learned it in a decent manner. He saw Wu Chen approaching the person as quickly as smoke, and when he was in front of him, Wu Chen sent out a palm, and the person flew away ten feet away. Xu fell to the ground, motionless.

Wu Chen didn't have time to see what kind of attire the man in the speed of light was wearing, so he repeated his trick and attacked the other three.

The black-robed old man could see it, but he was powerless to help, so he could only shout: "Be careful!"

Xing Yun seized the opportunity at this sound and slashed the black robe of the old man in black robe with his sword, causing blood to ooze from the wound immediately.

At this moment, another accomplice flew out, and the old man in black robe was distracted again. Xing Yun's sword was like a swimming dragon, and the old man suffered two more sword wounds.

Xing Yun had the upper hand at this time, and couldn't help but say: "You are so calculated that you are even with me, but you dare to think about taking Wu Chen's life, you are overestimating your own capabilities!"

The old man in black robe was very anxious. Wu Chen took action very quickly. Even if his accomplices wanted to take precautions, they were unable to fight back. The old man watched helplessly as another accomplice flew out.

The old man in black robe became anxious and shouted: "Run!" Then it turned into a puff of black smoke and dispersed into the distance with the wind.

He ran away, but the last person didn't have the ability to do that. There was no use for Wu Chen to take action again. Seeing three of his accomplices die, he was already confused. Moreover, he was facing Lao Ba, who had been hard on him before. He had basically no ability to fight back, and being so distracted at the moment gave Lao Ba a chance. One second he returned the sword with flying flowers, and the next second the tip of the sword pierced straight into his heart.

"Should we pursue him or not?" Xing Yun asked hesitantly.

Wu Chen stood firm and said, "No need to chase him. We will definitely meet him again when we get to Shuangxi Village. Let's let him live for two more days."

Xing Yun walked back with his sword and said sarcastically: "You know you can't catch up if you chase him. He runs fast unless you start at the same time as him..."

"Do you have the Shiquan Dabu Pill with you? Give me one right now!" Wu Chen walked up to Xu Da and asked anxiously when he saw the wounds on his chest and back.

"Shiquan Dabu? What?" Xing Yun took out a small green bottle from his waist, poured out a black pill, and put it into Xu Da's mouth, saying, "I only have this kind of medicine that protects the heart veins and helps heal wounds." of pills.”

Wu Chen watched Xu Da eat it, then he breathed a sigh of relief and helped Xu Da walk towards the carriage.

Xu Da grinned and said, "Just a few skin injuries are worth making a fuss about!"

Wu Chen suddenly remembered the green-light dart and said in surprise: "Are their swords poisonous? Let me see the wound quickly."

Xing Yun asked anxiously: "Why are you so noisy? If it was poisonous, would Xu Da still be standing now?"

Wu Chen was worried. After helping Xu Da get into the car, he took a look at the wound before giving up. Da Tou was also woken up. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Is it time for dinner?"

Wu Chen looked at Da Tou's dazed look and asked, "Did you have a dream just now?"

Datou yawned and shook his head and said, "No."

Wu Chen frowned. Although there was no danger just now, there were some situations that even scared him, but Big Tou didn't react.

Wu Chen didn't think about it carefully. He got off the carriage and looked at the sky. He ordered the boss and others to light a fire and cook, thinking that he would rest here tonight.

……

At dusk, several people gathered around the fire. Xu Da leaned against a tree and blamed himself: "Now that I think about it, I feel that I am a burden to follow." Xing Yun snorted and said, "What's the use of knowing now? Wu If Chen didn't let you follow him, you would have eaten him."

Wu Chen glared at Xing Yun and said, "Everyone is useful, if we don't have enough people this time, it's hard to say what the result will be."

Gu You also said: "We are still on the road. When we get to Shuangxi Village, we don't know how many people we will meet."

Yu Shian said:

"The role of the five hundred soldiers is only to guard the exit and entrance. If it is really dangerous, you still have to come. So, don't think that you are useless. If you have to say that you are useless, am I even more useless? At least It's useless on the road."

Xu Da lowered his head and said nothing.

Wu Chen changed the subject and said, "I didn't expect Shuangxi Village to be involved with the Ghost Mandrill Gang. I'm afraid this might cause some trouble."

Gu You hurriedly said: "When we were in Anping County, a lot of people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang died in our hands. Now even if they are involved, what can we do?"

Wu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's not about how many people they have left, but the nature of this matter has changed. Who is behind the Ghost Gang? It's Beiman, right? But Shuangxi Village is our own business. Let the Northern Barbarians get involved? And the people on the hillside today are also from foreign races, but I don’t know where they are from looking at their clothes."

"It seems like Shuangxi Village wants a lot!" Xing Yun said.

Wu Chen nodded and said: "I used to think it was for the throne, but later I thought it was for washing the ink. Now I really can't figure out what they want. Look, if they want the throne..."

Wu Chen suddenly stopped. He thought that there were some things that others should not know, and it would not be a good thing to know.

"How come you're holding on even though you're halfway through speaking?" Xing Yun asked anxiously.

Wu Chen said angrily, "Just by using you, the throne can be changed!"

Xing Yun blinked and looked at Gu You subconsciously. Gu You pursed his lips and said, "I understand what Wu Chen means. He wants to say that if they want to harm the official family, they have too many ways."

"It doesn't make sense to wash the ink." Xu Da slowly sat up straight and said: "The wash of the ink can only be worn on one person's hand, but they found so many people, but they were not from Shuangxi Village. Brother Wu had done it before. I asked, if these people really succeed, will they honestly hand over the ink washing to those people in Shuangxi Village? Unless they have a backup."

"Before, I thought that the people in Shuangxi Village knew some sorcery and might try to manipulate the souls of these people. Today I saw that people from the Ghost Mandrill Gang were also involved. They are also experts in this area. It would be difficult to deal with them like this. Do it.”

Wu Chen stood up as he spoke, glanced at the sky and said with a solemn expression: "You guys try to sleep in the car tonight. I want to see what other tricks they can come up with."

"Are you afraid that the two of them will join forces and send you some ghosts that you have never seen before?" Are there any other arrangements for you tonight?"

Wu Chen thought about it and felt that it was right. His expression immediately relaxed, and he sat back and said, "Anyway, since we know that the Mandrill Gang is involved, there is no harm in being careful."

"It's just you who needs to be careful. What does it have to do with us?" Xing Yun shrugged and asked, "We can't see those things."

Wu Chen frowned and turned to look at the boss and others and asked: "Which of you brought a wine flask, the kind you can put in your arms..."

As Wu Chen said that, his heart felt stinging. He didn't keep the small wine bottle given to him in his second year of high school. (end of this chapter)
