The officer who responded sounded a little mysterious, which made Chen Yi even more curious.
He also wanted to know what the county magistrate had lost and why he went to such great lengths to look for it.
Chen Yi nodded slightly in agreement, then followed the officers and soldiers to a secluded place.
The soldier looked around and confirmed that it was relatively safe before he began to whisper in Chen Yi's ear.
However, after hearing the words of the officers and soldiers, Chen Yi's expression changed unpredictably.
Sometimes serious, sometimes angry, sometimes wanting to laugh. It was hard for the people around him to understand. Too surprised, Chen Yi blurted out:
"Are you telling the truth? The county magistrate's concubine is really missing? And she's been missing for several days, so the town is under martial law because the concubine is missing."
Chen Yi's reaction frightened the officers and soldiers next to him so much that they almost couldn't hold back their expressions.
If the county magistrate's secret were to be made public, not only would his official position be in jeopardy, but his head would also be in danger.
"Oh, sir! Can you please be quieter? Are you going to kill me?
Didn’t you just promise me not to tell anyone? You are trying to drive me to death now.”
The officer had a mournful look on his face and complained to Chen Yi, feeling that he had exposed the county magistrate's biggest secret.
He felt that the knife was already on his neck and he had one foot halfway into the coffin.
Chen Yi tried hard to hold back his laughter. He said seriously:
"Sorry, sorry, I was too surprised just now.
That's why I blurted it out. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you. My people won't say anything careless, you can rest assured.
Then you guys continue with your work, I won’t bother you any more.”
Chen Yi covered his stomach which hurt from laughing just now and returned to Yuan Xichen's carriage again.
Then, on the other side of the carriage, she started whispering with Yuan Yi again.
He had just said he would keep it secret, but he turned around and told someone else. The officers and soldiers nearby saw it and regretted it so much that they almost felt their intestines turning green.
"Yuan Yi, come here quickly! I have a big secret to tell you. I'm telling you the truth, it's a huge secret.
The county magistrate's concubine is missing, and he has been looking for her in a big way recently, and has been searching for several days.
Oh my god! This incident is not a big deal, but it is not a small one either.
The person has been lost for so long, there is definitely no point in finding him back.
But the magistrate's making such a big fuss must have brought bad luck to him."
Chen Yi, looking like he was enjoying the fun, didn't mind the trouble. He kept chattering away, repeating everything the officers and soldiers had just said to him to Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi's mouth twitched as he listened to this. Seeing Chen Yi's heartless look, he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I get it. It seems like we won't be able to find this person anytime soon.
But let’s not meddle in other people’s business and just get on with our journey.
Later, you should pay attention to the news of the lower shadow 20. If he says there is news, bring the person back in time.
Let's continue on our journey, it's getting late. The master's health has improved a lot.
But we can't delay too much time. I can't find an antidote for the poison in his body for a while.
So I have to go back to Dongyu to find the "poison doctor" to detoxify him."
Yuan Yi pretended that it had nothing to do with him and spoke seriously.
He really wanted to get to "Dongyu" as soon as possible so that he could help Yuan Xichen find the antidote.
Avoiding that poison would severely damage his body. If he delayed too much, he would be truly paralyzed. That would be a huge blow to Yuan Xichen.
Seeing that Chen Yi and his group were about to pass by, the officers and soldiers consciously made way on both sides, intending to continue the investigation after they left.
"My Lord, take care! Have a safe journey!"
The soldier just now spoke to Chen Yi in a flattering manner.
He hoped to send them away as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't be able to afford any problems if they encountered any later.
"Gee! Gee! Gee!" Chen Yi held the reins tightly with both hands. He patted the horse's back vigorously, and the carriage began to run forward quickly.
The carriages behind also followed quickly. Behind Chen Yi's carriage, there were also many carriages.
The whole procession looked quite impressive. The common people nearby all took the initiative to move out of the way, fearing that they would be kicked by the horses.
Yuan Yi returned to the carriage and carefully helped Yuan Xichen check the wound.
I found that his wound had basically healed. It seems that the effect of this wound medicine is still very good.
Although Yuan Xichen's wound was stitched, he used special stitches that did not need to be removed, so there was no need to worry about infection.
Yuan Xichen lay quietly on the carriage bed. He looked haggard and emaciated, displaying a morbid "beauty."
"Chen Yi, when you pass by later, stop for a while at the place where we did yesterday. I saw a restaurant there yesterday. We won't stop there at noon.
Hurry up and go to the restaurant later, we will pack some food for lunch."
Yuan Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage and spoke loudly to Chen Yi who was driving.
He still wanted to go back earlier, so he tried his best to save time.
Chen Yi was outside the carriage and also heard Yuan Yi's words, but he did not refute it.
We should really hurry up and pack our meals, which is more convenient. This way we can save some time at noon.
"Okay, I understand. I'll stop there for a while and then give them some instructions to rest for a while.
Prepare the food and eat non-stop at noon. If you feel hungry, just find a way to have a bite."
Chen Yi tilted his head slightly and looked at Yuan Yi twice. His thoughts were the same as Yuan Yi's.
"Whoa!" Chen Yi drove the carriage quickly and arrived at the door of the restaurant. It was almost noon now, and there were still quite a few people in the restaurant.
"Everyone, listen up! Rest where you are! Some of you will go to the restaurant and pack some food.
Just take some steamed buns and save them for the journey. After packing, we will set off immediately."
Chen Yi dismounted and looked inside the restaurant, and found that there were quite a few people inside.
When the people in the restaurant saw so many people outside, the waiter came over quickly.
"Hello, sir, please come in! What could you like? You can tell me directly. We have a wide variety of dishes. Is there anything you would like?"
The waiter, with a smile on his face and a towel draped over his shoulders, came to Chen Yi in a swift and decisive manner and asked respectfully.
