The lobby of the inn.
Feng Chi asked the waiter to bring a pot of wine and two side dishes.
Thinking about the message, Chen Wu's palms were sweating. He rubbed them on his clothes, looking out, and asked absentmindedly: "Feng Chi, what do you want to say?"
Seeing his anxious look, Feng Chi's eyes were filled with even more doubts. "Have you encountered any difficulties recently?"
Hearing this, Chen Wu suddenly clenched his hands and grasped the corner of his clothes tightly.
"No, why do you ask?"
Feng Chi raised his head, drank the glass of wine and sighed.
"We are all people who can only rely on ourselves. After years of hard work, I finally got promoted to the position of deputy captain of the Royal Guards. I had given up and thought that this was the end of my life."
When he said this, his face glowed with a light that made anyone feel happy.
"But this time, Commander Zhao is thinking of us. As long as you and I escort that person to Luozhou safely and return to Beijing next year, we will definitely be promoted again!"
Having said this, Feng Chi drank another glass. This time, his heart was filled with passion and his eyes were filled with hope for the future.
Seeing his expression, Chen Wu sneered in his heart.
Zhao Chengwen has risen to prominence thanks to his family background, and his sister has married the crown prince, so he will have a bright future.
I gave you a little bit of food through my fingers, and you started wagging your tail? What a good dog! He lowered his eyelids, picked up the chopsticks, and took a bite of the side dish.
"I know. We work so hard to climb up the social ladder. Isn't it to bring honor to our family, live a good life, marry a good wife, and have a warm bed with children?"
Hearing what he said, Feng Chi blinked.
That's what I mean, but why does it feel like something is not right?
Chen Wu put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass, clinked it against his own glass, then tilted his head back and drank it all.
"Okay, I'm still a little uncomfortable, so I won't chat with you anymore."
Looking at his back, Feng Chi had a complicated expression.
Didn't you say you had a stomachache? How could you actually drink alcohol? ...
Upstairs, after Chu You ordered Shisan to go out and investigate the suspicious person, he came to Yaoyao's room. This was a big deal.
"What is this?"
He stared in curiosity at the square object with small squares of different colors painted on it.
It looks a bit like the Lu Ban lock.
But it seems more fun than that? "Second brother?"
Chu Yaoyao, who was originally pouting and fighting the Rubik's Cube angrily, put down the Cube immediately when she heard his voice.
"Brother, are you done?"
"I guess so." Chu You replied and reached out to pick up the Rubik's Cube.
She placed her long, bony fingers on the Rubik's Cube and turned it, imitating what she had just done.
Seeing the piece that had already been put together being messed up again, he looked at a certain little kid with a guilty conscience.
Seeing that the other party was not paying attention to this side, he simply sat on the chair and started playing.
It only took Chu You a cup of tea to figure it out.
He held up the restored Rubik's Cube and looked at Yaoyao with a little pride, but he didn't expect that the little guy was sleeping soundly with his lips smacking.
Laughing and shaking his head, he went forward to help cover her with the quilt, then quietly closed the door.
After giving some instructions to Ah Shi who was guarding the door, Te naturally took the Rubik's Cube back to his room next door.
…
At night, Feng Chi, who had been thinking hard downstairs for the whole afternoon, decided to talk to Chen Wu again.
He felt that this guy was about to go astray, and as a good brother, he had to give him a hand.
I didn't want to go back to the room, but Chen Wu was not there.
He was about to go out to look for it, and just as he was about to turn around, he caught a glimpse under the bed and found a purse.
"This kid is always forgetful."
He picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly changed.
"What are you doing?!"
Chen Wu's voice suddenly came from behind.
When Chen Wu saw the purse in his hand, he walked over quickly and snatched it back.
"Don't touch this!"
Seeing how nervous and cherishing he was, Feng Chi's heart, which wanted to help him, calmed down and his guess became more certain.
"Oh, it looks like you have a crush on someone."
As he said this, he nudged Chen Wu's shoulder with his elbow, looking like he was saying, 'You're really not nice.'
"You kept it a secret, kid. If I hadn't found this purse, you wouldn't even bother inviting me to have a drink on your wedding day, right?"
Speaking of this, Chen Wu showed a shy smile on his face.
Then, not knowing what he thought of, he looked at Feng Chi deeply and said something meaningful.
"How could that be? No matter where or when, I'll always buy you a drink."
Seeing his expression and hearing his ambiguous tone, Feng Chi felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
But he pretended not to hear, "By the way, where did you go just now?"
Chen Wu put the purse close to his body and said, "My stomach is still uncomfortable, so I went to the clinic again."
"I'm going downstairs to have some midnight snack. Do you want to join me?" Feng Chi said as he walked out the door.
Chen Wu sat on the bed, smiled and shook his head, "No, go ahead and eat more."
After all, there will be no chance in the future.
Feng Chi closed the door with goose bumps all over his body.
The moment the door was closed, his expression became solemn. He did not go downstairs to eat, but went up to the third floor.
Chu You's room.
"What? Are you telling the truth?!"
Feng Chi nodded cautiously and continued speaking.
"My mother is an embroiderer, so I know a little about embroidery and fabrics."
"The fabric, silk thread and embroidery method used in the purse are clearly what Xiyue women usually use!"
Chu You pondered for a moment, then looked at Shisan, and finally looked at Feng Chi.
"I know about this matter, but don't make it public for now. When you go back, keep a close eye on Chen Wu, but don't let him notice anything, so as not to alert the enemy."
Feng Chi bowed his head respectfully, "I obey your command!"
After he left, Chu You looked at Thirteen and said, "Go on."
"Chen Wu did go to tip off again. I heard vaguely that they said they wanted to bury a few barrels of medicine on the road we had to pass."
Thirteen carefully recalled what he overheard, "He also said that he would definitely catch us all in one fell swoop."
Drugs? It must be explosives.
A few barrels of...
I don’t know whether Xiyue’s explosives are as powerful as the ones they mixed.
Chu You rubbed his brows and asked, "Did they tell me where it was buried?"
If that doesn't work, they'll just change the route.
But what if innocent people were hurt? Chu You felt uneasy when he thought of this possibility.
Thirteen shook his head slowly, "They are marked on the map. I didn't see them, nor did I hear them."
Chu You paced back and forth anxiously, his eyes fell on the Rubik's Cube on the table. He turned around and strode out.
Let’s go and find out what Yaoyao has to say.
Come to the door of the next room.
Hmm, there’s no light, so I guess he’s asleep?
He raised his hand hesitantly, then slowly put it down.
Actually, there's still time to ask tomorrow morning, right?
In the end, Chu You chose to knock on the door.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Yaoyao, Second Brother wants to see you."
After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the room, so he knocked again, still no movement.
Now he looked a little flustered.
Something was wrong. Even if Yaoyao was sleeping soundly, it was impossible for Ten to not hear it with such vigilance! Thirteen listened carefully for a while and exclaimed, "Sir, there is no one in the room!"
"What?!"
