When Chen Chao returned home, he was silent for a long time. He sat on the porch and looked at the stove that was bought by someone in the cold winter last year and had been on the porch since then. Then he raised his head and saw the wild cat on the roof opposite.
Now that the winter snow has melted, it is inevitable that there will be some noise when walking on the roof.
Chen Chao looked at it for a long time before taking out a piece of dried meat left over from last winter and throwing it on the roof.
The wild cat picked up the piece of dried meat, which was the size of a palm. Without any hesitation, it ran towards the distance and soon disappeared.
Seeing the wild cat running away, Chen Chao averted his gaze and regained his concentration. Then he went to get the letter and started writing in the corridor.
Chen Chao rubbed his wrist, looked at the dusty inkstone, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and wanted to scoop some water from the water tank in the yard, but when he looked up, he found that the water tank in the yard had already been filled with dust.
It was damaged in the last fight. I looked down at the ground again and saw several deep pits and cracks on the ground. .??.
Chen Chao laughed at himself and said, "Damn, this is the right time."
After getting up, Chen Chao went out again, bought a large vat, and invited some masons back to repair the courtyard.
Sitting on the side, Chen Chao began to grind, and the fragrance of ink gradually began to rise. He dipped a little ink into the brush in his hand and raised it in the air. Looking at the yellowish paper in front of him, Chen Chao squinted. This scene was really familiar and yet strange.
After thinking for a moment, he began to write.
After holding a knife for many years, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable holding a pen again.
However, as time passed, he quickly finished writing the letter.
While waiting for the ink stains on it to dry, Chen Chao glanced at the craftsmen who were repairing the courtyard over there.
Finally he put away the letter, got up and left.
…
…
The new county magistrate has arrived, and today is the day Mi Ke leaves.
Two carriages stopped at the gate of the city. There was a guard beside the carriage, riding a tall horse. They were the guards who escorted the new magistrate, and now they were escorting Mi Ke away.
Although Tianqing County is peaceful, monsters are still rampant in other places in Daliang Dynasty. This road has high mountains and long rivers, and the journey is long. No one knows what they will encounter along the way. With these few people, it can be considered
There is some protection.
Mi Ke was saying goodbye to all his colleagues.
After years of wasting time, he finally took a step forward. Mi Ke's old face was full of smiles.
It's just that the government officials who have worked with him for many years are not that happy. As for Chief Zhang, his face is even more ugly, as if he has eaten a dead rat.
There are also some people in the distance, silently seeing each other off.
Having said goodbye to his colleagues, Mi Ke has not yet boarded the carriage, but kept looking at the city gate.
Chen Chao said before that he would come to see me off today.
After several years of interaction, Mi Ke knew very well what kind of person Chen Chao was. If he said he would come, he would definitely come. Mi Ke was determined not to doubt this.
A moment later, when he saw the black robe appearing, he laughed again.
Several guards on horseback in the distance saw the black shirt and bowed their hands in greeting.
Not only because of the opponent's status as a guardian, but also because they have never encountered monsters since entering Tianqing County.
This is enough to prove the achievements of the young guardian envoy.
Seeing Chen Chao appear, Section Chief Mi breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice and said, "Brother Chen, I really thought you weren't coming."
From Mi Ke's point of view, it was okay for anyone not to come, but not Chen Chao.
Chen Chao nodded, glanced in front of him, and then said straight to the point, "I have something I want to trouble my brother about."
Mi Ke couldn't help but frown when he saw Chen Chao's solemn expression, "Let's go and talk to the side."
There are many people here, and although Mi Ke doesn't know what Chen Chao is going to say, he is just worried that the news will leak out.
The two of them walked a few steps aside and stood under the city wall. Mi Ke nodded, and Chen Chao slowly said, "I have killed all the people Brother Mi saw before."
"What?!"
Mi Ke was startled and his eyes widened. Fortunately, this place was some distance away and no one could hear him. Realizing that he had lost his composure, he still lowered his voice and asked hoarsely, "You said you wanted to kill all those monks?"
killed?!"
This matter can be
It was more terrifying than Chen Chao's attempt to kill those monsters. When dealing with them before, Mi Ke was frightened because of those people's status as monks.
But that person who he thought was a god was now killed by Chen Chao.
"They are all Qi Refiners from outside the country. They came to Tianqing County with ulterior motives. Moreover, the one named Guo Xi had left something on my brother before. It was the Qi Refiner's sinister method. It can
It seemed like I died of illness for half a year, but in fact I didn't even give him a chance to be reincarnated." Chen Chao looked at Mi Ke and said solemnly, "As soon as he died, these methods disappeared and never happened again.
No more."
Mi Ke's eyes widened. He was a scholar, but he had never practiced, so he only had a superficial understanding of these things. When he thought of the young man's behavior before, Mi Ke was already convinced of this, "It turned out to be
So? Thank you so much, Brother Chen.”
"Don't worry, with the friendship between you and me, I will never tell others about this." Mi Ke's eyes were firm, "Even if I didn't eliminate such vicious methods for me, Brother Chen has done a good job for the people of Tianqing County over the years.
You have done so many things, and it is worthy of me to keep this secret for you."
Chen Chao shook his head, "Brother, I misunderstood."
The trick left by Guo Xi on Mi Ke was told to Chen Chao by Zhou Gouqi, who lived across the street. The trick was ordinary and closely related to the monk who cast the spell. If the monk died, the trick would naturally disappear.
Therefore, it is true that Chen Chao killed Guo Xi and indirectly saved Mi Ke's life.
Mi Ke was startled.
Chen Chao continued, "After those people died, there were mysterious means to inform the sect that this matter cannot be hidden."
After a pause, Chen Chao said word by word, "What I want to ask my brother to do is to go to Qingshan County before arriving at Wanshan County and inform the governor's Yamen of the news that I, the four Qi Refiners, have been killed. At the same time,
, I hope I can publicize this matter as much as possible!"
"Why is this?"
Mi Ke didn't expect that Chen Chao not only refused to let him keep the secret, but even wanted to publicize the matter. He looked at Chen Chao with a puzzled face, unable to understand why Chen Chao would do this.
The monk's attitude has always been humble. If he knew
Four Qi Masters were killed by the imperial guards, which would definitely cause huge waves.
"Brother Chen, do you know the relationship between this? If it were known that you had killed these Qi Masters, no matter the reason, I am afraid that you would not be able to escape death. Will the imperial court come forward for a small guardian like you?
"?" These words were a little ruthless, but that was the fact. Mi Ke lowered his voice, a little anxious and worried. Since he knew that Chen Chao had saved his life, how could he watch Chen Chao die?
Chen Chao shook his head, "If this matter had not been spread, I would have been dead. The bigger this matter got, the better I would have had a chance of survival."
Mi Ke thought for a moment, but still didn't quite understand the reason. He wanted to speak, but when he saw Chen Chao wave his hand, Mi Ke said in a deep voice, "Since I have my own secrets in my heart, I won't ask any questions and just press my button."
Just do what you say.”
Chen Chao once again urged, "Brother Mi must let everyone in Qingshan County know about this matter."
Mi Ke nodded without hesitation.
Chen Chao bowed his hands and said nothing.
then.
Mi Ke came to the carriage, and the waiting guard asked, "Master Mi, are you ready to set off?"
Mi Ke nodded and boarded the carriage, but then said, "Change the route and go to Qingshan County first."
The guard was startled and said hesitantly, "Didn't your Excellency take office as Wanshan County?"
Mi Ke said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not confused yet, and I also know the laws of Daliang."
The guard didn't say anything more, and just silently pinched the horse's belly with his legs.
The carriage slowly left.
Chen Chao stood in the distance and watched silently.
Before letting Mi Ke go to Qingshan County to spread the news about this matter, he had already written to inform the Li Zhen guard envoy, but he did not know about this matter. Whether the Li Zhen guard envoy dared to get involved, what was his original intention?
, what is it again? Does the imperial court know about the Dragon Veins, so in addition to writing a letter, he also needs to make some preparations.
But he knew very well that no matter how big things got, whether in Qingshan County or Weizhou Prefecture, there would still be something missing.
