The cause of Wuyinyu's incident was considered too complicated, and the ending made Chen Baiqi laugh and cry. Fortunately, the involvement was not big after all, and it did not create an unmanageable situation.

This is also reflected from the side. The greater a person's ability, the less he knows how to express his inner thoughts in the simplest way.

For example, Hou Qing.

As soon as she made a move, Su Fang sensed something strange and came over to ask about the progress of the matter. Chen Baiqi thought about it and decided not to make matters worse.

So she overturned her previous conclusion and claimed that she had carefully inspected the "Jade Mountain Sculpture" and found that it was not the "Five-Yellow Jade" as initially thought. The motives of the businessman Bai Qi were indeed suspicious, and someone could be sent to investigate first.

Monitor for a period of time to see if there are any clues.

Su Fang was half-convinced by Chen Baiqi's inconsistent statements. What he "believed" was that the businessman Bai Qi was acting suspiciously and had unknown origins. What he "suspected" was that there was really nothing wrong with the jade mountain sculpture?

If there is really no problem, what is the explanation for the symptoms he felt that day, and what is the explanation for Lin Qucheng's abnormality in the past few days?

Chen Baiqi pondered for a moment, sighed, and decided to mix the truth with the lie: "It's not the jade's problem, but the medicinal fragrance imbued with the jade."

Su Fang opened his eyes slightly and asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"

Chen Baiqi said: "The Jade Scripture man has been immersed in a strange drug for a long time. This drug must have a hallucinogenic effect. Over time, the jade body has been fused with this drug, making his jade body carry a very light fragrance.

, if an average person with a sensitive sense of smell inhales a large amount for a while, they will feel like they are stepping into the clouds, their body will be light and their soul will float, and they will fall into an illusion. Over time, they will become dependent on it, and will eventually be confused by it, and gradually disappear.

"

"What kind of medicine is it?" Su Fang asked immediately.

Chen Baiqi shook his head and looked at him quite speechlessly, as if the question he asked was purely to embarrass her.

"I don't know what kind of medicine is used to rejuvenate the immortality. I am not the person who made the jade mountain sculpture. I know that I still get it by taking risks."

When Su Fang heard this, he patted her shoulder in a comforting manner. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he was startled: "Since you knew there was something wrong with this jade, why did you send it back to Lin Mansion?"

Could it be that because Lin Qucheng and her were not at odds with each other on weekdays, she simply let the old man Lin Qucheng fend for himself?

Generously seeing the meaning of Su Fang's eyes, Chen Baiqi brushed his hand away and said angrily: "As far as I know, if this weird medicinal fragrance is not soaked continuously, it will gradually dissipate over time.

It will lose its psychedelic effect in half a month, and it is not fatal, unlike the five-yellow jade mentioned before. Besides, I have already dealt with the jade mountain sculpture before sending it back, so it will not harm him."

"Actually, I planned to keep it for a few more days for observation, but I promised Lord Lin to return the Jade Mountain Eagle the next day. If I break my promise, I'm afraid he will pick up his four-foot sword and arrive on the battlefield soon.

.”

Chen Baiqi laughed at him.

Maybe her eyes were too harmless, Su Fang wasn't afraid at all, he grinned.

He was not surprised to hear that Chen Baiqi had handled the matter so well. What he said before was just to tease her. He knew her to some extent. She was not a soft persimmon, but she was not a sinister person who cared about trivial matters.

She looks delicate and gentle, but her personality is surprisingly generous, like a real man!

"Speaking of which, how did you borrow this jade mountain sculpture? These days, Lin Qucheng cherishes this jade more than his new beautiful concubine. I asked Wei Yan earlier, and he was so stupid that he laughed. I was stunned.

If you don’t tell me, then you will tell me.”

"Oh, have you eaten?" Chen Bai tilted his head and asked with concern.

Su Fang looked dissatisfied and said: "Hey, what are you doing to change the subject? This is not a serious conversation..."

Chen Baiqi ignored him and walked forward first, saying with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you are here today. I, Mu Xiu, happen to have a pot of Pingyang mixed vegetables and mutton stewed in the kitchen. Let's drink a cup together later?"

Su Fang's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ha, it's rare for you to cook again. The stone-boiled sour fish you made that day was really delicious. It's still mouth-watering when I think about it now. That's good, it's been cold these past two days.

Come down, the mutton stew will just warm you up."

"Then you have nothing else to do today?"

"It's all small things. Sharing mutton stew with Mr. Chen is a big deal."

Chen Baiqi saw that he lost his reserve when he heard about the food, and his face looked full of yearning and joy, which made him smile at the corners of his eyes.

"By the way, where is Mu'er?" Su Fang asked.

"I'm studying in the government. It's rare that you have a free day today, and I also have a rest. So it would be better to choose a day when the sun comes up. After school, I will ask him to come back and formally kowtow to you."

"You, are you too casual?" Su Fang said dissatisfied.

Chen Baiqi replied to him: "General Wei Yan proclaimed the rites, performed the six rites and bowed to the teacher... Do you think there is any step that is not cautious enough?"

Su Fang was stunned: "Have you been ready this morning?"

"Well, it's just you." Chen Bai nodded, his face serious, but his bright eyes revealed a bit of cunning.

Su Fang snorted, trying to be serious, but in the end he couldn't hold back his laughter: "Haha... Okay, let's go, let's go, I, Su Fang, went out to see the good days today, and I have a full stomach with delicious food.

Fortunately, I have a well-behaved and intelligent disciple."

The two people chatted and laughed and gradually walked away. The concierge stared at the backs of the two people from a distance, sighing with envy in his heart. The relationship between the prime minister and their master was really good. He often came to visit him without saying anything, and he was reluctant to leave once he came.

——

Chen Baiqi entrusted the matter of "Five-Yellow Jade" to Su Fang, and Su Fang turned around and reported the matter to King Qi, so the matter came to an end for the time being.

So day after day, the King of Qi finally received a secret letter from Wei and Zhao to start the war. The huge baggage that had been prepared by Qi State finally needed to set off.

From the very beginning, it was decided that Chen Baiqi would be in charge of escorting the baggage. Firstly, the matter was so important that she needed to find a reliable person to take charge of it. Secondly, she followed Tian Wen, who was still Lord Mengchang, to the Kingdom of Wei to participate in the League of Nations of the Six Nations, and shined brilliantly.

The princes of the various countries were deeply impressed, so they also expressed the hope that she would be responsible for the affairs behind the war.

Autumn is cool, especially when the sun is out. Although it is not as cold as winter, the wind is howling and ice grows on your cheeks.

On the day of departure, Chen Bai got up half an hour earlier than usual. It was still dark before dawn, and it was dark outside the walled courtyard. However, the lights were turned on in Chen's house, and there was a bright yellow light in the dark night. She went to see if there were still people there.

Chen Mu was sleeping soundly. She didn't tell him yesterday that she was leaving today, so Chen Mu slept peacefully.

After explaining some matters to the servant, Chen Baiqi left a piece of letter on Chen Mu's bedside, thinking that he would be unhappy when he woke up and found that she had left, so he left a letter in the hope of making him happy.

If this child knew that she was leaving today, she would probably not be able to sleep well at night and would get up early in the morning to see her off. She didn't want him to feel uncomfortable, so she didn't tell him in advance.

As soon as she went out, a cool breeze blew up and the autumn leaves flew around. The servants fetched a cloak and put it on for her. She put her brimmed hat on, and a group of guards led the way with lanterns. When they left the house, a carriage was already there.

Waiting quietly at the door for a long time.

"Sir." A young general came out from behind the curtain.

Chen Baiqi waved to him: "Get in the car."

The general nodded and stepped back, while Chen Baiqi stepped on the pedal and stepped into the carriage.

Cars rumbled on the quiet streets heading out of the city.

Accompanying her this time to escort the baggage was a young general named Yao Li, one of Wei Yan's subordinates. This man was highly skilled in martial arts, but had a straightforward personality that easily offended others, so he never made any achievements in the court. Knowing that Chen Baiqi was going to the front line,

Wei Yan recommended this person to Chen Baiqi.

After investigation, Chen Baiqi agreed with Yao Li and found the right opportunity to find a suitable job for him. Therefore, Yao Li was promoted by Chen Baiqi and was trustworthy. Therefore, the King of Qi sent Yao Li after consulting her opinion.

He followed along to escort Chen Baiqi to the front line.

After leaving the city, they drove all the way to the king's army camp outside the city. The camp was ablaze, and an army of a thousand soldiers had already been gleaming with silver armor. They had assembled like a flood, and heavy baggage trucks were lined up in two formations.

There is a long queue, ready to go.

When Chen Bai arrived at the camp, he got out of the car. Yao Li followed behind him. She lifted the brim of her hat and walked straight into the camp. All the soldiers she met along the way stopped to greet her.

Not far away, Chen Baiqi borrowed the light to see Su Fang and Wei Yan standing in front of the team, and there was another person standing in front of them. He was tall and tall, wearing a black robe and a hood, but his face could not be seen clearly at first glance.

But there is no need to guess who Chen Baiqi is who can make Su Fang and Wei Yan willing to bow down and accompany them.

She was slightly surprised and raised her arms to ask Yao Li to stay where he was. She immediately stepped forward and saluted him as if he were an outsider: "My lord, why are you here?"

The wind was blowing and the torch was swaying. King Qi took off his hat, revealing the handsome and charming face underneath: "I thought you were leaving today, but I couldn't sleep well anyway, so I got up to see you off."

Chen Baiqi was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Her trip was confidential, so she couldn't go out in a big way. She thought that having Su Fang and Yan come to see them off meant that their friendship had grown stronger, but she didn't expect King Qi to come too, so she came as soon as he came, and said this

Emotional words.

Su Fang and Wei Yan were also very discerning. As soon as they saw the two chatting, they stepped aside and let them talk in private for a while.

In fact, they had already said goodbye when they were chatting and drinking with Chen Baiqi. That is to say, King Qi had not seen Chen Baiqi in the past few days, and he did not know what the quarrel between the two was, and they did not say a word, so he called them two in the middle of the night.

We all left the city together to see him off.

To say that this was really unseemly and even out of line, but who would make the lord happy? He was coming to see "Chen Huanxian" off and they couldn't stop him, so they could only accompany him.

King Qi was speechless when he saw her. When he saw her in trouble, he finally softened his heart and thought that he should not push her too hard.

After wandering around for several nights, thinking about the past, and being helpless for a long time, he finally understood his feelings. He was not just a ruler and minister towards "Chen Huanxian", he longed to get more from her.

But it was obvious that "Chen Huanxian" was avoiding her. He knew that she looked weak and easily broken, but in fact she was strong-willed, so even if he had other thoughts about her, he did not want to force her and could only induce her in a step-by-step manner.

Today was about to set off, so it was really not the right time to talk about this kind of thing, so he followed her wishes and said something official: "I will return immediately after completing the mission. I can't live without you, and the court also needs you."

Chen Baiqi saw that he had put away the deep concentration in his eyes and restored the atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers. She breathed a sigh of relief and also thought about joking.

She smiled in surprise: "Isn't it too disrespectful to our allies to just drop everything and leave?"

The King of Qi smiled coldly, but did not take it seriously: "The battlefield is not a place for a weak scholar like you. If this matter had not been important, and Zhao and Wei had seconded the request, I would never have sent you on this trip.

.”

To be honest, since Chen Baiqi accidentally woke up from the dragon bed last time and vaguely noticed King Qi's strange thoughts, she didn't know how to get along with Tian Wen calmly. She didn't know whether Tian Wen was bent or was still in bed.
To be continued...
