After Chai Yan and his party had breakfast, they began to pack their things and prepare to continue on their way.
Outside Hang Baiqiu's room, Chai Yan was arranging for Cheng Jiu and others to move the potatoes to the car.
Chai Yan yawned and looked a little listless.
Hang Baiqiu walked to Chai Yan and asked, "I heard that you solved a big case last night?"
Chai Yan turned to look at Hang Baiqiu and said listlessly: "Do you know?"
Hang Baiqiu curled his lips slightly and replied: "Can you not know? Those postmen have been talking non-stop early in the morning, and their words are all conveyed to you!"
Chai Yan immediately said: "No, no, no, hurry up and tell them not to do this, otherwise I will be proud, hehehe..."
As he said that, Chai Yan grinned.
"Look at you like this! I said you were fat and you still breathed!" Hang Baiqiu suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"Hahahaha..." Chai Yan simply smiled.
Hang Baiqiu suddenly tightened his face and stopped him: "Stop laughing!"
"What's wrong? No one offended you." Chai Yan was puzzled.
Hang Baiqiu asked, with the intention of asking for help, "Such a big thing happened last night. Why didn't you ask me to go with you?"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "You are not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night. Besides, the Mu Yue Kingdom delegation only let me in. Cheng Jiu and Wang Wangzhou were waiting outside for an hour.
,Fortunately you didn’t go with me, otherwise it would be difficult to wait..."
"According to what you said, I still have to thank you?" Hang Baiqiu said angrily.
Chai Yan waved his hand hurriedly and said cheekily: "No thank you, no thank you. Men should take care of women, hehe..."
Hang Baiqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he rolled his eyes at Chai Yan and exhaled: "Hurry up and tell me the whole story!"
"Ah?" Chai Yan was stunned and asked, "Don't you already know this? Why do you still need me to tell you?"
Hang Baiqiu said: "Those postmen said a lot of things here and there, but I didn't hear them clearly in many places. Why don't I ask you? Besides, I worked so hard to help you watch Tudou all night long, so I'm not happy to ask you anything?"
"
Chai Yan quickly apologized and nodded: "I'm happy, how can I not be happy? But I have to wait a little later. I'll tell you in the car after we set off, how about it?"
Hang Baiqiu blinked, nodded and said, "Okay, we'll tell you in the car."
Not long after, seven or eight baskets of potatoes were emptied out of the room.
Just as Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu were walking out, Xing Weiming and Xing Yichen trotted over.
Xing Weiming cupped his hands from a distance and said: "Master Chai, Sir Hang, I'm late to see you off, I'm sorry..."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "It's not too late, Xing Yicheng, you came just in time."
Xing Weiming came to the two of them and saluted Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu again.
"Master Chai, what happened last night was all thanks to you, otherwise, we would have been deceived by those Muyue people!" Xing Weiming said gratefully.
"It'll be nice if things are clarified." Chai Yan said calmly.
Hang Baiqiu asked: "Xing Yicheng, when will the Muyue Kingdom's delegation set off? The hour has passed..."
Xing Weiming was immediately annoyed and said helplessly: "Why are we setting off? Sir Hang, you don't know that those Muyue people were poisoned last night. A group of people haven't recovered yet. They say they can't bear the bumps of the carriages and horses, so they have to stay."
Come down and recuperate for a few days... Ouch, this little guy is so unlucky that he still has to stay with these people for a few days, ugh..."
Chai Yan kindly warned: "Xing Yicheng, actually you don't have to worry too much. Their second prince, Ahudala, is actually very reasonable. When something happens, you just need to discuss it with him. Don't take him with you."
If you stay angry, nothing will happen."
"Thank you, Mr. Chai, for reminding me. I will remember it," Xing Weiming thanked him.
Then, Xing Weiming said: "Master Chai, there is a peach tree behind our inn. It has peaches at this time. I ordered people to pick it early in the morning. I have put the carriage on it just now. There is nothing good in the countryside."
Don’t dislike it, keep it on the way to quench your thirst.”
Chai Yan said happily: "Okay, I quite like eating peaches... Sir Hang, what about you?"
Hang Baiqiu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Still... I quite like it..."
Xing Weiming is a real person. When he heard Chai Yan say that he likes to eat peaches, he immediately said: "Two adults, why don't you sit down for a while, and I will ask them to pick more and bring back more, so that everyone can share it.
Eat some, our peaches are particularly delicious!"
With that said, Xing Weiming turned around to leave. Chai Yan quickly stopped him and said, "No, Xing Yicheng, we are in a hurry to return to Beijing and cannot delay the enthronement ceremony."
"Oh! Right, right..." Xing Weiming reacted immediately, nodded and said: "It's important! I didn't think about it..."
Afterwards, Xing Weiming sent Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu outside the inn.
Halfway through, a postman suddenly ran out from inside and shouted in panic: "Xing Yicheng, it's not good, someone is dead..."
Xing Weiming thought he heard it wrong and asked hurriedly: "What did you say? Say it again?"
The postman ran closer and gasped: "Xing Yicheng, someone is dead! Someone in the Muyue Kingdom's mission committed suicide by cutting his wrists!"
"Ah?" Xing Weiming was stunned immediately, his face suddenly turned into a look of horror, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
When Chai Yan heard that someone cut his wrist and committed suicide, he asked in his mind: "Shangguan Peining, why did someone cut his wrist and bleed, and you didn't say anything in advance?"
Shangguan Peining calmly replied: "I am concentrating on meditation, how can I have time to pay attention to this? Besides, you don't allow me to take human blood to feed the treasure tree. I have long been accustomed to not hearing anything outside the window."
Chai Yan was speechless, so he asked the postman: "Who committed suicide?"
The postman swallowed hard and said calmly: "Sir, it's their...their deputy envoy, the man named Lu Bol..."
"It's him!" Chai Yan was surprised at first, but after thinking about it he no longer felt so surprised.
By doing this, Lu Bol probably couldn't face what was to come. He had become a traitor and sinner of Muyue Kingdom before he even arrived in Huaidu. He would also face the scorn and accusations of his own people for a long time to come.
, or even rough treatment, it would be better to die to apologize than to suffer!
Xing Weiming was already anxious and angry at this time. He gritted his teeth with hatred and stomped his feet: "This...this, what is this...I am so unlucky, so bad ass."
I've been miserable for eight lifetimes, alas!"
Hang Baiqiu frowned and said: "Chai Yan, there are people dead in the inn now, and the ones who died are Muyue people. It seems that we won't be able to leave for a while!"
Chai Yan also understood this and immediately said to Xing Weiming: "Xing Yicheng, please notify the Yamen immediately and ask them to send someone over..."
Xing Weiming immediately nodded and ran away quickly with the postman.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan said to Hang Baiqiu: "Sir Hang, let's go and take a look..."
"Okay!" Hang Baiqiu nodded vigorously and followed Chai Yan into the inn.
