C8 Causing Chaos in Suzhou
Three days ago, Loong Yin had secretly ordered Chen Xiaowu and Mo Yan to leave overnight.
In the Imperial Palace, Loong Yin had released fake news that Lee Yuhan would be appointed three days later. He asked the Left Prime Minister's party to make trouble first before sending out a fake team.
This move was also to reduce the chances of Chen Xiaowu being assassinated.
When Mo Yan escorted Chen Xiaowu safely to Suzhou, he discovered that the entire Suzhou was heavily guarded, and Lee Yuhan's portrait was even pasted on the city gate.
Chen Xiaowu had never seen such a scene before. He was so scared that he immediately ran back.
Mo Yan picked him up and said with disdain, "I've seen cowards, but I've never seen someone as useless as you."
Chen Xiaowu felt wronged. "Lord Mo, as you can see, the city gate is heavily guarded and my portrait is pasted on it..."
Mo Yan's face darkened. There was a saying that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Don't forget your current identity. How many people spend their entire lives to appoint a Viceroy?"
Chen Xiaowu lowered his eyes, feeling helpless.
This position was given by the Emperor. It was not like he was fighting for it...
Mo Yan couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Chen Xiaowu's behavior. "Since you don't dare to investigate, then let me do it!"
"Lord Mo, wait a moment." Chen Xiaowu quickly pulled Mo Yan's robe. "I know a place that can pass through the city gate guards and lead to Suzhou."
Mo Yan stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at him. "Where?"
Chen Xiaowu hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind. "Don't worry about the place. Lord Mo, do you know any Light-body Technique?"
Mo Yan was very confident in his Light-body Technique. "Not only do you know it, but you also know it well."
However, when Mo Yan followed Chen Xiaowu to the outskirts of Suzhou and spent six hours climbing a tall mountain, he looked at the bottomless abyss under his feet and cursed angrily.
"Lee Yuhan, are you messing with me?" Mo Yan said angrily, "This height is more than enough to kill you!"
Chen Xiaowu's eyes turned red. He pointed at a rusty chain that was hidden by the cliff. "You didn't see it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
... ""
The anger from earlier was instantly condensed. Mo Yan was stunned on the spot and remained silent.
Chen Xiaowu did not pay attention to Mo Yan. He took out a rope that was as thick as his wrist from his bag and tightly wrapped it around his waist.
"I am useless, but I never lie."
Chen Xiaowu tied the other end of the rope to a huge rock while he climbed on the chain that ran across the cliff.
Before he could even take a few steps, Chen Xiaowu's hands and feet kept shaking. He just happened to touch the part where the moss grew. His hands slipped and his body fell.
Chen Xiaowu was hanging in the air. He could not see the bottom of the ground. He could not help screaming, "Lord Mo, help!"
Seeing Chen Xiaowu's entire body slide down, he heard a strong wind. Mo Yan nimbly pulled him up and pulled him up.
Chen Xiaowu was scared out of his wits. His face was pale. After he was saved, he tightly hugged Mo Yan's waist, not daring to let go.
Mo Yan looked at the hands on his waist, but did not tell him to let go. "Sorry, I was impulsive just now."
"Lord Mo is anxious about the case. It is understandable." Chen Xiaowu was trembling all over. "Although it is true that he hates me, but can we enter Suzhou first? This place is really scary."
"En."
Mo Yan roughly observed the entire chain. He calculated the position of his feet and used his inner energy to hold Chen Xiaowu horizontally as a balance point.
Chen Xiaowu could only close his eyes and comfort himself in his heart. He was sure that he could pass through this place.
Mo Yan's expression was cold. After stepping on the fulcrum, he immediately flew to the other one and jumped repeatedly. It took him nearly half a day to reach the messy cemetery in the western part of Suzhou.
He pushed away the weeds. Chen Xiaowu's limbs went limp and he collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
Mo Yan was slightly panting, but he did not show any signs of fatigue. After surveying his surroundings, he found a place and sat down to rest.
At this time, Chen Xiaowu suddenly stood up and searched around, but he did not see any traces of the package.
"Lord Mo, where is the package?"
"I didn't take it."
Chen Xiaowu held his stomach weakly. "Huh? Then it's over. I haven't eaten for two days. I'm starving..."
Mo Yan heard him and without thinking, he took out a flattened steamed bun from his pocket and handed it to him. "I saved it before. Eat it."
Chen Xiaowu immediately became energized. "How can I be embarrassed? It was all thanks to you that I was able to survive."
Mo Yan deliberately reached out his hand to ask for it back. "If you don't want it, then give it back to me."
"No, no, no, I'll eat it. I was just being polite with you." Chen Xiaowu immediately took a big bite.
"You won't be able to stop me if I eat it." Mo Yan shook his head and endured it. He rolled his eyes at Mo Yan.
After Chen Xiaowu finished a mantou, it was obvious that he had some strength. He got up from the ground and brushed off the weeds on his body.
"Lord Mo, since we have already entered the Suzhou, what should we do next?"
Mo Yan said concisely. "Find the allocation book and find out who was responsible for repairing the dam."
Chen Xiaowu hesitated. "The city is under martial law. That Lord Pricker Shi must have been prepared."
Mo Yan snorted. This Xu Huawen is not fit to be the Prefectural Governor of Suzhou. It is a waste of the Emperor's trust in him. "
Mo Yan thought about how Xu Huawen resisted the Emperor's investigation and acted so brazenly. He was so angry that he kicked open the coffin next to him.
"He actually dares to openly challenge the Emperor's prestige. When we find the ledger, we will let the Emperor punish him with a death sentence!"
Chen Xiaowu saw Mo Yan gritting his teeth and hurriedly hid at the side, not daring to speak.
"Now that the yamen can't enter, and Su Zhou has imposed martial law on us... Perhaps, that person will know the whereabouts of the account book."
"Lord Mo?" "Lord Mo?" Chen Xiaowu asked.
Mo Yan suddenly thought of an old friend. He felt that there was still a chance to turn things around. Without saying anything, he immediately pulled Chen Xiaowu and ran to the east of the city.
Before Chen Xiaowu could react, Mo Yan felt that his pace was too slow and directly carried him like a whirlwind. He quickly ran towards the small road of Suzhou.
After the two of them left the cemetery, a figure climbed out from a pile of weeds. With great difficulty, he took out the blood-stained book and hid it in the coffin.
Then, this head tilted to the side and completely lost its aura.
When Mo Yan brought Chen Xiaowu to Su Province City, the sky had already lit up.
There was no one walking on the streets. It was as if the entire Su Province had lost its vitality. Everything was empty, lifeless.
Chen Xiaowu was trembling with fear. Along the way, he hugged Mo Yan's waist and asked for protection. "Lord Mo, this place seems to have become an empty city."
"Strange..." Mo Yan frowned and said, "Yesterday it was heavily guarded. Why did all of them leave overnight?"
Ding -
The entire system update was completed. Host, please state your real name and register with your real name.
When Chen Xiaowu heard the familiar voice in his mind, he was overjoyed and quickly told his name in his heart.
Chen Xiaowu.
Confirmation complete. Host, please take note. The plot of the Suzhou case needs to be solved by Mo Yan. Host, as the number two hundred and fifty-first minor character, must let the main plot continue.
Chen Xiaowu did not quite understand and could not help but ask the system in his heart.
That, what is a minor character?
The System flipped out a book called "Authentication of a minor character." While reading it, it explained to him.
The significance of a minor character was to show how powerful the main character was. For example, if you and Mo Yan were together, you would always have to be three beats slower than Mo Yan in order to make others think that Mo Yan was very smart.
Chen Xiaowu was speechless.
Suddenly, there was a shadow passing by at the corner of the street. It was extremely fast.
While Chen Xiaowu was still in a daze, Mo Yan put him down and chased after the shadow.
After following the shadow for a few seconds, Mo Yan sensed that something was wrong and quickly turned back to look for Chen Xiaowu. However, the street was now empty.
