Chapter 155: A Special Mission in the Middle of the Night
Get married? Few years?
Chen Chu groaned slightly, now he is only twenty years old, according to the standards of later generations, it is not a problem to get married a few years later.
It's just that I'm afraid that he can wait, others can't wait, is he willing to see Sister Jiujiang marry Sister Luling to someone else?
There is also Sister Yijia, well, if you are thick-skinned, and Miss Cui Si, in a few years, they can't afford to wait, and they will have to find someone to marry sooner or later.
So anyway, let's deny it for now.
Hou Junji was suddenly disappointed and sighed, it seems that this matter is really not optimistic as discussed before, and can only be discussed in the long run.
Later, the two said goodbye and left, and Chen Chu also felt that it was not suitable to live with his two younger sisters, but Jiujiang opened his mouth to keep him.
The house that was originally specially moved out and selected for this guy can you still lack a room to sleep in The two thought speechlessly.
Just when Chen Chu yawned and got off the donkey to prepare to rest, a voice suddenly sounded in his head.
[Ding, special mission, exploring the water ghosts of the Wei River, successful will get the following rewards: socket exchange progress 1/3, diving suit exchange]
At this time, this special task was triggered?
Chen Chu was shocked in his heart, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared a lot unconsciously.
There is still progress in the exchange of sockets, and it seems that it is a part of the task to unlock, Chen Chu is happy in his heart, the current situation is that there are solar panels, there are also hot water kettles, and there will be some electrical appliances in the future.
This is equivalent to saying that a plug-in board is equivalent to a power supply, if you can turn on its exchange, the two sisters can not use solar energy at home? Lao Li's kid can also use it at home? If you need anything in the future, won't you be able to use electricity anywhere?
The socket is critical, and its redemption must be turned on as soon as possible.
As for the diving suit, it is extraneous, Chen Chu doesn't need this thing, and he is not interested in staying underwater at all, but it doesn't mean that Datang doesn't need it!
For example, the dredging of rivers, salvage, and possible water wars, etc., you must know that water transportation and shipping are related to the lifeblood of the country.
Chen Chu's heart was alive and aroused, and he shouted to the two of them: "Two sisters, do you know about the water ghosts of the Wei River?" ”
"Water ghosts?" The two women were startled and looked at each other, embarrassed, they really knew.
Not long ago, during the resettlement of the victims after the locust plague, they heard that this had happened, and a cargo ship in Jiujiang ran aground, causing losses, and even the people ran away.
Of course, the two of them forgot about it after that incident, after all, they didn't cause much damage, but who knew that after such a long time, Chen Chu suddenly asked at this time.
Now it's pitch black outside the window, it's all dark, is this guy trying to tell ghost stories to scare them?
"We know, what's going on?" Lu Ling asked.
Chen Chu groaned, he was really tired today, he had to take a rest, and then hurry up to investigate and investigate today, and strive to have results as soon as possible.
"Are you tired? …… Forget it, I guess you don't want to go with me to catch water ghosts, I'll go sleep for an hour first, and you help me send someone to inform General Su, uh, don't you go and notify Lord Hou anymore to see if they are interested in catching water ghosts. ”
Chen Chu thought that if they couldn't get out of the way, he would go by himself and let one of Han Ding and Zhang Qi bring some people to protect him, and he had to inquire about something.
Chen Chu is getting more and more excited, has he finally had something exciting after coming to Datang for so long.
Why did he become interested in this kind of thing all of a sudden? Luling looked at Jiujiang, the two girls were not very tired today, after all, they didn't do anything, it didn't matter if they didn't sleep at night to do something with Chen Chu, but isn't it a little too scary to catch ghosts.
"It's okay, our sisters are not afraid of things, so we'll accompany you to see it then, right?"
Jiujiang opened his mouth, anyway, there are guards around to protect him, what are you afraid of?
"Even if I didn't hurt my two sisters in vain, you should also go and rest, and bring more people when the time comes." Chen Chu said, there is such a thing as a flashlight, no one should pretend to be a ghost in front of him.
When the time comes, he will be annoyed, and Lao Tzu will exchange a hundred flashlights for a random light, and there will be nothing to hide in the night, where are you going?
Not long after Hou Junji returned to the house, suddenly someone from Qiao Xuan's Mansion came, saying that he had something to inform Hou Junji.
"Lord Chen at night is going to the Weihe River to catch water ghosts?"
Hou Junji was a little stupid, but he had really heard of this matter, considering that Lord Chen was different from ordinary people after all, it was not strange to be interested in this kind of thing, he didn't even think about it, and immediately agreed.
Hou Junji is a military general, and it is normal for him to get up in the middle of the night when he is marching and fighting, not to mention that he will continue to think about making contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it is impossible not to endure this hardship.
What's more, it's Chen Chu's business, since the other party has found him, he can't shirk it, and he can't ask for this kind of opportunity.
Because there was an agreed time, Hou Junji also asked his subordinates to remember to remind themselves, and then seize the time to sleep.
The soldiers in his house are all ready-made, say hello first, and take a group of men and horses with them in advance when the time comes, and there is no need to worry about safety.
Su Dingfang is the same, because of working with Lord Chen, he actually got the membership card that everyone coveted, and enjoyed a life that he didn't dare to think of before in the Chen Club, to be honest, he has been looking for an opportunity to repay Chen Chu.
Now that this opportunity is delivered to the door, is there anything else to say?
Moreover, what is the status of Lord Chen, in order to help the other party at that time, he mobilizes a group of soldiers and horses out of the city, and His Majesty must not have any blame.
Overnight, there were more people who needed to wake up in the middle of the night.
Su Dingfang and Princess Jiujiang thought about things very thoroughly, and sent people to the haunted river section in advance to squat, on the one hand, to provide information support for their follow-up visits, and on the other hand, to find out the official government to inquire about the recent abnormal movements here.
The so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, I'm sorry, our Lord Chen didn't take this into account.
By the middle of the night, it was almost equivalent to a little later, and Chen Chu and the others woke up.
At this time, the two princesses had tied up their long hair, and their bodies were covered with soft armor, a layer of chain mail on the outside, and a layer of cloth on the outside as a cover.
They were still very concerned about safety precautions, and prepared a set for Chen Chu, Chen Chu felt that this thing was really a bit heavy, so he only wore a layer of soft armor, and then everyone went on the road.
The princess's mansion mobilized a team of 200 people to protect it, and when they came to the agreed location at the west gate of Chang'an City, Su Dingfang and Hou Junji's men and horses also arrived.
Su Dingfang didn't bring many people, and he must have considered that there was no shortage of manpower in the princess's mansion, so there were only some heartfelt generals.
There are also a lot of people brought by Hou Junji, there are hundreds of people, and they are all dressed in armor.
The three parties were not surprised by each other's existence, after all, they were all notified when notifying people.
"Haha, so many people, I must have gained something today, everyone, everyone has to follow me so late, don't worry, I Chen Chu will not forget everyone!"
Outside the open city gate, Chen Chu looked at the more than 300 people close to 400 in front of him, felt relieved, and opened his mouth to thank him.
"By the way, Lord Hou, you can change into these shoes first, they are much lighter than boots, even if you fall into the water, you can effectively reduce the weight."
