Chapter 66: Emptiness (Part 2)
Wei Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's hand tugging at his cuffs, the thin white hand reflected on his cold and hard silver armor, it was like tofu, and it could be broken with a slight pinch.
He breathed slightly, gently covered her hand with his right hand holding the Ugin long whip, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to the workshop to check the situation, and it is estimated that we have arrived at the place where the army has gathered, and the news has also come." β
Chen Ge was slightly stunned, and then slowly calmed down.
Also, what she could think of, how could this man not think of it!
At this time, she realized that she was in a hurry, so she pressed his wrist, quickly coughed lightly, withdrew her hand and said, "That's fine, I hope everything is in time." β
The woman's hand slipped out of his hand like this, like a small fish that could not be caught, sensing the emptiness in his hand, Wei Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart seemed to be empty.
Chen Ge didn't notice Wei Yuan's abnormality, and was still thinking about Dr. Tao's tragic death.
Doctor Tao committed suicide early in the morning, indicating that the person behind him had already noticed that Wei Yuan was suspicious of Doctor Tao.
And Dr. Tao paid so much attention to the workshop before, which means that the person behind it is likely to want the information in the workshop, and the workshop is only rushing to produce the still during this time.
Chen Ge's eyes were slightly gloomy.
Combined with the time when that person set up a bureau to threaten Dr. Tao, it is hard to imagine that he set up this bureau to check Wei Yuan's response to the epidemic in Changzhou.
She looked at Wei Yuan and asked, "Has the specific time when the other people in Dr. Tao's family disappeared?" β
Wei Yuan glanced at her, suddenly pulled the reins, stopped the horses that were waiting impatiently to move around, and said, "According to the news that came from the news, the rest of Dr. Tao's family disappeared after the Mid-Autumn Festival. β
After the Mid-Autumn Festival?!
The news of the outbreak of the epidemic in Changzhou only came seven days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Before that, it was estimated that even the people of Changzhou had not yet noticed that a terrible epidemic was quietly spreading.
She suddenly realized something, and glanced at Wei Yuan with some shock.
The epidemic in Changzhou is likely to be man-made!
Wei Yuan had already sat up straight, looking ahead with a gloomy face, and in a pair of dark eyes, there seemed to be a bloody violence that he was trying to endure rolling, and he actually saw that Chen Ge was slightly frightened.
It was Wei Yuan she hadn't seen before, and her whole body seemed to be as sharp as a sword, but now it was suppressed by an invisible scabbard.
It's just that when the sword is unsheathed, what will happen to the world?
She suddenly understood why so many people in the world were afraid of this man.
Even the tenderness he had just shown in front of her was a little unreal.
"Here we are."
A deep voice suddenly sounded, pulling Chen Ge's thoughts back.
Chen Ge immediately poked his head out of the window, and sure enough, he saw the flag waving in front of him, and the oppressive army seemed to be connected with the sky in the distance, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Seeing Wei Yuan and his party, several soldiers standing in front of the army immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, clasped their fists and said loudly: "I've seen the lord, I've seen the lady." β
The soldiers behind him followed, kneeling down in a loud voice, and the sound of shouting seemed to shake the heavens and the earthβ
"I've seen the lord, I've seen the lady!"
Chen Ge couldn't help but be shocked, forgot to move for a while, and just watched this scene of swallowing mountains and rivers in a daze.
Although she also followed the army back to Jizhou from Laiyang, but because she was returning after winning the battle at that time, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed, and because Wei Yuan was in a hurry to return to Jizhou, many etiquettes were saved.
And on weekdays, when those generals come to Wei Yuan to talk about things, everything is simple, and they will not perform such a formal military salute.
It was the first time she had experienced such a scene.
Wei Yuan, who was on the side, nodded lightly and said loudly: "All gentlemen are exempt from courtesy." β
"Thank you, Lord! Blessed is the Lord! Blessed is Madame! β
With another overwhelming shout, the generals in front of the army took the lead and stood up, and then the soldiers behind followed suit.
Chen Ge suddenly realized that the appearance of his dirt bun seemed to be a little embarrassed Wei Yuan's face, and he hurriedly wanted to put down the curtain, but suddenly, he saw several familiar figures lying on the ground not far away.
She immediately recognized who they were, hurriedly got out of the carriage, walked over and said, "Steward Xu, what are you doing here?" Hurry up! β
Steward Xu in front of him still maintained his original posture, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates are guilty, and they don't have the face to face Mrs." Early this morning, a thief suddenly broke into the workshop and snatched the lady's drawings! β
Chen Ge was stunned, but he was not much surprised, looked at Steward Xu, and then looked at the craftsmen kneeling behind him, and said lightly: "Get up, it's not all your fault, I'm not sharp enough, I should have told me that when someone coveted the stills in the workshop, you should have let the prince send someone to guard the workshop." β
She just never expected that the thief would be so sharp.
Hearing Chen Ge's words, Steward Xu's body trembled slightly, slowly straightened his waist, and said with some emotion: "Mrs. Xie is tolerant. β
He hasn't seen a tolerant master, but it's rare for someone like Madam to introspect.
After a pause, Steward Xu said: "Although the thief took away most of the drawings of the lady, because he found it in time, he snatched back a drawing from the thief. β
As he spoke, he presented a thin piece of paper to Chen Ge with both hands.
Chen Ge frowned slightly, picked up the paper and glanced at it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a sneer with sarcasm rose at the corner of his mouth.
Should it be said that it is providence? What the thief couldn't take away was this one.
Seeing the smile on the woman's lips, Steward Xu was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that the thief had snatched the drawings desperately, which might not only fail to achieve his goal, but also be a disaster.
"Madam, why do you want that kid to snatch that piece of paper back!"
A hearty and rough voice suddenly sounded, but it was Gao Hu, who had been kneeling on the ground and begging her to save his mother.
I saw him pat He Yao's back beside him vigorously, and said in a voice that he was afraid that the people present would not hear: "He was also stabbed by the thief for this!" My subordinates have known this kid for so long, and they have never seen him so desperate! He's usually so lazy that people want to beat him up! β
"Gao Hu, shut up!" He Yao's body was much thinner than Gao Hu, and he almost fell to the ground again when he was patted, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and saying in shame.
I know that this guy is unreliable, he should have sewed his mouth up before he came!
Chen Ge noticed that He Yao's right arm was hanging down a little unnaturally, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked, "Has the wound been treated?" β
Seeing the worry in the woman's eyes, He Yao was silent, raised a not very serious smile and said, "It's just a small wound, subordinate...... Yes! Pain! Gao Hu, what are you doing stupid! β
Why did he want to look distorted and roared at his partner beside him, Gao Hu still maintained the action of stretching out his finger to poke him, and said with an innocent face: "Where is the small wound, it is clearly a wound of the boss, and it was finally stopped that the bleeding stopped, why do you lie in front of Madame?" β
Why do you want to throw this stupid guy away in a clump for a moment.
The people around couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw He Yao's aggrieved face but couldn't say anything, and the originally depressed and solemn atmosphere was suddenly diluted.
Chen Ge couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and looked at the two of them with slightly curved eyes.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her right hand, and a low, magnetic voice sounded at the same time as the suddenly approaching heat source, "What are you talking about, so happy?" β
Chen Ge subconsciously turned his head, but there was still a smile on his face that he didn't have time to take back, his eyes were smiling, and his red lips were slightly curled.
Such a smile seemed to suddenly jump to the sunlight in front of him, and Wei Yuan had never felt for a moment that the picture of this army gathering was so bright and gorgeous.
He stared deeply at the delicate face in front of him, only to feel that the bottom of his heart was suddenly terrifyingly empty, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he whispered: "Madame......"
