Along the way, everyone hurried up and finally arrived at Penglai at dusk.

Looking at the familiar urn city in front of him, Chen Ying let out a long breath.

I didn't expect that there would suddenly be an extra Xue Rui in the middle, which made her almost unable to make the trip, but fortunately, everything went well, and she finally arrived as scheduled.

I just don't know what happened to Pei Shu?

What did he call her for?

With this question in mind, Chen Ying and his entourage came to the Han family's mansion.

The Han family still lives in that small mansion now, but this big mansion is semi-sealed and is no longer rented out.

In Han Duanli's opinion, it doesn't make much sense to take this house back, it is better to leave it empty and use it as a foothold for the Li family or the people of the Guogong Mansion.

In addition, he has another intention, which is to use this house to warn the Han clan people, so that they must not forget the decline of the Han family.

Chen Yingzi didn't know the deep meaning, she just missed Guo Wan's help. Being able to stay overnight in the Han family's old mansion was also arranged by Guo Wan, and now she should have left for Shengjing long ago, Chen Ying can only wish her all the best.

After resting in the Han family's compound for one night, Chen Ying changed into men's clothes the next morning, and accompanied by Lang Tingyu, went to the camp to meet Pei Shu.

Pei Shu is still the most polite Pei Shu, although he knows that Chen Ying has arrived a long time ago, and the affairs at hand are also quite tense, but he did not come to visit overnight, but waited until the next day.

Lang Tingyu, who was moving forward on horseback, was quite emotional about this.

Their grandfather is an impatient man, and he is the most impatient, but in Miss Chen San's place, this master's patience is surprisingly good.

Does this count as a thing down to a thing?

As long as he remembered that Pei Shu had been subdued by Chen Ying's wisdom several times before, and was honest in front of Miss Chen, Lang Tingyu felt an indescribable smile.

He couldn't help grinning and laughing, and Chen Ying, who was walking beside him on horseback, glanced at him suspiciously.

What is there to do about riding a horse early in the morning? Why did this General Lang laugh like this?

And say that the two people have their own thoughts, but this road is very smooth, the homeless camp is built in the suburbs of Penglai County, in fact, it is a temporary shantytown, there are about fifty or sixty of them, there is a circle of wooden fences around the shantytown, forming a relatively concentrated area, barely a simple residential area.

Because it was built by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under the name of the superintendent, from a distance, the quality of the shack seems to be quite good, and it is also very neatly built, much better than Chen Ying imagined.

When Chen Ying and the others arrived, Pei Shu was pacing outside the camp gate.

He still does not wear an official uniform today, with a green robe and a jade crown, leather boots, and a dress that is neither civil nor military, but he also has his own bearing.

Chen Ying and Lang Tingyu dismounted in front of the camp gate, Pei Shu took a few steps forward, and pulled the reins of the horse for Chen Ying, a very faint smile appeared on the slightly gangsterized face, and nodded to her, which was regarded as a hello.

Chen Ying also smiled back, hugged her fists and said, "I've seen the little marquis." ”

"Chen Sanye worked hard." Pei Shu returned the salute, handed the reins to the lieutenant next to him, and asked in a low voice: "You deliberately delayed for a long time, but the matter was done?" ”

Xue Rui's matter, Pei Shu didn't know in detail, the guard who reported the news only said a rough idea, but he didn't know what he was doing, so Pei Shu asked.

Chen Ying was silent for a while.

After all, it's about a woman's reputation, and there are some things that are hard to say.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, she said in as short a language as possible: "Thank you little marquis for asking, I have already arranged it, Miss Xue is now living in the orchard in Yantai, and when this matter is over, I will take her back to Jinan." ”

When she said this, her expression and tone were very calm, but Pei Shu still tasted something from her, so he didn't ask more, but said, "That's fine." ”

Chen Ying felt a little apologetic in her heart, and said softly: "I'm sorry I came late, but it happened suddenly, and I wasn't prepared." ”

"It's okay, my business isn't too urgent." Pei Shu's expression was momentarily solemn, but it quickly turned into a plain hanging.

He raised his hand and dusted off the green robe on his body, and the corners of his mouth slanted slightly: "It's you, the third master, who offended Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion plainly, is it worth it?" ”

The voice of the magnetic sink like wine, lined with the cool wind of the world, is indescribably moving, making people feel like listening to a tide under the moon on an autumn night.

It's a pity that the voice is good, but the words that come out are a bit sparkling.

Chen Ying didn't hear this, she only turned her eyes to look at him, and she thought she was very polite with a smile on her face: "Little Hou Ye's words are wrong, I and Miss Xue are handkerchiefs, so why do you want to offend her." ”

"Handkerchief?" Pei Shu's eyebrows immediately raised Lao Gao, and the corners of his mouth on the other side were also torn apart, which made the sinister smile become more normal, and looked at Chen Ying funny: "This is really unheard of, Third Master Chen, it seems that you should meet your friends with martial arts." ”

Chen Ying was stunned by what he said, and immediately embarrassed.

This is a mistake that should not be made.

In the middle of these words, she forgot that she was pretending to be a man today, how could she say the word "handkerchief"?

Fortunately, except for Lang Tingyu, the captain who was guarding the camp gate had already retreated to the side, and no one knew that he had said the wrong thing, but Chen Ying still conducted self-reflection and came to a somewhat unbelievable conclusion:

It seems that in front of Pei Shu, her vigilance will be slightly reduced.

It is true that as a partner of cooperation, basic trust is necessary, but this degree must be grasped well and not exceeded.

She reminded herself in her heart, but the smile on her face did not change at all, and she calmly changed the topic and asked, "Little Hou Ye asked me to meet here today, is it to go to the fire scene for investigation?" ”

On the way here, Chen Ying inquired about the news from Lang Tingyu and learned that Pei Shu invited her over precisely for the fire more than a month ago, but Lang Tingyu didn't know what the specific reason was.

Thinking like this, she asked again, "Is there something wrong with that fire?" ”

Pei Shu let out a low "hmm", the smile on his face quickly faded, and the aura on his body also became solemn, and said, "There are indeed some problems." ”

Chen Ying's heart sank.

Generally speaking, there are no more than two causes of fire, one is an accident, and the other is man-made.

If the latter is the case, then the fire is a case, and it is also a serious and important case with a staggering number of casualties.

"Let's go in first, we'll talk as we go." Pei Shu said in a low voice, raised his hand and pushed open the wooden fence gate, and made a sideways gesture of please.

Chen Ying didn't say anything more, stepped forward, and walked into the camp with him.
