CHAPTER XXXIX

"Brother, I want to eat meat too." Chen Ba, who was hiding not far away and was in charge of keeping an eye in the first half of the night, sniffed lightly with his nose, trying to attribute all the remaining aromas in the air to himself.

He raised his hand and crutches twice and closed his eyes to recuperate Chen Qi.

“...... Bear with it. ”

Before leaving, Chen Simian prepared pastries for the two, and it was quite rare when Chen Qi brought them out, after all, the group of rough men in front of them, only steamed buns and millet cakes, they didn't need to compare, they knew who had more fragrant in their arms.

However, at this moment, where Chen Qi was lying on his stomach, he happened to be facing the face with the mask, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but Sheng Li's body was full of food, and the smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth was hanging high, and he was stubborn and refused to fall, so angry that he stretched out his claws towards Chen Ba.

"Hiss......" Chen Ba pulled up his face and asked, "Why are you pinching me?" ”

With peace of mind, Chen Qi withdrew his calloused hand, pointed to the burden thrown aside, and said, "Pastry!" And motioned for Chen Ba to hand it to him.

"It's gone!" It's a pity that Chen Ba stretched out his hand to dig in the baggage, and the package of the pastries was a little powdery, and he was amazed that it was empty.

Under Chen Qi's gaze, he was stupid, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, shining in the dark night, and then in the spirit of the dead Taoist friend, he immediately threw out the pot and said, "It's all their fault, they eat too delicious!" My gluttony has come out. ”

He was not the only one who was hooked out of the gluttony, Chen Qi's stomach was already drumming, and he didn't stop for a moment, but he was supported by the perseverance of not eating for lunch, and now he was going to stare at the second half of the night, and finally had a justifiable reason to send two mouthfuls, stunned because Chen Ba was disillusioned.

Their rations for the past two days were made by Chen Ba in one night, how can you not be angry, Chen Qi rolled his eyes silently, knowing that his younger brother had gone farther and farther on the road of not dying without dying, so he nodded with one hand and clearly spit out a dirty word: "Get out!" After the topic ended, I didn't care about it at all.

If he changed to another moment, or changed to someone else, and talked to Chen Ba like this, he would inevitably have a quarrel with his head and face, and the reputation of the eldest eighth woman in the Sheng Mansion was not for nothing.

- Get out of here! Aren't you unable to speak without opening your mouth?! A few pieces of pastry just want people to roll, why don't you just roll one to make a template? Let others do the same!

But he didn't dare, firstly because it was Chen Qi, and secondly because there was a pocket of pastries, only one piece was not in his stomach.

It was probably the roar of the belly from Chen Qi's side from time to time, which caused the feeling of Taishan pressing the top brought by a full stomach to be more obvious, and Chen Ba's melon seed face hidden in the dark revealed a trace of distortion that made the pastry fill the esophagus due to squeezing.

In order to ensure that Chen Qi would not kill him, his Adam's apple slid twice hard, and he raised his head to swallow back the churning thing first, but at this moment, sharp pain spread from his scalp to his whole body, and a white fat pigeon with strong legs and strong legs held him deadly.

"Wow~woo~" The more Chen Ba raised his head, the tighter the claws were buckled, he exhaled in pain, and as soon as he remembered that they were stealing chickens and dogs, he immediately covered his mouth.

"Don't move." He was pinched by Chen Qiyi's chin, his shaking head was held steadily, and then the fat pigeon was pressed by Chen Qi's body of fate, except for the black beans that were glancing around and the straight claw tips, the rest of the positions were covered by big hands.

Chen Qi pulled out the cylinder of his hand, twisted the lid with one hand, and took out the note, although the shock in his eyes was fleeting, but it still caught Chen Ba, and he leaned his head over.

- Mrs. has an order to protect each other with her life.

Seeing Chen Qi's skeptical gaze, he put his three fingers together, put them to his mouth, and said sincerely: "I swear, the message sent back is 'So-and-so is in place, remember that Liu wants to see the scenery of the capital, follow along the road, how so?'" If you lie, you will cut off your children and grandchildren! ”

After saying that, I couldn't hold back "Hiccup!" With a sound, Chen Qi rolled his eyes again.

Chen Ba couldn't believe it, he took the note, read it carefully, read it again, and shook his head: "Madame, what you said is that you want us to protect Miss Ji, or the eldest young master?" ”

The answer did not come, he looked up and saw that Chen Qi was looking at the front with no expression, and several people were sleeping horizontally.

At this time, Chen Qi suddenly moved, he rubbed the ground in the air, and he was crawling happily but was pulled by Chen Ba violently: "Why are you going?" ”

“...... Dine. Holding his hand and letting go instantly, the feeling of blocking his throat is still vivid, if it weren't for the fat pigeon making trouble, I'm afraid they would have to move their position.

That's right! Fat pigeon!

Chen Ba's eyes were cracking, he saw that the fat pigeon that was clenched by Chen Qi had already made a dead bird, and asked tremblingly: "Brother, you, you won't, you want to eat, Sister Mianmian's love bird, right?!" ”

"It's you." After Chen Qi finished speaking, he immediately got up and left without making a sound during the whole process.

“?”

With Chen Qi leaving, there was still his caring eyes for the mentally handicapped, and only Chen Ba with a puzzled face remained in place.

Now, only Chen Bayi was left to monitor in the croaking of frogs, he was bored biting the grass roots, and after a long time, Ji Liu's nose sniffed, turned over, almost wanted to be sober, and muttered: "It's so fragrant, eat meat......"

Sheng Li thought it was in a dream, he was sleeping soundly, and suddenly her voice came from his ears, he was unconscious, and he responded vaguely: "No meat, be good, sleep." ”

"Hmmm......"

A conversation ended quickly, and even the officials who were keeping vigil didn't hear it, and Chen Ba was even surrounded by various objects woven of weeds, with edges and corners, but shapeless.

"It's ugly."

The person who was hiding in the distance to replenish his energy finally came back, and Chen Ba no longer had to keep watch alone in the cold night, and was very excited: "Brother, are you back?" ”

His eyes searched around and asked, "What about the fat pigeon?" You can't really eat it, do you? The oil stains on Chen Qi's mouth have not been wiped clean, and they are shining in the dark night, after Chen Ba saw it, he really pinched a cold sweat for the fat pigeon, isn't it that Chen Qi is already hungry to the point of hunger?

Maybe there was food in his abdomen, Chen Qi seemed to have made a qualitative leap in his mood, he licked the residual meat fragrance, and explained, "Let it go." ”

Lent Chen eighty lives, Chen Qi did not dare to take it to Chen Simian to cut, although he coveted this fat pigeon for a long time, but as long as Chen Simian was there, he did not dare to start, the carrier pigeon can be raised like a fat pigeon, it is not easy, how can it be easily used to open the knife.

After staring at it for most of the night, Chen Ba had already been sleepy, and now that Chen Qi has also returned, he can finally take a nap with peace of mind.

He was just about to close his eyes when he heard Chen Qi say, "Protect Miss Ji." ”

A cold voice came, Chen Ba was stunned for a moment, his cynical expression instantly froze, he nodded yes, glanced ahead, and then began to rest.

Maybe it was because of Chen Qi's guard, he seemed much more at ease at night, and he slept until dawn, until he was kicked.

After waking up, he found that Sheng Li and his party had disappeared, so he hurriedly got up and asked in surprise: "Where are they?" All set off? Why didn't you wake me up sooner? ”

crackled and asked a lot of questions, which made someone, who was already seriously sleep-deprived, even more frowned, enough to trap mosquitoes and flies in summer.

"Let's go."

Chen Qi didn't bother to explain, when Sheng Li and the others started to act, he thought that Chen Ba would wake up on his own, but who knew that this person was sleeping like a dead pig, so he had to force him to use violence.

He ran quickly in the direction of the state capital, while scratching his waist vaguely, secretly thinking in his heart: In the future, this kind of vigil work, if you say anything, you have to leave Chen Ba in the second half of the night, and I don't know why, mosquitoes and insects stare at him and bite, Chen Ba has nothing to do, and he will be bad luck when he thinks about it.

The more Chen Qi thought about it, the more angry he became, and Chen Ba, who was following him, sensitively noticed it, and didn't know where to touch his moldy head, for fear of being beaten, so he was so well-behaved that he didn't open his mouth the whole time.

In this way, the two were silent all the way, and followed Sheng Li and others to the state capital.

They went directly to the Criminal Prison Division, and as soon as they arrived at the gate, the adults in charge of escorting Ding Chen were already waiting at the door.

Sheng Li stepped forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, my subordinates are Zhaofeng County Ya Arrest Kuai Sheng Li, and I was ordered to escort Li Yu to the capital for trial. ”

This group of people has already received the news, and the person in charge of this escort is called Lin Buregret, who is also the deputy manager of the Criminal Prison Department of the state government, and the brother-in-law of Liu Feng, the secretary of the state government.

Lin Buregret is quite famous in the state capital, and most of the praise is how humble and polite he is, how kind and golden.

Wen Yuecheng had told him before he set off that once the matter that Ding Chen was hiding was revealed, the people involved in it would either lose their heads or pave the way with gold and jade.

The secretary of the Criminal and Prison Department of the state government has been cautious and cautious over the years, and he doesn't like to take the lead, but since Lin Buregret appeared, he first married Liu Yue, and then sat in the position of deputy steward, his ambition is not small, and he should not be underestimated.

After Lin Buregret took the throne, the State Government's Criminal Prison Department changed its cautious style in the past, and Wen Yuecheng guessed that many things were driven by him behind the scenes.

Take Ding Chen's matter as an example, if it was before, Liu Feng would definitely have how far he would have hidden, and he would have protected himself.

But Lin Buregret will not let go of such a great opportunity, wealth and fortune are often accompanied by dangers, and he is the only one who dares to do it, and he is the only one who will personally escort Ding Chen.

"Are you escorting Ding Chen alone?" Wen Yuecheng informed him of the speculation before, Sheng Li didn't believe it at first, but anyone who used his brains in the Criminal Prison Department would know that Ding Chen was related to the military camp, and it was definitely not a trivial matter.

No matter how careful Liu Feng is, he will not joke with such an important suspect, and only arrange for Lin Buregret to escort him, in case there is a good guy along the way, let alone catch up with the entire criminal prison department of Xizhou.

Lin Buregret has not relented from meeting them to the present, and the gentle smile on his face has never subsided, and he is still warm and warm about such an important matter: "Yes." ”

"Hehe," as soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes were shocked, his smile deepened, and his eyebrows were crooked: "Aren't there still you?!" ”

"......"

Ben was prepared, and along the way, the people who were suppressed and despised by the people of the Criminal Prison Department were a little uncertain for a while, since ancient times, the adults of the Criminal Prison Department have always looked down on them, after all, people in the good books generally disdain to work with the lowly people.

As if guessing what they meant, Lin Buregret interrupted with a smile: "With all of you, how many more people do you need from the Criminal Prison Department, and it is enough to have a kid following behind for nothing!" ”

"Everyone is in a hurry, you should have gone in for a cup of tea and rested, but time is pressing, so the kid has arranged for his men to prepare enough dry food, let's go now."
