"Go and see where they live, but there's anyone?"

The people who went to investigate soon returned.

"No one, the house is empty."

The royal guard chuckled in his heart, and regardless of whether he was rude or not, he hurriedly knocked on Chu Wenjin's door.

"Knock knock."

After a few knocks, there was no reaction at all.

"Knock knock!"

The royal guards knocked hard a few more times, but still no one answered.

"Chu Shangshu, are you in the house? Say no more, we're coming in! ”

The royal guards waited nervously for a few breaths, but naturally they were still silent.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed open. They drew their swords and rushed into the house in an instant, but all they saw was empty.

What about people? Where did Chu Wenjin go?

They guarded this room tightly, front and back, how could Chu Wenjin, a big living person, disappear out of thin air?

"Search! Search carefully! There must be a secret room in this house! ”

The guards immediately scattered and searched the room for bottles and jars.

The walls were torn down, the ground was stomped on, the bedding had been overturned to the ground, and even the beams of the house had been flown up to look at it, but nothing was found.

How could they have thought that a dignified national scholar would drill under the bed and climb holes in the ground.

The leader of the Bahu and the envoy came in response, and looking at the house that had been turned into a mess, the leader of the Bahu reprimanded:

"What are you doing here? Chu Shangshu is a guest! How can you search Chu Shangshu's residence without permission? ”

The royal guard turned around and asked hurriedly:

"Bahu leader, is there a secret passage in this house?"

The leader of Bahu had a puzzled expression on his face:

"Secret passages? What secret passage? I've never heard of it! Where did Chu Shangshu go? ”

The royal guard clenched his sword and asked rhetorically in an unkind tone:

"The leader of the Bahu really doesn't know anything?"

The leader of Bahu was also angry:

"What do you know? You haven't even said what's going on? Although you are the emperor's guard, you can show off your power in front of me, the leader of the tribe, don't you take our Bahu tribe in your eyes? ”

The Bahu tribe's guards stepped forward and confronted the royal guards.

The royal guards couldn't ask why, and they couldn't do anything with the leader of Bahu, so they could only endure it and endure it, and bow their heads aggrievedly to make amends.

"The leader of Bahu is angry, Chu Shangshu is missing, I am too anxious and I don't choose what to say."

The messenger was surprised at this time:

"What? So many of you look at Chu Shangshu, can you still lose people? ”

The royal guards held their breath, co-authoring them to blame them for not taking good care?

Unable to make sense with these two, the royal guards simply bypassed the Bahu leader and the envoy, went out of the house, and ordered his men to investigate everywhere.

It's just that with the two experienced guards Qingfeng and Qingjuan protecting each other, where can the Beiban guards still detect Chu Wenjin's shadow.

After tracking for most of the day to no avail, the royal guards were anxious.

On one side is Chu Wenjin, who is missing, and on the other side is the emperor who is waiting for them to go back to his life.

"Leave a team of people and continue to track Chu Shangshu's whereabouts. The rest of you will follow me back to the capital to resume your life. Messenger, let's go, don't keep the emperor waiting. ”

The envoy nodded, and then probed into the house where Chu Wenjin lived, and looked around.

Yesterday, the leader of Bahu whispered to Chu Shangshu, and today the royal guards couldn't detect it, so he was even more curious.

When the royal guards saw the envoy's curious appearance, they felt that he really didn't know.

As for whether the Bahu leader knows about it, that's another story. After all, Chu Wenjin escaped in the Bahu tribe.

Chu Wenjin seemed to be unable to get it back, so the royal guards had to take the envoy and the two assassins who had assassinated the prince first, and go back to the palace to ask the Northern Barbarian Emperor for his guilt.

Now it is more important to bring back clues and deal with the case of the disappearance of the prince.

When the royal guards and his entourage arrived at the Northern Barbarian Capital with anxiety, Chu Wenjin had also entered the territory of the Yunxiao Kingdom.

Sishang and Sishan are already waiting to answer.

It's just that they all wear face towels on their faces to cover their mouths and noses.

Chu Wenjin asked puzzledly:

"What are you?"

"Third son, please bring this towel with you too."

The boss handed over three face towels with a solemn expression.

"A plague has broken out in the Clouds Country, and even the northern army has not been spared. It's better to be careful. ”

Pestilence? Chu Wenjin's heart sank, it was imperative to attack the Northern Barbarians, but there was a plague in the army?

"Are the eldest brother and father alright?"

Compared with the others, he is most concerned about the safety of his family.

The boss reassured:

"They're okay for the time being, but the plague is coming and spreading very quickly. The entire Yunxiao Country, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of doctors and medicines. Fortunately, the herbs that the third prince bought from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom have been sent to the army, and they can last for a while. ”

Chu Wenjin purchased that batch of herbs to prepare for the war, firstly, it could be used to heal the wounded, and secondly, it could also prevent the post-war plague.

He almost emptied the treasury of the Mulun tribe. It should be enough to supply only to the army.

It's just that he didn't expect that before the war between the Yunxiao Kingdom and the Northern Barbarian Kingdom started, the plague broke out first.

It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.

"Big brother Si, the Iron Wolf Tribe is short of food now, arrange for someone to take some inferior rice to exchange for herbs, how much to exchange! Be quick, get it done before they get the news. In addition, secretly buying herbs from retail investors, the more the merrier. ”

You have to save your life before you can talk about your livelihood.

Thinking that the other four tribes had already turned their hearts to the White Owl, Chu Wenjin added:

"I also remind the leaders of several other major tribes to close their doors in the near future to prevent the plague."

Chu Wenjin thought, after all, they will also be the people of the Yunxiao Kingdom in the future. If he sits idly by, he can't bear it.

Besides, those tribal leaders also helped him a lot, and he should always return the favor.

"Don't worry, third son, I know what to do."

The boss raced against time to do it. Chu Wenjin didn't know how much good fate he would make for the Yunxiao Kingdom in the future.

Si Shan asked:

"Third Prince, do you want to go back to Beijing first, or do you want to wait to see the next batch of herbs?"

Chu Wenjin looked at the direction in which the northern army was stationed, although he was also worried about his father and eldest brother, it could be counted as days, and his younger sister Chu Yunxi was about to give birth.

There is also the eldest sister-in-law, the county lord, and there are still a month or two to give birth. The mother also has to take care of the little sister.

The father and eldest brother could not return to Beijing, and only the second brother was in the house, and the plague was encountered.

Shengya and his mother don't know how to be scared yet, he has to hurry home to see how to rest assured.

"Back to Beijing!"

Chu Wenjin did not hesitate any longer and made a decisive decision.

"Okay, let's go now."

Si Shan immediately beckoned a few dart masters to leave and escorted Chu Wenjin back to Beijing.

Along the way, the more Chu Wenjin looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Unexpectedly, he left the capital in just over two months, and the plague in the Yunxiao Kingdom was already so serious.
