Not to mention how reluctant Chen Jing was, he finally took the carriage and horse slowly and leisurely to the inn.
The sky was still green at this time, and there were only a few pedestrians on the street. The crisp sound of horse hooves trampling on the stone slabs of the alley made people feel panicked for no reason.
However, when he thought about the consequences if he failed to receive someone and the mission failed, and if Master Xuanji was displeased, his status in the sect would plummet, he no longer cared about this unreasonable mood.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Jing reached out to lift the curtain of the car and told the driver: "Speed up a little faster. I have to see the person as soon as possible."
"Okay, sir."
The driver followed the instructions and accelerated the speed of the carriage and horses.
Thanks to Chen Jingxing's instructions, Chu Qi and Zhan Zhao were able to block Chu Qi and Zhan Zhao who were about to go out.
At that time, Zhan Zhao had just packed up some hidden weapons and hid them on his body. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away. He opened the window and saw a luxuriously decorated carriage heading towards the inn. At this time of year, the people who would visit in the early morning were either Bao Zheng or Chen Fuzhong.
Bao Zheng has always acted cautiously. Now that he has left quietly, he will naturally come back quietly. How could he do it with such a big fanfare and attract attention.
Then the visitors can naturally only be people from Jiangzhou.
Could it be that you are here to ask questions?
Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull Chu Qi away from the window.
"Mr. Gongsun was kidnapped just last night. There will be no good for them coming today. Since we arrived in Jiangzhou, we have been hindered everywhere. We don't know what they are planning now. Miss Chuqi, please give me a hand." Just hide in the room and let me deal with it."
Seeing him turn around, Chu Qi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but grab Zhan Zhao's hand, and then slowly let go when he looked back in shock.
"Mr. Zhan, Wanwang be careful, they don't have many people. If the situation changes, we will fight them out in the worst case!"
"Thank you Miss Chuqi for your kindness, but you must not act like this. It's enough to investigate in private, but if you really have an affair with someone in the government office openly, it will be Mr. Bao who will be hard to explain later. Don't worry. , I will deal with it carefully."
After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he went downstairs. He thought he was ready to deal with all the criticism, but as soon as he arrived in the main hall, he saw a table with an incense table.
The person who arrived was Chen Jing, the prefect of Jiangzhou, who was instructing his entourage to put the three animals on the altar table. The huge pig head was facing the stairs, facing Zhan Zhao who looked confused.
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Chen Jing is probably here for the seventh day of the lunar month.
"Oh, Guard Zhan, you came just in time!"
While Zhan Zhao was thinking, Chen Jing, who was being commanded vigorously, saw him. He quickly led four or five soldiers to greet Zhan Zhao enthusiastically, and showed a big smile to Zhan Zhao.
"Ah, Mr. Zhan has met Mr. Chen. I don't know Mr. Chen, you are this early in the morning -?"
Zhan Zhao saluted him and then began to inquire.
"I was just about to tell you about this. I heard that this inn is occupied by a goddess. I am here just to welcome the goddess. I wonder if Guard Zhan has any clues?"
Chen Jing said it very politely, but he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao with a half-smile, looking absolutely sure.
And being stared at by him like this, Zhan Zhao was not frightened. He just pretended to frown, as if he was really confused.
"It turns out to be like this. Zhan only found out today that there is a goddess living here. It seems that Jiangzhou is really a geomantic treasure land! Mr. Chen, you manage it well."
"Hehe, Guard Zhan is really an honor. It's just that you said you never knew anything about the goddess... Hey, how come I heard that this goddess seems to have followed Mr. Bao all the way to Jiangzhou Mansion?"
"Lord Chen, you are joking. My lord is the emperor's special envoy. He is on official business and traveling in a light carriage. How can there be a woman accompanying him?"
Seeing that Zhan Zhao was always pretending to be stupid, Chen Jing was no longer polite. He put away his smile, snorted coldly, and said:
"Okay, guard, I won't argue with you anymore. Just remember, if I can receive the goddess today, everything will be peaceful."
"If not...then I'm afraid there will be a bold bandit tomorrow who will send your Master Bao's head over here!"
As he spoke, he pretended to wink his eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't even shed a single tear.
"Hey! At that time, even for the sake of the friendship of serving as officials in the same dynasty, I will personally lead two hundred soldiers to avenge Lord Bao!
When the time comes, you will have to do your best to protect me!
Oh, by the way, I have to write a letter to tell the officials how conscientious Mr. Bao is. Don't worry, Guard Zhan, I will definitely give him a posthumous name that will be passed down through the ages! "
"Guard Zhan, what do you think?"
