Seeing Ying Wu running back in a hurry, Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing were not particularly surprised. Some time ago, they had received the exact news that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Song Qiyun were about to return from Xijing with Shen Jiajun, so , after seeing Ying Wu, they thought they were coming back to fight in the front war, so they tidied up their homes and welcomed the return of the large army.
After Ying Wu returned to Jiaping Pass City, he first went back to his house to take a comfortable bath and changed into clean clothes. On the way to Shen Jiajun's station, he stopped by the dining room to find something to eat. He wouldn't come back for a long time. When the chef in the kitchen saw him, he was so enthusiastic that he filled a large box full of food for him.
After thanking the master chef in the kitchen, Ying Wu carried the huge food box and walked towards the Shen Jiajun's station. Xue Ruitian was waiting for him in the commander's tent.
Entering the handsome tent, he not only saw Xue Ruitian, but also Jin Jing, Xia Jiu and Hongye. He raised his eyebrows and saw that everyone had arrived. It was just right. There was no need to say the same thing a second time. He could finish it once. .
"Come and sit!" Xue Ruitian waved to Ying Wu and pointed to the position of his head, "It's been a hard journey."
"Master Marquis, let's not say such polite words." Ying Wu put down the food box and took out the food prepared by the master. He looked at the people around him, "Have you eaten? Do you want some more?" ?”
"We just finished eating. You can eat it yourself!"
"It's wonderful." Ying Wu picked up a chicken leg and took a bite, "It's unparalleled."
"How are Haolin and Xiaocha? Is everything going well? When do you plan to come back?"
"Master Guo and the others are doing well. They should be able to set off within half a month. If nothing else happens, they will be back in the middle of next month."
"No accidents?" Xue Ruitian chuckled, "It seems there will still be accidents."
"It's not necessarily an accident, it could be a good thing."
Ying Wu took a sip of the soup and started to nibble on the second chicken leg. He didn't eat seriously on the way, and he was starving to death.
Jin Jing is a smart person, and he was very keen to hear something wrong from Ying Wu's words, but when he saw how hungry he was, stuffing food into his mouth hungrily, he sighed softly and looked at Xue Ruitian, who also noticed something strange, made a gesture, even if it was a big deal, it would have to wait until the child had filled his stomach before talking about it.
Xia Jiu hasn't seen Ying Wu for a long time and misses him very much. There are also many things he wants to ask him. Unlike Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing, he mainly wanted to inquire about the situation of the emperor's brother and his mother. As for other matters, he was young and had no qualifications to intervene, so he could only follow orders.
Hongye looked at Xue Ruitian silently, then at Jin Jing, and sighed softly. If the Duke of Guo and Xiaocha could send Ying Wu back, it might not be a trivial matter. Will it affect the current situation? She also It’s hard to say, we can only take it one step at a time.
After a cup of tea, Ying Wu finally had enough to eat and drink. He held the tea cup and took two sips of tea, then burped with satisfaction.
"Have you eaten enough?" Jin Jing approached Ying Wu with a smile and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Tell me, what do Haolin and Xiaocha want you to come back for? How do you want us to cooperate?"
"That's right." Xue Ruitian agreed, "It's definitely no small matter to bring you back. Let's talk about it. As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it."
"You two guessed well. The Duke and the boss do have something they want the Marquis and the military advisor to do." Ying Wu nodded. He stood up and walked to the corner of the commander's tent. He took out the small board he usually used to make tea. He was dragged over and motioned for Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing, Xia Jiu and Hongye to sit in a row. He looked at Xue Ruitian and remembered what his boss had told him before leaving. He cleared his throat and said, "Before I start explaining this matter, I must get a guarantee from Mr. Hou, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what? If I rejected you, wouldn't you say anything?" Hearing Ying Wu's words, Xue Ruitian suddenly had a bad feeling. He felt that what Ying Wu was going to say was most likely about him. related to that incident. He cheered up and nodded towards Ying Wu, "Okay, what do you want me to guarantee? If it's reasonable, I have no problem."
"Let me make it clear that this guarantee is not what I want. It is the order of the Duke and the boss. We must get the guarantee from the Marquis before this matter can continue." Ying Wu looked at Xue Ruitian, "The Marquis must guarantee it, listen. If you are a subordinate, you must not be impulsive and must be calm."
"If I guess correctly, what you are about to say is related to my mother's case, right? Did you find a lot of clues in Xijing? Is there any great progress in that case?"
"Master Hou, don't ask me questions, but give me a guarantee!" Ying Wu knocked on the board lightly, glanced at Hong Ye, and asked her to prepare pen and ink for Xue Ruitian, "It can't be verbal, you must write it down in person. , Otherwise, I will have no way to explain it to the Duke and the boss when they come back."
"..." Seeing how persistent he was, Xue Ruitian rubbed his forehead with a headache, and stared at Ying Wu for a while, and finally lost, "Okay, I'll write."
After getting the guarantee written by Xue Ruitian, Ying Wu shook it twice and received it properly in his arms. Then he told what happened in Xijing in detail.
Ying Wu's narrative was very detailed. Every connection they found was sorted out on a small board, and the evidence supported by each connection was also listed in detail. In the face of questions raised by Xue Ruitian and Jin Jing anytime and anywhere, he also gave very detailed answers.
"The above is everything we have found in Xijing in the past two months, as well as our current speculation on this case."
After talking for nearly two hours, the case was finally explained from beginning to end. Ying Wu felt that his throat was a little sore. He picked up the tea bowl handed over by Hong Ye and drank a lot of tea. Only then did he feel comfortable. Some.
"Also, we already have all the evidence I just listed, including witnesses." He looked at Xue Ruitian, "If the Marquis wants to verify it, he has to wait for the Duke and the boss to come back, and they will All this evidence was brought back.”
Xue Ruitian nodded. To everyone's surprise, after listening to Ying Wu's story, he did not make any impulsive moves, and even sat in his seat without changing his position.
"You..." Jin Jing and Hong Ye exchanged a look and asked cautiously, "What do you want to say?"
"I..." Xue Ruitian looked at him and then at Ying Wu. Seeing their looks, he laughed, "You don't have to be so nervous. Since I promised not to be impulsive, I will definitely not break my promise. Besides..." He He raised his eyebrows slightly, "There's no need for me to rush!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Although I haven't seen the evidence, I can tell from Xiao Wu's story that neither Wanyanping nor the Tantai family or Mrs. Teng are the people we are looking for in the end." Xue Ruitian stood up with difficulty. , rubbing his numb legs, "The real enemy has not appeared yet. When he does, it will not be too late for me to act impulsively."
