Chapter 332 The Letter Arrived
"And Madam and the others are bringing dozens of carts of food." The soldier continued to report with a happy look on his face.
After hearing this, Chen Du said "OK" three times, and then he walked out quickly without caring about the other two people in the account.
Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng looked at the departing figure, the joy on their faces faded, they looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
Wang Cheng stared at the city defense map in the tent and asked first, "Do you think the spy will steal the city defense map first, or burn the food and grass first?"
Lin Yuzan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before glancing at him sideways. He replied calmly, "If it were me, I would see how much food and grass the Chen family mother and daughter brought with them. If the number was large, I would attack them at the same time and catch them off guard."
After saying this, the two of them fell silent, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Soon, the cheerful voice of a young girl was heard from outside.
"Grandfather, my father is still on patrol outside and hasn't returned yet?"
"These past few days, the disturbances caused by the Hu people outside the city have become increasingly serious. Your father has to go and drive them away." Chen Du replied lovingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the tent was opened again. Chen Du walked into the tent with his granddaughter, and saw that the two annoying guys were still there.
He snorted unhappily, "You two, get out."
"General Chen, my son and I will leave after we finish our meal." Lin Yuzan immediately replied, holding the bowl.
Wang Cheng:......
Chen Du glanced at his bowl, which was not even half full, and couldn't help but curse, "You're so slow even when eating, like a woman."
Chen Jiaoyi looked curiously at the father and son squatting in the corner. Seeing that they all smiled warmly at her, she also smiled sweetly in return.
Then, she turned to Chen Du and said, "Grandfather, did you hear the commotion that my uncle made in Yanjing? He is amazing. He got the title of scholar at the age of 10."
Chen Du's eyebrows relaxed, and he replied happily, "Our Chen family finally has a scholar. Your great-grandfather was right to take him back. The men of our Chen family live on the edge of a knife every day. If something happens, I'm afraid there won't be anyone left to protect you."
Chen Jiaoyi felt upset for a while when she heard this, but then she cheered up and said, "But I just want my father and grandfather to protect me, and then protect my uncle, so that he won't be bullied by others."
Chen Du raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at his little granddaughter, and saw her chattering about the things that happened in Yanjing, and then her expression changed.
Wang and Lin, who were squatting in the corner, looked at each other with inexplicable eyes.
Wang Cheng: It seems there is no need for Sister Qing to deliver the letter. Miss Chen is a shrewd person.
Lin Yuzan: Sister Qing is having a wonderful time in Yanjing. I envy her.
As for Pei Yi's miserable condition, they were automatically ignored by the two.
There were endless gossips about Yanjing. Chen Jiaoyi kept talking for almost an incense stick of time before she stopped talking, drank a sip of tea, looked at her grandfather with a slightly red face, and ended with an embarrassed "That's it, Grandfather."
This was also the first time that Chen Du knew that his little granddaughter was so eloquent. He couldn't help but say with a smile, "It seems that Jiaojiao is living quite happily in Yanjing."
Chen Jiaoyi's face turned redder and she called out "Grandfather" coquettishly, then she took out a small notebook from her sleeve and placed it in front of Chen Du. "My uncle is very kind to me. He knew I was going to North City, so he drew some pictures for me to entertain me on the road. Look, I read them every day."
Upon hearing this, Chen Du casually turned a page and saw a few ugly turtles fighting each other.
Chen Du: ...
He looked at his granddaughter with a smile, "Turtle picture?"
Chen Jiaoyi blinked her eyes and playfully replied, "Sister Yining likes turtles the most, so my uncle and her father are the best at drawing turtles."
“She likes unique things.”
Chen Du already knew who the sister Yining she was talking about. He nodded in understanding and pushed the album aside to avoid hurting his eyes. Then two burning gazes fell on the album.
Wang and Lin felt happy again. The letter they had been waiting for for many days finally arrived.
Chen Du glanced again and saw the two tactless guys in the corner: Damn, the food in the big bowl has not been touched at all, I guess they are confused.
He stood up unhappily and said, "Come on, Jiaojiao, grandpa will show you the military camp."
After saying this, the grandparents and grandchildren left briskly.
When the noise outside the tent gradually faded away, the two people in the corner finally moved.
One person keeps watch while the other searches for information, and they work in perfect harmony.
Lin Yuzan opened the album and flipped through a few pages. He then noticed the small number on the corner of the page. After pondering for a moment, he pursed his lips and said, "It looks like this is Pei Yi's letter."
As soon as these words came out, expectations dropped sharply.
Wang Cheng glanced at him and said, "Okay, if Qingjie finds 13 to write, it will cost a lot of money."
Small characters cost 20 wen, large characters cost 10 wen. It is indeed the easiest to cheat children out of their money.
Lin Yuzan also understood this well. He flipped through a few more pages and found a clue. Pei Yi had hidden the letter in plain sight. He pulled out all the papers with the words "Di Yi" written on them and put the album back to its original state.
At this moment, a short blade appeared under his jaw without warning. 66 had a gloomy face and whispered in his ear in a low voice, "Lin Yuzan, you made it so hard for me to find you."
Wang Cheng turned around in surprise, looking at the person who suddenly appeared, and then laughed, "66, you finally made it. We've been waiting for you to join us so we can take action."
Lin Yuzan also pushed away the short blade without changing his expression, and chuckled, "Although we are a little late, 66, why did you stay out for so long? I have been waiting for you to act together these days."
66 narrowed his eyes and coldly swept over the two unfamiliar faces. If it weren't for the secret message from Yan Jing reminding him, he might still be wandering outside the city.
66: I’m not stubborn, I just stick to my principles.
He snorted coldly, put away the short blade, and took out the "Lin Yuzan Observation Diary" from an unknown generation under Lin Yuzan's slightly twitching eyelids. He wrote indifferently, "The subject of observation has appeared, pending investigation... castration pending."
Then, he glanced at the two of them expressionlessly and said stiffly, "Your Majesty has ordered Lin Yuzan to finish his work and return to Yanjing as soon as possible."
Wang and Lin looked at each other in confusion, then nodded in unison.
Then, 66 glanced at the curtain lightly and left the sight of the two.
At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent, and Chen Jiaoyi walked in anxiously. Seeing the old man was cleaning up the dishes, she quickly walked up to him and took the picture album away. Seeing his puzzled look, she smiled shyly and ran out quickly.
Lin Yuzan picked up the bowl and chopsticks without changing his expression, and left the main tent with Wang Cheng without staying any longer.
