The woman may not be crazy, or she may be half crazy.

She remembered some people, some things, some feelings and betrayal, but the emotions were confused.

Before Chen Mu left, the doll fell from the woman's arms.

This dirty, armless doll plays her daughter to a certain extent and becomes the spiritual sustenance of Guardian Qu.

But at this moment, he threw it on the ground and rolled into Chen Mu's sight.

Chen Mu looked at it, picked up the doll and wiped off the dust on it, and put it back in the woman's arms.

However, as his fingertips left the doll, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

His fingertips touched a hard object.

Chen Mu looked up at the woman.

Guardian Qu was still holding the wind chime, turning the memory out of the dusty corner of his mind, and dictating it over and over again...

At this moment, she seemed to be unable to feel anyone around her.

Just lost in memories alone.

Chen Mu carefully held the doll in his arms, and gently tugged the needle and thread connecting the head and neck a few times with his fingers. After a while, he found a stone.

This is a small stone that looks ordinary from the outside.

It is not delicate in color or shape, it looks extremely rough, and no one picks it up even if it is thrown on the ground.

But when I hold it in my hand, I find it very light.

Light as a feather.

Strangely, it is very strong, and even if it is used to use the seven-success power, it is difficult to crush it, which shows its hardness.

"This kind of stone is very rare, why does Guardian Qu put it in his puppet?"

Chen Mu secretly thought about the other party’s intentions.

After a long time, when the sky was getting dark outside the window, Chen Mu put away the pebbles and prepared to leave.

When he stood up and looked up, he saw Guardian Qu fall asleep deeply.

He took out a brand new blanket from the storage space and covered it with the other person. After hesitating for a moment, he hung the wind chime in the woman's arms again on the eaves.

The not-so-clear notes of ‘Ding Ding Dangdang’ re-hide the woman’s expectations.

Although the result is still cold.

...

Back to the room.

The colorful roe is still eating, and the green roe is still unconscious, like a nap beauty.

Their souls did not change last night.

Shao Siming, who had just washed up, didn't seem to be very energetic, and maybe he didn't sleep all night.

"I'll go into the city."

Chen Mu took the wooden comb and helped Shao Siming comb his hair for a while.

Looking at the elegant and noble little beauty in the mirror, she whispered: "I guess I will be back today. You must be careful at home. This place is as I said at the beginning, very unsafe."

Shao Siming held the man's hand, but after thinking about it, he let go, nodding gently to indicate that he would be careful.

After breakfast, Chen Mu left Tianming Valley again.

This time he did not disguise, but directly entered Fenghua City as his true identity, preparing to visit the prefect Deng Wensheng.

Before visiting, Chen Mu went to the Mingwei stationed in Fenghua City.

I plan to see if I can get some reinforcements when necessary.

Unfortunately, after Chen Mu entered the Nether Guard House, the other party learned that he was the newly-fennounced Lord. Although he looked respectful, Chen Mu could still feel that these Nether Guards had been "controlled".

Helplessly, Chen Mu politely rejected the other party's suggestion to send guards to "protect" and went directly to the prefect's house.

When Chen Mu came to the old defeated courtyard again, he couldn't help but sigh.

Sometimes, being an official is really tiring.

Especially when you have the goal of fame and fortune, it will be more uncomfortable and harder than others.

"Sir Deng Wensheng, pay homage to the Lord."

Perhaps someone had already informed me that when Chen Mu entered the courtyard, Deng Wensheng had already put on his washed white and worn official uniforms and was waiting.

After seeing Chen Mu, he did not kneel down, but just gave a simple salute.

The eyes were also cold, but accompanied by a hint of disgust.

In any case, although Chen Mu repeatedly solved major cases and was deeply loved by the empress dowager, because his temperament was the Suzaku Envoy, Deng Wensheng's corresponding attitude was to look despised.

If it weren't for the Lord's identity, I'd probably kicked Chen Mu out long ago.

Chen Mu looked at the other party’s resolute and cold face and said with a smile: “Mr. Deng has never seen me before, can he recognize me directly?”

Deng Wensheng's answer was straightforward and realistic: "There are hidden spies in the city. Whenever any person comes, we will know in advance, so as not to be chewed by some intriguing people."

This "mindful person" is nothing more than a reflection of people like Chen Mu.

If the hospitality is not complete, you will find fault.

Chen Mu pretended not to understand, his smile remained unabated, and he looked at the dim room and was moved and amazed.

"It's amazing."

Chen Mu shook his head and sighed. "It is said that Lord Deng is extremely frugal and innocent, and he is the most handsome officer of all officials of the Great Yan Dynasty. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it.

In the Great Yan Dynasty or the entire world, it is difficult for you to find a second person as diligent and thrifty as Lord Deng, who deserves a role model.

It is their blessing for the people of Fenghua City to have good officials like Lord Deng."

Chen Mu's flattery is seventy percent out of sincerity.

Although I hate the other party’s stubborn intention of pursuing fame and fortune, I fundamentally admire the other party’s style.

Facing Chen Mu's flattery, Deng Wensheng's expression was indifferent, and he looked like an ancient well was not ruthless:

"The Marquis is too good. There are still many innocent officials who are better than me. Deng is just trying to be a good parent official."

Before Chen Mu could speak again, he took the lead and asked, "I wonder what the marquis came to the official's house?"

"Oh, I'm here to find my wife." Chen Mu said.

Deng Wensheng said lightly: "Mrs. Gui has already gone to Tianming Valley, so you can go there to find her."

"The person is missing."

Chen Mu sat on the creaking chair and smiled bitterly. "I have been to the Destiny Valley, but unfortunately my wife and the others did not go to the island, but disappeared halfway. So I can only ask for help from Lord Deng now."

Deng Wensheng looked up and saw Chen Mu staring at him with a smile. He frowned, his tone was cold and without any emotion:

"Then the officials disappointed Mr. Chen. The officials are busy with official business and may not have time to help Mr. Chen find his wife. Mr. Chen should take people to find him, hoping to find Mrs. Gui as soon as possible."

After saying that, he stood up and showed off his gift: "Mr. Marquis, please."

Chen Mu stared at the other party with great interest, while sighing at the other party's courage, he was also a little angry.

Anyway, Bai Xianyu is also one of the four envoys of the Nether Guard.

Such an important official disappeared, as a local official, he should send someone to notify the court and search and rescue as soon as possible.

But looking at Deng Wensheng's actions, it is entirely out of personal likes and dislikes to decide whether to save people.

He hated Mingwei, and as a Qingliu faction, Bai Xianyu's disappearance made him even happier, and it was impossible for him to save people.

"Over the years, Lord Deng has moved here, living a poor life, and devoted himself to the people."

Chen Mu said lightly. "But I want to know whether you have fulfilled your father's responsibilities. Apart from office, you rarely go to work in the government office. Are you afraid of seeing your daughter?"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Deng Wensheng's eyes stabbed Chen Mu like a sharp sword.

"Where is my wife?"

Chen Mu asked again, his eyes glaring. "Tell me, I'll let you atone for your daughter."
