Chapter 83 Find friends and enter the temple together
Sober up in an instant!
Mr. Deng just felt that the opportunity had come!
Although he could have threatened to use force to enter the temple, he was a respectable person in the Daqian Dynasty, so it would be a big loss if he did so.
But if the prefect himself wants to enter the temple and happens to forget to close the door, then... it can only be his own fault, but it has nothing to do with Mr. Deng!
At this point, Mr. Deng also walked up the stairs vigorously, but despite his age and holding a cane in his hand, his pace was really strong and he followed Lan Chen in the blink of an eye.
"Mr. Deng! Why are you here?"
Lan Chen was startled again and was a little confused.
But Mr. Deng quickly raised his hand to his mouth to signal him to be quiet, and then whispered, "Don't make any noise! Follow them. Next to your friend is Huadu Magistrate 'Hua Wuchang'. It seems that they are going into the temple, so I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Lan Chen, who realized something, nodded, "I also heard that only a few people can come and go freely. I thought you were so curious that you were not allowed to go in so early."
"How can that be possible? I also opened the door, but they just wouldn't give it."
"Just talking?"
"What? Don't you think I'm the unreasonable kind?"
"Then why did you come here secretly again?"
"If Hua Wuchang really wants to enter the temple later, and after opening the door, he accidentally faints or forgets to close the door carelessly, what will happen if he goes in?"
Mr. Deng's sincere eyes and quibbling remarks made Lan Chen dumbfounded. He finally understood what an 'old naughty boy' meant.
"By the way, who is Katie Wang? Why is your friend following Hua Wuchang?"
"He helped me deliver a batch of goods and then disappeared..."
Finally, Lan Chen revealed the purpose of this trip.
After hearing this, Mr. Deng shook his head with disbelief on his face, "This is the first time I've heard of someone going to such a big fight over a domestic servant, someone I've only known for a short time."
"Hey." Lan Chen felt a little ashamed and had to scratch his head to cover it up.
It seemed that besides coming to look for Wang Katie, he also had an extra selfish motive - he came out to see places other than Xuzhou.
"But why do you think Hua Wuchang kidnapped your servant?"
Lan Chen hesitated for a moment, then lamented, "I wish I could understand."
It's fair to say that a dignified magistrate of Huadu kidnapped a workshop retainer? But it seems that this matter cannot be concluded easily.
As if thinking of something, Lan Chen patted his head and cursed quietly, "Am I an idiot? Why are you hiding here? I just want to go out and find out what happened now!"
"Stop it." Mr. Deng pulled Lan Chen and said, "Let's take a look first. There's no rush. I'm still waiting for Hua Wuchang to enter the temple."
"But if there's no way to get in, what should I do if I get lost?"
"It's so urgent. We all know it's Hua Wuchang. At worst, I'll go to the magistrate's hall with you the next day."
"Fine."
Lan Chen was a little helpless, feeling the embarrassment of being a thief, but he could only admit that he was unlucky - Mr. Deng was behind him.
After calming down, I can take a closer look.
He squinted his eyes and looked worriedly at Katie Wang's condition.
He seemed to have aged a few years. Although he couldn't see clearly what injuries he had suffered, he vaguely seemed to be unable to straighten his back and was staggering when he walked.
But it was impossible not to walk. Hua Wuchang followed him slowly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, as if he was taking a walk, but he was also close to the temple.
Looking from a distance, this flower is estimated to be around thirty years old, but it does not have the stability of a thirty-year-old.
Most of his face is tattooed with patterns, his clothes are more fancy and thin, and his long hair almost reaches his waist and ends without being tied up.
From a distance, there seems to be a "delicacy", the kind of delicacy unique to the boudoir is looming, and the naughty person walking...
In all likelihood, it’s a ‘short-sleeved’ guy, right?
When the two came to the gate of the temple, Mr. Deng also became nervous, but only received Lan Chen's complaint, "Look, they really want to enter the temple, but there are still two people standing at the gate."
Where is the guard? How do I get in?"
"Hmph, it wouldn't be any easier without you, but now that the situation has come to this, it would be a bit rude not to take you with me. Boy, you're going to be so scared later!"
After saying that, Mr. Deng raised his hand and grasped the back of Lan Chen's neck, and then stared at Hua Wuchang's every move with bated breath.
After a short pause, as if to say something to the guard, all I heard was a squeaking sound.
Hua Wuchang and Wang Katie walked in.
Lan Chen swallowed hard, and he suddenly felt that the surroundings were much colder.
It was obviously caused by Mr. Deng's concentration and the murderous intention that inadvertently leaked out. This alone was enough to make Lan Chen not dare to provoke this person, without even having an idea!
This kind of chill is not directed at oneself, but it makes the air a little thicker.
"Boy, let's go!"
Mr. Deng stared intently, seeing Hua Wuque enter, seeing the door closing, and seeing that critical opportunity!
The moment the creaking door was about to close, Mr. Deng suddenly dragged Lan Chen and rushed forward.
I can't tell how the legs move at all. It seems...not with legs?
In other words, I don’t use my legs very much!
One step is an exaggerated distance!
Lan Chen was shocked, could this be the legendary 'shukuchi jutsu'!?
By the time he reacted, he was already in a secret room with only a few torches.
There was a click and the door was closing.
The guards outside the door looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
"Did you see anything just now?"
The other person shook his head, "I think I saw a dark shadow? Or something? Could it be that I haven't drank yet tonight."
"You drunkard, I just happened to see a stone. Forget it, the prefect has already gone in anyway."
"What do you mean, Lord Magistrate, why are you entering the temple at this hour?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I must be looking for the 'adult' inside!"
"Haha, that's true too."
A door separates the world.
The guard can still make some noises.
At this time, Lan Chen was being tightly covered by Deng Lao. He was so excited that he seemed to be suffocating him to death. He had no choice but to force himself to calm down and quickly signaled Lao Deng to let go of him with his eyes.
Mr. Deng just stared, then let go of his hand, lowering his voice and whispering, "Keep it down! Do you hear me? I don't want to be discovered as soon as I come in."
"I know, then you don't need to be like this. It almost suffocated me to death."
"Hey, it's so hard to come in. I'm so excited."
"I'm old, can't I be more steady? What was that move just now? I'm so dizzy now, and I don't know if it was caused by you!" Lan Chen felt aggrieved and vowed to seek a favor first.
With a clear eye, Mr. Deng also noticed Xiao Jiujiu, and immediately snorted and laughed, "Boy, that move is the 'shrinking ground technique'. Do you want to learn it? If so, just cooperate and don't let Hua Wuchang discover it!"
