Farmer’s Wife Has Magic Skills - Chapter 1011

  Chapter 1011 Chapter 1011. It can’t disappear out of thin air

  Chu Qingzhi stood at the door and looked at the situation in the tent, “What happened?”

  Tang Jinghong raised his eyes, “Just now the scouts came to report that Xia Sangguo has occupied the entire Chen’an country. Chen’an country is now sparsely populated, and all the distress letters have been intercepted. By the time we know it, it will be too late.”

  Meng Shengdong said solemnly, “Chen’an is a vassal state of our Daling, and his occupation of the vassal state is tantamount to declaring war directly. This war must be fought if not fought.”

  Chu Qingzhi lowered her eyes and thought for a while, “Jing Hong, what do you think?”

  Tang Jinghong’s eyebrows were chilled, “On the one hand, he reported to the court, and on the other hand, he joined forces with General Chen to meet the enemy.”

  Chu Qingzhi was silent for a moment, “Then you are dedicated to meeting the enemy, and leave the other trivial matters to me.”

   Tang Jinghong nodded, “OK.”

  They still had to discuss how to fight the battle, Chu Qingzhi left the camp and went to Liangcheng. There was no clue about the official salt before, so she went to have a look.

  Zeng or came to report the situation, “Guanyan is missing on the road between Liangcheng and the next city, do you want to take a look?”

  Chu Qingzhi said, “Lead the way.”

  Come to the place where the official salt disappeared. Here is a forest. An official road passes through the forest. The forest is very dense. It is daytime, but the forest is a bit dark.

  Chu Qingzhi looked around, it was a good place to rob.

  Zeng or pointed to the right direction, “There is an uninhabited village over there. Before Tangling had smallpox, people from many villages went out to flee, and none of them came back.”

  Chu Qingzhi looked in that direction, thought for a moment, “Go and see.”

  In the past so many days, there are no traces around, and all the insiders are dead. There is no way to find out, and it can only rely on luck for the time being.

  The two of them crossed the mountains and came to the uninhabited village.

  Weeds have already taken over the village, and the roofs are covered with weeds. The village will be completely swallowed up by weeds in a year or so.

  Chu Qingzhi walked to the left, ready to walk around the uninhabited village, and if she found nothing, she was ready to leave.

   I never thought about it, but I heard a sound after walking a few steps, “Who?”

  Chu Qingzhi’s spiritual sense quickly locked on to it, but she didn’t expect it to be a child.

  The child was in tatters, with messy hair, like a chicken coop, unable to tell the difference between male and female, and was running in one direction at a fast speed, as if running desperately.

  Chu Qingzhi jumped in front of the child, and the child ran wildly, bumping directly into it.

  The child hurriedly raised his head, seeing the people behind him running to the front, he panicked even more, turned around and ran again.

  Chu Qingzhi directly lifted the child up, and then saw the child hanging in the air, his legs slid quickly, his little face was covered with cold sweat, like an injured and frightened deer.

  Chu Qingzhi was amused and said with a smile, “No one has ever escaped from my hand, are you sure you want to escape?”

   “Let me go, let me go…” the child yelled in horror.

  Chu Qingzhi asked Zeng He, “Am I so scary?”

   Zeng or guessed, “This kid must have seen something scary recently, and that’s why he’s so scared when he sees people.”

  Chu Qingzhi put the child on the ground, “Have you seen anything recently?”

  The child ran away as soon as it hit the ground.

  Chu Qingzhi looked at the child who rushed away like a firecracker, “…”

  Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi pursed her lips, jumped in front of the child, and the child bumped into her again.

  The child turned around and ran again.

  Then I saw the child running non-stop, and Chu Qingzhi kept blocking. Finally, the child was exhausted and sat down on the ground before stopping.

  Chu Qingzhi asked with a smile, “Are you still running?”

  The child’s chin was dripping with sweat, and his hair was wet with sweat. He raised his little hand and waved it, “I won’t run away, I can’t run away.”

  Chu Qingzhi took out a handful of candy from her purse and handed it to the child, “Very good, you finally understand this question, can you answer my question now?”

  The child swallowed hard, but did not reach for the candy, “What do you want to ask?”

   “Did you see the scene where the official salt was robbed?” In this barren mountain, Chu Qingzhi couldn’t think of any other horrible things that the child could see.

  The child’s eyes showed fear, “I don’t know what official salt is. I only saw a group of people killing a group of people and taking their things away.”

   Really saw it, Chu Qingzhi asked, “Where was that thing transported?”

  The child pointed in one direction.

  Chu Qingzhi looked, it was the direction of Liangcheng, could it be that the official salt was transported back again?

  Ceng or timely voice, “Come here from Liangcheng, there is no good place to hide things, is it possible to transport them back to the city?”

  Chu Qingzhi said, “Just ask the city guards about this matter.”

  She turned her head and asked the child, “Are you going back to the city with me to the Shantang? Or continue wandering here?”

  The child asked in a low voice, “Is there anything to eat?”

  Chu Qingzhi told him with certainty, “Yes.”

  The child said without any hesitation, “Then I am willing to go back.”

  Chu Qingzhi tilted her head, “Then let’s go.”

  The two, one and one, walked along the official road towards Liangcheng. On the way, Chu Qingzhi spread out her spiritual sense to see if there was anything unusual.

   Along the official road, there are forests first, then bamboo forests, and finally endless plains. There is really no place to hide a large amount of official salt.

  Standing at the gate of the city, Chu Qingzhi looked around, “It can only be transported back to the city.”

   Has or has not objected.

  Chu Qingzhi walked towards the city guards, showed a token, and the officers and soldiers immediately bent down and clasped their fists.

  Chu Qingzhi said bluntly, “I have something to ask you.”

  The city guard said politely, “Excuse me.”

  Chu Qingzhi glanced around, and there were many people looking at them, “Come with me.”

   “Yes.” The city guard followed Chu Qingzhi to a place with few people, and Chu Qingzhi asked him, “Has there been a large quantity of things being transported into the city recently?”

  The city guard thought about it, “There are no large quantities of things going into the city.”

  Chu Qingzhi let go of the coercion, and said sternly, “You’d better think it through before you say it. If I find out in the future, you won’t be able to bear it and walk around.”

  The defenders suddenly felt the heavy weight of the boulder, but they still insisted, “It’s true, please check it out, General.”

  Chu Qingzhi asked again with power words, but the defenders still insisted on what they said at the beginning.

   Chu Qingzhi was very surprised, why not?

  After listening to Chu Qingzhi’s words, Zeng said, “I’ll go back and order someone to investigate. So many officials can’t disappear out of thin air.”

   “Wait a minute.” Chu Qingzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong, “Why did the other party steal the official salt? And the time when the official salt disappeared was before the sacrifice. Is there any connection between the two?”

  Zeng He said, “You mean that the official may have been stolen by someone from the Xuan family, in order to disperse General Tang’s manpower? Let him focus on one thing and lose another?”

  Chu Qingzhi nodded, “I didn’t think of going here before, but now that I think about it, it seems to be related.”
