Chapter 1102 Officials Enter Village to Search for Two Women
The woman accepted the order and left. That afternoon, she went directly to the government office in the border town.
After taking out the token from his waist, he went straight to an official!
"This humble official greets Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here?"
"Quickly send a squad of officers to search for him!"
"Looking for someone? Very well, I will take care of it immediately!"
The prefect of the border town was terrified when he saw the token in the woman's hand.
What is that? It's a token that only Her Majesty the Empress's personal guards can possess, so he must unconditionally obey any woman's request.
Before long, the woman led a group of about ten officials and rushed towards the village where Chu Chen was.
After pressing him for answers to no avail, Chu Chen wasn't in a hurry and simply lay down on the bed.
Then, finding Xiao Feng in the way, he kicked him to the side of the bed.
Xiaoyu glared angrily, but there was nothing she could do. All she could hope for now was that the adults could find them quickly and rescue them.
Around noon, Chu Chen opened his eyes, then opened the door and went outside.
A short while later, Pei Yongchang, leaning on his cane, hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
"Brother, a pair of officials have arrived at the village entrance. They seem to be looking for something. Do you have anything you need to prepare?"
Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, thinking to himself, "They've come really fast."
But why did Pei Yongchang come to remind him? Did he know something?
"Haha, let the officials come if they want, what do we have to worry about?"
Chu Chen chuckled, silencing Pei Yongchang.
"Alright, brother, I'll go check out the other houses. They came so suddenly this time, it seems they're still looking for someone. I need to wander around."
Liu Shuixian led a group of officials and entered the village. She sensed something as soon as she entered, but the next moment, she frowned.
Then he chuckled to himself, thinking to himself, "What am I thinking? If I were captured, how could I possibly be hiding in the village? I would have to find a place to hide as quickly as possible."
I hope the two girls won't reveal their secret. It doesn't matter if they live or die; the important thing is the secret.
If it's leaked, it'll probably cause chaos everywhere.
When the Empress comes to punish us, who can withstand it?
"You lot, search house to house. Those two young women look different from the village women. Please keep your eyes peeled..."
At Liu Shuixian's command, the officials rushed into the village with a roar.
What a joke! To be able to work for this person is like having one's ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke; he's someone close to His Majesty!
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Liu Shuixian began to stroll around the village.
She was pondering, wondering who had such great ability to capture the two women, or whether the two women had simply been playing around and run away.
Chu Chen was standing on a high place, coldly watching the officials enter the village, and then he saw Liu Shuixian, who was in charge.
He thought to himself that if they really did search house to house, then the two of them would definitely be discovered.
At that time, I will be in danger.
But if he were to escape with the two of them right now, it would be even more unrealistic. They would probably be spotted and chased before they even left the village.
Although he had firearms, he did not want to clash with the officials unless absolutely necessary.
Besides, how many bullets do you have?
Moreover, the woman in the lead seemed to be more powerful.
"Hmm... the cellar!"
After thinking for a moment, Chu Chen immediately came up with a solution to temporarily hide the two women.
Without hesitation, he dashed into the yard, hoisted Xiao Feng onto his shoulder, and ran off, ignoring the pattering rain beside him.
After hiding Xiaofeng in the cellar, he came back and hid Xiaoyu there as well.
After doing all this, he went back into the house, wiped away all traces, changed into ordinary clothes, covered his equipment, and went straight to the yard, picked up an axe, and started chopping firewood.
Just as Chu Chen picked up his axe, the courtyard gate, which was no longer very strong, was kicked open from the outside by a constable.
"Anyone breathing? Get out here!"
The official, with his nose in the air, didn't even glance at Chu Chen, who was holding an axe in the courtyard, before shouting loudly.
Just then, Liu Shuixian arrived outside Chu Chen's courtyard. Listening to the official's words, she felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
However, she had to admit that, since ancient times, the social hierarchy in this world has determined how officials speak to ordinary people.
Chu Chen looked at the arrogant guy in front of him and thought to himself, "If I didn't have some reservations, I would have chopped you in half with one axe!"
"Officers, what brings you here without any warning?"
Chu Chen's tone was unfriendly, and his grip on the axe tightened!
After hearing Chu Chen's words, the official lowered his head, thinking to himself, "In this day and age, there are still peasants talking to me like this?"
Looking at Chu Chen, they saw a young man holding an axe and staring at their group.
His sense of superiority immediately diminished; that kid's eyes could practically kill.
As a constable who has spent many years in the border town, he may not have any other skills, but he is incredibly good at judging people!
The person in front of me is either a murderer or a former soldier.
"Um... young man, please call your woman out. We've received orders to take a look, and we'll leave once everything is alright!"
Chu Chen found the official's cowardly appearance amusing and, without thinking, coldly replied, "Woman? I don't have any women in my household."
Just then, Liu Shuixian, who was about to leave, frowned immediately upon hearing Chu Chen's words inside.
No women? How could that be? Judging from the voice, it's a vigorous young man. In a world full of widows, how could there be no women?
There are only two possibilities: either the kid is bad and can't stand up for himself.
Or perhaps this person is strange!
It was this curiosity in her heart that made her immediately stop in her tracks and step directly into the courtyard.
"Hey buddy, are you kidding me? How could you not have women? Is your thing broken?"
"You're the one who's bad!"
Who can stand this? You're doing perfectly fine, and then people say you can't hold your own?
Just as Chu Chen and the officials were about to clash, a woman appeared in front of them.
"Young man, you're quite unique, don't you like girls?"
Chu Chen looked up and found that the woman was also looking at him.
Their eyes met, and the same word popped into their minds: beautiful.
Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this: "Hahaha, who said I don't like girls? If there were girls like you, I'd take as many as you wanted!"
"How dare you... are you courting death, brat?"
