Chapter 689 - 6: Rising from the Coffin (Part 3)
"..."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment: "Then I’ll go back later."
"Mm."
Ji Xin nodded, then said, "As for others..."
Saying this.
She glanced at Tang Language, who seemed to be in a daze, sighed, and said, "Do as you see fit, I’ll have the people you appoint cooperate with you."
"Alright."
Chen Lusi responded, then immediately began to think about the candidates.
But just then, urgent footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Ji Xin heard it, was momentarily stunned, then looked at the door, and then looked at her snow-white long legs exposed to the air, her expression somewhat unusual.
However.
She quickly took a deep breath and lifted her head.
Just as she lifted her head, she saw Chen Lusi stepping sideways, directly blocking in front of her.
Ji Xin looked at Chen Lusi’s rather tall back, was stunned, then slightly lowered her head.
On the other side.
Shanli, who had already stood up, was also stunned.
And outside, with the footsteps coming closer, a member from the Celestial Strategy Mansion appeared at the door, panting, "Chen Lusi Celestial Strategy, Tangyu Celestial Strategy... Ji Xin Celestial Strategy."
He took a bit of effort before he noticed the wheelchair behind Chen Lusi.
However, he didn’t have time to ponder why Ji Xin was hiding behind Chen Lusi and urgently said, "We just received news from Chang’an that the First Emperor’s Mausoleum is rising! The person in charge over there inquired about headquarters’ handling suggestions."
Hearing this news, the faces of the people present all changed.
"Rising?"
Chen Lusi heard this, looked again at the floating Heirloom Seal of the Realm, and frowned, asking, "Rising to the surface?"
The member from the Celestial Strategy Mansion nodded vigorously, "Yes! That’s what it seems, although the speed isn’t fast, the person in charge there said that at this rate, it might break ground within a week."
"..."
Hearing this
Even if Chen Lusi had to guess, she could guess it was related to the Jade Seal Fragment she had brought back.
"Understood."
At this moment, Ji Xin finally spoke: "Tell the person in charge that headquarters will send someone to handle it, and have them continue to observe."
"Yes."
The member from the Celestial Strategy Mansion heard this, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt at ease.
Although this sounded like a significant issue, perhaps because the public prosecution had just ended, it gave the ordinary members a lot of confidence... plus, Chen Lusi was right in front of him.
Even though it’s such a big matter.
Upon hearing Ji Xin say that headquarters would send someone to handle it, he felt immediate relief.
Very soon.
The member from the Celestial Strategy Mansion left.
Tang Language watched the member leave, then mumbled, "The Emperor’s tomb is rising, really one wave after another, but doesn’t this sound like Emperor Qin Shi Huang is learning from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to rise from the coffin..."
With these words.
The three people present immediately all turned to look at her.
Shanli and Ji Xin both had expressions of looking at an idiot.
"What? Doesn’t it?"
Chen Lusi was resistant to Tang Language, moved away from Ji Xin, and then said, "It seems like we have to go to the First Emperor’s Mausoleum."
"Mm."
Ji Xin moved her gaze away from Tang Language, pondered for a moment, then lightly nodded, "Confirm the team members going to the First Emperor’s Mausoleum in the next two days. Tomorrow... after attending Xia Yue’s funeral, we’ll depart."
Chen Lusi was stunned, "Tomorrow?"
"Mm."
Ji Xin nodded, "After all, it’s been postponed too long; he’s probably getting impatient."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, "Understood."
Hearing this news.
Tang Language also stopped talking about rising from the coffin.
But Ji Xin didn’t let them continue to sink into this mood and directly said, "Tang Language, go do your thing. As for Chen Lusi, I’ll later send you the materials the first batch of Celestial Strategy recorded regarding the First Emperor’s Mausoleum; take a look in Peng City when you have time.
As for the complete Heirloom Seal of the Realm... I’ll research it immediately, and if there’s any progress before you leave, I’ll let you know."
"Alright."
Chen Lusi responded, then prepared to leave with Tang Language.
After all, they seemed to have come at a bad time.
The two left the room one after the other.
But just as Chen Lusi was about to step out of the room.
"Chen Lusi."
Ji Xin suddenly called out again, stopping him.
Chen Lusi turned his head in confusion.
Ji Xin softly said, "Thank you."
Chen Lusi thought for a moment and knew what she was referring to, replying, "No problem, and I was the one who interrupted first, but I’m curious, why mind? Isn’t wearing shorts very normal?"
"Of course, it’s normal for ordinary women."
Ji Xin calmly replied, "But I’m a cripple, I’ll change back to long pants later, if you have more to discuss, you can come back then."
"What does it matter?"
Chen Lusi heard this and showed a puzzled expression again, "Aren’t you fine as you are?"
Ji Xin: "..."
"I just think it looks nice, rare to see a refreshing feeling from you...summer is almost completely over, next time you want to wear it, you might have to wait until next year."
Chen Lusi thought about it, left a soft word, and then turned to leave.
Ji Xin was stunned in place, until Chen Lusi left, she didn’t speak again.
"Refreshing feeling."
Until.
Shanli, who didn’t say a word throughout, suddenly repeated, "He indeed has a point, does give a refreshing look..."
Ji Xin snapped back, glaring at Shanli, "You still dare to speak!? Your stupid idea!? Can’t go back for a massage!? Why here!? And said something like my legs look like they are about to degenerate!? Good thing I didn’t listen to you and take off my pants directly!"
Shanli’s previously expressionless face showed a slightly mischievous smile, "Who knew Chen Lusi would suddenly burst in."
"Idiot! Close the door! Bring me the Heirloom Seal of the Realm!"
Ji Xin pursed her lustrous red lips, softly cursed, and ignored her.
... But didn’t mention changing back into long pants either.
On the other side.
After Chen Lusi left the room, Tang Language, waiting for him in the corridor, immediately came up with anticipation, "Chen Lusi... can I also join the team at the First Emperor’s Mausoleum? Didn’t you say to let me join the mobile unit?"
Chen Lusi looked at the eager Tang Language, curiously asked, "....Why do you want to be involved?"
"Because... I’m really interested in Emperor Qin Shi Huang rising from the coffin!"
Tang Language blinked, "Though it feels a bit strange to mention this before Xia Yue’s funeral, but do you trust me, Chen Lusi... I just feel Xia Yue isn’t dead!
I have no evidence, but that’s just how I feel! Just as I feel sticking by your side is safe! I feel he is definitely not dead! Xia Yue and you will surely not die easily!
So I decided to satisfy my curiosity first!"
Chen Lusi: "...."
Tang Language blinked again, "How about it?"
Chen Lusi didn’t agree directly, "I’ll think about it."
"Oh..."
Tang Language heard this answer and slightly lowered her head in response, visibly a bit disappointed.
But since Chen Lusi didn’t outright refuse, she couldn’t say more.
Chen Lusi saw her like this and suddenly chuckled softly, then began to walk forward.
Tang Language quickly came to her senses and immediately ran after him.
But as they walked.
Tang Language seemed to think of something and suddenly reached out a small hand, grabbing Chen Lusi’s palm tightly.
Chen Lusi paused his steps, turned back, and looked at her puzzled.
Tang Language slightly raised her head, her fair face full of seriousness, so much so that it almost seemed silly: "Even though I said earlier you wouldn’t die easily... but don’t do anything silly, not even fake death.
After all, now, you’re important to many people, myself included."
Chen Lusi looked at the rarely serious Tang Language, was silent for a moment, then nodded, ".....Mm."
"..."
Tang Language heard the definite answer and immediately showed a silly smile again, releasing his hand, "That’s good...oh, by the way, Chen Lusi, I heard what you said earlier, do you really like looking at Ji Xin’s big white legs?"
Chen Lusi: "..."
Really, I’m sorry.
I actually had expectations for Tang Language...
