Flower-picking thief!? Brother, you are a man, okay? Shouldn't you shout to catch the thief at this time? Wu Tianlu gritted his teeth and got up, trying hard to say: "Don't shout, I am..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, Wu Tianlu fainted.
Tang Xiaohao put down the quilt and stepped forward cautiously. When he got closer, he realized that Wu Tianlu was the beggar leader he had seen today.
Tang Xiaohao quickly lit the candle. After making sure, his mind was filled with questions. I wonder why this damn beggar broke the window and came into his room in the middle of the night? Isn't this guy here to repay a favor? I've heard that a fox repays a favor, a crane repays a favor, and a beggar repays a favor.
This is my first time to repay a favor.
Or is it that when he saw me today, he was attracted by my handsome and beautiful appearance, so he mustered up the courage to confess in the middle of the night?
At this time, Tang Dun shouted from outside the hospital: "Master, are you okay?"
Tang Xiaohao shouted back: "It's okay, you can go to bed. If something really happens, by the time you ask, I will be completely cold!" After saying that, Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu and said, "Even if someone really wants it,
No matter what you do to me, no one will come in to help me. You are lucky to be a dead beggar."
Tang Dun, who was in the courtyard, walked to the entrance of the courtyard and found that the two soldiers guarding the entrance of the side courtyard were already fast asleep. These two elderly soldiers were deliberately arranged by Nan Rong Wenjun. One was deaf and the other was blind.
The purpose is to hope that if there are robbers, thieves, assassins, etc. in the house, once they break into the side courtyard where Tang Xiaohao lives, there will be no time to rescue him if anything happens.
Tang Dun looked at the house in the distance, yawned and went back to sleep.
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward to check. He had been in martial arts since he was a child, and he also knew some basic medical skills. He could tell whether Wu Tianlu's bones were OK by at least touching them. After confirming that Wu Tianlu's bones were fine, he dragged Wu Tianlu to the bedside, and then struggled to carry him.
Just throw it on the bed.
Tang Xiaohao stood there with his hands on his hips and looked at Wu Tianlu: "I didn't expect that the first person to sleep on my bed was not only a beggar, but also a man. What evil did I do in my previous life?"
After that, Tang Xiaohao looked at the broken window again: "It's better to repair it yourself to avoid anyone asking tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Wu Tianlu woke up and found that he was sleeping on a fragrant bed, and there were many cute dolls hanging above. Those dolls were either rabbits or kittens and puppies, which looked like
It's a girl's boudoir.
Wu Tianlu observed for a while, and when he was about to get up, he found that he was suffering from heartbreaking pain in his chest and back. It seemed that he had suffered serious internal injuries. Just when he was about to use magic power to temporarily relieve the pain, a handsome and beautiful face appeared.
He slowly came up.
The startled Wu Tianlu quickly recognized that this was the young man who asked the Shendu Army to let him into the city yesterday.
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu with half-squinted eyes: "Are you awake? Are you hungry? Can I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
Wu Tianlu immediately said: "Why am I here?"
Tang Xiaohao sat on a stool nearby: "How do I know? You broke the window and fell in last night."
As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao pointed to the broken window that he had covered with floral cloth, with a cute little white rabbit embroidered on it.
Wu Tianlu said: "Brother, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit seriously injured. Please help me get up. I'll leave right away."
Tang Xiaohao said, "Why are you walking? I'm so injured that I can't even speak. Keep lying down."
Wu Tianlu wondered: "But it's not appropriate for a grown man like me to sleep in a girl's boudoir."
Tang Xiaohao said expressionlessly: "This is my room, what do you mean?"
Huh? Wu Tianlu subconsciously looked at the dolls hanging on the bed, the cute embroidery, and the piece of floral cloth blocking the window. Then he looked at Tang Xiaohao and thought: Could it be that this kid is what people often call now - a sissy?
?
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu with surprise on his face: "I know what you are thinking? If a man likes embroidery, dolls, makeup and cooking, then he is a sissy."
Isn't it? Wu Tianlu asked tentatively: "Then you are a transgender?"
Tang Xiaohao raised his fist: "I'll cross you, uncle, do you believe that I will let you cross life and death right now?"
Wu Tianlu said quickly: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to discriminate against you."
"Fuck..." Tang Xiaohao almost had murderous intentions, stood up and left, "Anyway, you should recover from your injuries first, and then we'll talk about it after you recover. Lie down and I'll feed you."
Wu Tianlu was stunned: "Ah?"
Tang Xiaohao stopped and turned around: "I said I would go to the kitchen and cook you a bowl of noodles. Be good and don't move."
Wu Tianlu had no choice but to lie down, but he always felt that this little brother exuded the aura of a bastard.
——
Shendu Military Yamen, morgue.
As soon as Tang Chen walked to the door, he smelled the pungent smell. Just as he covered his mouth and nose with his hand, Mu Yinghao, the commander of the Shendu Army, appeared behind him.
Tang Chen said: "General Mu."
Mu Yinghao cupped his hands and said: "General Tang, my subordinates know that you are busy with military affairs, but this matter is too strange. I dare not decide it alone, so I sent someone to ask the general."
Logically speaking, the commanders of the Shendu Army and the Iron Armored Guards should all be of the same rank, and both should be the first-grade General Jianwei. However, because Tang Chen is the son-in-law of Nanrong Qufeng, the commander-in-chief of the Shendu Army was lowered by half.
He became a first-level Zhenwei general.
Tang Chen asked: "Why are you so anxious?"
Mu Yinghao stepped aside: "General, please."
After the two entered the morgue, Tang Chen saw corpses soaked in five of the twelve pools in the morgue. The five corpses were soaked in potions to avoid decay and prevent infectious diseases.
Mu Yinghao explained: "When I was patrolling the city in Dongying last night, I found several people fighting with each other. Two of them were seriously injured. When the soldiers patrolling Dongying stepped forward to stop them, the leader fled, and the remaining two were killed by the soldiers.
The two who were seriously injured were not rescued, and later we found another body in a nearby inn."
What Mu Yinghao was talking about was exactly what happened last night when Wu Tianlu led people to hunt down Zhang Haotian and Liao Ran. At this time, Wu Tianlu did not know that among the four men he brought, except for himself and one other person who escaped, the other three
have died, two of them also died at the hands of the Shendu Army.
Tang Chen looked at the five corpses in the pool, but first looked at the three on the right: "These three are in ragged clothes and look like beggars."
Mu Yinghao nodded slightly and said nothing. He just looked at Tang Chen and paid attention to the expression on his face.
Tang Chen looked at the two corpses on the left again: "As for these two people...are those their weapons next to them?"
Mu Yinghao said: "Yes, it is their weapon, it should be the Stele Ming Dao."
"Stele Ming Knife?" Tang Chen frowned, "The people who broke the Golden Gate... do those two beggars also have weapons?"
Mu Yinghao said: "When the two beggars were discovered by people from Xiying, they were wearing long bows, short knives on their waists, and some strange talismans. I don't know what they are used for."
Tang Chen was confused: "In Shendu City, except for the Shendu Army, the armored guards and the people who arrested the Yamen, no one else is allowed to carry weapons in and out of the city. Have you checked all the four gates in the east, west, south and north? What happened to these people?
Coming in?"
Mu Yinghao had been waiting for this moment: "I just found out this morning that these beggars and the two people who broke the Golden Gate all came in through the west gate."
Tang Chen was stunned, and immediately thought that Che Zhihai had also come in through the west gate yesterday, but he didn't know that Che Zhihai was being followed, and he didn't even know about these beggars. He just guessed in his mind whether it had anything to do with it.
?
Soon, Tang Chen guessed that it must be related, because Mu Yinghao did not say any more, but looked at him with an indescribable expression on his face, like a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into a trap.
However, Tang Chen has not yet realized that if he falls into this trap, he will be doomed.
Tang Chen deliberately asked: "Ximen? This is strange. Yesterday, a person pretending to be a cavalryman of the Iron Armored Guard also entered Shendu City from the west gate, and that person actually held the title of Iron Armored Guard. Do you think these things will happen?
There won’t be any contact?”
Tang Chen turned his back on the guest and deliberately pushed the question to Mu Yinghao, hoping to see what he would say.
Mu Yinghao didn't know about Che Zhihai and thought it was Tang Chen's excuse, so he said: "I don't know if there is any contact, but the sentry at Ximen confessed that he collected two silver dragons from Mr. Tang. This
That’s why we let those beggars enter the city.”
Oops! Tang Chen was shocked. He didn't expect that the matter was related to his son Tang Xiaohao. At the same time, he judged in his heart, what is the chance of Mu Yinghao lying? In the end, he thought that Mu Yinghao should not lie, because of this
The lie was too clumsy, and what’s more, that bastard could do such a thing. Although this boy was smart, he was sometimes too kind. He must have felt compassion when he saw the Shendu Army in Ximen not letting beggars enter the city.
Tang Chen said angrily: "Is this really happening?"
Mu Yinghao said to the outside: "Bring the Ximen sentry here."
Soon, two soldiers brought up the tied-up West Gate sentry. This sentry was the little leader who had captured Tang Chen's red dragon eye yesterday.
The little boss had been beaten all over his body and his eyes were so swollen that he could not open them.
Tang Chen looked at the little boss. He was worried not only about Tang Xiaohao, but about the red dragon eye he gave him yesterday. If the little boss confessed all this, then there would be something wrong with the Nanrong family.
As long as Nanrong's music style makes a fuss, everything will be over.
However, Tang Chen still did not want to believe that the Nanrong family had noticed his actions, because Nanrong's style had never shown it, and his wife Nanrong Wenjun did not show any abnormalities.
Therefore, this matter is probably just something that Mu Yinghao, a retainer of the Nanrong family, wanted to find out about himself.
Tang Chen looked at the little leader and asked, "Let me ask you, why did you let those beggars into the city yesterday?"
The little leader, who was held up by two soldiers, tried his best to open his eyes and look at Tang Chen: "Because Mr. Tang felt that they were pitiful, he gave me two silver dragons and asked me to let them in."
When Tang Chen was asking questions, Mu Yinghao kept staring at him, rubbing the fingers of his right hand gently, ready to draw the knife at any time. He drew the knife not to do anything to Tang Chen, but because he was afraid that Tang Chen would kill someone and silence him.
Tang Chen asked again: "Who is Master Tang you are talking about?"
The little boss said: "The son of Tang Chen, the commander of the Royal Armored Guard."
Tang Chen's heart was in his throat, but he still had to continue asking: "Then do you know who I am?"
The little boss took a look and said, "General Tang."
Tang Chen immediately asked: "Is what you said true?"
The little boss said: "Everything is true."
Tang Chen asked again: "So, besides those beggars, do you know the other two people in the pool?"
Mu Yinghao didn't expect Tang Chen to ask this, so he quickly said: "He doesn't know him."
When Tang Chen heard Mu Yinghao's answer, he knew it was time to fight back. Mu Yinghao rushed to say that he didn't know the little boss. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the two people and he didn't want Tang Chen to know.
So, Tang Chen said: "I asked him, not you."
The little boss looked towards the pool, looked at it for a while and said: "We know each other, these two people are..."
At this moment, Mu Yinghao stepped forward and kicked Tang Chen, because Tang Chen saw Mu Yinghao take action and quickly stepped forward to block it.
Mu Yinghao immediately knelt down on one knee: "General, atone!"
Tang Chen ignored Mu Yinghao and didn't ask him to get up. He just continued to ask the little boss: "Who are these two people?"
The little boss tried his best to open his eyes to look at Tang Chen, and found that there was pleading in Tang Chen's eyes.
This morning, the little boss couldn't bear the torture, so he could only tell the story about Tang Xiaohao, but he didn't mention anything about Tang Chen giving them a red dragon eye as hush money.
The little boss knows that he is in a humble position and cannot control his own destiny, but the lives of Tang Chen and his son are now in his hands. Once he explains everything clearly, Tang Chen and his son will be completely finished.
The little boss thought about the days when he and Tang Xiaohao had a good time drinking and talking, and also recalled that Tang Chen could have shut up in other ways last night, but chose to give him a red dragon eye. After many years in the army, the only thing that regarded him as a human being was this.
Father and son.
Therefore, the little leader loudly said: "Those two people hold the tokens of the Nanrong family, so I have to let them enter the city!"
After he finished speaking, the little leader suddenly jumped up, broke away from the two soldiers, and hit the wall directly, dying on the spot.
Everyone present was shocked. Mu Yinghao had no idea that the little boss would commit suicide. Although Tang Chen felt sad, he also knew that he had passed the disaster safely.
Now, it’s time to focus on customers.
Tang Chen looked at Mu Yinghao who was kneeling and did not dare to get up: "He said that those two people are from the Nanrong family and they still hold the token of the Nanrong family? This is strange. Could it be that the people of the Nanrong family now rely on their own
Can I enter the divine capital with a weapon just by holding the token?"
Tang Chen's implication was that Mu Yinghao had instructed the four guards to release those who held the Nanrong family's token. If this matter was confirmed, the Nanrong family could be directly labeled as treason.
Mu Yinghao lowered his head and replied: "General, that boy is talking nonsense. You have also seen that these two people are holding stele-ming knives. They are obviously the ones who broke the Jinmen. How can they be from the Nanrong family?"
Tang Chen said coldly: "But this guy said before that those beggars were brought to the city by my son, and he said it was true."
Mu Yinghao knew that he was in a hurry, so he could only say that the little leader was talking nonsense. Now that the person was dead, even if there were other soldiers present at the time, those people had asked one by one, and no one heard that it was Tang Xiaohao's request to let the beggar go.
, and no one saw the little boss accepting the Silver Dragon.
Since there is no proof and Mu Yinghao has taken the initiative, this matter cannot be pursued any further.
Mu Yinghao could only say: "My subordinates think that he is also talking nonsense."
When Tang Chen saw what Mu Yinghao said, he stretched out his hand to help him up: "General Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you. It must be that the sentry guard was talking nonsense due to illness."
Mu Yinghao still lowered his head: "Yes."
Tang Chen added: "However, there are people with heretics entering the city armed with weapons. This matter must be investigated clearly. In addition, the origin of those beggars is not simple. From now on, the Shendu Army will strictly inspect the city. If necessary,
, I can allocate some armored guards from the imperial city to assist."
"Don't dare!" Mu Yinghao said quickly, "I will go and investigate right now."
After Mu Yinghao left in a hurry, Tang Chen looked at the body of the little boss. He knew that he could escape this disaster today not only because he treated the soldiers well and loved them like his own son, but also because his son was not a real soldier.
asshole.
Now what Tang Chen can do for this sentry is to bury him properly and take good care of his family and children.
Mu Yinghao, who was hiding in the corner, watched Tang Chen personally carry the body of the little boss and leave. He was also clear that the little boss did not lie and that the beggar was indeed let in by Tang Xiaohao. Although he did not think that Tang Xiaohao was related to those
The beggar originally knew and colluded with each other, but he originally wanted to use the topic to suppress Tang Chen, who was originally equal to him in terms of grade and official rank.
Unexpectedly, the little boss was able to die for their father and son. This chapter has been completed!
