Merry felt a little strange, as if someone had been watching him since the beginning, but when he looked back, he didn't find anything.

There are too many people coming and going, all of them are doing their part, he is just a cook in Wandelou, he is not familiar with the life in Xinling, he is not in the limelight, and it is impossible for him to have enemies seeking revenge, the only explanation can only be that the current situation makes him have to act carefully, and he would rather be more vigilant than take it lightly.

Bai Yan didn't delay for a long time inside, and after he came back, he quietly helped carry firewood and wash vegetables to do handymanship, and the day passed quickly, and when he rested at night, he quietly told the two of them a few words, and then fell asleep in the innermost part of the big kang. Heng Yue and Merry also lay down immediately, and after being busy all day, more than a dozen rough men crowded together in the room soon snored.

After two rounds of patrolling guards, Bai Yan woke up, he sat up and looked at the other end of the kang. Heng Yue and Merry were quietly leaning in the darkness and nodded at him. He stood up, gently pushed open the window, and leaped forward before the cold snap had yet to enter, like a cat walking in the dark, silently disappearing.

The situation in Xinling is complicated, the former general Qiang Germanium has retired behind the scenes for many years, and the local garrison has been reduced from as many as 30,000 to more than 20,000, even so, it is still twice as many as the adjacent city. In addition to the local garrisons, there are also imperial garrisons in the eastern and western counties, there are not many people, but the emphasis is on the imperial grain supply, they feel that they are one level higher than the local army, but they are not as strong as the local army, so conflicts between the two sides occur from time to time. Qiang Germanium's son Qiang Shuyang is an indisputable character, he has been very quiet since he was a child, and he heard that he likes to do some strange things, and his ambition is not on the battlefield, and because of this, the Xinling army was saved in the bloody court battle.

Bai Yan ran very fast, and he was also very careful, the soldiers and horses here were intricately constructed, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out of it, and now the most important thing left by Lin Rui was here, he had to protect him, but he couldn't let him fall into danger and die with him, so he was careful with every step he took, walking on thin ice.

Old Man You asked him to take the token to see the old general of Qiang Germanium, but he didn't say what it was for, he was now like a person crossing the river by feeling the stones, groping inch by inch. Time is pressing, he needs to keep moving, the situation is pressing, and he can't afford to make a mistake, he is like a spinning top that has been spurred on, and he can't stop.

The night was very dark, but the earth was dazzlingly white with snow, and his back seemed very lonely, but his steps were vigorous and steady, and he walked vigorously and firmly!

Shuyang hesitated outside the lingering courtyard gate for a moment, and finally turned to leave.

The person he asked him to find had been found, and he had come to tell him the news, but when he saw the silhouette of Lang Mian projected on the window in front of the courtyard, he thought about it for a while, and decided to say it after he confirmed it.

Because he was afraid of the lingering disappointed expression after seeing the untrue news, the young man who had always been free and uninhibited on the rivers and lakes is now gone, and he has a very heavy thing in his heart, which makes people who are familiar with him unbearable, let alone break his heart, so unless it is confirmed, it is better not to give him hope than to see him disappointed.

The lights in Daddy's room are still on.

He gently tapped the door frame, but received no response.

"Daddy?" he called out, and suddenly heard a noise.

"Daddy?" he stretched out his hand to push the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside, his heart tightened, and he pushed a little harder: "Dad, the child came to say hello to Daddy." ”

The sound in the door stopped abruptly, and then there was a faint clatter of the window frames, and the pivotal man took a few steps back down the steps, and saw a dark shadow leaping from the back window to the eaves, and he rose up to catch up, and the man had already reached the roof at the other end before him.

"Who!" he shouted, but the man clenched his fist at him, then leaped into his own eyes, and was out of sight. He was suspicious in his heart, and before he could speak, he heard his father say: "Don't chase, you come down, I have something to tell you." ”

The room was very bright, but Daddy's face was not good-looking. Shuyang speculated, but he wasn't sure what the situation was, so he stood quietly in place after entering the house.

There were two cups of hot tea poured on the table, steaming, but there was no trace of drinking, and the people who came did not seem to be sitting, coming and going in a hurry.

"Daddy......" Shuyang broke the silence, and he saw another thing on the table, it was a token, very strange, but very delicate. He stepped forward, picked it up, looked at it, and put it down again.

"Do you remember, Uncle Wu in Yinan? Qiang Germanium suddenly sighed and slowly sat down in his chair.

"Remember, Daddy and him...... It's not ......"

"I was annoyed that he aided and funded the Wu clan and broke off relations with him for many years, but a month ago, he ...... His martial arts ......"

The child already knew this. Shuyang replied softly.

"He didn't listen to my advice at the beginning, so I cut off contact with him, but your Uncle You has always been in contact with him, although the Southern Tobacco Merchant Gang is your Uncle You's on the surface, but it is actually the family business of the Wumen, and now his son Lin Rui is here, and he wants to get back what belongs to him, but there is a problem in your Uncle You Gang, Shu Yang, although your Uncle Wu is not recognized by me, but his son Lin Rui is innocent. I think that when my sister-in-law was pregnant with him, we were still going to marry our in-laws, who knew that his family actually gave birth to a boy, and I don't know what he looks like now......" Qiang germanium sighed, falling into the reminiscence of the past, Shu Yang was silent for a while, and said to his father: "So the person is here to ask for help? It just so happens that the person I am looking for is also in the Nanyan house, tomorrow is Uncle You's birthday, I want to celebrate his birthday, and my father has anything to say." ”

"Cheng Jinluo is cunning, Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, the two counties in the east and west have always been on the wrong path with us, tomorrow they will support Cheng Jinluo on his birthday to succeed as the leader of the Southern Tobacco Merchant Gang, Shu Yang, no matter what method you use, you can't let their conspiracy succeed, although our Xinling Army has never been involved in the power struggle, but in today's situation, I am afraid that if you want to protect yourself, you can't. ”

"What does Daddy mean?"

"It's hard to be peaceful in this world! I'm afraid that the country that the emperor laid down will not be able to hold it!"

"Dad?!" Shu Yang was surprised, but Qiang Germanium patted him on the shoulder, shook his head slightly, and said: "You grow up, Dad doesn't want to restrain you anymore, you want to be your craftsman quietly, or let go of the beast in your heart to make a difference in this troubled world, just follow you! ”

"Tuk Tuk ......"

"Pivotal?"

The door creaked open, and Shu Yang stood in front of the door, raising his young and radiant face, and smiling at the lingering man who pushed the door with one hand.

"There's a bureau tomorrow, do you want to come with me?"

……

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"
