Indeed, Little Bell has been in Shendu City for a month, although Tang Xiaohao will appear on the street from time to time to say disgusting earthy love words to those girls and do some incomprehensible things, but basically he is acting, and he has never really hurt anyone.

The little bell looked at Tang Xiaohao and said, "However, it is rumored that if you are a woman in the Shendu City, as long as you pass by, you may be pregnant." ”

Tang Xiaohao said helplessly: "Are you stupid?" You yourself said it was a rumor. I asked Lian Lian and Tang Dun to spread those rumors. ”

The little bell was even more puzzled: "Then what are you doing this?" ”

Tang Xiaohao stretched his waist: "I don't know what I'm trying to do, I just want to live." ”

Tang Xiaohao hummed a small tune and walked forward, and Lian Lian pulled up the cart and followed him.

Tang Dun walked up to the little bell with a puzzled face, and said in a low voice: "If the young master hadn't made himself a playboy, he wouldn't have survived now." ”

Xiao Ling, who was already puzzled, was even more stunned when she heard this, she didn't understand why Tang Xiaohao had to die if he didn't pretend to be a bastard? What kind of bullshit logic is this?

Tang Dun continued to explain: "The young master is not a son-in-law, understand? ”

Little Bell was surprised: "Huh? His mother is a second room? ”

Tang Dun shook his head: "The second room doesn't count, he doesn't know who the is......"

On that snowy night eighteen years ago, Tang Chen returned to the mansion with Tang Xiaohao, who was still in swaddling clothes, and came directly to his wife Nanrong Wenjun, telling her that this was the child born to him by a woman outside.

Nan Rong Wenjun was extremely angry, and wanted to ask someone to drown the child at that time, but Tang Chen's words directly made her break her mind.

Nan Rong Wenjun's father is the military department Shangshu Nan Rong Qu style, if Tang Chen hadn't married her, he wouldn't have the status he has today. Therefore, Tang Chen didn't dare to marry the second room, and he couldn't even look at the women outside. It's just that Nanrong Wenjun and Tang Chen have given birth to two children over the years, and they are all girls.

Tang Chen originally doted on his two daughters, thinking that even daughters could inherit all this, and wanted to train one of the strong-tempered daughters to become a woman in the army. However, Nanrong's family thinks that sooner or later their daughter will marry and their son will be able to pass on the family, so they want to have another son.

However, I don't know if Tang Chen has a problem, or Nan Rong Wenjun is old, no matter how hard the two of them work, even if they applaud love several times a day, Nan Rong Wenjun's stomach does not move.

The most important thing is that Tang Chen has signed a marriage contract with the royal family of Jiuyuan Kingdom, and it is two-way, that is to say, Tang Chen has to choose a daughter to marry into the royal family, and he has to marry a prince again, and his son has to marry a girl from the royal family, even if he can't marry a princess, he has to marry a county lord.

To sum up, if there is no son and the marriage contract is not completed, it is tantamount to unilaterally breaking the contract, that is, the crime of defrauding the king.

The reason why the royal family wanted to sign a marriage contract with Tang Chen was entirely because of his father-in-law's Nanrong style. Nanrong Qufeng is a secretary of the military department, although he is a civilian official, the Nanrong family originally belonged to local warlords and held heavy troops. The Shendu Army, which is responsible for the defense of Shendu City, is actually the private soldiers of the Nanrong family, and their allegiance is not to the royal family, but to the Nanrong family.

In order to cope with all this, the royal family set up the Royal Iron Guard a few decades ago, and Nangong Qufeng directly selected Tang Chen, who was still waiting outside the palace at that time, to enter the Iron Guard, and supported him all the way to become the commander of the Iron Guard, in other words, the Royal Iron Guard is nominally a royal guard, but in fact it is still subordinate to the Nanrong family.

This is the reason why Tang Xiaohao was able to survive eighteen years ago, otherwise he would have been drowned in the ice river by Nanrong Wenjun.

In order to protect his only son, Tang Chen did not dare to tell his mother's true identity, but only said that he died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, so as not to cause trouble for Tang Xiaohao to find his mother in the future.

Although Tang Xiaohao survived, he was always a threat in the eyes of Nanrong Wenjun. Nan Rong Wenjun later decided to simply recruit a son-in-law for one of his daughters to inherit the family business. To put it bluntly, she just thinks that all of Tang Chen's current affairs come from the Nanrong family, and since Tang Xiaohao does not have the blood of the Nanrong family in his body, he can't get a single chicken feather from the Nanrong family.

Because of the marriage, the Nan Rong family didn't dare to start directly, let alone watch Tang Xiaohao being cultivated by Tang Chen as the heir, so Nan Rong Wenjun could only find a way to cultivate Tang Xiaohao into a waste loser who couldn't be literate, and couldn't be determined.

Tang Chen naturally knew all this, but he couldn't oppose it openly, so he could only educate Tang Xiaohao in private. Therefore, Tang Xiaohao knew in his heart that the so-called mother Nan Rong Wenjun was not his own mother, and he was also planning to kill himself, if he performed too well, it would not be far from death, which is why he had to build himself into the first scumbag in the super bastard imperial capital.

Little Bell looked at Tang Xiaohao's back in the distance, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful, it should be said that he was suffering from the same illness as himself.

Tang Xiaohao, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, because he saw a group of beggars in ragged clothes, holding sticks and carrying broken straw mats in their hands, running towards him.

After the group of beggars ran past Tang Xiaohao, Tang Xiaohao was still standing there watching them.

Tang Dun stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, what's so nice about a group of beggars?" ”

Tang Xiaohao thought for a while and said, "It's not good, something is going to happen." ”

Lian Lian was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Tang Xiaohao explained: "The two bastards riding a black horse chased the young man riding a white horse, and this group of beggars looked at the ground while running, and what they saw should be horseshoe prints, so this group of beggars was either chasing the young man on a white horse, or chasing the two people riding a black horse, and the most important thing is that this group of beggars should not be ordinary people." ”

The little bell was puzzled: "How do you see it?" ”

Tang Xiaohao came to the place where the beggars walked, pointed to the footprints on the ground and said: "That group of beggars looks skinny, and they can leave such deep footprints when they run on the muddy ground, which means that they are all equipped with martial arts, and their strength is concentrated in the lower plate, so that they can run for a long time." ”

The little bell is also a martial arts practitioner, although he is not a master, but the basic truth is still understood. But how could Tang Xiaohao understand this? He also knows kung fu? No, he was kicked several meters away by those two bastards on black horses before, if he knew kung fu, even if he couldn't beat him, he should be able to dodge, right?

——

At the same time, the young man on the white horse had already rushed to the north gate of Shendu City, and the Shendu army guarding the city gate immediately went to stop: "Dismount immediately and disarm your weapons!" ”

The young man on the white horse neither disarmed nor dismounted, but took out a waist card engraved with "Iron Guard": "I am Che Zhihai, the captain of the Royal Iron Guard, I have military affairs, let me enter the city, I want to meet General Tang!" ”

Although the Shendu Army was not under Tang Chen's jurisdiction, they were very clear about the relationship between the Royal Iron Guards and the Shendu Army, so when the Shendu Army dispersed, they also withdrew the rejection horses, so that Che Zhihai could enter the city.

Soon after Che Zhihai rode into the city, the two big men on black horses also rushed to the city, and the Shendu Army naturally stepped forward with weapons to surround the two, and the two big men did not get off their horses, but threw a token in the arms of the small leader of the Shendu Army guarding the city gate and asked: "Was there a young man riding a white horse with a double sword on his back before?" ”

The little leader of the Shendu Army looked at the word "Nanrong" written on the token, trembled, immediately lowered his head and held the token high, and stepped forward respectfully: "Two adults, the younger one has eyes and no beads, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Scar Man asked, "Answer my question." ”

The little leader immediately said: "Back to the two adults, that person has just passed less than a moment." ”

The bearded man asked again, "Do you know who he is?" ”

The little leader replied, "He holds the Iron Guard Waist Card, and he claims to be the Royal Iron Guard Captain Che Zhihai. ”

The Iron Guard Cavalry Captain is also a seventh-rank rank, this little leader doesn't even have a grade, plus the waist card that can enter and exit the imperial capital at will, so he naturally doesn't dare to stop it. And now these two extremely arrogant men are from Nanrong's family, and the little boss doesn't dare to raise his head.

Because the little boss knew very well that even if these two people from the Nanrong family killed him here, he could only consider himself unlucky.

The two big men glanced at each other, but the scar man smiled: "Sure enough, it's Tang Chen's person." ”

The beard also smiled: "Then there is no hurry." ”

The two rode slowly into the Shendu City, and when they were far away, the little leader of the Shendu Army looked up at the backs of the two and wiped the sweat from his forehead by the way.

——

Che Zhihai rode to the yamen where the royal ironclad guard was, and the white horse had already jumped off before he could stand up, and after landing on the ground, he held his waist card and went straight to the gate: "I want to see General Tang on the horse!" ”

After the soldiers at the door saw the waist card, they immediately opened the gate and let Che Zhihai in.

Che Zhihai ran all the way to the main hall, and Tang Chen, who was reviewing the official documents, saw Chen Zhihai coming in, and immediately got up to greet him: "Why are you back?" ”

Che Zhihai was sent by Tang Chen to Nanrong's house, and he has been lurking in Nanrong's house for three years. He was originally just an ordinary soldier saved by Tang Chen many years ago, but because of his loyalty, he was left by Tang Chen's side.

Later, Tang Chen realized that the power of the Nanrong family was too great and there was a suspicion of rebellion, so he simply let Che Zhihai, who was not well known to others, lurk into the Nanrong family. On the occasion of parting, Tang Chen specially told him that unless it was an emergency, Chen Zhihai could not reveal his identity, nor could he casually show his waist card. Today, Che Zhihai can suddenly open his identity and run back, something big must have happened.

Moreover, the night Che Zhihai left, he was inadvertently seen by Tang Xiaohao, which is why Tang Xiaohao felt that Che Zhihai was familiar before.

Che Zhihai hugged his fists and said: "General, the big thing is not good, the Nanrong family is raising the armor in private!" ”

Tang Chen was stunned when he heard this, and asked for a long time: "What?" Keeping carapace? Can that thing still be raised? ”

Suddenly, Che Zhihai's serious and anxious expression changed, revealing a weird smile: "Of course I can raise it." ”

Before the words fell, Che Zhihai directly pulled out the double swords on his back, and Tang Chen, who had already noticed it, took the initiative and directly kicked over Che Zhihai, pulled out his saber and pointed at Che Zhihai who was lying on the ground with his hands off the double swords.

Tang Chen frowned and said, "Zhihai, you are infected. ”

Che Zhihai smiled disapprenously: "Probably, but, I feel very comfortable and there is no discomfort." General, why don't you join us? Sooner or later, this world will belong to the caricature. ”

Many soldiers had already rushed into the lobby, but Tang Chen said sharply: "All retreat!" ”

The reason why Tang Chen asked the others to retreat was because so far, they had not figured out what the infection method of the carcass was, because the imperial court had discovered in the early years that the carabiners could be mixed with humans, and it seemed that not everyone would be infected with the carapaces, and those carabiners would not harm people on a large scale, and they would always keep a low profile, and they didn't know what the ultimate goal was, did they just want to coexist with humans?

However, there are still many people who have been killed by the carapace, and those who have been killed have all turned into dead corpses without exception. Therefore, to the court of the Nine Plains Kingdom, the armor is still a mystery.

Che Zhihai looked at Tang Chen's eyes, and when he saw from his eyes that he was a little distracted, he suddenly rolled sideways to avoid it, and at the same time grabbed his double swords and attacked Tang Chen.

Che Zhihai wielded the dual swords extremely fast, far faster than three years ago. Tang Chen also knew that this was not because he was improving his martial arts, but because he was infected and was about to become a decanter.

Tang Chen knew that if Che Zhihai completely turned into a decanter, not only would he take the lives of everyone here, but also threaten the safety of Shendu City, so he had to endure the pain and directly slash it with his knife, along with Che Zhihai's double sword and his head, which were split in half.

"Zhihai, rest in peace." Tang Chen stepped forward and raised his knife to aim at Che Zhihai, who fell to the ground but was still convulsing, and then stabbed the knife into the heart, which is the biggest weakness of the carapace, if the heart is not pierced, once the infected person is completely derogatory to the carapace, there is a high chance that he will be resurrected, and the resurrected carcass will lose their original thoughts as human beings and become the most terrifying existence in the night.

Tang Chen stepped forward to search for the body, and found a bamboo tube from Che Zhihai's waist, and a piece of paper was rolled in the bamboo tube, on which was written part of the information about the Nanrong family that he had spied on.

Tang Chen ordered the soldiers to carry Che Zhihai's body out and burn it, while he sat back in front of the table to check it.

——

Outside the Iron Armor Guard's Yamen, the two big men of the Nanrong family looked at the black smoke rising from the yamen and already understood what was happening.

The scar man said: "It seems that that kid was killed by Tang Chen, and Tang Chen should also get the information." ”

The beard frowned and said, "It would be nice if the infection speed was faster." ”

The scar man said: "It doesn't matter, even if Tang Chen gets the information, there is no evidence, he doesn't dare to report it to the current emperor easily, the current head of the Nangong family is his father-in-law." ”

The beard asked: "Why don't you want to find a way to assimilate Tang Chen?" ”

"I've tried it a long time ago," Scar Man turned to leave, "he's a hexagenite, he can't be assimilated, otherwise he would have been one of us." ”

At sunset, the eyes of the two were glowing red.
