Chapter 6: There is no danger
Flower thief!? Big brother, you're a man, right? Shouldn't you shout to catch a thief at this time? Wu Tianlu gritted his teeth and got up, and said hard: "Don't call, I'm ......"
As a result, before he finished speaking, Wu Tianlu fainted.
Tang Xiaohao put down the quilt, stepped forward cautiously, and when he got closer, he found that Wu Tianlu was the beggar he had seen today.
Tang Xiaohao hurriedly lit the candle, and after confirming it, his mind was full of question marks, I don't know why this dead beggar smashed the window into his room in the middle of the night? This guy isn't here to repay the favor, is he? I have heard that the fox repays the favor, the crane repays the favor, and it is the first time that the beggar repays the favor.
Or was he attracted by my handsome and beautiful appearance when he saw me today, so he mustered up the courage to come to confess in the middle of the night?
At this time, Tang Dun's shout came from outside the courtyard: "Young master, are you okay?" ”
Tang Xiaohao replied with a tugging voice: "It's okay, you go to sleep, if there is really something, by the time you ask, I will already be cold!" After speaking, Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu again and said, "Even if someone really wants to do something to me, no one will come in to help me, you are lucky to be a dead beggar."
Tang Dun in the courtyard walked to the gate of the courtyard and found that the two soldiers guarding the gate of the courtyard had fallen asleep. These two elderly soldiers were deliberately arranged by Nan Rong Wenjun, one was deaf and the other was blind, the purpose was to hope that if there were robbers, snitches, assassins or something in the mansion, once they broke into the side courtyard where Tang Xiaohao lived, they would not have time to rescue if something happened.
Tang Dun looked at the room in the distance, yawned and went back to sleep.
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward to check, he has been martial arts since he was a child, and he also knows some basic medical skills, at least touch it to know if there is anything wrong with the bones. After confirming that Wu Tianlu's bones were fine, he dragged Wu Tianlu to the side of the bed, then struggled to carry it and threw it directly onto the bed.
Tang Xiaohao stood at the forked waist and looked at Wu Tianlu: "I didn't expect that the first person to go to bed with me was not only a beggar, but also a man, what did I do in my last life." ”
After that, Tang Xiaohao looked at the broken window again: "It's better to repair it yourself, so as not to ask tomorrow." ”
The next morning, Wu Tianlu woke up and found himself sleeping on a fragrant bed, and there were many cute puppet dolls hanging above, those puppets were either rabbits, kittens, and dogs, which looked like a girl's boudoir.
Wu Tianlu observed for a while, and was just about to get up, but found that he had a heart-piercing pain in his chest and back, and it seemed that he should have suffered serious internal injuries.
Wu Tianlu, who was taken aback, quickly recognized that this was the young man who asked the Shendu Army to let him enter the city yesterday.
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu with half-squinted eyes: "Are you awake?" Hungry or not? I'm cooking you a bowl of noodles? ”
Wu Tianlu immediately said, "Why am I here?" ”
Tang Xiaohao sat on the stool next to him: "How do I know?" You just smashed the window last night and fell in. ”
As he spoke, Tang Xiaohao pointed to the broken window that he had covered with a flower cloth, and a cute little white rabbit was embroidered on the flower cloth.
Wu Tianlu said: "Little brother, I'm really sorry, I'm a little seriously injured, you help me up, I'll leave immediately." ”
Tang Xiaohao said: "What are you going, you are injured like this, you can't talk anymore, and you continue to lie down." ”
Wu Tianlu was puzzled: "However, it is not suitable for me to sleep in the girl's boudoir as a big man." ”
Tang Xiaohao said expressionlessly: "This is my room, what do you mean?" ”
Yes? Wu Tianlu subconsciously looked at the dolls hanging on the bed, as well as the cute embroidery, and the piece of flower cloth blocking the window, and then looked at Tang Xiaohao, thinking: Could this kid be what people often say now-sissies?
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu with a surprised face: "I know what you're thinking?" If a man likes embroidery, dolls, grease and cooking, then he is a sissy. ”
Isn't it? Wu Tianlu asked tentatively: "Then you are transgender?" ”
Tang Xiaohao raised his fist: "Cross your uncle, do you believe it or not, I'll let you cross life and death now?" ”
Wu Tianlu hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to discriminate against you. ”
"I'm ......" Tang Xiaohao almost got up to kill and got up to leave, "Anyway, you recuperate first, and then talk about it when you're well, lie down, I'll give you something to eat." ”
Wu Tianlu was stunned: "Huh? ”
Tang Xiaohao stopped and turned around: "I said I'll go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for you, be good, don't move." ”
Wu Tianlu had to lie down, but he always felt that this little brother exuded a bastard aura all over his body.
——
Shendu military yamen, morgue.
As soon as Tang Chen walked to the door, he smelled the pungent smell, and 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 arched his hand and said: "General Tang, your subordinates know that you are busy with military affairs, but this matter is too strange, I don't dare to make a decision alone, so I sent someone to invite the general to come." ”
The commanders of the Shendu Army and the Iron Guard, it stands to reason that they should all be of the same grade, and they should both be the Jianwei generals of the first grade. It's just that because Tang Chen is the son-in-law of Nanrong Qufeng, the commander of the Shendu Army has been demoted by half a level to become the general Zhenwei of Congyipin.
Tang Chen asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
Mu Yinghao stepped aside: "General, please." ”
After the two entered the morgue, Tang Chen saw that five of the twelve pools in the morgue were soaked in corpses, and all five corpses were soaked in potion to avoid decay and prevent infectious diseases.
Mu Yinghao explained: "Last night, when Dongying patrolled the city, I found several people fighting, two of them were seriously injured, when the soldiers patrolling Dongying stepped forward to stop it, the leader fled, and the remaining two were killed by the soldiers, and the two who were seriously injured were not rescued later, and then we found another body in the inn next to it." ”
What Mu Yinghao said was exactly what happened last night when Wu Tianlu led people to hunt down Zhang Haotian and Liao Ran. At this time, Wu Tianlu didn't know that the four subordinates he brought, except for himself and one other person who escaped, the other three had all died, and two of them died at the hands of the Shendu Army.
Tang Chen looked at the five corpses in the pool, but his eyes first fell to the three on the right: "These three are ragged and look like beggars. ”
Mu Yinghao nodded slightly, didn't speak, just looked at Tang Chen, paying attention to the expression on his face.
Tang Chen looked at the two corpses on the left again: "As for these two people...... Is that their weapon next to it? ”
Mu Yinghao said: "Yes, it's their weapon, it should be the stele sword." ”
"The Stele Sword?" Tang Chen frowned, "The person who broke the Golden Gate...... Do those two beggars also have weapons? ”
Mu Yinghao said: "When the two beggars were found by the people of Xiying, they were carrying long bows, short knives pinned to their waists, and some strange rune paper, I don't know what they were for. ”
Tang Chen was puzzled: "In the Shendu City, except for the Shendu Army, the Iron Armor Guard, and the people who arrest the Yamen, no one else is allowed to carry weapons in and out of the city. Have you asked about the four doors of east, west, north and south? How did these people get in? ”
Mu Yinghao was waiting for this moment: "I just found out this morning that these beggars and these two people who broke the Golden Gate all came in from the West Gate. ”
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that Che Zhihai also came in from the West Gate yesterday, but he didn't know that Che Zhihai was being followed, let alone about these beggars, but he just guessed in his heart whether it would have something to do with these?
Soon, Tang Chen guessed that there must be something to do with it, because Mu Yinghao didn't say any more, but looked at him, and with an indescribable look on his face, like a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into a trap.
It's just that Tang Chen hasn't realized that if he falls into this trap, he will be doomed.
Tang Chen deliberately asked, "Ximen?" This is strange, yesterday there was a person who pretended to be the captain of the Iron Guard, and he also entered the Divine Capital City from the West Gate, and that person even held the waist card of the Iron Guard, do you think these things will be related? ”
Tang Chen was anti-guest-oriented, and deliberately pushed the problem to Mu Yinghao, wanting to see what he would say.
Mu Yinghao didn't know about Che Zhihai, thinking that it was just Tang Chen's excuse, so he said: "I don't know if I have any contact, but the sentry guard at Ximen explained that he accepted Tang Gongzi's two silver dragons, and then let those beggars into the city." ”
Oops! Tang Chen was shocked, he didn't expect that the matter would be linked to his son Tang Xiaohao. At the same time, judge in your heart, what is the chance of Mu Yinghao lying? In the end, he thought that Mu Yinghao should not lie, because this kind of lie is too clumsy, and besides, this kind of thing is done by that bastard boy. Although this kid is smart, he is sometimes too kind, and he must have felt compassion when he saw that Simon's Shendu army did not let beggars enter the city.
Tang Chen said angrily: "Is there really such a thing? ”
Mu Yinghao said outside: "Bring the Ximen sentry up." ”
Soon, two soldiers brought up the Ximen sentry who was tied up with all kinds of flowers, and this sentry was the little leader who received Tang Chen's red dragon eyes yesterday.
The little boss had been beaten and bruised all over his body, and his eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open them.
Tang Chen looked at the little leader, and was worried not only about Tang Xiaohao, but about the red dragon eye he gave yesterday, if the little leader explained all this matter, then there was a handle in the hands of the Nanrong family, as long as Nanrong made a big fuss, then everything would be over.
It's just that Tang Chen still doesn't want to believe that the Nanrong family has noticed his actions, because Nanrong's style has never been shown, and his wife Nanrong Wenjun has nothing unusual.
Therefore, this matter is probably just that Mu Yinghao, who is a retainer of the Nanrong family, wants to catch his handle.
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 set up by the two soldiers tried to open his eyes and look at Tang Chen: "Because Tang Gongzi felt that they were pitiful, he gave me two silver dragons and asked me to let them in." ”
When Tang Chen asked, Mu Yinghao always stared at him, the fingers of his right hand rubbed gently, ready to draw the knife at any time, he pulled out the knife not to do anything to Tang Chen, but for fear that Tang Chen would kill people.
Tang Chen asked again: "Who are you talking about Tang Gongzi?" ”
The little leader said: "The son of Tang Chen, the commander of the Royal Iron Guard. ”
Tang Chen's heart was full of tears, but he still had to continue to ask: "Then do you know who I am?" ”
The little leader glanced at it and said, "General Tang." ”
Tang Chen immediately asked, "Is what you said true?" ”
The little boss said: "Every sentence is true. ”
Tang Chen asked again: "So, apart from those beggars, do you know the other two people in the pool?" ”
Mu Yinghao didn't expect Tang Chen to ask this, and hurriedly said, "He doesn't know." ”
When Tang Chen heard Mu Yinghao's answer, he knew that the time had come to fight back. Mu Yinghao rushed to say that the little boss didn't know him, obviously there was something wrong with these two people, and he didn't want Tang Chen to know.
So, Tang Chen said: "I asked him, but I didn't ask you." ”
The little leader looked at the pool, looked at it for a while, and said, "Yes, these two people are ......."
At this moment, Mu Yinghao stepped forward with a kick, but this kick was kicked on Tang Chen, because Tang Chen saw Mu Yinghao make a move, and hurriedly stepped forward to block it.
Mu Yinghao immediately knelt down on one knee: "The general atonements!" ”
Tang Chen didn't pay attention to Mu Yinghao, nor did he call him up, but continued to ask the little leader: "Who are these two people?" ”
The little leader tried to open his eyes to see Tang Chen, and found that Tang Chen's eyes were pleading.
This morning, the little leader couldn't bear the torture, so he could only explain Tang Xiaohao's affairs, but he didn't say a word about Tang Chen giving them a red dragon eye as a hush money.
The little boss knows that he has a humble status and cannot control his own destiny, but now the life of Tang Chen's father and son is in his hands, and once he explains everything, Tang Chen's father and son will be completely finished.
The little boss remembered the days when he had a drink with Tang Xiaohao in the past, and also remembered that Tang Chen could have shut up in other ways last night, but he chose to give him a red dragon eye. has been in the army for many years, and the only people who regard themselves as human beings are this father and son.
Therefore, the little leader said loudly: "Those two are holding the token of the Nanrong family, so the little one has to let them into the city!" ”
After speaking, the little boss suddenly burst out, broke free from the two soldiers, and hit his head directly against the wall, killing him on the spot.
Everyone present was shocked, Mu Yinghao didn't expect the little boss to commit suicide at all. Although Tang Chen was sad in his heart, he also knew that he had survived this catastrophe safely.
Now, it's time to be anti-customer-oriented.
Tang Chen looked at Mu Yinghao who knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up: "He said, those two people belong to the Nanrong family, and they still hold the token of the Nanrong family?" This is strange, could it be said that now the people of the Nanrong family can enter the Divine Capital with weapons with their own tokens? ”
Tang Chen's implication was that Mu Yinghao instructed the guards of the four gates to release the person who held the token of the Nanrong family, and if this matter was confirmed, he could directly label the Nanrong family as a rebel.
Mu Yinghao lowered his head and replied: "General, that kid is talking nonsense, you have also seen it, these two people are holding stele swords, they are obviously the people who broke the Golden Gate, how can they be the people of the Nanrong family." ”
Tang Chen said coldly: "But this kid also said that those beggars were put in the city by my son, and he said that it was true. ”
Mu Yinghao knew that he was in a hurry, so he could only say that the little boss was talking nonsense, and now that the person is dead, even if there were other soldiers present at the time, but those people themselves have asked one by one, no one heard that it was Tang Xiaohao's request to release the beggar, and no one saw that the little boss accepted the silver dragon.
Since there is no proof of death, and Mu Yinghao has taken the initiative in turn, then this matter cannot be pursued further.
Mu Yinghao had no choice but to say: "My subordinates think that he is also talking nonsense." ”
When Tang Chen saw Mu Yinghao say this, he stretched out his hand to help him up: "General Mu, this matter has nothing to do with you, it must be that sentry who is talking nonsense due to illness." ”
Mu Yinghao still lowered his head: "Yes." ”
Tang Chen said again: "However, there are people from different ways who enter the city with weapons, and this matter must be investigated. In addition, the path of those beggars is not simple. From this moment on, the Shendu Army will strictly inspect the city, and if necessary, I can transfer some ironclad guards from the imperial city to assist. ”
"Don't dare!" Mu Yinghao hurriedly said, "My subordinates will go and investigate." ”
After Mu Yinghao left in a hurry, Tang Chen looked at the corpse of the little leader, he knew that he could escape this catastrophe today, not only because he treated soldiers well and loved soldiers like sons on weekdays, but also because his son was not a real bastard.
What Tang Chen can do for this guard now is to bury him well and take care of his good family.
Mu Yinghao, who was hiding in the corner, watched Tang Chen personally leave with the body of the little leader, and it was clear that the little leader was not lying, and the beggar was indeed put in by Tang Xiaohao. Although he didn't think that Tang Xiaohao and those beggars originally knew and colluded, he originally wanted to use the topic to play and suppress Tang Chen, who was originally on an equal footing with him in terms of rank and rank.
Unexpectedly, that little boss could die for their father and son.
