A wilderness somewhere in Dingzhou.

"Masahiro, do you know the way!"

"I know, I know, of course I know Childe. You see, during the day, we follow the direction of the setting sun. After nightfall, it is natural to look at the stars. It's Beidou now, so it's right to go in this direction. ”

Park Jung-hong drove a carriage and carried Tang Zhongsong to gallop in the uninhabited suburbs.

He didn't know what stargazing was, and he even heard the word from someone else's mouth by accident. But there is no way to get to this point. I had to stubbornly insist on knowing the way, and then ran forward with my head down, waiting for this forest to make plans.

After walking for a while, there is an open field in front of you. The unmelted snow and ice reflected the moonlight, illuminating all directions.

Tang Zhongsong motioned to stop and rest for a while. Even if he wasn't riding a horse, the bumps in the carriage made him a little unbearable since he was a child.

He looked around, and there was not even a fly in the emptiness. The moonlight and snow color the whole world were bleak and bleak.

There was not a single rut on the ground, not a single spark in the distance. Yuzhong Matsu got out of the car and grabbed a handful of snow, and the grass was already tender green under the thin layer of snow.

"Say, are there earthworms here?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

"Earthworm ???"

"Childe, how can there be earthworms this season. You can see that the grass is already slightly green, but the soil is still frozen. ”

Park Zhenghong didn't understand what this Tang Dashao wanted to do.

But he's used to it.

After all, Childe has been eccentric since he was a child, and he has endless whimsical ideas all day long.

He entered the house shortly after the birth of his son, and he was also a child at that time. However, in his memory, the Dingzhou Mansion at that time was called a bold mansion.

The state commanders are diligent in military training and administration, and they are not angry and arrogant. Madame takes care of the inner house and is well organized. However, all this disappeared as Childe grew up.

Because Childe turned all the whimsical ideas of his childhood into reality, and then there was no one in the whole house who had not been tossed by Childe.

"You said there are no earthworms in the soil right now. Why did it come into existence after the beginning of summer? Isn't this world the one it is now?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

"This ...... I don't know if it's small. But it's true that I haven't seen earthworms before the beginning of spring. ”

Tang Zhongsong turned around and returned to the car, and when he came back, he had a long knife in his hand.

"It's ......"

Park Jung-hong looked at the long knife in Childe's hand and was speechless in shock.

Three pavilions serrated hook knife.

Dingzhou Prefecture Tong Tang Ming's weapon of fame.

Back then, Tang Ming was carrying this Santing sawtooth hook knife, and the three ministers of the Moon Swallowing Department were killed and injured by one person and one horse.

So much so that for more than ten years, the Moon Swallowing Department has not been able to breathe.

Even with the royal court, Zuolu was suppressed by Youlu.

Although General Lu is a brother, who can not compete in such a situation.

Tang Zhongsong and Park Zhenghong didn't know that the wolf rider who committed the border this time was Zuo Lu Tunyue, who was killed by his father more than ten years ago and was almost wiped out.

Feng Shui rotates, with half of the east and west sides of the river.

If you kill the ministers of the previous generation of other families, you can't blame the new ministers for coming to take revenge.

But when your son stole the knife you killed back then, you still had to go to war.

This is also fate.

"Let's make a bet! If you can't dig it up, then after I cut off the head of the wolf king Mingyao, I will give you all the rewards given by the king of Dingxi and my dead father." If you can dig it, you'll have to eat as many as I dig out!"

"Bet?"

Park Zhenghong's brain was not slow, and he responded in one bite.

He thought to himself that he couldn't figure out this direction, and the more he walked in the big night, the more confused he became. It's rare that the son has this interest, so let's play with him to kill the time. Anyway, the earthworm will definitely not be able to dig it out, and it is impossible for the wolf king's head to be cut off by him. I don't have any loss at all, and I don't have to be scolded for not being able to find a way, so why not?

"But Childe, I'll dig this earthworm. ”

Park Jung-hong knew that his boy had a lot of ideas, maybe he had already hidden a jar of earthworms in his sleeve, and he was waiting for the boredom of the middle of the night to set himself up.

Tang Zhongsong agreed without thinking about it, he was too lazy to do this kind of laborious work.

It took a lot of effort for Park Zhenghong to hold the Santing serrated hook knife, and he couldn't figure out how Tang Gongzi, who usually looked like he had been hollowed out by wine, lifted it with one hand.

"Sure enough, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the mouse son will make holes. ”

Dingzhou border five towns official post.

Liu Ruiying saw that the mountain col not far away was brightly lit, and the official post had arrived.

After walking for most of the night, I suddenly saw the lights and my eyes were stabbed, and I couldn't open them. Suddenly, he felt his left arm being grabbed. Just as he was about to draw his sword, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Yo, are you really so careful...... If I call you little brother, I have to kill someone......"

Liu Ruiying fixed his eyes and saw that Li Yun's smiling face reflected in the firelight warm and kind. It makes people feel reassuring when they see it.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't everyone evacuate here according to the orders of the state lord?"

"No, I mean why you arrived before us. ”

Liu Ruiying pointed to Zhang Xuexue and Yanzi beside him.

It stands to reason that with their footsteps, even if they take some old and young women and children in Jiying Town, they shouldn't be so slow. Don't......

"Who are you?"

Liu Ruiying secretly withdrew one and asked very vigilantly.

"Hahaha, who am I? Anyone who has seen me once will know who I am. Little brother, you come from such a lively middle capital, but you don't know it?"

"Your feet are so fast, even if I ride the standard fast horse of the Investigation Division, how can you not make me suspicious?"

"Miss Li Yun is here with me, so the investigation makes the adults not have to suspect it. Under Jiang Hengjiao, the order of the Dingzhou Prefecture. ”

A thin girl with a grim face approached and said.

Among the three government orders of Dingzhou Mansion, two of them have led the army to the border with the governor to fight the enemy, and the rest is this Jiang Hengjiao.

She is a daughter, but she has always been a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. The bow horse is skillful, and the formation is sophisticated. It's just that this time, because all the people in the five border towns have to be evacuated, there are a lot of people and a wide range of involvement. It takes a competent official to take responsibility.

For this reason, Jiang Hengjiao even had a big quarrel with the governor He Youjian.

She was already in a bad mood. Seeing Liu Ruiying interrogating Li Yun, coupled with his identity as the Investigation Division, he felt disgusted with him for no reason.

Jiang Hengjiao, who has always dared to love and hate his true temperament, will never take the name of the Investigation Division seriously. Since Li Yun is her best friend who she recognizes, then if you suspect her, you are doubting me.

Liu Ruiying nodded awkwardly, wanting to ask about the situation here, but felt very embarrassed. I had no choice but to step aside and beckoned the people of Jiying Town who came with me to settle down.

Jiang Hengjiao's subordinate soldiers cooked a large pot of hot porridge, and whenever there were newly arrived people, they could line up to make a bowl.

Even if it is not a delicacy, in the hearts of people who are full of nostalgia, this bowl of hot porridge is the hope of returning to their homeland in the future, and it is the determination of Dingzhou to fight the wolf rider to the death. Make them less lonely in the midst of displacement.

Liu Ruiying also took a bowl and prepared to line up in the line to make porridge. was dragged out by Li Yun.

"I didn't expect our investigation to make your adult so down-to-earth. ”

Li Yun teased while pulling Liu Ruiying into the battalion commander behind.

After entering the camp, Liu Ruiying saw Jiang Hengjiao sitting in the first seat. There were also several state officials, and it was strange to him that Zhang Xuejiu and Yanzi were also here.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat. I heard that these two girls Li Yun are both masters, and the border war is tight at the moment, so I specially invited the two of them to dine together. You don't mind, Detective Envoy. ”

Although honorifics are used, they are still inquired about. Liu Ruiying did not feel the slightest relaxation.

Zhang Xuezhi stroked his beard and looked at him with a smile, and Yanzi only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

It's said to be a meal, but it's just a bowl of somen noodles with a few side dishes.

"The border conditions are difficult, and I hope that the investigation will make the adults not be picky and disgusted. ”

"No, no, no, let's investigate and make people just now ready to line up for porridge. But it's down-to-earth. ”

Without waiting for Liu Ruiying to answer, Li Yun rushed to speak.

Liu Ruiying was indeed hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and picked noodles in a bowl. However, because the noodles have been cooked for too long, they have become a little mushy and difficult to pick up with chopsticks.

Liu Ruiying didn't eat a few times in a row, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"What adds up doesn't necessarily add up to what you can eat in your mouth. Anxious and greedy, I want to clip more chopsticks with every chopstick. But can you eat enough with chopsticks? It's better to have less and take your time. What can be eaten in your mouth is what you do. ”

Li Yun sat next to Liu Ruiying and forced a smile, but Zhang Xueyu couldn't stand it, so he said lightly.

Liu Ruiying felt that she hadn't suffered this night for more than 20 years, she had suffered a lot of losses and lost a lot of face. At most, he is not free every day in the Investigation Division, but here he is treated like a strange beast in the mountains, as if his words and deeds are a template for others to ridicule. It made him feel a deep sense of frustration.

"Obviously, I do what is written in the booklet, how can there be such a big discrepancy? And since this government decree knows my identity, then all the Dingzhou mansions must also know. Before leaving, I told my lord to let me visit secretly, what should I do if I make a lot of noise this time......"

A wilderness somewhere in Dingzhou.

"Hahaha, I just said how can there be no earthworms this season? Count it, how many is it......? Two...... Three ......"

Park Jung-hong looked at the pile of earthworms writhing on the slightly grass-colored ground in front of him, and couldn't say a word in shock.

According to Childe's logic, there is indeed nothing wrong, but even if there are earthworms in this weather, it should be deep underground. How is it possible that digging gently by yourself is like poking an earthworm nest?

The land was picked and dug by himself. Even if Childe is a ghost, it is impossible for him to come here in advance, and bury the entire underground with earthworms in advance.

"Thirty-six! There are thirty-six in total!, quick, a manly man is willing to gamble and lose!"

Tang Zhongsong was excited, jumping and jumping happily.

"I ...... Childe, can you ......?"

"Can't!"

Tang Zhongsong interrupted him sharply. In Park Jung-hong's impression, Childe has never been so serious.

"But that's fine, I'll ask you a question. ”

"Do you think I can cut off the head of the Wolf King Mingyao?"

Tang Zhongsong asked.

"Yes, you will definitely be able with Childe!"

The previous meal on the hillside was really out of conscience, although there was also some flattery for the sake of not eating earthworms. But somehow, Park Jung-hong just felt that Gongzi had cut off the head of the wolf king. And he had to.

"Hahaha. I don't eat earthworms when I look at them, and I will lose time on the way to save my stomach, so let's continue to hurry!"

Park Zhenghong saw that he didn't need to eat earthworms, and immediately put the feeling just now behind him. It doesn't matter if the head of the wolf king is cut off or not, I don't have to eat earthworms to be serious. When I thought about it, I immediately mustered up my energy. didn't care about finding the way, so he randomly recognized the direction and ran forward.

I didn't expect that this time I was really lucky, and I saw the fire in less than half an hour.

"Where is this?"

"It seems to be the official post of our Dingzhou Mansion. ”

Park Jung-hong knew that Childe had sneaked out, and he felt that Childe would definitely not enter this housekeeper's place.

Unexpectedly, Childe jumped out of the car and rushed in with a knife.

"Childe, where are you going?"

"I'm going to pee, I'm going to suffocate all the way. It's freezing outside, and I can't pee!"

As soon as Tang Zhongsong entered, he saw a big tent, and when he lifted the curtain, he was immediately stunned.

Liu Ruiying and others, who were eating noodles, were blown back by the sudden cold wind. When he saw that the person was still carrying a knife, he was even more shocked. Fortunately, Jiang Hengjiao recognized him as the son of Tangzhou Tong, so everyone did not panic. Otherwise, Liu Ruiying and Yanzi would have already done it.

"Master!"
