Chapter 6: Surprisingly(1/2)
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."
To be continued...
