Catch a thief to warm the bed

It was late at night, and the rapid and neat sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and dogs barked.

"Uh-stop-"

With the order, the sound of horseshoes stopped, and only the panting of horses could be heard in the silent night.

In front of the General's Mansion, two red lanterns were like fire.

After the group stopped, the leader dismounted and walked to the carriage in the middle of the team, and said respectfully and calmly, "My lord, we're here."

"En." Bai Chucheng's response came from inside the carriage, and he asked, "Chen Qian, what time is it?"

"The ugly time is just over."

Bai Chucheng got off the carriage tremblingly, and Chen Qian hurried over to support Bai Chucheng.

"After dawn, the emperor will send someone to replace the plaque on the General's Mansion, and you should remember to say hello." Bai Chucheng looked at the words "General's Mansion", without any emotional ups and downs in his words.

Chen Qian also looked at the plaque of the General's Mansion, sighed unwillingly, and replied: "Yes."

Bai Chucheng brushed Chen Qian's hand away, and walked slowly towards the gate step by step.

Suddenly, there was a sound of quarreling, beating and cursing not far away.

"Stop, you boy, and I asked you to bring supper to the master, and you dare to steal it!" Along with the man's fierce scolding, another weak voice came: "Brother Zhang, please spare me. I don't Dare, I don’t dare anymore, I... ouch... ah... Brother Zhang... I’m so hungry... I... ah..."

Heart-piercing screams echoed in the night sky, Bai Chucheng was a little dizzy, he looked in the direction of the sound, under the moonlight, two men in rough cloth shirts were running towards the general's mansion.

The people in front stumbled and were beaten to the ground with sticks by the people behind them from time to time.

"Brother Zhang, isn't it just a plate... ah... just a plate of dim sum, master... master... why do you want my life!"

Brother Zhang was also a little out of breath, but the beating action was clean and neat, the stick was raised high and fell heavily, if the person being beaten hadn't run fast, he would have been disabled long ago.

Seeing that Bai Chucheng's attention was focused on this side, Chen Qian followed suit, and after seeing the situation clearly, he said in a low voice, "My lord, go down and drive them away."

The cool night wind blowing over his cheeks made Bai Chucheng wake up a bit, and at the same time he smelled a familiar smell.

"It's that person." Bai Chucheng's eyes widened, looking for the suspect.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on the two people who were arguing.

"Chen Qian, bring them here." As soon as Bai Chucheng finished speaking, Chen Qian walked towards the two menacingly, and Bai Chucheng added: "Be gentle, don't scare them."

"What are you doing."

Chen Qian was originally one of Baichucheng's powerful generals, but later his mother was critically ill, so Baichucheng let him go home, and now he is Baichucheng's guard.

After all, he is a soldier who has been baptized by blood. Even if Chen Qian suppressed his emotions, he also carried a sense of coercion when he spoke.

Brother Zhang and the two were shocked by the sudden roar. Brother Zhang's hand holding the stick softened, and the stick fell to the ground with a "snap".The person who was beaten crawled towards Chen Qian as if seeing a life-saving straw.Seeing that something was wrong, Brother Zhang wanted to slip away, so Chen Qian kicked the stick on the ground, and the stick flew towards Brother Zhang's back, knocking him to the ground.

Bai Chucheng came over at this time, Chen Qian saluted and stepped aside.

Standing in front of the beaten person, Bai Chucheng looked down at him, and the faint fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Bai Chucheng's gaze was like a blade, as if he wanted to peel off the person in front of him layer by layer to see clearly what he looked like inside.

"My lord..." He opened his mouth to ask for help, but Bai Chucheng ignored him and walked straight to Brother Zhang.

The scent in Brother Zhang's place was obviously much weaker than that of the previous person, and Bai Chucheng immediately confirmed who he was looking for.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Bai Chucheng's mouth, Brother Zhang saw Bai Chucheng's smile, and was startled: "Did he see something?"

The person who was beaten was naturally Lin Pei, and this brother Zhang was his senior brother Zhang Hengtian.

Zhang Hengtian was lying on the ground and trembling uncontrollably, he asked in a trembling voice: "My lord... I am teaching a disobedient servant, and..."

"Isn't a servant a human?" Bai Chucheng's eyes turned cold, and his tone was stern, as if he wanted to kill Zhang Hengtian.

Zhang Hengtian's heart was beating even more violently. Based on today's conversation alone, he had a new understanding of Bai Chucheng, and he was also worried about the future of his junior.

"I...I..." Zhang Hengtian was completely speechless.

From the moment Bai Chucheng recognized Lin Pei, he knew that the two of them were acting in order to attract his attention. In addition, the last time Lin Pei stayed in his room for a while, he could be sure that the purpose of the two was Send Lin Pei into the General's Mansion.

There is no need to lead soldiers to fight, and there is no need to participate in political intrigue. The future life seems a little too boring. Thinking of this, Bai Chucheng decided to develop according to Lin Pei's hope.

"Get out." Bai Chucheng yelled out the word "Get out" with his internal strength. Zhang Hengtian was injured by Bai Chucheng without any precautions. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. He glanced at Lin Pei worriedly, covered his chest and gritted his teeth. left.

When Zhang Hengtian beat Lin Pei, he naturally didn't use all his strength, but in order not to make Bai Chucheng suspicious, it was true that Lin Pei was injured.Therefore, at this moment, Lin Pei lay motionless on the ground, with only a gap in his eyes open.

"Don't worry, he's gone." Bai Chucheng squatted down and whispered in Lin Pei's ear.Probably the person who chased him had left, Lin Pei's tense heartstrings loosened, and he gradually closed his eyes.

"Chen Qian, find a doctor." Bai Chucheng ordered, and at the end of his speech, under the surprised eyes of everyone, he picked up Lin Pei and walked towards the general's mansion.

Although there was a guest room in the General's Mansion, Bai Chucheng did not plan to put this person in the guest room. On the one hand, it was to monitor him, and on the other hand, it was to take care of him.

With his face pressed against Bai Chucheng's chest, listening to his heart beating powerfully, Lin Pei's breathing became rapid for no reason.

Lin Pei fainted, of course he was pretending to enter the general's mansion.Lin Pei was still very confident in the character of this great general.No, things developed as he expected.

Hearing the heavier and heavier breathing of the person in his arms, Bai Chucheng gradually raised the corners of his mouth, and let out a chuckle through his nose.

I don't know if it's because Bai Chucheng's embrace is too comfortable, or because Lin Pei is really tired, and Lin Pei actually fell asleep before arriving at Jingning Residence.

"Hey, this kid is so brave, he just fell asleep in the arms of a stranger." Bai Chucheng put Lin Pei down, with surprise in his eyes.

In the dim candlelight, Lin Pei's sleeping face showed a hazy beauty, as if as long as Bai Chucheng lifted the tulle, he could see the real Lin Pei.

Chen Qian walked in with the doctor, and Bai Chucheng stepped aside.

"My lord," Chen Qian whispered in Bai Chucheng's ear, "This person's identity is unknown, and my subordinates feel that it is necessary to investigate."

Bai Chucheng shook his head: "I know it well."

Bai Chucheng had a premonition that if Chen Qian went to check the person on the bed, he would definitely find nothing, so he might as well keep him by his side and explore slowly by himself.

The doctor quickly finished seeing Lin Pei's injury, he prescribed medicine, and asked Chen Qian to follow him back to the medical clinic to get the medicine.

Bai Chucheng didn't intend to sleep here. After tucking Lin Pei in the quilt, he carried the quilt up to the third floor.
