The son crosses every night

In the early morning, Tanghua and the others ate rice, fried meat with pickles, and meat pies.

Because I have to drive a long way today, I had a solid breakfast.

King Jingning and Tanghua did not receive any special treatment either. After they brought the hot bowls and chopsticks from the gang leader, they each filled a bowl of rice, filled the bowl with vegetables, and sat on the table to eat. .

King Jingning was used to this kind of life, and he didn't notice it. Seeing his son so calm, he couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

After this trip, the father and son got to know each other better.

Tang Hua quickly ate half a bowl of rice.

King Jingning looked up at him and said, "Eat more, it might be late for lunch."

"I know, father, you should eat more." Tang Hua took a big mouthful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and opened his black and white eyes and asked his father, "Where do you eat at noon? Will you stop to bury it?" Pot for cooking?"

"Non-stop." King Jingning stopped his chopsticks, and explained: "We don't bury the pot at noon these two days, and mainly eat dry food. According to this speed, we will be able to reach Dahe Mansion at noon the next day."

Tang Hua: "Oh, I see, father, you take your time, I'll go over to see how they are preparing."

After speaking, he took the last mouthful of rice and stuffed it into his mouth, puffing his cheeks and stepping like the wind to check the situation in his team.

Lei Xing got up very early this morning, and he had already had the horses brushed and fed, and the horseshoes and saddles were checked by the way.

What Tanghua has to do now is to read the past again and know what his team is. This is what Gu Tangyu and King Jingning taught him, and he really practiced it slowly.

Ye Zhi quietly followed behind him, not leaving for a moment.

In just a few days, Tanghua has gotten used to his uncle following quietly behind him.

Before the sun has risen after breakfast, they are ready to go again.

Such a long team was rushing on the road, and dust was raised all the way. Tang Hua was dusted by the dust, and his complexion was a little dark.

The sun came out in the afternoon, and people rode horses under the sun. The sun hit their faces and made them burn hot and painful.

Zhang Hua is okay, he doesn't sweat very much, and some soldiers who are more afraid of heat can already precipitate salt flowers on their bodies.

They didn't arrive at today's post house until the sun went down.

King Jingning and his soldiers have walked this road countless times, and they are very familiar with every plant and tree on the road, even their horses know the way.

The group of guards under Tang Hua were still young, and they were just about to learn something, so they only walked with the big team for two days, and they learned a lot.

He has also gained something himself, which is probably the only gratification along the way.

After being so tired for a whole day, when he returned to the post house, he hurriedly took a shower, and after dinner, he couldn't bear it anymore, fell on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The wound medicine on his leg was put on by Ye Zhi while he was half asleep and half awake.

In the middle of the night, Tang Hua woke up in the dark, yawned silently, and finally regained consciousness.

He blinked his eyes to check the situation in the room, heard the snoring from left and right still, quietly got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and tried to open the door in his mind.

Not long after, a gap of light appeared on the wall, which was the light from Ruan Shijie's study.

Tang Hua embraced the quilt with a knowing smile, got out of bed softly, intending to bolt the doors and windows, and quietly go to Ruan Shijie's place just like last night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the window, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and a strange figure appeared on the tree outside the window.

Tang Hua:! ! !

In an instant, unspeakable fear completely seized his mind, and he even froze for a moment, holding his breath for a few moments before breathing again.

Someone just looked at him through the window!

It was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, but he just felt a person standing there.

wait for him to take a closer look

At that time, there was no one on the tree.

Tang Hua held his breath, thinking about how to go to the bed and get the knife.

After a few breaths.

"Tanhua?" A steady voice came from the side.

"Ah!" Tang Hua yelled in surprise, and suddenly turned to the window, "Who?!"

The window is made of wooden lattice, and outside the window is the corridor under the eaves. The window blocks half of the view, and Tang Hua can't stick his head out, only that this voice is very familiar.

"I, Ye Zhi." The next moment, Ye Zhi's tall figure came out from the side like a cat, stood in front of the window, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing, why are you here, uncle?"

"I heard you bolting the door in the middle of the night, so I'll come out and take a look." Ye Zhi said, "Did you also bolt the door last night? And you went out once?"

"Ah?" Tang Hua was dumbfounded. He didn't expect his uncle's hearing to be so good. He just closed the door with his own hands in the house, but his uncle heard him, "No, no, uncle, maybe you heard it wrong. stop?"

"Yeah." Ye Zhi folded his arms, without much entanglement, "How about today, still can't sleep?"

"No, I'm just not used to unbolting windows and locking doors." Tang Hua's heart was beating rapidly, "Uncle, you go to sleep. It's nothing, I locked the doors and windows and went to sleep."

"Well, go to sleep." Ye Zhi also knew whether he believed it or not, he nodded, and the next moment, the whole person disappeared into the night as quickly and briskly as a kite.

Tang Hua was so frightened that he didn't know if his uncle would come back to watch over him, so he didn't dare to go to Ruan Shijie's side.

After thinking about it, he lit a candle and wrote a note like last time, then opened the door and threw it towards Ruan Shijie.

Ruan Shijie knew that he would come over tonight and didn't sleep, but after waiting and waiting, he didn't find anyone else's shadow, only a note thrown over gently.

Tang Hua wrote the reason on the note, and wrote with some guilt: Brother, are you still awake?is waiting for me.

-Um.At work, waiting for you by the way.

Ruan Shijie picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the back with a pen: Don't come over these two days, just throw me a note every night and let me know if I can open the door.

-Oh, Brother Ruan, I won't be here tomorrow. When I take someone away in a few days, I'll see if I can borrow the time to go to the bathroom.

Ruan Shijie could imagine Tang Hua's frustration just from this note, he ticked the corner of his mouth and wrote a word on the back: good.

-Brother Ruan, go to bed quickly, it's already so late, and you have to go to work tomorrow, don't you work overtime?

- Well, don't add it, I'll throw it here for you to pour medicine to treat abrasions, disinfect yourself and apply wound medicine to yourself, don't take it seriously, if the weather is so hot, it will be troublesome if you get inflammation.

Along with this note, two cans of medicine were gently thrown over.

Tang Hua smiled: Got it.

He threw the note over first, then unscrewed the medicine bottle, and quickly administered a medicine to himself.

Ruan Shijie quickly threw back the note: Don't fool me, I will check it myself in a few days.

- Got it, buddy, good night =3=

-Good night.

The two said good night to each other, and Tang Hua went back to bed with a smile on his face and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, Ye Zhi came to knock on the door himself.

As soon as Tang Hua saw his uncle, his heart beat faster.

He said stiffly: "Uncle, why do you get up so early, don't you sleep more?"

"Don't sleep anymore. Martial arts practice pays attention to winter practice, three nines and summer practice in summer. Get up and practice for a while." Ye Zhi held the sword in his arms, "Can you fetch water for you to wash?"

"No, no need, I'll come by myself! Uncle, sit down." Tang Hua hurriedly stepped aside, pulled out his clothes and came out to wear them. He was afraid that Ye Zhi would become suspicious, so he didn't dare to ask about what happened last night.

Ye Zhi didn't bother about what he meant last night, and nodded after seeing him put on his clothes: "Breakfast is ready

come out and have breakfast

. "

At the dinner table, King Jingning asked: "What happened last night? I heard you screaming in the middle of the night."

It was only then that Tanghua knew how powerful they were, and said with a stiff face, "I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and found that the window was not locked, which made me uncomfortable. When I ran to lock the window, I looked out the window. I didn't expect to see my uncle, so I was caught off guard. I was terrified."

King Jingning understood, "Your uncle is also worried about your safety."

"I know." Tang Hua picked up a chopstick of pickled vegetables, and couldn't help asking: "Father, is it obvious that I wake up at night? Why do you all know?"

Tang Hua felt that he was light-handed and should not disturb anyone, not to mention the loud snoring on both sides, the people in the room did not look like they were awake at all.

"It's not particularly obvious, but it's still a movement." King Jingning laughed at himself, "They are all living in the frontier, and no one dares to sleep too hard at night. They wake up at the slightest sign of trouble. If they really sleep too hard, they wake up in the middle of the night The head is not necessarily on the neck."

Tang Hua felt a little sad, and asked in a low voice, "Is the frontier so dangerous? Even if there are soldiers on patrol."

King Jingning shook his head and told his son, "Wars are not necessarily just two armies confronting each other. They often send experts to lie down to assassinate the generals of both sides. Soldiers are just ordinary people. They can defend against ordinary people but cannot defend against experts. You need to wake up yourself."

Tang Hua figured it out for a moment, "That's why my uncle specially patrolled the door for me when he heard the movement. But my father——"

Tang Hua hesitated, "Do you think I'm in danger too?"

"You are almost becoming a fortune-seeking boy in the imperial capital, and there is another incident of the gods entering the dream, which force will not notice you?" Seeing Tang Hua's worried face, King Jingning immediately changed his words: "But don't worry too much , shouldn’t someone send a master to assassinate you?”

"Then what if there is any force that does not take the usual path?"

King Jingning smiled confidently, "Do you really think that your uncle has been traveling for nothing for so many years?"

Only then did Tanghua vaguely understand that his uncle might be more powerful than he imagined, no wonder his elder brother wanted to help him find his uncle.

Now that he said this, Tang Hua couldn't help but ask: "Are there really masters in this world who can fly over walls?"

"A master can only run faster and jump higher than a human. If it is said to be miraculous, I don't plan to." King Jingning said: "However, a master can defeat a hundred, even if it is not too miraculous, kill a lot of people It's not too difficult."

"Are you and elder brother masters?"

"Your elder brother's martial arts are better, you can probably take one as high as eighty." A look of pride appeared on King Jingning's face, "As for your father and me, I am far from a master, but if you Dealing with ordinary small thieves is still no problem."

Tang Hua blinked, "Then Father, what about me?"

"You?" King Jingning met his son's expectant gaze, and said with a smile, "I said just now that your eldest brother can fight against eighty with one, and you will be against eighty like you."

Tanghua: "..."
