Chapter 4

In the previous chapter, Zhang Jingde, the governor of Hexi, asked the Jiang brothers in order to find out the details of his wife being almost captured, and planned to arrange positions for them according to the wife's instructions.

It was a good intention, but because he hated these two people in his heart, his attitude was a little stiff, which caused Jiang Laoer to hold a grudge. He felt that he was humiliated, so he vowed to give one of the overlords, Hexi Jiedu General: Zhang Jingde

After Zhang Jingde asked the two brothers, he asked them to leave and asked the opinions of Butler Zhang on the side. Butler Zhang said: These two are not good people, especially the second child, with a lustful aura in his eyes. Such people also keep them away from the general's mansion. The faster they are, the better they are.

Well, my opinion is the same as you, but no matter where they are, Lan'er is difficult to explain, do you think it is better to arrange them? Zhang Jingde asked

From a young perspective, it is better to send them to the Chishui Army as a traitor, a fire-headed army, a groom, etc., to polish their temperament and change their problems

OK, this idea is good tomorrow morning, you will arrange for people like them to be rectified in the army before they will be honest. In addition, we must send people to keep an eye on them tonight. Since they dare to collude with the Tubo people, they have to be careful. Who knows if the Tubo people are making a series of tricks? They want to nail two nails to the general's mansion?

Yes, Master, I will send Tian Cheng to follow them tonight, and send them to the military camp as a servant tomorrow morning, stay away from our general's mansion

During dinner, Butler Zhang informed the Jiang brothers: The general has helped them arrange the news that they will go to the Chishui Army to serve tomorrow morning, Jiang Laosan accepted it happily, but Jiang Laoer looked unhappy.

After the meal, Butler Zhang specially called Tian Cheng over and explained it carefully, telling him to keep an eye on the two brothers of the Jiang family even if they don’t sleep tonight. It’s not clear whether they are humans or ghosts, so they have to be careful.

(The endorsement of the book: Tian Cheng is from Hexiguazhou. Before joining the army, he was a disciple of the head of the Kongtong Sect. Kongtong martial arts and his power is in the western front! Tian Cheng was sent to Kongtong Mountain by his parents since childhood and became the leader of the sect. Fei Hongzi was a teacher and practiced a good kung fu set. Kongtong innate Arhat 18 skills. He was mastered by him and was deeply loved by Fei Hongzi. He also taught him a set of superior Kongtong light skills: Kongtong Feilongmen Light Body Technique

However, because this set of exercises is too profound, Tian Cheng has not yet practiced the essence. However, Feiliang Yueji easily trained Tian Cheng carefully. His original intention was to let him go to another place for the Kongtong Sect to be successful. He was scattered and never thought that Tian Cheng's hometown of Guazhou was repeatedly invaded by Tubo. Several relatives of Tian Cheng also died in war. Tian Cheng angrily bid farewell to his master and serve the country to defend his homeland. At the same time, he also wanted to make achievements with his own good skills and achieve something. As expected, he soon after joining the army in Guazhou, he made many military achievements because of his outstanding martial arts. He was soon discovered by Zhang Jingde, the governor of Hexi who loves talents, and was transferred to the Liangzhou Chishui Army to be promoted to the captain who commanded more than a thousand people. Because he was honest and straightforward.

So Zhang Jingde loved him, so he transferred him to be a personal guard for himself. When he was not out, he doubled as the guard of the general in the general's mansion. Mrs. Lan, the eldest lady, and the young master. When he went out, he even had to protect his side. However, because the young lady was the orphan of the eldest lady, he was born a little withdrawn without the protection of his mother. He hid in the boudoir every day and did not go out. Therefore, he had few opportunities to protect the young lady. Usually, he mainly followed Mrs. Lan, and the young master protected him.)

The two brothers of the Jiang family were arranged to rest in a separate courtyard. This courtyard was originally a guest room for convenient remote visits to the relatives of their relatives.

Apart from the residence of the servants, it is closer to the inner courtyard.

The Jiang brothers are just people who can't stay idle. Of course, they were very curious when they moved into the General's Mansion for the first time. After dinner, they wandered around the General's Mansion. When they walked to Xu, they looked through the three front yards inside and outside the General's Mansion.

The two of them became more and more excited as they walked around, so they headed straight to the inner courtyard and went straight to the inner courtyard

From a distance, I saw two servants sitting at the gate of the inner courtyard. They walked over with swagger. Jiang Laoer asked curiously: Hey? Two brothers, why don’t you go to rest when you are so late? What are you doing here?

The two gatekeepers saw that they had saved Mrs. Lan and received a huge reward of silver. They explained politely: Outsiders are not allowed to enter this inner courtyard, so there are people guarding each day for twelve hours. Now it's our turn.

What? The inner courtyard is not allowed to enter? Oh, we finally came to the General's Mansion and will leave tomorrow morning. We don't even know what the inner courtyard looks like. What do you say when someone asks you later?

Jiang Laoer said dissatisfied

Sorry, the two righteous men really have no choice, otherwise we will be beaten at the least, and we will be driven out of the general's house.

Seeing that they were really embarrassed, the Jiang brothers stopped being persistent, but they didn't give up and tentatively said: Two brothers, we don't make things difficult for you. Is this good? We only look at the inner courtyard at the gate of the hanghua, and never make any progress, can we?

This...just just a look... the servant who was guarding the door had never encountered such a thing. I don't know if I should refuse. I hesitated where to go.

Seeing this, Jiang Laoer immediately approached them, then took out two taels of silver from each sleeve and stuffed them into their hands, and smiled and said: It would be a little bit of a pity, and it would not make you embarrassed. It would be a bad rule to just look at the door of the drooping flower.

The two of them immediately said with ease after collecting the money: Yes, as long as they don’t go in, they should be fine, then you can go forward a few steps and stand at the drooping door to watch

Jiang Lao Er was thick-skinned and walked over and leaned against the door frame of the back courtyard. While looking at Gu Mian, who was looking around in the inner courtyard, chatting with the two people watching the door, asking questions, and asking nonstop

What: Who lives in this yard?

When do you usually turn off the lights?

Does the master often go out to inspect and go home without going home?

Wait, a bunch of questions

These two servants who were guarding the door had nothing to do. Now they came to chat with them and took the other person's silver, so they asked and answered questions and spit out all the things they knew about the General's Mansion like pouring beans on bamboo tubes.

The Jiang brother leaned on the door frame of the inner courtyard and chatted with the two servants for nearly half an hour. He also found out about the general's mansion and left reluctantly.

Shortly after they left the gate of the inner courtyard, a tall figure appeared in the dark corner of the wall. He was wearing a black night clothes, and his black scarf covered his face with only two bright eyes as bright as a falcon.

Looking at the two brothers' departure, he whispered to himself: Sure enough, he ran to the inner courtyard to ask questions, were they...

After talking to himself for a few words, the man in black sneaked into the shadow of the moonlit night and quickly followed the Jiang brothers.

Since the unique courtyard where the Jiang brothers stayed was located was close to the western wall of the inner courtyard, the two of them returned to the courtyard before long.

The man in black found a hidden corner and sat down against the wall.

He's going to sit here and rest

Because I guess the brother surnamed Jiang will not make any more noise tonight

The man in black just sat in meditation and heard a strange noise in his ear. He suddenly opened his eyes like lightning and glanced over, but found that the gate of the private courtyard where the Jiang brothers stayed was slowly opening. The strange noise just now was the rotation of the door shaft.

After a while, two black heads came out from some door, and then crept around for a while before tiptoing out of the door.

The man in black thought it was the Jiang family brother, but when he looked closely with the bright moonlight, he was surprised because the two of them were dressed in different outfits from the two brothers, but they were wearing black night clothes like him.

In fact, this man in black was Tian Cheng, who was sent by the butler to monitor the Jiang brothers.

He saw that two people came out of the private courtyard where the two brothers stayed, and sneaked in the night clothes, and concluded that these two people were the Jiang brothers.

Because he didn't know much about the brothers' origin, Mrs. Lan did not tell them the details when she was taken home, so he didn't know that these two people were specializing in stealing flowers and plundering fragrance and selling them to brothels.

So much so that he decided that they were thieves who had just stepped on plates inside and outside the yard and were going to steal.

Huh? Didn’t I just give him two thousand taels of silver reward? I still think it’s not enough? It’s really a matter of money and a bird’s death. I’ll fulfill you today. Tian Cheng thought to himself

Take people and get dirty. This is the rule since ancient times. They have not taken action yet. It is difficult to take them off just by wearing night clothes.

Tian Cheng was not in a hurry and followed them quietly to catch them.

The two of them secretly came to the high wall of the inner courtyard, and then took out something from their back pocket, as if they were still carrying ropes. Then they took a few turns and threw the thing over and grabbed the head of the wall.

Although Tian Cheng has been practicing in the Kongtong Sect's mountain gate and has never been around the world, he often hears the uncle and elders chat about interesting stories about the world, so he has some knowledge. When he sees that thing, he knows that it is a flying tiger claw that thieves often use to climb over the wall to climb over the room.

This made him believe that the two brothers were going to steal

These two thieves were too brave. They dared to go to the inner courtyard to steal the property of the general's family? But it was only Xu's hour, and it was not too late. These two thieves were going to take action. It would be too rampant, right? I'll follow up and wait until once they steal the stolen goods, I'll take them down.

Tian Cheng thought quietly, watching him climb the flying tiger claws on the wall in the shadows

These two people climbed over the wall neatly, which shows that they often do similar bad things.

They were afraid that they would follow him too closely, so they did not rush to jump onto the wall, but silently calculated the time in their hearts. After about half a stick of incense, he ran towards the high wall of the inner courtyard, secretly thinking about Kongtong's superior light skills: Kongtong Feilongmen Light Body Technique, the mental method, as soon as he got close to the high wall, he rose up with a whoosh and easily crossed the wall, which fell lightly on the grass in the inner courtyard.

Although Tian Cheng was the personal guard of General Zhang Jingde, the governor of Hexi, he had never come in the inner courtyard. The men in this inner courtyard were explicitly prohibited by Zhang Jingde and the young master, so they would never be allowed to come in.

Tian Cheng only remembered this ban after he landed

However, he secretly explained to himself: There is a reason for the incident. Even if he violates the general's ban, he will probably not blame him if he catches the two thieves.

Tian Cheng looked up and looked around: Under the bright moonlight, he saw the inner courtyard with rugged rocks, pavilions and towers staggered. There was a pool of spring water reflected by silver-white moon shadows in the middle of the courtyard. The rippling waves in the pond added a bit of agility to this moonlit night.

Huh? Which two thieves are there?

Tian Cheng glanced around but could not see the two brothers of the Jiang family. He did not dare to search everywhere, for fear of making a noise, which alarmed the two people.

After searching around for a moment, they could not see the two of them.

He felt a little impatient and complained that he had come too late to follow

You can't let the two thieves run away with your eyes down?

If something was really stolen in the inner courtyard would be too cowardly

Tian Cheng used his brain to think of countermeasures, but suddenly he thought: When they came to steal things, they must find someone's house. Instead of looking for them aimlessly, I might as well come and wait for them to come to the residence of the lord and his wife.

Tian Cheng worked hard to lift his energy along the shadow of the corridor, and slowly walked towards the row of luxurious glazed tiled houses with lights in the distance.

He approached the row of luxury buildings similar to palaces along the western veranda path.

The center of this row of houses is the transparent and spacious lobby. This lobby carved beams and painted buildings are exquisitely built, several feet higher than the ear rooms on both sides of the symmetrical east-west.

At this time, the lobby was brightly lit, and under the reflection of the candlelight, people were swaying.

There are also several ear rooms on both sides, and there are two rows of east-west wing rooms on both sides.

Tian Cheng approached the west wing, squatted against the corner of the wall and was looking for the figure of the Jiang brothers. Suddenly the door of the west wing opened and a white slim figure walked out. Tian Cheng looked closely in the dark and saw that it was a beautiful girl in the jade age: Zhang Youlan, after she left the door, she leaned on the railing in the corridor. Under the moonlight, she turned her head and looked quietly at the brightly lit central hall, with a lonely expression. Her expression should not be what she, a girl in her youth, should have.

Tian Cheng followed Miss Youlan's gaze and found that in the brightly lit lobby, the young master Xianger was snuggling in the empress of his father Zhang Jingde, listening to what he was saying. From time to time, a tender and crisp laughter came from time to time. Mrs. Lan also sat next to the father and son, listening to their words with a happy look on the side, and she also stroked Xianger's cute little tiger head from time to time.

Although Tian Cheng didn't have much contact with the eldest lady Youlan, the general knew what she had happened. After the eldest lady passed away, she was only one flesh and blood left. I heard that Miss Youlan was very lively and cheerful in the past, but she was much silent since the eldest lady left in labor. After the general married Mrs. Lan, she seemed to have become a different person. She hid herself in the boudoir all day long and didn't know what she was thinking.

Tian Cheng felt very sympathetic when he saw Miss Youlan's complicated gaze when she looked at the lobby. Of course, he understood Miss Youlan's feelings when she saw her father love Mrs. Lan and her son so much.

But based on conscience, I heard that Mrs. Lan takes good care of her, but after all, she is not her biological child. Just like many stepmothers and stepdaughters, this kind of relationship is the most difficult thing to get along with in the world.

At this moment, a petite figure came from the east. Tian Cheng looked carefully and found that it was Miss Youlan's maid Rong'er

Rong'er ran to Miss Youlan panting and waited for a slow down and said hurriedly: Miss, I saw Yan'er had already boiled water. Hurry up and take the bath first and take the bath first. Otherwise, Madam will take the lead.

Humph, I'm too lazy to snatch her. I'm not afraid of washing off a layer of skin every night? Miss Youlan said angrily

But Miss, didn’t you ask me to stare at me? He said that as long as Yan'er boils water, he will ask me to come and call you. It’s like this every day. Rong'er wonders

Miss Youlan looked at her father who was holding Xiang'er in the lobby with a caring look on Cixi's face and said: I'm in a bad mood today, and I don't want to take a shower and take a shower every day? His father... wuwu... As he said that, he sobbed and shed tears.

Miss, don’t be sad. The master actually cares about you very much. No matter how busy you are, he will come to see you every day. I think it’s the most food for you during dinner. Rong'er advised

I don't want to say this anymore. Rong'er, tell me where you found out from Yan'er tonight? I heard that which woman was detained by two wild men for an entire hour at noon today? Will it happen during this period?... Miss Youlan asked with anticipational gaze

Well, Miss, I went to help Yan'er lift water and burn the fire today as you told me. In addition, it is very good usually, so I caught all the truth soon.

Tell me, what's going on? Miss Youlan urged

After Yan'er said that her wife was detained and asked for silver rewards, she went to find Tian Cheng. Do you know Tian Cheng? It's just a tall and big hospital.

Of course I know him, please continue talking quickly. Miss Youlan urged him.

Tingyan'er said: When she and Tian Cheng returned to where the wife was detained, the wife and two men had disappeared. He and Tian Cheng searched the entire back alley but did not see the wife's figure.

Rong'er? Are you looking for a fight? Learn to control me? You are becoming less and less awesome now. Miss Youlan said angrily

Wherever you are, Miss, I have to take a breath even if I run around, right? Rong'er said

Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and talk about what happened later? What happened later? Miss Youlan is already a little impatient

But when they returned to where they returned for more than half an hour, the wife actually became alive with whom she became alive. This made Yan'er very surprised: She once shouted and yelled to Tian Cheng and searched the entire back alley, but the wife never responded to her, as if the world had evaporated, but why did she appear like a living person?

Oh? Are you talking about which woman disappeared from those two wild men for nearly an hour? Miss Youlan frowned and thoughtfully

Yes, that's what Yan'er said, do you want to ask Tian Cheng again?

You girl, Tian Cheng and Tian Cheng, are you feeling like you? Don’t bother me to think about problems?

Miss Youlan teased

Tian Cheng also had a dark look when he heard this in the dark corner. Rong'er had never seen him for a few times. How could she fall in love with her?

No... No, I just think it's more appropriate to ask Tian Cheng again. What if Yan'er deliberately lie to me? As the wife's personal maid, she knows that you can't stand the wife. Rong'er explained

I think it would be better to check which two people's backgrounds. If it's just a greedy person who detains the woman in order to get a few more silver rewards, it's fun if it's a lewd person!... Haha, two wild men and a woman who are a fox, can do a lot of things in the world if they're alone for more than half an hour! Humph!

Miss Youlan said, although there is a resentment, Tian Cheng in the corner also felt that the lady was very reasonable.

I did find it strange at the beginning, but it was difficult to ask my wife because of the affection, so I always had a doubt in my heart.

But Miss, how do you check their details? I rarely leave this inner courtyard and talk about them if they are... Rong'er is in a dilemma

Haha, then I can go to you Tian Cheng to help you? I just said that it was my explanation. If it really doesn't work, I can come forward to talk to him. Miss Youlan said

OK, I'll go find him and ask him to help you check those two people well. Rong'er looked excited

Silly girl, I think you are happy. It seems that I am really in love with the spring, but today is too late, you go tomorrow Miss Youlan said

Well, yes, let's go into the house, Rong'er said happily

Tian Cheng looked at all this. He knew that the lady asked him to check which two thieves were not for the sake of his wife, but wanted to grab the handle in order to sow the relationship between the lord and the wife.

But this doesn't matter, because I'm also investigating these two people now?

Huh? By the way, what about those two people? I never noticed them. Tian Cheng remembered the purpose of this trip. After being fussed like this, he forgot the serious matter.

He analyzed the possible whereabouts of these two people. If they were stealing money, then they would never take action on the rooms where people were moving now.

Apart from the west wing and the hall, there are only a few rooms in the east wing and there is no movement. Tian Cheng decided to take the detour to search the east wing and search the few rooms in the east wing.

No longer hesitated, he turned around and walked around the back of the room

Tian Cheng was surprised when he arrived at the house: It turned out that there were two enclosures behind the main house. This enclosure is lower than the main house and is directly used to isolate the outside of the wall and the main house. Moreover, the one on the east side is still lit with candlelight.

Tian Cheng secretly thought: There were only seven masters and servants living in this inner courtyard, but there were so many rooms. I don’t know which of the previous governors built so many houses?

Huh? Is there still a person living in this candlelight room? Tian Cheng saw the light room in the east and said in confusion.

He was about to find out what was going on when he heard a creaking sound of the door opening. It turned out that there was a small back door in the lobby of the main room leading to the back room. Yan'er walked out of the back door with a lantern. Following her was a tall and graceful figure climbing down the stairs. It was Mrs. Lan.

At this time, Mrs. Lan was no longer wearing formal clothes during the day. She saw her long hair rolling her hair, a casual long skirt with a chest wrapped around her skirt, and a flowing snow-white dress on her exposed and smooth shoulders. Her slender hands were as beautiful as jade fat, and her light makeup was better than Luofu.

The slightest move of the slightest move of the clouds, which can be said to be: the wind and spirit are graceful and the will is graceful!

Really the goddess of Wushan descends to the mortal world

Tian Cheng was a little confused and stood there stupidly without hiding. Fortunately, he was wearing a night-slim dress that only reveals his eyes and was not discovered by the master and servant. The two of them quickly entered the candlelight room and inserted it to death from the inside.

Tian Cheng then remembered to hide, and hid on his side in the dark corner of the wall under the moon shadow.

His heart was beating like a deer. His wife was so beautiful. How could he not be moved as a man of the opposite sex?

Yang or what man in Liangzhou City can resist Mrs. Lan's temptation?

In fact, the ice is not cold for a day. He has long admired Mrs. Lan

More than a year ago, when General Zhang transferred him from the Chishui Military Camp to the General's Mansion and asked him to be mainly responsible for the safety of his family in the mansion, he also had some complaints: He joined the army to guard his hometown, and he wanted to die to sprinkle blood from the Tubo barbarians who were invading the battlefield.

It's not to protect the official wife, the official lady, the young master

So what's the difference between it and a private guard?

Then how can we defend our country?

But one day when he first escorted Mrs. Lan to Dayun Temple to worship, he was impressed by the beautiful lady Lan's appearance.

He has been practicing martial arts in Kongtong Sect for many years and has been with a group of fellow men of the same sex. How could he have seen such a beautiful holy woman?

It was also since that day that he no longer complained about this job, but instead looked forward to the opportunity to go out to protect his wife every day.

But Tian Cheng was still sober. He knew that his wife was the lord's woman and he could never have any inappropriate thoughts.

Perhaps his feelings about Mrs. Lan are more precisely an appreciation, a kind of heartfelt appreciation of beautiful things.

Alas, what am I thinking about? Am I tracking down two thieves? Tian Cheng shook his head with a wry smile before he took back his mind and started to do the job

It would be better to go to the east wing room to see where there is no one. If they do, they should go where they steal property.

Thinking of this, Tian Cheng no longer hesitated, and then raised his energy, used the light skills, and quietly walked through the two rooms.

Just after passing through this room, suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, he seemed to find a black shadow shaking on the east wall of the room with candlelight on the east wall of the room with candlelight on it.

He suddenly leaned over and hid his figure and looked at the window: Sure enough, there were two black heads moving slightly on the high east wall window. Because the candlelight in the room cast the black shadows of the two men's heads on the ground, pulling out a long shaking shadow.

Who? So bold? Are you peeking at the wife in the house? Tian Cheng's heart suddenly rose to his throat

After careful look, it turned out that it was the two thieves wearing night clothes. They had tiptoed on a very high small footbed with bricks and stones in the corner of the wall. They stood on the stone platform and peeked into the house with their heads. They seemed to be extremely focused. They didn't even notice that he was watching the path not far away.

What are these two thieves looking at? They are so focused? They just peeping and tied up the men who have saved their wives. It seems unreasonable.

Tian Cheng was a little hesitant whether he would arrest them now and tie them up.

Because they have not started committing crimes yet, nor have they been captured by others

While hesitating, I suddenly saw something strange. It turned out that one of them seemed to reach out and pull it under his crotch. In order to see the strangeness of the thief, Tian Chengyun practiced his eyes and silently recited the Heart Method of Kongtong No Formless Divine Art "Xuantian Mind", and his eyesight increased several times.

The eyes were like nightingale, and the eyes were like a torch, and they instantly saw the movements of the black shadow: it turned out that the thief actually took out a rare thick penis and rubbed it and stroked it. What was the action of it?

This... is he here? Could it be that the wife in the house...? Tian Cheng was a little confused and curious about what happened in the house that made this guy do such a despicable move?

He seemed to remember that the eldest lady's maid said that it seemed that the wife wanted to take a shower, could it be...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited. Although Tian Cheng was honest, he still had infinite yearning for the graceful jade body of the goddess he had already liked in his heart, and was curious.

He looked around in the darkness and made a bold decision in his mind: I want to see what happened in the house? After seeing it, we will decide how to deal with these two thieves.

He finds reasons to help him free himself

Without further ado, he quickly took the energy and retreated to the front of the cover room. Of course, he would not stand in front of the window to peep, but flew to the beam, and came an inverted gold hook. He drooled his fingers with his saliva and quietly poked a small hole in the window paper on the window.

I looked in with my eyes close to the hole

It didn't matter when he saw it, and he almost fell from the beam with a rippling look...
