Chapter 991 Night Matters

The silver-white moonlight shines into the screen window, and the loud and mournful cicadas outside the window have also stopped, and the surrounding fields are completely quiet. The moonlight and silence interweave a heavenly dream net, and everything in the world is collected in the net, falling into a deep sleep.

But there are exceptions.

Jingxiangyuan's master bedroom big bed, Zhu Ping'an turned over, turned around again after a while, and then turned around again. In just a short while, Zhu Ping'an turned over and over more than ten times.

Tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep.

Looking out of the window from time to time, seeing that the night is getting dark, I turn around again Why is the night so long

"Brother Zhu, sleep for a while, sleep for a while, just get up early tomorrow."

After Zhu Ping'an turned over again, Li Shu, who was pretending to be asleep, couldn't bear it anymore. She stretched out her soft hand to hug Zhu Pingan, pressed Zhu Ping's head into her arms, and let him rest on her own. Sleep softly.

It's soft, brother Zhu is lying on it, it must be more comfortable than a pillow, so brother Zhu can sleep.

"It's bothering you."

Zhu Pingan apologized softly, and was about to get up from Li Shu's chest, lie down on the side honestly, stop tossing and turning, and let Li Shu sleep well.

"You didn't bother me, you hurt me." Li Shu hugged Zhu Ping'an, and said in a hoarse voice.

"But I love you."

Zhu Ping'an anxiously raised his head, thinking that his head was resting on Li Shu's softness, which hurt Li Shu's pillow.

"It's because you don't sleep and don't take care of your body, which makes my heart hurt." Li Shu shook her head, hugged Zhu Ping'an's head even tighter, and pressed it tightly, "If you don't believe me, listen to my heartbeat."

Boom boom boom.

The heartbeat is soothing, as if playing a lullaby.

"Sleep, Brother Zhu..." Li Shu hugged Zhu Ping'an, her voice was like spring water, and her taste was as sweet as honey.

"Um."

Zhu Pingan nodded lightly, and hugged Li Shu with his backhand, like a little pig, arched in Li Shu's arms, found a more comfortable position, rubbed it a few times, listened to Li Shu's sleeping heartbeat, quietly I closed my eyes.

"Giggle. Your breath is so itchy."

After a few seconds, Li Shu couldn't help but giggled.

"Then I'll get up."

"no."

The night is dark, like a dream.

"bang bang bang"

A night watchman passed by outside the mansion, bang bang bang, ringing the clock of Yinshi, faintly passed into Linhuaihou's mansion.

In ancient times, every time there was a watch at night, the night watchman would strike the clapper to tell the time. The watchman is now reporting Yin time, which is around three o'clock.

After faintly hearing Yinshi's clapper, Zhu Pingan opened his eyes, got up from the bed lightly, got out of bed, carefully covered Li Shu with the quilt, and then kissed Li Shu lightly on the forehead.

Then, he grabbed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom gently.

Out of the yard, Zhu Pingan went straight to the stables in the front yard.

Zhu Pingan originally thought that Liu Dadao should not get up at this point, and was thinking that after he led the horse, he would tell the nurse on duty in the front yard, and ask him to tell Liu Dadao after Liu Dadao got up, and said that he didn't need to send him off today. up. However, to Zhu Ping's surprise, Zhu Ping saw Liu Dadao just as he walked to the stable.

"Brother Dao, why did you get up so early?" Zhu Ping'an asked in surprise.

"Hehe, good morning my lord, my young lady sent me a message yesterday evening, asking me to get up early this morning and wait for my lord."

Liu Dadao chuckled and scratched his head.

Uh.

All right.

Li Shu, this girl, Zhu Pingan heard the words, looked up in the direction of Jingxiang Garden, feeling a warm current in her heart.

Because Zhu Ping'an got up too early and the curfew was not over yet, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao led the horses and waited for a while in front of the gate of Linhuaihou Mansion before the gong to lift the curfew sounded slowly. As soon as he heard the sound of the curfew being lifted, Zhu Ping'an got on his horse and headed towards Yang Jisheng's mansion, galloping away.

Liu Dadao rode his horse and followed closely behind.

Halfway through the walk, Zhu Pingan suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked for leave from Prince Yu's Mansion, and that the two places were still on the way, so Zhu Pingan asked Liu Dadao to go to Prince Yu's Mansion instead, and told Wu Wanfu, the gatekeeper of Prince Yu's Mansion, that I have something to do this morning, so I asked Wu Wanfu to ask Yu Wang for leave for me.

"Okay son, after I tell General Wu, I'll wait outside Mr. Yang's mansion." Liu Dadao turned his horse's head and hurried towards Yu Wang's mansion.

Zhu Pingan continued to ride his horse and went to Yang Jisheng's mansion. Fortunately, it was early and there were basically no pedestrians on the road. In twenty minutes, they arrived at Yang Jisheng's mansion.

Yang Jisheng's mansion is located in a back alley. The environment of this alley is not good, and there is a musty smell after entering. The yards in this alley are all for rent. The yard rented by Yang Jisheng is the smallest one in this back alley, and the one with the worst location. A stove and a toilet are similar to a courtyard in the countryside, and the simplicity couldn't be simpler.

It is unimaginable that a dignified member of the Ministry of War, Wailang, from a fifth-rank official to a deputy bureau-level cadre, rented such a courtyard.

The walls of the small courtyard are a little peeled off, but the outside of the courtyard is cleaned very clean.

There is a simple plaque hanging on the courtyard, on which is written "Yang's Mansion". Judging from the handwriting, it was written by Yang Jisheng himself.

Through the crack of the door, one could vaguely see that there seemed to be an oil lamp on in the room.

It seems that Senior Brother Yang hasn't left the house yet.

Zhu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't miss it.

"Knock knock..."

Zhu Ping'an got off his horse, stepped forward, held the door knocker, and knocked lightly on the door of Yang's Mansion.

There seemed to be movement in the courtyard, but no one came to open the door.

So, Zhu Ping'an knocked on the door a few more times.

less are

There was a sound of footsteps.

"Who"

An elderly man's voice came from behind the door.

"Old man, my servant, Zhu Ping'an, is a fellow apprentice of Master Yang Jisheng Yang in your residence. Today, I have something to pay a visit to Senior Brother Yang."

Zhu Ping'an clapped his hands outside the door and answered, through the crack of the door he could vaguely see the face of an old servant in his fifties.

"My master's younger brother? Why did you come to visit so early? Then you wait." The old man behind the door was more vigilant. After hearing Zhu Pingan's self-introduction, he didn't open the door. He just asked Zhu Pingan to wait outside, and he went to the main room. Pass.

"Thank you old man." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands in thanks.

Then, I heard footsteps going away, and then faintly heard the voice of the old man.

After a while.

Heard a burst of quick footsteps from far to near, and then with a creak, the door opened, and Yang Jisheng walked out quickly with a smile.
