The silver-white moonlight poured into the screen window, and the noisy and mournful cicadas outside the window had stopped, and the four fields were quiet. The moonlight and silence intertwine a net of dreams, and everything in heaven and earth is included in the net, falling into a deep dream.

But there are exceptions.

On the big bed in the master bedroom of Jingxiang Garden, Zhu Ping'an turned over, and after a while, he turned around again, and then turned around again...... In just a short period of time, Zhu Ping'an turned over and over more than ten times.

Tossing and turning, difficulty sleeping.

I glanced out the window from time to time, and when I saw that the night was thick, I turned around again...... Why is the night so long......

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

After Zhu Ping'an turned over again, Li Shu, who was pretending to be asleep on the side, couldn't hold back anymore, and stretched out Rouyi to hug Zhu Ping'an in distress, pressed Zhu Ping'an's head into his arms, and let him fall asleep with his softness.

Soft, Brother Zhu's pillow must be more comfortable than the pillow, so that Brother Zhu can sleep.

"I'm bothering you."

Zhu Ping'an said softly and apologetically, ready to get up from Li Shu's chest, lie down 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 hurt you."

Zhu Ping'an was anxious to raise his head, thinking that his head was pillowing Li Shu's softness, which hurt Li Shu's pillow.

"It's you who don't sleep and don't take care of your body, which makes me feel distressed." Li Shu shook her head, hugged Zhu Ping'an's head tighter, and hugged it tightly, "Don't believe it, you listen to my heartbeat......"

Knock knock knock......

The heartbeat is soothing, as if playing a lullaby.

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

"Hmm."

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

"Giggle...... Your breath is so itchy......"

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

"Then I'll get up."

"Nope."

......

The night was deep and dreamlike.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Outside the house, there was a night patrol of the husband passing by, bang, ringing the change point of Yinshi, faintly into the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

In ancient times, every time there was a watch at night, the watchman who watched the night would beat the clock to tell the time. The husband is now reporting Yinshi, that is, around three o'clock.

After faintly hearing the sound of the bang, Zhu Ping'an opened his eyes, got up from the bed lightly, and after getting out of bed, he carefully covered the quilt for Li Shu, and then kissed Li Shu lightly on the forehead.

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

Out of the yard, Zhu Ping'an went straight to the stable in the front yard.

Zhu Ping'an thought that Liu Dadao should not get up at this point, but he was thinking about leading the horse, and then said to the nursing home on duty in the front yard, and asked him to wait for Liu Dadao to say to Liu Dadao after he got up, and said that he didn't need to send it today. However, to Zhu Ping'an's surprise, Zhu Ping'an saw Liu Dadao when he walked to the stable.

"Brother Dadao, why did you get up so early?" Zhu Ping'an asked very unexpectedly.

"Hehe, early Childe, the young lady sent someone to send me a message yesterday evening, asking me to get up early this morning and wait for Childe."

Liu Dadao smiled and scratched his head.

Belch.

All right.

Li Shu, this girl, Zhu Ping'an heard this, looked up in the direction of Jingxiang Garden, and there was a warm current in his heart.

Because Zhu Ping'an got up too early and the curfew time was not over, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao took the horse and waited in front of the gate of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion for a while, and the gong to lift the curfew slowly sounded. As soon as he heard the sound of the curfew lifting the gong, Zhu Ping'an turned over and rode towards Yang Jisheng's mansion.

Liu Dadao rode his horse and followed.

When he was halfway through, Zhu Ping'an suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked for leave from Yuwangfu, and the two places were not on the way, so Zhu Ping'an asked Liu Dadao to go to Yuwangfu, and said to Hou Wu Wanfu, who was guarding the door of Yuwangfu, that he had something to do this morning, and asked Wu Wanfu to help him ask Yuwang for leave.

"Okay son, then after I tell General Wu, I'll go to wait for the son outside Lord Yang's mansion." Liu Dadao turned the horse's head and quickly whipped the horse towards Yuwang's mansion.

Zhu Ping'an continued to ride his horse forward and went to Yang Jisheng's mansion, fortunately, the time was early, there were basically no pedestrians on the road, and the road was unimpeded.

Yang Jisheng's mansion is located in a humble alley alley, which has a bad environment and a musty smell after entering. The yards of this alley are all used for rent, and the yard rented by Yang Jisheng is the smallest one in this alley, and the worst one, just a small courtyard with a single family, and there is a main house, a side room, a stove room and a toilet, which is similar to the courtyard in the countryside, and the simple one cannot be simpler.

It is really unimaginable that a dignified member of the military department rents such a courtyard from a five-rank official and a deputy bureau-level cadre.

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

There is a simple plaque hanging on the courtyard, which reads "Yang Mansion", judging from the handwriting, it is written by Yang Jisheng himself.

Through the crack in the door, I vaguely saw that there seemed to be an oil lamp on in the room.

It seems that Senior Brother Yang has not gone out yet.

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

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Zhu Ping'an dismounted, stepped forward and held the knocker and knocked on the door of the Yang Mansion gently.

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

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

Less

There was a sound of footsteps.

"Who?"

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

"Uncle, in Xia Zhu Ping'an, he is the same junior brother of Lord Yang Jisheng Yang of your mansion, and I have come to visit Senior Brother Yang today."

Zhu Ping'an replied outside the door, and the face of an old servant in his fifties could be vaguely seen through the crack in the door.

"My master's junior brother? Why did you come here so early? Then you wait. The old man behind the door was more vigilant, and after listening to Zhu Ping'an's self-report, he didn't open the door, but just asked Zhu Ping'an to wait outside, and he went to the main room to spread the word.

"There's Uncle Lao." Zhu Ping'an thanked him.

Then, I heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, and then faintly heard the voice of the old man.

A moment later.

Hearing a sound of fast footsteps from far and near, and then a creak, the door opened, and Yang Jisheng smiled and walked out quickly.
