"in addition."

He hesitated a little at this point, and finally sighed: "Forget it, that's it!"

"promise!"

Everyone looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, but they did not hesitate at all to the family leader's order. They clasped their fists and saluted before turning and leaving.

In the end, only the housekeeper Lao Liu was left. He looked at the head of the family and trembled: "Master, what should we do?"

"Huh? What should I do?"

Ji Song sneered. He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but as his mother said, he had a clear conscience. It's okay if he doesn't know. Since he knows that someone wants to deal with the emperor, but he is indifferent, he can't do it.

There are always things that people need to persist in when they live in the world. Once they are gone, life is just a shell.

"Come on!"

"Homeowner!"

"Call all the guards and wait in the front yard!"

"promise!"

  In the palace, Li Shimin had already fallen asleep. He had been tense for several days. Although everything was under control, no one knew what would happen. It was not until Ji Song completely defeated the rebels outside Chang'an City that he fell asleep peacefully!
  Outside the Chongzheng Hall, behind him stood the door like a wooden sculpture.

He had noticed that His Majesty had been having trouble eating and sleeping for many days, and he was relieved to finally fall asleep early today.

"Servant, please go and rest first. There is a young one here watching you!"

A middle-aged eunuch came up and whispered. Chen Shou recognized the person just by looking at him.

Wang De is also an old man who has served His Majesty for many years. He glanced at the palace and found that there was nothing wrong. He really couldn't stand it any longer. After all, he is old. I think it was common for me to stay up for three days and three nights in those days, but now it is not possible.

"Well, you know His Majesty's temper, so don't disturb him!" Chen Shou warned.

"You can rest assured, servant. Are you still worried, slave? When did anything happen?" Wang De said with a smile.

"Well, let's go and relax for a while. Call me if you need anything!"

"Yes!"

Wang De looked at Chen Shou's back, his eyes full of respect and humility, but until he could no longer see him, his eyes were only cold.

He glanced at the guards around him and sneered in his heart: "Let you stay a little longer!"

Time passed slowly, and Ji Run, who was resting in the official office where Jinwu Guard was on duty outside Zhuque Gate, was suddenly awakened by a sound. He carefully held the horizontal knife, came to the window, and opened it suddenly.

flutter~
  I saw a tame falcon appear in front of me, and his sharp eyes suddenly softened, and he even stepped forward and pecked Ji Run a few times.

Ji Run breathed a sigh of relief, skillfully found his own snacks, fed it a few pieces of dried meat, and then took off the small bamboo tube from its neck.

Ignoring the falcon who was eating, he came to the light and opened the bamboo tube. There was only a note inside, and it only had four words: Your Majesty is in danger!
  bang~
  The horizontal knife in his hand fell on the table, and he stared blankly at the note in his hand. Familiar characters, familiar code words, he was sure that no one except his father could make them so realistic!

flutter~
  There were footsteps outside the window, and the tamed falcon spread its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

The door next door opened, and a man came to Ji Run's door and knocked on the door: "Brother Ziliang, what happened?"

squeak~
  The door opened, and Ji Run put on her coat and said sheepishly: "It's okay, I just accidentally touched the table." "Oh, I see, brother Liang, have a good rest. I'm going to be on duty. I'll call you when the time is up." you!"

The other party was about to leave after saying that. Ji Run wanted to close the door, but
  "Wait a minute!"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Is there anything else?"

Ji Run sighed: "Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother. Yesterday, I made your majesty angry again. Now I'm thinking about how to apologize to your majesty. If not, I'll go on duty tonight, maybe tomorrow Your Majesty will suffer less if you see that I am diligent."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be punished tomorrow!"

The other party laughed when he heard Ji Run's explanation, but he looked a little envious. No wonder, who can make His Majesty angry and still be safe? He is the eldest son of Duke Tan in front of him!
  Who let the family have a good father?
  "Hey, so that's what happened. Okay, it'll be the same if you go or I go!"

The other party agreed without thinking. Anyway, this wouldn't happen once or twice. Sometimes His Majesty would ask him by name to be on duty overnight. This is nothing new among the Jinwu Guards!
  "Thank you very much, brother. I'll treat you to my little brother Zuixianlou later!"

"That's a good relationship, so it's a deal!"

The other party's eyes lit up. Zuixianlou was the best restaurant in Chang'an. Every time I went there, it was usually the young master who treated him, but I haven't been there for a while.

"Okay, little brother, put on your armor now!"

As if he was afraid that the other party would not agree, Ji Run immediately entered the room and put on his armor, picked up the horizontal knife, and finally hesitated for a moment before taking out a box under his chair. After assembling it, he tied it to his left arm before walking out of the room. .
  It was late at night in a blink of an eye, and the cold moon hung high in the sky. The entire Chongzheng Hall was quiet, and snores could be heard from inside.

Wang De's closed eyes suddenly opened. After a group of patrolling soldiers left, he said to the young eunuch on the side: "Watch carefully, let's go and relieve ourselves!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the other party's response.

Along with this, Ji Run, after many twists and turns, finally changed his place of duty to the outside of the apse of Chongzheng Hall. This place not only has a wide view, but is also close to the place where His Majesty sleeps.

Once a situation arises, he can appear in a very short time.

He didn't know what danger his father was talking about, but he believed that his father would never make a mistake.

After crossing a section of palace passage, Wang De came to a palace wall. After finding no one around, he kicked a stone a few times and waited quietly.

wow~
  The grass not far away from the feet was opened up. Such a scene could scare someone to death in the middle of the night, but Wang De was not surprised but was happy. He only saw a human head appearing above the entrance of the cave. When he saw Wang De, the vigilance in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"how?"

"Chen Shou has been transferred by me. Now there are only a dozen people guarding outside the palace. We must be fast!"

"Okay, lead the way!"

Soon enough, hundreds of people emerged from the cave entrance. They were dressed in black and holding crossbows. Their words and deeds looked like they were trained death warriors.

"You, you, you go and clean up in front, the others follow me!"

"promise!"
-
  Ji Run was bored and fell asleep leaning against a pillar. The patrolling captain originally wanted to step forward and scold him, but when he saw who it was, he left obediently. After that, he did not forget to tell him not to catch a cold.

Who would let someone be His Majesty's grandson-in-law? He is one of his own family members. They would not dare to fish on duty. And he often treats them to feasts and drinks, which is nothing.

Suddenly, Ji Run's ears perked up. Years of practicing martial arts had made him sharp. He seemed to hear the sound of a knife entering flesh.
