Chapter 120
After five o'clock, the drums sounded, the curfew ended, and after handing over to the yamen servants, Yang Kai, Fan Zheng and others watched Ji Sibo leave on horseback, all heaving a sigh of relief.

Rubbing his swollen head, Yang Kai was so sleepy that he yawned, "I haven't been on patrol all night like this for many years, when will this day end?"

Fan Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't open his eyelids. He sneered, "Look at the behavior of our Shangfeng, I'm afraid we will have to stay up all night six times a month."

Five people took turns once, and Ji Sibo had to be on night duty at least six times a month.

Yang Kai groaned in pain, "In addition to being on duty all night, you have to practice every day, it's almost like being in prison."

Fan Zheng took off his boots and didn't even bother to wash his feet. There was a smell in the camp immediately, and he lay on the bunk, pulled the quilt to cover him, and was about to catch up on sleep.

But Yang Kai asked him unwillingly, "When do you think our days will end?"

Fan Zheng turned around, "Either he left Ningbo Mansion, or he joined us."

After saying this, he already let out a loud grunt.

Infected by the snoring, Yang Kai became more and more sleepy. He also took off his boots and went to the bunk. Before going to sleep, he muttered, "It's said that the young boy can't do things well, just like him, adults dare to let him join us?"

Soon, no one spoke in the camp, only the sound of snoring one after another.

Ji Sibo on the other end was still full of energy, and when he returned to the small house, he saw a fire and a slight sound in the kitchen.

After rubbing his stomach, he turned around and walked to the kitchen.

"Master." Seeing Ji Sibo coming, the cook hurriedly saluted.

Ji Sibo waved his hand, "Is there anything to eat? Get some to fill my stomach."

"Make him a bowl of silver noodles, and serve me a bowl too."

When Ji Sibo turned around, he saw his aunt standing behind him fully dressed.

The cook replied yes, then turned and went back to ramen.

"Auntie, why are you up?" He looked up at the sky, it was still dark at this time.

Chunyan pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss told the kitchen to simmer five chickens last night and made a big pot of broth, and woke up early this morning, just thinking about you, young master."

Ji Sibo smirked shyly, "Auntie, I'm already an adult, you don't have to worry about it, but it's just on patrol at night, it's nothing serious."

Ji Fushou looked at his complexion carefully, saw that he had been up all night, his eyes were slightly red, but he was in good spirits, so he was relieved and led him to the flower hall in the front yard.

Chunyan went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

After the two sat down separately, Ji Sibo began to talk to Ji Fushou about the night duty, "Auntie, I found out that the night curfew in Ningbo Mansion is stricter than that in Beijing."

Tell the punishment of the people who were caught at night by the criminals in Ningbo Mansion.

Ji Fushou originally looked calm, but he frowned when he heard this. In the whole world, is there any place that is stricter than the curfew at the feet of the emperor?

Ji Sibo went on to say, "Even if you are sick at night and ask for a doctor, you have to send government soldiers to follow."

Ji Fushou keenly sensed that something was wrong, "Why is the curfew in Ningbo Mansion so strict?"

Ji Sibo picked up the tea that Chunyan had just served, took a sip, and sighed comfortably, "It is said that it is to prevent someone from tipping off the pirates."

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows. If the curfew in Ningbo Mansion had always been so strict, the soldiers patrolling the night shouldn't always be captured by Japanese pirates who sneaked ashore.

She squinted her eyes, drooping her eyes in deep thought.

"Girl, master, the silver noodles are ready."

Chunyan came in with a food box, interrupting Ji Fushou's meditation.

"After eating the noodles, go back to your room and take a good night's sleep."

On the second day after the night watch, there is no need to go to the Fubing Yamen.

When Ji Sibo went back to the yard to catch up on sleep, she asked someone to find him overnight.

"After the curfew, let people go and watch what's going on in the city."

Su responded, and sent someone to watch the movement in the city the next night.

After five days, Su came back and reported.

"My lord, we found something. The soldiers of Ningbo Mansion said they were on patrol at night, but at the second watch, there was no one on the street. Only the soldiers who stayed at the city gate were drinking and playing dice. The rest went back to camp to rest."

Ji Fushou gave a "tsk", and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Didn't Sibo say that the curfew in Ningbo Mansion is very strict? Why did you visit at night, which is completely different from what he said?"

If according to what Su said, the real curfew in Ningbo Mansion is so lax, no wonder there is no way for Ningbo Mansion to be attacked by Japanese pirates.

When the government soldiers got the news that the Japanese pirates came ashore to attack, they rushed over, and the Japanese pirates were all gone.

"What's the point of lying to Sibo's subordinates?" Ji Fushou tapped his knee lightly, pondering for a moment.

Ji Fushou ordered Su, "After Sibo comes back, tell him about it again."

When Ji Sibo came back in the evening, after learning about this, his eyes widened slightly, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "How could it be, Uncle Su, what you said is true?"

Su nodded very positively.

Ji Sibo's face became ugly.

Anyone who is fooled by his subordinates will not be happy.When he took the words of Yang Kai and others seriously, did Yang Kai and the others laugh at him for being brainless?

He twitched the corners of his mouth, his smile was very cold, he thought that after more than a month of practice, Yang Kai and the others had already made Yang Kai respect him, but it turned out that was not the case.

Ji Sibo clenched his fists, "Uncle Su, I'll go to Tantan with you tonight."

At night, at midnight, he changed into black clothes, and under Su's leadership, he rose and fell briskly before disappearing into the night.

When he saw that the street was really empty, his expression was very ugly.

The next day was Niu Lezhi's night duty.

Niu Lezhi sat in the yamen until the second watch, stretched his waist, and was about to go home and sleep with his concubine, when he saw Ji Sibo walking in from outside the door.

Niu Lezhi was taken aback, "Sibo, why are you here?"

Ji Sibo was originally the centurion of the government army, and the curfew was useless to him, so no one dared to stop him from going out after the curfew.

Ji Sibo smiled naturally, "Today I ate some medicinal food to nourish my body, and I can't sleep right now, so I might as well come here to accompany you, Big Brother Niu."

Niu Lezhi scolded his mother in his heart, why does he want a brat to accompany him, if it is nephrite jade and Wenxiang to accompany him for a long night.

But he could only respond heartily, "Okay, okay, with you by my side, I also have someone to talk to."

While talking, Niu Lezhi winked at his subordinates who followed Ji Sibo, and he went out to inform the others knowingly.

With Ji Sibo around, they, a hundred or so people, might be on duty tonight to patrol until the curfew is over.

When the drums sounded outside, Ji Sibo bowed his hands to Niu Lezhi energetically, "Brother Niu, then I'll go back first."

Niu Lezhi didn't know how many cups of strong tea he drank to keep himself from falling asleep. At this moment, he just wanted to let Ji Sibo leave quickly so that he could go back to catch up on sleep.

Ji Sibo saw Niu Lezhi's tired and uncomfortable face, and the gloom in his heart gradually disappeared. On the way back on the horse, he felt that his behavior was really funny.

In front of him, he did a good job of showing his face, even if he wanted to criticize him, he couldn't stand up.

Forget it, he can't change other people, but when it's his turn to be on duty at night, he will never allow them to be lazy.

However, another thirteen days later, at night, at three o'clock in the second, Su knocked on the door of Ji Fushou and Ji Sibo, and said very seriously: "Master, we have discovered a great event! You and the young master changed into your night clothes together, follow me out to have a look."
