The last time the two came, Zhang Shizhong was still unable to sleep because of his worries about the food and clothing of his soldiers.

When I came again this time, I saw him sleeping soundly.

Even the noise made by the two men knocking down and dragging in the two sentries on duty did not wake him up.

Cheng Xingwan mischievously leaned over the bed and pinched his nose.

Zhang Shizhong woke up from his sleep and clamped Cheng Xingwan's rebellious little paw with his iron-like hands.

His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could cut a person in two, making people shudder.

"Ouch, uncle, you hurt my daughter!"

Cheng Xingwan let out a cry of pain.

At this time, Mo Junyi had already lit two candles. Hearing her call, he hurried over.

"Nah!"

Only then could Zhang Shizhong use the candlelight to see the dwarf standing beside the bed.

Looking at the five shocking finger marks on her white and tender little arm, he was suddenly filled with fear.

"You little rascal, don't do this again next time. What if your uncle doesn't stop and thinks you're an enemy who sneaked in? He'll twist your little head off and that'll be the end of you."

Cheng Xingwan's tears fell from her eyes due to the pain. After this incident, she finally learned her lesson.

I will never be so reckless again.

"Uncle, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."

After applying medicine to her little hand, Zhang Shizhong took two blankets and covered the two sentries.

He also let the two little kids get on his bed to warm their feet.

"You must be freezing coming here so late at night. Go to bed quickly. Uncle Grandpa's bed is very warm.

The down quilt you sent is much warmer than a cotton quilt, and it's also light and doesn't feel oppressive.

This woolen mattress is great. Before, my feet were always cold in the middle of the night and I would be woken up by the cold. Now I’m not afraid anymore and can sleep soundly until dawn.

It's so comfortable and warm to sleep in."

"This quilt and wool mattress were made by my grandma herself. She was afraid you would get cold, so she filled the quilt with goose down."

"Your grandma is thoughtful!"

The three of them lay on the bed and talked by candlelight at night.

"Uncle, was the food you sent last time delicious?"

"It's delicious, how could it not be delicious? It's a pity that we've eaten it all."

"What about Lao Duo? Did he finish it so quickly?"

"It's all because of Qin Xiaotian, the loud speaker, who spread the word that I have delicious food, causing my subordinates to come to my house every day to beg for money.

Look, I haven’t even had a few bites yet, and they took it all away.”

When Cheng Xingwan heard this, he felt both amused and angry.

At the same time, I was also happy that my uncle was approachable, so those generals dared to come to him to ask for food.

"It's okay, uncle. I still have some. I'll take it out later. You have to hide it well and don't tell anyone."

"Good! Good! My daughter is the most filial. Unlike your fifth uncle and your three cousins, they are just four misers who are stingy and stingy."

Cheng Xingwan knew he was joking and didn't say anything.

“When you entered the city today, I learned the news, so I didn’t act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy.

What is the situation with the traffickers?"

"From what they said, it seems that an important official will come to Texas today. If it weren't for the heavy snow blocking the road, he would have arrived long ago."

"Then what does this have to do with you? Could it be...?"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhang Shizhong's face turned very ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

"From what they said, that big shot should have some special hobby."

Cheng Xingwan said as if nothing had happened.

"That's absurd. No, I won't allow you to take risks. I'll send people to capture the traffickers. You don't have to go back."

"No, we've come this far, how can we give up halfway? We have the ability to protect ourselves, he can't hurt us."

"No, I absolutely disagree. Not to mention hurting you, I feel sick just being associated with this kind of person."

Zhang Shizhong's face turned pale and his attitude was firm.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Cheng Xingwan had to turn to Mo Junyi for help.

"Don't worry, uncle, I'm here and I won't let them run into Nannan.

This person is a big disaster. If he is not caught quickly, more children will suffer from his evil hands in the future.

Not only that, he is also the backer of the beggars. As long as he does not fall, the beggars will become more and more rampant.

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won the tiger.

Only if we get involved and catch him red-handed can we catch him off guard."

"You! You guys!............Ah!"

Zhang Shizhong looked at Mo Junyi. The imperial majesty was so natural, as if he was born with it, that people couldn't help but feel awe.

On the other hand, Cheng Xingwan was like a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger, with a face full of stubbornness and unyielding spirit.

Zhang Shizhong was extremely conflicted, the words of rejection were stuck in his throat but he couldn't say them.

In the end, he could only sigh in compromise and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, but you must be careful. If you find anything wrong, come to me immediately. I have my uncle here. Even if you poke a hole in the sky, I can fix it for you."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Cheng Xingwan happily hugged his neck and gave him a kiss on the face.

"Uncle Grandpa is the best, I like him the most!"

Zhang Shizhong was so coaxed by her that he smiled happily, and his originally tense and heavy mood relaxed a lot.

"Little flatterer, let me ask you, do you like your grandfather more or your uncle more?"

"like it all!"

Cheng Xingwan blurted out without any hesitation.

Because she knew that if she hesitated for even a second, the authenticity of her answer would be questioned.

How could Zhang Shizhong not see through her little tricks, but he didn't expose her.

It was late at night and there was silence outside the military camp.

The three of them fell asleep while chatting.

That night, the snow stopped, the wind stopped blowing, and everything was quiet.

Suddenly, Mo Junyi and Cheng Xingwan, who were sleeping, opened their eyes suddenly.

Outside the tent, several stealthy footsteps were heading straight towards the main tent.

"Uncle, wake up, someone is coming!"

Cheng Xingwan gently leaned over to Zhang Shizhong's ear and woke him up.

"Uncle has heard it. Don't be afraid. Hide quickly and leave the rest to me."

After saying that, he quietly stood up and drew the sword from the bedside.

At this moment, an urgent snapping sound was heard outside the tent.

It should be the assassins' secret code.

In the darkness, several figures lifted the door curtain and ran towards the bed, starting to hack at the quilt.

As I was chopping, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

When I lifted the quilt, there was no one there, but clearly two pillows.

"**********"

[Oh no, we've fallen into a trap! Retreat quickly! ]

Unfortunately it's too late.
