Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chang Anmin suppressed his irritable emotions and quickly walked to Murong Dao Zong's carriage and said, "Your Highness, all the assassins have been killed. You can come out now."

The coachman opened the lock on the carriage door and let Murong Dao Zong out.

Although he was scared half to death, as a prince, Murong Daozon knew that he must not show any cowardice at this moment, otherwise he would bring shame to the royal family.

"This king hasn't seen such a scene in many years. It's quite exciting." Murong Dao Zong jumped off the carriage and said casually, "Master Chang, thank you for saving my life."

Chang Anmin bowed hurriedly and said, "Your Highness, you are truly insulting me by saying this. Under my jurisdiction, a thief actually attempted to assassinate Your Highness. This is my dereliction of duty."

"And it was Duke Zhu's Dingbian Army and Chen Lang who rescued the prince."

Murong Dao Zong was stunned for a moment and said, "Chen Lang?"

Chang Anmin said, "That's right, Your Majesty, it's Chen Lang."

"If Chen Lang hadn't taken care of a few assassins at the restaurant, the prince might not have been able to board the carriage so smoothly."

Murong Dao Zong frowned and said, "Isn't he a scholar?"

Chang Anmin said: "Chen Lang is a man of both civil and military talents."

Murong Dao Zong said, "What a rare talent! Where is he? I want to thank him personally."

Chang Anmin looked around and did not see Chen Lang. Instead, he saw Wang Yunzhang, so he waved to him hurriedly.

Wang Yunzhang stepped forward quickly and asked, "Is your Highness all right?"

Chang Anmin said, "The prince is fine, where is Chen Lang?"

Wang Yunzhang said, "He's injured and has gone to see a doctor for treatment."

Chang Anmin was a little anxious and asked, "Is the injury serious?"

Wang Yunzhang said, "It shouldn't be too serious. My daughter saw him before he passed away, and he looked okay. It's probably just some minor injuries."

Chang Anmin finally felt relieved and said, "That's the best."

Then he turned to Murong Dao Zong and said, "Your Highness, when Chen Lang gets better, I will ask him to come to the mansion to meet you."

Murong Dao Zong said, "That's fine."

Wang Yunzhang asked, "Master Chang, did you catch anyone alive?"

Chang Anmin shook his head: "All dead."

"There's no way to force them to tell you where they came from."

Wang Yunzhang said, "I once observed the body of an assassin and found that his appearance had some traces of the Liao people."

"And their attire also conforms to the customs of the Liao people."

Murong Dao Zong was also a little confused and said, "Why would the Liao dog want to kill me? Could it be that they want to fight on two fronts?"

Chang Anmin pondered and said, "I'm afraid this matter can only be handed over to the Imperial City Bureau for investigation."

"My Lord, let's go back home quickly."

Murong Dao Zong nodded and said, "Remember, after Chen Lang's injury is healed, bring him to see me. I want to thank him in person."

Chang Anmin said, "Okay, Your Majesty."

After watching Murong Dao Zong leave, Chang Anmin let out a long sigh, turned to look at Wang Yunzhang, his face a little more bitter, and said: "Master Wang, I'm afraid the days of our companionship are coming to an end."

Wang Yunzhang said, "It's not that serious, Lord Chang. This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, the various policies of Linshui County have just been rolled out. If someone else is replaced at this critical juncture, it is very likely that all previous efforts will be wasted."

"If you are really worried, you can go find Chen Lang."

Chang Anmin was stunned for a moment: "Why are you looking for him?"

Wang Yunzhang whispered, "Chen Lang and Duke Zhu have a very close relationship. I even heard a rather outrageous rumor that Chen Lang calls Duke Zhu... Second Uncle!"

Chang Anmin took a deep breath, and the hairs on his arms stood up: "Old Wang, you can't say that."

Wang Yunzhang said, "I'm telling you this, I won't tell anyone else."

"The key to the problem isn't here. If you can even hear others say it, it means that the relationship between Chen Lang and Duke Zhu is at least no longer a secret." Chang Anmin said, "The most important thing is these two words."

"In the past, Duke Zhu had three brothers, and he was the second oldest. The eldest of the three brothers was Li Shirong..."

Wang Yunzhang coughed repeatedly and said, "Stop, stop, don't say any more. The more you talk, the more frightened I get."

"After all, according to what you said, Chen Lang is..."

Chang Anmin asked, "Who on earth did you hear that from?"

Wang Yunzhang frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I really can't remember it. It felt like this incident just suddenly flooded into my mind, and then I remembered it."

Chang Anmin was at a loss for words and said, "Old Wang, how could you forget such an important detail?"

Wang Yunzhang said, "I wish I could forget the whole thing now, as if I had never heard of it."

Chang Anmin said, "You're right. From now on, we have to pretend that we haven't heard of this matter, and our attitude towards Chen Lang must remain the same as before."

"If he really is... Damn it, they're supposed to catch the assassin, but why did they involve Li Shirong as well?"

"No, I need to go home and lie down for a while. My brain is about to explode."

Wang Yunzhang said, "I'll go back and have some sleep, and try to forget all this."

"Master Chang, goodbye."

……

Chen Mansion Courtyard.

Late at night, the lights in the main house were still on.

Chen Lang was lying on the bed with his upper body naked, his injured shoulder wrapped in thick silk cloth.

After a while, Li Xiuzhi came in with a bowl of steaming medicine. She sat down beside the bed, scooped a little with a spoon, blew it cool, and handed it to Chen Lang: "Erlang, drink the medicine."

Chen Lang sighed, "Fortunately, I'm the second child in my family. If I were the eldest, your words would be very ambiguous, Xiuzhi."

Li Xiuzhi thought for a moment and muttered, "Dalang, take the medicine, is there any problem?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "When I have time later, I will tell you a story about one hundred and eight bandits."

Li Xiuzhi snorted, "You're injured, yet you're still talking nonsense. Drink the medicine while it's hot."

Chen Lang took the bowl of medicine directly, felt the temperature, and found it was not hot, so he drank it in one breath.

Li Xiuzhi wiped Chen Lang's mouth with a handkerchief, put the bowl on the bedside table, took off her clothes, got into bed, and hugged Chen Lang tightly.

"Erlang, don't do such dangerous things in the future. I'm scared." Li Xiuzhi's voice was a little choked.

Chen Lang gently stroked Li Xiuzhi's round shoulders and said, "Xiuzhi, do you know what the best way to overcome fear is?"

Li Xiuzhi blinked: "What?"

Chen Lang whispered two words in her ear.

Li Xiuzhi blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "You're still not being honest even after being injured."

Chen Lang said: "It's because I'm injured that I have to do this. This way I can heal faster."

Li Xiuzhi asked, "What if the wound is damaged?"

Chen Lang said: "It's very simple."

After saying that, he lay down flat on his back and patted his thigh: "Madam, please spur the horse."

Li Xiuzhi glanced at the crib at the foot of the bed and saw the second child sleeping soundly.

Then she carefully sat on Chen Lang, leaned forward, held Chen Lang's face with both hands, and said gently: "Husband, I am going to whip you."
