Chapter 75: Battlefield in the Dark

……

"Got home!"

Zhujia Village.

Wu Wen, Zhu Jiuye and Yang Ergou arrived at the door of the house.

Just opened the gate.

A big yellow dog rushed forward barking.

"Xiao Huang? He's grown so big!"

Wu Wen ignored the big yellow dog's grin and reached out to tease it.

At this time, a little boy came running over after hearing the noise. He was Goudan from Zhujia Village.

At that time, Master Zhu Jiu was called up to join the army in battle, and Wu Wen did not live here often, so he asked Goudan's family to help look after the place.

"Master Jiu, you're back!" Goudan shouted happily when he saw Master Zhu Jiu.

He patted the big yellow dog's head to calm it down, then turned his gaze to Wu Wen and Yang Ergou.

Goudan didn't know Yang Ergou, but when he saw Wu Wen's sturdy body and gentle face, he felt familiar with him.

"Brother Awen, is that you?" Goudan asked uncertainly.

"Goudan, it's been such a short time and you don't recognize me anymore!" Wu Wen walked up to him and stroked his head.

"Brother Awen, it's really you! I thought that the one who can follow Master Jiu must be you."

After recognizing Wu Wen, Goudan smiled, then asked in confusion, "Brother Awen, how did you change so much?"

Wu Wen just touched his head, didn't answer, and turned to walk inside.

Looking around, I saw that the courtyard was tidy and clean, and it didn't look like it hadn't been lived in for a long time.

"Goudan, have you always been the one cleaning here?" Wu Wen asked.

"Yes!" Goudan nodded as if asking for credit.

Looking at Goudan's figure, an idea suddenly came to Wu Wen's mind.

I will definitely have little time to accompany Master Jiu in the future, and he feels quite lonely living alone.

If I could take Goudan in as my medicine boy, I could not only accompany him on weekdays, but also help him share some chores.

Moreover, Wu Wen knew Goudan inside and out and could rest assured about him.

"Master Jiu, Brother Awen, since you are back, I will go home first." Goudan waved his hand and trotted away, and the big yellow dog also ran out behind him.

Looking at his receding back, Wu Wen turned to Master Zhu Jiu and said with a smile, "Master Jiu, what do you think of Goudan?"

Looking at his eyes, Master Zhu Jiu understood what Wu Wen was thinking almost instantly, and then nodded with a smile: "Not bad, this kid is okay."

"Then could you please take more care of it?" Wu Wen said.

Master Zhu Jiu agreed slightly: "It's feasible!"

—

Wu Wen and Yang Ergou did not stay in Zhujia Village for too long.

Their main purpose of coming here is to send Master Zhu Jiu home.

Afterwards, the two of them rushed back to Chang'an City.

Enter the city.

Wu Wen and Yang Ergou returned to their residence first.

From afar, the two saw a short figure sitting alone on the door frame, staring blankly at the sky.

"Sir, who is that person?" Yang Ergou asked puzzledly.

"He is Xiao Fugui!" Wu Wen said with emotion.

Thinking back, I was not thoughtful enough to leave little Fugui alone at home. Although he had a place to live and the money he left was enough for food and drink, he was alone after all and could easily be bullied by others.

"Who are you?" When Wu Wen came closer, his burly figure blocked the light in front of Xiao Fugui. In the shadow, Xiao Fugui raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Fugui, sir, I'm back. Why are you still blocking the door?" Wu Wen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Fugui stood up suddenly, looked at Wu Wen carefully, and after confirming that the person in front of him was his master, he shouted excitedly: "Master, you are finally back!"

He quickly moved aside and invited Wu Wen into the house.

After entering the house with Yang Ergou, Wu Wen put down the things in his hands and asked with concern: "How have you been this year?"

Xiao Fugui immediately replied: "I am doing very well!"

"In the first few days after you left, I kept wondering why you didn't come back.

A few days later, a guard from the East Palace came to my house and told me, and then I knew that you had gone to the war."

"I was thinking at the time, how am I going to live without you. Unexpectedly, the guard was very nice. Not only did he give me a jar of money, saying it was for my daily life, he also told me to go to the East Palace to find him if I had any problems."

"This year, I had enough to eat, a warm place to live, and no one dared to bully me. I lived a very comfortable life. But even so, I still thought about you every day. I sat at the door every day, waiting for you to come back early!"

Hearing this, Wu Wen couldn't help but think in his heart. How could a guard of the Eastern Palace give money to Xiao Fugui for no reason and also say that he could go to the Eastern Palace to find him if he had any problems? There must be someone behind this.

"Ergou, you stay at home with Fugui. I'm going to the East Palace."

After saying that, Wu Wen stood up and left.

When he arrived at the gate of the East Palace.

I happened to meet Wei Zheng.

"Nephew Wu!" Wei Zheng was the first to greet him.

"Uncle Wei!" Wu Wen responded.

The two then walked together and entered the East Palace together.

"Uncle Wei, did you arrange for someone to go to my residence and look after my servant?" Wu Wen asked.

"Yes, that's right." Wei Zheng nodded in confirmation. "One day I passed by your residence and saw him squatting at the door, looking expectant. I knew he must be waiting for you to come home."

"So, I arranged for a guard from the East Palace to tell him about you, gave him some money, and asked the guard to take good care of him."

"Thank you, Uncle Wei!" Wu Wen bowed to express his gratitude.

"It's just a piece of cake." Wei Zheng waved his hand nonchalantly.

Suddenly, his expression became serious, and he stared at Wu Wen: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to lead the Changlin Army. Do you understand the deep meaning of this?"

Wu Wen was puzzled: "Aren't they the left and right Changlin gates stationed in the East Palace?"

Wei Zheng shook his head and explained slowly: "The primary responsibility of the Changlin Army is indeed to guard the left and right Changlin Gates of the Eastern Palace. But you have to understand who the Changlin Army is defending!"

Wu Wen frowned slightly, waiting for Wei Zheng's next words.

Wei Zheng continued, “The Changlin Army must not only guard against those who will lead the army to attack the Eastern Palace, but also guard against those who will sneak into the Eastern Palace in various ways and pose a threat to Your Highness.”

"Please give me some advice, Uncle Wei." Wu Wen asked with a bow.

Wei Zheng's eyes were deep: "The Changlin Army should guard against people who can display extraordinary abilities, such as the Zhanbo tribe under the command of the King of Qin."

"I believe you have also witnessed their methods on the battlefield this time."

"Compared to the battles of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, the methods used by these people in Chang'an City are often more bizarre and powerful."

"Therefore, you should be especially wary of this kind of people."

After hearing what Wei Zheng said, Wu Wen fell into deep thought.

However, Wei Zheng did not stop there, but continued: "In addition to this type of people, there is another type of people that you also need to be on guard against."

"Anything else?" Wu Wen looked at Wei Zheng again in confusion.

"They are the bad guys secretly recruited and gathered under the command of King Qin." Wei Zheng said in a serious tone.
