Chapter 40 Under Suspicion

  Today there are guests at home, so it's a bit late. However, I still ask for collection and recommendation with a thick face!

  Li Er, Empress Changsun felt deeply comforted and nodded repeatedly. Chengqian was becoming more and more like a big brother.

  Li Er's ruthlessness towards his own brother does not mean he wants to see his own sons kill each other. Li Chengqian is not only filial to his elders, but also friendly and loving towards his brothers, which suits Li Er's taste.

  Finally sent Li Er, Changsun Chong, Changsun Wuji and Duan's family off.

  However, Li Er left Hou Qiang behind, this person had always followed Li Er's side, and was now left in the Changsun family's villa by Li Er. Before leaving, Li Er said that if there was any mistake on Changsun Chong's part, he would cut his throat to apologize.

  Chang Sun Chong gets up very early every day. The first thing he does is not to wash his face, but to rush to the toilet with his pants down.

  If there's one thing that takes getting used to in the Tang Dynasty, it's got to be the outhouse. Compared to the flushing toilets I was used to before, this is a whole different world! After eating and drinking, of course you're going to have to go to the bathroom, but he didn't know how to use a flush toilet so he had to use this pit latrine instead.

  The wooden gate of the thatched cottage was closed tightly, holding one's breath, ready to let go freely, when suddenly the wooden gate was opened.

  What? How is Huo Qiang standing at the toilet door? If you want to peep, do you have to be so direct? Besides, if you're going to peep, at least find someone handsome to peep on!

  "Hurry up and close the door for me!" Chang Sun said, holding up his pants, in a bad mood. If it weren't for Grandpa being in such a hurry, he would have definitely kicked him in the butt.

  Huo Qiang's face was expressionless as he stared at Zhangsun and said, "Your Majesty has ordered me to protect Young Master Zhangsun."

  Chang Sun Chong really wanted to give Hao Qiang the middle finger, in a hut as small as a palm, what kind of person could be unfavorable to him? Frowning, he said: "Is your brain flooded with water or something? Besides me, there's only dung beetles in the latrine, are you worried that the dung beetles will carry me away? Or am I going to fall into the latrine and drown?"

  Huo Qiang didn't say anything, but he also didn't move his hand to close the gate.

  Chang Sun Chong was really struggling to hold it in, his face twisted in agony. He quickly pulled down his pants and squatted down, just about to relieve himself when the door creaked open again.

  Chang Sun Chong really wants to howl at the sun, this person has a problem with their brain, what can be done in a toilet? If he's not suffocated by shit, he'll be choked to death by this guy.

  "Big pillar, second pillar! Take Huo Qiang away for me!" Chang Sun shouted loudly.

  "Master, we're here!" Da Zhu and Er Zhu rushed in from the front yard, carrying sticks.

  Chang Sun Chong smiled with satisfaction, closed the door, and let out a series of happy sighs, feeling completely relaxed! Ah, what a relief!

  Dazhu and Erzhu's skills were high, but compared to Huo Qiang, they were not a little bit inferior. After several rounds, they were knocked down by Huo Qiang.

  Chang Sun Chong pulled out a few sheets of paper from his bosom and wiped his buttocks. The door creaked open again.

  His mother's, the eldest grandson lowered his head, regardless of whether he was walking in the light or not, first wiping his buttocks and then finding Hao Qiang to settle accounts.

  Chang Sun rushed to tie his pants and walked in front of Huo Qiang, saying: "Release Da Zhu, Er Zhu!"

  Huo Qiang let go of the two and stared at Zhangsun, saying: "In the future, I ask that Young Master Zhangsun not leave my subordinate's line of sight!"

  Chang Sun Chong looked up and down at Huo Qiang a few times and said, "You also say you are under me, since you are under me, why don't you listen to my words!"

  Huo Qiang's face was expressionless, and he said in a low voice: "I am under Your Majesty!"

  "Hey!" Zhang Sun pointed at Huo Qiang's nose, looking neither holy nor evil, "How about we make a deal?"

  "What did Young Master Changsun say?"

  "Just wait for me at the door when I go to the toilet, you don't need to keep staring at me without even closing the door. Everything else is up to you." Changsun Chong had already guessed that Huo Qiang was seeking revenge in private, yesterday night he took his younger brother to take a bath, this guy fell asleep on the tree, when he woke up he didn't see him, so today even when he went to the toilet, Huo Qiang would follow.

  "Hmm!" Huo Qiang hummed, "Whoosh" and jumped onto the tree, standing high up to ensure the safety of the entire village. Later when reporting to the Emperor, he must say that Long Sun Gongzi is extravagant, using the best Xuan paper to wipe his butt, it's really too wasteful, even better than what the Emperor uses.

  Chang Sun Chong had just emerged from the joy of being released, where could he have guessed what Hao Qiang was thinking in his heart, and even more so, he did not expect that a few sheets of toilet paper would bring him a scolding.

  The big pillar leaned against the second pillar, and the two brothers felt ashamed. Their kung fu was not good enough to help the young master!

  "Alright, you two have seen the gap now, right? I, the young master, can't take hardship and started training late, so you both must train hard to protect me!" Chang Sun only learned broadcast gymnastics in his past life, couldn't take hardship, and since his grandfather didn't want him to be like his father who only knew how to fight and cause trouble, he wasn't allowed to practice, so he could only do some sloppy moves.

  "Yes, young master!" Da Zhu and Er Zhu lowered their heads in shame. As the young master's personal bodyguards, they couldn't complete his orders and had no face to show anyone.

  Chang Sun Chong had great trust in Da Zhu and Er Zhu, who had been by his side from the beginning. Although these two were a bit foolish, they were loyal.

  "Losing to Huo Qiang, I won't blame you guys. After all, he's a top-notch eunuch by the emperor's side. But if you lose to anyone else, Young Master will not let you off lightly." Chang Sun rushed to comfort them, as for Huo Qiang, since he was paid by the emperor, naturally he wouldn't bother with him normally.

  He also understood Li Er's intention of putting people here, to put it nicely, was to protect his safety; to put it badly, was to monitor. From his confession to Li Er, Changsun Chong had already made preparations for this aspect. Having someone to protect him was better than having no one to protect him. His three-legged cat skills couldn't even beat a local thug, and with an expert by his side, he felt at ease.

  Du Ruhui took Du He to a village several miles away, didn't think about anything, and focused on recuperating. Seven days later, he was already walking briskly like normal people. Previously, he had discovered some clues, but hadn't had time to think about them when his life was in danger; now that his body had recovered a lot, he naturally wanted to solve the puzzles in his mind.

  Du He came in to greet his father as usual, saw that his father's complexion was very good, and seemed to have become much younger. He said: "Dad, you not only look well, but also much younger, your hair is even blacker than before!"

  Du He said these words, and Du Ruhui knew every day when he looked in the mirror. He smiled slightly and said: "As a father, I also feel that my body is much lighter and healthier, and there are fewer white hairs than before."

  "It's all thanks to Your Majesty's effective medicine!" Du He's face was respectful, and the secret palace medicine was indeed good.

  "Do you really think this medicine is for His Majesty?" Du Ruhui stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

  Du He's mind went blank, he couldn't think of any other place where such good medicine could be found, apart from the imperial palace.

  "Chang Sun said it was given by Your Majesty." Du He saw his father's disbelieving expression, hesitated and asked back, "Could it be that Father thinks it isn't?"

  Du Ru Hui didn't answer, but instead said: "Hand me the medicine bottle!"

  That's the lifesaving medicine. Du He was worried about losing it, so he kept it in his bosom all along. Taking it out, he carefully handed it to Du Ruhui and said, "Dad, be careful!"

  Du Ruhui took the transparent medicine bottle handed over by Du He, inside which were snow-white pills, about the size of mung beans, and couldn't be seen clearly. On the contrary, it was the transparent glass medicine bottle that could directly see Du He on the other side of the bottle. This kind of clear and transparent bottle was something Du Ruhui had never seen before. It was a bit like crystal, but clearer and cleaner than crystal; a bit like jade, but more pure than jade, and didn't seem to be carved out of jade either.

  "Did you find any suspicious places in Zhangsun's villa?" Du Ruhui asked, seemingly thoughtful.

  Du He thought for a moment and said: "The village of the Zhang family is nothing special, but Zhang Chong seems to have changed into another person."

  "What's the difference?"

  "Last time a big girl sent me osmanthus cake at night, and was discovered by Eldest Brother Changsun, who beat the kid up!" Du He smiled complacently, a dashing young master, wherever he went, there were people who liked him.

  Du Ruhui saw that his son was still as promiscuous as ever, and wherever he went, there were women around him. He stretched out his leg and said, "Get to the point!"

  Du He rubbed his buttocks and said, "It's all because of Cheng Yaojin. In front of his father, he kicked his son. Now his father has also learned from him." With a sigh, he said, "According to the relationship between my son and Zhangsun Wuji, not only would Zhangsun Wuji not hit me, but he would also chat with me and the beauty together."

  "Nonsense!" Du Ruhui's foot had just lifted off the ground and kicked at nothing. "Be serious for once!"
