Chapter 96 I Can Sleep Between You
Chen Ting said he had figured it out. Shen Wangshu scratched his head. Although he didn't understand what he had figured out, he saw the firmness and determination in his eyes, so he patted the man on the shoulder and encouraged him: "It's good that my husband can figure it out."
"I will definitely protect you and our family!"
Shen Wangshu nodded pretending to be moved.
Shortly after the two of them finished dinner, Chen Hao sent them a pigeon, risking being discovered and beaten by his eldest brother for skipping school in the morning.
In the morning, the child took the unconscious pigeon to the academy. When he came back in the evening, the pigeon was still alive, with its legs tied and flapping its wings.
"Brother! You really came out today. I have been watching this pigeon for several days. It hovers on the big tree in front of our house every day. It has become fat and has a lot of meat." Chen Hao said excitedly: "I called it to nourish you and sister-in-law!"
Chen Ting raised his eyebrows: "You hit him?"
"I shot it down with a slingshot. I spent the whole morning aiming at it." The child would say this happily.
The next second, his elder brother's expression, which had just softened, changed slightly: "All morning? You skipped class again this morning, didn't you?"
Chen Haolian was the only one in the room who was smiling and amiable. He was so scared that he quickly hid behind her: "I, I am also doing this to honor my elder brother! Don't hit me!"
This kid...
Chen Ting glared at him, but the latter avoided looking at him and just shook Chen Wangshu's sleeve pitifully: "I was wrong, I won't do this next time."
"Do you really know you're wrong? You say this every time and you never change!" Chen Tingcai was not fooled and pulled the naughty kid out and gave him a good spanking.
A quarter of an hour later, Taohong brought hot water and a towel, rolled up the young master's sleeves, and put soap on his hands to clean them.
The child had tears in his eyes, and he covered his still aching butt with his hands, looking aggrieved, and yelled at the two people over there: "It was an accident, so I have done a good deed, why did you hit me so hard!"
Next to the table, the couple held up a small cylinder removed from the pigeon's legs and slowly pulled out a note from it.
This is still a carrier pigeon.
"Brother Hao said that it has been hovering in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion for several days. It must be a well-trained carrier pigeon and will not leave easily until the item is delivered to the destination." Shen Wangshu said.
Chen Ting unfolded the paper, but found that there were no words written on it, but it was made up of some dots and short dashes.
He had been traveling the world for so many years and had intercepted countless secret reports on the battlefield. He had seen all kinds of methods used by both the Northern Barbarians and the Hu people to hide information - but he had never seen a note like this.
What do all these dots and dashes mean?
Seeing that he looked serious, as if he had encountered some difficulties, Shen Wangshu immediately leaned over to take a look.
The thing on the paper made her slightly stunned.
"Uh... this seems to be Morse code?" She was surprised and amused, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that she did not travel through a real dynasty, but a novel.
Since this is a novel setting, it seems nothing unusual for these people to use Morse code to communicate. Maybe there are foreigners speaking English on the other side of the sea outside the mainland.
After all, they are limited not by the limitations of the times, but by the worldview set by the author.
"What is the grinding code?" Chen Ting looked at her: "Could it be that Madam recognizes these strange dots and bars?"
"This is a special way of communication, perhaps it came from somewhere else." Shen Wangshu said, "I have read some strange books and miscellaneous notes in the past few days, maybe I can give it a try."
"Then please help me identify it, madam." Chen Ting immediately handed her the note.
Morse code usually doesn't consist of very long sentences, so this is naturally just a simple instruction.
"If I'm not mistaken, the meaning of this note after decoding should be - Plan One fails, immediately implement Plan Two."
Plan one? Plan two?
If I hadn't heard Yan Shuyun's inner voice, even if she had cracked the code, she wouldn't have known what Plan 1 and Plan 2 were.
The original text does not specifically describe what Chen Ting did when he encountered such a crisis, but he was indeed hindered by the court before he completely rose up in rebellion.
Otherwise, how could such an honest and reclusive man take such a big risk to conspire with the original male protagonist.
It looks like many plot turning points in the novel are about to come - Yan Shuyun's arrival should only be the beginning.
It looks like the peaceful days are coming to an end.
Shen Wangshu sighed in his heart, and explained Plan 1 and Plan 2 to him: “…What is my husband going to do this time?”
The purpose of the Eastern Palace is simple - they are eager to uncover the secret of the general that has been hidden for more than 20 years, and believe that this will definitely bring him downfall.
So what happens after you’ve fallen from grace? Are the coveted 500,000 troops in the North about to change hands?
"Keep them in the Chen family dungeon for a while. When the battle is over and we enter the capital, I will send them back alive."
A chilling golden light seemed to flash in the man's eyes.
Shen Wangshu nodded: "When will my husband set out? What is the current battle situation?"
"Now that I've gotten through the most troublesome three days, I may leave the day after tomorrow," he said.
“So fast…” Shen Wangshu was still mumbling in a low voice.
Chen Hao on the other side had already shouted: "So fast!!"
"Brother, you've only been back for a short time, and I haven't spent enough time with you, and you're leaving again!"
Although his eldest brother beat him every day, he still didn't want to be separated from him so soon.
My aunt said that swords and spears are merciless on the battlefield, and my eldest brother may not come back safe and sound every time he goes... Although Chen Hao is young, he knows that the glory of the Duke's Mansion, a century-old family of loyal generals, is mostly carried by his eldest brother alone.
Chen Hao also wanted to learn martial arts and sword skills as soon as possible, and grow up quickly so that he could go to the battlefield with his elder brother, fight alongside him, and share his worries.
"After I leave, you must stay at home and listen to your sister-in-law and other elders. Don't make trouble. Do you understand?" Chen Ting warned him.
"I know. I'll be good." The child responded dejectedly, looking up at him hopefully: "You're leaving the day after tomorrow, so can I sleep with my big brother tomorrow night?"
"……no."
Before the maids beside him could laugh, Chen Ting refused with a cold face.
"Why? You always slept with me the night before you went to war..." The child was a little unhappy.
The nurse behind him hurriedly coaxed him: "The general didn't have a wife before, but now that he has a wife, he naturally can't sleep with you, young master, anymore."
"..." The young master did not give up, and generously gave in, saying: "Then it's OK to add sister-in-law. Isn't it good for the three of us to sleep together? I can sleep between you."
