Before Sikong Beichen ascended the throne, Zhou Jing was not a direct threat to him. Even if Zhou Jing was willing to listen to Sikong Beichen's suggestion and give up military power in Xiangyang and join Jiankang as a "quality", Sikong Beichen would not plot to poison him. But now, Sikong Beichen must be extremely wary of Zhou Jing, who is likely to be a reborn person, and there is no guarantee that he will not take risks and assassinate Zhou Jing again.

Perhaps Sikong Beichen would not take risks without taking risks. Therefore, Madam Xue's plan must be to convince Sikong Beichen that Zhou Jing is not a reborn person.

Ying Shu believed that Lady Xue had convinced Zhou Jing to listen to her suggestion, and Zhou Jing seemed to have made arrangements in advance.

In order to confirm whether her judgment was correct, Yingshu simply asked Mrs. Lu: "Have you ever heard of Han Shan Ke?"

"I have heard about this famous hermit for a long time. Your father once spent a lot of effort searching for him, but recently, I suddenly heard that Han Shanke had done a good deed in Xiangyang."

"What kind of thing is this?" When Yingshu heard the word "Xiangyang", her heart moved and she quickly asked.

"It was said that he was staying at a farmer's house. The farmer's son suffered from some strange disease. One of his legs was swollen and ulcerated. He asked a doctor to see him, but the doctor said that the leg must be amputated. The farmer could not make up his mind. , firstly because he was afraid that a quack doctor would be hired, which would cause his son to be disabled, and also because the pain of amputation would be really unbearable.

But Hanshanke brought a good medicine that could relieve the severe pain, and he was also sure that the doctor was not a quack. If the patient did not amputate his limbs in time, his life would be in danger. In order to convince the farmers, Hanshanke reported his name. The farmer made the determination, and as a result, the patient was indeed cured. Although he became disabled, his life was saved after all. "

"This matter actually spread to Jiankang?"

"Hanshan Guest has such a great reputation, so many scholars wanted to visit him but were unable to do so. It is not surprising that this matter has spread."

It's not surprising, but it's strange that in my previous life, there was no such thing about Hanshanke's order that was widely publicized.

Yingshu has almost confirmed her judgment.

Zhou Jing was indeed a reborn person, but he didn't know that Sikong Beichen was also a reborn person. He thought that this time he would follow Sikong Beichen's order and stay in Jiankang, and even donate the "Recruitment Book" when necessary, so that he would not be poisoned again. However, Mrs. Xue knew that Zhou Jing's death must be related to Sikong Beichen. Out of caution, she had to assume that Sikong Beichen was also a reborn person in order to ensure Zhou Jing's safety.

So... there was the whereabouts of Hanshanke in Xiangyang.

Mrs. Xue's plan should not be limited to this, but she unexpectedly got the cooperation of Xiao Bozhu. Now, Hanshanke became a "reborn man" who used divination to persuade Zhou Jing not to return to Xiangyang to avoid the disaster of death. , then there should be no need to move forward with Mrs. Xue’s plan, and even if Sikong Beichen went to find out where the farmers were, of course he would not dare to arrest them for questioning.

The farmer must be one of Zhou Jing's own, and he must have a son who almost died due to a "strange disease." However, it was not because of Hanshanke's persuasion that he made up his mind to accept the amputation treatment. It was probably due to Zhou Jing's help. Subsidy, so Zhou Jing can ensure that farmers will never expose their flaws.

The reason why Mrs. Xue let Han Shan Ke take the "blame" was probably because of a coincidence in her previous life. She somehow found out about Sikong Beichen sending people to Northern Qi to look for Han Shan Ke. She also must have known that Sikong Beichen would be in vain. Once Han Shan Ke entered Beiqi's whereabouts are unknown. No one knows where he went after visiting Lu Yangyin. Even the world does not know the exact location of Lu Yangyin's retreat. Sikong Beichen is no longer afraid of Hanshan Guest, but he has nothing to do with Hanshan Guest.

What's even more amazing is that Xiao Bozhu and Zhou Jing actually have a tacit understanding of each other. Although neither of them denounced the matter of rebirth, they both conveyed friendly intentions to each other.

Even if Xiao Bozhu becomes Sikong Beichen's subordinate, he doesn't want Zhou Jing to die again because of the king's suspicion.

In other words, Xiao Bozhu was not convinced that Sikong Beichen was the mastermind of Zhou Jing's death in his previous life.

But whether it was Mrs. Xue, Zhou Jing, or Xiao Bozhu, they all missed one person—Mr. Bai Chuan!

Only Mr. Bai Chuan knew that Han Shan Ke could not go through Xiangyang, but he used another secret route to help Han Shan Ke go to Northern Qi safely.

Fortunately, at this time in the paddock, there is still time to make up for this vulnerability.

That night, Yingshu didn't find a chance to have a "reasonable" conversation with Mr. Bai Chuan. The next morning, she simply "jumped in" and insisted on making a bet with Mr. Bai Chuan on which of the two teams officially starting the competition today would be able to win. Become the defender in the first game.

"Let's go, let's go, you must bet, and we will drag your majesty to bear witness." Mr. Baichuan has been unable to alternate between morning and evening these past few days, and his work and rest schedule has been seriously disrupted. He seems listless early in the morning, but Ying Shu made such a fuss. He just became somewhat interested.

In the imperial tent, His Majesty the Emperor was supervising the study of the sixth and seventh princes. He didn't mind that someone suddenly came into the tent and made a fuss. He only lectured his two sons who were obviously distracted: "You were born into wealth, so you don't need to be surrounded by fireflies to reflect your return." , Cutting through walls to steal the light, but at least keep your mind focused.”

Turning his head, he asked Yingshu: "You want to make a bet with Mr. Baichuan. Can you first understand the rules of the hunting competition?"

"I asked General Zhou for advice." Yingshu continued: "When I asked General Zhou for advice yesterday, Xiao Lingcheng was also there. When Xiao Lingcheng mentioned Hanshan Guest, I realized that General Zhou was also acquainted with Hanshan Guest, and it was General Zhou who escorted Hanshan Guest. I went to Luyang, so I thought of making a bet with Uncle Jiu. I bet that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's group would win today. If I won, I would ask Uncle Jiu to ask General Zhou. If the cold mountain guest returns from visiting Lu Yangyin, he must Introduce Hanshanke to meet my father."

"You're such a filial girl," Sikong Tong said with a smile, "But why don't you ask Jinghe yourself instead of borrowing from Mr. Baichuan?"

"I am worried that if I open my mouth, I will be rejected by General Zhou. Lord Baichuan is very resourceful and there must be a way to persuade General Zhou."

How smart is Shirakawa-kun? He immediately understood the strangeness of this, but Yingshu's reminder did not reveal any trace, just like planting a willow without intention. Baichuan Jun also laughed it off: "You want to make a bet with me, but you don't give me a choice, okay, Who makes me an elder? I won’t argue with you, a junior. I can only bet that the team of the second and third royal highnesses will win. However, if I win, what bet will you pay?"

"Let Uncle Jiu speak."

Baichuan Jun frowned: "I really can't think of what I lack and what you have. How about this, if you lose, you can take the time to go to Changluo Palace and listen to me tell a story?"

"It's that simple?"

Not to mention Yingshu being surprised, even His Majesty the Emperor was surprised.

After Ying Shu left first, Sikong Tongcai and Bai Chuanjun left the imperial tent together. The emperor asked: "Do you think that Emperor Xiu will definitely win?"

"No, I am sure that the prince group will lose the first round today."

"Oh?"

"Wang Wuniang has never wanted to hear more about reborn people. She is very wary, for fear of getting angry. However, for the sake of His Majesty, I want to let her know more secrets, which will be beneficial to His Majesty's next plan. Wang Wuniang is a filial daughter. But I am also a loyal minister, so your Majesty does not need to be too jealous of the King’s Minister.”

Sikong Tong:……

"Your Majesty also knows that Han Shan Ke cannot pass through Xiangyang. Although he does have a close relationship with Zhou Jinghe's sect and does have the intention of visiting Lu Yangyin, Han Shan Ke has always been tired of human interactions. Zhou Jing He's father and brother cannot fall in his favor, so he asked me to help him cross the sea and enter Northern Qi."

"Jun Qing means..."

"A reborn person cannot bear to let Zhou Jinghe be poisoned again."

"Jun Qing thinks that the prince is really the real culprit who poisoned Jinghe?"

"I am not a reincarnated person. I don't know what happened in the past, so it is difficult to judge for sure. But after all... it is beneficial and harmless to let His Highness the Crown Prince dispel his suspicion of Zhou Lang."

Sikong Tong nodded extremely seriously.

"I intend to reveal more about Zhou Chang's statement to Wang Wuniang, especially about her 'future'."

"Jun Qing must have a reason for doing this."

"The human heart cannot withstand temptation, but since His Majesty is so hesitant, one day he will be tempted to throw out the bait. I think it is better sooner rather than later."

-

Bai Chuanjun is sure of victory, but Ying Shu also believes that she will definitely lose.

Because today's bidding test is the only one among the four that does not require hunting to judge the winner, the leader sent by the Prince Group is Zhou Jing, and Zhou Jing's mission seems to be to find out the plans of each hunting area. In this situation, if you spend time on capturing the flag, you might as well just give up. As long as tomorrow's schedule exceeds the standard double, you can make offense and defense mutually beneficial. Not only will you not lose the opportunity, but you will also be able to give the other team a psychological boost. Group attack, and in the third offensive and defensive confrontation, as long as you are the first to reach the hunting standard, you will be able to take the lead.

The reason why Sikong Yuehu sent Zhou Jing as the leader today was to give the opponent the illusion of a hard-fought victory, causing the opponent to waste manpower on defense and unable to fully understand the terrain of the hunting area. Tomorrow, the opponent will focus on being able to score points. The terrain makes it difficult to divide the troops and hunt, so there is no doubt that the Prince's group can turn the tide of the battle around.

And so it turned out.

But the result was still not what most people expected. Madam Xie and Li Bin also made a bet, and Madam Xie lost. Of course she didn't take it seriously, but just teased Ying Shu: "I mistrusted you this time. I didn't feel happy to have bought a piece of good leather. What I didn't expect was that the queen was extra generous, but it was the Zheng daughter. I looked at her nervously for a long time. Now my son became more and more worried, and the queen in turn comforted her. After watching her for a long time, her depressed face became even more depressed."

Yingshu has also been paying attention to Zheng Lianzi.

She felt that something might happen tonight.

In order to be on the safe side, Yingshu still chose to reveal herself to Xuan Dianjun: "Many of Zheng Liang's actions are inherently strange. I have been paying attention to them secretly. Even Surabaya is extremely nervous today. There is also Xuanzhu, the palace maid of the palace. , her words and deeds are quite strange, I tested Si Shui, but she refused to tell me the truth, so just in case, I asked the palace gentleman to quietly summon her for questioning."

"Sishui won't be bad for me, right?" Mr. Xuan Dian's expression changed.

"Sishui should have no ill intentions towards the Lord, but it is inevitable that she will be taken advantage of because of her loyalty to the Lord."

Xuan Dianjun no longer hesitated and summoned Si Shui. He said that he wanted to drink with Ying Shu to comfort Ying Shu for losing the bet. He only asked Si Shui to serve him and also chose a spacious place to wait for Si Shui to be poured. After drinking, he lowered his voice and said: "Pay attention to your expression. It's best not to change, but you must tell me the truth. You are worried today. Did you believe something Xian Zhu said?! I told you clearly. , I have long noticed that although Xianzhu was transferred from Qianyang Palace, she should have been bribed by Zheng Liangren!"

Yingshu smiled slightly, Xuan Dianjun's method of questioning was actually very appropriate.
