Mingran glanced at Yu Jinfeng, and let him go overboard to help him onto the horse.

He was meditating silently all the way, Yu Jinfeng looked at his back for a while, and moved closer: "You don't look very happy, things are not going well?"

Mingran said: "It's just a little different from what I expected." But a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, surprised that the horse thief was so meticulous that he could see that he was not happy.That Ah Yan followed her all the year round, but she never looked up and down.

He turned around and waved at the other three guards, telling them to stay away. Fang said to Yu Jinfeng: "It means that the money is not enough, and the location of the garrison needs to be changed. I want to transfer part of it to the sea. As for the reason? It has been five or six years since we paid tribute to the Northern Kingdom. Our lord cannot be called me, let alone in front of the envoys of the Northern Kingdom. According to my guess, if the Longxiang Army suddenly becomes more powerful, he may be in a difficult position. After all, the opponent is strong And when you are weak, you can't offend him easily, just like when I was captured by you and taken to Huyingbao, I could only bear your anger."

Yu Jinfeng said: "How dare I give you anger, you have always been angry with me, and you are justified in shooting my wife to death." He solemnly asked: "Master Ming, can you really give me fame? Can you really make me This group of brothers abandoned their status as horse thieves and became the official navy of your country?"

Mingran said: "You participated in the martial arts in the Southern Dynasty. You have to fight for everything by yourself, and I have nothing to do with it. It's too early to talk about it now. When you get the fame, go to your four beams and eight pillars to discuss it. It's not you It is up to their willingness to make decisions by themselves, because being a boat master of Zhuluan Kingdom is not as comfortable as being a horse thief. It is too late for you to regret it now, and you can leave quickly, but I will not return that coffin to you. They are safe now where?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "I bought a big house outside the South City. The house over there is cheap, and there are a lot of barbarians living together, and most of them are from the Western Regions, so I can get along."

Mingran stared at his slightly green eyes for a moment, and said, "That's right, people are divided into groups. Martial arts exams will start on March [-]th, and I have already asked someone to change your name, but Yunjing Martial Arts has certain rules, which are different from your old gangsters. From tomorrow onwards, you will wait for me in the martial arts hall in the back garden. Passed the trick."

Yu Jinfeng was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said: "Then there is Lord Laoming."

On March [-]th, the martial arts officially began at Chengnan University Field.Previously, the Lord issued an imperial decree, appointing Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of War, General Jinwuwei Wan of the Imperial Army, and Mingran as the three chief examiners of the military imperial examination, and at the same time appointed Wen Jiaxiu as General Youwei to assist in this matter.So Mingranyu led the golden crown guards to clear the way, and took Wen Jiaxiu and Wen Renyu to support him solemnly, but after watching the riding and archery exam for the first half day, he almost fell asleep on his seat.

It turns out that the Southern Dynasties have always worshiped literature and worshiped Buddha, and there has been no style of martial arts for a long time.Although the candidates also worked hard from all over the world, it is a pity that they were obviously selected from the lame ones.When taking the school riding and archery test, many people can shoot the arrow to Qiongbi and fall to Huangquan, but they can't hit the target.The target was idle there, too anxious to squeak.

This scene was so heart-wrenching that he could only press one eye to find Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "Yesterday, I drank a few more glasses of wine, and as a result, I got a needle eye from the fire, and now I have a flare-up. I am on leave for two days. Can you come back the day after tomorrow? Tell General Wen if you have anything to do."

Lin Shangshu smiled very kindly and kindly: "Young people, it is inevitable to be angry. Go back so quickly, find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and come back when you are well. We are all waiting for you, Lord Hou, to uphold justice!"

When it was Yu Jinfeng's turn to take part in the trial in the afternoon, he took a peek at the chief examiner's stand, and then peeked again, but saw that the chief examiner's seat was vacant, and there was no Mingran.Yu Jinfeng felt a little uncomfortable. After returning to the Yongjiang Marquis Mansion that night, he went directly to the study.

Ever since he gave Mingran the coffin, Yu Jinfeng had been tacitly allowed to enter and leave the study freely, as long as the guard on duty reported it.Just arrived at the head of the door, just heard Ming Zhuohua's crisp voice asking: "Master, how does this year's martial arts look like?"

Mingran said: "The crowd of demons dancing around, rushing forward to pollute people's eyes and ears."

Yu Jinfeng's face was dark, and he stepped in two or three steps: "Young Lord Ming didn't see the end, how do you know that everyone is dirty?"

Mingran said: "I don't need to see the end to know. Why are you so angry? Could it be that you haven't even passed the first test? Do you want me to give you a break?"

Yu Jinfeng said: "Anyway, I was pointed out by you for half a month. If you can't even pass the initial test, you will be the one who lost it." Seeing that there was no outsider in the study, he dragged a chair and sat down opposite Mingran. Then he complained: "You disappeared as soon as you turned your face. It was the first time I participated in your court martial arts, and I didn't see you staying for me to cheer for me. In fact, it happened to be a good thing. There were a few people who were good in the afternoon, but I was a little disgusted the other day. .”

Mingran held a cup of tea and rubbed it back and forth in her hands, her eyelashes were half drooping, she just remained silent.Yu Jinfeng said: "Come and have a look tomorrow?"

Mingran put the teacup on the case and gave a heavy meal: "No. I have to train an elite soldier, but what are these things?"

Yu Jinfeng looked at him helplessly, but Mingran suddenly sighed softly, and went to the school grounds the next day, and said to Lin Shangshu: "I went back yesterday and used the plaster from the Tai Hospital. rushed over."

Lin Shangshu smiled more kindly: "The Marquis of Ming Dynasty is in a high position, but he is so diligent. The old minister is ashamed, ashamed."

Now that he's here, he's safe, and Mingran also monitors Yu Jinfeng's movements while dozing off quietly, in case the horse thief doesn't know the rules and makes something happen.Unexpectedly, Yu Jinfeng was very good. He easily passed the first and second exams, and entered the third exam smoothly. There were less than a hundred candidates left.When the headmaster was fighting with weapons, he caught the attention of General Wan Shunjue of the Jinwu Guard of the Central Forbidden Army. He stared at him for a long time, and then made a special trip to call out his submission to examine it carefully.Ming Ran was sitting next to Wan Shunjue, glanced twice, and her heart skipped a beat.

After returning to the mansion that day, he called Yu Jinfeng over to teach him a lesson: "You have been too much in the limelight these two days, and I have something to remind you, don't bring back the top three champions, otherwise the imperial army will be in danger." Shunjue will definitely ask you to go there, I won't snatch him, so as not to hurt my peace."

Yu Jinfeng froze: "No way, strength is like this, how can you let me cover it up? Sigh, I can't help it."

Mingran got up, approached Yu Jinfeng slowly, and said in a gentle voice: "So, the owner of the car castle didn't intend to hang out with me? He has always been perfunctory to me?" When he stretched out his hand, he actually held his left hand: "Although there was a Where I offend you, now I treat the owner of the car castle with sincerity."

Yu Jinfeng was stunned, his whole body stiffened and half his arms went numb in an instant, mixed with grief and joy, he didn't know what it was like.Mingran chuckled, and suddenly raised Yu Jinfeng's left arm with his backhand, and turned his back behind him with a click: "Actually, your right arm is enough to deal with those trash, let your left arm rest for a few days."

He shot like lightning, Yu Jinfeng was caught off guard, his arm suddenly felt a sharp pain, and was about to struggle, Mingran had already let go.He was full of shock and anger: "You... what do you mean?!"

Mingran said: "That's what I mean. If you want to continue to show off, it depends on whether I agree or not."

Yu Jinfeng tried to move, and he could barely lift it up, but he felt sore when he tried hard.In fact, Mingran's strength is just right, it's just a slight injury to his tendons, but it will take at least seven or eight days to recover.

Holding his left arm, he poured down his head like a basin of snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter, his face turned pale, he couldn't say a word for a while, and then he repeated after a long time: "What do you mean? I...I'm to you... ..." He simply turned around and walked away.

On the second day, the school was short-handed, and Yu Jinfeng became stumbling in the process of taking the test, and he was no longer as high-spirited as yesterday.Wan Shunjue still stared at him, and finally said: "What's the matter with this Juzi? Yesterday he looked very unusual, but today he is nothing more than that."

Mingran said: "Probably because the successor is weak."

Wan Shunjue frowned and shook his head, sighing, "It's a pity."

Yu Jinfeng took part in the rest of the examination with a wounded arm. He was so angry that he didn't go back to the Yongjiang Hou Mansion at night. He only went to the newly built house in Nancheng to make do with Wannianqing and the others for a few days. The right arm still won the fourth place in the second class, and I know the hardships.

There are first test, second test, and third test in the martial arts examination. There is no palace test. The king likes poetry and articles, and doesn't like to see them shouting and killing, because he thinks they are barbaric.After the test was over, the lord received the Wu Jinshi with great interest in the Chongluan Hall on the left side of the palace, gave them imperial wine and bonuses, and also gave them a red robe and jade belt with three tripod armor, and then drove them out to parade in the street. people watch.

Although the parade of Wu Jinshi was not as empty as when the Wen Jinshi paraded the streets, there were still a lot of people in Yunjing and they liked to watch the excitement, so it was still crowded.Yu Jinfeng followed Sandingjia not far away as if in a dream, watching all this with cold eyes.The long street is windy, and red sleeves are fluttering all over the building. Flowers, fresh fruits, purses, and handkerchiefs are thrown down one after another, but they are all aimed at Sanding Jia, and no one can see the foil behind them.

Leaning on his horse to ride the wind, he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and finally had a justifiable opportunity to get ahead, but the glory passed him by.Thinking of the person who caused the figurines, but can't hate him life and death, life is hard, bloody life!

Seeing that Yu Jinfeng was in a trance all the way, a man surnamed Yang who he met during the examination reminded him to look at the road, and asked, "When are you going to meet your lord?"

Yu Jinfeng was stunned: "The seat owner? What is the seat owner?"

The judge was surprised: "You don't even know this? Which examiner promoted you, he is your seat master, you are his disciple, and there will be a support in the court in the future. Although Master Lin of the Ministry of War is in charge of Wu For example, but there are three chief examiners, you can choose whoever is the chief examiner, it depends on whether you get a good match or not."

Yu Jinfeng really didn't understand the twists and turns of Yunjing's rules, so he hurried over to humbly ask for advice: "Then brother Yang, who do you think is the best seat owner?"

The son surnamed Yang said: "The young Marquis of Ming is naturally the best. He is a first-rank Marquis, and he is also the nephew of the empress dowager. He has always been valued by the empress dowager and the king. But this kind of royal relative, how can we Can you talk to me? I can only go to Lin Shangshu's door."

Yu Jinfeng said "Oh": "But the young master Ming is not as old as us, and calling the seat owner... is it awkward?"

Juzi Yang surnamed said with a smile: "Oh, brother Yu, why do you still care about this! No one is big or small, and the venerable is a teacher. My little brother, I want to hurry up and call the teacher, but unfortunately they don't recognize us."

In the afternoon, the Ministry of War invited all the senior officials to have a banquet at the largest Yanqi Building in Yunjing. The tortoise shell mattresses were set up with hibiscus, and Lin Shangshu personally accompanied them. Everyone toasted and all called them teachers.Yu Jinfeng groaned a few times, but was still out of his wits.

Everyone recognizes the teacher and agrees with the year, and after recognizing the same year, they agree with the township, so they just keep hooking up.Only Yu Jinfeng huddled aside and poured himself a drink. Anyone who answered him refused, and his words were as vague as his facial features.

The banquet lasted until halfway through Shen's time, but a person suddenly came up to the restaurant, with tight eyebrows and a serious expression, dressed in the costume of a fifth-rank guard, and walked straight in front of Yu Jinfeng, but it was the guard leader of the Yongjiang Marquis Mansion, Ah Xiao.He bowed and handed over a famous post from the Yongjiang Hou Mansion: "Master Yu, my Lord Marquis invites you to have dinner at the mansion tonight."

To say that Ah Lie is a great person, Mingran's first-class confidant is only responsible for guarding the mansion full-time.It's just because he usually hides somewhere and is a little elusive. Yu Jinfeng has been in the mansion for a month, and he only took a photo with Wan Nianqing on the day when he delivered the coffin.

Now that Mingran gave him such a big face, he even asked Ajiu to invite him in person, but Yu Jinfeng touched his left arm and said coldly: "I don't want to go."
