The shadow guard laughs at me with a broken sleeve

All the people in the village were handed over to He Shaotang to find someone to resettle, while the others rushed back to the Zhou Mansion overnight to be diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor and Ling Xiao.

It's only been half a month since we came here, Master Yan's injuries became more serious every time, the imperial doctor wiped off his cold sweat, he couldn't guarantee anything, Ling Xiao used Gu worms to hang Yan Li's breath, he desperately stayed here day and night Yan Li had surgery and stitches on his body.

However, Yanli always takes in less air and outgases more.

King Li is missing, life and death are uncertain, no one dares to reveal this matter, if even Yan Li can't make it through, these people in Wu'an will really have no leader and chaos will come.

Fortunately, before this, Xue Lang left Xing Xin and the others with the obvious things, so that his subordinates who only know how to fight and kill would not be in a hurry. Didn't show up.

This winter is too tough, people die every day, Ling Xiao wants to save Yanli and track down Xue Lang's whereabouts at the same time, he is so busy that he can only hope that Yanli will wake up soon.

One day, He Shaotang came over and said to him, "Master has news."

At this moment, Xue Lang faintly woke up in the bumpy carriage, his body was in a mess of injuries, he couldn't figure out the situation he was in, so he could only stand still and observe carefully through the broken floor of the carriage.

However, no matter how you look at it, you can't see a flower from the uniform loess.

Not long after waking up, the sound of creaking, creaking, and stepping on wooden boards reached his ears. Someone kicked his injured leg hard without warning, and then slowly squatted down, seeing that his eyes were closed tightly. , snorted boredly, and backed out again.

Ten breaths later, the man came in again, stared at Xue Lang carefully, and muttered: "Dead?"

Xue Lang lazily raised his eyelids, his voice hoarse: "Don't come here, Mr. Yin Yang."

The man in coarse clothes was startled, then grinned and asked with great interest, "Are you afraid?"

Xue Lang sneered, fell silent for a while, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and your disguise technique is really getting better and better."

"Let me guess, the double in the tent is the real Zhou Zhong?"

"That's right," Mr. Yin Yang nodded approvingly, "Xue Lang, you are very smart, following my king, you will have a bright future."

Xue wasted effort to move his numb arm, and said nonchalantly: "Thank you for your love, but I still like the days when the future is uncertain. Come on, tell me, what is the King of Chu asking me to do this time?" ?”

Mr. Yin Yang snorted coldly: "Zizi has no education."

"Hey," Xue Lang raised a beating smile, desperately making up nonsense, "I can read and write at the age of one, read the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of three, and master the six arts at the age of six... There are hundreds of teachers, how can it be said that there are no teachers?"

"Otherwise, depending on the years of friendship, if you pay some money, this king will make an exception to preach and teach you."

"Don't go, the road is quite boring, do you want to listen to some 'teaching'? For example, wandering 'wrong way, the first sign of ignorance, will be punished later'." ")

The man paused as he walked to the door, his mind, which had never been to private school for a day, couldn't understand this sentence, so he just warned in a dark and low voice: "Don't try to play tricks, you will be in the car before returning to Dachu." Just wait and be honest."

Xue Lang smiled and didn't take it seriously, he couldn't die if he died left or right.

The only thing he was worried about was Yan Li, that idiot, recalling the frightening scene at that time, he was afraid that the people standing in front of him would be blown into mud.

"You'd better pray that he's okay," he murmured, staring at the corner of the carriage absently, "otherwise I'm sure the whole Dachu will have no peace."

The author has something to say:

ah.not handled well

16. Lingyang

Ye Hang hurriedly reported the emergency situation in Wu'an to the emperor, and Emperor Qing fired a fire in the imperial study at that time, scolding the treacherous officials for being a moth of the Lilliputian Kingdom, and Da Chu for being too aggressive.

After scolding, Emperor Qing's face was livid, and he calmed down to discuss countermeasures with the commander of the imperial army whom he had single-handedly raised.

Ye Hang observed his words and demeanor, and recommended himself to lead troops to reinforce Wu'an. At the same time, he nervously knocked out a sum of money from the treasury to strengthen his troops.

Emperor Qing did not object to this. He was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. If he hadn't turned back half of the battle back then, how could Daqing have ended up in such a disastrous defeat.

A few days later, Emperor Qing revealed some facts to his ministers, but just after Ye Hang was appointed, there was a lot of quarrel in the hall.

Only to deal with a small assassin, half of the forbidden army was dispatched. Many ministers felt that Emperor Qing was making a fuss over a trivial matter. Transferring the forbidden army would inevitably put Lingyang, who was weak in defense, in danger.

Another group of people think that taking precautions before they happen, weeding needs to be eradicated. The two countries have been living in peace for so many years. Suddenly, a spy from Daqing appeared and started killing people in Dachu. This is clearly the king of Chu who wants to start a war. Signal.

Moreover, Lingyang not only has the forbidden army, but also an elite guard battalion, and there is an infantry battalion guarding day and night outside the city, so how can it be so easy to face the danger directly.

The two groups of people insisted on their own opinions, and the solemn and solemn hall became a vegetable market as usual.

Emperor Qing watched coldly, and when more and more people realized that the atmosphere was stagnant and kept silent, he asked, "Have you had enough noise?"

No one said anything, even a blind man knew that Emperor Qing was walking on stilts on the verge of getting angry.

"The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. Back then, Da Chu relied on his ability to plant traitors to bring down Daqing. Did all the lovers forget this? No matter how small a spy is, it was also Da Chu's. I would rather kill by mistake and never let go."

"Okay, let's do this, don't discuss it again."

A few words nailed the Zhuhe faction who was about to move in place, and a uniform voice came out of the hall: "Here."

Start playing if you have something to do—retire if you have nothing to do—

Before the imperial court was over, King Rui, who was watching from the sidelines, seemed to be unable to stabilize himself, so he stood up and asked for an innocuous imperial decree

"Father, my son is requesting to help Brother Three Emperors in the next year."

Emperor Qing frowned: "With Commander Ye here, why are you going to join in the fun?"

King Rui showed a fascinated expression at the right time, and said: "My minister admires Brother Sanhuang as a rare general, but he has never had the opportunity to see his brave and heroic demeanor. When I go this time, I also want to take the opportunity to see the people who have been guarding Daqing for a long time. Northern Yan Army."

Ye Hang's face was strange, and he couldn't help reminding King Rui: "His Royal Highness, the Northern Yan Army did not follow King Li back to Lingyang."

"Really?" King Rui asked suspiciously, "Kerchen only saw the Northern Yan army haunting the city a few days ago."

As soon as these words came out, a needle could be heard falling in the hall.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites shook his sparse beard and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, did you read it wrong? Frontier troops are not allowed to enter the customs without a call..."

King Rui didn't bother, nodded his head in a good manner, and gently exposed the trouble: "That may be my king's mistake."

"Father, please agree with my son to go, so that I can express my condolences to Brother San Huang for all the ministers."

Minister: No, no, I can’t afford it.

Emperor Qing squinted his eyes, his appearance was [-]% similar to that of Xue Lang, thinking about King Rui's "unintentional words".

There was no answer for a long time, and King Rui didn't dare to urge him, so he gave this year's No. [-] scholar a look.

Helpless, the number one scholar had no choice but to bite the bullet, taking advantage of the latter half of his official career and precarious life, and repeated what King Rui said just now.

Emperor Qing came back to his senses, took a deep look at King Rui, who was pleasing to the eye with low eyebrows, and sneered in his heart, it's useless.

The imperial examination is the foundation of the country, and all the selected talents should at least turn to the emperor at the beginning. After all, the emperor gave them a chance, but unexpectedly, King Rui gave an olive branch to the newly-produced No. [-] Scholar, and that stupid guy actually Still picked up.

"Hmph." Emperor Qing put down his hand on his forehead, "Since King Rui wants to go, then go and learn more from your third brother."

King Rui's smiling face froze, and he answered yes in a shy voice.

In his heart, since Xue Lang came back as a proton, he is no longer worthy of the word "Heaven's Proud Son", especially since he went to the border to fight for three years, he might have been worn down by wind and sand long ago. A savage who knows how to fight.

He just wanted to go and see the excitement, and pick up the leaks by the way, what do you want him to learn from Xue Lang?Do you want to imitate him as a bandit?

Before Xue Lang came back, he firmly believed that this person had no chance of seizing the heir, but the news from the palace was that His Majesty intended to marry Xue Lang, and said that the aristocratic family would choose at will.

He finally understood that even though Xue Lang was ground into a shovel, His Majesty still had his heart in his heart, and he would expand his power as soon as he came back.

This incident made him so angry that he didn't sleep well for three days. One day when he went to the lake on the outskirts of the city, he happened to hear the common people boasting about the Northern Yan Army without hesitation, but Xue Lang's reputation has always been bad, and the common people respected and feared him. Let Xue Qiufeng get some comfort in his heart.

After the court, King Rui was taken to the imperial study room alone, and the room was full of air-conditioning, the source of which was the emperor of Daqing.

"You said you saw Beiyan Army? When? Where is it?" Emperor Qing asked Sanlian as soon as he opened his mouth. He had no affection for father and son, and the icicles in King Rui's heart fell from the cold.

He lowered his head and replied, "Maybe Erchen's eyes are dazzled."

Emperor Qing glared at him impatiently: "Say,"

King Rui was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said: "A few days ago at the gate of the city, I heard someone claiming to be the Northern Yan Army."

"If someone says you believe it?" Emperor Qing pinched his brows with a headache and waved his hand, "Retire, and learn to be smarter in the future."

King Rui pursed his lips, reluctantly retreated, turned his head to see Concubine Jing, and sued Xue Lang like a child, asking his mother and concubine to find a way to suppress Xue Lang, so that he would not make a comeback.

The pleading failed, and instead he made Concubine Jing scold him again.

Concubine Jing is angry
