After killing Xie Jinwu, the woman dressed as a man quickly left the place and disappeared on the official road, causing a commotion.
When the emperor heard that Xie Jinwu had died, he looked a little unhappy. He turned around and looked at the ministers and said:
"Bao Qing, there has been some chaos in Kaifeng Mansion recently. Do you have anything to say?"
In the past two or three months, there have been assassinations by force and then spies from the Liao Kingdom.
Now even Wu Zhuangyuan has been assassinated.
Although the emperor didn't like Xie Jinwu very much, the fact that a dignified court official was killed on the street showed that he didn't take the court seriously.
So many things happened one after another. If outsiders didn't know the details, they would think that the imperial court was in decline and even the capital had lost control.
When Bao Zheng heard this, he quickly handed over his hands and left the class:
"Official, this is due to negligence on the part of the minister."
"Before the New Year, I will investigate this matter and purge Bianjing."
The emperor nodded and said nothing more.
He has great trust in Bao Zheng and believes that he can do what he says.
Moreover, the last military examination assassination incident was also caused by officials in Jiangnan, and Bao Zheng was not to blame.
Who would have thought that there would be problems in the national martial arts competition?
At this time, Cao Bin was following the imperial guards to pay homage. When he saw Bao Zheng quickly glance towards him with a resentful look, he couldn't help but be confused.
He didn't know where he provoked Bao Zheng again.
However, judging from his appearance, Cao Bin secretly sympathized with the dandy young men in Bianjing. I was afraid that Bao Zheng was going to use some nasty tricks during this period of time before the year.
If someone without eyes were hit by his hand, they would probably shed a layer of their skin even if they didn't die.
"Cao Bin, how are the losses of your soldiers?"
When the emperor saw Cao Bin coming, he leaned forward and asked.
Cao Bin cupped his hands and said:
"The officials are worried. Forty-eight of our troops were hit by horses and three were wounded by the enemy. There is no danger to their lives."
Fu Bi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "Guan family, the soldiers trained by Uncle Zhongjing are very strong!"
Although the Liao people only had a hundred or so cavalry charging into the formation, it was very difficult to capture them without damage using wooden weapons.
The emperor also laughed, nodded repeatedly and said:
"Okay, your soldiers are well trained and their expressions remain unchanged in the face of thousands of cavalry, which is beyond my expectations."
"Next, you compete with Mu Qing. No matter you win or lose, I will reward you."
"If you can win, I will give the heir whom you were given last time a noble promotion."
Cao Bin was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him. This was equivalent to locking in the reward in advance.
After hearing this, Fu Bi and others did not refute the emperor's decision. The performance of Cao Bin's soldiers had already made them very satisfied.
Last time, the title granted by the imperial court to Cao Bin's heirs was not a hereditary title. Relatively speaking, it was of lighter weight.
When Cao Bin returned to the school field from horseback, Mu Guiying had already led more than 2,000 people to set up the Yanyue Formation. It seemed that he planned to sacrifice the center and break through from both wings.
As long as their center can withstand it and the two wings attack from the side, they will have a huge advantage. This is also the flaw of Cao Bin's spear formation.
Because he does not have the cooperation of other arms.
Seeing Cao Bin coming back, Lu Zhishen came up to greet him and said:
"Uncle, what should we do? We have no other formations, so we are at a bit of a disadvantage."
Cao Bin looked across the way and saw Sister Yang following Mu Guiying, staring at him with burning eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Look at me..."
As he spoke, he urged his horse forward and shouted:
"Eighth sister, do you dare to fight me alone?"
Just as Mu Guiying was about to stop her, Sister Yang had already urged her horse forward, flicked her gold-embedded plum blossom spear and said fiercely:
"Cao Bin, I heard that you have hidden martial arts skills. This girl is just about to take a look. Come on!"
At this time, she was very excited, and finally had the opportunity to vent the evil anger she had been holding in her heart.
Although she had been tough-spoken before, she was still worried about Cao Bin's refusal to marry.
Cao Bin saw her running to the center of the two formations and shouted quickly: "Sedan, get in!"
The sedan chair had been prepared for a long time, and the horse had been gathering momentum for a long time. After hearing Cao Bin's order, he rushed over first.
Sister Yang was shocked. Before she understood what was going on, she was hit by the sedan on the barrel of a gun.
Just as she was about to get up, she saw Cao Bin rushing towards her, reaching out to grab her armor, and pinned her hands behind her back in front of the horse.
He laughed loudly and said: "You have fallen into the trap... Brothers, move forward!"
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers under his command immediately advanced quickly.
Sister Yang was almost angered to death. She struggled for a long time but could not escape Cao Bin's control. She cursed angrily:
"Cao Bin, you bastard cheated. You agreed to fight alone. Let me go!"
Mu Guiying's face turned red with anger. This competition was originally a battle.
She has already discussed it with Sister Yang, and plans to each lead one unit, with Sister Yang responsible for the main attack on the left side.
Now that Sister Yang was captured, the main attack direction suddenly lost its command.
Seeing Cao Bin's soldiers advancing menacingly, she had no choice but to change her plan and confront Cao Bin head-on.
As expected, Mu Guiying was defeated with a loss of three to one.
Mu Guiying said: "Cao Bin, you win! Why don't you let my eighth sister go?"
Cao Bin put down the eighth sister Yang and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the eighth sister is too impetuous. I want to help her change her temper. Don't be offended by General Mu."
Mu Guiying was speechless. Wasn't it you? Turning around and calling others impetuous, this reason is really refreshing and refined.
Sister Yang glanced at Cao Bin bitterly, her eyes were red and she didn't say a word, she just felt like she was about to shut down.
(I'm extremely sorry, I'm really stuck. I'll try to make up for it tomorrow. Sorry.)
