Without thinking, I grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it out. When I was a child, my greatest pleasure was to hit birds with pebbles, and I almost always hit it. This skill was taught to me by my old uncle. In fact, he was quite naughty. I was supposed to let me beat leaves. We beat them a few times, but he said it was boring, so he shot birds with me. My uncle and nephew were happy, but the birds were unlucky. Until one day when I was flying stones, When I shot down a bird, I was bumped into by my grandfather who was walking. He changed his usual amiable demeanor and became furious. He called us in front of us, scolded me for not cherishing life, and slapped my uncle hard. Then we were punished to kneel for a day. , I am strictly prohibited from hunting birds again. My grandfather's teachings left a deep impression on my heart, but what I experienced later, I'm afraid no amount of his teachings could shake it. Sometimes life is helpless. Even if you know you are wrong, you still have to keep going. You really can't help yourself.

My uncle said that he could kill two birds with one stone, and my grandfather could kill three birds with one stone. Unfortunately, I never asked my uncle to teach me, but I always thought about how my grandfather would hit the stone and hit three birds at the same time.

But I can only knock down one sleeve arrow with a cup, and I can't control the other one.

The cup knocked down one of the sleeve arrows, and then fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. Another sleeve arrow shot straight at Zhang Yong. I hurriedly shouted: "Father, get out of the way!" Before I finished speaking, a figure flashed, and one person appeared. Already standing in front of Zhang Yong, holding the sleeve arrow firmly in his hand, he did not forget to look at me and said: "What a boy!"

After Jian Cheng shot the sleeve arrow, he didn't stop and ran straight out. The two eunuchs at the door were already prepared and took action at the same time to pull Jian Cheng's arms. Jian Cheng stepped aside and pushed with both hands, making two "bang" sounds. , the two fell heavily to the ground. But he didn't like fighting and walked away quickly. The people outside didn't know what was going on at first. They only saw someone being escorted in. When the sound of fighting came from inside, they realized that everyone was running over. Jian Cheng was very fast and quickly pushed down the two captains who rushed up. He was about to run behind the tent, but suddenly he staggered a few steps, then fell to the ground and said vaguely: "Despicable villain, he actually poisoned the wine!"

I had been looking at everything that happened in surprise. I suddenly heard it and was shocked. Oh dear, I also drank. Could it be that I was also poisoned? But his mind was very clear, and he didn't feel anything strange around him. More people outside rushed forward and tied up Jian Cheng quickly with hands and feet. Among them, Ning Boyang rushed in front and wanted to grab Jian Cheng's clothes no matter what. But someone saw me and thought I was Jian Cheng's accomplice. , ran over with his teeth and claws open. I was stunned for a moment, and someone shouted: "Stop, he saved Eunuch Zhang!"

I looked up at the man. He was wearing night clothes, burly, in his thirties, with a slight beard, and a solemn face. He glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and carefully protected Zhang Yong. When everyone saw this, they knelt down and said "father-in-law." , I quickly followed and knelt down. Zhang Yong glanced at everyone with a sullen face, suddenly smiled lightly and said: "It's okay, let's go out and have a rest!" He turned around and led the man into the sleeping tent.

Jian Cheng was tied into rice dumplings and thrown aside. He was just in a daze and didn't know at all. I was also surrounded by several people. Hardy hugged me enthusiastically and said: "You are really good!" Ning Boyang showed a faint smile on his face and whispered: "You have made a great contribution, such a good opportunity , let you catch it.”

I was not familiar with them, so I was confused by what they said, but I knew that I had unintentionally tried my hand at something and happened to have accomplished something. Lao Yu said meaningfully: "This is also a matter of gambling on life! If something goes wrong, Zhang Ying will be dead." I thought that the wine was poisonous, so I quickly tried my luck and found that it was not serious, so I tried to ask : "Who is that person?" Old Yu whispered: "Liao Jianzhong, the famous Jinyiwei North Town Fusi Qianhu! Half of the Jinyiwei is under his control!"

Ning Boyang and Hardy looked at each other and said: "So powerful!" Lao Yu nodded and said: "Liao Qianhu is good at martial arts and prudent in his work. Not only does Commander Mou reuse him, but the entire court has a good relationship with him. Just wait, he will be able to take care of you in the future." Ning Boyang smiled and said: "That's great! I will definitely learn from him!" Lao Yu said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to endure his suffering!"

I nodded as if I understood. After a while, Liao Jianzhong came out and said loudly: "Take Jian Cheng and Fang Lin into custody for the time being. Zhang Ying, come here, my father-in-law wants to see you!"

In everyone's envious eyes, I walked over. Liao Jianzhong smiled, patted my back, and said, "Good boy, you are very strong!" I quickly said, "Hello Liao Qianhu!" His eyes showed surprise, and he said, "You are new here. Right? How do you know me?" I lowered my head in embarrassment and said, "I just heard of your name too!" He smiled faintly, and someone inside said: "Jianzhong, let him in!"

The bed tent was luxuriously decorated. Zhang Yong changed his clothes and lay on the bed. Two young eunuchs carefully beat his legs.

I hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Zhang Yong waved his hand and said, "You are a descendant of our family who has been brought by our family, and you have made meritorious deeds. Don't be so polite to our family." He motioned for me to sit down, and then said with a smile, "I didn't expect you. The kung fu is pretty good and the reaction is very fast. Who taught you that?" I replied: "It's a family tradition!" Zhang Yong laughed and said, "I didn't expect my uncle to know these kung fu. It seems that your ancestors also led soldiers in wars. Lord!"

I hurriedly shook my head and said: "I really don't know this, but my family has been a doctor for generations!" Zhang Yongdao: "What's wrong with it? Today's sage is a wise man, and his blessings are everywhere. Well, you are a child who doesn't understand this. Today Well done. Our family originally wanted to promote you. You have made great contributions again. Our family cannot treat you badly. We want you to go to Jinyiwei to be the general banner. Jianzhong, when you return to Beijing, you can talk to Murong. , just say that our nephew is handed over to him!"

Although Liao Jianzhong said yes, he said: "Eunuch Zhang, Mr. Murong is easy to talk to, so Mr. Mou Bin may not agree!" Zhang Yong smiled faintly and said: "Sir Mou Bin is sometimes stubborn, and there is nothing we can do about it, hey , it’s hard to say whether he can keep his position in a few days, but it’s a pity that he is such a good person. You can just tell Murong that raising an army for a thousand days will only be used for a while. It’s time for him to do something for our family!” Although I don’t know the total number of things! Qi was an official, but he still remembered his grandfather's words and hurriedly stood up to give a big gift. Zhang Yong glared and said, "Didn't I tell you not to play tricks with our family?" The voice was so sharp that I was frightened. Say yes quickly.

Zhang Yong saw that I was scared, suddenly smiled, and said slowly: "Zhang Ying, don't be afraid, the wine you drank is fine, that wine pot is an eight-treasure pot. Someone told our family a long time ago that this guy Jian Cheng is going to betray us." Family, so our family has tampered with the pot, just adding some medicine that can make people sleepy. It doesn't matter, the wine you drink is different. In fact, for a person like Jian Cheng, Jianzhong alone is more than enough. It's God's will. No matter if you take action, this is also a chance for you. If you work hard, the Jin Yiwei will be yours in the future."

I was still recalling everything that had just happened, but Zhang Yong had turned his head, lowered his voice, and said: "Jianzhong, who do you think sent this Jian Cheng? Could it be him? Or Lao Jianghe And Xiao Jia?" Liao Jianzhong glanced at me, and Zhang Yong said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, he is from our family!" Liao Jianzhong said: "My father-in-law is aware that those father-in-laws in Dongchang are not only highly capable, but also very upright, so they belong to the family. I'm guessing it won't be them. Besides, your relationship with Eunuch Liu is a public matter. Your place is heavily guarded and outsiders can't easily get in. If he sends people, isn't it a bit unreasonable? I'm afraid it doesn't look like it!" Zhang Yong nodded and said: "Well, we don't necessarily think he sent someone to do it! However, only he can see our route back to Beijing, and he is nearby. Could it be that he is knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger? Grandma Yes, he is usually a brother to our family, but he is doing something behind his back! Our family will never get around him!" Then he sighed, "Our family has been in the palace for thirty years, and we have offended too many people. How many people are in charge of the Shenji Camp? Jealousy, wishing our family would die, but our family must live well!"

Liao Jianzhong thought about it and said: "Eunuch, I think this matter may be related to the case you are handling!" Zhang Yong said "Oh" and said: "Are you talking about Li Guangli's matter?" Liao Jianzhong nodded and said: "Eunuch Li Although he is dead, two doubts remain. First, whether he committed suicide, and second, where did the treasures in the inner treasury go? The reason why Eunuch Li has been favored by the emperor for many years is that there must be many people who have formed a party with him! Therefore, the emperor arranged for you to be responsible for this matter, and some people must be afraid." Zhang Yong touched his bald chin and said: "Yes, this is the biggest case in the Hongzhi Dynasty. Judging from the current situation, it does involve a lot. People, even some ministers, are Eunuch Li's helpers. Our family is responsible for this case, and we are somewhat worried. If we don't handle it well, it will affect the prince." He raised his head again and said: "Jianzhong, what are you doing about this? You have to take the trouble to secretly investigate the things outside the palace. For our side, we should start from inside the palace. The most enthusiastic people are often the ones who care the most." Liao Jianzhong responded quickly,

Liao Jianzhong said: "How to deal with Jian Cheng?" Zhang Yong thought about it and said: "They missed, others will know about it soon, and they will probably send people here. You must strengthen your defenses, and he will not just send two people." If you come alone, there must be their troops around. You send people to look around and arrest any suspicious people. As for them, our family can't fall out with that guy yet. You can handle it as you watch. Don't let them talk nonsense. They are still useful if we keep them at home!”

Liao Jianzhong said yes repeatedly. Zhang Yong looked at me and said: "Take Zhang Ying with you. We think his kung fu is pretty good. If we give him more opportunities, our family will have to arrange for his own children to enter Beijing. You take him away first. See you later." See the world. There is a report from the front that the Crown Prince has returned directly to Beijing, so we will not go to Baoding Mansion, and we will go back to Beijing directly! You are considered as the way forward, and our family will send people to take the main road with great fanfare. If they know the current affairs, they will I won't do anything again. When our family returns to Beijing, we will settle the score with him slowly." Under the light, that fair face was terrifying, not to mention the way he gritted his teeth.

Liao Jianzhong took me out, and Hardy and others gathered around me. I looked at Ning Boyang with a jealous look, but Liao Jianzhong ignored it, arranged for a hundred households to be on guard, and called another hundred households to ask him to quickly We gathered together some twenty experienced captains and made a gesture. We quickly mounted our horses and galloped down the official road. I looked confused, not knowing where they would take me. The night was getting darker and darker, and the road was getting longer and longer. As I sat on the horse, I felt like my whole body was falling apart. Ordinarily, when I was at home, I often Riding a horse, just such a run, I really have never experienced it.
