Nine arrows, nine hits!
Xue Lu!
Zhu Yunwen looked deeply at Xue Lu. Since he participated in the martial arts competition, he has performed extremely well in every item. He is a well-deserved candidate for the top spot in martial arts!
Yuan Yue also performed well, hitting eight out of nine arrows.
Ji Gang once again showed his true nature as a madman. Not only did he hit nine out of nine shots, he actually shattered the target with the last arrow, causing the whole audience to exclaim.
Zhu Yunwen looked at this scene and said nothing.
There are many targets for horse shooting and the speed is fast. It ends some distance before noon. Everyone has a rest and prepares for the most exciting horse shooting in the afternoon.
Lin Zhaoxue was combing the horse, thinking about the horse shooting in the afternoon, her ears twitched slightly, and she said: "This is a training ground, there is no need to be sneaky and make people suspicious, right?"
"Good ears!"
A middle-aged man with a square face came over.
Lin Zhaoxue stared and said: "Fengyang Bozhou Wuju people, Lin Bingzhen!"
"Haha, yes, it's me." Lin Bingzhen walked towards Lin Zhaoxue and stretched out his hand to pat the horse, but Lin Zhaoxue raised his hand to stop him, so he could only say: "Don't worry, some tricks won't work on you yet. I'm here to find you , I’m here to deliver a message for the young master.”
Lin Zhaoxue's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "So you are the young master's man?"
Lin Bingzhen retracted his hand and chuckled: "Aren't you the same? We are all on the same path. The young master said that due to the intervention of Tang's Bookstore, a large amount of money poured into the gambling house, and two hundred dollars have been accumulated in the market. Ten thousand taels, the most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly the number one scholar in martial arts."
"Wu Zhuangyuan?"
Lin Zhaoxue turned around and prepared the fodder.
Lin Bingzhen looked at Lin Zhaoxue feeding the horse and said softly: "There are only two popular candidates for the top spot in Wu right now. One is Ji Gang, who pays five for one, and Xue Lu, who pays two for one."
"so what?"
Lin Zhaoxue asked rhetorically.
Lin Bingzhen looked at Lin Zhaoxue seriously: "Young Master said that neither of these two people can win the top prize in martial arts. Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Zhaoxue stroked the horse's head and held a handful of soybeans in the palm of his hand. The horse's mouth gently nibbled and chewed on the palm: "He wants me to get rid of these two people, and then let countless people bet on Wu Zhuangyuan's money, and all of them will fall to In the market, from then on, the young master collected the money and disappeared, right?"
Lin Bingzhen nodded and said: "Also, this time, if you hit all six arrows in the horse shooting, the young master will pay ten for one, so I bet you one hundred thousand taels. When you win, the entire handicap will be Half of it goes into the hands of the young master."
Lin Zhaoxue raised her head and asked, "Who can guarantee that all six arrows will hit?"
Lin Bingzhen shrugged: "You know best what information you have in the hands of the young master. I am only responsible for passing the message. Horse shooting is the last test of force, and the betting market has reached the last moment. If it collapses, you should know the consequences. .”
Lin Zhaoxue gritted her teeth.
Lin Bingzhen raised his hand and threw out a bamboo tube.
Lin Zhaoxue took it and looked at Lin Bingzhen in confusion.
Lin Bingzhen said softly: "This is a poisonous needle with some toad venom applied on it. It will not cause death, but it is enough to paralyze people or horses. I will leave the rest to you!"
Lin Zhaoxue looked at the bamboo tube and put it solemnly into her sleeves.
Lin Bingzhen left.
Lin Zhaoxue sat next to the stable and was silent for a long time before walking to the porridge shed to the west of the training ground. There were sergeants here who specially provided meals to prevent anyone from tampering with the meals.
Every military officer who comes here only needs to sit on a stool, say hello and ask what he likes, and a sergeant will bring him lunch, which is quite sumptuous.
Lin Zhaoxue chose a deserted corner, raised her hand, and a sergeant came over.
"Please give me two ounces of wine, two meat and one vegetable. You can mix it as you like."
Lin Zhaoxue was absent-minded.
After the sergeant heard this, he did not turn around and leave, but looked at Lin Zhaoxue quietly.
Lin Zhaoxue felt something strange, her eyes became sharp, she raised her head slightly and said, "Why, there is no food in the classroom today?"
The sergeant grinned slightly: "Send it, but are you missing two knives?"
Lin Zhaoxue's pupils dilated instantly and she stared at the sergeant.
"The eyes are so shocked and the expression is so wrinkled. Are you afraid that this human-leather face is not your own?"
After the sergeant finished speaking, he turned and left.
Lin Zhaoxue's eyes were full of panic, and she wanted to get up and leave, but she saw two sergeants from the Security Bureau walking in. These people were also dining here, but the timing of their entry seemed a bit personal.
The departing sergeant came over again dragging the dinner plate and said quickly to Lin Zhaoxue: "I am Pang Huan from Qianhu of the Security Bureau. I am here to find you on orders from the commander. If you think about it clearly, in half an hour, your The horse can rest, and your own sergeant will take you to the horse farm to pick a horse. Use it slowly, swordsman!"
Lin Zhaoxue picked up the wine bottle, her hands trembling slightly.
Pang Huan, this name is very resounding, the bloody-handed Yama from Shandong is said to have extraordinary intelligence and ruthless methods. Gu Sanshen also participated, and it seemed that his disguise had come to an end.
But from beginning to end, I had no flaws!
what to do?
Lin Zhaoxue thought over and over again and made a decision.
When Lin Zhaoxue returned to the stable again, she found that her horse was injured. It was said that it was bitten by a passing horse. Ma She was an impossible project without horses. After the sergeant heard about it, he took Lin Zhaoxue to the horse farm in the north.
Lin Bingzhen wanted to follow, but was stopped by the sergeant.
In the racecourse, the horses neighed.
Gu Sanshen was sitting outside a stable, looking at Lin Zhaoxue walking over, and said in a deep voice: "The last time we two fought in Kaifeng, you were only five feet tall. Now you are already six feet tall. Tell me. , is there any good remedy?”
Lin Zhaoxue looked at Gu Sanshen, her eyes a little evasive: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Gu Sanshen laughed and said: "Really? If I can catch you once, I can catch you a second time. If the emperor hadn't met Miss Xiaohan and made a big fuss in the Piaomiao Tower, you might still be lying in safety In the game. Two-swordsman, no, three-swordsman, Guo Luan, are you still unwilling to show your true face?"
Tang Buping held the knife and blocked behind Lin Zhaoxue, saying: "I didn't have the chance to take action in Kaifeng. Now that you're here, you can try it out to see who is more powerful with your three knives or with one of mine."
Xiong Wucheng led him into the stable, kicked open the door, and said: "The injury you gave me last time is still aching. Now is an opportunity to stop letting it hurt."
Lin Zhaoxue looked at the people around her, all of whom were elite members of the Security Bureau, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tell me, where did I show my flaws!"
Gu Sanshen watched Lin Zhaoxue unzip his trouser legs, and what was tied below was a wooden leg and foot, which increased his height. He raised his hand, tore a layer of skin from his neck, and slowly took it off, revealing that A familiar face.
Guo Luan!
Gu Sanshen looked at Guo Luan solemnly and asked: "The Emperor and the Security Bureau let you live a life without holding you accountable. Now you actually participate in the martial arts competition. What do you want to do? I don't believe you. He is a man seeking death."
Guo Luan sat down helplessly and said, "Isn't it enough that I was caught by you once? If possible, how could I confront you again? Young master captured Xiaohan, Guo Xu, and Lin Zhaoxue's family."
"Who are you, Lin Zhaoxue?"
Gu Sanshen was a little surprised.
Guo Luan sighed: "My disciple, his sword skills were taught by me personally. His father died in Yuerhai and he was an orphan."
Gu Sanshen looked at Guo Luan, the man in front of him was a very powerful swordsman, a hero who had fought on the battlefield, but unfortunately he went astray and became a person of the past and present.
The Security Bureau gave him freedom, but Gu Jin did not want to do so.
Can't help it?
"Tell me, who is the young master and what is his plan?" Gu Sanchen asked.
Guo Luan shook his head slightly and said: "I can't possibly tell you these things. Once he fails to complete his mission, Xiaohan, Guo Xu, Lin Zhaoxue and their wives and children will all be killed."
Gu Sanshen walked towards Guo Luan and said, "If you complete their plan, won't these people die? Do you believe in us or in them? This is your last chance."
"So what if I believe you? Who of you can save them?"
Guo Luan shouted unwillingly.
"I can!"
Gu Sanshen solemnly agreed.
"You can't, you don't even know where they are!"
Guo Luan was angry.
Gu Sanshen reached out and took out the telescope, held it in his hand, and said: "You want to know why you exposed your flaws, you want to know why the Security Bureau can protect you and them, this is the answer!"
"Gu Commander Shi!"
Tang Buping was surprised.
The telescope is an important weapon of the military and is classified as a secret. How could Guo Luan know about it? Once people in ancient and modern times knew that the imperial court had such a treasure, many activities would go underground, and it would be difficult to give the Security Bureau a chance.
Gu Sanshen looked at Tang Buping and said, "The emperor has agreed."
Tang and others stopped talking.
Guo Luan took the telescope, not knowing why. After Gu Sansheng's instruction, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the person in the distance, and almost dropped the telescope in shock.
"Clairvoyance? The imperial court actually has clairvoyance?"
Guo Luan was shocked.
Gu Sanshen put away the telescope and said: "Guo Luan, I respect you for being a soldier and for having fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty. The Security Bureau can assure you that as long as you cooperate with the Security Bureau, I will use all the power of the Security Bureau to rescue you. Guo Xu, Xiaohan, and Lin Zhaoxue’s family. If you insist on being an enemy of the Security Bureau, then I’m sorry, but you will have to die.”
Guo Luan finally understood that although she disguised herself very well, she couldn't stand people staring at her all the time. After all, the fake mask was not the real mask. When she sweated, it was under the skin, not on the face. This was the flaw. Every time she stepped on the fake legs and feet When walking, the body will lean forward from time to time, which is also a flaw. I thought that keeping a distance would make things seamless, but who would have thought that this distance would be nothing to them.
"Okay, I promise you."
Guo Luan made up his mind.
Guo Luan knew very well what kind of person Mr. Gu and Jin were, otherwise he would not have done anything like kidnapping.
Although the Security Bureau was not trustworthy, compared to the other two, Gu Sanshen was a man of his word. After they let him go, they really didn't bother him once, and they didn't send anyone to follow him.
Gu Sanshen heard the news and quickly reported it to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen thought for a long time and only said one sentence: "Let him join the Security Bureau."
Gu Sanshen understood that Zhu Yunwen planned to use Guo Luan for his own use and become the sharpest knife in the rebellion.
In the gambling house, with only half an hour left before betting on horse shooting, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman walked in and knocked down Lin Zhaoxue's six arrows with zero hits, paying 200,000 taels for one shot.
Jin Zhong, a trader in the gambling shop, heard the news and felt something was wrong. However, people had already brought silver coins and banknotes in a carriage. In addition, Jin Zhong knew Lin Zhaoxue's true identity and strength, so he chose to accept it and arranged for someone to open it. Gambling evidence.
The person took the gambling slip and carefully admired it, and then... stopped leaving. He stayed in the gambling house, waiting for the results, and was ready to redeem it immediately after winning.
Jin Zhong ridiculed the other party as a fool. Although Lin Zhaoxue's previous performance was mediocre, he still didn't miss the target with six arrows. Sending 100,000 snowflakes of silver like this is considered a fool for many people.
In the afternoon, Ma She finally started.
Lin Bingzhen led the horse towards Lin Zhaoxue and warned in a low voice: "Don't play any tricks."
Lin Zhaoxue glanced at Lin Bingzhen coldly, then turned to stare at Xue Lu who was leading the horse, and whispered: "Everything is under control."
