Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Changge who was kneeling below, put down the brush in his hand, and said calmly: "I will host a banquet tonight. If you are not drunk, you are not allowed to leave the palace."
Liu Changge was deeply moved.
Zhu Yunwen didn't mention Liu Changge's contribution, nor did he ask about Bai Lian. He just treated him like a friend reunited after a long absence.
The banquet was held in Nuan Pavilion.
In addition to Liu Changge and Yang Shan, all the core figures of the Security Bureau came. Cong Pei'er thought that the Second Security Bureau should also have a drink with Liu Changge, but before they entered the palace, they were dragged away by the palace guards.
Words no longer seem important.
Zhu Yunwen raised his glass, Liu Changge raised his glass, everyone raised their glasses and just drank. However, Zhu Yunwen was not drunk. When he was a little drunk, he affirmed Liu Changge's contribution, and then left the meeting on the grounds that he was too drunk.
The emperor is the emperor after all. Where there is the emperor, there are etiquette and restrictions. Even if Zhu Yunwen doesn't care about these details, they can't help but care.
Zhu Yunwen also knew that they could not completely let go of his presence, so he simply had to eat early and go back to spend time with his wife and children.
Xue Xia, Xiong Wucheng and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhu Yunzhen leaving, and their voices became louder and louder. Liu Changge naturally refused all comers, and when they had finished drinking, they even talked loudly, talking about the wind and snow outside the pass, the lonely desert. cigarette……
The next day, it was still dark.
Huang Gui and Pan Cheng had knocked on Yuan Yue's door and pushed Yuan Yue to the Ministry of War to wait for the announcement of the results.
Yuan Yue hid in the room and didn't want to go out.
It's all the fault of the Ministry of War, which handed out tickets for the cultural troupe randomly and called it a theater show. As a result, I watched a scene of "The Legend of White Snake", and my eyes still hurt to this day.
Oh, the pain in my eyes was not a passing incident, but was caused by being beaten by a woman.
I just said that Fahai had taken care of White Snake well, and he got beaten up. It was pitiful that he, a majestic martial arts practitioner, was actually beaten by a woman and even hurt his face. How could he see this? people?
Huang Gui and Pan Cheng knocked on the door but did not see Yuan Yue opening the door. They thought something had gone wrong. Both of them were rough men and acted decisively, so they immediately kicked the door open.
Yuan Yue's face hurt for a while, but he still had to pay for the door.
Seeing the injuries on Yuan Yue's face, Huang Gui and Pan Cheng were shocked and angry. One shouted for lawlessness, and the other shouted for someone to settle the score. Yuan Yue didn't want to say that he was beaten by a woman, so he had to say that he was injured accidentally.
Huang Gui and Pan Cheng looked at each other for a few times, and then looked at Yuan Yue carefully. The bruises under his eyes did not look like they were caused by an impact. Yuan Yue didn't want to get entangled in the matter, so he bought a woolen hat and kept it low because of the cold weather.
A lot of people had gathered outside the military department.
Yuan Yue couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Xue Lu hiding on the roadside and not approaching, and seemed to be hiding. He asked Huang Gui and Pan Cheng to wait, and walked over by himself.
"Brother Xue."
Yuan Yue said hello.
When Xue Lu heard that there was someone behind him, he quickly lowered his hat, half-covered his face, turned around and looked at Yuan Yue, and said, "It's little brother Yuan."
Yuan Yue saw that Xue Lu looked a little strange. Just when he was about to ask questions, he saw Geng Wei from the Dengzhou Guard coming over. He sniffed and said aggrievedly: "Borrow me a place to hide for a while."
"What are you doing?"
Xue Lu and Yuan Yue looked at Geng Wei and saw that the man's cheeks were blue and seemed to be a little swollen.
Geng Wei squatted on the ground and said sadly: "Forget it, being beaten is really embarrassing."
Yuan Yue and Xue Lu were shocked.
Yuan Yue asked cautiously: "You didn't go to the theater last night, right?"
"How do you know?"
Geng Wei looked at Yuan Yue in surprise.
Yuan Yue raised his hat and spread his hands: "I also watched the show..."
"And I……"
Xue Lu let go of his hand and his face turned green.
Geng Wei quickly asked: "But was he beaten by a woman?"
"That's right! As strong as a tiger!"
Yuan Yue gritted his teeth.
Xue Lu nodded and cursed: "It's extremely hateful!"
Geng Wei felt a lot better when he saw fierce men like Yuan Yue and Xue Lu being beaten, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "If I meet that woman again, I will definitely beat her up!"
"You want to beat me?"
"Yes, I must beat her - uh, huh?"
Geng Wei raised his head and looked at the woman's unruly face. He was so frightened that he leaned back. He forgot that he was squatting and fell directly to the ground. Even Yuan Yue and Xue Lu took two steps back.
"You, don't mess around. This is outside the Ministry of War, not the territory of the art troupe. If you dare to do anything again, be careful I fight back."
Geng Wei shouted quickly.
Yuan Yue and Xue Lu nodded repeatedly.
I went to the theater last night. When I entered the theater, someone repeatedly reminded me that the people in the art troupe are all members of the palace. They are members of the emperor and the queen. They are not allowed to hit or curse people, nor are they allowed to resist leaving any woman they like.
So when I was beaten, I didn't dare to fight back, for fear that I would hurt someone in the inner court. Once the emperor was alerted, the originally determined Wu Jinshi might disappear...
You must know that Grandpa Taizu could change the imperial examination records even in his dreams. Emperor Jianwen might not be able to change the imperial examination records in a small way.
Cong Pei'er put her hands on her hips, pointed at Geng Wei's face and said: "Come on, let's go through a few moves to see how powerful you men are. I really thought that if you could lift a stone in the teaching field, you would be able to defeat all the heroes in the world." Do you take it seriously?"
Xue Lu, Yuan Yue and others looked at Cong Pei'er and wanted to say, you are the one who doesn't take the world's heroes seriously...
"Don't meet her as a woman, let's go."
Yuan Yue couldn't figure out Cong Pei'er's identity, but he guessed that he was a nurse from the art troupe. Besides, he was a man, so why should he be angry with a woman? He would not win or lose.
"Women? What's wrong with women? Women are no longer qualified to drink in the palace?"
Cong Pei'er was angry.
In the process of capturing the Yin soldiers, the Second Bureau of Security participated in the operation, and the young master Li Qi was captured by the Second Bureau of Security Bureau. With such a great contribution, why is he not worthy of eating and drinking in the palace?
That Pang Huan had no merit, how could he get in?
That's not fair...
"The results are released, the results are released."
someone shouted.
Xue Lu, Yuan Yue and others quickly got away, fearing that this woman would be unreasonable and make a fool of herself.
"Martial champion Xue Lu!"
The sound spread, and the people watching became lively.
Many people watched the martial arts competition and knew that Xue Lu had outstanding abilities. Now the imperial court has awarded him the title of No. 1 in martial arts.
Xue Lu clenched his fists, his heart racing.
After spending half his life in the military, he achieved nothing, but today he won the first prize in martial arts and became famous all over the world! Who said that you can stand up at thirty and have no doubts at forty? I, Xue Lu, have stood up at more than forty and will fight for another ten years to see if I can solve my doubts!
With this title, if he applies to Emperor Jianwen to go to the frontier to kill Hulu, he should be granted permission.
Where is the right place for you to go?
Daning?
No, the area is already peaceful, and I'm afraid there won't be any wars to fight in a few years.
Datong?
No, it was a fortified city, and Wuding Marquis Guo Ying was a cautious man, and would not easily let himself go out to kill the enemy.
Then go to Ganzhou or Suzhou. I heard that the west of Hami is not peaceful, and there are people from Wala in the north. There should be wars to fight there. If you live as a marquis in ten years, it shouldn't be a problem, right?
In Xue Lu's eyes, the credit should come from Bei Yuan.
But Yuan Yue doesn't think so. Although the situation in Guangxi seems peaceful, it is not.
Zhang Fu formed the Pingxiang Guard. It was originally supposed to have 5,600 people, but somehow, by the time he left Guangxi, it had already grown to 6,500 people. Judging from the signs, the number of people may increase. . Everyone's health center had empty quotas, but Zhang Fu was better off. The empty quota could not be filled, and the food and salary could not be collected. It was just a group of barefoot men who trained for a while and then were dragged into the mountains.
It is unknown where this group of people went.
I only know that after Pingxiangwei's people came back, they had a lot of food, and even the problem of winter clothes was solved by themselves, without asking the chief envoy for a penny.
Yuan Yue is not a fool. There are only a few roads that the imperial court can use to transport supplies in Guangxi. If you want to solve the problem of support and food and salary, apart from solving the problem yourself and supplying most of the imperial court, there is only one way left: go to other people's homes to get some food. and clothes.
Just like Beiyuan will go south when there is nothing, Pingxiangwei will go south when there is nothing...
Under this circumstance, Yuan Yue does not think that the peaceful situation between Ming Dynasty and Annan will last for too long. If they really fight again, it will no longer be a small fight between tens of thousands of people, but a duel between hundreds of thousands of troops. The collision between countries.
The best in martial arts?
Well, I heard that the lotuses in Annan are very beautiful in bloom, and there are also three-color lotuses. I don’t know if they are accurate. Regardless of whether the lotus is considered a flower or not, since the imperial court conferred the title of Wu Tan Hua, then reach out your hand and grab a handful back.
Ji Gang stared at the list and glanced at Xue Lu with some hatred. If it weren't for this person, he would be the first person in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts competition.
This person must die!
Mu Su took a step forward, blocked Ji Gang's gaze from looking at Xue Lu, and said, "I am also Chinese, although there are more than fifty. Brother Ji, are you really planning to stay in the capital?"
Ji Gang nodded heavily: "Only by staying in the capital can we climb up faster. I don't want to waste my time on the frontier. What I want is power."
Mu Su felt a little regretful: "In this case, after passing the news, I requested an order to go to the border."
Ji Gang was a little reluctant to give up and persuaded him to stay: "If you and I stay in the capital, we will definitely achieve great things. I need your strength, so you might as well stay and help me."
Mu Su smiled calmly and looked at Ji Gang without saying anything.
This person doesn't need himself, he just needs a helper, no, a subordinate.
A person who pursues power too much will not remember that his father died under the saber of the Beiyuan cavalry. No matter what, he wants to kill the enemy to serve the country and protect the land that his father protected.
A son inherits his father's legacy and wraps his body in horse leather. This is his life.
Seeing that Mu Su had decided to leave, Ji Gang regretfully said, "I'll see you off when I leave."
Mu Su was very pleased.
Qianhu Geng Wei from Dengzhou Guard had a smile on his face. He was ranked forty-ninth and was considered to be on the list. He didn't know whether to stay in the capital or return to Dengzhou Guard in the future.
Will there be delegations and arrangements from the court?
On top of the Chinese list, there are Qu Yu, Qu Tao, Cai Xiongying, etc. And there were even more people who failed the exam, and for a while, the sadness continued.
At this time, the Ministry of War sent someone to post another announcement.
The content is simple and easy to understand:
If you are not in the Chinese style, the court will appoint you otherwise and you must not leave the capital.
Looking at this mysterious announcement, Xue Lu, Yuan Yue and others all felt something strange. It seemed that from the moment this announcement was posted, the arc of fate had been changed.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Bingzhen, a martial arts examiner from Bozhou, Fengyang, had his head paralyzed due to poisoning and became a vegetative state.
But he was not alone. The security bureau rushed to Bozhou and found Jin Zhong's family members who were imprisoned in his home. The whole process was a bit rough. Lin Bingzhen's father was beaten to death, and several brothers, brothers and servants were also beaten. Paralyzed.
As expected of a martial arts family, it is normal to have some moves when fighting against the Security Bureau...
Lin Zhaoxue is not on the Chinese list. After all, it is Guo Luan who pretended to be her. There is really no way she can be listed on the list. Considering Lin Zhaoxue's experience, character and abilities, Zhu Yunwen gave him a compensation:
Security Bureau Guangxi Branch Hundred Households.
