The general is always teased

The competition didn't start until three quarters later, but before that time, chariots and horses began to gallop into the competition venue one after another.

Soon, the princes, ministers, wives and ladies who came out of the carriage filled the stands.

The annual exam of Guozijian is full of excitement every time. Not only civil and military officials will come to see it, but even the ladies of the palace who are raised in the boudoir on weekdays will go out in front of their mothers. Accompanied by, come and watch.

The competition in the afternoon was about riding and fighting. Shen Yijin was not good at it, so she didn't sign up and didn't need to play.

The Imperial Academy has a stand specially prepared for the students in the academy. Shen Yijin sat there at first, but when Shi Nanyue came later, he brought him directly to his side.

All the officials present were not lacking in eyeliner, they could know every bit of the wind in the capital, and some things were not deliberately concealed, the common people saw it in their eyes, and used it as a chat after dinner, so that it was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, Soon everyone will know.

The relationship between Shen Yijin and Shi Nanyue is like this.

When Shen Yijin was injured before, Shi Nanyue was so angry that he offended many officials for Shen Yijin's sake, and even drove Zhao Lang, who had regarded him as his elder brother since childhood, out of the mansion.

All the officials present were aware of this, so seeing Shi Nanyue's behavior at the moment, they didn't express anything, but what they thought and looked at, there were many twists and turns.

However, Shi Nanyue never cared about other people's gazes, so he would not take them seriously, and since Shen Yijin knew that she liked Shi Nanyue, she had already prepared her heart, so others would not look surprised or contemptuously. affect him.

Three quarters later, the competition officially began.

There are a total of 60 people who signed up for this competition, and each group of six people is a group. The rule is: six people ride on the horse respectively, and when the horse is running, they shoot at the archery target placed [-] meters away. Each person has a total of ten arrows. Whoever hits more bullseye wins.

In the group that appeared first, there was Qin Mu, the legitimate son of Prime Minister Zuo.

Qin Mu's elder brother is a lieutenant of the Imperial Army. He grew up with his elder brother in the military camp. He is the best at riding and shooting.

And today's competition happened to be what he was good at, so he won the first place in the first group very easily.

Next, the second group, the third group, the fourth group, and the fifth group all decided their rankings.

However, when the sixth group played, an accident happened.

When it was the sixth group's turn to start the competition, a strange fragrance came from nowhere. The fragrance was so strong that many people couldn't help sneezing, frowned, and covered their mouths and noses with their hands.

While everyone's attention was on Yixiang, after the six students who participated in the competition got on their horses, they suddenly grabbed the arrow feathers, drew their bows, and shot towards the emperor and the stands.

The blows of these six students were like a signal, and then, the other [-] or so students who hadn't played yet all of a sudden rushed to the stands, and shot at the ministers who were hiding everywhere.

After that, the students who had already finished the competition, as well as those who were sitting in the stands watching the competition, all went crazy.

For some unknown reason, these students became restless and frantic. Their eyes were red, their relatives were denied, they forgot where they were, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Regardless of whether they know martial arts or not, and whether they will be injured or not, they don't care about it at all, they just focus on hurting people, as if trapped in a succubus, with enemies in front of them, only the instinct to kill.

Only Qin Mu was still very conscious and was not affected in any way.

After reacting, he acted quickly and knocked out many crazy students with his own strength.

But Qin Mu was alone and couldn't stop everyone. Many students rushed to the stands and beat the officials.

Many of the ministers who came to watch the competition were civil servants, and they had no strength to restrain them. How could they be the opponents of these strong and strong students, but after a while, many ministers were injured or injured.

All of a sudden, princes, ministers, wives and ladies fled in all directions, and there were screams, noises, and cries for help, one after another, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Shi Nanyue immediately stood in front of Zhao Yin, blocked the arrow feathers for him, and captured several students who wanted to attack Zhao Yin, knocked them unconscious, and sent old man Lin to come over for treatment.

Shi Nanyue and King Yu looked at each other, and they both understood that this was Rong Xiucheng's strategy, wanting to cause chaos and create opportunities to take Zhao Rong away.

Because once someone hurts an official, or even wants to assassinate the emperor, all the imperial guards will be rushed to the Guozijian to protect the emperor and suppress the chaos.

In this way, the guards in the capital will be weakened. Once the guards are weakened, it will be much easier for Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong to leave if they want to leave.

However, Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong's plan is doomed to fail.

Rong Xiucheng's strategy, including how to create chaos and when to take Zhao Rong away, Shi Nanyue and the others knew all about it a month ago, and they were prepared accordingly.

Old man Lin and several imperial doctors present came to prevent the chaos from spreading.

Outside the Northwest Prince's Mansion, He Zhang and Luo Zhengqing had already brought a thousand Imperial Guards to completely surround it, making it difficult to fly even with wings.

Old man Lin knelt down to check the pulse of the students who passed out, and looked at their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and soon he knew it.

After clapping his hands, Old Man Lin stood up. He said to Shi Nanyue: "These students have all been poisoned by the same poison. This poison is a chronic poison. It is colorless and tasteless. When the dose is small, silver needles cannot be used. It was detected. The person who poisoned should have put the poison in the meals provided to the students every day, and the dose was not much, so it has not been discovered."

"If there is only one kind of this kind of poison, it will not do much harm to people, but if you add a scent of poppy flowers as a medicine, it will instantly become highly poisonous, making people fall into hallucinations, and only listen to the instructions of the people in their illusion. If that People want them to kill, then they will turn into killing weapons, and they will not stop until they kill all the "enemies" they think, and in the end, they themselves will die of poison."

Old man Lin squinted his eyes, stroked his beard again, and continued: "The sudden smell just now was the fragrance of poppies. The fragrance can be so strong, there should be a large field of poppies nearby, and someone deliberately burned it. If you kill them and spread the fragrance, you may be able to find them by sending someone to search nearby."

Shi Nanyue frowned and asked: "Since it was caused by poisoning, is there a way to detoxify it? It can make them wake up as soon as possible."

"Yes." Old man Lin nodded, and said eloquently, "All it takes is rain or a gust of wind to dissipate the rich fragrance of poppies. When the fragrance of flowers dissipates, the students who have fallen into hallucinations will naturally be able to slowly To recover, it’s just that the poison they have suffered requires another medicine to cure it, and the medicine is easy to make, and the imperial doctors in the palace can cure it.”

Hearing this, Shi Nanyue came up with a solution as soon as he thought about it. He thanked old man Lin, and then found the commander of the imperial guards, and ordered him to let some of the imperial guards fetch water, then sprinkle water in the air, and at the same time let He sent another team to look for poppy fields nearby.

Now that he found out the problem of the collective madness of the students in the Imperial College, Shi Nanyue also went to help. He arranged several generals under his command to protect Zhao Yin, and arranged Shen Yijin and Lin Yan in the protection circle.

Zhao Yin looked at it, and didn't stop him, but just nodded slightly, as a sign of agreement.

Before leaving, Shi Nanyue shook Shen Yijin's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "You and Dr. Xiaolin stay here well, and nothing will happen."

Shen Yijin held his hand back, the worry in her eyes was palpable: "Brother Shi, you have to be careful."

"I will, Xiao Jin, don't worry." Shi Nanyue gave him a gentle smile and nodded.

At this moment, the stands not far away were already in chaos. Officials were running, injured and wailing.

Shi Nanyue didn't wait any longer, and after smiling at Shen Yijin again, he let go of his hand, and jumped towards the most chaotic place together with King Yu.

After a cup of tea, the imperial guards began to pour water on the ground and into the air according to Shi Nanyue's instructions.

At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that there were many generals and hidden guards standing on the surrounding top floors at some point, and at the same time they stimulated their internal strength, and they forced a gust of wind.

The rich fragrance of flowers in the air gradually faded away, and finally, there was only a little smell left, but when the wind blew, it didn't know where it went.

After that, another two quarters of an hour passed.

The students who had fallen into hallucinations gradually regained consciousness, and then passed out on the ground as if they were exhausted.

The imperial guards who went out to look for the poppy field escorted the disgraced Zhu Yan over half an hour later.

According to Shi Nanyue's instructions, they searched around the vicinity, and soon found a house. When they broke in, the house was all stunned and unconscious. In the field of poppies, Zhu Yan was holding a torch, To burn the poppies.

That family was originally from a family of medicine, and they planted a large field of poppies in the back garden, which was intended to be used for medicine, but Rong Xiucheng knew about it somehow, and insisted on turning it into a part of the plan.

At this time, Zhu Yan was covered in mud, his face was pale, and he was tied up and knelt in front of Zhao Yin. He was very embarrassed, and he didn't have the high-spirited and high-spirited appearance before.

He kept his head down all the time, never daring to look at Shen Yijin, maybe it was at this moment that he finally repented, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Zhu Yan quickly pleaded guilty and admitted that he was responsible for the poisoning of the students. At the same time, he recruited several other companions.

Soon, several people he recruited were also arrested.

One of them was also the teacher of the Imperial Academy.

So far, in the Guozijian, all Zhao Rong's men and horses were arrested, and Zhao Yin handed them all over to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to deal with them, and the death penalty was inevitable.

—

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At this time, outside the Northwest Palace.

He Zhang and Luo Zhengqing hid in the dark with their troops, observing the situation in the palace.

When Shi Nanyue came from the Imperial College, there was no movement in the Northwest Palace.

He Zhang bowed to Shi Nanyue, thought for a while, and then asked: "General, do you think Rong Xiucheng and the Northwest King will be fooled?"

They have already done their tricks and transferred all the imperial guards patrolling the capital, and let them all hide in the dark and wait for the opportunity to move, leaving only a small part. It seems that the guards are very lax.

Shi Nanyue nodded and said: "Yes. Rong Xiucheng is an extremely conceited person, his eyes are high above the top, and he will never believe that his carefully planned schemes will be known to us. Now we see that the number of guards patrolling the streets has decreased, and the population of the people has decreased. According to word of mouth, the chaos in the Guozijian will definitely be considered a success, and then they will follow the original plan to take Zhao Rong out of the city."

He Zhang nodded knowingly.

Just at this time, a car and horses suddenly came in front of the Northwest Palace, and then two men dressed in short shirts got out of the car and appeared at the gate of the Northwest Palace.

Shi Nanyue looked at one of the men and said firmly, "It's Rong Xiucheng."

"General, who is it?" He Zhang looked excited, he pinched Luo Zhengqing's arm, eager to rush out.

Luo Zhengqing pinched his left cheek and reminded him: "You can't go out yet."

He Zhang smiled and put his right cheek closer together, "I won't go in, but I'm a little excited."

Luo Zhengqing looked at He Zhang dotingly, smiled, and pinched his right cheek.

Shi Nanyue watched Rong Xiucheng deal with the guards at the gate for a while, then got into the car again, and drove to the side gate, and then ordered: "He Zhang, you and Zheng Qing take 500 people to the side gate, and watch this car, if I'm not mistaken, , Rong Xiucheng is definitely going to take advantage of the opportunity of delivering food to exchange Zhao Rong, and then take the opportunity to leave."

"Yes." Luo Zhengqing and He Zhang responded at the same time.

Just as Shi Nanyue expected, Rong Xiucheng did have the same idea.

Every few days in the Northwest Palace there will be a special person to deliver vegetables, and today is just the appointed time, Rong Xiucheng knocked out the two farmers who originally delivered the vegetables, disguised himself as them, and wanted to take this opportunity to enter Wangfu, replace Zhao Rong again.

After helping Zhao Rong change his face, Rong Xiucheng took Zhao Rong back to the kitchen. He told Zhao Rong to hide aside, and then gave the subordinate who came with him a wink. At that time, the person had been replaced by Zhao Rong.

Unknowingly, no one noticed.

After a cup of tea, Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong came out from the side door again, ready to leave the city.

But as soon as they went out, they met He Zhang, Luo Zhengqing, and five hundred soldiers standing behind them.

Counted!

Zhao Rong's face was ugly.

It's pointless to blame anyone at this time.

Seeing that the strategy had been exposed, Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong didn't hide it at all, and the helpers who had been hiding in the dark before jumped out one after another at this time.

A total of more than a dozen people, they tried to unite the strength of the crowd to break out of the encirclement.

The martial arts of these dozen people are not low, and they tried their best to fight a way for Zhao Rong to escape, but before Zhao Rong left, Shi Nanyue led another five hundred soldiers, from the front Outflanked them and immediately surrounded them all.

At this time, more than half of the dozen or so people had been killed or injured, and the rest were also exhausted.

With no way to recover, they lost.

Rong Xiucheng and Zhao Rong were captured alive.

When he was taken into the prison, although Zhao Rong's face was ugly, he didn't have the slightest fear.

Zhao Rong knew that he still had bargaining chips in his hands, and he could negotiate with Zhao Yin.

According to the itinerary, his 5 troops should be not far from the capital now, if Zhao Yin killed him at this time, without his order, the [-] troops would directly break through the city gate and reach the palace.

The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses are now Zhao Rong's life-saving talisman. Zhao Rong believes that as long as Zhao Yin has not found a solution, he will not dare to kill him easily.

Unfortunately this time, Zhao Rong is destined to be disappointed.

He absolutely shouldn't, and put his mind on Lin Yan.

Before old man Lin went into seclusion, even though he had a strange personality and offended some people, his medical skills were superb, and many people were rescued.

Because of this, he made friends with many people in the world.

Not necessarily friends, but those who can make Old Man Lin make a move must also default to Old Man Lin's favor.

Although old man Lin has never used these favors for so many years, and never mentioned them, but this time is different, Zhao Rong really provoked him.

First Shen Yijin, then Lin Yan.

Whoever is in charge in the world is nothing to old man Lin, he doesn't care, but old man Lin protects his weaknesses to the extreme, Zhao Rong has attacked the people he cares about most, he really can't bear it.

A month ago, he wrote several letters and sent them to several important sects in Jianghu.

And a few days ago, several sects had already sent people here one after another, adding up to a thousand people, and all of them were masters.

Shi Nanyue arranged them all in Huai City.

Huaicheng is the only way to go to the capital. Zhao Rong's soldiers and horses must pass through Huaicheng if they want to enter the capital, unless they are willing to spend another half month to detour Huacheng to enter the capital, but Shi Nanyue is sure, absolutely not .

It would take too much time to bypass Hwaseong and enter Beijing, and Hwaseong is more prosperous and lively than Huaicheng, passing through there would be a greater risk of exposure.

Shi Nanyue's guess was right. Rong Xiucheng did leave Huaicheng after thinking about it, but the [-] troops wanted to hide it from the guards of the states.

It is not easy to travel thousands of miles from the northwest to the capital, and it is almost impossible to arrive at the capital at the same time.

In desperation, Rong Xiucheng had no choice but to go ahead and order 5 people to follow up.

This also gave Shi Nanyue and the others a chance to successfully intercept the [-] army.

The thousand people from the rivers and lakes that old man Lin invited in a few letters successfully stopped Zhao Rong's 5 horses from continuing to move outside Huaicheng.

Together with the defenders of Huai City, they delayed for two full days when the enemy was outnumbered, until Shi Nanyue led [-] elite soldiers dispatched from the nearest barracks to arrive in person.

There is no suspense in this battle.

However, on the seventh day, Zhao Rong's 5 horsemen were defeated by Shi Nanyue, and the leading generals were all captured. In the early morning, the white flag was raised to declare surrender.

On the same day, both Zhao Rong and Rong Xiucheng were dragged to the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display.

The former followers of Zhao Rong were also pulled out one by one after this incident, and they were sentenced according to the severity of the case, beheaded, exiled, or demoted to common people, with no possibility of becoming an official.

All of a sudden, hundreds of civil and military officials were involved.

After Zhao Rong's rebellion, Chao Zhongwen Wu once again reshuffled the cards. Many important positions were replaced by Zhao Yin's own confidantes. The young emperor dared not have another heart.

So far, under Zhao Yin's rectification, the chaotic Chao Gang gradually recovered and flourished.

—

Chang'an Avenue, the General's Mansion.

Shi Nanyue got off his horse and didn't care that he was dressed in a military uniform, and he went straight to the young man who was waiting for him with a smile not far away.

Hugging him into his arms forcefully, Shi Nanyue said, "Xiao Jin, I'm back."

Shen Yijin raised her head and showed her face to him, "Well, I know, welcome home."

The two looked at each other for a long time, then kissed again.

At this time, the sunshine was just right, pouring down, dispelling all the severe cold, and everything in the world, the prosperity and beauty, were not as good as each other in their eyes.

Thank you God for allowing us to meet each other.
