Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"My lord, be careful! There are assassins!!"

Hearing Shen Ci's shout, Jun Ziyou was full of thoughts about escorting.

As long as Xiao Beicheng's life was saved, even if he wanted to leave the capital, he would not be able to refuse.

In the blink of an eye, Jun Ziyou has already made a decision.

Seeing that the sword of the actor on the stage was close at hand, while Xiao Beicheng was still leisurely sipping tea, Jun Ziyou rushed forward recklessly, and pushed him away.

Just this push is not enough, the sword has no eyes, there is nothing to block it, it will still hurt people anyway, Junziyou hurriedly overturned the tea table, so that Xiao Beicheng, who could deal with assassins with ease, was caught off guard by him and lost his balance , when another table hit him head-on, he couldn't dodge for a while, but he pushed him to the ground.

The assassin felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and immediately changed direction, in order to kill Xiao Beicheng on the spot, but Jun Ziyou threw himself on the man recklessly, putting the assassin in a dilemma.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ci knocked down the murder weapon in the assassin's hand, put his hands behind his back to subdue him, and even tightened his jawbone, fearing that if the assassination failed, the man would be dead.

However, Junziyou missed this wonderful scene, and still clung to Xiao Beicheng's body, shouting "Don't be afraid, my lord! I'll protect you!", but only heard a crisp sound before falling silent.

He looked at the messy mess around him and the stunned people, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, did you hear any broken sounds? The tables, chairs and benches are all in good condition. Where did the strange noise come from..."

Xiao Beicheng couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes and forced himself not to look at that person's angry expression at the moment, gritted his teeth and said: "You, quickly get off my king!"

That crisp sound didn't come from anywhere else, it was Xiao Beicheng's left wrist.

But he didn't say anything at that time. After half an hour, Shenci locked the assassin in the dungeon of the palace, and when he called the doctor to heal the wounds of the two, everyone found the silent Xiao Beicheng's wrists and arms hidden in his sleeves. It's swollen like a carrot.

"My lord, this is terrible. You have been injured for a hundred days, and you have to rest in peace. In these three months, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk the birds."

Although Mrs. Jiang, a famous doctor in the capital, was young, her technique was first-rate. She splinted Xiao Beicheng's injured arm, and the latter tried to move it, which was excruciatingly painful.

The more it hurts, the more angry he is at the chief culprit who caused him such a thing. Xiao Beicheng slapped the table, and wanted to order Shen Ci to send that ignorant gentleman You also to the prison. I'm speechless.

"My lord, I was so angry that I hurt my body. Mister didn't do it on purpose. He was also trying to save you. It's understandable that he lost his temper in a moment of anxiety. It's only because my subordinates didn't do their job well and couldn't find out that the troupe had sneaked in." For those who don’t know the way, the guards have already detained all the guests and actors in Nanfeng Pavilion, and even those young men are under strict supervision.”

Hearing what Shen Ci said, most of Xiao Beicheng's anger subsided, he took a sip of tea to suppress the fire, and ordered him to invite Junziyou in.

As soon as he saw Xiao Beicheng's left arm wrapped three layers inside and outside three layers like a zongzi, Jun Ziyou knew he was in big trouble, and without saying a word, he knelt down, and started to wipe his tears when he became addicted to drama. He didn't pay attention to his poor acting skills, but actually talked about secret matters with Shen Ci in front of him.

"Although what happened this time was expected long ago, I couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that the clues are broken, only the actor who assassinated is left. Let's start with him. As for the guests, they are all young masters. Or local wealthy businessmen who come here just for their reputation, they come to Fireworks and Willow Lane just for fun, and if things go wrong, it will affect their reputation, and it is no good to offend them, just remember that there are a few familiar faces in it, and let them go."

"Yes, how should the actor deal with it?"

"Seeing that he is very skilled, he should have been trained. It is not easy to pry his mouth open. It depends on your ability."

Jun Ziyou quietly hid his hands behind his back, hesitated to speak,

Noticing his subtle movements, Xiao Beicheng winked and asked Dr. Jiang to go to treat him. He didn't find blood in the crevices of his clenched fingers until he pulled out his hand.

No one noticed his actions in the chaos just now. From the current situation, it can be speculated that after Shen Ci shot down the murder weapon of the assassin, Jun Ziyou was afraid that he would hurt someone again, so he hurriedly caught the long sword, even if it was a blade. Those who were going towards him also gritted their teeth and endured it.

If he can act like this, he knows that his intentions to protect the Lord are not false, but he was in a hurry and did something wrong with good intentions, so Xiao Beicheng was not angry, and said duplicity: "I don't even know how to take care of myself, but I want to protect others. .”

Uncharacteristically, Jun Ziyou didn't talk back. He frowned and thought about something. When Dr. Jiang poured clean water on him to wash the wound, he bared his teeth and yelled, "It hurts, it hurts! Ouch, please be gentle..."

"My lord, does it still hurt? My method is the best in the capital. Even the three-year-old child does not cry or fuss when dealing with the wound. Are you too sensitive..."

Xiao Beicheng's movement of drinking tea froze, and he looked at the tearful Junziyou who was about to cry calmly, as if he knew some important details again.

After the wound was bandaged, Jun Ziyou finally stopped making misleading cries, and the people who came to greet him also showed up.

Butler Liu first notified Eunuch Huan Yi from the palace to come to visit. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jun Ziyou kneeling beside him. He understood most of it, and saluted Xiao Beicheng. The latter also bowed his hands stiffly. He purposely let people see clearly his wounded arm.

Seeing that his fingers were swollen badly, Eunuch Huan knew that his injury was real.

"The slave pays homage to King Jin. To be honest, the emperor was restless when he heard the news of your injury. He immediately sent a slave to visit the prince. I don't know the injury of the prince..."

Xiao Beicheng didn't hide it, but seemed calm, "I was injured by an assassin in Nanfeng Pavilion, it doesn't matter, it hurts my muscles and bones, I'll just rest for a while, and I don't have to suffer from flesh and blood injuries."

"What the prince said is true, but the one who suffered flesh and blood injuries was just a servant, how can it compare to your noble body?"

"My father-in-law's words are wrong. Although the status is high or low, the body is indistinguishable. This injury is painful on this king, and it is the same pain on others. It's just that this king should suffer less. His kindness is no less than the sin of being injured."

Eunuch Huan Yi is a smart man. Hearing his words, he knew that the person who saved him had a high status in his heart. He glanced at the inconspicuous Jun Ziyou who was kneeling at the side, and he understood everything.

"My lord is indeed a virtuous and virtuous corporal. To be favored by my lord, Sansheng is lucky."

These words obviously made Junziyou a guest of Prince Jin's mansion, he hurriedly got away before it was too late, and opened his mouth in a hurry, but was glared back by Eunuch Huan's sharp eyes.

This person really turned his face like a book, turning around to look at Xiao Beicheng, with another smile on his face.

"The emperor is very worried. The special servant brought the ointment prepared by the imperial doctor. This pearl ointment is delicate and light in color. It can remove scars when applied on trauma, without leaving any traces. As for this grafting ointment, the medicine is as its name suggests, even withered trees can bloom in spring and grow branches... I wish the prince a speedy recovery. It is getting late, the prince should rest early, and the servants will not bother you."

Xiao Beicheng reported with a smile, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you for your father-in-law's suggestion. Shenci, see off the guests for this king."

Shen Ci responded, and he and Steward Liu sent the group of people from the palace out the door.

After everyone had left and the hall became quiet, Xiao Beicheng let the gentleman swim up.

"Slowly sore knees, you have to kneel for a while later, don't be overwhelmed."

"Ah? Still kneeling?"

Junzi Youguang was about to fall asleep listening to his conversation with Eunuch Huan, and there was another play to be performed, so it would be better to put him in jail.

Xiao Beicheng returned to his seat, drank the last sip of half-warm tea, and Gu Zi lit a cigarette, "You just listened to what Eunuch Huan said just now, he is complaining that the king does not know the importance of things, and missed his job." Good thing."

"He...referring to the emperor?"

"If it is really the Holy One, this king will not tell you clearly that it is true that he was ordered to deliver the medicine, but it is not certain what An's thoughts are."

"Could it be that eunuch made his own decisions?"

"You are new here, so you don't know the situation in the capital. This Eunuch Huan is a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager. He was the one who tampered with the imperial edict during the first emperor's reign and pushed the emperor to the throne. Even the emperor has to give him seven points. Other than the ministers, the lifeblood of Dayuan is in the hands of the Queen Mother and Eunuch Huan, so it can be said that Eunuch Huan and his Second Dongfang Factory are for the Empress Dowager, that's why you and I exist."

Saying that, Xiao Beicheng leaned in front of Junziyou, and before he could breathe out, the latter covered his mouth and nose very consciously, and smiled obsequiously at him.

"It's not me. Without me, my lord, I'm going back to Gusu to teach. This matter has nothing to do with me."

"But Eunuch Huan already knows who you are. If you refuse, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape Dongchang's pursuit when you return to Gusu. At that time, not only you, but also your relatives, friends and students will be implicated. Even Knowing this is the case, do you insist on doing it?"

This time Junziyou stopped talking, even without Xiao Beicheng's reminder, he knew that he would not be able to escape the vortex of the capital after seeing Eunuch Huanyi's vicious look.

But the reality is in front of him, people will have such a pitiful fluke mentality, and just about to speak, new tea is brought up again, blocking his mouth.

"This king is not an unreasonable person. You were brought to the capital by this king, and you are always responsible for your life. It might as well be like this. This king will give you three months. Before this king's injuries heal, you have enough time." Even if you don’t choose me, or you still want to return to Gusu, I will try my best to help you, how about that?”

"There will be no pies in the sky. If the prince does this, he must still have a plan."

"Oh? For example? Are you greedy for your body?"

The gentleman gritted his teeth angrily, wishing he could spray this mouthful of hot tea on his face.

At this moment there were hurried footsteps outside the hall, watching Xiao Beicheng get up and sit back to the previous position, he also knelt on the ground very cooperatively, and swallowed half of the tea in his mouth.

After doing this, I suddenly remembered to ask myself, why did he give Lao Wang such a face?

"My lord, the people from Ding'an Hou's mansion came to visit just now, but were rejected by your subordinates with the excuse that you are resting, and you should come back tomorrow morning."

The person who came back was Shenci, and Xiao Beicheng dumped the shredded tobacco that was still burning in the bucket without raising his head, "If you refuse, you will refuse, and make a fuss in a hurry, you don't usually do things like this."

"That's because... there was another person visiting after the Hou Mansion, and the subordinates let him..."

Only then did Jun Ziyou see the young man in a black cloak behind Shen Ci, with the hood off, revealing a very handsome face.
