It's Shadow Guard and Bai Yueguang [Rebirth]

"I'm overwhelmed, I'll accept such a compliment." After hearing this, Fu Zhen laughed out loud twice.

After laughing, he quickly lowered his voice, put his head close to Fu Shi's ear, and roared in a low voice, "The last person who praised and criticized in secret has been mixed into the feed of the imperial beast. I advise you to speak clearly in the future."

Fu Nian stood motionless, with no expression on his face.

The words that scare people, Fu Nian's ears have been callused since he was a child, and it's all from this man.

But after thinking for a while, Fu Tian felt that he should express some timidity.

"Sounds really scary." Fu Shiyan stated lightly.

"..."

"..." Why did the senior brother stop talking, obviously he pretended to be frightened.

Silent for a long time, Fu Nian thought for a while and said directly that the other party's handwriting was too scribbled for fear of not being able to cooperate in the future, "This subordinate has limited literacy, can I ask an adult to read it for you." After speaking, Fu Nian handed over the stack of prescriptions respectfully with both hands. went back.

"Okay, but add money."

"Okay." Fu Nian didn't object, and readily agreed.

Ever since he was a child, Fu Nian has always found it amazing that no one can understand the characters written by his seniors, but he can read them fluently when he asks his seniors to read them by himself.

Over the years, his appearance, voice, and personality have all changed beyond recognition, but as soon as he saw the handwriting on the paper, Fu Tian confirmed that the person in front of him was indeed his senior brother.

Fu Nian listened to the other party reading the prescription word by word, while trying to find suspicious things.

But after reading the last piece of paper, Fu Yan didn't hear anything suspicious.

King Ze's condition is really just like a medicine jar that has been sickly and weak since childhood, and soaking cold ginseng has also been used as medicine since childhood.

"I've finished reading. Don't charge too much, just add 50 taels of silver."

"En." Fu Nian was thinking about something, and agreed without thinking too much.

Maybe soaked cold ginseng is really only used to cure common old diseases?But it doesn't make sense to collect almost all the soaking cold ginseng in the world into the palace...

After thinking for a long time, Fu Nian decided to jump out of this vicious circle of thinking first.It is not necessarily his benefactor who has been taking soaked cold ginseng for a long time, but other signs should be looked for.

"Thank you." After thinking for a long time, Fu Yan finally thanked, "There is one more thing I want to ask you, I don't know if I should say it."

"Pay off the money this time and bring it up next time." Fu Zhen said without waiting for Fu Nian to speak.

"This subordinate understands." Fu Nian didn't complain about this, but it seemed like spending 50 taels of silver was a waste of money, and he couldn't get any useful information, so he couldn't help feeling distressed, "The book just now... this subordinate is really curious. -"

Before Fu Nian finished speaking, the person in front of him was no longer visible, so he could only sigh.

Maybe it's really a taboo, don't let it go.

After saying goodbye to his senior brother, Fu Nian began to have a headache where to find so much money.

In a short period of time, apart from the martial arts contest on the Ghost Festival, it seems that there is really no legitimate way to find it.

But he really wanted to pay off the money so that he could ask the other party for the next thing.

You must see what the queen who is very affectionate with Chu Chaoyi and has never been out of the palace after her wedding is like.

At present, with the grasping ability of this prosthetic limb, there is no way to sneak in silently. Even if Chu Chaoyi is out of the palace, sneaking in may not be leak-proof.

Full of regret and resignation, plus Fu Yan was used to light sleep, this time he didn't sleep well for several days in a row.

Fortunately, the Hungry Ghost Festival was approaching, and the Holy Grail gave the guards below the second rank an extra two days off.

Today's work ended early, and after the end, Fu Nian was in no hurry to go back. He trotted all the way to the bulletin board and carefully read the content about the martial arts competition on the Ghost Festival.

On-site registration, the rule is to wear a bell on the right shoulder, the bell will be defeated by the person who is shot down first, and the weapons are all wooden soldiers.The venue is the Imperial School Field to the west of the Chengyuan Hall, and you can enter the venue before midnight on the day of the Ghost Festival.

After reading it three times, Fu Nian looked away.

Since it was the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, I didn't write that the busy person would come in person... Fu Nian thought about it, Chu Chaoyi didn't show up a few times during the various activities of the Hungry Ghost Festival in previous years... and the senior brother looked like Nor is it like an idler.Coupled with the unified use of long soldiers, most of the most handy sword techniques in the past must be discarded.

Thinking of this, Fu Nian figured out that money is important.

On the day of the Hungry Ghost Festival, Fu Eryi came to the school early in the morning, asked the judge to sign up, and after receiving the bell and binding thread, he hadn't had time to choose the long soldiers to practice.

"Lian Nian! Didn't you say you wouldn't participate?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Without looking back, Fu Nian knew it was Liandong.

He arrived earlier because he was afraid of embarrassment when he met someone he knew.As a result, by coincidence, he was still caught on the spot.

"Hmm... After thinking about it, there is nothing to do during the Ghost Festival, and there are so many masters in the palace, participation is the most important thing. With this pair of hands, I am lucky if I can win one or two games."

"I knew you would definitely come, I believe in you," Lonicera finished speaking, paused, and hurriedly searched for a sleeve, after searching for a long time, found a sharp-edged stone, "Here, I found it specially in the past few days. The seniors who entered the palace first said that although it is a wooden weapon, sharpening it will help increase the winning rate. The bells on the shoulders are all tied with ropes. It takes a lot of strength to shoot down directly. Sharpen the weapon to fight You can cut the rope."

Fu Nian looked at the stone in Liandong's hand, and although he knew that the other party was kind, he still didn't reach out to take it.

Fighting with ordinary guards face to face, there is no need to use these little tricks.Even if the opponent is holding a real weapon, he is [-]% sure that he will not be hit with bare hands.

"Thank you, but there's no need. It's not very good to play tricks on these things." Fu Tian said tactfully.

"I know you're an upright person, but I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage if everyone cuts wooden weapons like this."

He is upright, this is the first time Fu Nian heard someone describe him like this.

It seems that at present, it is still well hidden among colleagues.

"It doesn't matter, I came to try it out of curiosity. It's normal to win or lose, just follow the fate."

After finishing speaking, Lian Dong curled her lips and threw the stone towards a distant place where no one was there.

"Did you pick it up for me?" Seeing that Liandong threw it so decisively, Fu Yan couldn't help being curious, and asked.

Liandong: "That's right, why not?"

Fu Nian was not in a hurry to answer.

Is there really someone who will take care of him for free?

Fu Nian thought for a while, and he didn't give him any favors, and he didn't have any value for the other party to take advantage of.

"You...why worry about me so much?" Fu Nian asked hesitantly.

Liandong replied without thinking, "You treat me well."

After finishing speaking, Liandong suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered, "Brother Lian, the matter of the floating dagger that day...you deliberately threw the dagger beside me for that Jiang to pick it up, right?"

Fu Nian frowned upon hearing this.

It turns out that Lian Dong knows... He obviously doesn't look very smart on weekdays, and looks weak and easy to bully.

"It's impossible for such a precious thing to appear near me for nothing. I guessed it was you at the time, but you didn't mention it afterwards. I thought you might have something to hide..."

In the past, with such a smart person by his side, Fu Zhan was usually the first to deal with it to prevent future troubles.

"I didn't do such a superfluous thing." After thinking for a while, Fu Yan flatly denied, "I didn't help you at all."

"That's just as if I guessed wrong." Seeing that Fu Nian didn't admit it, Liandong didn't ask any more questions, and raised her head consciously and took a few steps back, "Brother Lian continues to prepare, I'll go over there to rest first!"

Fu Nian didn't answer, and watched Liandong run away.

From the very beginning, Fu Nian didn't expect the frivolous dagger to be covered up perfectly, but Ren Dong knew the truth, could endure not to tell anyone, and repayed his kindness, Fu Nian never thought of.

Fu Nian turned his head and looked at Liandong, who was already mixed in the crowd, and was playing with a few of his peers.

Since he suffered the loss of not raising people who were loyal to him in his previous life, Fu Nian should try his best to avoid repeating the same mistakes in this life.

"Next, Lian Nian! Feng Dashan!"

Fu Nian was practicing his sword skills when he suddenly heard the judge on the ring shout his name.

He stabilized the bell on his shoulder, and walked up steadily.

The man on the opposite side was much taller than him. Fu Nian took the long soldier used in the competition, and after saluting each other, Fu Nian quietly waited for the judge's order.

"Chong!"

The moment the gongs and drums sounded, Fu Nian grabbed the front half of the long soldier and hit the opponent like a short soldier.

Just now Fu Nian observed for a long time off the court. Everyone holds the long pistol at the end or in the middle. Few like him directly hold the front end and use it as a short knife.

When receiving the move for the first time, Fu Nian roughly judged the opponent's strength.

Mere bodyguards.

For the next blow, Fu Nian hit the bell on the opponent's shoulder with all his might.He just knocked down the bell on his shoulder to the ground with brute force.

When the gongs and drums sounded again, Fu Niancai put down the long soldier in his hand and straightened his clothes.

"Lian Niansheng!" the judge finished, followed by loud applause.

Fu Nian didn't respond, took back his badge, and walked off the ring.

The same is true for subsequent episodes.

"Lian Nian wins!"

"Lian Nian wins!"

"Lian Niansheng..."

"Nian Sheng..."

"Victory..."

When there were only eight people left, the judge announced a short intermission.

Fu Nian didn't talk to anyone, and sat down in a corner under the arena, quietly waiting for the show to start again.

"Lian-read-"

After sitting for a while, Fu Nian raised his head when he heard the sound.

"How did you come?"

"Here! I picked up the sharp stone again at the beginning, and exchanged it for a bag of sour plum soup. It's so sweet."

Immediately afterwards, Fu Nian saw a water bag across in front of him.

"Thank you for your kindness." Fu Nian was still instinctively wary of unfamiliar food, so he had to find an excuse, "Sweet and greasy food is easy to make your throat hurt, and you will continue to compete later, drink after the competition..."

"That's right." Lian Dong didn't suspect anything, took the water bag back, and drank a few sips on his own, "I will try to save a few sips for you, it's so delicious."

After drinking the sour plum soup, Lian Dong continued, "By the way, listen to them and His Majesty will come to watch the game later."

Fu Nian's heart sank.

This year's Hungry Ghost Festival, Chu Chaoyi was very free...

I knew that I should have caused some trouble a few days ago, so I tried my best to keep Chu Chaoyi busy.

Just as Liandong finished speaking, before Fu Nian had time to answer, he saw seven other contestants walking towards him in a group.

However, they behave submissively, pushing and shoving each other, wanting to approach Fu Nian but dare not.

"What's the matter?" Fu Nian noticed the abnormality on their side, and he greeted them after nodding with Liandong.

After speaking, Fu Tian felt that they seemed to be even more afraid.

It was only now that Fu Nianzhe remembered that his face was quite fierce.

Although the sutured scars on his face have healed in sevens and eighties, the sharpness in his eyebrows and eyes will not become milder with time.

"You guys... what's the matter?" Fu Yan tried to soften his voice and asked again.

"That, you are Lian Nian, right?"

"Correct."

"Later...you won't fight back until we're in line. Can you share the bonus with us for a total of two or two taels of gold? Later, His Majesty will come to watch the game, and we've seen your strength for all to see. We don't want to be special in front of His Majesty. Embarrassed." After one of the men finished speaking, he glanced guiltyly at his colleague not far away who had just been beaten by Fu Nian and couldn't even stand upright.

Chu Chaoyi will come later...

Fu Nian was still worrying about how to hide his tactics.

Unexpectedly, the other party came to the door first.

"Okay, I promise you all." After thinking for a moment, Fu Nian readily agreed, "After the matter is completed, each of you will get a tael of gold. But let's make it clear first, turn the bell loose before going on stage, I want a quick victory."

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian felt Liandong tugging at his clothes.

"Okay, okay, listen to you. Please be merciful when the time comes."

"En." Fu Nian responded, indicating that he heard it, and then turned his head to look at Liandong, "What's wrong?"

Liandong was puzzled, and asked anxiously, "Brother Lian, why did you agree to them? You...you can beat them and get all the bonuses."

Fu Twenty: "I'm tired. I don't want to fight. Why do I have to do it myself if I can spend money to solve it."

"But seven taels of gold is not a lot."

"Yes." Fu Nian did not refute.

Indeed, his hands and feet were broken, and the compensation was almost twice as much as seven taels of gold.

This time the other party just begged him not to hit him so hard, and seven taels of gold went out.

Fu Nian also felt that it was not worth it, but after thinking about it, if he didn't expose his real martial arts in front of Chu Chaoyi, seven taels of gold would be a good deal.

"..." Liandong wanted to say something more, but seeing Fu Yanyi's indifferent expression, he didn't say a word in the end.

Fu Nian closed his eyes and meditated.

Getting up early is really sleepy, I will get the bonus later, and pay off the brother's debt, go back to sleep.

Chu Chaoyi didn't go out of the palace to go to the ancestral hall today, so there is a high probability that he won't have the chance to sneak into the Chengyuan Hall.

He was closing his eyes and resting his mind when Fu Nian suddenly heard the voices of the crowd.

"Long live Your Majesty, the dragon body is safe..."

There was a long line of Fu Nian in the back who was too lazy to listen, but still opened his eyes, and found that Lian Dong was also kneeling on the ground, kowtowing in the direction of Zhengnan.

Chu Chaoyi is here...

Fu Nian just closed his eyes and didn't see at all.

Before he got up, he was stopped by Lian Dong, "It's okay, brother, your Majesty is blocked by a ring at this angle, and they can't see you, so they didn't disturb your sleep, and didn't ask you to get up and salute."

Fu Twenty: ...

Indeed, the height of the ring is completely high enough to cover his body.

Thinking of this, Fu Tian felt relieved and continued to close his eyes to rest.

After hearing Eunuch Li ordering everyone to get up, the judge immediately called eight of them to draw lots and prepare for the rest of the round.

According to the agreement, the last one will fight Fu Nian for a little longer.

"The last two left, please." The judge looked at the two remaining people on the field and said.

After Fu Nian and the other party saluted each other, they took up short arms.

During the fight this time, Fu Nian clearly felt that the opponent did not abide by the agreement, and deliberately let him win.

Fu Nianzao had expected that someone might backtrack, and in the final game, he suddenly changed his mind and tried to steal all the prize money without letting go.

Did not expect to be exposed so quickly.

Fu Nian didn't say a word, but the opponent made a move and avoided it, and didn't fight back, but he definitely didn't give the opponent a chance to hit.

"Eunuch Li, is this Lian Nian who was crushed by a carriage last time?" Sitting on the high platform, Chu Chaoyi watched the fight on the ring, and suddenly asked, "It's the one next to King Xi."

"That's right. This is the guard you appointed to enter the palace, Lian Nian." Eunuch Li replied quickly.

After watching for a while, Chu Chaoyi finally said, "Just now I saw his fighting skills are very ordinary. This time he didn't fight back, how did he make it to the last round?"

Eunuch Li is in trouble, "I don't even know about it."

The man in the dragon robe didn't speak, and continued to watch the "grand occasion" on the ring.

One side attacked fiercely, while the other side did not fight back, it was quick to dodge.

This kind of rogue-style fighting makes me angry when I look at it.

After watching for a few minutes, the more he watched, the more angry he became, Chu Chaoyi stopped paying attention to the situation on the ring.I just picked up the teacup and wanted to drink some tea to relieve the heat.

Unexpectedly, when he picked up the cup, before he could drink the tea, he heard the judge shout, "Lian Niansheng!"

He hurriedly dropped the teacup, only to see that the side that had been attacking just now suddenly fell to the ground, not to mention the bell was gone, there was a piece of flesh missing from his shoulder, and blood gushed out uncontrollably.

But in a split second, what happened...

"Eunuch Li, how did Lian Nian turn the situation around in an instant?"

"The servant didn't see clearly either."

Chu Chaoyi frowned even more, dragged his head, and looked at the situation on the ring in puzzlement.

The winning side didn't feel any emotion, just wiped the blood on the wristband without saying a word.After wiping the wristband, he changed to another veil to wipe the blood on his face.

"Go and tell the judge to re-bet a hundred taels of gold. Let Chu Yao go up and fight with him. This time, I want to see how this strange man makes moves."

"Chu Yao!" After speaking, Chu Chaoyi shouted, and blew the jade whistle on his finger again.

In a few seconds, Chu Yao landed on the nearby ground, turned his head over, and waited for orders.

Chu Chaoyi ordered a few words, seeing Chu Yao frowned, "Why, don't you want to?"

"This, but you don't think his hands and feet look like—"

"Do you need to remind me?"

Chu Yao shut up.But reluctance was written all over his face.

"If you can win Lian Nian, the badge and official seal of the Great Shadow Guard will be awarded to you. The things you did in the past, I just pretend that they never happened. The last time you lost the floating light dagger and deducted the case silver, It's also written off." Chu Chao said coldly, "If you don't want to—"

"Subordinates take orders!"
