After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

Suizhou government.

His Royal Highness King Yu, who was reviewing official documents, heard hurried footsteps outside.

It was Wen Yan who pushed the door and entered: "Your Highness! Mr. Chu went to Yaji today!"

At first glance, it doesn't sound like a big deal, Suizhou is peaceful and rich, and there are gatherings of this size every month.

Huai Zhen closed an official document in his hand, only wondering: "Why didn't he mention it to me?"

Wen Yan: "Young Master Chu went with Miss Chu's family."

Huai Zhen dipped his ink brush, glanced at the flattering words in the official document, and drew a big red cross on it.

"I guess I was taken to play by a girl from the Chu family, why are you panicking?"

"The title of the poem in today's collection is 'King Yu breaks Nanqi'."

Huaizhen paused his cross-drawing hand, looked up at Wen Yan, Wen Yan hurriedly lowered his head, and then dared to continue: "It was written by Zhao Wuzhuan, who is next to Sun Jie, and he also wrote three poems praising virtue on the spot. .”

Huai Zhen's face sank like water.

It is already a big taboo for this kind of elegant gathering to touch political affairs, and they dare to gather together to sing praises, is it because they are afraid that the group of civil servants in Beijing who talk about impeachment every day will not be able to catch Huaizhen? !

Although Huaizhen is a favored prince, in the royal family, the principle of meritorious deeds surpassing the master must be feared even between father and son.

In the past, when Huaizhen pacified the Twelve Parts of the Northern Journey, they kept a low profile and suppressed the popular praises that were easy to get out of control. Now that a small Nanqi has been captured, these people dare to gather crowds to praise them. Do you know that the intention behind this is not to flatter? !

Wen Yan said: "That Zhao Juren even encouraged Chu Shao to write poems."

"What?" Huai Zhen almost broke the ink brush in his hand.

Although Chu Shao's real identity was well concealed, those people knew that Chu Shao had stayed in Qizhou for more than ten years, and even grew up there.

Even if Chu Shao is really a citizen of Zhongqin, he will inevitably feel some affection for his homeland for an old country that has survived for more than ten years. Asking him to write poems praising the destruction of his homeland, his intentions are so vicious that it makes people sick.

What Huaizhen really cares about is another layer: Chu Shao is indeed from Nanqi, he is even the backbone of Nanqi.

Let a general who once swore to defend his country compose a poem to praise the battle that destroyed his mother country, if Chu Shao thinks of everything in the future, remembering that he was designed to compose this kind of poem today...

Huai Zhen wished he could pinch the neck of the questioner - not everyone can bully Chu Qingxu.

"Your Highness, calm down!" Wen Yan hurriedly said, "Young Master Chu is extremely alert, not only did he fail to write a poem to echo him, but he also exposed Zhao Wuzhuan's sinister intentions in public, making this Zhao Ju so angry that he vomited blood on the spot."

"...Oh?" Huaizhen's anger subsided in half in an instant: "Then Chu Shao?"

"Young master Chu is unscathed, and he's still joking with Miss Mingzi."

"...He is smart." It seemed that Chu Shao would only become stupid in front of himself.

"You just said that the person surnamed Zhao is a Juren?"

"Yes, according to what Sun Jie said, this is the number one pick in Chunwei this year."

"Heh, this kind of character is also compatible with Xiao's desire for fame and fortune?" Huai Zhen drew a big red cross on the official document again, "You send someone to the Ministry of Rites to inform and remove Zhao Wuzhuan from the list of candidates. This person will never be allowed to participate in the scientific examination again."

"Yes!"

"Sun Jie is an idiot who doesn't know he's being used. If it's a martial arts competition, Chu Shao's hands..." Huai Zhen had no intention of reviewing official documents, so he got up and said, "I'll go and see this gathering."

-

When Zhao Wubo was carried down, Sun Jie still hadn't recovered.

The people around him reminded him in a low voice: "Master, we still have Hu Hun."

It was only then that Sun Jie remembered that he still had a card in his hand, and he was unable to fight Shi Shi, so he didn't dare to fight anymore.

It was only after he was awakened by Chu Shao's words that he finally realized that he, the son of an important minister, gathers people to talk about the frontline war, and if he is careless, he will burn himself, and even implicate his father's official title.

This Zhao Wubo almost killed him!

But he made a fool of himself, and he was very upset, and always wanted to get it back, so he opened his mouth to expose the scene of fighting poems, saying: "Chu...Chu..."

As soon as Chu Shao's eyes met, Sun Jie couldn't even speak.

"me..."

Sun Jie wished he could slap his stuttering mouth, how could he be so scared by a barbarian from Qizhou! !

Seeing that Mr. Sun couldn't speak well, Hu Hun threw down the jar of wine in his hand, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said in a rough voice: "Since Mr. Chu can live in Nanqi in the old country, the prince will come to rescue him." , presumably the skills are also amazing, why not teach me a thing or two?"

There is a mountain directly opposite Suizhou City, which is located in the middle of the border between Suizhou and Qinjing. In the early years, there was a group of bandits on the mountain. Later, the imperial court recruited them one after another, and Hu Hun was one of them.

It is rumored that at least ten officers and soldiers were killed by his hands. Later, he acted according to the wind and was the first small bandit leader to surrender. Because of his skill, Sun Jie took him by his side and became a thug. He made a confession, and also erased the life debts of the ten officers and soldiers.

Chu Shao didn't know about these things, but Chu Mingzi knew them best.

She hurried up to Chu Shao and protected him behind her. As soon as she got close, the stench mixed with wine on Hu's body made her frown.

She has never been in such close contact with such a vulgar person in her life, and she is a little afraid in her heart, but considering Chu Shao's safety, she still said: "My brother has been weak since he was a child, and he has never practiced martial arts. I am afraid you have heard it wrong. .”

"Miss Chu is modest." The person who spoke was Li Fu, a scholar who was sitting on the second floor of the rockery, "How did I hear that Chu Qingxu is a prodigy with both civil and military skills?"

Chu Mingzi glanced at him: "Who did you hear that from?"

Li Xiucai had a half-smile: "It is said in the scriptures that Chu Shao is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is omnipotent in riding, shooting and equestrian skills. Otherwise, how could we be favored by our prince?"

Chu Mingzi: "Do you also believe the words in the story book?"

Regarding Chu Shao's script, Ning Yuanqiu was ordered by King Yu to spread Chu Qingxu's good name to the outside world at first, and his intention was good.

But in the mouths of the common people, each person passed on a version, and the storyteller saw that the story of "the domineering prince and handsome son" was loved by others, so he continued to add fuel and vinegar to fabricate dozens of versions.

In Ning Yuanqiu's writings, Chu Shao is a handsome young man with a firm mind and a firm mind, but in the eyes of the common people, Chu Qingxu has evolved into an omnipotent god brother who is both civil and military.

Li Xiucai seized on this point and launched an attack: "Of course, the words in the scriptures cannot be fully believed, but there may be some groundless rumors."

He looked at Chu Shao maliciously, "Since Mr. Chu can retreat from the enemy's nest, it would be unreasonable if he doesn't know how to defend himself. I can only guess that he used some other means to protect himself." gone."

As soon as this remark came out, the people below also began to discuss in a low voice.

That's right, if Chu Shao has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he live safely in a hostile country like Nanqi and wait until King Yu comes to rescue him alive?

It is said that he was once trapped in the hands of the Nanqi royal family. The old master Wei Yong was a lecherous person. Could it be that Chu Shao betrayed his body and dignity to survive so far?

Seeing someone agreeing with his guess, Li Xiucai showed complacency, became more courageous, and looked at Chu Shao like an oiran in a brothel. His words were full of naked sarcasm: "Mr. Chu looks like a good girl." , Thinking about it, just one face can make Nanqi's group of savages weak, of course they are reluctant to hurt you."

As soon as the words fell, a stone hit Li Xiucai's mouth directly. After throwing the stone, Chu Mingzi cursed angrily, "Shut up your bastard mouth!!"

Li Xiucai was in pain, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. He immediately grabbed the stone that fell on the table, and threw it back at Chu Mingzi without grace.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chu Shao raised his hand to stop the stone. The stone carried momentum, and the old wrist injury was numb immediately. He suppressed the discomfort and threw the stone on the ground. His hand hidden under his sleeve was already trembling slightly.

Chu Mingzi hurriedly touched his wrist, Chu Shao held her down and comforted her in a low voice: "It's nothing."

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xiucai, and then at Sun Jie. Sun Jie was drinking to suppress his shock, but when Chu Shao glanced over him, he actually choked on it.

Finally, he set his sights on Hu Hun: "I will fight."

"Brother?!" Chu Mingzi was in a hurry. Even if Chu Shao had no hands, how could he beat a bandit like Hu Hun? !

"Don't be afraid." Chu Shao raised his hand and patted Chu Mingzi's back.

If he refuses to fight, he will be burdened with all kinds of unbearable rumors tomorrow.

The reputations of Yu Wangfu and Chu's family are fatal slanders.

Hu Hun laughed three times: "Okay! I respect you for being a man! In order to show justice, I don't use weapons and fight empty-handed. I will let you do three tricks."

Chu Shao tied up his sleeves and said softly, "You don't have to give in, I can still win you."
