After I feel sorry for the cannon fodder prince, I wear a book

In the sixth year of Kangzheng, the eleventh day of the second lunar month.

With Xiao Zhengze leaving the palace, Yu Shu's forces buried in the court began to move one after another. He tried several times to find out who was behind the scenes, but all ended in failure.

Early this morning, Liang Chu, the son of Liang Zerui, Minister of the Ministry of War, claimed that he had seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince meet Ah Zhi, a woman from Huayulou, six days ago. The two talked for a long time and returned late at night.

The emperor was suspicious and asked Zhou Keming, the Minister of Dali Temple.

Zhou Keming made it clear that there was such a thing, and reported the results of several days of investigation.

On February [-]th, Zhou Keming took people to Leng's house, and Leng Dazhi testified that a man with a scar had bought Leng Zhi.

That afternoon, Leng Dazhi was killed, and Leng Shao, the daughter of the Leng family, disappeared.

On February [-]th, a sachet was sorted out from the wreckage of the Huayulou explosion, and it was found to belong to the third prince.

Everyone talked a lot, Yu Shu was shocked, and it was too late to explain, Zhou Keming immediately brought an old man in the palace who was with the concubine Xiang.

When the old eunuch saw Yu Yinjiang, he knelt down and cried that Concubine Xiang was murdered by the prince. Azhi and Concubine Xiang had a deep relationship, but they never knew about it.

Six days ago, Ah Zhi found him and said that a man with extremely fierce appearance had a way to avenge the concubine Xiang.

Yu Yinjiang was furious, and ordered Yu Shu to be confined in the mansion, and ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. If it was true, please send it to the clan's mansion, and severely punish those who interfered with the case.

The faction of the three princes suffered a tragic blow, and stayed in dormancy with the court, looking for a turning point, until today.

*****

Holding the letter in one hand and the hilt of his sword in the other, Xiao Tan stood at the gate of the imperial army for nearly an hour.

The person who went in to report seemed to have disappeared, and there was no movement for a long time.

Xiao Qin was not in a hurry, tapped his fingers on the scabbard, thinking about the various changes that had taken place in the court and in the palace over the past few days.

too fast.

But for a few days and nights, the situation in the court turned upside down, unlike before.

His Majesty the Third Highness, who was originally infinitely beautiful, was confined in the mansion, and it was difficult to speak and suffer, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to regain Yu Yinjiang's trust.

But Prince Duan's Mansion is very peaceful.

The servants are all human beings. Seeing that the atmosphere in the master's house is not right, and hearing that the outside world has changed, they have not dared to laugh and fight for days. The owner is to blame.

Yu Yi has been busy these few days.Xiao Qin wanted to talk to him, but he couldn't find the opportunity.

He locked himself in the study room, saying that he was planning to replace Yu Shu's power in the court, and he didn't close his eyes for a few days and nights, and even brought Yue Yang to suffer along with him.

Xiao Tan visited several times, and every time he went in, Yu Yi concentrated on what she was doing, either talking to Yue Yang, or reading the news just sent in.

In short, it was completely assumed that Xiao Tan did not exist.

Xiao Tan had no choice but to remind Duan Fangzhu to keep an eye on him, no matter how busy he was with his business, it would not hurt his body.

Most of the time the two are busy with each other.

Xiao Qin got up in the middle of the night and went to practice swords in the woods outside the city.

After all, he is not the original owner himself, and he is not very familiar with this martial art, so he still needs to practice it to be sure.

However, after a few days of practice, the effect was unexpectedly good. At first, it was a bit jerky, but after practicing, it felt like flowing water, advancing and retreating freely.

When returning home at noon, most of Yu Yi had just finished talking with Yue Yang, and was about to go out to meet a few court ministers, and the two often met each other before passing by.

Xiao Qin ate at the mansion and went to the teahouse to listen to people's speeches in the afternoon.

This teahouse is unusual, it happens to be on the same street as the bombed Huayulou, and there are regular customers coming and going.

The news of the prince's injury had already spread, and there was a lot of discussion in the capital.And no matter how the government banned them, they couldn't find someone to keep an eye on these ordinary people all the time. Some true and false remarks just fell into Xiao Tan's ears.

He wrote down everything that was somewhat credible, and was going to ask Yue Yang to check it out when he was free.

As for Yu Yi, Xiao Qin didn't plan to talk about it.

If Yue Yang knew it, he would naturally know it too.

Coincidentally, when Xiao Qin went out this morning, Yu Yi happened to open the door too.

The two rooms are next to each other, and it stands to reason that they can hear most of the noise when they walk at night, but Xiao Qin has never heard any noise from the next door.

Yu Yi straightened her collar and was slightly startled when she saw Xiao Qin wearing a sword on her waist. She subconsciously asked, "Father sent the letter?"

Xiao Tan remained silent and showed him the letter in his hand.

Yu Yi took it and flipped through it, seeing that they were all clichés, she didn't say any more, and walked out with Yue Yang.

He didn't close his eyes for several days in a row, and it was difficult for him to sit in a wheelchair when he went out to meet people. He was really tired, and he only hoped that Dali Temple could gain some momentum and deal with Yu Shu earlier, so that he could have a few days free.

As for who the person behind the scenes is and what the Queen wants to do, he has no clue now.

Yu Yi took big strides, walking with the wind, he didn't look like a sick person, Yue Yang walked at the usual frequency, and was left behind by him when he didn't pay attention.

"Your Highness—"

"Follow!"

Standing on the steps, Xiao Tan watched Yu Yi walk faster and further away, feeling unsure of what to feel.

Since that night, this person seems to have been intentionally or unintentionally... hiding from himself.

"Hey, you, my lord told you to go in."

The person who went in to report finally came out. Xiao Qin was thinking about something, but he didn't recover after the person called for a long time.

"You fucking—"

The guard cursed, and when he came over, he wanted to grab his collar.

Xiao Qin flashed subconsciously, and turned his palm into a knife. He was about to hit this man's back before realizing that he was at the gate of the Forbidden Army.

His falling right hand took advantage of the situation and helped him up.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Xiao Tan acted unintentionally.

"You kid—"

"Don't dawdle! My lord should be in a hurry." Another guard poked his head out from the door, looking at this side and said.

At first, the man cursed secretly, gave Xiao Qin a hard look, and led him to the training ground.

It looks like a little boy, and I don't know which family is related to it, but it was stuffed into their forbidden army.

"Let me tell you! We are not easy to mess around here. If you are capable, you are your father. If you are not, you are your son!" He was upset and wanted to scare Xiao Tan with a few words.

Xiao Tan pretended he didn't hear it. He didn't come to the Imperial Army to "fuck" something.

As long as he can be on duty in front of the emperor at the emperor's birthday banquet in a month's time, everything else doesn't matter.

"Here we come." Ye Zhiqiu was watching the training of the Imperial Army on the school grounds, when he saw Xiao Tan approaching, he turned his head and greeted him.

"My lord," Xiao Qin nodded gently, causing everyone to look at him with curiosity or disdain.

"Come with me," Ye Zhiqiu told the adjutant to keep an eye on him, and he led Xiao Tan into the study.

"Mr. Xiao, why didn't you tell the people who you are?" Ye Zhiqiu poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qin himself. "They are all rough people, and they don't speak well. You don't have to worry about it, sir."

Xiao Tan thanked Ye Zhiqiu first, then shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I don't intend to reveal my identity for the time being, so naturally I won't care about unintentional words."

"Oh?" Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised, "Could it be that the young master plans to train with ordinary soldiers?"

"Exactly." Xiao Qin smiled slightly.

Ye Zhiqiu searched his face, wanting to know whether Xiao Qin was serious or just acting.

Xiao Qin calmly let him look at him.

After a long while, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "If I really promise you, I'm afraid Gui Si will be angry."

He and Yu Yi grew up together, and they had a close friendship. Before Xiao Qin entered the mansion, the two often went out to drink.

"Your Highness won't." Xiao Qin seemed a little apologetic, "Xiao Qin was afraid of causing trouble to the adults, and His Highness will blame him when he goes back."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head with a wry smile.

"The eldest son is really joking, since His Majesty bestowed the marriage, Gui Sike has never gone out with friends like us."

He sighed, stood up and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, if you meet someone who really doesn't have eyes, you can just come to me."

Xiao Qin quickly thanked her.

Seeing this, Ye Zhiqiu said: "Your Majesty called me to do something, I have to go to the palace right now, Mr. Xiao just go to the school grounds, there will be a teacher to meet you."

Xiao Qin nodded, got up to send Ye Zhiqiu out, and stood there watching him go away.

Yu Yi's childhood sweetheart, Ye Zhiqiu, has many unexplainable doubts about him.

Xiao Qin walked towards the martial arts arena while recalling the plot in the book.

In the storybook, Ye Zhiqiu appeared late, probably in the middle of the story. Xiao Qinshu didn't read it halfway through, so he didn't know what happened to Ye Zhiqiu and what he did before.

"Boy!"

Someone is calling him.

Xiao Tan came back to his senses and found that the Martial Arts Field had arrived. A group of Imperial Guards who had been training stopped and stared at him in unison.

He couldn't help frowning.

I seem to be particularly prone to distraction in such an environment. It's not that my vigilance is low, it's more like...subconsciously relaxing?

Unlike in the palace, or in the palace, in these places he is like a taut sword, ready to be unsheathed at any time.

"I'll take care of you from now on, you know?" Zhou Fangming looked at Xiao Tan, frowning tightly.

This kid, I'm afraid he will be bullied by those bastards in the team in the future.

"Understood." Xiao Qin clapped his fists cleanly, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

If you grow up like this, learn from them! ?I don't even look at how awkward the movements are.

"Don't laugh!" Zhou Fangming scolded.

The crowd fell silent, and Zhou Fangming looked at Xiao Qin: "Have you ever learned Kung Fu?"

What Xiao Tan was waiting for was his words.

"Slightly clear."

"Oh," Zhou Fangming said in surprise, "then you can show your brothers."

Except for Xiao Tan, everyone else was selected through the evaluation of the Forbidden Army. It is naturally not pleasing to see the relatives. If Xiao Tan can show some strength, the situation will be much better in the future.

Xiao Qin nodded, and took two steps forward, and the direction he saw turned out to be towards Zhou Fangming.

"This kid is crazy and wants to fight Zhou Tou?"

"No way, looking at him like this, he doesn't look like a bad brain."

……

Xiao Tan listened to the discussions of the people around him, turned his feet, and walked over to the imperial army team.

He really wanted to fight Zhou Fangming directly at the beginning, but he felt it was inappropriate halfway through. It was the first time he came to the school grounds, and if he didn't do it well, he took the face of his immediate superior.

He intends to choose a strong one in the team, so that he can save a lot of trouble by standing up.

After all, he didn't really come to serve as a soldier when he came to the Forbidden Army.

Everyone saw Xiao Qin turning a corner in the middle of the road, and just about to laugh at him, they saw him walking not far in front of his elder brother, and said politely: "I'm offended!"

...?

excuse me?

Offend what?

That's all for inviting the big brother to fight, why dare to say that he offended before the fight started.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then began to cheer.

who cares.This kid is beyond his control, let's see how the elder brother beats him down.

"Brother Lin, come on!"

"come on!"

"Give this kid some color."

"Brother Lin" raised his eyelids and glanced at Xiao Qin, took a step forward as a challenge, and cheered louder and louder.

"Quiet!" Zhou Fangming yelled, seeing that Xiao Tan was calm and not panicked at all, he couldn't help but think highly of him.

Lin Dong is the best under him.

Dare to challenge him, but also a little courage.

"Please." Xiao Tan was very polite.

Lin Dong didn't talk nonsense, he made a clean gesture, and before Xiao Qin could react, he bullied him.

The other party didn't use a sword, so Xiao Qin naturally wouldn't draw it.

He stood still, wondering what was written in the book?How can it have a deterrent effect?

Control the enemy with one move?Or show off?

Lin Dong punched him in the face, Xiao Qin dodged and decided to fight with him for a while.

Both of them are masters, their movements are extremely fast, and they have passed dozens of moves in the blink of an eye.The onlookers could only see afterimages and hear the clashing sounds of fists and feet.

After fighting for a while, Xiao Qin felt that it was almost done, and then used an opening to lure Lin Dong forward, kicking the opponent's knee.

Lin Dong was unprepared and lost his balance. He bent his left knee and knelt down. Xiao Qin's fist came after him, barely stopping within an inch of the tip of his nose.

"I lost." Lin Dong admitted flatly, panting with sweat profusely.

"Acceptance," Xiao Tan retracted his fist and brought Lin Dong up, "Brother Lin underestimated the enemy, I'm just lucky."

Lin Dong shook his head and stood back in the line.

The rest of the people seemed to be stunned, all staring at Xiao Tan.

Zhou Fangming was also very surprised. He originally thought that Xiao Tan would not lose too badly, but he didn't expect him to win so easily.

"Go to training." Zhou Fangming meditated for a while and frowned.

Everyone dispersed immediately, and their eyes were still sneaking here.

"Zhou Tou, shall I go too?" Xiao Tan followed others in addressing Zhou Fangming.

"Wait," Zhou Fangming put his hands behind his back, looked at Xiao Qin for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?"

"...?"

******

Coming out of the Forbidden Army Academy, Xiao Qin went straight back to Duanwang Mansion.

On the way, I passed by the dim sum shop that Yu Yi often went to, but after hesitating for a while, I still didn't buy it.

The person who buys it back will not eat it, so it is better not to waste money.

Thinking of the scene where Zhou Fangming dragged her to apprentice this afternoon, Xiao Tan couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know how the other party will feel when he finds out that his apprentice's martial arts are higher than his.

"Son!"

As soon as he entered the house, Duan Fangzhu came out to welcome him.

"Uncle Duan, is Your Highness back?"

"I'm back, I'm leaving again," Duan Fangzhu sighed, "His Highness is going to the outskirts of the city to choose a hidden guard, but the old slave asked him to wait for the young master, but His Highness insisted on leaving."

Xiao Qin nodded.

Although he didn't know the reason, Yu Yi probably wouldn't want to take him there at this time.

Just as he was about to say that he was waiting in the palace, his chest suddenly tightened, and his heart seemed to miss a beat.

He had a premonition that something... was going to happen.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Duan Fangzhu looked at Xiao Qin's expression and became nervous.

"It's all right," Xiao Tan touched his heart, hesitated for a while and said, "Prepare the horse, I'll go to the outskirts of the city to have a look."
