Chapter 827: Assassin

During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang set up guards in Daning and other guards to teach the children of officers, but the courses were all Confucianism. Now decades have passed, although health studies are still there, they are not worse than Fuzhou county schools. If Lao Tzu dies early, when the son has no place to learn martial arts, it is very likely that he will be an idle officer who eats and waits for death for the rest of his life, just like most people in the small school field at this time.

However, who doesn't want to glorify the ancestors and seal their wives and sons, so Zhang Yue first mentioned martial arts, and then talked about the command of the governor, and the crowd that had just quieted down for a while was in an uproar. Faced with all kinds of questions, Zhang Yue just pressed his hand down, and then lined up the crowd and walked to the galloping straight road in the center of the small school field. He ordered a horse to be led, and he personally went to the weapon rack next to him and took a hard bow and a quiver, tried his hand, turned over and jumped on the horse, and then galloped out.

After a few movements in one go, Zhang Yue had already landed at the end of the gallop. The onlookers stretched their necks to look at the three arrow targets set up over there, but they saw that all three arrows were hit, and one of the arrows landed firmly on the red heart. In the face of this achievement, even Zhang Yue, who had already made a good draft in advance, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the last time he saw the heaven-sent horse archery in the English Park, he was afraid that he would have to patrol the border with him, so he picked up this bow and horse martial art for a while, and finally had some achievements. It's just that because there is an arrow target on the side of the gallop road, if you shoot willows, it won't be so lucky.

When he dismounted, Zhou Ping'an had already greeted him with sincere fear, followed by Shang Yong, who was full of stiffness. Some of the young children around him applauded, some praised, and some didn't know what expressions to show. He handed the hard bow and quiver to Peng Shisan on the side, and said with a smile: "Finally, there is no shame." ”

At this time, he turned his head to look at the people in front of him again, and said in a deep voice: "Martial arts is just the word diligent practice, you didn't have the time to practice diligently, and no one taught you before, which is understandable, but after receiving Lu Mi and officially receiving the background, you can't go on like this!" After the martial arts are decided, I will ask you to enroll in the first batch, if you can't beat my archery today, after two years, then these two words are not a rumor! ”

Seeing that there was silence in the crowd, Zhang Yue turned his head directly to look at Zhou Ping'an: "The roster of today's competition." ”

Zhou Ping'an glanced at Shang Yong, and when he saw that his face was like ashes, he suddenly hated in his heart - just now it was clear that he didn't care about anything, how can this matter end now? However, Zhang Yue had already stretched out his hand, and he had no choice but to take the book from the hand of the scribe next to him, and then presented it with both hands.

Zhang Yue took it and flipped through a few pages, and saw that there were a few crosses drawn under the dense names, so he asked coldly: "Today's competition can be regarded as seeing from the beginning to the end, except for a few outstanding martial arts, there are some passable, and the rest are about the same, what's going on with these people?" ”

Seeing that Zhou Ping'an was sweating profusely and couldn't answer, Zhang Yue simply turned around and shouted: "Chen Tieniu, Wu Dazheng, Feng Sanbao ......"

As he called out his name one by one, several people squeezed out of the crowd and kowtowed unevenly. Zhang Yue saw that they were all dressed in shabby clothes, and even the patches on the back of two padded jackets were torn, and there were tattered cotton wool exposed from them. After calling them to look up, Zai carefully looked at the faces of several people, and found that they had at least stepped forward to perform martial arts before, and his face suddenly became even more ugly. He didn't look back at Zhou Ping'an and Shang Yong, and went straight to ask people to take out the pen and circle the names.

"The martial arts of a few of you are also gone, since they are treated equally, this time they will all be taken for the time being."

"Thank you, sir!"

Several people were all overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and thanked again. For a while, the other people around suddenly became noisy, and some even shouted a sentence in dissatisfaction, to the effect that they had paid money or something. However, this time, Zhang Yue ignored them anymore, and did not return the book to Zhou Shang and the others, and handed it over to Hu Qi, and when he saw that the entourage brought the horse again, he turned over and got on the horse.

"Go back and practice martial arts well, and the future wife and shadow will have to rely on you!"

Seeing that Zhang Yue seemed to have forgotten the person sent by the first, and was about to leave after carrying a horsewhip, Zhou Ping'an couldn't help but feel relieved. But just as the horse neighed, he saw that Zhang Yue did not leave immediately, but suddenly turned the horse's head and looked at him condescendingly.

"What about the people I sent first?"

Zhou Ping'an's mouth opened wide for a moment, but he didn't know what to say. At this moment, Shang Yong suddenly stepped forward and said coldly: "My lord, today's matter is the internal affairs of the Wuxuan Division, you suddenly came here without any notice in advance, and it was a lecture and a promise, and you let an outsider come to point fingers before, is this out of bounds?" As for who to take and who not to take, the adults will also decide with one word, what is the use of our Wuxuan Division! ”

There is a way to move the body, raise the easy qi, Zhang Yue is the party that holds the power after he comes out, he has killed people and fought wars, he has been a feudal official, and after returning to Beijing, he is the capital hall, and he naturally has an irresistible power when he speaks. At this time, seeing that Shang Yong dared to collide with him like this, the already depressed displeasure in his heart suddenly rose to the extreme.

"You say that, but it's mine, isn't it?"

Zhou Ping'an thought to himself, regardless of Zhang Yue's background, even today's official position is not something that the two of them can afford to bump into each other face to face. Therefore, even if he knew that Shang Yong had beaten people unconscious and instigated the feelings of the crowd before, it had already been a big mistake, but he thought that the Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War had always been like this, and it was not that he was greedy for ink, so he couldn't help but pull Shang Yong's clothes in the back, who knew that Shang Yong was not shocked and laughed: "Adults are naturally everything, and if there is, we will be subordinates, but ......"

As soon as the two words fell, I only heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and when the people around were still stunned, the sharp-eyed people saw a sharp arrow flying towards Zhang Yue on the horse. Before the exclamation could be spoken, between the lightning and flint, Zhang Yue suddenly rolled over on his side, and the man suddenly got out of the way of the horse, and the arrow swept past the horse, but it fell into the crowd behind, which caused a miserable snort and an exclamation for a while.

said that it was too late, and the sharp-eyed Peng Shisan suddenly saw a person holding a bow and arrow standing on a big rock not far behind the crowd, his head suddenly exploded, and he almost didn't think about it, and shouted at the same time: "There are archers, be careful!" ”

Almost at the same time, the sound of breaking the air made the crowd fall into a commotion all of a sudden, and Hu Qizhangbu and a few other entourages pulled Zhang Yue off the horse and protected him in the middle. After hesitating for a moment, the young people who had just been called by Zhang Yue and said that they had taken it were actually three of them took the initiative to surround them, and they grew up one by one and tried to block them with their hands. Among the other young descendants, there were also several high-level shouts, and the crowd dispersed for a while.

Faced with such a situation that he had never imagined, Zhou Ping'an was already so frightened that he couldn't move, and when he saw Shang Yong retreating, he hurriedly shouted, but he didn't want an arrow to suddenly fly head-on. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and when he reacted and looked back, he saw that the arrow had actually pierced Shang Yong's back, dyeing the cyan official uniform gorgeously. At that moment, he had never seen blood before, and he was completely wooden, and he couldn't even move his body at all.

Zhang Yue just hooked the stirrup with one foot to dodge the flying arrow, that is just a stress reaction that people who face more crises, and then if it weren't for Peng Shisan and the others to come up in time, if the mount under him was hit by another arrow, then he would definitely not be able to please him. However, the moment his feet landed on the ground, although he could still hear the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, he suddenly recovered from his astonishment, and suddenly let out a loud shout.

"Take the man!"

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him had already rushed up, it was Hu Qi. Seeing that Peng Shisan's shocking arrow hit the man's thigh, he was glad and took a few steps faster under his feet. When he saw that the people who had been lying in ambush here on the left and right all pounced on the archers on the big rocks, and saw that they would be able to capture them alive, half of his heart that had just been hanging high finally fell, but his right hand still clenched the hilt of the sword, and he hated that he had never expected such a mess in public.

In charge of the security of the Beijing Division, there is Shuntianfu, there is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Jinyi Wei pro-army and Dongchang are in charge of the arrest, and the spy department where he is located belongs to the Ministry of War. However, the matter was reported to Zhang Yue, even if others did not blame him, he couldn't push it over.

Enraged, he finally rushed to the man, and when he saw that several of his subordinates had held the man down firmly, and even stuffed a ball of rags in his mouth, he was sure that the man was alive, so he tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of his shirt, grabbed the feathered arrow that had pierced the assassin's thigh, and slapped it violently, and then pulled it out. The moment the arrow entered the flesh and left the flesh, he saw that the man's face was spasmodic in pain, and he almost fainted on the spot, so he used a strip of cloth to tie the upper part of his thigh to stop the bleeding, and asked the person next to him to pour the golden medicine he carried with him. After all this work, he had the time to look back.

"How?"

"Go back to your lordship, it's a living mouth."

"It's good to be alive...... Damn, just skin him! ”

Zhang Yue saw that Hu Qi was directing several subordinates to work, so he had time to check the surrounding situation. It was only a short time, and the crowd that had just been in a commotion because of the sudden appearance of the assassin had gathered again, but they were all standing there from a distance, not daring to step forward. Farther away, I saw Zhou Ping'an still sitting on the ground, as if it was a clay carving and wood sculpture.

"My lord, Lord Shang is dead."

Although the assassin had already taken it, no one dared to guarantee that there was only such an assassin at the moment, so Zhang Yue was still surrounded by a group of guards. Hearing Zhang Bu say that Shang Yong was dead, he couldn't help frowning, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. When Shang Yong just came out to question him, he felt that the so-called righteous words were strict with a kind of lust and guilt, and now that Shang Yong is dead, he feels that today's events look like nothing more than corruption and fraud in military elections, but in fact, it is likely that there is something else hidden.

Sure enough, the next moment, Peng Shisan walked over slowly with Fang Jing from the other side. Seeing Fang Jing shaking his head vigorously while walking, there were still some water droplets in his hair, and he was still ignorant, Zhang Yue finally changed color and walked quickly to meet him. When they arrived at the two of them, Peng Shisan reminded them, and Fang Jing raised his head at this time, and it took a long time before he finally finished speaking.

"Third Brother Zhang, I just went to pick up your words, but after the master Shang robbed me of a few words, he questioned me again. But before I could answer, someone knocked me unconscious......"

"These daring bastards!"

Zhang Yue scolded hatefully, and when he looked over again, he finally thought of Zhou Ping'an, and the two of them walked over to this side with Zhou Ping'an on their left and right. When they got closer, he found that Zhou Ping'an was depressed, not so much being carried by someone as being dragged over. He asked the person a few times, and finally found that this person was so frightened that it was difficult for one of the ten sentences to be complete, and it was "all Shang Yong's idea" and "I don't know anything".

"Clean up here and go and inform Shuntianfu and Jinyi Weidong Factory."

Leaving these words, Zhang Yue nodded at Fang Jing, and asked Peng Shisan to help people to the side to rest for a while, and then walked towards the crowd over there. Before he could reach the crowd, the crowd all knelt down, and he ignored it, and asked casually to one of the soaps who stayed there, only to know that there were no dead, but several wounded, and these people with different injuries except for one unlucky one who was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, the others were trampled on when they fled in all directions, and some even broke their ribs.

Glancing at them, he didn't look at the young people who were blocking in front of him at the three critical moments, but asked Hu Qi for the roster, but under the reminder of the guards on the side, he paid attention to a few leaders who led people to dodge, and then clicked by name one by one, and finally found that there were twelve fewer people left behind than the list. crossed out the names of these twelve people, and he returned the roster to Hu Qi.

"When you return to the military department, you ask the Wu Xuan Division to report the origins and origins of these twelve people. By the way, if the Jinyi Guard comes, let them check these twelve people well. If you really run away because you are afraid, if it is not ......"

If you don't run away because you're afraid, you're running away because of a weak heart or some other more serious reason! If it is really as Zhang Yue guessed, then today's matter is really big. Hu Qi, who was distracted, hurriedly bowed and agreed, and stepped aside to arrange.

At this time, Zhang Yue didn't have the heart to say anything to the frightened young people in front of him, but just said lightly: "You have also seen today's events." I don't know what is going on for the time being, but it was just an archer who caused this appearance, and if there was a surprise attack on the battlefield, wouldn't you all have to be scattered? Think about it when you go back! ”

After waiting for Yiyingren to kowtow, it gradually dispersed, Zhang Yue couldn't help but rub his temples, thinking that the micro-service and distraction he thought had become like this, and he knew that he shouldn't have brought Fang Jing with him.
