Seeing the eye-catching words on the parchment, Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine that his luck was so poor, and he could win the jackpot with the odds of choosing one of the four, and he couldn't help but secretly curse for not washing his face when he went out today.

"Qin Qing, you are willing to gamble and lose!"

Li Longji's voice sounded at the right time, reminding Qin Jin that he had lost and could not go back.

"Minister, willing to gamble and lose!"

Qin Jin was very unconvinced, but he could only admit this fact, Li Longji's smile had a hint of cunning and a little schadenfreude, it seemed that Qin Jin had lost the gamble, which brought him a hint of ease and pleasure.

Yang Guozhong, Chen Xuanli, and Gao Xianzhi, who were around Qin Jin, were secretly relieved. This kind of taboo errand, of course, it is best not to take your turn, otherwise you will be provoked into bad luck, and you don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.

After all, the Tang Dynasty was an extremely conservative ancient period, and even if the Tang Dynasty was an all-inclusive leader among all Chinese dynasties, it could not bypass this deep-rooted traditional concept in the hearts of the world.

Allowing an innocent official to pretend to be a rebel, regardless of whether the other party can accept this humiliation of status, even the gossip of bystanders and those who do not know the truth can lead public opinion in an uncontrollable direction.

If they lose another "battle" in the "exercise," the blow to their reputation will be even more serious.

Although Qin Jin also knew this, after all, he came from that era of openness and freedom, and in addition to being angry with Yang Guozhong, he did not resist much in his heart.

"Yang Qing, have the rules for the martial arts been decided?"

Li Longji quickly diverted everyone's attention from the selection to play the rebel because of the lottery.

Yang Guozhong, who had thrown away his burden, bowed very neatly, "Enlighten the sage, the charter has already been drawn up, if it weren't for General Qin's objections to the selection issue, I would have presented it to the sage today." ”

The implication is that Yang Guozhong blames Qin Jin for all the responsibility.

When Li Longji was in a good mood for a while, he didn't care much about such trivial matters, so he only waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't care if I know it for a day and a half, the important thing is not to let the soldiers chill." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Qin Jin again.

"Go back and explain to the soldiers of the Shenwu Army, we must not let them affect their training because of this, it doesn't matter who pretends to be a rebel, they will all go out to kill thieves in the future!"

When Li Longji said some seemingly comforting words without pain, Qin Jin only thought of one sentence in his mind, standing and talking without backache, if you have the ability, you Li Longji will also play a rebel, and see if you can still be as calm and relaxed as now?

Qin Jin could feel the strong compassion and schadenfreude in the eyes that looked at him in all colors, he didn't want to care, he was like a thorn in his back by this strange and unspeakable atmosphere.

Seeing that Li Longji was still chattering there and saying some innocuous words, Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh secretly, Li Longji's hysterical appearance a few days ago was still vivid, and today this thing is like no one, no matter what his heart is, at least the psychological quality of talking and laughing on the surface is not comparable to ordinary people.

Qin Jin and the others were delayed in the Daming Palace for about an hour, and then they retired one after another.

It wasn't until Chen Xuanli and Yang Guozhong's figures completely disappeared outside the palace gate that Li Longji got up tired and staggered towards the dormitory.

When the little chamberlain in the hall saw the Son of Heaven getting up, he hurriedly knelt down and sent him off, and only straightened up after the footsteps faded away. At this time, the stacked parchment on the imperial case caught his eye.

Today's generals and prime ministers draw lots in front of the Son of Heaven to gamble, with this thing, curiosity, the little eunuch saw that there was no one left and right, so he gently took a few pieces of parchment in his hand, turned over twice, the whole person was stunned, but saw four pieces of parchment respectively written on a striking word "lose".

Back in the army, Qin Jin announced the process of admitting defeat by lot, telling everyone that the Shenwu Army pretending to be a rebel had been approved by the Son of Heaven, and it was already a sure thing.

The Shenwu army was all angry, scolding Yang Guozhong for being shameless and venting personal revenge, but this matter has passed the decision of the Son of Heaven, and it is difficult for anyone to change this fact. Therefore, although everyone is full of anger, they are still silently doing their own things.

Pei Jing came to Qin Jin's side quite worriedly.

"Isn't General Zhonglang worried at all?"

"Worried about what?"

"If Yang Guozhong ruins the name of General Zhonglang by performing martial arts, it can be said that it is as easy as a hand. ”

Qin Jin looked at Pei Jing with concern.

"Tell me your judgment!"

Since Pei Jing was subdued by Qin Jin, he has had an unprecedented sense of belonging to the Shenwu Army, and the person who can bring the entire Shenwu Army together is naturally Qin Jin. Qin Jin seems to have become the spiritual leader of the Shenwu Army, and these sons of a gentleman's family who were once scolded by the people and despised by the officials found their goals and pursuits in life here for the first time.

Now, Yang Guozhong is targeting the Shenwu Army, in the eyes of these families, it is aimed at Qin Jin, and it is also aimed at them, they must not sit back and watch this kind of thing happen and ignore it.

Pei Jing said indignantly:

"The four armies are doing martial arts together, only the Shenwu Army is a rebel army, and the loser must be my Shenwu Army, at that time, Yang Guozhong can take this to make a big fuss, smear the Shenwu Army, and slander the Zhonglang General, those who know the inside story will naturally distinguish between right and wrong, but after all, the people who distinguish between right and wrong are only a few. At that time, both the Zhonglang General and the Shenwu Army will lose their reputation, and the Son of Heaven will also lose his patience with the Zhonglang General, and it is unknown!"

Qin Jin only listened quietly, and did not explain and echo too much, as if Pei Jing was talking about someone else who had nothing to do with it.

"General Zhonglang!"

Seeing this scene, Pei Jing accentuated his tone.

"If it goes on like this, will it be difficult for us to endure it and be on the neck by others?"

Qin Jin smiled, "Who said I had to endure it?"

Chongning Fang, Yang Guozhong's mansion. Chen Xuanli got out of the car, his nose and brows couldn't help frowning, and the streets in the square were filled with a smell of feces and urine. He couldn't help but sigh: "Yang Xianggong can commit himself to living here, it's really not simple, it's not simple!"

The servants of the Yang Mansion had already opened the middle door, only to see Yang Guozhong stepping out of the threshold in civilian clothes and greeting him with a smile on his face.

"General Chen came to the Humble House, Peng Sheng is shining, Peng Wan is shining!"

Yang Guozhong deliberately exaggerated his words, which was obviously self-deprecating. Chen Xuanli didn't feel embarrassed, he only smiled understandingly, and arched his hand:

"Today's trouble, I have to ask the minister, the day after tomorrow, the specific regulations of the martial arts, although the text is clear, but there is no personal advice, come steadfast!"

In front of General Chen, Yang is just a junior in military affairs, but a saint trusts, so he is reluctant to make it difficult, and I hope that the general will not laugh at Yang!"

"What is this saying, Yang Xianggong's method of performing martial arts confrontation is indeed refreshing, and the shooting is amazing, and it is definitely not from ordinary people. ”

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then walked side by side into the narrow courtyard of the mansion.

Chen Xuanli muttered as he walked: "There is a sentence that Chen should not say, please don't blame the minister." Even if you don't go back to Yongjiafang, you always have to find a clean and tidy place, so the public loyalty to the country has treated him badly, but it makes Chen embarrassed, embarrassed!"

Yang Guozhong was not disgusted by Chen Xuanli's abrupt words, and said with a smile: "Since the resignation of the prime minister, Yang has felt a lot, the reason why he did not move out of Chongningfang is not that he is unwilling to move away, but that Yang must always use up the things in front of him to be vigilant and self-reflective, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past and take the old road! Bad state affairs! Yang Mou's own affairs are small, and the society is big! As long as the imperial court can quell the chaos as soon as possible and restore the world, Yang will live in the mountains for the rest of his life, and he will have no regrets!"

In this regard, Chen Xuanli was greatly moved, and bowed to the ground.

"Yang Xianggong's heart, I admire it so much, please accept Chen's worship!"

Yang Guozhong hurriedly flashed to the side and held Chen Xuanli again.

"This is the duty of a minister, Yang used to close his eyes like a cloud barrier, and today it is not too late to wake up, and he is also a saint who is merciful, and he can't bear to see ...... abandoned"

Entering the main hall of the house, the two of them no longer greeted each other, but exchanged their opinions on the specific regulations of the martial arts.

Yang Guozhong's idea is actually very simple, with the right leading army as the central army, and the left Wuwei and the Longwu army as the left and right armies, to flank the rebels pretended by the Shenwu Army, and to encircle and annihilate the Shenwu Army in a battle.

In addition to inspiring people and pleasing the Son of Heaven, this will also completely break the myth that the Qin and Jin leaders have not tasted defeat.

With such a double benefit, Yang Guozhong felt that Qin Jin could neither resist nor resist. Even if he no longer deliberately demanded that Qin Jin must be "defeated", with the strength of the three soldiers, he would crush the Shenwu army to death. What's more, there is also Gao Xianzhi, who has made great achievements in battle, is also in his own camp, even if Qin Jin is covered in iron, he can hit a few nails"

Chen Xuanli has other worries.

"If you do a real confrontation, I am afraid that the situation will get out of control or people will be damaged. ”

Yang Guozhong replied confidently:

"In the drill of soldiers and horses, casualties are always inevitable. Besides, when performing martial arts, we don't use real knives and guns, but only use a wooden pole without a gun head as a weapon, and how many people can be injured?"

Although Yang Guozhong patted his chest and assured that what he said was true, Chen Xuanli always felt a little unreliable, he didn't want to kill people when the Son of Heaven was watching the army.

Unlike others, Chen Xuanli also led the entire forbidden army of Beiya, in other words, the safety of the Son of Heaven and even the imperial city was in his hands, and if something went wrong, he would bear a great responsibility.

Therefore, it is impossible not to discuss with Yang Guozhong in advance and deal with all kinds of possible accidents so that they can be dealt with strictly.

But judging from Yang Guozhong's attitude, he is obviously very optimistic about the martial arts performance the day after tomorrow, and he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong!
