Chapter 14: Assassination

This night, she tossed and turned, looking at the freshly changed paper over and over again, and a trace of bad premonition always lingered in her heart.

And on the day of the imperial examination, a qiē unexpectedly smooth.

On the day of the end, Meng Fan looked at the list to be recorded, and only one of the top three was surnamed Meng, and coincidentally he was the top of the list.

"Meng Cheng?" Why was this man's name so unfamiliar to her? That may not be a member of his own people.

"Meng Xiang, is there anything wrong?" Li Min asked.

Meng Fan shook his head, rolled the scroll aside, and asked Li Min in front of him: "This palace test is the last level, can you see this cheater?" ”

"Among these many candidates, only one is a blank paper!"

"Who?"

Li Min took out a white paper from the exam paper that had fallen off the list, put it in front of Meng Fan, and said, "This person's name is Wan Yan!" ”

Meng Fan was surprised when he heard this name, and looked at it again and again, it was true that except for the name, the rest of the person was not written.

Is this move of ten thousand words a rebellion, the move is inevitably too much, how can you gamble with your future, Meng Fan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Meng Xiang, can this tomorrow's palace test report the previous events and this 10,000-word act to the emperor." Li Min said, and Meng Fan replied: "Let's talk about it then, this matter is strange." ”

Li Min stopped talking when he heard this, Meng Fan glanced at him and said, "Why do I think you have a weird feeling today?" Could it be you...... Know what's going on? ”

"Meng Xiang is worried, I'm just thinking, if this matter is reported in time. When the time comes, what should we do if the official orders us to change the questions in the exam? ”

"You and I are the main exam, don't you even have the qualifications to change the question? In order to ensure fairness, this change of topic is also necessary, even if the official report is up, I have a clear conscience. After Meng Fan finished speaking, Li Min seemed to have something to say, but his mouth moved slightly, and he hurriedly retreated.

Meng Fan saw that Li Min was not in the right state today, so he hurriedly summoned Li Yu and whispered a few words.

Li Yu nodded, turned around and followed, so fast.

Meng Fan put the scroll on the table and was about to go out, only to see that he happened to meet Gu Zhiyu who was in a hurry outside the door.

Dressed in a bright red robe, with a face still dark, and a trance-like green gown and hat, Meng Fan snorted and laughed, the man stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Meng Fan and said, "What are you laughing at, do you like this handsome hat on my head?" ”

Meng Fan was silent, summoned to the carriage, and stepped on.

"Is Xiangye going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion or?" The coachman asked, and Meng Fan replied: "When you go to the house, remember to walk from the path." ”

"Path?" The coachman asked in a whisper, puzzled.

Meng Fan raised her eyes and looked, the person in front of her was not familiar, she said vigilantly: "Who are you, Ah Xiaona who is driving the car?" ”

"I'm Ah Xiao's neighbor, and he is sick today, so I came on his behalf." The coachman said sincerely.

Meng Fan smiled slightly and said, "I see, then so be it, I'll go by myself." ”

But this Meng Fan's foot had just touched the edge of the car, but the coachman's horse had already been driven at such a fast speed.

Hearing the horse's whisper, Meng Fan touched the sword in his waist, pulled out a handful and put it on the coachman's neck, and said sharply: "Stop!" The coachman smiled and said, "Then I can't help you, Meng Xiang can go down to Huangquan with you, I am really honored." ”

Saying that, he turned the car sharply, and walked towards the path to the suburbs, because of the violent bumps in the carriage, Meng Fan fell short several times, the coachman was obviously also practiced, and the dodge sword was also first-class.

And at this time, Gu Zhiyu was curious and followed, he was curious, this Meng Fan drove the car away, what was the matter?

However, in the end, he gradually found that this matter was very wrong, how could there be a prime minister with a thriving career, who drove a carriage to the edge of the cliff......

"The carriage in front stops!"

And his voice was evidently not heard by the man who drove the carriage, which only had the intention of speeding up and had no intention of stopping.

Meng Fan in the carriage was stunned by the jolting, the sword stood at the coachman's neck, and said with a smile: "Die with you, I ...... Aggrieved, you go to die! ”

With all her strength, she stabbed her sword down steadily, and the man fell suddenly, and the carriage became even more difficult to control.

"Meng Fan, you're crazy!" Gu Zhiyu shouted, the speed of the horse increased, and when he saw that Meng Fan was about to fall, he pulled the reins of the horse steadily, and suddenly, he saw that the body was taken out by this inertia, and Meng Fan was completely hung on the cliff.

She was unusually calm, and said with a smile: "I have to be assassinated countless times a year, I can't think of it, I can't think of it, the result is that I fell off the cliff and died, Your Highness still doesn't let go, I don't want to die on the same day, the same month, and the same year as you." ”

Gu Zhiyu sighed, still dragging the horse, and at this time the rope was about to break, he glanced at it and shouted angrily: "Meng Fan, give me your hand!" ”

Meng Fan handed it out, and Gu Zhiyu pulled Meng Fan out with a fierce pull, but his strength was limited after all, and he couldn't completely pull Meng Fan up in one go, and the two of them were embarrassed to hang at the mouth of the cliff.

"Gu Zhiyu, let go, you're about to fall." Meng Fan saw the earth at the mouth of the cliff falling down, and Gu Zhiyu's face gradually pale, she understood that if Gu Zhiyu persisted, it would only be the two of them who would die together.

Gu Zhiyu gritted his teeth, and said with some strength: "Why is there no one coming, but don't worry, I will let go if I can't hold on, I will spare my life." ”

"Don't point to this person coming, everyone who intends to assassinate will only do so if they choose a secluded and uninhabited place."

"Looks like you have a lot of experience with assassination?"

"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, I have been stabbed for three hundred days, and I have so much experience."

Meng Fan said, seeing that Gu Zhiyu couldn't hold on, he pulled out the sword in his other hand and said: "That Gu Zhiyu, seeing you sacrifice your life to save me, I think you are a good person, if I die, trouble you, help me take good care of the prince, I don't ask for much, just leave him a way to live in troubled times." ”

Saying that, she was about to break away from Gu Zhiyu, but she saw Gu Zhiyu pull hard, and Meng Fan moved up half of his body.

Gu Zhikai covered his sprained arm and said, "You climb up and climb up by yourself, I did my best." ”

Seeing this, Meng Fan only felt a pain in her chest when she exerted her strength, but at this time, she could only endure it, climbed up in one breath, smirked at Gu Zhiyu, and said, "Thank you, is it okay for His Highness to send me to the mansion again?" ”

"I said Meng Fan, after this catastrophe, don't forget to have fun, you are enough." Gu Zhiyu gave her a blank look. Meng Fan smiled: "I'm tired." ”

"Can you still ride a horse?" Gu Zhiyu saw that Meng Fan's face was pale and thought that she must have been injured, so he asked again.

Meng Fan nodded.

When Meng Fan arrived at the back door of the pavilion, he saw that Fenglou was already standing there.

"What's going on?" Feng Lou saw it at a glance and greeted him.

As soon as Meng Fan put his hand on Feng Lou's body, the whole person collapsed. Gu Zhiyu was worried that this weak-looking man would not be able to carry this Meng Fan, and was about to come forward to help.

I saw Feng Lou pick up Meng Fan, and when he saw Gu Zhiyu coming, he took a step back respectfully, and said, "I'm sorry for you, Feng Lou still has to take care of this son, please go first." ”

"Yes, yes, it's just that he's injured, you still have to be careful when you do things."

Feng Lou's face turned blue and said, "You're too worried." ”
