Lu Mansheng quietly embroidered in the glass hall, and the things that he hated in the past were not bad to calm his mind and cultivate his mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She is embroidering a simple sachet for her little ci'er, which will be stuffed with some fragrant and sleeping rushes, cypress seeds. After all, what others do is not as good as what she did as a mother, and when she had a child, Lu Mansheng found that there were many things that she didn't want to do at all, and naturally wanted to do something for the child.
Lu Mansheng was thinking about this, and Xiang'er ran in in a panic with Gong Ci who was crying.
"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness has been crying non-stop since the morning, and the nurse can't be coaxed no matter how she coaxes." His Royal Highness is very well-behaved every day, and he rarely cries. Even if you cry, you're just hungry, and when you're full, you'll sleep soundly.
As His Royal Highness grows up day by day, he is getting more and more cute. In addition, His Royal Highness is pink-carved jade, soft fluttering, the little palace maids and little eunuchs of Zhengyang Palace like him very much, everyone will always play with him, His Royal Highness is happy, and the delicate baby laughter can always soften everyone's heart.
Zhengyang Palace has only this one child, and it is the noble little highness, who is held in the palm of everyone's hands, and since Gong Ci was born, he has also become the center of the people in the upper and lower palaces of Zhengyang Palace.
They are like finding the center of gravity, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never needed to be taken care of by the palace people, and the eldest princess does not like people to approach, as for Concubine Lu, there is His Royal Highness the Prince to take care of her, and there are fragrant things for personal matters, and there are few things for them.
Well, now that there is His Royal Highness, Zhengyang Palace will be lively.
But today, His Royal Highness, who has always been well-behaved, cried very much, and he couldn't coax him no matter how he coaxed him.
There have been such situations before, and most of them were when something happened to the mother or His Royal Highness the Prince. This was also discovered by Xiang'er herself, and they discussed these things in private. His Royal Highness seems to have a psychological connection with Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince, and will cry when something happens.
So when His Royal Highness couldn't coax him this time, Xiang'er was either worried that His Royal Highness was sick and unwell, or she was afraid that something was going to happen.
It's actually ridiculous to say this, but after experiencing the previous incidents of His Royal Highness's crying, they have already acquiesced to this speculation.
As it turned out, this speculation was not nonsense.
Lu Mansheng hugged Xiao Ci'er in his arms and lowered his head to kiss his crying cheek. Just as he was thinking about carrying him to the outside of the palace for a walk, he heard the palace people of the Qingxin Palace come to report in a panic: When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was leaving the court this morning, he was stabbed by a killer who suddenly appeared from the lotus pond while passing through the imperial garden, and was seriously injured and in critical condition.
Lu Mansheng heard this, and almost couldn't stand.
His Royal Highness has not always been careful, the guards of the Dayao Palace
…………
(The rest will be replaced later)
It's enough to don't think about anything like this, and live your life with peace of mind. In the past, she has always been like this, and she has suffered all kinds of suffering. Why is it that when happiness is really in her hands, she suffers from gains and losses and becomes worried?
Perhaps it was due to Ouchi's six consecutive assassinations in recent months, she thought.
That's right, one assassination after another against the crown prince is the most important thing that has happened in the Dayao court in the past few months.
Although Gong Shun has strictly sealed off the news to the outside world, the explanation to the people is that Ouchi has been practicing recently, in order to improve the vigilance and combat effectiveness of Ouchi's guards.
This statement itself is very far-fetched, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is heavy on military force and suddenly launched this plan, people can't help but wonder if there is another truth behind it.
But one thing is true, Gong Xun has indeed been selecting a group of masters recently to fill the inner court.
The more he seizes the heirs, the more the hidden strength behind him is also ready to move, and this Dayao Palace is becoming more and more unpeaceful.
Although Lu Mansheng was well protected by Gong Xun in Zhengyang Palace, he could still feel an atmosphere of impending wind and rain.
During this time, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ordered by the emperor to select Ouchi masters. During the three-day master competition, those who perform well are likely to remain in the palace and be given the position of a guard.
And in the end, the one who won the top spot could also be named the champion of martial arts and ranked among the ministers.
If you want to participate in this master selection, you only need to meet two requirements, one is that you have a pure identity and have the intention to serve the court; The other is to complete the test set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Only those who have passed the layers of tests can take a high salary and become a guard with a sword in front of the palace. The final victor can still rise to the top and become the martial champion that the court relies on.
Lu Mansheng was still more interested in these things, and after listening to what Xiang'er said, he also wanted to watch the martial arts trials.
It's just that there is a little bit that Lu Mansheng doesn't quite understand.
It stands to reason that when assassinations are frequent and the prince suspects that there are spies on the other side, why do you still hold such a martial arts trial? Wouldn't that make yourself more dangerous, if someone with a heart blends in with these masters and takes the opportunity to approach him, then Gong Xun will be in danger.
She could think of this, it was impossible for Gong Xun not to think of it. Then there is only one explanation, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it on purpose? The purpose of this move is to lure out the assassination master behind the scenes, to catch the flaws of that person?
Passive waiting is not Gong Xun's style.
Instead of sitting back and waiting here, it is better to take the initiative. And the opponent has also failed to succeed because of the successive assassinations, and he will definitely not miss this good opportunity. Even if you guess that one of these is fraudulent, you will gamble on a game.
Thinking of this, Lu Mansheng paid more attention to this martial arts selection.
At least she can be careful, and for those who have problems themselves, she should be wary of not allowing them to approach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince easily.
Even if he didn't care and was willing to risk his life, Lu Mansheng was unwilling.
If she had told the crown prince like this, His Highness would have wanted a hundred and eleven reasons to reassure her. The only way to do it is for her to observe it herself, and she is also secretly investigating, confirming the identities of those people and the purpose of coming here, so that she can feel at ease.
There is no doubt that she will not be able to use the power of Nie Tao and Meng Lingdong, if these two people know, it is equivalent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knowing.
She thought of the Flying Pigeon Gate, which is a small sect that has recently emerged in the martial arts. This sect is small, but it is very famous.
And the reason why this small sect was able to gain a foothold in the martial arts so quickly was also because of one reason. That is, the ability of the Flying Pigeon Gate to gather intelligence is very outstanding, they know the secrets of many big people, and there are also a lot of unknown information and information.
As long as you walk around in this river and lake, or participate in special events, and leave traces of your life in Dayao's large and small inns and restaurants, the flying pigeon gate can collect their information and know their origins in detail.
It's just that there is a point where the pigeon gate charges are very expensive. They charge different fees depending on the object and user. In the case of Lu Mansheng, not only is it complicated, but there are too many people to investigate, so it is not a small amount.
Money is a common thing for Lu Mansheng.
In the past, Lu Mansheng was not rich but had no real money because he was looking for a doctor. Later, when he became the imperial doctor of the Shang Yi Bureau, the conditions were even better. After marrying Gong Xun, the two of them are even more indistinguishable from each other.
In order not to let Gong Shun find out, she used her own savings.
Taking the opportunity to go to Xinglin Academy to take classes, she went to Dayao's Dabao Qian Village to get 100,000 taels of silver. The silver ticket of 100,000 taels was carried in her arms, and then she returned to the palace.
Martial arts auditions began.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally sat in charge, and Meng Lingdong stood behind Gong Xun, examining for him those who practiced martial arts who came today.
Although there are indeed a few of them, Meng Lingdong regrets that so far he has not seen a master who has made his eyes shine.
However, in the process of patrolling these people, he noticed the sound of Lu Man, who was quietly watching this martial arts competition on the high platform opposite.
Imperial Doctor Lu rarely makes these lively things in the palace, but this time he suddenly appeared here, is it purely to watch the competition, or is it ......
"Ling Dong, how are these people?" Gong Xun himself is very discerning, but in terms of martial arts attainments, Meng Lingdong is the number one master in the inner world, and he has the most power to speak.
"Back to Your Highness, these people are okay as ordinary guards, if you want them to protect Your Highness's safety and successfully kill the killers who have come to assassinate in the last few batches, there is still something missing."
"You've said so, it seems that today's selection is nothing to look forward to."
Gong Xun said, and was about to leave and hand over the scene to Meng Lingdong, when he found that Meng Lingdong's eyes were condensed, his body was tense, and he looked at the stage intently.
"Your Highness, I think—the master has appeared!"
With Meng Lingdong's words, Gong Xun did it again, and quickly turned his head and looked at the competition table below.
Just now, the moment Gong Xun lost his patience and was about to get up, a person flew out of the sea of people, using the shoulders and heads of other people as a bridge, and the dragonfly flew to the test table in a chic manner. He stood leaning over, sword in one hand, behind his back.
That posture and the light skill that he showed at random just now, he knew that this person was a master.
Meng Lingdong is an expert, and he knows that this person is strong in kung fu at a glance, and he shouldn't let them down.
Everyone else also took a breath, and the young man in black, who had just stepped onto the stage, kicked his opponent off the competition table in the blink of an eye. And every time he only used one move, he knocked down the opponent who came to the stage to challenge the audience, and shocked the audience as soon as he shot, showing his strong strength.
Since he came to power, no one has been able to take ten moves under him. The master who was passable before has also become an ordinary person when he arrives here.
Judgment from above.
Lu Mansheng also noticed the man in black, he was indeed very strange. But with such superb martial arts, he should not be an unknown person in Da Yao.
And behind Lu Mansheng, there is also a "palace maid" with her head down.
"See? The first person I want you to investigate is him. ”
The palace maid nodded, "Concubine Lu, don't worry, this person's information will be sent to your case within three days." ”
"I hope it will be delivered in two days." There are three days in total, and there are only two days left, and it is determined that he is the champion of martial arts, protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, once there is a problem with his identity, it means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in danger at any time.
Lu Mansheng wanted to confirm the identity of this person before he did, and she didn't allow anything to go wrong.
"Two days ......"
"Why, can't you do it?" Perhaps it was related to the life of the prince, Lu Mansheng spoke firmly this time and did not give the other party room to negotiate.
"Two days, no problem." This is the most important case received since the opening of the Flying Pigeon Gate, and the entrusted to them is the concubine of the court, although the Flying Pigeon Gate does not want to intervene in the affairs of the imperial court, but the client of this matter comes from the court, and understands the affairs of the rivers and lakes. What's more, the money is sent to the door, and they have no reason not to want it.
Concubine Lu has reached an agreement with Feigemen, and after the matter is completed, no one will mention this matter again. Of course, if there is anything related in the future, she will also entrust the pigeon gate.
She believes in their work ethic and that their findings will not disappoint.
The "palace maid" lowered her head and retreated, Lu Mansheng glanced at the stage again, turned around and left the selection site.
Meng Lingdong watched Lu Mansheng leave, thinking about Miss Lu's intentions in his heart, and turned his head to look at the prince again, but finally fell silent and did not explain the matter to him.
On the other hand, at the end of the first day of the competition, Meng Lingdong also sent the information of the man in black who was the best man on the competition table.
The information is very limited, and from this thin piece of paper alone, there is no problem with the man named Breaking the Storm.
"Breaking the clouds?" There is such a strange name.
"Breaking the wind and clouds is a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, he never cares about idle things, and he will not stay for anyone. No one knows where he came from, who he is, or what he's going to do next. Breaking the Storm is his nickname, and his real name is unknown. ”
"Where did this nickname come from?"
"I heard that his swordsmanship is domineering, and he can cut through the wind and clouds and split lightning with a sword, so he is famous." On the competition table today, they didn't see him show such superb swordsmanship, thinking that those opponents couldn't let him shoot.
"Why did such a prodigal son come to participate in the martial arts trials?"
"This has not been found by subordinates."
But Breaking the Wind and Cloud is not recent, he has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, unless he has been in contact with someone else recently, there should be no problem.
"Go find out, Ling Dong, you also know that his sword is dangerous."
"Yes, if his arrival really has another purpose, once the sword is drawn, even his subordinates don't know if they can completely stop it." That sword was really dangerous, and Meng Lingdong hadn't seen it before, which was very bad for them.
If you haven't seen it, you can't judge the true strength of the other party, and you don't know the power of that sword. Let him approach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and when he strikes a sword with all his might, no one knows what kind of effect it will have.
"This palace has a hunch that this breaking storm will be an important clue to a new situation."
"The subordinates have asked the dark guard to keep an eye on this person at all times, and no matter what he is doing, he will report to His Highness as soon as possible."
