The battle of the semi-finals is today, the winner bracket and the lower bracket will determine the last four, a total of eight left, and finally the winner bracket will take one or two, and the loser bracket will choose one or two to become the winner's one, two, three or four.

There are different opinions on the final result, but with the elimination of many seeded players before, there are already many listless people wandering around the Qinhuai River, if it weren't for the sudden drop in temperature in the past few days, the water must be overcrowded.

"It's not good to gamble."

Zhao Xuan spread out a stack of sealed letters on the imperial case, and as he spoke, he picked up a stack and put it under his nose and sniffed it gently, smelling the special ink fragrance on it, and he was in a good mood.

"Official, be decent......" Yan Shu admonished below: "It would be good if it was seen by others." ”

Zhao Xing didn't care about that, he put these brand-new seals into a box, hung two locks, and then patted the box like a baby: "Gambling hurts people." ”

"Official ......" Yan Shu sighed: "You can win more than a million, right?" ”

"Can my business be called a gamble? I'm just warning those gamblers that gambling doesn't end well. Zhao Xuan raised his head: "Yan Qing, what's the matter?" ”

"The fish is hooked."

"Hooked? Good, good, good. Zhao Xing's eyes lit up, but he quickly became serious again: "The words of Yelu Buddha Baonu are not signed on the paper, so they are not hooked." ”

"The minister understands that the winner will be decided in a few days." Yan Shu's eyes rolled: "Official, if it is Lord Song's pseudonym, if he directly names the princess, is it too conspicuous?" ”

Zhao Xuan thought for a while, leaned back in the chair and raised his hand slightly: "Xiaoyu." ”

"The slave is here."

Xiao Yu walked out of the shadows like the old king before: "You go to look for your Lord Song today, and tell him that you should make some coincidences when choosing the princess, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be too deliberate." ”

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

Taking advantage of the night, the little fish turned over the courtyard like a ghost, but when he was about to get down, he directly poked out a rope from his sleeve and threw it at the tree next to him, but he didn't expect that he had just climbed to the tree and accidentally touched something, and then a large net suddenly came from all sides, and then dozens of bells rang inside and outside the yard.

The little fish was covered in the net and did not move or struggle, but looked pitifully in the direction of the atrium.

After a while, Qiaoyun walked out of it, took a lamp in his hand and shone it around, and after seeing that it was Xiaoyu, he silently shook his head and walked back to the house.

Xiao Yu also smiled dumbly, sat there and waited until Song Beiyun rushed over with the key, and said while putting Xiao Yu down from the tree: "You one or two, you have to come in over the wall, you said that if you knock on the door, even if you call Brother Song, can I open the door for you?" ”

"Got it......"

Xiao Yu responded sweetly, her voice was as sweet as a girl, Xiao Song raised her head and looked at him, and shuddered: "If this person has never seen you, if you can tell that you are a man and a woman, it is definitely a godsend." ”

"Little fish don't care."

After coming down from the tree, Xiao Yu patted the dust on his body: "Lord Song, the official family asked me to come." ”

"I still don't know, come with me, go into the house and drink soup to warm up, it's raining, you're soaked, and you're not afraid of the cold."

Xiao Song took him to the house, took a towel and wiped his face, and then took him to the kitchen stove: "Come, sit here, I'll serve you soup." ”

"No...... Lord Song, Xiaoyu is a slave, how can you bother Lord Song to do it...... If the master knows it, he will be punished. ”

"." Xiao Song pressed him on the chair: "If I pay attention to this, can I still have a few envoys at home?" You just sit. ”

Xiao Song said and made a bowl of fish soup stewed for Jin Ling'er from the pot and handed it to Xiao Yu: "The princess drank it, I accidentally got too much, you drink it." ”

Xiao Yu took the fish pond and looked at Song Beiyun deeply a few times, then stopped talking and sat there peacefully and drank the soup.

After a while, Xiao Song walked back with the cat in his arms, put the cat in the nest of the straw mat next to the kitchen stove, looked up and asked, "What did Mr. Zhao ask you to say?" ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly put down the bowl, got up and said, "The official said, let you be careful not to show the horse's feet, saying that the fish has been hooked." Now I also ask Lord Song to be more careful, if you go up, you will call the name of the eldest princess, I am afraid that it will cause people to be suspicious. ”

Xiao Song's eyes rolled: "What Yan Shu said, right?" ”

"How did Lord Song know?" Xiao Yu was surprised: "Lord Song really knows how to pinch his fingers?" ”

"I'll be a fart." Song Beiyun waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhao doesn't have this scheming, in the whole world, if you want to say fine, it's still Yan Shu's fine." ”

Xiao Yu showed a clear smile: "Lord Song is really still Lord Song." ”

"Don't say flattering words, you go back and reply to Mr. Zhao, just say I understand."

"But ......" Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment: "Lord Song still said a way for me to take it back, otherwise the official family will not be able to put his mind at ease." ”

Xiao Song crossed his arms and fell into contemplation, he walked back and forth in the kitchen, and the kitten followed his footsteps back and forth, the scene was very loving, and Xiao Yu saw God unconsciously.

"Ahh

Xiao Song suddenly clapped his hands and woke up Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu hurriedly raised his eyes: "Lord Song, how is it?" ”

"In this way, I came up and ordered Zhao Cheng, but the emperor announced that it was Zhao Ling who promised me...... No, no, no, this won't work. After Song Beiyun finished speaking, he rejected himself again: "In this way, the second place may be ordered with Jin Ling'er." ”

Xiao Song continued to walk around cross-legged, he really didn't think of this point before, in the end, he was not the all-knowing and all-powerful Song Beiyun, his negligence might make Yu'er wake up in advance, then it would be a big trouble.

"There it is!" Xiao Song's eyes suddenly became bright: "Isn't it going to be four into two tomorrow, like this...... After tomorrow's game, the official family summoned all the remaining players on the Da Song side into the palace, and told everyone that if they didn't choose Jin Ling'er, they would make a decision. ”

Xiao Yu was suddenly blindsided, he looked at Song Beiyun with some confusion, and Xiao Song rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Look, you don't understand this." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head ignorantly, indicating that he didn't understand what these cultural people were thinking.

"Jin Ling'er is pregnant with my child, Buddha Baonu knows." Song Beiyun shook his fingers: "If I come up and order her, Buddha Baonu will definitely be suspicious, then we will use another method to cover up the suspicion here, that is, to dispatch Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is not only the emperor, but also an important member of the Zhao clan, he has the responsibility and obligation to maintain the glory of the Zhao clan, and the princess must not be leaked out of marriage." ”

Xiao Yu nodded heavily, indicating that he understood.

"So from the perspective of the royal family and the Zhao clan, now that Song Beiyun has entered death row, Jin Ling'er will definitely not be able to marry him, so she is pregnant, and this matter must be covered up, what should I do? That's the people who choose their sons-in-law, and they marry any princess anyway, right? So marrying a pregnant princess doesn't matter to these people who want to be a colt, and they don't care about the princess but about glory and wealth. ”

After Xiao Song said a lot, he stretched out his hand and waved: "Who has the right to let another person enjoy glory and wealth in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Xiao Yu suddenly brightened, he got up and arched his hand towards Song Beiyun and said, "Lord Song is really as the official family said, he is a god-given minister of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

It didn't take long for Xiaoyu to tell Zhao Xuan about Song Beiyun's countermeasures, and after Zhao Xuan listened, he patted his thigh and said to Yan Shu: "This time is the first villain in the ages." ”

Yan Shu was also stunned in his heart, although he himself thought of some methods, but there was really no way for Xiao Song to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the key was seamless, no matter who got the first place and immediately chose Jin Ling'er, it didn't matter what happened after that, if you want to be prosperous and rich? Just be honest and obedient and give it to him. If he is not honest and obedient, I hope that when he celebrates his nineteenth birthday twenty years later, he will still have the honor to participate in the imperial examination.

Don't say anything cruel or not, a human life is a fart compared to the dignity of the royal family, as long as the royal case is involved throughout the ages, which one is not a river of blood?

Song Beiyun, the wicked man, is a complete wicked man, but no one can accuse him of anything, after all, the matter has come to this point, what good way can he do?

And those who are scrambling to be horses, what are they fighting for, God knows what you know, I know, it's not interesting to hide it, people who are really ambitious will never waste time on this selection of relatives, they have imperial examinations, internal promotions, and no matter how bad they are, there are workshops.

If you covet that glory, don't be angry with that injustice.

After Zhao Xing's decision, two people in the winner's group and one person in the loser's group were summoned into the palace by Zhao Xuan early the next morning, and everyone chatted about a stick of incense.

Of course, when I told the other two that I had to choose Jin Ling'er, I just tasted the pomegranate sent by Fanbang with Jiujiang Xinchen.

However, the fact that these three people were summoned to the palace early in the morning quickly spread, and the Buddha Baonu naturally heard about it.

She was having breakfast, and when she heard the news from the guards, she only thought about it for a moment, and then smiled understandingly.

"Why is Your Highness laughing?"

"The royal family wants to be faced." Buddha Baonu snorted and said disdainfully: "But this matter is not up to them, if they don't follow my wishes, then I will turn him upside down." ”

The conspiracy is easy to be recognized, but Xiao Song's play is not a conspiracy at all, but a stage play with reason, evidence, rules and laws.

Everyone is doing their job on the stage, and everyone seems to have done their best, but in the end, it just depends on whether anyone is too deep into the play to extricate themselves.
