"Good boy, Yang Jin can't see that you still have such ability, this plan is wonderful, if it succeeds, there will be a heavy reward when you return to Beijing." Xuan Gan patted the shrewd chicken-killing boy Yang Jin on the shoulder, turned to the other guards and said, "You and the others will prepare separately according to what Yang Jin said." ”

On the mountain trail behind Nanzhuang, a group of villagers appeared, and more than a dozen young men were escorted to the mountain under the guidance of a black-faced strong man. This black-faced strong man is Zhu Can, and the two people who are tied up by the rope are Yang Xuangan and Yang Jin.

Walking through a pass, there were two minions on the road, both of whom were native to the hometown, and they recognized these young men as Nanzhuang villagers, and the black-faced man was Zhu Can, a famous hunter in Nanzhuang. shouted: "Zhu Heizi, if you wait for Zhuang Min to stay at home honestly, what are you doing in my Nanshan Village?" ”

"It's the little four brothers! Don't you see this? Last night, the owner of the Nanzhuang Inn, your father-in-law of the Zhou village owner was killed by these two foreign merchants, how dare I wait for the Zhuang people to let him escape, so I caught it and sent it to the Zhou Zhai master, so as not to anger the Zhuang people in my place. ”

"Oh! And these things, I see that the horse behind you is carrying a lot of things, which must be the goods of this merchant. Okay, Zhu Heizi, you wait here, I'll go to the village to tell the owner of the village to know. Seeing Zhu Can and the others nodding, this minion turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Soon, Xiao Si returned and asked Zhu Can and other Zhuang people to take the two murderous merchants to the cottage along with the horse package. Xuan Gan and Zhu Can secretly looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the cottage, and no one stopped them all the way. When I entered the Juyi Hall, I saw the big king and the little overlord Zhou Zhong sitting on the chair in the middle, looking at everyone coldly. There was a wave of anger on his face, and there was a little lady crying in a low voice beside him.

"Zhu Heizi, I have repeatedly asked people to let you go up the mountain to sit in the second position of my cottage, and you have repeatedly refused the kindness of this king. It turns out that there is a lack of a vote! Now I have a name, but I am willing to go up the mountain to be the second master? Little Overlord Zhou Zhong sneered at Zhu Can and said.

"The master of Zhouzhai is bad! If Lao Zhu doesn't catch these two people and send them to you, I am afraid that the owner of Zhou Zhai will launch a rush to slaughter my Nanzhuang household. Zhu Can said neither humbly nor arrogantly, still a rhetoric of refusing to go up the mountain as a bandit.

"Humph! You Zhu Heizi still don't know what to do. Bring the two thieves who killed my father-in-law to me to see. Several Zhuang people pushed Xuan Gan and Yang in, and knelt down two meters in front of Zhou Zhong.

Zhou Zhong got up and walked down the steps, held up Xuangan's jaw with the leather whip in his hand, looked at Xuangan who had a trace of blood on his face, and said, "You two dare to kill my father-in-law, okay!" Today, I will dig out the hearts and livers of the two of you and make a pot of sobering soup to drink. ”

"Good thief, you dare to take your Grandpa Yang's heart, hum! Don't let me take your dog's head? Xuan Gan's eyes lit up, and he didn't have a look of despair. The little overlord Zhou Zhong was the closest, and suddenly felt a murderous aura in his face, took two steps back, and was about to call the guards, but before he could speak, he heard the person kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back shouting: "If you don't do it, wait for when!" With that, he broke free from the ropes of his arms, and pulled out a single knife from the waist of Zhuang Min beside him, and went straight to the little overlord Zhou Zhong. Zhou Zhong only had a buffalo whip in his hand at this time, and there was nothing else, so he hurriedly used the leather whip to file, only to hear: "click", Xuangan's single knife had already split Zhou Zhong in half diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist, and his organs flowed to the ground and he fell to the ground and died. At this time, the surrounding minions reacted, and rushed over to fight with knives and guns.

More than a dozen Zhuang Min and Xuan Gan's guards were about to meet them, and Zhu Can raised the green dragon knife and shouted: "Zhou Zhong is dead, why fight to the death!" When the minions heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and saw Zhou Zhong's dead body lying on the side, you look at me and I look at you, and they are angry for a while, and they don't move forward, and more of them directly discard the knives and guns in their hands and stand aside without saying a word.

"Now, Zhou Zhong is dead, he has no ability, if the brothers don't dislike me Zhu Can, how about this chair being sat by me Zhu Can?" Zhu Can smiled and walked up the steps and sat on the golden chair, and a personal follower Zhuang Ding stood behind him with the green dragon sword in his hand, majestic and extraordinary. Seeing this, there is nothing else to do, they all know that this Zhu Heizi has a good reputation in this area, and it is better to have him as the lord of this mountain than the little overlord Zhou Zhong with a false name. So they put down their swords and guns and came forward to bow down to the new owner of the village.

Yang Xuangan and the others also smiled when they saw it, and Xuangan stepped forward and said: "Engong, sitting here, the cottage will definitely be prosperous, and the little brother is here to congratulate." ”

"General Yang, I didn't know that this matter would come to such a conclusion, so don't worry! That's what I'm going to do. It's better than sitting on this chair that Zhou Zhong always thinking about killing people and selling goods. After speaking, he called a Zhuang Ding and told him to check the materials in the cottage. At the same time, a banquet was prepared, so that the minions in the cottage would change owners with the same celebration, and by the way, a banquet was set up to thank Yang Xuangan for everyone's help.

At the banquet, after three rounds of wine. Yang Xuangan said to Zhu Can: "Brother Zhu, my Prince's Mansion is currently lacking a hero like my eldest brother, you might as well consider being recruited by my Prince's Mansion to receive a military position, and it is good to show the lintel, and all the brothers under him will also get a salary." ”

"Okay." Zhu Can heard Yang Xuan's words and immediately agreed.

"Being a thief in this green forest is by no means a long-term thing, and if you do it big, you will either be recruited by the court or exterminated. The crown prince is the prince of a country, and being a general under the prince is doing things for the court. After speaking, he raised his glass and toasted to Xuangan.

"Brother Zhu is arrogant, please." Xuan felt like he drank it all, and his heart was extremely happy. He has already seen that this Zhu Can is a good martial artist and is not weak with himself, if he enters the prince's mansion, he will be a general under him.

"Big brother, I am waiting for this trip to Jiangnan to visit the masters of the rivers and lakes for His Royal Highness the Prince. Tomorrow, the younger brother will leave first, and when the younger brother returns in a few days, he will return to Beijing with his brother, how about it? Xuan Gan said.

"Okay, a certain family is waiting for Brother Yang to arrive in this mountain, don't break your word!" Zhu Can raised his glass and drank it with a sense of humor.

Xuan Gan led his subordinates Yang Jin and other guards to bid farewell to Zhu Can early in the morning of the second day, and went south. Zhu Can instructed Zhuang Min to reorganize the Nanzhuang Inn and arrange Zhuang Min to be on duty, one for the convenience of ordinary merchants to stay in Xiema, and the other to listen to the information of distant merchants.

Zhu Canzi is here to live for the green forest and horses, not to mention, just in the Jingshi Palace.

"Your Majesty, you see that Yong'er is still filial to you, this Huichun Hall stock certificate worth 100,000 yuan is not easy to get." Queen Dugu held this precious and precious stock certificate in her hand, which was equivalent to an opportunity to regenerate. Looking at Yang Yong on the side, he said that this stock certificate has greatly changed Dugu's view of the eldest son.

"Huh! Oh, yes! Yong'er can have this filial piety, which makes me very happy. Does Yong'er study at home during this time? Or do you continue to do your job? Emperor Wen turned his head and asked Yang Yong, who was standing on the side.

"Father and queen mother, since the last time he was punished by his father, the son has changed his mind and changed his past, and concentrated on studying the books of the former pilgrimage sages at home. Yang Yong hurriedly stepped forward to answer when he saw his father's question.

"Hmmm! Yong'er knows that mistakes can improve a lot, but don't study hard at home, you must know the truth of traveling thousands of miles and breaking thousands of books. At this point, your brother Ji'er has done a good job, and he can share his father's worries at a young age. Emperor Wen Dundun taught.

"Yong'er, go out for a walk when you have nothing to do at home, and understand the people's sufferings is also the duty of the prince, and you must know the truth that you don't know why the people are kings. It doesn't hurt to take advantage of the peace of the world to go for a walk. Dugu also taught Yang Yong. Yang Yong nodded hurriedly yes.

"By the way, 10 days later, it will be the season of this year's autumn hunting, and the envoys of various countries in Beijing are invited to go together, Yong'er can prepare more, practice archery well, and show my style as a prince of the Great Sui during the autumn hunt, don't let my father and queen mother down." Emperor Wen gave Yang Yong the goal to strive for, and these words were never mentioned to King Jin, which shows that he still has some hope for his eldest son.

"Father and Queen Mother just rest assured, after the Emperor goes back, he will strengthen the practice of bows and arrows, and he will not disappoint his father and Queen Mother during the autumn hunt." Yang Yong was in a good mood at this time, and it seemed that it was very correct for him to dedicate the shares of the Rejuvenation Hall that he had purchased with a lot of money to his father and mother, and he had always done wrong things for a period of time, which made his father and queen mother look down on him a lot. Today, I finally did one thing right, and I got back a lot of face in front of my father and queen mother. Seeing that his father and queen mother had high hopes for himself during the autumn hunt, obviously hoping that he could show his face in front of hundreds of officials and foreign envoys, how important was it to strengthen his position as a prince? So he swore to his father and queen mother.

From the palace Taihe Palace, Yang Yong ordered his subordinates to summon Yang Su, the king of Yue, to the prince's mansion to talk. Less than a moment after returning to the mansion, Yang Su, the king of Yue, came to Yang Yong's study, and when he saw the prince Yang Yong's face, he was suddenly relieved. Hearing the prince's sudden summons, he thought that the prince had been reprimanded again for entering the palace to ask the queen for peace, and the unfavorable factors for the princelings in the past few days have been constantly magnified, which has made the princelings panic.

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be nervous, this time he entered the palace prince with a Rejuvenation Hall stock certificate to win back the heart of the queen mother and father, and he didn't reprimand me again, but gave me more words of encouragement. It is also to let me show the demeanor of the prince of the Great Sui in public on the autumn hunting ground ten days later, which is the recognition of the prince by my father and queen mother. Yang Yong fiddled with the gilded porcelain vase in his hand and said to Yang Su calmly. He knew that Yang Su, as the most important staff member of the princelings, attached great importance to his entry into the palace to greet him, and this greeting even became a barometer of whether the prince's position was stable, which would affect the princelings' next move.

"Oh, that's good! The old minister congratulates His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, and it is very important to win back the favor of the emperor and queen. Yang Su's heart knot was untied at this time, and he was quite relieved. At the scene of the autumn hunt, let Yang Yong or Yang Guang come out in front of the envoys of the hundred officials, the matter is small and the matter is big, this is a ceremony for the royal crown prince to be recognized, and the hundred officials can witness the royal direction. Those who ride on the wall can decide their own political stance through this matter. This is very important for the stability of the position of the crown prince and the stability of the hearts of the princelings. It can also deal a heavy blow to the momentum of the Jin Wang and his party, and reverse the unfavorable public opinion on his side in one fell swoop.

"From now on, the prince will be closed and concentrate on practicing riding and archery. It's just that the assassination of King Jin decided by the imperial uncle the day before yesterday can be postponed? The current form has completely turned, everything shows that the situation is in his favor, whether it is necessary to go to extremes, Yang Yong fell into hesitation.

"Your Highness, this matter is also on the line, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry about this matter at all, just don't know. Practicing riding and archery with peace of mind is. The situation at the scene of the autumn hunt had nothing to do with His Highness. Yang Su said softly. In Yang Su's opinion, even if the crown prince Yang Yong is favored, it is difficult to say that there will be no accidents in the future, but the best plan for this is to clear the king of Jin as the best. Moreover, as long as it is arranged properly, the basin is finally detained on the assassin of Chen Guo, and no one will suspect the prince when he is so favored by the prince, which strengthens Yang Su's determination to assassinate Jin.

The moment he came out of the Prince's Mansion, Yang Su, who was full of worries, raised his eyes and looked in the southeast direction, thinking, Xuan Gan Wu'er has entered the royal family of Chen Guo this time, and he must obtain the token of Chen Guo - the assassin waist card, otherwise it will not be easy to frame Chen Guo!
