Chapter 18: Messy

Tang Ning glanced at Lin Lan in some surprise when he heard this, he didn't expect Lin Lan to say such a thing. Although Downing didn't care about this, he was indeed a little moved.

He has always misunderstood Lin Lan, although she is from a famous family and has an extraordinary family background, she is indeed a kind girl.

In fact, he should have understood a long time ago that when Lin Lan overturned the eldest lady's apple stall on horseback, he did not bully others, but paid others money. And the apple stall lady was willing to stand on Lin Lan's side, which also showed that Lin Lan had a good name.

If he had understood this, perhaps there would have been no misunderstanding, and there would have been no trouble today.

It stands to reason that Tang Ning should have deceived Lin Lan, but in the end, Lin Lan helped Tang Ning, a poor boy, to speak, which made the military department squire look at her in surprise.

Lin Lan is famous in the capital, but it has its preciousness, in fact, the squire of the military department also pities Tang Ning's talent very much, and the squire of the military department is also from a humble background, all of which he has worked hard to learn from his own cold window, so Tang Ning also touched his heart.

The squire of the military department muttered: "What Miss Lin said is not unreasonable, so let's go and ask Lord Shangshu for instructions, and then decide this matter!" ”

The squire of the military department went to find Lord Shangshu, and the few people who stayed had different expressions, Tang Ning still looked calm, and Lin Lan had a trace of expectation on his face.

Wu Xuan Shilangzhong's face was a little annoyed, and as for Li Rui, his face was a little gloomy and unwilling. Originally, he thought that as long as Tang Ning's true face was exposed, Tang Ning would be immediately deprived of his qualifications for martial arts selection and expelled from the school.

I didn't expect things to be so simple, I have already determined that this kid was mixed in, and I have to ask Lord Shangshu!

Moreover, Miss Lin was obviously deceived by this kid, and even helped him speak in turn! What's so good about a poor country boy? Why can Miss Lin be willing to help him say good things?

Li Rui's heart was full of jealousy, and he anxiously hoped that the secretary of the military department could handle it impartially and expel this kid.

The school competition was temporarily stopped, and the children of the family who participated in the martial arts election also discovered the abnormality here, although they didn't know what was going on, but obviously something must have happened.

Even the emperor noticed the abnormality here, and the secretary of the military department immediately sued and came out to check the situation, and happened to meet the squire of the military department who came in a hurry.

"My lord, the lower officials are looking for your lord! The young man who had just won the first place in the riding and archery examination school, he should not have appeared in the military election, but because of a misunderstanding, Miss Lin of the Zhenyuan General's Mansion mistakenly thought that he was participating in the military election, so he was brought to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and participated by mistake. The soldier's squire hurriedly explained in a low voice.

Something really happened, and the military department Shangshu asked in a deep voice: "Then what is his identity?" ”

The soldier's squire explained: "My lord, this young man's name is Tang Ning, he comes from a humble background, and he is a young man hunting in the mountains and wilderness of Toyoshu. What do you think about this matter? Although this young man is indeed not qualified to participate in the martial arts election, his archery skills are extraordinary, and his skills in the riding and archery examination school are amazing! ”

The soldier from a humble background really pitied Tang Ning's talent and said good things for Tang Ning in front of Lord Shangshu.

The military department Shangshu said slowly: "This young man is indeed a material that can be made, and this hand archery skill is really good, even the emperor and General Zhenyuan are full of praise." The emperor said, it's really gratifying! Do you understand? ”

The squire of the military department was stunned when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "The lower officer understands!" ”

After the squire of the military department went, the secretary of the military department immediately returned to the emperor's side, and said with a smile while saluting: "Your Majesty, the minister just went to ask, and it was a strange thing to say. ”

"The boy who shined in the riding and archery examination school just now turned out to be a boy hunting in the mountains, and he was not in this martial arts election. However, due to fate, he was brought into the military department by the daughter of General Zhenyuan and participated in the military election. ”

The emperor smiled slightly: "Oh? Is there such a thing? This is providence! ”

When Lin Xiangnan, the general of Zhenyuan, heard this, he immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, it's the little girl Meng Lang, and it's all the ministers' family education is not strict!" ”

The emperor smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, so it's all Lan'er's credit!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get such a talent, and I should thank her! ”

General Zhenyuan bowed and said, "The emperor is serious. ”

The military department Shangshu on the side was also relieved when he heard this, he figured it out, the emperor really appreciated this young man very much, and he didn't care about this young man's background at all.

Tang Ning and Li Rui didn't know that this little thing had reached the sky, and Li Rui was still waiting for Lord Shilang's reply at this time.

Lin Lan comforted Tang Ning and said: "Your archery skills are so good, even if you are disqualified from martial arts, you don't have to be discouraged, I recommend you to my father, he will definitely be optimistic about you!" ”

Although Tang Ning really didn't care about this, he still smiled and thanked Lin Lan when he heard Lin Lan's comfort. Li Rui couldn't help but be jealous when he heard Lin Lan's words.

It's just a young man in the mountains, why is his luck so good? What he is looking forward to now is not only to disqualify Tang Ning from the martial arts, but it is best to put him in prison for punishment, so that he will not be able to turn over!

Not long after, Lord Shilang walked over quickly, and in Li Rui's anxious anticipation, Lord Shilang said lightly: "The second round of martial arts competition is about to start, you guys should prepare!" ”

Li Rui, who was waiting with his eyes, never thought that what he was waiting for was such a result, how could Li Rui stand it?

Li Rui said loudly: "Lord Shilang, what does this mean? He is not qualified to participate in the military election at all, won't the adults deal with him? ”

Tang Ning was also surprised by this result, and wondered: "Yes, I am not qualified to participate in the martial arts election at all, shouldn't I be deprived of my qualifications?" ”

It was not surprising that Li Rui asked him, even a fool could see that he and Tang Ning did not deal with each other. But Tang Ning himself questioned it, which made people feel inexplicable.

Not only Lin Lan, the soldier squire, and Wuxuan Shilang felt speechless, but even Li Rui suffered 10,000 injuries.

This is a martial election, a martial election that many people can't ask for, why does this kid not take it to heart so much? Look like you don't care!

The squire of the military department said lightly: "Whether Tang Ning is qualified to participate in the military election or not, is it up to you to decide?" It's the Ministry of War that has the final say! Okay, that's it, let's get ready for the next round of martial arts! ”

After saying that, the squire of the military department turned around and left, leaving the messy Li Rui and Tang Ning. Li Rui felt sad, all of them were like this, and Tang Ning was actually left behind.

Tang Ning also felt sad, he still couldn't avoid being beaten in the end!
