Chapter Seventy-Four: Easy to Dodge with Open Guns, Difficult to Defend Against with Hidden Arrows (4)

Since Liu Qi began, several generals have been selected for the rest. Among them, there are Yang Zheng, Wu Lan, and Yang Yizhong, Yang Zheng and Wu Lan have known each other since childhood, and they can be regarded as close friends. Moreover, Wu Ling is the younger brother of Wu Jue, a military general of the current dynasty, and he can be regarded as the queen of the general. The letters of recommendation for both of them were written by Wu Yu himself, and Yang Zheng originally joined the army with Wu Jue, but because of the delay at home, he decided to join Wu Lu together. Zhao Gou heard that Wu Lu called Yang Zheng his brother, and after careful inquiry, he learned that the two of them were also old friends, and it was Yang Zheng who took care of Wu Lu all along, which was also the reason why Wu Yu asked Yang Zheng to take care of him after joining the army.

As for Yang Yizhong, he is burly, has a heavy temperament, and is the same age as Wu Luan, so he is more mature and stable compared to him. Zhao Gou decided that the three of them would also pass, and only a few dozen of them would be left out of a thousand people. Zhao Gou looked at the familiar figure in the crowd and muttered, "Finally meet!" ”

This time, Zhao Gou's unexpected move again aroused the suspicion of Zhang Bangchang and others, and even Zong Ze was taken aback. The assessment one by one is time-consuming and wastes energy, and it is decided that each examiner will assess one person in person. Yang Zheng, Wu Lan, and Yang Yizhong were also personally selected by Zhao Gou. As for Zong Ze, no one took a fancy to him, and they all shook their heads, since they saw Liu Qi's ability, no one else could compare with him, and he felt a little helpless. However, Zhang Bangchang and others secretly stumbled and deliberately did not let people pass.

"Yue Fei!" Zhao Gou ordered the flag officer to shout out the names of Yue Fei and the others.

Yue Fei heard shouting to himself, and Zhang Xian and the others were also called by name. All of them stepped forward. After all, they are all from Tangyin County, so they stepped forward together, and Niu Gao was also among them. Zhang Bangchang and the others looked at the excited look on Zhao Gou's face, and couldn't help but have some doubts, when Yue Fei and the others entered the martial arts hall, they saw it really, and they were sure that the chief examiner of the martial arts examination was Zhao Gou, and they were also taken aback in their hearts, and wanted to shout, but Zhao Gou shook his head to stop them.

Everyone hurriedly closed their mouths, and the joy on their faces still made Zhang Bangchang and the others see it, thinking: "Could it be that the king of the county and Yue Fei and others know each other?" That way, you can make a big fuss! ”

Zhang Bangchang said loudly: "King of the county, do you know how many of them?" If you know it, you don't have to take the assessment this time, and you can directly pass it, so as not to waste time. The ability of the county king, the lower officials are very clear, if they know you, it will definitely not be bad, how about letting them pass? ”

"Lord Zhang, this is wrong!" Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "I do know each other with them, and the relationship is not bad. However, at the moment, it is the election talents for the country, and if they do not show their ability, even if they are old friends, they will not have any affection, and there will be a clear distinction between public and private. ”

Zhang Bangchang said meaningfully: "I hope so! ”

Wang Duo asked, "You are Yue Fei of Tangyin County?" ”

Yue Fei responded: "Yes." ”

Wang Duo said: "Seeing that a person like you is not outstanding, and your appearance is not amazing, what ability do you have, do you want to be the champion?" ”

Yue Fei replied: "How dare the villain be the champion. But in today's field, there are thousands of people who come to the exam, which one doesn't want to be the champion? In fact, there is only one champion, so can more than 1,000 people get all the champions? Wuju is just taking the exam according to the routine, how dare you be delusional? Just do your best. ”

Wang Duo wanted to use this to mock twice, but Yue Fei replied with these few words, how could he scold him? So, Wang Duo asked, "This official also asks what kind of weapon you use?" ”

Yue Fei replied: "It's a gun!" ”

Zhang Jun also saw that Zhao Gou and Yue Fei seemed to be very familiar with each other, and Zong Ze also saw the surprise and surprise in their eyes when they saw Zhao Gou, and felt a little strange in his heart. Zong Ze and Yue Fei had eaten and drank together before, and they had never heard him mention it. Zhao Gou also knew that if he said that he was familiar with Yue Fei and the others, and indirectly proved that he had been out for a few years since he disappeared, and he was no longer in the palace, then everything Song Huizong had done would not be able to explain clearly.

Wang Duo said: "Since you are using a gun, and the official happens to know a person who makes him a knife, it is better for the two of you to assess it together!" He turned to look at Zhao Gou again and asked, "Presumably, the Lord will not object to such an arrangement, so let's see if Yue Fei is really talented and can be appreciated by the Sect Master." ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "No problem, just do what Lord Wang says!" ”

Wang Duo ordered the flag officer to call another person to come, Zhao Gou saw that person, he chuckled in his heart, and sneered: "It seems that the main owner has finally appeared!" ”

I saw that this person was magnificent, dignified, well-dressed, a high-ranking leader, the person who came was the Xiaoliang King Chai Gui, who visited the acting king Zhao Heng that day, and was a descendant of Chai Shizong's faction, in Nanning, southern Yunnan, and was named the king of Xiaoliang. His father was Chai Kuiwu, the king of Liang, but he was unwell and inconvenient to enter Beijing to celebrate the birthday of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, so he came forward on his behalf.

On that day, the name that Zhao Gou saw was Chai Gui, the king of Xiaoliang, and he had some doubts in his heart, and said secretly: "The king of a country is extremely rich, why bother to take a martial champion, but lose the position of the vassal king, and compete with these Han warriors for fame?" If something goes wrong, there must be a conspiracy, so be careful. ”

That night, Zhao Gou entered the palace overnight and reported the matter to Song Huizong, and Zhao Ji only said four words: "Deal with it yourself!" Zhao Gou was ordered to return home, tossing and turning, he knew that someone in the court must have something to do with King Xiaoliang. It's just that I don't know who is behind the ghost, so I can only take one step at a time and respond on the spot.

Wang Duo, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Bangchang are all in a raccoon dog, openly and secretly want to mess with the martial arts exam, these Zhao Gou know it, and when Wang Duo mentions King Xiaoliang. Zhao Gou understood in his heart that the three of them must have taken bribes. He thought it was Gao Yu's meaning, so it seemed that King Xiaoliang wanted to seek the martial champion and re-enter the court.

Although King Xiaoliang had his own fiefdom, he was on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and was ambitious and wanted to restore the Later Zhou. King Xiaoliang's thoughts, how could his father, King Liang, not know that he was unwilling to come to Beijing this time to prevent King Xiaoliang from raising troops in the fiefdom. Even though the people in the Great Song Dynasty were not happy, the behavior of Song Huizong really made King Liang unable to see through, sometimes like a poetic emperor, sometimes like a holy monarch, so he decided to gamble.

Soon after King Xiaoliang entered Beijing, King Liang quietly arrived in Bianjing, and then entered the palace to meet Zhao Gou. And, leaning over and kowtowing to ask for guilt, Zhao Gou smiled, and then King Liang told his son's thoughts and thoughts. Zhao Gou listened with a smile from beginning to end, and finally waited for him to finish before telling King Liang the true situation. If it weren't for King Liang entering the palace to ask for guilt, perhaps King Liang's line would have been beheaded all over the house because of King Xiaoliang's affairs.

It turned out that Zhao Gou had already understood everything, King Xiaoliang was in the capital for a month, and he was reluctant to return to the fiefdom for a long time, and he had stayed in Bianjing, which aroused Zhao Gou's suspicions, and found that King Xiaoliang was in contact with officials in the court and the central government everywhere, and finally went to the palace of Zhao Heng, Zhao Gou was angry, and did not move, after King Liang entered the palace, he made everything clear, Zhao Gou did not blame, but felt that it was a righteous annihilation, so he allowed Zhao Gou to dispose of it himself, to put it bluntly, it is to kill.

When King Liang first saw Song Huizong, he felt that he was ambitious, and then he met a few times but he was eating, drinking, and having fun, loving calligraphy and painting, and ignoring the government, which made him faintly excited in his heart. Only then did he find out that Song Huizong was really different from before, and Song Huizong would fulfill his ancestral teachings before, and he didn't dare to do anything to Liang Wangfu. If Xiao Liang Wang Chai Gui really had other ideas, the entire Liang Wangfu would suffer a catastrophe.

When Zhao Gou saw Xiaoliang Wang Chai Gui coming, he had to get up and greet him: "Chitose, why did you come here to take the martial arts championship?" Do you want to give up your title? ”

Xiaoliang King Chai Gui was pretentious, and said arrogantly: "How does this king plan to let you ask!" ”

Yue Fei and the others all had cold faces, looking at Chai Gui coldly, and they wanted to kill him in their hearts. Now they confirm that the examiner in front of them is their junior brother, no matter if you are a prince or not, as long as you insult your brother, you will be killed. Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Jun and others also felt that King Xiaoliang was too empty, no matter how Zhao Gou said it, he was also the ninth prince of the current emperor, and he was still the privy council envoy of the dynasty and the minister of the court, so it was a bit rude not to give Zhao Gou face.

Zhao Gou didn't care, in the face of King Xiaoliang's ridicule, he was still light-hearted, looking at him with a smile, but he had another plan in his heart, and secretly thought: "Let you be proud for a while, and then it will make you head in a different place, just with your IQ, you still want to have other thoughts, I really don't know how King Liang can have such a son as you, it's really a shame for him." ”

King Xiaoliang had no one in his eyes, as if he was in charge here, showing off his might, and even brought a chair to sit down, with an extraordinary style. Zhao Gou also smiled and said nothing, Zhang Jun, Zhang Bangchang and others all frowned, this move was really a bit excessive, as if the examination room was like his family's fiefdom, he could do whatever he wanted, but he didn't dare to have any rebuttals, they all looked at Zhao Gou.
