Because Xu Liang and Shen Yue were not at home these days, Xu Xun often soaked in the barracks at first, and even stayed there, and sometimes even if he had free time at night, he would most likely choose to stay quietly in the leisure garden to avoid the flow of passengers who could almost break through the threshold at home these days. This is bitter for Zhang Cai, who has not yet taken office, and even Tang Yin can't hide from it, but fortunately, now there is another Cao Qian who often comes to help, and they can finally steal a leisure. However, no one expected that Xu Xun had been escorted back by a large number of people in less than two hours after he went out of Xing'anbo Mansion early in the morning, and the reason was that he was assassinated!

The two of them didn't care about the visitors who came to the door to see them, and after quickly inviting the imperial doctor, they stood at the door of the house and paced back and forth in circles, and almost nodded their heads and bumped into each other several times. It wasn't until it was reported outside that Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, had come in person, and the two were immediately startled. But just as he started to go out to greet him, a young man wearing a golden dragon yellow robe with a plate collar and narrow sleeves rushed out of the hall. Knowing that there was a chance that it was a report from outside, the little emperor just broke in, and the two hurriedly went down the steps to greet them, but Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to them at all, and rushed straight into the house.

Liu Jin is a lot older, in order to chase Zhu Houzhao's anxious and fast steps, he is already sweating profusely at this time, seeing that the little emperor has entered the house, he just didn't ask anything from Jin Liu and Liu An's mouths, so he simply grabbed Zhang Cai, who was about to follow, and asked in a sharp voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Back to Grandpa Liu, my lord was assassinated on the way to the barracks." Zhang Cai broke free of Liu Jin's hand, looked at him deeply, and said word by word, "The murderer is Jiang Shanfei who escaped from the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

Flying in the mountains? Who is that?

Liu Jin frowned and pondered, while Gu Dayong on the side was shocked. He glanced at Liu Jin and didn't say much, just walked so quickly and rushed straight into the house. Just crossed the threshold, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine, thinking that Zhu Houzhao was addicted to bow horses, and suffered some small injuries on his head in three days, in order to prevent the alarm of Emperor Hongzhi, they often got some medicine and wine from the Tai Hospital, and this smell was already very familiar. Thinking of this, he only stood for one stop before quickly stepping into the Westinghouse. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhu Houzhao standing there in a daze, and at that moment, he almost only felt that a bucket of ice water was poured on his head.

Could it be that Xu Xun has already ......

"Where's the dog thief who stabbed you? I'm going to overkill him! ”

Zhu Houzhao's sudden roar startled a large number of people in the room, and even Xu Xun, who was lying on the bed, had an urge to cover his ears. Looking at the few skin injuries on his body, he smiled reluctantly, as if he didn't know that his smile was more ugly than crying in the eyes of others. Even himself, while marveling at the solid foundation of Jiang Shanfei's hands, congratulated himself on his careful preparation.

All the family members recruited this time, outsiders were scared away by that piece of paper, except for Jiang Shanfei, all of them were good hands secretly obtained through Huitong, and their loyalty can be guaranteed. Moreover, Jiang Shanfei's carefully quenched copper coin darts had already been taken advantage of by Lu Bi to take advantage of an opportunity to drag them down, and someone went to them to steal one and imitate it, and then they all dropped the bag. Otherwise, even if he was wearing close-fitting soft armor protection at that time, he would have to be unlucky! As for the last flying dagger, it was blocked by a guard beside him, which allowed him to dodge.

However, in front of Zhu Houzhao, he had to pretend that he was poisoned but didn't care, and comforted with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just a little skin injury, and it's not as dangerous as the time when he and Jingyang Bo led the troops out of the fortress." It's just a clown who jumps off the beam, and the guards took him down with three punches and two kicks, and in addition, thanks to Cao Qian's divine knife from heaven. ”…,

Xu Xun glanced at Cao Qian, who was still kneeling there at the head of the bed, pointed to the person and said with a smile: "Did the emperor see it, the young man is nothing more than that, the younger brother is bold and careful, and so is the elder brother, this pair of brothers have all met me!" ”

If it were usual, Zhu Houzhao liked the young heroes the most, but he didn't have the slightest interest at this time, he glanced down at Cao Qian and stomped his feet angrily: "When is this, you still have the heart to ask for merit for others, if you have three longs and two shorts, what is the use of them being brave!" The Assassin ...... What is the name of the guy who flies the country, I want to judge him personally, I want to see who he is, whether he has three heads and six arms, a bear's heart and a leopard's guts, and dares to attack my minister! ”

Zhu Houzhao was so furious, Cao Qian, who was kneeling down, just heard Xu Xun's recommendation to him, and just now he only felt extremely moved, but at this time, the rest were only frightened, let alone look up, and he didn't even dare to move. Just when his neck was a little sore, a strange voice came from behind him that he had never heard before. As soon as he heard the voice, he knew it was a eunuch.

"Your Majesty, that Jiang Shanfei is the ...... who intimidated Xu Jing and assassinated Zhang Cai before" Gu Dayong glanced at Xu Xun, and saw that his body was wrapped in a lot of white cotton bandages, and the faint blood stains that could be seen oozing out in many places, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then bent down more and more respectfully and said, "If the slave is not mistaken, this person should be in the prison of the Criminal Department, how can he easily escape from prison?" ”

Gu Da used this reminder, and Zhu Houzhao immediately remembered this person, and his brows furrowed tightly. Liu Jin, who came in with a step, had just heard such a name from Zhang Cai, and when he finally thought of Min Qi before, he was a little happy at first, and secretly said that he was planning to do something to Han Wen, which made such a scene, as long as Min Qi and Han Wen, the two old men of Qiqing back then, were connected together, and Han Wen would be disciplined if he didn't die. However, the two words of the criminal department made him suddenly feel surprised, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

Such a person should have been killed a long time ago, thinking that Jiao Fang had also cleaned up the prison at the beginning, how could he just let such a guy go? It can't be that the old boy wants to take revenge and wants to go crazy, and he ends up with such a thing, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Jin had long forgotten that he should have gone up to express his concern to Xu Xun and asked for warmth, and stood in place for a while. Although Zhu Houzhao, who had his back to him, didn't see it, Gu Dayong, who was only a few steps away from him, saw Liu Jin's hesitant complicated expression clearly.

And Xu Xun leaned there, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of these two big men like this, he withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly twice, and saw Zhu Houzhao sitting down at the head of the bed with concern, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't you worry, it's really okay, didn't Imperial Doctor Hu already say it just now, fortunately, most of the copper coin darts were blocked, but it was just a slight poison, just take care of it for a few days." ”

"I don't know you yet, you guy knows how to be strong!"

Zhu Houzhao instinctively raised his slap and slapped Xu Xun's shoulder, but when he saw that he was patting people, he remembered that this was a wounded man now, so he finally closed his hand in a millimeter, but he still couldn't help but say hatefully: "I originally wanted to let you go to the queen with a festival in the future, but something like this happened...... Damn, damn it, I can't wait to kill that dog thief right now! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Dayong and Liu Jin and said, "Gu Dayong, I will leave this matter to you!" Let your Xichang check for me, and you will escort that Jiangshan Fei, as long as you can pry his mouth open, I don't care what punishment you use! The deadline is half a month, if you can't find out the ugly Yinmao, you don't have to do it, the commander of the West Factory, I will change people! ”

Seeing that Gu Dayong bowed his head and agreed, and did not step forward to visit Xu Xun again, he just exited the house, Liu Jin tiptoed out after thinking for a while, and caught up with Gu Dayong and put a familiar hand on his shoulder. ..., "Lao Gu, the emperor is angry, don't take it to heart!" Grabbed Gu Dayong, Liu Jin said with a sincere face, "No matter how you say it, we have been with the emperor for so many years, and our love is always deeper than Xu Xun's, and now the emperor is so angry, if there is no result, this can't blame others." I just inquired, this Jiang Shanfei was put into the house by Xu Xun himself for a while, it can be said that he led the wolf into the house, if you really want the emperor to blame it, I and others will definitely help you speak! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Jin found that he had used the word he hated and was determined to change, and quickly coughed dryly: "All in all, don't be in a hurry." This kind of hard-boiled assassin is not so easy to deal with, stew slowly in warm water, don't be in a hurry to cook, go back and say to Qiu Ju, let his Dongchang also help check and help you. ”

"Thank you then!"

Gu Da burst out four words in his mouth, and when he left Xing'anbo Mansion and got on the horse, he sharply ordered the little fire man who followed him to go to Lingji Hutong, and then whipped it heavily on the horse's stock. A gust of wind galloped out, he didn't know whether he was annoyed or regretful, or regretful, in short, it was mixed, and when he jumped down in front of the Yamen of the West Factory, his black face when he went in with a horsewhip really frightened a lot of fans and captains.

Huitong, who came out quickly, only opened his mouth and called Gu Gonggong, seeing that Gu Dayong didn't pay attention to his meaning at all and went straight inside, he couldn't help complaining in his stomach about Xu Xun who made such a big fuss, and then hurriedly trotted to keep up with Gu Dayong. When he arrived in the public hall, he saw Gu Da sitting down with a tiger face, he hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively: "Father-in-law Gu, but the emperor handed over the case of Pingbeibo's assassination to our Xichang?" Don't worry, as long as that Jiang Shanfei is escorted in, what tricks does he have to keep him, even the things of his previous life can be tortured! ”

Gu Dayong didn't speak, it took a long time before he said word by word: "You don't have to be in a hurry about this matter, wait for the prisoner to be handed over, let people see it strictly first." I only give you one thing now, first give me a good inventory of the relevant people in the Criminal Department. When you go to see Tu Xun, just say the emperor's words, this matter can't be found out within half a month, only I ask, but in the final analysis, this matter is a basket stabbed by his criminal department. If he doesn't confess, he won't want to be the secretary of the criminal department! ”

Huitong heard that Gu Dayong didn't talk about the severe punishment, and directly mentioned the criminal department, knowing that this shrewd Xichang Governor had thought of the key so quickly, and then retreated after agreeing. When he got outside, he saw the first few hundred stalls surrounding, he conveyed Gu Dayong's meaning, and then said with a smile: "All in all, this is a task sent by the emperor, if there is no result, Father-in-law Gu will be unlucky, and we won't be able to run one by one." The Criminal Department has a two-pronged approach, I will go to Tu Shangshu in person, and you will keep an eye on the next people one by one, especially those jailers, you must not let people escape! ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but entrust the important task of investigating the case to Gu Dayong, and he stayed in Xing'an Bofu, and he had to see the imperial doctor change the medicine if he lived or died, Xu Xun couldn't persuade him well, so he could only follow the little emperor helplessly. But Liu Jin didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and found an excuse to say that he was going to the cabinet to tell the cabinet elders that the matter would be retired, and Zhu Houzhao nodded impatiently.

"Go ahead, let them watch those government affairs be done, and you can follow the approval of the red!"

Liu Jin and Gu Dayong left, and Zhu Houzhao's spearhead was transferred from the two imperial doctors to Cao Qian, who was guarding today. He asked a few words with a straight face, seeing that the twenty-five or sixteen young man should deal with it decently, and then thinking about Xu Xun's recommendation just now, he thought for a while and said with a calm face: "If Xu Xun is okay by then, you have a meritorious service today, I will reward you heavily, but if he has a ......"..., "Your Majesty, the minister is really fine, don't curse the minister with any three long and two short!" ”

Although he was willing to suffer this hardship today, Xu Xun really didn't want to hear those words from Zhu Houzhao's mouth again, so he couldn't help but interrupt the little emperor. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized and stopped talking, he turned his head and looked at himself angrily, he, the wounded, actually comforted the visitor. It wasn't until a imperial doctor came in with a medical box, and Zhu Ying and a few girls behind him carried copper basins and white cotton cloths and other things, that he made a gesture and ordered Cao Qian to go out, but when he wanted to drive Zhu Houzhao out, the little emperor refused to leave, and he had to be pestled by the side.

Zhu Hou stared intently at the Imperial Doctor, and saw that he had carefully dismantled the initial layer of white cotton cloth from Xu Xun's body, and then he found that Xu Xun had three wounds on his upper body. None of them are critical, one on the left shoulder, one on the abdomen, and one on the left upper arm, and at first glance the wound is small and deep, which looks a little scary. Seeing Xu Xun squinting his eyes and letting the imperial doctor clean the wound medicine that he had applied at the beginning of the first aid, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and the water in a copper basin turned red in a moment, followed by a second basin, Zhu Houzhao only felt that his heart was getting more and more angry, but he could only endure it.

When Imperial Doctor Hu began to change the dressing on Xu Xun's leg, he strode out without waiting for Xu Xun to open his mouth to drive people away. Cao Qian glanced at Xu Xun, and when he saw that he was signaling, he hurriedly followed. As soon as the two of them opened the curtain and went out, Zhu Houzhao found that several people in the courtyard were talking in a low voice.

Jingyang Bo Shenying and Zhang Yong stood together, Xu Zhenqing and Tang Yin stood together, and on the side was Zhang Cai talking to Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, in addition to Gao Feng and several other eunuchs. Although it is always a little unpleasant to look at Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's two uncles, but at this time, seeing that people are also coming, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that the two of them were not bad, and went down the steps with a slight bow. Seeing that a large number of people were about to salute, he immediately waved his hand and stopped.

"Today outside the world, I will not talk about these false courtesies. I'm glad you've arrived here so quickly, but he's changing his dressing right now, and it's not convenient to see a guest, so it's good that you do what you want. Speaking of this, he looked at Jingyang Bo Shenying and Zhang Yongdao, "Shenying, Xu Xun is only afraid that he can't go to the barracks these days, you take care of military affairs, you do things seriously and carefully, I can trust you." and Zhang Yong...... There is Miao Kui in the Imperial Horse Prison, so you can simply go to Xu Xun to serve as a supervisor. ”

Zhang Yong has been the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch since he got his wish before, and the grudge with Miao Kui has faded, and the pestle is in the posture of the imperial horse eunuch to take over, and he himself feels bored, so the emperor transferred him to the imperial eunuch before, and ordered him to sit in the Shenji camp and other places, but he was happy in his heart. However, compared to the new appointment now, the previous title of the eunuch in the camp was nothing at all.

It must be known that he came and started from the front guard of the government army, and since Xu Xun led the army out of the fortress, he began to Tengda, and after returning to the court to serve as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, he asked people to calculate a hexagram for him. There are two sentences in the number of orders that the famous Luo Zu gave him, saying that he was prosperous because of Xu and Xu and noble, and now he is in the same place with Xu Xun, in his opinion, this is simply destined by God. At this moment, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the slaves and maids will definitely live up to their holy hopes!"

Although Shenying's movements were a beat slower than Zhang Yong's, the words he said were also categorical: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will definitely bring these elites well, live up to the ambition of Pingbei Boqiang, and live up to the emperor's great wish!" ”

These two people said this, and Zhu Houzhao's tense face finally showed a smile. said a few words casually to the two uncles and Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, sent Gao Feng and others back to the palace, and learned from Zhang Cai's mouth that there were many people who came to visit or sent people to visit in person, among which Xu Yanche, Qi Jiliang, Qian Ning, Maqiao and others did not fall behind, and there were quite a few civil officials, but they were all ordered by Xu Xun to block people outside, and ordered them to go back to their places, he couldn't help but praise again: "In the end, it is Xu Xun, I will take his demeanor as a general!" ”…,

However, at this time, Xu Xun, who was praised for his general's demeanor, was bitter. If it weren't for the fact that he had bitten a roll of cloth in his mouth, he would have barely screamed when he reached the last wound on the outside of his thigh. However, this bitter meat plan was designed by himself, and the bitterness was also intended to be eaten by himself, and for this reason, Cao Qian and the others were all injured, large and small, as soon as he came back, the wound was made more terrifying, and if he couldn't stand it at this time, it would be really embarrassing.

Of course, this trip was not in vain!

gritted his teeth and pushed forward to the end, when Imperial Doctor Hu took out the cloth roll from his mouth tremblingly, and cautiously smiled and said that it would be fine to recuperate for a month or two, he took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and nodded.

"Today, there is Dr. Laohu."

Seeing that Imperial Doctor Hu didn't dare to say anything, Xu Xun glanced at Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying hurriedly walked to the dresser on the side, took a few gold bills from the small box above, and handed them to Imperial Doctor Hu with both hands with a smile. Seeing this, Imperial Physician Hu still didn't dare to accept it, so Xu Xun smiled and said: "You still have to come here often these days, your medical skills are very good, and you don't need to change others." ”

Xu Xun's assassination, from the emperor to the nobles, and even the high-grade Da Jue, all came to show up one by one, so Imperial Doctor Hu is naturally a thousand and ten thousand willing to come here often, after all, it is also a great achievement to be cured. Therefore, although he felt that Xu Xun was still a little uncertain about the poison, and it was not so easy to eradicate it, but when he thought of wealth and danger, he reached out and took the few gold bills with great gratitude, and then turned around and bowed with a smile.

"Thank you uncle for trusting, if you don't give up, the lower officials are naturally willing to come over for diagnosis and treatment every day."

Not long after Imperial Physician Hu was led out by Zhu Ying, Zhu Houzhao entered the house again. Seeing the little emperor staring at him, looking up and down, looking left and right, as if he was afraid that he would lose a piece of meat, Xu Xun had to stretch out his arm and make a vigorous posture, because he smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the minister is not a master, but after all, he has been practicing with you for two years, and he will not fall on the bed and not get up because of just an assassin." However, the king of your country has been staying in the minister's house and not leaving, and there must be a lot of discussion outside. Do you want to rest assured, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... You can sneak out every day, so let's hurry back to the palace at this time, otherwise if the queen mother is alarmed, the minister will really not be able to eat and leave. ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that although Xu Xun's face was a little pale, his spirit was still good, and he was amused by these two sentences, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "Anyway, if you don't heal your injuries, don't want to continue to be strong with me!" By the way, this prisoner has been escorted to the West Factory, if you don't have to worry about sending a henchman there to supervise the trial! ”

"Father-in-law Gu is doing things, what is the minister worried about, the emperor is too worried." Xu Xun replied with a smile, and then said sincerely, "It's just that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the minister's guards, and the minister has to defend them." Had it not been for their concerted efforts today, the Assassin would have succeeded. If they really have bad intentions, wouldn't it be good to take advantage of the chaos at that time? Therefore, not only are they without fault, but also meritorious, please ask the emperor for permission, let the ministers include them in the vanguard of the government army, and give them military posts. ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned, he was about to object, but it could be seen that Xu Xun was staring at him, so he had to say angrily: "Okay, you guy is the most generous, you are still the commander of the avant-garde palm print of the government army, you can do this by yourself, but you have to wait until you recover from your injuries!" I turned around and reported to the Ministry of War, I expected that after Liu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took office, he would not dare to card you here. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

It wasn't until Zhu Houzhao reluctantly went that Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief. sent someone to invite Zhang Cai and Tang Yin in, and asked them to deal with the guests who came to visit for him, and when he heard that the outside was gradually clearing, he asked Zhu Ying to hand over Ah Baolai again, and whispered a few words to him. Soon, Ah Bao was ordered to the courtyard where Lu Bi and the others lived. I think this courtyard was guarded at the beginning, and now it is three layers inside and three layers outside. Even if they know that it is a show, the people inside will inevitably be secretly anxious.

Therefore, when Ah Bao opened his voice and called Brother Lu, as Lu Bi came out, other people who were waiting anxiously also poked their heads out of the door, or directly hid in front of the back window of the door and carefully observed the outside. Ah Bao didn't seem to see these people, and smiled honestly at Lu Bi: "Brother Lu, the young master asked for credit for you all in front of the emperor, saying that he would sell those supporting documents for you when he turned around, and all of them were transferred to serious military positions." You put a cold arrow to intercept that Jiangshan Fei, and the credit is the greatest, and you are indispensable to a serious hundred households! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the room, and then many people shouted and shouted happily. And although Lu Bi was one of the participants in this incident, he was still relieved. Bao sent Po out of the yard with a smile, and as he walked back, he couldn't help but clench his fists and wave it fiercely, but in an instant, he thought of another one.

When I wanted to apply for the draft, in addition to those who had been prepared for a long time, there were also many heroes in the northern and southern areas of Ki. In the end, although those people were all gone, if the news of their meritorious service and promotion spread today, I am afraid that some people will soon be tempted! If that Pingbei Bo even calculated this, it would really be a refinement!
