Chapter 509: Dagger
A conflict ended abruptly with Chen Xiao's face, which made people laugh and cry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The poetry will go on normally, but everyone can no longer talk and laugh as before, and once the atmosphere is destroyed, it will be difficult to restore it.
"Brother Bohu, when will Xiao Ge Lao show up?"
Feng Yilun looked at Tang Bohu with a resentful expression, but he came here for the sake of the old Xiaoge.
Now Xiao Ge Lao has not shown up for a long time, and he was beaten by Chen Xiao's thief, if it wasn't for Chen Xiao falling a dog gnawing mud in the end, Feng Yilun's face would have been lost.
"Well, right away, the little pavilion elder will be here right away."
Tang Bohu was in a helpless mood.
What can he do when he encounters such hob meat?
Elder Xiaoge, you better show up quickly.
Perhaps it was Tang Bohu's piety that played a role, and Xie Shen walked from the backyard surrounded by a group of relatives.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and the light and breezy appearance of the old Xiaoge did not look like a big man in the court at all, but like a master outside the world.
"Meet the elder of the little pavilion in the evening!"
Everyone sang to Xie Shen in unison, looking like they were listening respectfully.
In fact, if you simply look at the age, Xie Shen is not much older than them, at most a few years older, and the word late birth is a bit serious.
However, in terms of status, these scholars can indeed only claim to be late in front of Xie Shen.
"Everyone, Xie is just here to join in the fun."
Xie Shen smiled faintly, but he was amazed by all the beings.
Look at the aura of the little pavilion elder, he is worthy of being a master at the level of Zaifu, and the most important thing is that the little pavilion elder is less than thirty, and it is not easy to have this calm and calm.
"Brother Bohu, which talented man has a slight advantage in the poetry meeting?"
Xie Shen squeezed his eyes at Tang Bohu, and Tang Yin immediately understood: "Above the poetry club, all the talents show their talents, and Tang is also difficult to make a decision for a while." ”
Xie Shen smiled and said: "The poetry club focuses on meeting friends with literature, and it doesn't have to be separated. ”
"Xiao Ge is so bad!"
Xie Shen turned his head and saw that it was Feng Yilun and Feng Gongzi who spoke, and he couldn't help frowning.
He had just heard about Feng Gongzi's beating, and he had to keep a low profile if he had been beaten, how much experience it was to rush to be in the limelight like Feng Yilun.
"Although I have a lot of talents in Suzhou, there are only a handful of people who are really at the top level. They always think that they are the most powerful when they disagree with each other, so why not take the opportunity of this poetry meeting to try and see who is the first talent in Suzhou? ”
I have to say that Feng Yilun's proposal is still very tempting.
That's the first talent in Suzhou.
With this name, are you still worried that you can't get along in the Shilin circle?
Although the imperial examination is the only formal procedure for the imperial court to select scholars, the imperial examination does not depend on the article, but also on the character and reputation of the scholar.
The exam paper of a great talent and the exam paper of a mediocre candidate are put together, even if the article itself is similar, the ranking will be worlds apart.
There is no way, the examiner also has to respect public opinion, if those talented people are praised to the sky, if they are not admitted to the Jinshi in the end, I don't know how many officialdom seniors will be slapped in the face.
For example, Xie Shen held a poetry meeting in this Canglang Pavilion, if anyone can win, they will definitely gain a hidden advantage in the imperial examination.
The leader of the poetry world hand-picked by Xiaoge Lao, who dares to let him not win, isn't this a slap in the face of Xiaoge Lao!
Therefore, the first place in this poetry meeting is what all the scholars who come to participate in the meeting want to strive for.
"It's better for Xiaoge to come up with a question, and you can improvise poems based on it. Then the little pavilion came to judge who did a good job. It's fair to everyone. ”
This Feng Yilun is really not a big deal to watch the excitement......
Xie Shen coughed and said, "What do you think? ”
"What Feng Gongzi said is very true, Xiaoge Lao, you can come up with the question."
"That's right, Xiaoge Lao, you can come up with the question, we are all ready!"
Everyone was aroused by Feng Yilun's desire, and they all echoed.
Although this link is not in Xie Shen's plan, it can only be calculated at the moment.
"Okay, then Xie will have a question."
Xie Shen pondered for a moment, and said in a harmonious voice: "Let's take Gusu City as the theme." ”
This is a very common topic, and all the talented people have begun to think about solving the problem.
They were deeply influenced by the Bagu Shiwen, and even followed the rules when writing poems.
The advantage of this is that the poem is square, and the disadvantage is obviously that there is no aura, and it feels very stiff to read.
Xie Shen's mind was not on the poetry meeting, if according to his prediction, shouldn't that assassin pothos appear?
In the hustle and bustle, a son surnamed Wu took the lead in composing a poem. Immediately afterwards, the son surnamed Cui also made a song.
Xie Shen squinted his eyes and swept over the group of scholars.
At that moment, a silver needle shot straight at his neck.
Seeing this, Tang Bohu didn't care to call for help, and slammed his head into Xie Shen's chest, and the silver needle grazed through Xie Shen's face door and shot into the neck of a servant.
The servant was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground, and spasmed in pain.
Xie Shen was knocked down by Tang Bohu, and gasped and said, "There are assassins, catch assassins!" ”
The silver needle was obviously blown out of a bamboo pipe, and it was unthinkable that the assassin would use such a vicious secret weapon.
The scene became chaotic for a while, and the scholars heard that the assassins had been mixed up in the poetry meeting, and everyone was in danger.
They looked left and right, trying to tell who the Assassin was.
This person is too damn bold, right, even the cabinet scholars of the current dynasty dare to assassinate, don't you want to die?
Hundreds of brocade guards poured out of the backyard, and they surrounded the garden, and the Assassins could not escape, and now it was all about catching turtles in the urn.
Xie Shen stood up with Tang Bohu's support and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to hide, in fact, from the beginning, the official knew that you would come to this poetry club." ”
His gaze swept over the crowd of scholars, and finally settled on a plainly dressed son.
This person is obviously a pothos.
Even if she dressed herself like a down-and-out scholar, even if she had a fake beard glued on, Xie Shen could still see it at a glance.
"Dog officer, suffer death!"
The pothos was discovered by Xie Shen but did not intend to be caught, she threw away the blowpipe in her hand, pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, and jumped towards Xie Shen with a step on her feet.
This blow to the pothos threw his body out, and he was going to fight to the death.
"Slut, you dare to assassinate the adult!"
Pei Qianhu was furious, jumped out of the brocade guards, and protected Xie Shen.
Pei Qianhu pulled out his saber and slashed at the pothos, but the pothos did not dodge but slammed the dagger in his hand and slammed it down.
At this time, the pothos is on top and Pei Qianhu is below, if the two sides do not dodge in any way, the result is that Pei Qianhu is pierced in the cheek with a dagger, and the pothos is split into two pieces by the saber.
Hiss, what a ruthless mother-in-law!
Pei Qianhu had to adjust his position slightly, and used his saber to block the fatal stab of the green pothos!
......
......
The horizontal knife and the dagger collided with each other with a crisp clang.
Just when Pei Qianhu thought that she had defused the nidal blow of the pothos, she took advantage of the momentum and rolled forward, and a beautiful front flip crossed Pei Qianhu's defense line.
Not good!
Pei Qianhu immediately reacted, this thorn in the pothos was actually just a trick, and her real purpose was to be cautious!
It's a pity that it's too late now, the pothos is taking advantage of the situation to turn forward, and Pei Qianhu can't catch up with her speed no matter what!
He could only watch the pothos stab at Xie Shen, how could Xie Shen avoid this blow?
A smile tugged at the corner of the pothos mouth.
Finally, she was finally able to avenge King Ning. Although he can't kill the dog emperor, killing this dog official can be regarded as a mission.
Her dagger had already been quenched with poison, and as long as it pierced Xie Shen's flesh, the venom would flow down the blood into her heart, ensuring that Xie Shen would die of poison.
Even if Hua Tuo is alive, it is impossible to remove this poison.
But she also saw a strange smile on the corner of Xie Shen's mouth......
Why is he laughing?
The green pothos was puzzled, and at this moment, Xie Shen pulled out a crossbow from behind his back.
He gently pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out of the air, piercing through the heart of the pothos.
Pothos is like a goose with broken wings, falling straight to the ground.
Why?
How could he carry a crossbow with him? Did he already know that he would come back and kill him?
"You must be very puzzled why I carry my crossbow with me, or on such an elegant occasion as the poetry club."
Xie Shen walked up to the green pothos and looked at the assassin in front of him with pity, who was about to die.
"It's actually very simple, because this poetry club is what I used to lure you in."
The green pothos glared at Xie Shen in disbelief, and her heart was extremely sad and indignant.
How is this possible? How could he have calculated everything in the plan?
"You finally escaped, and judging from normal logic, it is indeed unlikely that you will come back."
Xie Shen paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "But there are some things that can't be considered from normal logic. As a dead soldier raised by King Ning, I'm afraid you have already taken your personal life lightly, right? If you were given a chance to kill me with your own hands, I am sure you would come without hesitation. Of course, you are not stupid, you can't drill ordinary traps, so you have to set up a more natural situation. Poetry is naturally the best choice. ”
A hint of pity flashed in Xie Shen's eyes and said, "If you are a little more sensible, you can still see the clues." But you have been blinded by hatred and are unlikely to analyze the situation rationally. As for this crossbow, I always carry it with me for self-defense. Oh... That night was an exception. ”
Blood continued to seep out of Pothos's chest, and she trembled all over, and her face turned pale.
She was unwilling, unwilling to die like this.
"Actually, the official was also puzzled by who sent you at first. But your Nanchang accent betrayed you. ”
Xie Shen spread his hands and solved the last mystery: "At this special point in time, an assassin from Nanchang was specially designed to assassinate the Son of Heaven and the official, except for Ning Wang Yudang, the official couldn't think of any other possibility. ”
After hearing all the explanations, the brilliance in the pothos' eyes gradually faded, and finally the pupils dilated and dilated, announcing that she was completely dead.
"It's a pity, in fact, I didn't want to shoot you directly, but your attack is too fierce, if I don't do it, I'll die."
Xie Shen glanced at Pei Qianhu, who immediately ordered a few brocade guards to drag the body down with a guilty face.
The scholars in the garden stood there in a daze, completely puzzled by how such a skilled assassin could be mixed into the poetry club.
And Xiao Ge Lao seemed to be in control of everything, luring the assassin step by step.
In the end, when Xiao Ge Lao took out his crossbow and shot the assassin, almost all the soldiers looked stupid.
In this sense, this poem is entirely designed to seduce the Assassins, so what is the point of this leader?
After this incident, when it comes to the Canglang Pavilion Poetry Club, people will only remember the assassin of Xiaoge Lao Zhi, and who else will remember who the leader of the Poetry Club is?
"Today's events have frightened you."
Xie Shen glanced at the scholars and said with a smile: "If there is a chance in the future, this official will set up another elegant collection, and he will only talk about Fengyue poetry at that time." ”
The scholars don't believe in the words of the elder of Xiaoge, his old man's mind is unpredictable, if there is another elegant gathering, I'm afraid something big will happen, right?
Pressing these and not mentioning them for the time being, he said that Xie Shen reported the news of the assassin's ambush to Emperor Zhengde, and the emperor was overjoyed.
King Ning's attitude was very resolute, that is, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and kill all the lines of King Ning, even with his dead soldiers.
But I didn't expect that there would be a lot of sparse and sparse fish.
The assassin still held back, sneaking all the way from Nanchang to Suzhou, pretending to be a prostitute and trying to assassinate him.
That is, Zhu Houzhao did not choose pothos when choosing a girl. Otherwise, if this woman is really left alone with him, God knows if he will be stabbed to death by this mother-in-law.
"Sir has really made another great contribution this time, this assassin has been ambushed, and a stone in my heart has also landed."
Although Zhu Houzhao is absurd and debauched, he is still a feudal king in the final analysis, and his main concern is naturally whether his country is stable or not.
Therefore, as soon as King Ning rebelled, he mobilized the most elite army to quell the rebellion, in order not to give King Ning any chance to rise to power.
"Your Majesty has praised it, these will be done by ministers. What's more, this assassin also wants to assassinate the minister, if it weren't for her, the minister would also have trouble sleeping. ”
Xie Shen said helplessly, this assassin is a big threat to him and Emperor Zhengde, if he can't get rid of her as soon as possible, Xie Shen really can't sleep well.
In my heart, I sighed that the warriors of the Ming Dynasty were still very professional, and once they were favored by the Lord, they would swear to follow them.
That assassin was probably also bribed by King Ning's subtle tricks, so he would not hesitate to die for King Ning.
"Haha, yes. The Assassin would have assassinated Mr. as well. ”
As soon as Zhu Houzhao thought of this, he immediately laughed out loud.
He patted Xie Shen on the shoulder and said, "In this way, Mr. is working so hard to protect himself, so can I save a reward?" ”
"Your Majesty......"
Xie Shen looked at Zhu Houzhao with a black line on his face, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, Emperor, can't you be a little upright?
"I'm kidding you, look at the sir."
Zhu Houzhao shrugged his shoulders and said, "But if you make such a fuss, my good interest is almost defeated, and it's really boring." What else do you think there is to do in Suzhou? ”
......
