Liu Kun shouted, and saw more than 200 Praetorian Guards rushing out from all directions with a "...... uproar", surrounding Chang Xiulan in the center. These people are all fierce-eyed, covered in armor, and have swords and guns in their hands. They are all martial arts masters carefully selected by the leaders of the forbidden army.

Chang Xiulan scolded Liu Kun angrily: "Old thief, if you don't help, forget it, why be so vicious!" Okay, since you don't let me see the emperor, then don't blame this girl for breaking in! ”

Chang Xiulan swung her knife and ran to Liu Kun to chop, the forbidden army blocked it with a horizontal gun, protected Liu Kun, and dozens of people came over to swing their knives and chop, Xiulan dodged around, she was not chopped, she didn't use the blade to hurt people, only slapped with the back of the knife. The two sides fought more than 100 times, and the Praetorian Guard was staggered by Xiulan, and jumped up again to continue the battle. Xiulan saw that these people were very difficult, so she jumped out of the circle and ran away. The Praetorian Guards were all conscientious people, and when they saw Xiulan running to the imperial study, they hurriedly picked up their swords and guns and ran away to intercept them. Xiulan walked around and just found the outside of the imperial study, and suddenly there was a circle of royal forest troops in front of her. At this time, there was the Imperial Forest Army in front and the Praetorian Guard in the back, and together there were 500 people. Miss Chang dodged left and right, and did not confront them head-on, this is exactly her smart way of playing: if she fights hard, she can't beat so many martial arts masters with Xiulan's strength alone.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and Lu Guogong Cheng were talking in the imperial study, when they suddenly heard the sound of weapons colliding outside and the shouting of soldiers, Li Yuan said to the personal eunuch: "Xiao Linzi, go and see what is happening outside, why is it so noisy?" ”

This eunuch's name is Lin Zhong, in his forties, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, who is usually shrewd and capable. He is very methodical and very appreciated by the Son of Heaven. As soon as he heard the emperor's words, Lin Zhong bowed down and said, "Honor! Then he withdrew to inspect what was going on, and came back and said, "Your Majesty! There's a female Assassin in the palace, fighting the Praetorian Guards and the Imperial Guard! ”

The Son of Heaven said, "Oh? Who is the female assassin going to assassinate? ”

Lin Zhong said: "I heard that he wants to see Your Majesty. ”

"What? See me? Could it be that she is going to assassinate me? ”

Cheng Biting Jin saw that the Son of Heaven was furious. Hurriedly asked Lin Zhong: "Manager Lin, do you know what the female assassin's martial arts are?" ”

Lin Zhong said: "Our family doesn't know any martial arts, but seeing that she only fights and doesn't hurt people, she is definitely not a green forest fanatic!" ”

Cheng Yanjin arched his hand to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty! In the opinion of the minister, that female assassin must have some grievances to tell you, and she must have made such a decision! ”

The Son of Heaven said, "That is so." You two go out with me to see what is going on. ”

Lin Zhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! It's dangerous outside, be careful of hurting your dragon's body! ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's so good that I also know a little martial arts!" ”

The three of them walked to the outside of the imperial study while talking, and the Son of Heaven ordered the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army to stop fighting, and carefully looked at Chang Xiulan. He said, "Girl, why did you risk your life to break into the palace and fight the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Guard?" ”

Chang Xiulan saw that the person who was talking was wearing a goose yellow nine-dragon robe, a goose yellow embroidered dragon crown on his head, and goose yellow embroidered dragon boots on his feet, presumably it must be the current emperor's majesty. Xiulan hurriedly asked: "Is this uncle who is speaking the emperor today?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Lin Zhong shouted.

The Son of Heaven waved his hand and ordered Lin Zhong to retreat, and said in his heart: "This girl speaks so kindly. Then he smiled and said, "Yes, I am the current emperor!" ”

Xiulan hurriedly fell down, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty." Please forgive the sin of the people's daughter trespassing on the forbidden palace! ”

The Son of Heaven said, "Well, I have made an exception today and pardoned your capital sin. Say, what do you have to say to me? ”

Xiulan thanked the emperor for not killing. Say: "Majesty! The people's daughter wants to cry out for Li Huaiyu, the son of Luoyang! ”

As soon as Gaozu Li Yuan heard these three words of Li Huaiyu, he was angry, his face sank, and he said, "Hmph! That Li Huaiyu and the other four thieves made a big fuss in the school field, killed a thousand elite soldiers, destroyed the scientific expedition first, and occupied the mountain as the king in Wufengling. beheaded one of my generals, and let the court lose 5,000 elite soldiers again. It has long been a heinous crime and an unforgivable one. Why do you have to cry out for him? ”

"Your Majesty, you don't know, you don't know! This Li Huaiyu is not Li Huaiyu! ”

"What? Could it be that there are still two Li Huaiyu in the world? ”

"The folk girl doesn't know who the thief Li Huaiyu is, but the folk girl knows that this Li Huaiyu in the prison is just a weak scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, so it is absolutely impossible to make a big fuss about the school field and occupy the mountain as the king. I beg your majesty! ”

At this time, Liu Kun came over to see Chang Xiulan kneeling to complain, he hurriedly ran to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to this demon girl's nonsense. Quickly order her to be killed, or there will be endless trouble! ”

Cheng Yanjin saw that Liu Kun was coming, guessing that this old boy was uneasy and kind, and when he heard Liu Kun persuade the emperor to kill the girl who shouted injustice to Li Huaiyu, he hurriedly said: "Long live, since this girl said that Li Huaiyu in the prison is not the thief Li Huaiyu, then let's put Li Huaiyu in the prison for recognition." If what this girl said is true, you will let go of the wronged Li Huaiyu, which just reflects your wisdom and love for the people like a son; If what she says is not true, then you will immediately order that they both be beheaded together, so that they will be convinced of death. ”

The Son of Heaven felt that what Cheng Yanjin said was reasonable, so he said: "Okay, as long as there is no criminal Li Huaiyu in prison, I will immediately issue an order to release him." Come on, quickly bring Li Huaiyu here, and I want to interrogate him. ”

The chamberlain received the order and did not dare to slack off, turned around and led the people away. There was not much time, so those people escorted Li Huaiyu to the outside of the imperial study.

Cheng Yanjin looked over and saw that this person was really not his righteous son Li Huaiyu, so he put his mind at ease: "Haha... Lord Liu, can you come over and see if this person is Li Huaiyu, the owner of Wufengling? ”

Liu Kun looked over and saw that this person was slightly taller, and he was born with a very good face, which was completely different from his son-killing enemy Li Huaiyu. But when he thought about it, the Li Huaiyu in front of him must have something to do with his son-killing enemy Li Huaiyu, otherwise how could they be people with the same name, surname and hometown? So he turned around and returned to the emperor, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although this person is not Li Huaiyu, a prisoner of the imperial court, he must have something to do with that thief, and we can't let him go if we say anything." ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty!" Lord Liu is eager to avenge his son, which is understandable! However, you are the honor of the Ninety-Five, how can you break your word to a girl? Weichen thinks that these two should be released, otherwise it will be difficult to convince everyone! ”

After listening to Cheng Biting Jin's words, the emperor thought to himself: "I just promised this girl that as long as Li Huaiyu in the prison is not Li Huaiyu from Wufengling, I will let them out of the palace!" Now that this person is really not a thief in Wufengling, then I must not break my word. Thinking of this, he gave an order: "Come on, take these two out of the palace immediately!" ”

"No need!" Chang Xiulan stood up and untied the shackles on Li Huaiyu's body, and the two of them both fell down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing you!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

The emperor waved them up and withdrew the soldiers. Chang Xiulan carried Li Sheng on her back, stomped into the air and disappeared. The emperor and everyone were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that there was such a powerful woman in the world.

Chang Li and Li returned to the inn to rest for a night, and registered Li Gongzi the next day. A few days later, the scientific examination was opened, the loess mat road in Chang'an City, the water was poured on the street, and the people entered the palace for the examination. After three days, the palace examination ended, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the release of the list.

The emperor had checked the articles of the tributes, and there were three articles that were the most exquisite, and they were well organized in the discussion of governing the country, and he asked Xiao Yu, the left servant: "Who wrote these three articles?" ”

Xiao Yu said: "This is the masterpiece of Li Huaiyu, the son of Luoyang. ”

When the emperor heard Li Huaiyu's three words, his eyes lit up: "Oh? I don't want Li Huaiyu to be so talented and rich. ”

"This person is indeed a pillar of the country, does Your Majesty think he has the qualifications to be the champion?"

"This is the champion." At that moment, the emperor personally appointed Li Huaiyu as the champion of the new department, and gave him a champion mansion, and allowed him to boast about the official for three days.

As soon as the gold list was announced, the top three jinshi in this department received orders to enter the Taiji Hall to listen to the seal. Feng Deyi, the secretary of the ministry, took the decree to the inn to announce the decree to Li Huaiyu and reported the good news. Li Huaiyu was very excited to receive the holy decree, and he was ecstatic for a while, his heart was surging, and he shed tears of relief and bitterness. He never imagined that he would one day win the top prize.

Li Huaiyu worked hard and suffered several disasters along the way to the capital, but he finally won the title of champion with his unremitting self-improvement and indomitable spirit. This is really: where there is a will, there is a way; No pain, no gain.

Li Huaiyu came to the Taiji Palace, and the emperor Yubi personally named him as the champion of the new department, and gave him a champion mansion, allowing him to boast about the official for three days.

The champion of the new branch entered the champion mansion with the secretary of Shangshu Feng Deyi, wearing a flower feather on the top, wearing a vermilion python robe, a jade belt around the waist, a big red flower on the chest, and stepping on the thick-soled boots, looking heroic and sassy. The son left the Zhuangyuan Mansion and rode on a tall horse, with soldiers hugging him in front of him and behind him, sounding the gong to open the way. Chang Xiulan guards in front of the horse, and the drummers play and play, playing music to help the fun. On the street, the loess mat road, the clear water sprinkles the street, the people who watch are three layers inside, and the outer three layers are crowded on both sides, and everyone who sees it is envious. Passing by the shop pù business, people fired firecrackers to congratulate them.

On the third day, Li Huaiyu visited several ministers of the DPRK and China. After all the things were done, he lived in the Zhuangyuan Mansion and waited for the Son of Heaven to give him an official knighthood.

That night, the moonlight was sprinkled all over the earth, and Li Gongzi stood in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, and had a lot of thoughts for a while. Thinking that although his dream of being the champion has been realized, but he doesn't even have a relative around him, he really seems to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle one by one. He didn't know how his mother was doing now, he didn't know what happened to his eldest brother, and he didn't know where Wu Fengying and Zhang Meiying, who he was thinking about day and night, were now. The more Childe thinks about it, the more sad he becomes, and he hopes that everyone he misses can be reunited with him as soon as possible. (To be continued)
