In the martial arts novels or martial arts movies of the previous life, there are often the kind of heroic men galloping the rivers and lakes, they drink the strongest wine, ride the fastest horses, hold the sharpest knives, and kill the most deserving people, the so-called "kill one person in ten steps, and leave no line for a thousand miles", whether it is the underworld or the white way, they can always uphold the righteousness and blood, silently adhere to a certain belief for a lifetime, and even sacrifice their lives, such as Guo Jing and Huang Rong who stick to Xiangyang City as a husband and wife, and Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Courtyard who retreated from the Khitan army alone...... In the turbid and chaotic times, there are always a few people shining, they are born recklessly, their lives are like mustard, but they do not flinch in the face of national righteousness, with the skills they have learned, they are like moths fighting fires and acting as millions of enemy troops. These people, the people call them "chivalry", Mr. Jin said, "the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people."

Maybe he read too many martial arts novels in his previous life, Xiao Fan still admires the people in the rivers and lakes, and these days he ordered the Jinyi guards to patrol the streets and suppress the people in the rivers and lakes to make trouble, but it was completely forced by the times and had to do it as a last resort.

But he never expected that the legendary duel between the gods and lakes would be like this...... In the middle of the clearing, the two men in the rivers and lakes are still talking about their oral moves, fighting back and forth, and the onlookers in the martial arts from time to time let out earth-shattering cheers, sending a sentence of praise such as exquisite and sharp moves, and the scene is more noisy than playing monkey plays.

"This ...... Called a life-and-death duel? Xiao Fan felt that his outlook on life had been completely subverted: "It turned out to be ...... This is the so-called rivers and lakes! ”

Cao Yi smiled strangely: "Don't you think their duel is fierce? ”

Xiao Fan nodded: "It's really intense, and I found that the rivers and lakes are not as mysterious as I imagined, according to their duel method, I think I can also go to the rivers and lakes, and it is not difficult to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes within a month......"

Cao Yi's face was a little strange: "Uh...... In fact, you don't have to mess around, you're already famous......"

"What do you mean?"

"Ahem, your name is already very loud in the rivers and lakes, and you have been listed in the first place in the weapons spectrum of the rivers and lakes by the good deeds, and the people in the rivers and lakes have also given you a very domineering nickname......"

Xiao Fan's mood was agitated, and he was surprised: "What nickname?" ”

“…… Monopoly is not satisfied. Cao Yi couldn't help laughing, and said seriously.

Xiao Fan's surprised expression suddenly disappeared, and after a while, he jumped up as if he had been bitten by a dog, and said angrily: "Which bastard gave me the nickname?" ”

"Now that the news has spread, there is no way to trace the initiators...... Cao Yi said with a straight face.

Xiao Fan was silent for a while, flicked his sleeves stupidly, turned his head and left.

"What a nickname, it's just childish! We are the ministers of the court with status, what are we fooling with them! ”

Along the way, I met a lot of men in short shirts, their faces were hideous, and they were definitely not good at first glance. However, their demeanor was very polite, just like a great Confucian who had read poetry and books for many years, Xiao Fan even saw two five big and three thick men gently poking each other with orchid fingers on each other's bodies, thinking that they were doing business, but Cao Yi explained that the two were quarreling, and the quarrel was very fierce, and they had already started fighting...... Walking through a Xishi street that crossed Beijing, Xiao Fan finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"These people are the martial artists who came to participate in the imperial court martial arts examination?"

"Yes."

Xiao Fan said with a calm face: "Why do I think they are here to apply for a eunuch?" One by one, it seems that the East is undefeated, and there are such a bunch of things in the huge rivers and lakes? Could it be that they all practiced the Sunflower Treasure Book? ”

Cao Yi said with a smile: "They were originally heroic men who drank and ate meat, and splashed blood for five steps without saying a word, but Brother Xiao, you posted a list of articles all over the city, these heroic men were afraid of touching the moldy head of our Jinyiwei, so they had to obediently pick up their tails and be people, and one by one they became the same as they are now, like his mother's rabbit, or how could others list you as the first in the weapons spectrum of the rivers and lakes, a list of men all over the rivers and lakes scared the birds into their stomachs and pretended to be girls, who else in the world today except you?" You're not number one, who is number one? ”

Xiao Fan looked up to the sky and sighed, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who had always been admired by him in his previous life, who knew that in this life, he was castrated by himself in his own life, which is really a big sin...... I wanted to order the removal of all kinds of prohibitions on the heroes, so that they could be happy and carefree heroes in Beijing, but after thinking about it, they were happy, and the security of Jingshi was not optimistic, and these lawless guys who drank too much might really really do the crazy thing of the decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, what was Zhu Yunwen's face at that time? Where does he have the face of the commander of the brocade guard?

People who are far away from the rivers and lakes can be lawless, and those who live high in the temple have to take care of them.

"You still can't be too happy to be a human being, it's easy to be happy and sad, it's better to be a little restrained, let them continue to hold the bird in their belly." Xiao Fan snorted.

Since they are willing to participate in martial arts, it means that they all want to earn a future for themselves and gain fame, no matter how great their ability is? Xiao Fan, when he went to the Golden Palace to see Zhu Yunwen, didn't he have to kneel down and kowtow honestly?

"Brother Cao, send someone to ask those heroes, there are still hundreds of eunuchs in the palace, and they urgently need to be replenished, the eunuch profession has a great future, and the treatment is good, and the highest can be nine thousand years old, which is really much better than being a martial artist, I think these heroes have great potential, ask them if they are willing to do it, and if they are willing to enter the palace, they will send a sunflower treasure book after waving a knife from the palace, first come, first served."

The main gate of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping.

Monk Daoyan stood at the door with a pale face, smiling goodbye to several big men dressed as Mongolians.

Now Dao Yan's expression is quite haggard, the original wisp of flowing green beard under his chin has gradually disappeared, his chin is smooth and white, and his body, which is already thin as a sick tiger, now seems to be more and more weak, as slender and sickly as a weak willow in the wind, but his eyes still exude a gloomy and fierce light as usual, and the resentment and jealousy contained in his eyes are a little more powerful than before.

Covering his mouth and coughing lightly, Dao Yan smiled and said a few words to several Mongolians, and then handed them off.

The Mongolian laughed a few times, raised his legs and stepped on the fast horse tied in front of the palace gate, and after a few whips, several people galloped towards the Beiping North City Gate.

It wasn't until their figures disappeared that Dao Yan's smile gradually retracted, and a glint of resentment shot out of his eyes.

A burly figure appeared behind Dao Yan, and said lightly: "Duoyan Sanwei, it's not so easy to borrow, right?" ”

Dao Yan nodded dejectedly and sighed: "The poor monk is really ashamed to have the trust of the prince......

"What conditions did he make?"

Speaking of this, there was a hint of anger in Dao Yan's tone, and he said: "This person is more greedy than a jackal, and he actually opened his mouth to give him 10,000 taels of gold every year, so that he is willing to lead his Duoyan Sanwei to return to the prince and serve the prince......"

Zhu Di, who was behind Dao Yan, was also taken aback when he heard this: "Ten thousand taels of gold? ”

Dao Yan said coldly: "And it's 10,000 taels a year, and not a penny less." ”

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Don't you think that the king's gold fell from the sky? ”

Dao Yan sighed and said, "His appetite this time is so big that the poor monk doesn't know how to talk to him......"

Zhu Di said viciously: "It's just a few face-to-face three guards, if this king doesn't have their help, wouldn't it be a big deal?" Hum! Don't want it! ”

Dao Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, don't be impulsive!" Duoyan Sanwei is brave in battle, and they are all cavalry, which is most suitable for charging on the plains, if they confront the imperial army on flat terrain, they can be ten at a time, such a brave force, how can the prince abandon it? ”

Zhu Di snorted: "Buy them for 10,000 taels of gold every year? Now that the king is about to have a big event, the palace has a lot of expenses, how can it be possible to free up 10,000 taels of gold? If this money is spent, the king's affairs will be nullified! ”

Dao Yan said bitterly: "Lord Wang, if there is no Duoyan Sanwei, I am afraid that the outcome of the prince's major events will be really unpredictable...... There is news from the Beijing Division, under the strong advocacy of Xiao Fan, the court has adopted the proposal of reforming the military system, and now the entire Ming Dynasty is commanding the envoys to change the French military system, and the Son of Heaven issued an order to order all the registered soldiers not to engage in agriculture for the time being, and every time they are dedicated to training, and they are opening martial arts and running martial arts halls......

Zhu Di listened quietly, but his face became more and more angry, and he was silent for a while, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Fan!" It's Xiao Fan again! Where did this king offend him? He has to get along with this king! ”

Dao Yan mentioned Xiao Fan's name, and his face became more and more pale: "This shameless and despicable villain only knows that he is plotting behind his back, and the poor monk's dignified husband was actually sent by him to assassin the poor monk alive...... Scrapped! This vendetta ...... The hatred is as deep as the sea, and it is not the same as the sky! ”

Saying that, Dao Yan covered his mouth, coughed violently, and a sickly flush appeared on his pale face, Zhang Sanfeng's kick at the beginning implied internal strength, which not only abolished Dao Yan's life, but also shocked his internal organs, causing him to suffer extremely serious internal injuries, which have not healed so far.

Zhu Di saw that Dao Yan was emotional, and hurriedly said with relief: "Sir, don't worry, one day this king will achieve great things, and this king will tie Xiao Fan's evil thief to you, and let you ......cut him to pieces."

Dao Yan gasped for a long time, gradually calmed down, and continued, "...... Prince, the imperial court changed the military system, practiced the army at night, opened martial arts, ran a martial arts hall, and elected generals for the country, this move is extremely unfavorable to us, such as today's people after all Fengjianwen is orthodox, the Son of Heaven gave an order, who doesn't want to serve the court and give himself a reputation? As soon as the martial arts and martial arts hall opened, the world's talents entered the Son of Heaven, the strength of the other, and our winning margin was much lower, so the prince must hold Duoyan Sanwei in his hands at all costs, with that strong team, the prince's major events can have the hope of success......"

Zhu Di thought about it for a while, and also knew that Duoyan Sanwei had an important surname for him, so he sighed: "10,000 taels of gold, how can this king get ......?"

Dao Yan licked his dry lips and said firmly: "The poor monk will go to meet with Tulu Kuchaer a few more times, and press his price, these Mongolians are all people who forget their righteousness, they only recognize gold and silver in their eyes, and they don't recognize affection, I heard that sometimes they don't even buy King Ning, only if they feed their greed, they can give you their lives." ”

Zhu Di sighed and was silent.

If you want to achieve great things, there are many difficulties, such as gold and silver, grain and grass, soldiers, ordnance, logistics, and ...... In the past two years, Zhu Di feels as if he has aged a lot, and sometimes he even has a ridiculous feeling, he has done so much and lived so tired, what is it for? Is that dragon chair in the Jingshi Golden Hall so comfortable to sit on?

However, now the arrow is on the string, Zhu Yunwen wants to cut the domain, he Zhu Di wants to usurp the throne, although the thoughts of the two have not been made public, but they know each other well, they are destined to be enemies, it is impossible to turn back, the current situation for Zhu Di, is no longer a usurpation or not, but a struggle for survival, since ancient times, the king has been defeated, he Zhu Di has lost, I am afraid that he has not even had the opportunity to be a rogue, this gamble he has put all his family name on the gambling table, either successfully usurped the throne and became the emperor, or the head is different, there is no third choice.

Dao Yan coughed twice and said, "Lord Wang, don't think about it, just talk about it slowly, there is still a very important matter, and the prince must do it as soon as possible......

Zhu Di came back to his senses and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Dao Yan stared at Zhu Di and said slowly: "Find a way to rescue the three princes trapped in the capital division!" ”

Zhu Di was taken aback and said, "You mean Zhu Gaochi and the three of them?" ”

Dao Yan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The prince sees that the move is imminent, if the three princes are still in the hands of the Son of Heaven, the prince will inevitably have a lot of scruples in his actions, and under the rat taboo, it will also be extremely unfavorable to the morale of my Yan army, besides, the prince only has three sons, if he is killed by the Son of Heaven because of the prince's actions, in the future, the prince will succeed in great things and ascend the throne as the emperor, who will inherit your orthodoxy?" Therefore, the three princes must be saved, and they must be rescued as soon as possible! ”

"Yes...... It is said that they are currently trapped in the Jingshi Courtyard, guarded by Jinyi Wei at night, and they can't move at all, how can this king save them? ”

The corners of Dao Yan's mouth hooked up a sinister smile: "Xiao Fan is not only a smart person in this world, everyone can calculate, each has its own ingenious differences, he will cause trouble to the east, do you know that the poor monk will not be stiff?" ”

After the construction of the Ministry of Industry, the lecture hall next to the royal horse farm in the western suburbs of Beijing has been built, the lecture hall is located on the east side of the racecourse, covering an extremely wide area, although it is only a temporary row of wooden houses, but in a hurry it is also quite elegant, the Ministry of Industry Yan Shangshu obviously does not want to offend Xiao Fan, the construction of the lecture hall is hard, do not dare to cut corners at all, and the speed of completion is amazing.

This martial arts hall, which can accommodate thousands of people, is the first military school presided over by the emperor himself in the Ming Dynasty, although it looks simple, but it is very important to the historical significance of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time that the middle-level generals selected and transferred from all over the country rushed to the Beijing Division to lecture on martial arts with excitement, the martial arts that had been prepared for a long time was about to begin.

In the afternoon, Xiao Fan, who was busy in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, received a decree from the eunuch, and the Son of Heaven ordered Xiao Fan to enter the palace immediately to meet him.

Xiao Fan didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly cleaned up a little, and followed the eunuch into the palace.

After passing through the noon gate, passing through the inner treasury divisions, and entering the Wenhua Palace, Xiao Fan picked up the hem of the official robe and was just about to kneel and worship, his eyes swept inadvertently, but he saw Zhu Yunwen's face pale, and he was still wrapped in a thick quilt on a hot day, and sat weakly on the dragon chair, under the bridge of his delicate nose, two lines of unclear snot kept flowing out, Zhu Yunwen sneezed hard from time to time, and then sucked hard, and with a snort, the snot was sucked in again, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Xiao Fan was taken aback: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and glanced at him lazily, and said weakly: "Xiao Shiyu, can you stop asking nonsense?" I don't look sick, am I in confinement? ”

Xiao Fan laughed dryly.

Zhu Yunwen snorted hard again, and said, "The things about the martial arts hall are almost ready, right?" ”

"Everything is ready, now the hundreds of households in various places, the general banner and other middle-level generals are already on the way to the Beijing Division, after ten days, the martial arts hall can start to teach the generals, at that time, please Your Majesty come to the martial arts hall in person, give them a lecture, there is the Son of Heaven as the host of the martial arts hall, those generals will be loyal to Your Majesty, and they will be willing to be your Majesty's envoys all their lives."

Zhu Yunwen nodded lazily and said, "Okay, say a few words, this is not difficult, you can inform me when the time comes......"

"Yes."

"What's going on with Kaiwuju?"

"Ming said that the first test of martial arts, first test martial arts, and then test the art of war, after several rounds of screening, the last few remaining winners compete for the top three in martial arts, that is, the selection of martial champions."

"Well, I called you here today for this matter, the selection of the martial champion, I want to see it in person, I have seen a lot of literary champions, but I haven't seen any of them......"

"This ...... Your Majesty's body doesn't matter, right? ”

Zhu Yunwen sighed, looked a little depressed, and said: "Then wait for my illness to recover before choosing the martial champion, anyway, I must see it." ”

Xiao Fan glanced at him and said carefully: "Why is Your Majesty so well but sick?" ”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to be mentioned as sad, and after a long sigh, his eyes blinked twice, and he was a little moist.

"Don't mention it, after the morning court was dispersed today, I was kicked into the moat and ......"

Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "Who dares to kick the son of the river today?" Want to rebel? Your Majesty, who kicked you? Did the palace guards take him down? ”

"Be quiet! Be quiet! Zhu Yunwen hurriedly shook his hands: "I'm not angry, why are you angry?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is a great rebellion, it is a matter of national system, and it must be ...... By the way, how did you run to the moat after you dispersed? That's out of town. ”

Zhu Yunwen suddenly showed a shy expression, was silent for a while, and said softly: "I...... I finally asked Huang Ying out today......"

"Oh-" Xiao Fan suddenly realized: "And then?" ”

And then ...... I confided my ...... to her face Purpose. ”

Xiao Fan winked at him: "She promised you?" ”

Zhu Yunwen's expression suddenly darkened, he was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "If she promised me, would she still kick me into the river?" ”

Xiao Fan was surprised: "It turned out that she kicked you into the river...... No wonder you're not angry, this girl is too ruthless, right? If you don't agree, you won't agree, why do you still kick you? ”

Zhu Yunwen cried and said with a sad face: "That's it, I asked her so too......

"What did she say?"

She said...... She immediately shook her head and refused when she heard me express her feelings, and she was afraid that shaking her head was not enough to express the intensity of her refusal, so she shook her whole body, and finally jumped up unconsciously and gave me a trick of 'dragon tail swing'......"

Xiao Fan opened his mouth wide, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Why don't you invite her to see her......"

Zhu Yunwen's eyes blinked twice, and finally burst into tears, and he said sadly: "Xiao Shi reads...... I can see it today, it turns out that she and I are both in love......"

Xiao Fan hurriedly interrupted: "...... Your Majesty, you are the only one who fell into the river. ”

"Love! Not a moat! ”

"Oh, you're all in love......"

Zhu Yunwen looked up at the sky, tears couldn't stop falling, and said quietly: "I love her......"

"What about her?"

"She loves another ......"
