"Open!"

In front of the mountain temple, Xiao Fan pointed to luck, and with a low cry in his mouth, a wisp of pitiful energy came out of his fingers, pointing to a knot loosely tied on a wooden stake a foot away.

The knot didn't react, and it didn't move.

Xiao Fan was not discouraged, contemplated, and then pointed to luck.

"Open again!"

The knot still doesn't respond.

"Open again!"

"Keep going!"

"I'll change my position!"

Xiao Fan's fingers were cramped, and the knot was still motionless, looking very backbone.

Xiao Fan looked a little angry, rubbed his fingers and stood for a while, then flicked his sleeves stupidly, turned around and left, and threw down a very lofty sentence.

"What a broken wishful meaning, don't learn! It's boring! ”

Tai Xuan watched coldly, and when he saw Xiao Fan say give up, he couldn't help but stomp his feet painfully: "Criminal, criminal!" If you give up when you encounter a small setback, how can you become a big thing? This is your way of saving your life in the future......"

"Saving your life depends on your brain, if you encounter thousands of troops, one person throws a kitchen knife over, and the gods can't catch it, what's the use of high kung fu?"

His mouth was too vain, his eyes were scattered, as if he was imagining the magnificent scene of thousands of troops throwing kitchen knives...... "But...... Your brain isn't much better! "It's too vain to reply.

Xiao Fan is unhappy, I'm your apprentice, so I won't bury me useless, right? I've always relied on my brain to eat.

"Master, ask you a few questions, compare which of us has a bad brain......" Xiao Fan smiled evilly.

"Dao Ye has lived for more than a hundred years, what problems can stump me?" Taixu's nostrils hummed to the sky, and a strong smell of relying on the old and selling the old came to his face.

"You know the story of Chang'e running to the moon, right? Tell me, Chang'e ran to the moon, why did the rabbit follow her into the Moon Palace? ”

Taixu's face was suffocated, and he stroked his beard and groaned: "What's this...... That's right, what kind of coaxing is the rabbit she is running to the moon? Why do you say? ”

"Because Chang'e is a radish leg, haha......"

The old man's face was so black that he couldn't see his five fingers: "............"

"I'll ask you one more, you know, the three golden characters together are called 'Xin', the three water characters together are called 'Miao', and the three wooden characters are called 'Sen', let me ask you, what are the three ghost words called together?"

Taixu gestured with his finger a few times, and said suspiciously: "Three ghosts...... Is there such a word? Dao Ye...... This, Dao Ye doesn't know, what are the three ghosts called? ”

"Call for help."

“…………”

He was so angry that he pulled off a strand of his beard and grinned in pain.

"Master, which of us has a bad brain?"

Taixu pointed to his nose very honestly this time: "Me." ”

Xiao Fan praised: "Master is really a frank gentleman,...... It's just a little stupid. ”

In the middle of winter, there are few pedestrians on the street, and the cold wind blows through the street, and the banners and signboards of the shops are blown to the ground, bringing up a few pieces of withered yellow fallen leaves, which looks very bleak.

It's almost the New Year, the shops on the streets, the peddlers on the feet, and the people who are busy making a living seem to have disappeared overnight. The New Year is a festival that the people attach great importance to in a year, the rush of the year seems to be all for this day and prepares, farewell to the old and welcome the new, condense the new hope for the coming year, the new head, do not worry about food and clothing, it is best to save two dollars of silver, add a copper flower hairpin to the mother-in-law, and make a warm dress for the child.

Simple people, simple little wishes, for thousands of years, the people's requirements have always been very simple.

Xiao Fan and Zhu Yunwen walked side by side on the streets of Jiangpu, followed by Taixu and Xiao Thrush.

Zhu Yunwen acted with a little bit of the spleen surname of the son's brother, the surname Ren was fun, he said it, he said it when he said it, he never said hello, just like today, he suddenly appeared at the gate of the mountain temple with the pro-army guards, and after visiting the residence where Xiao Fan and the gods lived together, he couldn't help but pull Xiao Fan to the street, if he didn't go, he would be coquettish.

It's hard to imagine a nineteen-year-old man, all of whom are fathers, and he still pouts like a little Zhengtai, Xiao Fan was cute, Taixu and Xiao Thrush were also cute, the three of them didn't say a word, and immediately all of them went out to accompany the emperor and grandson to visit this cold street, as long as he didn't show that disgusting expression, he could say anything.

Xiao Fan is still very pleased, an imperial grandson has a strong understanding of the people**, this is a good thing after all, compared to a certain descendant of the Zhu family who has not left the palace for twenty or thirty years a hundred years, it is still much stronger, which shows that Zhu Yunwen has the potential to be a good emperor.

More than a dozen pro-army guards guarded Zhu Yunwen in front and back, with a moderate distance, and followed unhurriedly.

Zhu Yunwen looked sideways at Taixu, he was a little curious about this sloppy-looking Taoist priest.

"Dao Chang is Xiao Fan's master?"

"Back to Your Highness, the poor road is exact."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up: "Can that Taoist also teach me kung fu?" ”

"Your Highness's golden body, the scholar should be the art of the enemy ten thousand, why bother to learn that vulgar skill one by one, the poor Dao does not dare."

Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly dimmed, his eyes blinked a few times, and something crystal flickered.

Xiao Fan pouted secretly, he was pretending to be cute again, he really couldn't stand this grandson.

"What else will the Taoist do besides kung fu?" Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but ask again.

Taixu stroked the beard of the fairy wind bone, and said proudly: "The poor road can also calculate hexagrams." ”

"How about the Taoist chief help me calculate a hexagram?"

Tai Xu's cold eyes were like electricity, he quickly swept Zhu Yunwen, and said in a very authoritative voice: "Your Highness is round and wide, and you can see at a glance that Your Highness has the appearance of the emperor ......."

Xiao Fan covered Taixu's mouth.

It's all nonsense, everyone is the emperor's grandson, and fools know that he is the future emperor.

"Your Highness, the master of the grass people is not very good at using his brain, don't pay attention to him." Xiao Fan laughed.

…………………… Zhu Yunwen looked at the cold street with great interest, most of the shops next to the street were closed, and there were few pedestrians, Xiao Fan didn't understand, what was there to shop in such a deserted street.

Everyone walked for a while, Zhu Yunwen said with a smile while watching: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, the spring will start after the New Year, the twenty-eighth day of the first month, it is the hospital examination of Tianfu, you have the qualification of a child, remember to go to the exam that day, I will send someone to pick you up." ”

Xiao Fan said with a bitter expression: "If I really rely on my ability to take the test, I will definitely have no effect, and most of them will be killed by your imperial grandfather......"

This is the harm of being a tyrant, if you don't pass the show, you have to be questioned, I have never seen such an unreasonable crime in the past.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have arranged it for you, the main examination of the college examination is Lord Wu of Tianfu Xuezheng, I have sent someone to greet him, then you just sit in the room, I arranged a great talent to help you make a volume, that great talent can be really committed, he is a Jinshi of Hongwu for 21 years, selected as a scholar, an official to the imperial history, and Hanlin to be edicted, deeply loved by the emperor's grandfather, repeatedly praised him for his talent to govern the world and the country, such a great talent, but aggrieved to come to help you take this sour talent, it is really difficult for him, People originally didn't agree, but then I used both soft and hard, coercion and temptation, so he had to buy the face of my grandson, and then he changed his appearance, used a pseudonym, and sat in the room next to you, you have to be polite to him. ”

Xiao Fanqi said: "Who is this talent?" ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't say, anyway, he will help you make the papers, and the fame of a mere Xiucai is absolutely stable, hehe, but the person promised to agree, but his surname is upright, maybe he is a little reluctant in his heart, and he is losing his temper, you must not offend him, remember to remember, this is related to your surname, in case he helps you make a paper and talk nonsense, resulting in you not being able to pass the Xiucai, the emperor's grandfather will really ask you for the ......"

Xiao Fan's heart sank, and he immediately remembered Zhu Yunwen's words.

Something related to the surname is absolutely no joke, and on the day of the exam, I confessed him as my father...... Everyone was talking and laughing, and unconsciously walked to the door of the county government at the end of the street.

Cao Yi was leading the two catchers to walk out, and when he saw Xiao Fan and his party coming, more than a dozen guards hugged each other, and the movement was quite immense. Last time, Zhu Yunwen used the full Taisun honor guard to run from Beijing to Jiangpu to deliberately scare Xiao Fan, when Cao Yi knelt to take the car, he saw him once, and he knew that Xiao Fan was accompanying the imperial grandson at this time.

Cao Yi paused for a moment, quickly lifted the hem of his official robe, knelt down and said loudly: "Weichen Jiangpu County Cheng Cao Yi, meet His Royal Highness Taisun, Taisun Chitose!" ”

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand very casually and said, "You get up, you are alone and travel in micro-clothes, you don't have to be polite." ”

Cao Yi took advantage of the situation and got up.

Zhu Yunwen took a step forward and was about to talk to Cao Yi.

The change happened suddenly.

A row of wooden windows on the upper floor of the restaurant on the opposite street suddenly opened at the same time, and then a sound of machine blogging was heard, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot towards Zhu Yunwen like lightning.

The crossbow arrow was very urgent, and went straight to the vital points all over Zhu Yunwen's body, and the arrow flashed with a blue glow, which was obviously quenched with poison!

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen didn't realize it, and still walked towards Cao Yi with a smile, but the guards scattered in the outer circle changed color together, but the incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to help.

When it was extremely critical, he saw a gray shadow flickering, and the big wide sleeves with a sloppy oil gloss rolled up in the air, and then retracted and closed, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot out suddenly disappeared.

The guards had time to shout, "There are assassins!" Escort! ”

Then all the guards of the pro-army immediately gathered and surrounded Zhu Yunwen to death, looking at the wooden pavilion of the wine shop with a nervous expression.

In the circle formed by the guards, in the stunned eyes of Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan, the old man smiled, the wide sleeves of the sloppy Taoist robe were loosened, and only the crisp sound of clanging was heard, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows all fell to the ground, and the blue glow on the arrows made Zhu Yunwen and Xiao Fan's faces change, and they looked up at each other, and the cold sweat on their foreheads suddenly flowed slowly.

On the silent street, the peace is gone in an instant, and the killing machine is suddenly revealed!

The wooden window of the attic of the wine shop was kicked and shattered, and the wood chips were splashed everywhere, dozens of figures dressed in black and covered with black cloth jumped down one after another, and after landing, their hands were turned over and over, and each person had an extra steel knife shining with blue light, and the black-clothed assassins swept quickly, the tip of the knife pointed obliquely at Zhu Yunwen, and the sword shadows glowing with blue glow trembled in the cold wind, and a solemn aura filled the heaven and earth.

Zhu Yunwen's face had become as pale as paper.
