Chapter 161: Thrilling (Three Watches)
"Oh? There is such a thing! Zhu Gaochi looked a little surprised, but he knew that Zhou Yuting had loved horses since she was a child, and now she was willing to give the jade horse statue to Zhu Zhanji, which was much to his surprise. Where to chase novels, go fast, and go fast
"Your Royal Highness, Weichen heard that Li Yushi and the Yingrui County Lord and his wife have a deep relationship, I'm afraid this is what Li Yushi meant." Yang Shiqi couldn't help laughing, it was obvious that this was Li Yuntian's handiwork, otherwise Zhou Yuting would be willing to give such a precious jade horse statue to Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji, as the grandson of the emperor, naturally will not be rare to have a jade horse statue, but the implication of Zhou Yuting's move is very far-reaching, euphemistically showing the prince that he refuses to be attracted by the king of Han, and there is a vague intention of surrender.
"Lord Yang, it's been so long now, why hasn't Li Yushi arrived in the capital yet?" Cui An couldn't help but ask, if Li Yuntian really brought the edict of Emperor Yongle, then things would undoubtedly be much simpler.
"The road is difficult, I'm afraid he's trying to avoid unnecessary trouble." Yang Shiqi thought for a while and looked at Zhu Gaochi, "Your Highness, for the sake of safety, please prepare according to the three strategies of the top, middle and bottom." ”
"As Ishiki said." Zhu Gaochi nodded solemnly, there are some things that have to be done as a last resort for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
In the quiet night, Li Yuntian lay on the ground on his side, staring at the moonlight shining in from the window, as the minister approached, he knew that there were many people in the capital who could not sleep like him tonight.
"Did you sleep?" I don't know how long it took, Lei Ting, who was lying on the ** with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes and asked softly.
The weather was a little hot and the room was cramped, which made it difficult for her to sleep for a while.
"Not yet." Li Yuntian responded, he knew that Lei Ting couldn't adapt to the environment here, and said with a smile, "Bear with it for two more days, and you can leave the capital when the wind is not so tight." ”
"I think you're quite smart, why don't you take the imperial examination?" Lei Ting smiled when she heard this, turned her head to look at Li Yuntian, and asked with some curiosity.
She felt that with Li Yuntian's talent, even if he couldn't get into the Jinshi, then he should be able to pass the exam, and then step into the official career, and if he stayed up for more than ten years in the Ministry of Rites, Li Yuntian might become a petty official from the ninth rank or not into the stream.
"There are so good exams in the imperial examination, and some scholars are just a showman in their lives, and they may not even be qualified to participate in the township examination." Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then he made up a reason and replied in an orderly manner.
"Huh? Isn't it true that all talents can participate in the township test? Lei Ting's eyes showed a look of surprise, she had never participated in the imperial examination, so she naturally didn't know the doorways and rules inside.
"Every three years, the scholars and politicians in various places will organize the talents of each state capital to take the examination twice, and only those who excel in the examination will be qualified to participate in the township examination." Li Yuntian explained to Lei Ting with a smile that the people who could participate in the township test were the best in each state capital.
"I see!" Lei Ting showed a thoughtful look, if she hadn't met Li Yuntian, she would have thought that as long as she was a showman, she would be able to participate in the township examination, and it turned out that it was not easy to take the exam.
The two chatted with each other, and did not fall asleep until the morning, although there was a big man sleeping in the room, Lei Ting slept so soundly, and he didn't think that Li Yuntian would think about her at all.
The next day, Li Yuntian took Lei Ting to the east gate of the imperial city, Dong'anmen, to explore the way, and the peddlers and pawns who entered the imperial city all went to Dong'anmen.
At the city gate, in addition to the guards guarding the gate, there are also some men in civilian clothes wandering around, vigilantly observing the people entering the city, from time to time to stop the people entering the city for questioning, and comparing the portraits in their hands.
If Li Yuntian did not guess wrong, the person painted on the portrait should be him, and it seems that the people of the Han King have strengthened their vigilance against him.
What made him feel depressed was that he found that several miscellaneous servants of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were actually mixed with those plainclothes men to assist those plainclothes men in recognizing people, and those miscellaneous servants had been in contact with him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and recognized his appearance.
At noon, Li Yuntian and Lei Ting were having lunch at the food stall outside Dong'an Gate, and just as he was observing the men in plain clothes at the city gate, a group of people on horseback passed by the food stall, and the pedestrians on the road dodged one after another.
He glanced up, a look of surprise in his eyes, and then lowered his head.
The leader of this group of people is none other than Lu Tianxing, who is the experience of the Houjun Governor's Office, Li Yuntian was once cheated by him when he was in Hukou County, and now that Weiguo has voted for the King of Han, Lu Tianxing will naturally not let Li Yuntian go.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Yuntian's behavior was a little abnormal, Lei Ting glanced at Lu Tianxing and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, she felt that Li Yuntian seemed to be a little nervous.
"It's nothing, these people look like the children of the powerful, let's be cautious, so as not to suffer unwarranted disasters." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and explained quietly.
"You're too daring." Lei Ting couldn't help but roll her eyes at Li Yuntian, it was the first time she had met someone as cowardly and afraid as Li Yuntian.
"I dare to stand in the way of the little grandfather, I am impatient, and I don't get out of the way." As soon as Lei Ting's words fell, a rude scolding voice came.
Li Yuntian turned around and looked, it turned out that a vendor carrying two baskets of greens was squeezed to the ground by the crowd that was dodging on both sides, and the greens were scattered on the ground, and they were anxiously cleaning up there, invisibly blocking Lu Tianxing's way, which made a stout guard who followed Lu Tianxing scolded and urged him to rush forward.
"This military master, the small one will be cleaned up, and the little one will be cleaned up." The hawker was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he was hurriedly cleaning up the vegetables on the ground, if he was trampled by the horses of Lu Tianxing and others, the vegetables on the ground would be completely destroyed.
In fact, the road is very wide, as long as Lu Tianxing detours, he can avoid the vegetables on the ground, but let the dignified little grandfather avoid a vegetable vendor, wouldn't it become a joke when it gets out.
"Clean up the fart, get out of the way!" Hearing this, the stout guard's eyes flashed fiercely, and he lashed at the peddler.
A clear blood mark suddenly appeared on the peddler's face, and he screamed in pain, covered his face and squatted on the ground, his mouth was in pain.
"Don't get out yet!" Seeing this, the stout guard picked up his whip and whipped the hawker viciously, and the hawker fled to the side of the road while begging for mercy.
The surrounding pedestrians looked over and pointed at the stumbling vendors, whispering to each other.
Li Yuntian stared coldly at the scene in front of him, this was the first time he had encountered the domineering behavior of the children of powerful people in the capital, if he was not shouldering a heavy responsibility now, he would definitely reprimand the stout guards who beat people as a supervising imperial history.
At this moment, Li Yuntian felt a familiar figure flash beside him, and then he was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to pull the figure.
However, he was still a step too late, failed to grab Lei Ting's arm, and watched Lei Ting walk quickly towards the tall guard who beat people.
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, if Lu Tianxing recognized him because of Lei Ting's impulsive actions, then he would have capsized in the gutter.
After driving the peddler to the side of the road, the stout guard was about to turn his horse and leave, when a woman who looked like a young woman stopped his way, glaring at him with a frosty face.
"Little lady, have you taken a fancy to the captain of this school?" Naturally, it was Lei Ting who stood in the way, and the stout guards saw that she was handsome, protruding forward and backward, and her figure was concave and convex, so she looked at Lei Ting in a daze, with a ** face.
"You crazy woman, Lao Tzu just went to pay the bill, and you committed madness again, fortunately you didn't collide with the military masters, otherwise it will be up to Lao Tzu to clean you up when he goes back!"
Without waiting for Lei Ting to speak, Li Yuntian strode forward, carried it on his shoulder, and scolded in a Shaanxi accent while slapping her buttocks.
Seeing this, the people around him immediately burst into laughter.
"Let go of me, let go of me!" Lei Ting was suddenly embarrassed in her heart, angry and anxious, and subconsciously patted Li Yuntian's back.
"If you make trouble for Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will ask people to write a letter of divorce, divorce you, a crazy woman, and find trouble for Lao Tzu all day long." Li Yuntian felt that his back was beaten by Lei Ting, Lei Ting has also practiced martial arts since childhood, if she struggles, she will definitely be able to break free, and hurriedly reminded implicitly, "When the time comes, let your father find you a family again!" ”
Hearing that Li Yuntian mentioned Lei Xiaotian, Lei Ting immediately reacted and gradually gave up resisting, if she clashed with the stout guards here, it would definitely alarm Lei Xiaotian.
Lu Tianxing glanced at the backs of Li Yuntian and Lei Ting, pulled the reins of the horse and left, and the horse stepped on the green vegetables scattered on the road ahead, and he hurried back to the Governor's Mansion of the Houjun Capital, where is there time to delay time here.
The stout guard looked at Lei Ting with some regret, although Lei Ting was a crazy woman, but both her face and figure were superior, and he still wanted to make Lei Ting **** happy.
Seeing that Lu Tianxing didn't suspect him, Li Yuntian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, turned into a small alley, and put down Lei Ting in a secluded place.
snapped, and without waiting for Li Yuntian to speak, Lei Ting, who was flushed, shook his hand, gave him a crisp slap, and bit his lip and glared at him.
"The move just now was indeed a bit abrupt, but you also saw the situation at that time, it was purely helpless." Li Yuntian rubbed his hot cheeks depressedly, and explained to Lei Ting with a wry smile that any girl would be angry when she was spanked in front of a man in public, so he understood Lei Ting's mood very well at this time.
As for this slap, he only thinks he is unlucky, and in the final analysis, he took advantage of Lei Ting.
"This slap is just a warning, if you are disrespectful to this girl again, then this girl will make you unable to be a man!" Lei Ting bit her lip, snorted coldly at Li Yuntian, and walked away.
Li Yuntian shook his head with a smile, drooped his head, and followed behind with a look of grievance, with the conscience of heaven and earth, he did not have the slightest thought of Lei Ting.
After taking a few steps, Lei Ting suddenly stopped, and Li Yuntian, who was following closely behind her, was not the slightest defense, and crashed into it all of a sudden.
"I didn't mean to." Li Yuntian hurriedly explained, for fear that Lei Ting would misunderstand and find trouble for himself again, he looked up and was immediately stunned, only to see more than a dozen big men in strong suits in front of him, looking at him and Lei Ting with fierce eyes.
"Did you find out?" Seeing this, Li Yuntian's face suddenly changed, and his fists couldn't help but clench. One
