As night approached, the state banquet at the palace began, accompanied by bursts of vocal music.

Jiang Wang held the wine glass and sat on the high seat in the center, and on the left and right sides were Gongzi Shaobai and the county lord Xin'er, Xiangguo Yan Hao, as well as the general Liu Chen, who rushed back from the border yesterday, and other ministers sat in the lower right, while Yang Ming, Liu Qianyu and other college students sat on the lower left, in addition to the students, Wu Jian, as well as Weng Lao and the dean of the academy Shen Mo also sat in the lower right.

Under the white moonlight, the dancers danced, and the red skirts bloomed in the palace like blooming flowers.

Singing and dancing, staggering...... Vocal sounds, wine glasses, and sounds are heard in the night sky.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces gradually became a little red. Yang Ming is not good at drinking, after a few drinks, he is already a little drunk, Cai Yin sits next to him, tonight, Cai Yin wears a pink gauze dress, which sets off her petite body a little sweet and cute, this pink new dress is Yang Ming personally picked for Cai Yin, Cai Yin is very happy to dress, the girl will not drink, can only use tea to cheer up, and next to Cai Yin, Wu Jian, but it is another extreme, wine, cup after cup, that small cup obviously can not satisfy Wu Jian's mouth, Wu Jian can't wait to let the maid take the wine jar, so open to drink。

Taking advantage of the wine, King Jiang stood up, raised his wine glass to the moon, and said to everyone: "This time, in the battle of the rebellion of the Mountain of No Return, the widow was murdered by the traitors and thieves, and was deeply encircled. ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass high, and then drank it in one gulp, and all the ministers and students got up, drank the wine in the cup with King Jiang, and said in unison: "King Xie." ”

After drinking, King Jiang said: "This time you have made great contributions to the rescue of the mountain without returning to the mountain, not only to save the widow, but also to save Jiang Guo." The widow should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, as the saying goes, there is a order of reward, you think, who can take this first merit?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent slightly, exchanged glances with each other, and hesitated for a moment, but no one dared to take the initiative to speak. At this time, seeing the hesitation in everyone's hearts, the county lord Jiang Xin'er boldly said to King Jiang: "Father, my daughter thinks that this first merit should be given to the student Yang Ming. ”

With the county lord's throwing bricks and stones, a group of students echoed in unison: "The students also think that Yang Ming is the first to save the car this time." ”

Not only that, but even the general Liu Chen also agreed.

Seeing everyone shouting in unison, Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction, in fact, the person recommended by everyone happened to coincide with the person in Jiang Wang's heart, it was the student Yang Ming.

So, King Jiang shouted, "Trainee Yang Ming, come forward." ”

Hearing his name, Yang Ming's heart was excited, excited and inevitably a little nervous, the young man took a deep breath, immediately stepped forward, faced King Jiang, and bowed his knees, "Student Yang Ming, see the king." ”

Looking at the young man with satisfaction, Jiang Wang put on his beard and said with a smile: "Yang Ming, everyone agrees that you are the first to save the driver." In the past two days, the widow has also listened to the county lord tell you about the whole thing, and the county lord has praised you. When he said this, King Jiang couldn't help but glance at Xin'er again, only to see Xin'er looking at Yang Ming with a smile, as if he was accepting a reward.

In the past two days, King Jiang's ears are about to be tortured by this county lord, as long as he has leisure, Xin'er will pester King Jiang and tell him how Yang Ming fought bravely, and how witty and resourceful, the meaning of the words is to let King Jiang reward Yang Ming heavily, and I can't wait to directly crown Yang Ming as a general!

King Jiang looked at his daughter, not tired of it, but also a little pitiful, reluctant to refuse her, it was simply helpless to take her, King Jiang shook his head helplessly, and then continued to say to Yang Ming: "Yang Ming, the widow also thinks that you should be the first credit this time, what reward do you want, just open your mouth, the widow will definitely agree." ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming was overjoyed, but he was a little hesitant, after all, the king's grace was vast and terrifying.

Yang Ming straightened up, slowly raised his head, his little face was still a little shy, at this time, Xin'er sat on the high seat, threw a smile at Yang Ming, and encouraged him to say boldly with confidence. Looking at Xin'er's gentle and beautiful eyes, the young man's self-confidence increased greatly, and he immediately replied to King Jiang: "Back to Wang, the student has been an orphan since he was a child, and he was raised by Yangjia Village. The students wanted to ask the king for a piece of land for Yangjia Village. ”

As the saying goes, the people regard food as the sky, and if they want food, they must have good land. Land, a treasure coveted by the common people, is far more precious than gold. In all mainland countries, the land is owned by the state and the nobility, and the commoners are not allowed to own it. If the common people want to survive, they can only cultivate the fields for the nobles, and after planting the grain, they have to give most of it to the noble landlords, and they can only get less than one-tenth of the surplus grain, so for the commoners, the land is their most desired and thirsty treasure.

Yang Ming was born in Yangjia Village since he was a child, and he often heard the old village chief say that his greatest wish in this life is to have his own land and grow food for himself. Yang Ming has always remembered the words of the old village chief, and he did not dare to forget it, and now that he has made a great contribution, he can ask the king for a reward, so Yang Ming decided to repay the village's nurturing grace and ask for a piece of land for Yangjia Village.

Hearing Yang Ming's appeal, Jiang Wang was slightly startled, and then a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he said approvingly: "Hahaha...... Yang Ming, such a great opportunity, you don't want a reward for yourself, but you want to give the reward to the village, this affection is really commendable. ”

"Receiving favors from others, not forgetting to report pictures, not to mention the grace of nurturing, which is greater than the sky. Yang Ming knelt on the ground and said to King Jiang word by word.

"Okay, I will repay your kindness, and the widow will reward Yangjia Village with 100 hectares of fertile land, 100 cattle and 100 horses, and there are grain and farm tools outside, as you want. ”

Hearing King Jiang's generous reward, Yang Ming was grateful and thanked: "The student thanked the king for Yangjia Village." ”

Although there is no gold and silver, but for the common people, the land is far better than gold, because gold is "dead", while the land is "alive".

After rewarding Yang Ming, King Jiang continued to reward him with meritorious deeds.

Just as the banquet was in full swing, a guard suddenly came to report, "Tell the king, Cai Man, the steward of the Xiuwu Academy, and ask to meet the king." ”

Hearing this, King Jiang, who was about to drink a glass of wine, his face stiffened, faintly dissatisfied, and said: "It's really a disappointment, tonight is a state banquet, and the widow is feasting on heroes, what is there for him to talk about tomorrow morning." ”

"Your Majesty, Cai Man is in urgent need, and he must invite the king tonight. The guard ventured. The reason why the guards dared to risk angering King Jiang so much was because he had received fifty taels of silver from Cai Man, so he naturally spoke hard for him.

Jiang Wang put down his wine glass happily, although he was dissatisfied, but considering that Cai Man might really have something important, he had to order: "Okay, summon Cai Man up." ”

"Yes. The guards received the order, and immediately shouted outside: "The king has an order, summon Cai Man to meet him." ”

The words fell, and after a while, Cai Man walked quickly, and then knelt down and said, "Minister Cai Man pays a visit to the king." ”

Jiang Wang looked at Cai Man and asked in a cold tone: "Cai Man, you are in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"Back to the king, the minister dared to take the risk to meet the king, to report to the king, there are spies in the academy. Cai Man straightened up and said sharply.

Hearing the word "spy", King Jiang's face was shocked, and the other ministers were also shocked.

Spy, this is not a trivial matter. Spies infiltrate the country, steal state secrets, and cause the country to suffer losses, and this loss is immeasurable, and can even cause the destruction of a country. Therefore, spies are the most careful and hated by all countries, and once they are caught, they will be killed.

There is a spies, this is a major matter that has to be taken seriously, and it is still in the Martial Arts Academy. Xiuwu Academy is the top priority of the country, it is the representative of a country's military strength, Xiuwu Academy cultivates national talents, graduates, enters the court as an official, joins the army as a general, once these people have a spies, for the country, this is a major event that endangers the vital matter.

King Jiang's face was stern, and he immediately asked Cai Man, "Cai Man, who is the spy?"

Cai Man replied in a positive voice: "The spy is here." As he spoke, he pointed to Cai Yin in the seat with a cold gaze, and then pointed to the girl, and said sharply: "It's her." ”

Seeing Cai Yin being accused of being a spy, everyone was surprised again, especially Yang Ming and Weng Lao were the most shocked, Weng Lao was even more pale, and cold sweat flowed on his forehead.

Cai Yin sat in the seat, her little face looked overwhelmed, she was like a child who didn't know what was wrong, her eyes were full of confusion. She didn't know what she had done wrong, so how could she be considered a spy?

"Is it because everyone has drunk, and I'm not the only one who has drunk?" Cai Yin tilted her little head, blinked in confusion, and whispered.

Yang Ming and Weng Lao exchanged glances with each other, and secretly felt uneasy in their hearts, although Cai Yin was named Weng Lao's medicine boy, in fact, it was not the case.

Seven years ago, Jiang and its neighbor Rongguo provoked a war because of a border dispute. At that time, the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, Shen Mo also participated in this battle. In a battle with the enemy, Shen Mo accidentally fell into the enemy's trap, was wounded by a poisoned arrow, and when his life was dying, he met a five-year-old girl, although the girl was in rags, but with a small hand, she led out the poison in Shen Mo's place, such amazing medical skills, even the famous medicine wizard in Jiang China couldn't do it, let alone just a five-year-old baby. After Shen Mo woke up, he asked the girl's name and residence, but the girl was silent, only knowing that her parents were no longer in the world, in order to repay the little girl's life-saving grace, after the war, Shen Mo secretly took her back to the Martial Arts Academy and named her Caiyin.
