Chapter 12: Killing Four Birds with One Stone

The Ninth Princess looked at Yang Xing dumbfounded, it was like wanting to see the gods, although the Ninth Princess had seen many masters within the high walls of the palace, but she looked at them with a downward attitude, and had never looked up to Yang Xing like today, and regarded Yang Xing as a protective god. People are like this, only in a desperate situation, do they know their own shortcomings, that kind of arrogance will disappear to nothing, even the evil Shi Ba and his subordinates are the same, seeing that their little life will be gone in an instant, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the former majesty and domineering were all gone.

Yang Xing glanced at them with disdain and shouted, "Get out, if I see you being domineering and doing evil again, don't blame me for piercing your head." ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd applauded.

When Shi Ba and his men heard this, they knew that they were saved, and they pretended to be grateful to Dade for supporting each other and retreated, although they were seriously injured, they still disappeared without a trace. However, how could Shi Ba and the others suffer such a bad anger, thinking about how to mobilize masters to retaliate against Yang Xing.

Although Yang Xing was a little reckless, he still knew how to advance and retreat, and knew that Shi Ba and the others would not give up, so he turned his head and said to the Ninth Princess, you guys should go quickly, Shi Ba and the other wicked people will come back to retaliate in a while.

The ninth princess pouted and said, "We have no relatives or friends in the capital, and we can only be safe if we follow our son." ”

After Yang Xing came to his senses, he secretly thought: "These disasters are big, not only may they cause trouble to the eldest brother, but they are also glued by others, although they have changed their appearance, Shi Ba and others do not recognize them, but these people, Shi Ba and others must recognize them, and the Shi family is snobbish in the capital, I am afraid that they will be chased and killed by Shi Ba and others before they leave the capital, then good people will do it to the end, ask the eldest brother for help." ”

The Ninth Princess turned her head and whispered to the two entourages beside her, "Go back to the palace and tell your father to catch Shi Ba." ”

The two men disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Yang Xing dragged the Ninth Princess through the streets, found a secret place, changed her appearance, and smeared some mud on the Ninth Princess's face, and quietly sneaked back to Ziyun Pavilion, just happened to run into Zhuge Mou.

The Ninth Princess was taken aback and thought to herself, "Why is he here?"

Zhuge Mou did not change his appearance in the guest room of Ziyang and others, and the ninth princess natural person, the new champion of science and literature who showed his demeanor last year, Zhuge Mou was proficient in calligraphy and painting, and was naturally summoned by Emperor Sima Wen alone, at that time, the ninth princess Sima Yu was next to him, maybe Zhuge Mou did not have the ninth princess who was beside the emperor, but the ninth princess remembered this talent deeply. At this time, when I saw Zhuge Mou, how could I not be surprised.

Yang Xing told Ziyang and the others in detail about the fight with Shi Ba just now.

After Zhuge Mou heard this, his face was displeased and Wen said angrily: "Brother Yang has become a true hero, but how can that Shi Ba be a person to be provoked, maybe he is searching for you all over the city now." Also, the chief examiner of the Wu Zhuangyuan exam five days later is General Huwei, a general under Shi Chong, who may bring a lot of trouble to the eldest brother. ”

After hearing this, Ziyang smiled and said: "What Brother Zhuge Xian said makes sense, but our brothers go to life and death together, and we have difficulties together, whether it is Shi Ba or Shi Chong, if we provoke our brothers, we will give him a good look, this time Brother Yang Xing only punished him slightly, if that Shi Ba dares to come to find trouble, he will definitely ask for his name." Brother Yang Xing doesn't need to worry, but this little brother is still temporarily out of the limelight, and when our exam is over, we will find that Shi Ba to settle the account. ”

Dapeng and the others also laughed and said: "Brother Yang Xing, the eldest brother has said it, don't worry, the eldest brother has many means, you haven't been with the eldest brother for a long time, and you don't know the eldest brother, you will know it in the future, not to mention the little Shi Ba, even the old thief Shi Chong came in person, and the eldest brother is not afraid." ”

Ziyang said again: "It's okay, the power didn't happen, what should we do, but trouble Brother Zhuge Xian to change the appearance of this little brother, don't let Shi Ba see that before we take the exam, it is better to have one less thing or one less thing." ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

Although Zhuge Mou was unhappy in his heart, since Ziyang said so, he naturally complied.

When resting at night, the ninth princess was arranged to live in the same room with Yang Xing, although the ninth princess was a little shy of a girl, but she thought of sending people under the fence and living with her benefactor, so she still agreed. When arranging the accommodation, Ziyang didn't know that the ninth princess was dressed as a man and a woman, but Dapeng covered his mouth and snickered malice.

Ziyang returned to his room and asked, "What were you laughing at just now?"

Dapeng smiled: "Let's fulfill this kid Yang Xing, this kid is really blessed." ”

Ziyang suddenly understood that the ninth princess was dressed as a man and a woman. I smiled too.

After the eunuch and the maid returned to the palace, they were immediately led to Sima Wen by the chief eunuch of the palace, Chief Eunuch Liu, who was angry about the princess's escape from the public, and saw that the two people around the princess were about to be pulled out and beheaded, and the two hurriedly begged for mercy.

Manager Liu also helped to speak, and said: "Your Majesty, these two people can't be killed, the princess hasn't been found yet, and if you kill them, the ninth princess will be even more difficult to find." ”

Sima Wenming came over and said sharply: "Say, where is the ninth princess?"

The eunuch and the maid trembled and told the story as it was, and finally added: "The ninth princess ordered the little one to come back to tell the emperor and let the emperor arrest Shi Ba, the youngest son of Prime Minister Shi Chong." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head and remained silent, as if he was afraid that his life would be lost.

Sima Wen waved his hand and said: "Get up, give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, lead twenty masters to find the Ninth Princess, and secretly protect it, if there is another mistake, you will not be spared, go." “

The eunuch and the maid hurriedly withdrew.

Sima Wen thought thoughtfully, stamped his footsteps, and walked around.

How smart Manager Liu was, he could see at a glance that Sima Wen was thinking about how to deal with Prime Minister Shi Chong, so he stepped forward and suggested: "Your Majesty, Shi Chong is getting stronger and stronger, and his son is flying rampantly, he dares to attack the Ninth Princess, and he needs to be punished well, otherwise the royal majesty will no longer exist." ”

Sima Wen glanced at Manager Liu and said: "The punishment must be punished, but the key is how to punish, the princess is dressed as a woman, I'm afraid that Shi Chong will not admit it." ”

Manager Liu said: "We don't do it, but we can borrow a knife to kill people." I think that the person who saved the princess should be a master who came to participate in the martial arts exam, and he is not familiar with the capital, otherwise he would not be hot with the powerful Shi Chong. With Shi Chong's means, as long as the prince makes another move, he will definitely recognize him, and it is estimated that he will make a move in the process of the martial arts exam, why not order the prince to be the chief examiner, and keep the prince first, if the prince wins fame in the martial arts, and gives him certain rights, he will definitely take Shi Chong as the opponent to weaken Shi Chong's strength, and at the same time, the emperor can also win over such talents, serve the emperor, and sell the prince a favor, and a small warning Shi Chong, it can be said that killing four birds with one stone. ”

Sima Wen thought for a while and said: "In all previous martial arts exams, Shi Chong and the prince took turns to be the chief examiner, and the prince just served as the prince last time, I'm afraid Shi Chong will not agree this time." ”

Manager Liu said: "The Great Jin Dynasty is the emperor's house, coupled with Shi Ba's rudeness to the nine princesses, it is estimated that Shi Chong already knows, at this time the emperor will not hold him responsible, he has already given him Shi Chong face, Shi Chong will not know, he will not dare to disagree, he Shi Chong can only eat coptis dumbly." ”

Sima Wen said: "Okay, you find a reason, draw up a purpose, transfer the chief examiner, General Hu Wei, out of the capital, and let the prince serve as the chief examiner this time." ”

Mr. Liu was secretly happy and immediately went to do something.

Obviously, this Director Liu is secretly helping the prince, and he is the person who belongs to the prince.

As soon as Manager Liu finished drafting the holy decree, he sent a letter to the prince to receive the reward.

The prince is overjoyed, you must know that every time Wu Zhuangyuan recruits the exam, it is a good time to recruit talents, and whoever can be the chief examiner will be close to the water and get the moon first.

The Ninth Princess and Yang Xing hid in the room for a while, and the search team of Shi Chong's family naturally did not dare to search the powerful Ziyun Pavilion, and the emperor's master found the mark left by the Ninth Princess and protected it in secret.

When the Lantern Festival arrived, Ziyang took Dapeng, Huofeng, Yang Xing, and the Nine Princesses, Yang Xing and the Nine Princesses changed their appearance, swaggering to follow Ziyang and others to see the lanterns, excited like children.

Ziyang smiled and said: "Li Le (the ninth princess is pseudonym Li Le to Ziyang and others), be careful, there are many people, don't get lost, otherwise, we won't be able to find you." ”

Ziyang and the others played frantically all night on the night of the Lantern Festival, and they were still sleeping at noon the next day.

The search team of the Shi family still hasn't found Yang Xing and the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess took over with the eunuch on the Lantern Festival night and learned some about the situation, but she didn't want to go back to the palace yet, she wanted to follow Yang Xing, after all, Yang Xing was a heroic boy, and the Ninth Princess had a wonderful feeling staying with him, which made her sometimes excited and sometimes nervous.

After the Lantern Festival, Ziyang and others began to prepare for the necessary things for the exam, holding the martial arts papers, registering and receiving the number plate, but did not pay the registration fee (the martial arts champion exam no longer charges any fees, and all fees are borne by the state).

When it came to the date of the exam, Ziyang and the others took the exam on time. Ziyang still holds a dark incense wolf pen, and Yang Xing is still the cloud-piercing gun, but with an extra holster, in case the people of the Shi family recognize it.

Ziyang told him that as long as he passed the exam, even if the Shi family recognized Yang Xing, he would not be afraid.

The Ninth Princess kept thinking about how to effectively protect Yang Xing from Shi Chong, Shi Ba and their minions.

The ninth princess quietly came to the side of the crown prince's brother Sima Ren and asked Sima Ren to help protect Yang Xing, and wanted to kill Shi Ba to avenge him.

Sima Ren comforted the Ninth Princess and promised to protect Yang Xing during the exam, as for the future, he was also very helpless, he would never do anything to kill Shi Ba.

He knew very well in his heart that once he killed Shi Ba, it would be equivalent to starting a war against Shi Chong, and now was not the time. He won't act blindly, otherwise he wouldn't be called Sima Ren.

You must know that his life was in life and death and humiliation, his father Sima Wen didn't like him, and wanted to abolish him several times, if it weren't for his imperial grandfather, Sima Zhan, the pillar of Zhenguo, to protect him, he might have died in a different place long ago. In addition, Shi Chong is against him everywhere, the only thing he can do is to endure again and again, and continue to accumulate strength, until he is 100% sure, he will hit with one blow and eliminate future troubles forever.
