"My lord, Xia Guan has been trying every means to hunt down the assassin for several days, but he still found nothing..."Chen Tong was ordered to thoroughly investigate the assassin's whereabouts, and sent soldiers to strictly guard the inside and outside of the palace, and he didn't even catch a bird for a few days. Later, he removed the guards, pretending to be scattered, and kept a close eye on them at night, waiting for the assassin to come again, hoping to catch the turtle in the urn, and take it in one fell swoop.

"The person who stabbed is in the school palace, and you can't catch a snake like you... The so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, and he must make a mistake, and when he shows his feet, he will wait for the opportunity to arrest him, and he will not be able to catch it. Zheng Xun couldn't sleep for a few days, although there were soldiers guarding the door day and night, but his heart was still faintly uneasy, the black-clothed assassin almost killed him, he thought about it and always felt that something was wrong, according to Wang Chong, the assassin must be a person in the palace.

"Your Excellency, if you don't guard it strictly, the assassin will assassinate again, in case the adult has three longs and two shorts, the lower officials really can't afford it..."Chen Tong persuaded. Zheng Xun was resolute and said: "It's okay, don't act rashly, this official has his own plans." Chen Tong didn't dare to ask him what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, and removed all the guards that day.

The students gradually forgot about the assassination, and although they visited Zheng Shijie to Lin and Ziying, they did not dispel everyone's suspicions, and Zhang Xiang and Zhao Cheng took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, making everyone look at them very differently than before.

The next day, a notice was posted in the palace, and three days later, a bowing contest was held, and all students competed in the field. The school palace has to hold several bowing competitions every year, especially before the Duanyang Festival, because Zheng Xun will come to the school palace at this time of year, and his favorite entertainment is bowing.

When Zheng Xun was young, he was obsessed with juju (modern polo), and in his spare time, he invited a group of friends to compete in the field and had a lot of fun. At that time, the Zheng family was also a big official family, and a big son like Zheng Xun could be idle all day long, except for eating, drinking and having fun, I really didn't know what else to do.

Zixiang was originally a little-known pawn under the Assassin Mansion, and he also loves to bow down, and Zheng Xun was bowing with his friends in the field, and he was having fun, and one of his side accidentally fell off the horse and broke his leg, Zheng Xun not only ignored it, but was angry that he swept everyone's interest, and the soldiers who were watching the game hurriedly dragged the man out of the field.

Zixiang was one of the pawns on the sidelines, seeing Zheng Xun and the others playing happily, his heart was itching, and his restless hands and feet had nowhere to put them. Zheng Xun was extremely unhappy with a calm face, worried about where to find someone again, and a group of fox friends and dog friends had no one to recommend.

Zixiang knew that his opportunity had come, he had the courage to come forward and ask for the competition, Zheng Xun saw that he was a lowly pawn, thinking about how he deserved to compete with me, he didn't come to make trouble, thinking about this anger, he didn't fight anywhere, and then ordered the soldiers to knock him out of the house.

Zixiang seemed to have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, without saying a word, pushed away the soldiers, took up the cane and jumped on the horse, leaned over like a round scimitar, and made a full swing, only to see the shadow of the ball (ball) swept by, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into Meng (net) like a gallop.

Zheng Xun was stunned when he saw it, and clapped his hands when he came back to his senses, he had never seen such a superb person, just when he was amazed, Zixiang hurriedly dismounted, and knelt down to plead guilty. Zheng Xunxing's head increased greatly, and a smile bloomed on his face, where would he blame Zixiang, staring at him carefully.

Since then, Zheng Xun will invite Zixiang every time he bows, and Zixiang has gradually won Zheng Xun's favor and trust, and it is easy to make progress. However, it is precisely because Zheng Xun admires his superb skills and strong martial arts very much that he has always kept him by his side, which hinders his career, Zixiang is not willing to just play with him all day long, and he also has greater ambitions.

After Zheng Xun was promoted to assassination history, if he was Feng Zixiang's official position, it would only be a gesture, but he just didn't want to let go of this person who could accompany him to bow and have fun, and Zixiang didn't dare to have any complaints, he had already seen through Zheng Xun's temperament, and he was a little abrupt and accidentally angered him, I was afraid that his head would fall to the ground.

Later, Zheng Xun saw that he was unhappy and depressed all day long, and he seemed to be a little tired of him in his heart, just in time to study in Zheng Shijie's palace, so he sent him to follow Zheng Shijie to the palace, and he has been in the palace for three years.

Now Zheng Xun is over half a hundred years old, his official affairs are complicated, and his health is not as good as before, not to mention playing a dangerous game such as bowing. Although he can't afford to participate, he likes to organize a bow competition, and the field in the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion has never been deserted. Staying in the Dongyang Academy every year, Zheng Xun in addition to supervising the big exam and other matters, another important thing is to watch the bow competition, and the holding of the bow competition seems to have become a tradition in the palace.

The reason why Zheng Xun wanted to bring twenty or thirty soldiers was to protect his own safety, and secondly, the horses he rode could be used as war horses for bowing, which was really painstaking.

The students of all families do not listen to the things outside the window on weekdays, and only read the books of sages and sages, and they feel very boring, and after seeing the notice, they are all excited, elated, and excited as if they have won the emperor's list.

Zheng Shijie followed his father Zheng Xun, although he is not very obsessed with bowing, but he also likes it very much, and he must win the first place in the annual bowing competition, and it is difficult to think of the first place. Most of the students in the school palace are his younger brothers, and no one dares to overshadow his limelight on the field, and the fierce bowing field has become a ritual classroom, so that the competition has become boring and boring, and it is not interesting at all.

Second, it was Zheng Xun who came to watch the game on the sidelines, if Zheng Shijie had an accident, how could Zheng Xun spare them. The students thought about it and went through the motions, and it was not a good idea to be too serious.

Zheng Shijie smiled after reading the notice, and could see that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, and his contemptuous brows seemed to be raised to the sky, if he would not have looked at the notice at all in the past, but at this time, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about in his head.

"Brother Shijie, this bow contest is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~" It's Qin Hancai again, he is weird all day long, and there is his shadow everywhere, Zheng Shijie turned his head and stared at him with a serious face, thinking about how this guy always appeared in front of him every time he thought about it.

"That's right, it's a great opportunity for your kid to break his arm and leg." The corners of Zheng Shijie's mouth lifted and left, Qin Hancai smiled awkwardly, he tried his best to get close to Zheng Shijie, but Zheng Shijie didn't seem to want to see him, and even a little bored.

On the second day, He Jian returned from chopping firewood, and was about to push open the door of the firewood room, but he heard a voice in the door, he lightly unloaded the firewood and came to the door, and the two people in the room were chattering non-stop.

"I have already marked the hooves of that white horse, don't forget it when choosing a horse~"

"Brother is really thoughtful, that horse is strong and fat, four hooves are windy, if Brother Shijie rides this horse, he will be invincible and invincible~"

"Xu Xianglin's stinky boy is having a hard time this time!" After that, he laughed and laughed, very much like the sound of a mouse, sharp and sharp.

He Jian was stunned when he heard this, and before he could figure out who was whispering, he hurried to Shangzhong, and seemed to think of something again, and suddenly smiled, turned his head and returned to the firewood room. The door was wide open, and the two guys who were hiding in the firewood room and secretly calculating disappeared, He Jian threw the firewood into the firewood room, and then rushed to the back mountain.

The horses are all locked up in the back mountain stable to feed, it is noon, the stable is also unattended, He Jian saw that there was no one around, tiptoed to push open the horse pen, there were more than ten white horses in the stable, He Jian checked one by one, and finally found the white horse with the mark on the hoof, and drew three obvious white marks.

Then He Jian found a white stone, secretly drew another mark on the horse's hooves, and then drew three identical marks on the hooves of the rest of the white horses, closed the horse pen and slipped down the mountain with a smile.
