The second exam will take three days, and after the first day of the exam, everyone took a breath, but when the second exam was preparing for the second exam in the early morning of the next day, news came that one of the candidates died violently in the inn, and Liu Qizheng tried his best to investigate the matter.

Although Tingchuan's current state is not good, but under the management of King Muhai, Tingchuan has also prospered for a while, which shows that Tingchuan's potential is still quite large, so it is understandable that all parties are fighting for this territory openly and secretly.

And the easiest and most convenient way is to kill the competition.

This incident provoked Liu Qitou to make a big circle, this time the Wang family in order to cast a wide net, openly and secretly sent a lot of candidates in, although this death is the most insignificant one, but it also provoked Wang Zixuan almost angry, but guess can also guess that the person was killed by the King of Huainan, and now, the only competitor of the Wang family is the King of Huainan.

Wang Zixuan suffered a loss, and he would not give up, so he specially asked Liu Qi to investigate the evidence of this matter, but at the moment, Liu Qi couldn't find any fault with the King of Huainan at all, so he had to send someone to the Huainan Palace's palace to monitor every day, just waiting for the King of Huainan to show his feet.

On the other side, Chu Nian heard about this and didn't pay much attention to it, but when it was night, she was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, suddenly opened her eyes, put on her coat and walked towards Ye Yuan's room, at this moment Ye Yuan's room was pitch black, and in the darkness, there was a low wheezing sound.

Chu Nian was at the door of Ye Yuan's room, holding his breath to feel the breath coming from the room, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then, he pushed the door open, his ears discerned the direction of the other party in the dark, and slapped it fiercely, and he heard a muffled snort, Ye Yuan was asleep, and when he heard the voice, he opened his eyes and looked at Chu Nian for unknown reasons, and a black shadow quickly galloped towards the moonlight.

Seeing this, Chu Nian didn't explain much, the strong dark one and the light skill dark three were both sent to protect his grandfather, leaving a dark two at this moment, his ears are sensitive, and he has already heard the movement here, Chu Nian chased out the stall, and the dark two have already followed.

Chu Nian chased the back of Dark Er galloping on the wall all the way, and after running for a long time, Dark Er suddenly stopped at the top of the wall, his eyes fell on the dark courtyard under him, and he didn't move.

This is the "cold palace" where Xiao Chen's family is imprisoned, since she is completely crazy, the old lady takes pity on her, so he released her from the firewood room and locks her in this small courtyard that is a little better than the firewood room, the courtyard door is often locked, and only when the next person comes to deliver food, it will be opened for a moment.

Dark Er stopped for a moment, then turned his gaze to Chu Nian, with a bit of inquiry.

Chu Nian's gaze fell on the dark doorway, "He has been slapped by me, he has already been injured, I am afraid that he is hiding here, you can go and see it first, don't wake up Xiao Chen, I will be there later." ”

Dark Er nodded, flew into the darkness, Chu Nian turned around, went to call Mei Xiang and the others to come over, and called someone to open the door lock, and then got into Xiao Chen's house.

At this time, Xiao Chen was sitting in a daze in the dark, and saw a figure burrowing into the room, she wanted to scream, but when she saw those eyes, her eyes were slightly stunned, and she let him fly in front of her eyes and climb onto the beams of the room. That person was not seriously injured, Chu Nian's palm was full of strength, if there was no martial arts practitioner to defend himself, he would kill with one blow, not to mention that this person couldn't defend at all, he turned over and got into the stall of the beam, and blood slipped from his body and dripped to the ground.

Xiao Chen looked at the crystal blood under the moonlight, her eyes were slightly stunned, and after a while, she stared at the knife and stabbed it into her arm, and the blood instantly mixed with the piece of blood left by the man. The smell of blood in the room became stronger, and Xiao Chen bandaged his arm casually, still holding a knife in his hand, quietly in a daze, and after a while, the blood coagulated.

At this time, he saw a figure pushing the door in, and then, the lights were bright, and he smelled the smell of blood in the air, Chu Nian frowned and looked at Xiao Chen who was in a daze on the couch.

"Ma'am, long time no see."

Xiao Chen ignored her, yawned to himself, his arm went up, and the wound on his hand immediately appeared in front of everyone, everyone looked at each other, thinking that it was the smell of blood coming from the injured assassin, could it be that it was the result of this crazy woman's self-harm?

Chu Nian had long heard that Xiao Chen was crazy and self-harming in the house, and she didn't know how many scars were left on her exposed arms, but it just happened that at this stall, she had thoughts of self-harm again? Chu Nian's gaze fell on the ball of blood on the ground, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head suddenly, but there was only darkness on the beams of the room, and he couldn't see anyone else.

Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly at the pitch black, and then said coldly: "Disturb the eldest lady's rest, I'll leave." ”

With that, she withdrew her gaze from the beam, turned around and walked towards the door, and the other servants saw this, so they had to leave.

It wasn't until Chu Nian and the others had walked for a stick of incense that the figure on the beam of the room fell to the ground, looking at Xiao Chen, who was sitting on the couch with a dull expression.

"I haven't seen it for a long time, but I didn't expect the eldest lady to be harmed by Chu Nian into this appearance. The eldest lady must not have known that she had been locked up for so old, Chu Nian killed Chu Xiaolangjun, and asked the queen mother to find her an identical one to replace Chu Xiaolangjun's position in the Chu family. ”

Xiao Chen's dull eyes moved from the ground to his face, he seemed to be very satisfied with Xiao Chen's reaction, and laughed at the top of his throat before saying: "Thank you for the eldest lady for helping this seat today, but sending the Buddha to the west, this seat is now injured, and the outside is only afraid that the suspicious Chu Nian has arranged someone to watch in advance, and in a short time, this seat can only be disturbed." ”

Xiao Chen just looked at him fixedly, didn't speak, just a pair of eyes were red and red, and tears were about to fall, but they couldn't fall.

……

When Dark Er came back, Chu Nian knew only that, claiming to be the person in this seat...... Chu Nian frowned, turned his eyes to look at Dark Er, and said, "You continue to monitor them, there is me here, don't worry." ”

Seeing this, Dark Er took the order and left, but Chu Nian was puzzled, logically speaking, the news that Chu Nian was going to send Ye Yuan to the examination room had already told King Huainan in advance, and also said hello to Wang Zixuan, now both sides treat her as half of their own people, and they don't see any suspicion for the time being, why does anyone want to attack Ye Yuan? What's more, Ye Yuan has been keeping a low profile recently, and he has not shown his talent at all, which is even more impossible.

The next day is the last day of the exam, and as long as you survive this day, everything will be solved.

But this day went wrong, the first two days of the literary examination have eliminated a lot of people, Chu Nian also took special care of Chen Lao to eliminate the cheating Qinghe members, Chen Lao complied, and there were only a few people left in the examination room on the last day, and most of the guards were removed, and now it seems that there is only a weak old man left in the examination room, and a weak Chu Nian, and a foolish prince who has to join in the fun.

The exam time was sharply reduced to an hour, Chen Lao was troublesome, and asked these people to hand in the exam papers after writing, the first one to be handed in was Tao Jinyan, he probably felt bored, and greeted Chu Nian in advance and left, Chen Lao was looking at his neat test papers thoughtfully, and there was a scholar with a sluggish face and a weak and undisciplined face.

As soon as he handed the paper to Chen Lao's hand, Chu Nian suddenly smelled an unusual bloody breath, and then, she saw the sharp knife hidden under the test paper, Chu Nian was far away, and there was no light work, so he couldn't stop it, so he could only shout, "Be careful!" Then he watched the knife swing and stab at the shocked Chen Lao's chest, at this time, an inky figure suddenly flashed, Chen Lao's body was pushed aside, and on the arm that was not too thick, a cold blade was deeply inserted into Ming Xiu's arm.

Chen Lao hurriedly shouted, "Someone! There are assassins! ”

At this point, Chu Nian seemed to be stimulated by Ming Xiu's blood, her face was pale for a while, she took three steps and two steps, and slapped a palm on the scholar who looked very thin, but this time it was like hitting an iron plate, Chu Nian's hand was shocked and numb, but the scholar did not move at all.

In the blink of an eye, the scholar turned his head, and Chu Nian looked at a pair of lost eyes, and his heart was indescribably awkward.

Immediately afterwards, the "body" fell to the ground, and in full view of everyone, the "person" who had just stabbed people with a knife turned into a humanoid iron plate.

Chu Nian didn't have time to think so much, he just reached out and covered Ming Xiu's bleeding arm, "Your Highness, Imperial Doctor!" Your Highness is wounded! Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”

For a while, the exam couldn't go on, the candidates were in a mess, and Old Man Chen went out early to call the guards guarding the door, and he looked at the iron man lying on the ground, dumbfounded.

Ye Yuan was the first to react, and took the body of Ming Xiu who was weak because of bleeding from Chu Nian's arms, Chu Nian raised his eyes, and seemed to look at Ming Xiu's resentful eyes, but it was fleeting, Chu Nian reluctantly took Ming Xiu from Ye Yuan's arms, and said embarrassedly: "He is very heavy, I'll come." ”

Without waiting for Ye Yuan to think about it, he saw the smile on the corner of Ming Xiu's mouth, and suddenly his heart was turbulent, this His Royal Highness the Prince, didn't he say that he was really stupid? Why can you still laugh after such a serious injury? Why do you have the strength to laugh and lean on the county lord? Also, what do you mean by the county lord's words? Although he is only a scholar who does not know martial arts...... But he's a man, too!

How can a woman say that a man's strength is not as good as her own!

Ye Yuan thought far away, and his thoughts couldn't drift back for a while, so he had to look at Ming Xiu, who was injured and smiling more and more brightly, and the county lord who was thin but holding a big man who didn't even gasp, and the wind was messy.
