During the Warring States Period, the world was in turmoil, and the Qin State had the ambition to dominate and sent troops to invade the Zhao State.

Zhao sent an envoy to Wei for help, but the king of Wei was incompetent and did not dare to send troops because of the majesty of the king of Qin.

King Wei's younger brother Xin Lingjun felt the truth of the death of his lips and teeth, and in desperation, he did not hesitate to take the risk to steal the talisman from the King of Wei. Commanding the Wei army and rejecting Qin, this resolved the crisis of Zhao.

This is the story of stealing talismans to save Zhao, Jiang Shenzhou heard it when he was six years old.

Why did Qin Qiong mention this story? Could it be that the story has something to do with the trial?

Jiang Shenzhou soon knew the answer.

A copper badge was placed on the long case in front of him at this moment.

Qin Qiong stared at the badge and said slowly: "This is the badge of Tiance Mansion, and I will hand it over to someone for safekeeping." Jiang Shenzhou asked, "And then?" ”

Qin Qiong said: "Then, all you have to do is take the badge into your own hands." ”

Jiang Shenzhou couldn't help but laugh: "It's that simple? He originally thought that Qin Qiong would have some problem to test him, but it turned out that he was just stealing a badge. No wonder he would mention the matter of stealing talismans to save Zhao. Qin Qiong nodded: "That's right, I don't care what method you use." ”

Of course, Jiang Shenzhou didn't believe that the test would be so simple, and asked tentatively, "Is there no other condition?" ”

Qin Qiong smiled and said, "Of course there are conditions, first, you can't let him find out." Second, there is only one stick of incense in time. ”

The time for a stick of incense is already very short, and it is even more difficult not to be discovered, Jiang Shenzhou suddenly found that he thought the test was too simple, but since he had accepted it, he would never give up.

Qin Qiong looked at him with a smile, as if asking: Do you still think it's simple now?

Before Jiang Shenzhou could speak, Qin Sheng was already upset for him: "Dad, you are deliberately making things difficult for him!" ”

Qin Qiong was unmoved, and said, "If he is really as smart as you say, how can he be embarrassed?" ”

"But ......" Qin Sheng was still unwilling: "How can it be possible to only have a stick of incense?" ”

Qin Qiong waved his hand: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say it anymore." ”

The test has begun, and the incense burner is placed on the long table, and the incense inside is lit by Qin Qiong himself.

Later, he called a man to hand him the badge. This person Jiang Shenzhou has seen, it is the thin old man beside Qin Sheng.

Now Jiang Shenzhou already knows that his name is Sun Boyan, Sun Boyan is not only the master of Tiance Mansion, but also one of Qin Qiong's most trusted people, because this old man not only has a calm personality, but also acts cautiously and carefully, counting that he has been in Tiance Mansion for almost seventeen years.

During this process, Jiang Shenzhou and Qin Sheng were hiding in the back hall, so Sun Boyan didn't know what was going on. He just put away the badge according to Qin Qiong's instructions.

Sun Boyan is gone, Qin Qiong has also left, only Qin Sheng has not left, of course she can't go. On the one hand, it started because of her. On the other hand, she also hopes that Jiang Shenzhou can pass the test smoothly.

"Have you come up with an idea?" Qin Sheng asked softly.

"Not yet, but I'll think of it." Jiang Shenzhou replied nonchalantly, and he stretched out his hand through the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner, as if holding the time that passed slowly.

Qin Sheng couldn't help but be a little angry: "Why don't you seem to be in a hurry at all." ”

Jiang Shenzhou withdrew his gaze from the green smoke and looked at her with a smile: "It's useless to be in a hurry because you're in a hurry." ”

Sun Boyan is a cautious and cautious person, and he will definitely keep the things that Qin Qiong gives him, which means that he will definitely take them with him. It is not difficult to steal the badge on his body with Jiang Shenzhou's skills, but he will definitely find out afterwards, after all, the badge has weight.

How can you steal the badge without even noticing? Jiang Shenzhou had a flash of inspiration and thought of an idea. Now he just wants to know, where is Sun Boyan?

After Sun Boyan left, he returned to his room, he was about to draft an official document, but was called by Qin Qiong halfway, and now he returned to his place, studied the ink, and picked up the pen.

But as soon as he had dipped his pen in ink, he heard someone calling out to him outside the door, asking him to count the horses that had just arrived.

He put down his pen helplessly, wondering why there were so many things today.

The stables are in the southeast corner, and if you want to go there, you have to go around a few corridors, and when Sun Boyan passed by a corner, he suddenly bumped into a person.

Of course, this person is Jiang Shenzhou, which is not an accident.

Asking Sun Boyan to count the war horses was just to ask him to leave the room, so that Jiang Shenzhou could take the opportunity to steal the badge. At the same time, he will put the other badge back. This badge is Qin Sheng's, and the size and style are similar to the previous one, and you can't tell them apart if you don't look carefully.

But Sun Boyan had no reason to take it out, he didn't know the cause and effect, and he didn't know that someone was going to steal this badge. This was Jiang Shenzhou's idea. It seems that he has succeeded.

However, Sun Boyan had already left, but there was no trace of joy on Jiang Shenzhou's face.

Because he was still holding Qin Sheng's badge in his hand.

"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng asked, she had already seen that Jiang Shenzhou had not succeeded.

"The badge is not on him." Jiang Shenzhou smiled bitterly.

Qin Sheng shook his head, looking unconvinced: "Are you sure?" Sun Boyan has always been steady, and such an important thing will definitely be carried with him. ”

Jiang Shenzhou thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Take me to his study." ”

If he didn't have the badge with him, it was most likely hidden in the study.

The two went to Sun Boyan's room and searched it, almost everywhere, but they couldn't find the badge, and more than half of the time had passed.

Qin Sheng looked at Jiang Shenzhou and asked the same question: "Are you sure the badge is not on him?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I was very sure. Right now...... It's not so sure ......"

Qin Sheng muttered, "Since it's not on your body, could it be hidden in your hat?" Or in the boots? ”

Jiang Shenzhou suddenly realized! How could he not have thought of such a possibility.

But the question arises again, what if Sun Boyan really hides the badge in his hat or boots? He can't blatantly take off his hat and boots.

Unless Sun Boyan takes it off himself.

But why did he take it off himself?

When does a person take off their hat and boots?

Naturally, it's time to take a bath!

What about besides bathing?

When a person is soaking wet, does he take off his hat and boots?

Jiang Shenzhou thought of another idea: Sun Boyan is still in the stable, and there are many large water tanks for brushing in the stable, if Sun Boyan accidentally fell into the water tank while riding a horse......

This time, he was ninety percent sure, but he suffered Sun Boyan.

Although Qin Sheng didn't want to do this, she couldn't think of any other way, there was not much time left, so she had to agree.

Everything went smoothly, Sun Boyan fell into the water tank unexpectedly when he was riding a horse, and he had to go back to the room to change his clothes in embarrassment, while Jiang Shenzhou was already hiding outside the window, watching him take off his hat and boots.

It's just that...... There is still no badge inside.

This time, Jiang Shenzhou miscalculated again, he had nothing to do, and this test was nearing the end.

In the lobby of Zhaowu Hall, Qin Qiong was still sitting behind the long case as he had done at the beginning, this time he was not reading, but was closing his eyes to recuperate.

There was only a little spark left in the incense burner, and gradually the spark was extinguished, and the green smoke dispersed.

Jiang Shenzhou lost, and everything was over.

Qin Qiong slowly opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Shenzhou and said, "Jiang Gongzi, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "There is nothing to say. ”

"You should remember what I said...... Qin Qiong said calmly, "Only by passing the test can you join the Tiance Mansion." ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "I remember. ”

Qin Qiong pointed to the door: "Since that's the case, please go back." ”

Jiang Shenzhou didn't leave, he just stood quietly and didn't speak.

Qin Qiong said coldly: "What are you waiting for?" ”

Jiang Shenzhou was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Before leaving, I want to take another look at the badge, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Qin Qiong nodded and silently handed the badge to Jiang Shenzhou.

The badge was pulled out of his bosom. What's going on? When Jiang Shenzhou left, he obviously saw Sun Boyan still changing clothes in the study, when did he return the badge to Qin Qiong?

Qin Sheng was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why is the badge here, didn't you hand it over to Sun Boyan?" Could it be that from the beginning......" she also apparently saw a problem.

Qin Qiong said lightly: "From the very beginning, I asked Sun Boyan for the badge back. ”

No wonder Jiang Shenzhou couldn't find the badge, because the badge wasn't on Sun Boyan at all.

Qin Sheng stomped his feet angrily and said, "Dad, how can you be like this!" ”

Qin Qiong was unmoved: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, don't you understand this truth?" Although he was talking to Qin Sheng, he looked at Jiang Shenzhou.

Qin Sheng still wanted to argue, but Jiang Shenzhou stopped her and said calmly: "Your father is right, soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”

Qin Qiong said with satisfaction: "It's good that Jiang Gongzi understands." ”

Jiang Shenzhou stared at the badge in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I also hope you understand one thing, I have already won." ”

Qin Qiong said: "Oh? How did you win? ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "Is the badge in my hand now?" ”

Qin Qiong nodded: "Yes." ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "Did Sun Boyan find out? ”

Qin Qiong nodded again: "No." But you seem to have forgotten one thing: the time has passed. ”

Jiang Shenzhou said: "What if the time for a stick of incense hasn't come yet?" ”

After saying that, he walked into the back hall, and when he came out, he already had an incense burner in his hand, which was exactly the same as the one on the long table, except that there was still the last bit of incense left on it.

What's going on? Why is there an extra incense burner?

Qin Sheng was puzzled and asked, "What you have in your hand is ......?"

Jiang Shenzhou said: "It's the incense that your father lit with his own hands." ”

He pointed to the incense burner on the long table and said, "And this burn has been burned, but I took it from the back hall." He explained: "There happened to be the same incense burner in the back hall. ”

Qin Sheng suddenly realized that she had already understood Jiang Shenzhou's "trick". He first changed the incense burner to make Qin Qiong mistakenly think that the time had come, and then deliberately showed weakness and got the badge. Now that the time has not yet come, the badge is in his hand again. According to the agreement, Jiang Shenzhou won.

"You dare to fool me?" Qin Qiong's face sank and looked at him coldly.

"Soldiers are not tired of cheating, this is what the general said himself." Facing Qin Qiong's angry face, Jiang Shenzhou was not afraid.

Neither of them spoke, just stared at each other-for-tat.

The air was silent, almost suffocating.

At this moment, Qin Qiong suddenly stood up and laughed: "Okay! Very good! Not only are you as smart as Sheng'er said, but it is even more rare that you are so calm at such a young age. ”

It turned out that he deliberately wanted to test Jiang Shenzhou's reaction, and he was not disappointed.

Jiang Shenzhou said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the general, in fact, I am covered in cold sweat now." ”

Qin Sheng also smiled, and said with a smile: "Dad, so you agree with him to join Tiance Mansion?" ”

Qin Qiong gently stroked her head and smiled happily: "Since Jiang Gongzi has passed the test, how can Dad break his promise?" ”

Qin Sheng took his hand and asked, "In that case, what position do you plan to let him hold?" She smiled sweetly and looked happier than Jiang Shenzhou.

Qin Qiong said: "The answer is on the badge in his hand. ”

The badge is in Jiang Shenzhou's hand at the moment, and there are seven words engraved in this cloud-patterned badge: Tiance Mansion Military Counselor Wine.

The military counselor - the one in charge of military affairs. When he was in Fuchu, he was a military staff officer, responsible for teaching the art of war, battle formations, and the daily training of soldiers. Outside, he is the think tank of the army, responsible for making plans and directing operations.

In the official system of Tiance Mansion, the military counselor and sacrificial wine officer are in the sixth grade, and the official rank is second only to Changshi, Sima, and Shilangzhong. Counting up, Jiang Shenzhou is already one level higher than Qin Sheng and Sun Boyan.

Palisa was right, Qin Qiong really valued him.

Thinking of Palixia, Jiang Shenzhou thought of another question: Tiance Mansion was heavily guarded, how did she know the news inside? He had asked this question last time, but she deliberately avoided it.

What is the secret of this quirky little girl? Why is it always so mysterious?

Forget it, I've successfully joined Tiance Mansion anyway, so let's think about this problem in the future.

Jiang Shenzhou walked out of Tiance Mansion with a smile and walked west.

To the west is Chang'an West City, and now he only wants to do one thing - eat a crispy and delicious Hu Cake.

As soon as he thought of Hu Cake, his saliva couldn't help but flow out.
