Early the next morning.

Yi Chen sat up from the bed suddenly, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were slightly dull.

I don't know when I started, I actually had nightmares, and there was only one content of the dream, that is, the scene when I stepped into the thatched hut formation of Yi Comeshi, and Xuan Cang said to him, "I haven't failed yet......

Maybe it's just a sentence for ordinary people, how can it be called a nightmare, but for the guardian who killed Xuan Cang with his own hands, this is simply an alternative torment, he guesses that there must be something strange in this, but he can't figure it out for the time being, so he can only slowly find the answer later.

This once said that he alone dominated the world, how could he not be respected, got up and stretched, changed his clothes, and swaggered out of the door.

He remembered Wang Lan's words yesterday, and today he wanted to ask for an understanding, this white-clothed state order is really more and more incomprehensible.

"Young Master Yi Chen, I've been waiting for you for a while. ”

As soon as Yi Chen walked in the door, he saw that the state magistrate was writing calligraphy leisurely, only to see that it was written, "No one stands at dusk with me, no one asks me about porridge and warmth, no one turns off the lights with me, no one shares my book for half a life, no one accompanies me late at night, no one shares wine with me, no one wipes my lovesick tears, no one dreams of me and the future, no one accompanies me Gu Xingchen, no one wakes up and my tea is cold."

"Sure enough, the reader is sullen, this is simply a model for my generation......"

Because the clothes had been damaged in last night's battle, Wang Miaoyan had to bring his father's white clothes to change for him.

When Wang Lan put away the last painting, he looked up at the young man who had only noticed the weight of the instrument from the beginning.

"The state commander is really good and eloquent! This word looks strong and powerful, and it is three points into the wood. This word, in the whole world, no one can compare with it, I'm afraid that except for the state commander, no one can write such a wonderful word!" Yi Chen smiled on his face, and silently added the word 'Sao' in his heart.

After hearing this, Wang Lan laughed and scolded: "Get out, you kid don't make sycophants." ”

"The sage said, Confucian children should not spit fragrant fragrance. ”

“......”

"You kid must talk to death, don't you!"

"I can't hide it, I'm here to talk about business today, and I'm still alive today......"

Yi Chen looked at Wang Lan, who was feigned angry and inward-looking, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Okay, let's talk about business, I said at the night dinner last night that I would hold a martial arts competition covering the whole state in Jinzhou City, and the notice has been issued, I believe that there will be a large number of capable people with lofty ideals, heroes in the rivers and lakes, and children of the family in the next few days. ”

"I know, but I'm not going to participate in any boring jousting, what does that have to do with me?"

"Of course it matters, what are you thinking about these days, do you think I can't guess? Don't you want to use my help here to enter the temple?"

The young man dressed in white thought a little in his heart, but he had this plan, but entering the temple was not the real purpose, but it was just a springboard to achieve the goal.

"It seems that the state commander is right to say this, I do have such an idea, but it is not necessary, if the adults are willing to put the icing on the cake, they are still very happy to do so. ”

Wang Lan looked at Yi Chen, who pretended not to care, and he said coldly: "You kid don't give the state order a sloppy eye, what is the icing on the cake, what I said is the same as begging you to do something for you." ”

Seeing that the young man was still smiling, the majesty he had finally brought up was lost again, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay, good, icing on the cake." But do you know what the real purpose of this tournament is?"

Yi Chen shook his head slightly, he hadn't read the notice yet, who knew how it was written.

"There are two reasons for this competition, one is to recruit a son-in-law for the official, and the second is to get a reward. This reward is different, it is a martial arts master-level exercise, similar to Brother Ke's self-created 'crossing the river' last night, I believe that these two reasons, no matter which one is impossible to refuse. ”

"But this shouldn't be very attractive to you, and when you faced the enemy last night, I saw that you actually used a roar across the river. Although the power is much worse, you can learn it after only watching it a few times, and this official can only sigh that you are indeed a genius. Wang Lan sighed deeply when he said this, people are more popular than people.

"Even if people from other states come to Jinzhou to participate in this competition under the guise of others, it is not impossible, the temptation of the martial arts master is not something that anyone can resist, of course, the most important thing is the daughter of the state order, who doesn't want to kiss Fangze. ”

Yi Chen opened his mouth slightly, and almost said, "I'm afraid you're not a female madman."

"Since Lord Governor has said so much, what do you need me to do?"

Wang Lan looked at this son-in-law he liked and chuckled: "It's very simple, I want you to win the first place!"

Without waiting for Yi Chen to speak, he continued: "This martial arts competition is actually secretly to elect a new military captain, Jinzhou General Shi Benlei led the 20,000 elite soldiers drawn from the garrison army from all over the country to rush to the Great Wall of the border first, and this new military captain is to lead the recruited new army, and after a month of emergency training, he will directly enter the border, of course, the captain is only responsible for bringing the new army to the Great Wall, and then listen to the specific deployment arrangements of General Chen Mengqi. ”

"Today's Xuanzhi is not like the forced conscription of the people in the past, I am afraid that there will not be many people who volunteer to join the army in this war, and it is expected that 5,000 new troops can be recruited from Jinzhou even if the task explained above has been completed, after all, it has not yet reached the most tense time, and there is no need for all the people to be soldiers, which will make the country turbulent. It's just that I have to tell about this after the finals, that is, to see who is the real loyal person, who is willing to be the first in the face of national disasters, who is willing to take the lead in the face of national disasters, and who has a good character, so that I can rest assured. ”

Yi Chen pondered for a moment and said: "I probably know the idea of the state order, even if I can win the top spot at that time, but if I don't want to or don't dare, it means that there is no possibility of becoming the son-in-law of the state order, in the final analysis, in addition to this first place, there is basically only an encouragement award behind it." It's really a ring, how can I feel like I've jumped into a pit?"

The white-clothed state order got up, put his hands behind his back and said comfortably: "I'll tell you clearly, my favorite son-in-law in my heart is you, and this first-place reward is for you to put it bluntly." Of course, the premise is that you are not defeated, and if you really fail to get the first place, then the person who won the first place is willing to be the new military captain, and when he can return from the battlefield alive, I will naturally have to agree to the promised reward. ”

"What if I refuse to participate?"

"I don't think you have any reason to refuse, of course, even if you refuse, it doesn't seem to be much of a loss to me, but the son-in-law I like flies like a boiled duck. But wouldn't it be a waste for you to waste so much effort to capture the old and indulge in the past, and to retreat as advance?" Wang Lan stared at Yi Chen lightly, as if he was confident that the young man would not refuse, and his eyes seemed to have already seen through the true thoughts of the person in front of him.

Yi Chen was still sitting there, he was silent with his back to Wang Lan, and after a while, he exhaled a turbid breath and said softly: "Wu Wu's second." ”

"So confident after being so badly injured?"

"Since you've said that I have no reason to refuse, do I have a reason to lose? As for the injury, I will find a way to deal with it myself. The young man turned his head and stared at the white-clothed state commander who seemed to have eaten him thoroughly, although his face was not wavering, in fact, he was already a little chilly in his heart, he was so manipulated, but he really had no reason to refuse.

He almost refused just now, but if he did that, it is still unknown who will regret it in the future.

The white-clothed state order looked at Yi Chen, who was a little arrogant, directly ignored his somewhat indifferent attitude, and said softly: "Then the state order will wait and see, I hope you don't let me down." Don't let Miao Yan down......" But he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"But one thing I'm curious about, Miss Wang was sold like a commodity by you like this, and you are so happy to go?"

As if he had struck the sore spot of this elegant state order, his voice also cooled down and said: "Whether I am a father or a minister of the empire, I have a last resort, and I really have to do it as a last resort. If everyone in this world is unfettered and does their own thing, wouldn't it be a mess!"

Yi Chen stopped talking, got up and left straight away.

If this conversation continues, I am afraid that it will turn into a-for-tat outcome, which is an outcome that neither of them wants to foresee.

However, at this time, one was seen through the coercion, and the other was deliberately poked in the underbelly, and both of them were not in a good mood, so it was better to end the conversation directly.

"Lord Governor, I will leave first, and when the event starts, I will go by myself, and I promise not to disappoint you!"

After the young man left, Wang Lan stood in place, he seemed to look at the distant sky with some distraction and muttered: "Jinzhou Order is right, the Rakshasa Hall Master is right, it's just Wang Lan who is the father who is wrong......"

After a while, he laughed miserably: "No, I'm not wrong, I'm all for Miao Yan's good." ”

From the time he received the secret edict of the first emperor, he was already in prison, although he was a feudal official, he couldn't help himself.

For countless days and nights, he spent himself tormenting, and his heart was burdened with a very heavy burden.

After all, he is no longer the ruthless and ruthless Rakshasa secret agent of twenty years ago, and that cold heart has long been warmed by his wife, children, and human feelings, and has changed from stiff to exquisite.

As soon as Yi Chen walked out of the study room of the state mansion, he saw Wang Miaoyan who was already in tears around the corner.

The strong woman really didn't know that this large-scale competition was actually based on herself.

She really couldn't imagine that her father, who loved and doted on her so much, would use herself as a bargaining chip to press out, so that the always sensible Miss Wang couldn't accept it.

This woman, who was called by her father to have a posture of captivating the country and the city, who didn't want to kiss Fangze, had hazy tears, she only felt that her breath was in great pain, and she seemed to be a little out of breath, just crying vigorously.

"Oh no, this kind of great emotional contrast impact, it won't be sudden death. Although Yi Chen didn't have that kind of love for this Miao Yan girl, but with so many special contacts, how could she not watch her abuse herself like this.

Yi Chen hurriedly ran over and lit up a few acupuncture points on the woman's body, letting her calm down, looking at the crying poor woman, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her in his heart, and couldn't help but gently brush the woman's three thousand green silks.

In the study, Wang Lan, who was quietly watching all this, couldn't help but sigh, he had already discovered his daughter's movements, but he didn't break it and deliberately said it to her, which would be known sooner or later.
