At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the shortlisted selection of the "Jichun Craftsman Union" was finally settled.

When the results of the "Spring Reward Silver Coin" vote were read out by the first seat of the Wujue Temple, the people present were stunned for a moment, and then they were greatly surprised.

I have to say that this year's "Jichun Craftsman Union" is simply too interesting.

In the past, the competition of all the shortlisted exhibits was one vote for you and one vote for me, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

But this time, among the ten shortlisted exhibits, the number of votes for the bottom nine is normal, but the number of votes for the first and second places is a cliff-like drop.

This is something that has not happened in the "Jichun Craftsman Union" for decades.

The first seat of the Wujue Temple reads: "Ye Guopan Dragon Carriage, shortlisted in the top ten, won the Spring Reward Silver Coin Votes - 416."

And the second place, Thousand Spiders, only got eighty-three.

The remaining three, four, to ten are also dozens of votes.

More than 200 wealthy gentry and businessmen from all over the world voted together, but they voted for such a huge disparity, which was really the first in the "Jichun Craftsman Union".

In the past, the balance of votes was only a dozen or twenty at most, you know, there are hundreds of people, each with their own preferences, and the aesthetics and requirements are different.

But this time, the Panlong carriage built by Ye Guo has almost been unanimously recognized.

The first said: "Congratulations to the top ten, tomorrow will be the final of the best, I hope you will go to the Hall of Thousand Trees on time."

"Hall of a Thousand Trees, Hall of a Thousand Trees! A-Qing, we are shortlisted! Shortlisted!"

Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong excitedly grabbed Zheng Quqi's arm, jumped up and down excitedly, and were so happy that they completely ignored the image.

Zheng Quqi was also happy: "I have been shortlisted, how much prize money can I get in the top ten?"

She looked at them with anticipation.

"Ah Qing, there is no prize money yet, and the top ten have to compete for the best, and after they are defeated, the conference will give money to the unsuccessful craftsmen to show encouragement and reward." Mu Gaoyi explained to her.

As soon as he heard that he had to lose the election to be rich, Zheng Quqi's happiness suddenly decreased by half.

「…… I'm going to lose the election."

Wei Yao stepped forward with a smile, Wang Zebang also rarely showed a smile, Runtu still had a poker face, but the relaxation between his eyebrows also showed that he was happy to be shortlisted.

"Heh, just being shortlisted makes you so happy, huh? The craftsmen of Ye have really never seen the world, think about it, it is the vote of a group of profit-seeking businessmen, how can it prevail? Tomorrow is the real master's decision."

A tall, mean-looking man sneered beside him, and then staggered past Zheng Quqi.

Zheng Quqi was inexplicably frightened, and she asked, "No, who is he? If others are unhappy, he should also take care of it?"

"It's like, I think he's jealous that we've been ranked first." Mu Gaoyi echoed her unhappily.

Shi Hetong recalled it and remembered: "It seems to be in the top ten...... By the way, he is the master disciple of Zuo Mo, the master of the Southern Chen Kingdom, Yu Manqi."

Nan Chen Guo master Zuo Mo?

When Zheng Quqi heard this name, her expression changed drastically, and her gaze, which had been a little angry before, became deep, and she looked at Yu Manqi's back.

It turned out to be that person's apprentice.

The craftsman Zuo Mo of the Southern Chen Kingdom who harmed Uncle Mu and Uncle Mu's senior brother.

Although she has now fulfilled Uncle Mu's last wish, Uncle Mu and their revenge have not yet been avenged...... If she has a chance, she will definitely meet that Zuo Mo and see what kind of person he is.

But looking at his apprentice's appearance of no one in his eyes, he would only be an ugly and unbelievable person.

Uncle Mu and the others lost to the female deceitful Zuo Mo in the "Jichun Craftsman Union", so she will take a look this time first, the apprentice he personally taught has a few catties and taels.

——

The exhibits were shortlisted, and the exhibits needed to be placed in the follow-up, which was naturally handled by Wang Zebang and Mu Gaoyi.

It should be mentioned here that there is a charge for food and lodging in the temple, but

If you are shortlisted in the top 10, you will get all fees waived.

"Ma'am."

When he returned to Shanju, Fu Rong came to the door, thinking that he had not shown up before, and he should be following Yu Wensheng to do something.

But then he came back, but he didn't see Yu Wensheng, so she asked, "Where is the general?"

Fu Rong looked left and right, and whispered to her, "The general is injured......

Zheng Quqi's expression tightened: "Why are you injured again?"

Has he been taking pleasure in his injuries lately?

She thought about it for a while, no, this is a temple for worshipping God and Buddha, it is impossible for suspicious people with lethal weapons to break in on a large scale, if the assassin assassinates, just like the person before, wouldn't Yu Wensheng be able to solve it easily?

"What the hell is going on?"

"Actually......

——

Just when Zheng Quqi attracted the attention of most of the people in the "Jichun Craftsman Union", especially even the abbot and the public who couldn't help but go, Yu Wensheng started his action.

He was changed into a set of black clothes for him by Fu Rong, and simply disguised himself, and then broke into the Peacock Pagoda of Wujue Temple, which was not accessible to outsiders.

The Peacock Pagoda is the place where the abbot of the Wujue Temple collects books and offices, a total of three floors high, he borrows the shade of the dense leaves of the tree all the way, successfully reaches the Peacock Tower, and then steps on the eaves to jump into the second floor.

There was no monk guarding the second-story tower, and after he entered through the window, he came to the bookshelf where the books were stored.

"Peacock Pagoda, the second floor, the third line of bookshelves, Julu prepared a map of Shimoda Bulo, and the abbot of Wujue Temple discussed and reached an agreement."

Yu Wensheng's trip to Julu Yongchun City was not to fight with the public loser for a while, nor was it just for the "Jichun Craftsman Union" held by the public loser, but an urgent red secret letter passed back by Ye Guo.

Coming to the third row of bookshelves, Yu Wensheng looked at a wooden box placed on it, is it it?

He stretched out his hand and opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was a letter lying inside, and as he was about to take it, he heard a "click" of the wooden frame out of nowhere, like the subtle sound of the mechanism being activated.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to hear clearly, but Yu Wensheng was strong in martial arts, and he heard the movement at the first time.

But the wooden box is not just an ordinary object.

When the letters inside it were taken, it would activate the mechanism on its own, and a poisoned arrow would shoot out, and he turned his head to avoid it.

The arrows were shot heavily into the wooden frame behind them, causing a lot of movement, and they were immediately discovered by the warrior monks guarding at the bottom of the tower.

"Who broke into the Peacock Tower?!"

Yu Wensheng's eyes swept over the wooden box, and he secretly said in his heart, what kind of organ is this? With such a slight shift in weight, it can be quickly activated, and the place where the weapon is hidden is so hidden that there is no trace of it.

He heard the clatter of the stairs and jumped out of the window, not intending to fight the monks, because he didn't want others to notice that it was his move, and he didn't want to leave evidence of the fact.

As soon as he landed, the warrior monks who had already been guarding around the Peacock Pagoda set out, adding them with fists and sticks, and he immediately waved his palms to block them, and did not sacrifice his weapons.

As far as the wind came, the warrior monks who were not his opponents at all fell to the ground one after another, and Yu Wensheng spun around and jumped into the air, sucking away an iron rod in the air.

With a wave of his palm, the stick was like a fan and slapped towards the warrior monks who got up, and they were once again knocked to the ground.

When Yu Wensheng was about to escape the encirclement of the warrior monk, a flying knife shot out from the window of the second room, which was the warrior monk who had chased him up the tower before.

They are good at flying knives with willow leaves, have excellent eyesight, and are numerous.

He moved to the side, the person was not injured, but he cut the loose rope of the sugar bag around his waist, and seeing the sugar bag slip down, he knew in his heart that he couldn't turn back, he couldn't hesitate, but he-

Or turn around and step back, reach out and grab it.

As he held it in the palm of his hand, he was stabbed in the chest.

Blood spilled out on the spot, soaking the entire placket of the garment.

He shoved the sugar bag in

In front of his chest, he pulled out the blood-stained lancet and threw it on the ground, and seeing the warrior monk chasing after him again, he jumped and dived into the grove.

Getting rid of the pursuit of the warrior monk, Yu Wensheng covered the wound on his chest, and the secret guard immediately stepped forward to treat his wound and apply medicine.

And he had a white face, his eyes were as black as an abyss, staring at the sugar bag in his hand in a daze.

Fang Cai's incident also surprised the secret guards, who could have left unscathed with the master's skills, but he turned back, and was stabbed, and they didn't have time to protect the lord.

"Lord ......"

Yu Wensheng came back to his senses, and he threw the letter in his hand to them: "Destroy it."

"What? It's ruined, but it's ......."

This is the Lord's stolen Shimoda Illustration, why is it about to be destroyed?

Yu Wensheng didn't explain the reason to them, but he knew that this Tianxia Layout was definitely fake.

But he had already guessed where it really was.

"Bitterness, the geese have left traces, you confuse the public with the fake and the true, but you still can't hide it after all." A bloodthirsty smile rose on Yu Wensheng's lips.

——

"Sketches?" When Zheng Quqi heard that it was an important matter in the army, he immediately covered his ears: "Forget it, don't tell me, such an important matter is not something that my little craftsman can manage."

Fu Rong agreed, "I shouldn't have told you in the first place."

Zheng Quchi glared at him: "......" I'll just be polite, are you still serious?

"However, tomorrow, the general will go to the Thousand Trees Hall with his wife, in case Mrs. doesn't know anything, Fu Rong will tell you about it, hoping that Mrs. can help the general."

"Me?" She pointed to her nose, hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm not good, I don't know this or that, how can I help your mighty general."

"Madam, tomorrow the Thousand Trees Hall will hold the final finals, and when the time comes, the abbot of Mi Ku, Gong Lose, and the masters of the Seven Kingdoms will all be present, you don't have to do anything dangerous, you just need to stand in the spotlight and attract everyone's attention."

Zheng Quqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and she confirmed: "Me? Catch everyone's attention?" The corners of her mouth twitched, "You didn't get me a peerless face, what do I rely on to attract others?"

Fu Rong was speechless when he heard this, and at this time, Yu Wensheng walked in with Wang Zebang holding the "weak", and he looked over: "As long as you want, you can."

Zheng Quqi looked at him.

"Although I'm not here today, I heard that you have brought out the bitterness and the public loss, in the past, they would never appear in the exhibition hall in the finalist competition of the Jichun Craftsman Guild, you see, my wife can attract everyone's attention even if she only participates in a finalist competition." He smiled softly at her.

Zheng Quqi saw that his face was as white as a ghost, thinking that he had been sick and injured recently, both miserable and crippled, she sighed: "If I do this, can you be less dangerous?"

Yu Wensheng was stunned.

"If you get hurt again, I'm afraid we won't be able to return to Ye, so I'll do my best to help you." Zheng Quqi said.

It's not that she doesn't know how many people are eyeing them, they are all shocked by Yu Wensheng's prestige this journey, once someone perceives their identity, without Yu Wensheng to support the situation, they may not be able to return to Ye at all, and can only bury their bones elsewhere.

Yu Wensheng clutched the sugar bag tightly in his hand, but there was a smile on his face: "When, are you willing to be with me? Before, didn't you think I was a devil who killed people without blinking?"

When the others saw that the general was talking privately with his wife, they silently withdrew.

Zheng Quqi was silent for a moment, and then whispered: "I am afraid of your violent heart, and I also respect you for guarding your home and defending the country, I am afraid that your hands are stained with blood, and I know that you treat me tolerant...... Yu Wensheng, even if we can't be a real husband and wife, I hope that you will be safe and healthy."

Can't be a real ...... Husband and wife?

His eyes were hard open, red at the end of his eyes, and smile lines at the end of his eyes floated, and he slowly raised his eyes.

"Get out."

Zheng Quqi's heart trembled, avoided his gaze, and went out without saying a word.

Although she blessed him well, every word was like a thorn.

"Zheng Quqi, in your eyes, there is always no self, so why should I have mercy on you?"

He looked at the blood-stained sugar bag in his hand, and it was not until today that he realized that just such a cheap sugar bag that she gave away with embroidered patterns could make him forget about life and death and turn around to take it back.

Her influence had already caused him trouble.

He had seen his father go crazy and demented for the sake of his mother, he had no one to love, and he didn't need love, and all those who stood in his way should be abandoned......

He walked over to the candle flame, carried it, and stared at the flame silently for a moment, before finally putting it on......

——

After Zheng Quqi came out, people were a little dazed and didn't know what they were thinking.

"Ah Qing, what's wrong with you?" Wei Yao walked over.

Outside, he couldn't call her by her real name to save herself from being heard.

"Brother Wei, if the general wants to kill me, you must save me." Zheng Quqi said with a sad face.

Wei Yao laughed: "Why did you make the general angry again?"

They don't know what kind of affection the general has for his wife, because the general was born without emotion, but they know how much the general values his wife.

"I'm a person who can't be gentle and gentle, and I don't know how to talk sweetly, so it's not right for me to say anything."

"You just need to coax the general, and he won't be angry."

"Huh?"

What to coax?.

Is her little life?

She shivered with cold, and said, "Forget it, I'd better go back and think about tomorrow first, Brother Wei, you can also go and rest."

"Hey, Ah Qing, I'll leave the general's affairs tomorrow to you." He said solemnly.

Zheng Quqi suddenly felt the hardships and dangers of tomorrow, and it was the first time she participated in this kind of task, and she was a little nervous: "I will do what I can and do my best."

Wei Yao knew that she was scared, and patted her on the shoulder: "Ah Qing, believe in the general."

She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you and Wang Zebang so desperate for Yu Wensheng?"

He made her believe in the general, which means that in his mind, Yu Wensheng is a person worthy of trust and trust.
