stayed in the inn for one night, and the next day, Qin Nan was still resting in the room, and Lu You had already arrived.

Lu You slammed the door and said hurriedly: "Qin Nan, are you there? I have something to look for you." ”

Qin Nan opened his eyes and said, "Lu You, come in." ”

Lu You hurriedly walked in, looking very anxious, as if something big had happened.

"What's wrong?" Qin Nan asked, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"The martial arts list has been sent down, but there is no name for you. ”

Lu You couldn't catch his breath up and down, obviously running in a hurry. She went to see the official martial arts list early in the morning, but no matter how she looked for it, she couldn't find Qin Nan's name, but she and Li Hongzhang did.

The thirty-eighth prince is not, but this person is purely playing tickets, even if he passes the assessment, he will not join the army.

When Qin Nan heard this, he was immediately shocked, his expression was solemn, and he said to himself, "How is it possible?"

At this moment, Qin Nan recalled that when he was in Juying Tower, the eyes of Lao Shan and Qin Yi, and their resentful looks, left a deep impression on Qin Nan.

At that time, Lao Shan said that Qin Nan should not join the army, because it was all in vain, Qin Nan didn't pay much attention to it at that time. Now it seems that they should have done something on the list and replaced Qin Nan's place.

Thinking of this, Qin Nan was immediately relieved, it seemed that Lao Shan was manipulating him, but they were actually able to do something on the martial arts list.

This is the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the king's law is clear, and the claws of these dog thieves can stretch so far, which makes people angry.

The current fact is that Qin Nan's quota for joining the army has been replaced by others. He worked hard to go through life and death, and the place he got to join the army was just gone?

"Qin Nan, I'm sorry. ”

Lu You said in a very sorry tone.

Qin Nan took two steps forward and said, "Lu You, don't be sad, it's none of your business. ”

On the surface, he said this with a calm expression, but Qin Nan was very angry in his heart, he never expected that Qin Yi and these people would actually use such means against him.

"Qin Nan, don't worry, I have already written to my father, and Uncle Hongzhang has also gone to find the thirty-eighth prince, I believe there will be news soon. ”

Lu You comforted Qin Nan, and as soon as she got the news, she wrote a letter to her father Lu Feng, telling that Qin Nan's place in the army was replaced.

However, her father's side may not be able to help much, after all, Lu Feng is only the governor of Qingyang Province now, and he can only control the affairs in Qingyang Province, and I am afraid that the people in the imperial city will not be able to help, at most they can use their connections to support the relationship.

Besides, the imperial city is thousands of miles away from Qingyang Province, and it will not be possible to wait for this letter to be sent back in half a month. The matter of joining the army can't wait so long, at most a few days, everyone will go to the army.

In addition, Li Hongzhang is also starting to operate, this kind of substitution happens from time to time, but he didn't expect that this time, it actually fell on the heads of the people around him, which really made him angry.

At that time, he went to find the thirty-eighth prince, but fortunately the latter lived in the imperial city. Speaking of which, Lu You and Li Hongzhang also have some connections, and if they investigate easily, I believe that the results will come out soon.

Qin Nan nodded, he still trusted Lu You and Li Hongzhang's skills.

As a result, both of them fell into waiting, just to see if there would be a result on the side of the thirty-eighth prince.

At noon, Li Hongzhang came back, and he came directly to Qin Nan's room.

"Brother Nan, I'm back. ”

Li Hongzhang said a word, running sweating profusely, it can be seen that he has a lot of worry about this matter.

"Uncle Hongzhang, what's wrong?What did the thirty-eighth prince say?" Lu You was more anxious than Qin Nan, and as soon as he saw Li Hongzhang, he hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the result.

Li Hongzhang shook his head, his expression was solemn, and said: "After he heard about this matter, he was also very shocked, he said that he would definitely help with this favor, and he was already sending someone to investigate, but it may be a little later before there is news, he said that he would come over in the evening." ”

Hearing this, Lu You was slightly disappointed, lowering his face, not very pleasant. The prince is certainly very powerful, but it also takes time to investigate the matter.

Compared with Lu You, Qin Nan is still a little more stable, except for the big fluctuations in his heart, his expression has not changed much, and he is very calm. At this time, what's the use of being anxious?

For an afternoon, the three of them gathered in Qin Nan's room, and none of them left.

Qin Nan is better, but Li Hongzhang and Lu Youke are worried. Qin Nan has made a lot of contributions along the way, and he has made the greatest contribution, but when it came time to release the list, Qin Nan's quota was replaced, how could this not make them angry?

Besides, the matter of joining the army was mentioned by Li Hongzhang, he felt that now that he had developed to this point, he was very sorry for Qin Nan, and he felt very guilty in his heart, he was too a failure to be a brother.

But what can be done now? Even the prince said that he would have to investigate before there would be a result, and he, Li Hongzhang, was not even a guerrilla general now, but just a small soldier who had just become a small soldier, and he was just an ordinary ordinary ordinary man.

And so the afternoon passed.

At night, it was dark, and several people were still waiting for news in Qin Nan's room.

After a while, the thirty-eighth prince really came, and with a few great martial artists to escort him, he directly entered Qin Nan's room.

"Teacher, Lu Shimei"

It could be seen that the thirty-eighth prince was also in a hurry, panting and sweating.

"Prince, how is it?" Li Hongzhang took the lead in asking.

When the thirty-eighth prince heard this, his expression was solemn and he shook his head.

Immediately, the thirty-eighth prince turned to Qin Nan's side and said, "Qin Nan, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle?" If it is Wenbang, no one dares to move if they are given ten guts, but Wubang will be difficult, I have already handed over the matter to the second brother and let him deal with it, but it is difficult to say whether there is a result or not." ”

When Qin Nan and the other three heard this, they all looked stunned, and even the Eighteen Princes couldn't handle this matter?

And it has already alarmed the second prince.

I only heard the thirty-eighth prince say again: "I need to say that this time the recruitment of troops was handled by my eldest brother, the crown prince, and all the examiners were his people from beginning to end, so it can be said that their minions are densely covered, and I estimate that my second brother can't do it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Nan and the others were shocked again, even the second prince might not be able to do it, and the hope of not being able to do it was greater than it could be done.

The thirty-eighth prince revealed a very important information, that is, the recruitment of troops was all operated by the prince, and the examiners and others in it were all his prince's forces, which could be described as leaky.
