CHAPTER XXXI

Everyone looked at Zhao Xiaotian together, some people didn't know anything about this matter, some people only knew some details, and some people knew all the details, but at this time, they were all calm and waiting for Zhao Xiaotian to speak. Zhao Xiaotian looked around and said, "That day, I pretended to be Jiang Anlin to find the second princess, and when I met her in Yueyue Building, I made a statement to test her affection for the second son of Fenglei. Sure enough, the second princess had no interest in them, and even a little disgusted, but she was also a little helpless, after all, Feng Weiming and Lei Shuangjian were the most relied on and trusted people by Emperor Xiang. So, I took the opportunity to inform the second princess of the plan discussed between Gongzi and Xiaotong in the name of Jiang Anlin, and asked her to act according to the plan, so that the second princess could get rid of the entanglement......"

It turned out that the second princess was awarded the secret plan by "Jiang Anlin" that day, and after returning to the palace, she begged Emperor Xiang to follow Beishu's example and recruit relatives, Feng Zhan and Lei Hong were naturally selected, and the other three candidates were all selected by the second princess, but she did something to the five candidates. First of all, he sent a fake pro-post to Xu Pan, it was necessary to check the pro-post on the day of recruitment, Kou Jin, the master of ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites, had a gap with Xu Wen, and Chen Cihai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was notoriously ruthless, this Xu Pan would inevitably be eliminated first, even if he was lucky enough to pass the inspection, there would be a follow-up.

Pang Cheng Hou You Sidao is not good at writing, and Shen Juan is not good at martial arts, but the rules of the literary test, martial arts test, and physical test are set by the second princess, which is to eliminate these two people at these two levels.

There is no problem with the bow used for Feng Zhan, but the arrows he used are made of hands and feet, and the two wings of the arrow are heavier on one side and lighter on the other, so that after shooting, it will be biased no matter what, even if Feng Zhan really has the ability of Houyi Li Guangzhi, it will not help.

Lei Hong is the most lustful, and there are occasional rumors in the capital, otherwise there would be no Xia Tao. The second princess ordered the two imperial doctors Qin and Liu in advance to wait for the physical examination, and they must "find out" that Lei Hong has the disease of flowers and willows, otherwise they will pluck out the hair and beard of the two of them, and then throw them to the fortification supervisor to do hard labor. How dare the two of them disobey their orders, so they had to use clever means to diagnose Lei Hong with a willow disease. If Xu Pan can get lucky to the last hurdle, he will also be diagnosed with a willow disease, and he is also "lucky", he will be eliminated before the test starts, otherwise he will be greatly embarrassed.

After hearing this, everyone laughed, and Yue Xian said: "Xu, You, Shen, and Feng don't do evil on weekdays, so it's just a little trick to let them retreat from the difficulties." But for such a big evil as Lei's father and son, there is no need to talk about morality. ”

The second elder of the peacemaker asked: "What about Lei Shuangjian? His son was defeated, so what happened to him?"

Zhao Xiaotian said: "Gongzi ordered me to pretend to be Xia Zhen, and Feng Weiming and Chen Quan recommended it to the little eunuch Che Hua next to the Queen Mother, only saying that it was a trick in the rivers and lakes, and deliberately let Lei Shuangjian see it from afar." The original intention was to scare him into weakness, so that when Lei Hong was diagnosed with Hualiu, the handwriting on Lei Shuangjian's face appeared, and Feng Weiming would refer to him in front of the emperor. Even if I can't get involved with him, I can sue him in the name of Xia Zhen at the Queen Mother, who loves this kind of thing the most. Who knew that Lei Shuangjian himself went crazy first, which saved us a lot of trouble. ”

Xiaotong said: "I'm afraid he's pretending to be crazy." ”

The second peacemaker didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Why is he pretending to be crazy?"

Xiaotong said: "I can't say it either, but I think that if I am Lei Shuangjian, in that case, the best choice is to pretend to be crazy." As he spoke, he looked at Yue Xian, Yue Xian nodded, and then Xiao Tong's words said: "Pretending to be crazy still has a chance to survive until the left army comes back, and he will be interrogated in person." Otherwise, several things add up, the Lei father and son, today...... It's hard to say. ”

The second elder looked at each other, naturally he didn't understand the reason, and was about to continue to ask, so he heard Yue Lin say: "It's not too early, I'll go and rest first." Everyone got up to see each other off, and when they went out, Yue Lin turned back to Yue Xian and said, "Be careful." ”

Yue Xian bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

※※※

After everyone dispersed, Yue Xian sat in the room quietly for a while, and suddenly thought of the guqin score sent by the king of Beining yesterday, so it was better to study it in the dead of night, so he took it out, turned it over and read it many times, and always felt that it didn't make sense. I thought: It's better to watch it a hundred times than to act once. So he took the yaoqin out and played it gently according to the score. After playing a cup of tea, Eamon, who was sleeping next door, walked in and said, "Childe, your piano skills are not as good as before." Yue Xian also knew that this bullet was really ugly, and apologized: "Woke you up, right?"

At this time, Xiaotong also walked in, presumably also woken up, and said: "Childe, your piano sound today is indeed ......" He didn't say the next words.

Yue Xian smiled and pointed to the piano score and said, "Oh, it's this piano score sent by Prince Ning, I always can't understand it, so I tried to play it." Not only did the result be difficult to play, but the tune was ...... You have heard that, too. ”

Xiaotong picked up the piano sheet and looked at it for a while, and suddenly said, "Childe, isn't this a piano score?"

"This is obviously a piano score, what are you talking nonsense?" Aemon snapped.

Yue Xian stretched out his hand, motioned for the two of them not to speak yet, pondered for a moment, took the sheet music and looked at each page by candlelight. I walked to the basin again, hesitated, but threw the sheet music into it, and when the sheet music was completely soaked with water, I took it out and checked it. I tossed it all the way, but I didn't find anything. Yue Xian sighed, threw the sheet music on the table, and fell into deep thought again.

Aemon said: "Isn't it just this piano score, as for so much trouble?"

Yue Xian and Xiao Tong didn't answer, Xiao Tong gently shook the water on the piano sheet a few times, and opened it again to look. Suddenly said excitedly: "Childe, you try to play the piano sheet backwards to see." ”

"Oh?" Yue Xian raised his head and felt that he could give it a try, so he laid out the score and played it from back to front as it was written. At the beginning, I only felt that the tune was beautiful, and Yue Xian said in his heart: It must be the right one. Playing and playing, he felt that his mind was a little rippling, and there was a faint feeling of fluttering, Yue Xian only said that things were troubled today, and he was a little tired, so he used his internal strength to stabilize his mind. As soon as the internal force turns in the body, it feels extremely comfortable, and before you know it, the internal force is running faster and faster, and when it reaches the fingertips, it seems to be about to be played out of the strings. I feel that the whole person is wrapped in the sound of the piano, which makes people just want to revel in the sound of the piano and dance, as if there are no more troubles in the world......

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", and the sound of the piano was interrupted, Yue Xian only felt a little in a trance, and vaguely felt that Imaon was shaking himself and shouting: "Childe! Childe!"

Yue Xian tried to stabilize his mind, and finally saw Aemon, who appeared in front of him with an anxious face, and then looked forward, Xiao Tong was lying on the ground.
