At this time, the old man and the two guards rushed to the middle-aged man's side, and one of the guards investigated the two beggars, took the dagger and looked at it, and then turned around and said, "The dagger is poisonous, and the person is dead." ”

The three of them knelt down at the same time and pleaded guilty: "Weichen and others are incompetent, it is too late to save the driver, the assassin disturbs the holy driver, and please ask the emperor to give the guilt!"

The idlers who were watching at the scene were all stunned, opening their big mouths, but they were silent, including Xu Yang, of course, he was pretending.

This person is actually the current saint Qianlong?

Except for Xu Yang, no one present could think of it, and no one dared to think about it.

Although it has been rumored that Emperor Qianlong likes to pay private interviews with micro-services, everyone only listens to it as if it is a legendary story, today...... Did you see the living emperor?

As for Xu Yang, he already knew the identity of this middle-aged man.

That old man has strong martial arts skills, and he is a good fist and kick, such a skill, it is rare in the world.

At this time in the imperial capital, the senior master who can talk to Zhang Zhao about the short and long is obviously Bai Zhen, Qianlong's bodyguard in "Book of Swords and Enmity".

So who is that middle-aged man, do you need to ask more?

However, although he already knew the identity of the other party, Xu Yang still had to pretend to be an unknown onlooker, otherwise if the other party investigated his words that were against Qianlong's poems, it would be the crime of bullying the king, and it would be the lightest...... Beheadings are also to be cut off.

In view of Xu Yang's special attribute of feeding the whole family without starving, it makes no difference to him whether the lightest or the heaviest disposition.

Well, now is not the time to think about this, Xu Yang is still very confident in his acting skills.

Qianlong was suddenly assassinated, his heart was agitated, and he was speechless for a while.

He is 42 years old and has been on the throne for 18 years.

He has also been on patrol many times before, and he has been to the farthest Jiangnan a few times, and he has finally encountered tigers in the mountains, even if there are occasional lawless gangsters who intend to offend, most of them have already been solved by the guards or the Royal Forest Army before they offend him.

The biggest crisis in his life so far should have been two or three months ago, when the helmsman of the Red Flower Society broke into the palace late at night in Wanting.

However, Yu Wanting came to negotiate conditions with him, and he was asked for him, Qianlong was neither humble nor arrogant, and the other party was also polite, but it was more shocking than dangerous.

And this time, two nameless beggars burst out and hurt people, and in an instant, almost five steps of blood were splattered.

If it weren't for that Xu Yang to save the driver in time, he would inevitably suffer misfortune.

Just now, the guard also said that the dagger was poisonous, and now that I think about it, even if it is not a fatal injury, I may be poisoned to death.

This Xu Yang must be rewarded!

This was the first thought that rose in Qianlong's heart, however, the second thought that followed made his whole heart feel like falling into an ice cave.

If these two assassins had colluded with Xu Yang, wouldn't it mean that they had a bigger conspiracy going on?

The emperor's mind is that he can't trust anyone.

Even his parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters, when they should be killed, if it is just a meal of wine, a life-saving grace, let Qianlong give up all suspicions, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

However, Qianlong thought that if Xu Yang was the mastermind of the whole conspiracy, if he wanted to take his own life, he didn't even have to take action himself just now, as long as he stood by and watched, he would be unable to escape tonight.

Is there a conspiracy in this world that is greater than the assassination of the king?

The ambivalence made Qianlong slowly calm down from his frightened gaffe.

At this moment, his identity has been exposed, and if he doesn't deal with it properly, it will be a crisis in both the government and the opposition.

The emperor can't make mistakes, the emperor can't make mistakes.

"The three Qing families, please get up, this treacherous villain's assassination is really unguardable, no wonder the three Qing families. Instead of being angry, Qianlong comforted the three of them with gentle words.

turned around and glanced at Xu Yang again.

If the shock is too long, it is inevitable that the acting skills are not mellow enough, at this time, Xu Yang has also recovered from the shocked expression on his face, pretending to be suddenly enlightened and surprised, and pretending to salute Qianlong.

Qianlong hurriedly helped Xu Yang up: "Xu ...... Xu Yang, you have made a meritorious contribution to saving the driver today, and I must reward you greatly. I didn't know how to call Xu Yang for a while, Qianlong originally wanted to continue to call him Brother Xu, but as an emperor, in front of the public, there are too many things to be careful about, and after thinking about it, I can only call Xu Yang's name.

Xu Yang naturally followed Qianlong's support and stood up straight, although it was appropriate to salute the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, but the soul in his body came from the later generations, and if he could avoid it, he would be exempted.

Hearing Qianlong say that he wanted to reward himself, he was very happy.

But the reward is okay, the seal will be exempted, and after walking the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that you will meet the heroes of the Red Flower Society, if you are an official of the imperial court, it is not easy to get along with.

So he first thanked him, and then replied: "Thank you, Lord Longen, but the villain has ancestral training, and he is not allowed to enter the court as an official, not to mention that the villain is also self-protected just now, and he failed to escort him at the first time. ”

Qianlong shook his head and said: "You don't know my identity, it's rare to come to save me after you can protect yourself, how can you punish the crime." "After thinking about it, it is true that if Xu Yang made him an official just because he rescued him, I am afraid that everyone in the court will not be convinced, and Xu Yang's identity has not yet been determined, it is really not suitable for excessive rewards.

What's more, if Xu Yang is appointed as an official, he will definitely not be able to communicate like this in the future, for the emperor, a courtier who is only a promise has more or less, and a friend who can talk about poetry and literature is rare for friends who discuss the past and the present.

"In this way, it is indeed not easy to make you an official for a while, so I will give you a jade pendant first, and in the future, you can freely enter and leave the forbidden palace with this jade pendant, and see me at any time. He casually took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Xu Yang.

Xu Yang first thanked the emperor for his grace, and then took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

The first feeling is that this piece of jade is white in color, warm to the touch, even in the night, you can see that the jade is crystal clear, and it is definitely a good jade.

Of course, the jade pendants worn by the emperor are at least the best jade carvings, even if the carving is slightly inferior or the jade quality is not pure, it is impossible to be selected for the royal use.

The front of the jade pendant carved a magpie standing on the plum branch chirping pattern, take the homonym for the joy of the eyebrows, the surrounding decoration of the moire, is for the continuous, auspicious decorative pattern.

The back is engraved with eight words, "if the product is fragrant bones, people are like jade hearts", the font is square, the pen is strong, and it can be seen that it is also from the hands of famous artists.

This piece of jade is extraordinary.

As a money fan, he can only use the most direct price as an evaluation of this jade pendant.

Even now, this piece of jade is at least worth more than 50,000 taels, and it is not counted as a royal thing.
