Seeing Luo Haisheng's expression, Jian Chen already knew Shangguan Yunrui's plan.

He used himself to force Luo Haisheng to tell the truth.

"Grass people confess!" Luo Haisheng lowered his head.

"My lord!" Jian Chen stood up. "The subordinates ask the adults for one thing. ”

Say. Lu Qingsong saw that Jian Chen suddenly stopped Luo Haisheng, and he was puzzled.

The subordinates begged the lord to take Luo Haisheng to the side hall, retreat from the crowd, and interrogate Luo Haisheng alone. Of course, the head of the green family should be present. Jian Chen looked at Luo Haisheng.

You would rather die than tell the reason, because it is a matter of the master's family, and you can't be an outsider?" Jian Chen asked Luo Haisheng with the technique of secret sound.

Luo Haisheng looked at Jian Chen and nodded silently.

Chen Jian's secret voice, Shangguan Yunrui heard it in his ears.

What about you? The reason why you insist on refusing to say what happened to you is also because of your master?" Shangguan Yunrui sighed.

Luo Haisheng's case was quickly closed. After Qing He came out of the side hall, his face was gloomy, and he left Pingyang Mansion in a hurry.

As for Luo Haisheng, the verdict is as follows:

Luo Haisheng killed someone in self-defense, was exempted from the death penalty, and was sentenced to 80 canes.

On the same night, Chen Jian was familiar with the road and sneaked into Wulin Garden.

He jumped on the roof of Shangguan Yunrui's bedroom and lifted the tiles to see what was going on inside.

Shangguan Yunrui already knew about Jian Chen's arrival, and he was reading a book at the table and said lightly, "Don't damage my roof." ”

Jian Chen smiled slightly, leaned over, and fell gently into the room.

Shangguan Yunrui didn't raise his head, "Our Chen Da guards have been very free recently, and they are running to me twice in three days?"

Jian Chen sat beside Shangguan Yunrui, "Didn't Senior Brother want me to run more?"

"What's the matter with this time?" Shangguan Yunrui's tone was flat.

"There is one thing that needs to be agreed by the senior brother. ”

Shangguan Yunrui put down the book, "Say." ”

Jian Chen thought for a moment and slowed down his speech as much as possible, "Lord Lu wants me to run for the Praetorian Guard. ”

Shangguan Yunrui did not speak.

"I don't know what Senior Brother means?"

Shangguan Yunrui still didn't speak.

Jian Chen continued, "I didn't want to participate in the originally, but Lord Lu said-"

"Alright. Shangguan Yunrui interrupted him, "You go." ”

Jian Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Shangguan Yunrui to agree so happily this time.

Shangguan Yunrui saw that Jian Chen didn't react, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Don't you want to go? Then-"

"No, I'll go. Chen Jian hurriedly agreed.

"It's just, why did Senior Brother do it this time?" Jian Chen still didn't understand Shangguan Yunrui's intentions.

"You still refuse to tell me, why did you do it to Wan Qian in the Tianshan Mountains in the first place?" Shangguan Yunrui suddenly changed the subject.

Luo Haisheng's incident during the day touched Shangguan Yunrui a lot.

"Senior brother-I-"

"Okay, since you don't want to say it, forget it. Shangguan Yunrui waved his hand. "Let's get down to business. Actually, after today's events, I suddenly had a thought. ”

"After the martial arts conference, we have been looking for the person behind the scenes, but to no avail for a long time, so, I was thinking, maybe you can use your status as a person in the official mansion to start investigating this matter. ”

"Why?" Jian Chen asked.

"Don't you think today's events are a little unusual?" Shangguan Yunrui said.

"Senior brother is saying that Luo Haisheng will take the initiative to come to Pingyang Mansion?"

"Yes, today's incident is actually obvious, it is to provoke the battle between Wulin Yuan and Pingyang Mansion. ”

"I also know this, this qiē is all done by Dong Quan, the old fox. Jian Chen said hatefully.

"Dong Quan is a person who is very good at fighting for fame and profit, but this kind of thing of snipe and clam competing for fishermen and profits is not something he can come up with alone. Moreover, Dong Quan's appearance on Luo Haisheng's escape road was a bit too coincidental, and someone must be secretly communicating with him. ”

"So Senior Brother is asking me to open a gap from Dong Quan?"

"Yes, with your current status as a little guard, there are many things you can't participate in. So this time I need you to join the Praetorian Guard as much as possible, the Praetorian Guard is the person close to the emperor, and getting news from the imperial court is faster than you are running around and working all day in Pingyang Mansion. ”

"There is a question that Chen Jian doesn't know whether to ask or not. Chen Jian said.

"If you have something to say, you don't need a mother-in-law. Shangguan Yunrui urged.

"There is one thing that Jian Chen has never been able to understand. In this martial arts conference, the Tianshan faction was one of the most powerful contenders, however, coincidentally, before the martial arts conference, the Tianshan faction was the most turbulent sect among the major sects in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Yes, it seems that some people in the past are deliberately preventing the Tianshan faction from joining the choice of the martial arts alliance leader. Getting rid of the Tianshan faction will get rid of a big rival. ”

"If that's the case, what is the purpose of those masked people who shot at me on the way to the martial arts conference?"

"If they prevent you from participating in the competition, then it is your senior brother Wan Qian who is most likely to win the championship, which conflicts with their purpose of doing everything possible to prevent the Tianshan Sect from participating in the martial arts tournament. ”

"So, there are a lot of inconsistencies that I can't figure out. ”

"Then don't be too idle in the court, and help me keep an eye on it. Shangguan Yunrui admonished.

"This is natural, it's just—" Jian Chen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to the affairs of the Tianshan faction, and I will inform you as soon as there is any trouble!" Shangguan Yunrui did not raise his head.

Senior brother, you can always know what is in my heart. Jian Chen looked at Shangguan Yunrui with admiration.

At the same time, in the Hou Ye's Mansion.

"So, this plan has failed again?" In Dong Quan's study, a masked man stood.

"It's all because of that Jian Chen. Since he came to Pingyang Mansion, he has ruined many good things for the old man! One day he falls into the hands of the old man, the old man must be—" Dong Quan gritted his teeth with hatred.

"All right, as long as you do what I say, I'll help you deal with him!" the masked man turned, a grim look in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the selection of the Praetorian Guard.

The selection process of the Praetorian Guard is similar to the usual selection of warriors, except that the candidates for the Praetorian Guard need to be recommended to participate, which is also for the safety of the palace.

A total of 10 people were recruited by the Praetorian Guard, but nearly 100 people participated in the selection. On the first day of selection, Chen Jian came to the coaching ground early.

In the coaching ground, it was already crowded, and the candidates for the competition had basically arrived, a table and chair were placed in front of them, and three military attaché-like people were taking a roll call.

"Recommended by Hong Yong, Yushifu;" "Recommended by Bi Xionglai and Shangshufu;" "Recommended by Dong Tianlei and Hou Yefu";――

Listening to the names that came from a lot of background, Jian Chen smiled.

With such a name, it is not easy to be truly fair in the competition. However, since he came, he still had to act according to the rules, Chen Jian silently walked to the roll call stage, "Chen Jian, Pingyang Mansion." ”

The roll call officer who was recording raised his head, "You are Jian Chen?"

Jian Chen nodded.

The roll call officer looked at him carefully again, and said loudly: "Jian Chen, Pingyang Mansion recommends." ”

After the roll call, everyone returned to the school yard and lined up in turn, many people squeezed forward as much as possible, but Chen Jian found a corner and stood silently.

After a while, a man in golden armor came to the middle of the school grounds.

"I am the chief examiner of the selection of the Praetorian Guard, surnamed Yang, and my single name is a bear. ”

Everyone bowed their hands, "Lord Yang!"

"The competition is divided into four competitions, one is archery, two is riding, three is resourceful, and four is martial arts. The first three rounds of the competition eliminated twenty people in each round, and the fourth level of the martial arts competition was two and two duels, and finally ten people were left, and the competition was held every three days. Today they will disperse, and tomorrow they will test their archery skills. Yang Xiong left in a hurry after explaining.

When everyone saw Yang Xiong leaving, they dispersed and began to greet each other. Seeing that everyone was playing haha among themselves, Jian Chen smiled helplessly and turned to leave.

Back in Pingyang Mansion, Chen Jian told Lu Qingsong about today's situation and expressed his concerns: "In the four competitions, it is especially difficult to ride. His subordinates knew very little about riding, and they had never had the opportunity to practice, so it was difficult to deal with it. ”

Gongsun Sun smiled, "Chen Huwei, with your martial arts foundation, I believe that it should not be difficult to make up for your diligence." ”

Chen Jian said to Gongsun Tzu, "Mr. Gongsun has been promoted, and I hope that Mr. Gongsun can find a teacher for his subordinates to teach riding." ”

"It's good that I'll teach my son. As he spoke, a young woman's voice came from outside the door.

Chen Jian looked back and found that the person who came turned out to be Jingmengya.

"The little girl has learned riding since she was a child, and she should be a teacher of her son. Jing Mengya walked past Jian Chen and bowed slightly.

Lu Qingsong and Gongsun looked at the uninvited woman suspiciously.

"She-she's an old friend. ”

Jian Chen paused at Lu Qingsong, pulled up Jingmeng Cliff and hurried out the door.

Leaving Pingyang Mansion, Chen Jian split his head and asked, "My sister is not in Wuzhuang, what are you doing here?"

Jing Mengya said, "The master has not returned, and my sisters have asked me to come out and have a look." ”

Chen Jian smiled, "I'm afraid it wasn't my sisters who called you, you smuggled it out by yourself." ”

Jing Mengya saw that he was broken by Chen Jian's words, and his face turned red, "Anyway, it's all out, and I can still help the master, so the master won't drive me back." ”

Jian Chen smiled slightly, "Okay, it's rare for my sister to come out for a walk, and Jian Chen won't be able to disturb your interest, but here, don't call me master." ”

"Okay. Son. Jing Mengya smiled, "My subordinates understand." ”

With Jing Mengya's great help, Jian Chen's riding skills quickly improved. However, in the selection of the Praetorian Guard, Chen Jian still faintly felt his special treatment.

The arrow given to him seemed to be sharp, but it did not open the edge, and the horse assigned to him was more than a dwarf, and it was obviously old, in the face of these, Chen Jian just smiled, he had long expected that Dong Quan would not let him pass the test lightly, but these are not problems, Chen Jian still passed the first three levels smoothly and entered the last round.

After the list of the last round of martial arts competitions came out, Chen Jian saw a familiar name, Dong Tianlei of the Hou Ye Mansion.

Dong Tianlei is the head of the guard of the Hou Ye's Mansion, although he has a certain skill, but he can enter the last round of the competition, and the Hou Ye must have made a lot of efforts. And after Dong Tianlei learned that Chen Jian had also entered the final round, an expression of dissatisfaction obviously appeared on his face. Jian Chen ignored this, and left the school field with his hands, Dong Tianlei gritted his teeth with hatred behind him.

The night before the competition, Chen Jian was resting in his room, and suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen and a faint pain. Xu is a little tired from participating in the selection in the past few days, but Chen Jian didn't care. He remembered that Jing Mengya was still in the house, so he came to her room, "Sister has been out for more than ten days, let's go back as soon as possible, don't let the sisters worry." ”

Jing Mengya looked unhappy, "Childe is going to drive me away again." ”

Chen Jian comforted, "You've had enough fun in the past few days, it's time to go back." ”

"It's so boring to go back to a few sisters again. ”

"At least you should go back and report your safety, and then beg Sister Bing to let you out." ”

"You also know Sister Bing's personality, if I go back, where will I have a chance to come out. ”

Looking at Jing Mengya's expression of wanting to cry, Chen Jian was embarrassed.

Seeing Jian Chen's embarrassed expression, Jing Mengya's heart was secretly happy, he knew that Jian Chen was kind in nature, and he was not good at interacting with women, so he had been pestering him willfully.

"Childe, the moonlight is beautiful today, let's not talk about whether we will go back or not, how about going out to enjoy the moon together?"

Chen Jian looked up at the bright moon outside the window, the moonlight was like water, round like pearls. Suddenly, he was alarmed.

"Today is fifteen?"

"Yes, otherwise where would such a good moonlight come from?" Jing Mengya was intoxicated.

"Oops. "Jian Chen yelled badly," Jian Chen had something to do, so he left first. ”

Before the words fell, Jian Chen was gone.

Jing Mengya was inexplicable, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and paced into the courtyard and began to admire the moon quietly.
