Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

In the palace,

The censer fell to the ground,

A few wisps of green smoke came out,

The emperor's chest heaved up and down behind the case, and his eyes were even more fierce. He glanced at Zhao Zilong,

Zhao Zilong knew what he meant and had an anxious expression on his face, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, King Jing was born into a distinguished family. His maternal ancestor was a great general of the auxiliary country, and he was even richer and richer during the vassal period!"

"Now that King Jing has established a strong presence in the vassal territory, the imperial court is making all-out preparations to conquer Baigao. There will be no chaos in the south!"

The emperor was still breathing heavily. Zhao Zilong took a look and continued to persuade:

"Your Majesty, although King Jing made friends with wealthy nobles in the vassal territory, the officials were also forced by his power!"

"But your Majesty, you know that King Jing has a violent personality, and he conquers and extorts violently in the vassal territory. He is not popular among the people!"

The emperor hammered the imperial case angrily and said:

"I shouldn't have called them to the capital before. I let them become ambitious!"

Zhao Zilong bowed and said nothing. Your Majesty did not have a son at that time.

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

"The thieves who were dealing with gold and silver from the salt merchants in Yangzhou were elite members of his family. They betrayed Prince Jing's Mansion as a cover for the thieves. Zhaomeifeng asked the soldiers of Guhou and Xuhou who took action."

"They can fight on foot, but when they encounter cavalry, they'll be in trouble."

Hearing Zhao Zilong’s words,

The emperor's brows relaxed, and after taking a breath, he turned his eyes and nodded:

"Yes! Zilong is right. Now the main goal is to plunder the horse breeding land of Bai Gao Kingdom! Regardless of whether the Jin Kingdom can defeat the Northern Liao Dynasty, there will not be many opportunities like next spring."

"Your Majesty is wise! I suggest that soldiers and crossbows from King Jing's vassal territory and nearby areas be mobilized to support the north."

The emperor nodded and said: "Not only sergeants and crossbows, but also craftsmen related to ordnance have been transferred to the north."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The emperor sat down again, looked at the lantern in front of him and said, "Let the clan members come to the palace to warm themselves up."

Zhao Zilong was about to retire when the emperor said:

"Which family said that, remember it clearly for me, I will use it next year!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Amid the pitter-patter of small snowflakes,

‘Crack crack crack’

The sound of the cane hitting the buttocks was particularly loud outside Xuandemen at night.

After ringing for a while,

Xu Zaijing rubbed his buttocks and with the help of the internal officials, he stood up from the bench and limped to the side.

"hiss."

Liang Han, who was standing with Qiao Jiulang, grinned and took a breath of air, then glanced hatefully at Lu Sanlang, who was standing not far away.

After the imperial doctor had just examined the wound on Lu Sanlang's neck, he suggested that the cane punishment should be carried out after a period of time because he was afraid that the son of the prince might have something wrong with the wound on his neck.

Prince Yong and Prince Jing were not executed because of penetrating wounds on their bodies.

The other sons of Han Guogong, Zhongshan Marquis and other families had already walked to the bench where Xu Zaijing and others were lying just now, and their coats were taken off.

The chief minister on the side held the fly whisk, looked at the Zhang family, Xu family and other sons and said sharply:

"The torture is over! You guys, please go back! If you fight again in the future, Your Majesty will not spare you!"

Xu Zaijing, Zhang Fangling, and Zheng Xiao bowed and held their hands in response, grinning.

The chief minister nodded slightly and said, "Please!"

The entourage from Duke Ling's family saw this scene and hurriedly helped Lu Sanlang over, followed by people from the three royal families behind him.

Just when I was about to say goodbye to the chief minister,

The chief minister held out his fly whisk to block the crowd and said:

"Hey! Wait a minute! His Majesty has ordered that some of you are involved in the outflow of ordnance. We have to wait for the Kaifeng Prefect to finish questioning us. We can't leave now."

Hearing this, Lu Sanlang covered his neck and stared: "Huh?"

Then he turned back and looked at the three royal families behind him.

Prince Najing said:

"The crossbow arrows were brought by Qin Chihan of the Marquis of Dongchang Mansion. Xiao Wang and others don't know the whole story, so please give me a favor."

"This is His Majesty's decree."

The senior official said solemnly.

At this time,

In the light snow, a panting and white-smelling eunuch came to the palace gate.

After walking up to the chief chamberlain official, he said, "Your Majesty said, let some of the clan members come into the palace to warm themselves up, and let the imperial doctor take a closer look at it."

The chief internal officer was stunned and hurriedly responded.

Because it happened in winter and at night, there were few people.

Even if the idle people are shouting, there are not many people in Bianjing who know this lively scene.

It really has to wait until tomorrow for word to spread.

As far as Xu Zaijing is concerned, today's matter is much smaller than Prince Yan's matter.

Not just because it wasn't him who did the most damage;

What's more, Xu Zaijing didn't break the teeth of a royal retainer's legitimate son in the face of the gaze of other princes and nobles, nor did he break the legs of a royal prince and son to form a deadly feud.

In full view of everyone, it was Prince Jing who made the first move

Moreover, before the incident, the one who was most seriously injured was the guard of Prince Jing's Mansion who first put on the lethal finger tiger.

The reason why Xu Zaijing stabbed Prince Jing with his flying knife was also to 'protect others'.

The noble boys in the capital are young and energetic, and fighting when drunk is common, even among clan members.

Of course, there was basically no turmoil with Xu Zaijing the previous time.

After all, the fight is usually over when the guards are fighting each other.

If only Prince Jing hadn’t been so mad as to shoot a powerful crossbow in a restaurant,

The result of the fight among the people was probably that Xu Zaijing and his party walked away in a hurry. Prince Yong and the others fell to the ground and screamed in pain. They would just stay away when seeing Xu Zaijing and his party in the future.

but,

The behavior of Prince Jing has completely changed the nature of this matter. The most important thing now is to find out how this powerful crossbow came out!

Otherwise, when the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty leaves the palace to go to Jinming Pool or other places one day, and is struck by this powerful crossbow, what will happen?

On the way towards my family,

Zhang Fangling said to Xu Zaijing from the side:

"Brother Jing, Zheng Xiao told me before that hanging out with you will definitely not be boring!"

"I didn't believe it before, but now I think what he said is right. I have been in many fights over the years, and I have never seen that thing."

Zhang Fangling shook his head as he spoke.

Xu Zaijing rubbed his butt and said:

"Hiss, it's like I've seen that thing all the time! You thief, he really dares to dunk!"

Zheng Xiao touched his shoulder with lingering fear.

Qiao Jiulang, who was following behind, said: "Next time I encounter him, forget it. I'd rather not encounter him!"

After Qiao Jiulang finished speaking, the group of people nodded and passed by the imperial guards who were maintaining order, and came to their families.

The carriages of various families are parked here side by side.

The carriages of the British Duke's Zhang family and the Xu family were very close to each other.

Next to the carriage, Zhang Fangsong, the Sanlang of the Zhang family, patted Xu Zaijing on the shoulder and said, "No one would have thought that he would have that thing, so don't worry too much!"

Zheng Xiao and Zhang Fangling nodded in agreement and got on the same carriage.

Watching the British carriage go away, Liang Han limped to Xu Zaijing's side and said:

"Brother Jing, thank you for saving me."

"What did you say? Go back quickly!"

Qiao Jiulang, who was beside Liang Han, also bowed and followed.

Xu Zaijing turned his head, looked at Zai Zhang and said, "Brother."

"boarding."

On the way back to Quyuan Street,

Xu Zaijing was sitting on the carriage. He was shaking and grinning as he listened to Zai Zhang:

"Don't worry, mother already knows what happened! My father and brother are in the north. We won't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it either."

"What do they mean when they look at the bleeding elephant trunk and then look at you guys?"

"They're just looking forward to the blood of our family! They're a bunch of little bastards!"

Xu Zaijing endured the pain and said nothing.

If Qingyun hadn't recognized the resemblance between the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion and the gangsters, and had the opportunity to anger them, Xu Zaijing and the others might have swallowed their anger tonight.

If you don't swallow it, then they will be the one who strikes first, and they will be unreasonable.

In the sound of rumbling,

Horse-drawn carriages passed through the streets of Bianjing,

Next to him were six or seven mounted guards from the Hou Mansion.

Back to Quyuan Street,

Xu Zaijing and his brother came to the mother's courtyard.

In addition to Xu Zaijing’s nephew,

The whole family was still asleep. When they saw Xu Zaijing coming in, An Mei said at the side:

"Mom, look, I told you that Xiao Wu won't suffer in a fight!"

Mrs. Sun rolled her eyes at her daughter, looked at Xu Zaijing worriedly and stood up and said:

"Jing'er, are you injured?! What's going on? Why did you hear about the crossbow!?"

"Mom, it's okay. I was hit with ten sticks, and my skin and flesh were injured!"

Holding Sun's hand, Xu Zaijing frowned and slowly sat on the chair and said:

"I don't know where they got the crossbow from, I'm so brave!"

"They are doing this to themselves!"

After hearing Hua Lan's words, everyone in the room nodded.

At that time, when everyone left Qingfeng Tower and went to the palace, Zai Zhang sent someone back to report the news.

"Fortunately, the prince's shot missed."

Xu Zaijing nodded. He was able to dodge crossbow arrows with his back turned and still save people with his feet. It was so shocking. It would be easier to explain if others missed the shot.

"Mom, the baby is fine. You, your brother and sister-in-law, please rest quickly. I'll apply some medicine."

Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "Go ahead. I just asked the female servant in the courtyard to crush several pieces of gold and keep them in reserve."

"Yes, mother."

in the palace

The emperor walked to the queen's chamber,

Looking at the queen sitting beside the bed, the emperor put on a smile and said:

"why are not you sleeping?"

"I heard that Your Majesty lost his temper, so I wanted to wait until Your Majesty comes to calm you down."

The emperor smiled and walked to the bed and lay down and said: "Well, come on!"

The queen curled her lips and smiled: "Then you have to let your hair down and take off your robe!"

"Yes, yes, I was so angry that I fainted."

After rectification,

The emperor lay down again and closed his eyes. The queen pressed the emperor's temples:

"Your Majesty, what makes you so angry?"

After the emperor's eyes moved for a moment, he continued to smile:

"Hey, you're not that little brat from the Xu family who causes trouble for me every day!"

Looking at the queen's confused eyes, the emperor said:

"Today at Qingfeng Tower, he had a conflict with the children of Prince Jing's family. As a result, Prince Jing's family actually took out a crossbow. Not only did it scatter the hair of Prince Tan's youngest son, but he also almost opened a wound on the neck of Sanlang of the Lu family. The wound even penetrated the shoulder of King Yong’s eldest son!”

The queen hesitated and said: "Ah??? How did this powerful crossbow get into the hands of these children!"

The emperor said angrily: "That's why I'm so angry!"

"Your Majesty, just deal with the officials who failed in their duties, why bother to be angry!"

"If it weren't for the children of the Xu family, maybe this matter wouldn't have been exposed!"

The emperor felt comfortable being pressed by the queen: "Yes, that's true. It's been a long time since the queen pressed me."

The queen smiled and said, "How could I, my concubine, be so leisurely in the past?"

The emperor raised his hand and touched the back of the queen's hand.

Half an hour later,

The Grand Chamberlain and the Queen's personal maid retreated outside the room.

Listening to the commotion inside, the female officer bowed to the chief minister and said, "I'm going to prepare a hothouse for bathing."

The chief minister smiled and bowed, and said to himself: "I have to prepare some tonic food tomorrow." ’

Quyuan Street

Yong Yi Hou Mansion

Xu Zaijing, whose hair was still a little wet, lay on the bed.

The pain was okay when he came back, but after taking a shower, he started to feel slightly more severe pain.

Knowing that his beloved disciple had been beaten with a stick, Uncle Yin brought some medicine, and along with the crushed Jin Buhuan, he was about to apply it on Xu Zaijing's buttocks.

Looking at the half-teared trousers, Qingcao's face remained unchanged and he bit his lips, using a medicine bowl in one hand and a jade tablet in the other to apply it on his young master.

Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang, who were at the door, looked over and saw Xu Zaijing under the candlelight, and they shrank back a little shyly.

Xu Zaijing closed his eyes, feeling the coolness of the medicine and sighed: "At the critical moment, I still trust my old girl."

Qingcao pursed her lips and said, "Young Master, it's just a little red. Those who didn't know would have thought you were seriously injured!"

"Why isn't it awesome? There are ten sticks! Apply them well!"

Cover the anti-fouling mattress, and lightly cover it with green grass.

Xu Zaijing closed his eyes and said: "You two come in, my hair is not dry yet!"

After Yun Xiang had a chat at the door, the two of them walked in.

"Qingcao, let Xia's mother turn up the fire tonight!"

"Yes, sir!"

Late Yin time (5 a.m.)

It was still dark on a winter morning at this hour.

The candlelight in the house where Xu Zaijing lived lit up.

A voice came:

"Mother Xia, add two more basins of water! Young Master needs it!"

After getting up for about a quarter of an hour longer than usual,

Xu Zaijing took Qingcao out of the yard and came to the racecourse as if nothing was wrong.

The light snowfall last night has long since stopped, and the racecourse has turned a little whiter.

Xu Zaijing asked Qingyun to place all the arrows in front of him, and did not let Qingyun stand in front of the target.

Then Xu Zaijing stood there and started shooting arrows.

On weekdays, Xu Zaijing usually practiced with one or two barrels of thirty arrows, but this morning he rarely held six barrels of feather arrows like this.

"Dah!"

The arrows were nailed into the target, knocking off a lot of snowflakes that had fallen last night on the target.

After twenty arrows were fired at one target, Xu Zaijing changed the target.

Qingyun, on the other hand, carried the empty arrow pot to the target, pulled the arrows from the target and brought them back.

When the sky got brighter, Xu Zaijing's head was already slightly steamed with white air.

Qingyun ran back with Yujian in his arms and said breathlessly: "Master, why are you going faster and faster?"

Xu Zaijing took the feather arrow from his arms and said, "Have you counted how many barrels you brought back?"

As he spoke, the arrow flew straight towards the bullseye.

Qingyun wiped his sweat and said: "There are always hundreds of tubes!"

Xu Zaijing breathed out: "Okay! That's it for today."

The sky is bright,

Bianjing City became noisy again,

noon,

What happened last night was also spread by word of mouth.

After all, encountering a strong crossbow during a fight is rare in Bianjing.

What’s more, the son of a prince or marquis was injured, which is even more telling.

Pan Louzhong,

first floor,

A Bianjing member who claimed to live near Qingfeng Tower vowed:

"Then the Xu family brother just dodged the crossbow arrow! Why don't you believe it when I say it?"

"When the crossbow was raised, his back was turned to the prince of the palace!"

"I was eating on the first floor! You, you guys!"

The rich man wearing silk and satin said:

"According to what you say, does the Xu family brother have eyes in his back?"

"Then why didn't you see Sanlang from Duke Ling's family hiding?"

"I'm afraid you have never seen how fast a crossbow arrow can be!"

"Yeah! Hahaha!"

Listening to the laughter around him, the man waved his sleeves, sat down and shook his head!

Chai Jin glanced at the attendant who was paying the bill,

He came to the group of people who were talking and said, "Brother, please tell me in detail. I'll treat you to this meal!"
