Chapter 20

The palace martial arts performance finally ended in a tragic way. After Chu Nan passed out, Leng Yun on the stage laughed a few times and fell to the ground. In view of Chu Nan's unconsciousness first, and Leng Yun's two consecutive tragic battles, it was more

Being convincing, His Majesty the Emperor finally designated Leng Yun as the first in martial arts, Chu Nan as the second, and Wang Lin, Dugu Chou and others also received awards each.

On the Chu Mansion's luxurious carriage outside the palace gate, the driver drove the carriage carefully, fearing that the bumps would hit the people in the carriage. In the carriage, Chu Yue almost burst into tears, looking stupidly at the unconscious Chu Nan.

Yang Mei carefully held Chu Nan in her arms and looked at Chu Nan with complicated eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Some distance away from the palace, Chu Nan slowly opened his eyes, held the carriage and sat up from Yang Mei's arms.

Chu Yue looked at the chuckling Chu Nan stupidly, forgetting to cry for a moment, and shouted as if she had seen a ghost: "You...you..."

Chu Nan put her finger in front of her lips, signaling Chu Yue to stop talking, and chuckled: "What, Yue'er is not happy when I wake up?"

Chu Yue didn't care whether she would touch Chu Nan's wound or not, she threw herself into Chu Nan's arms and cried: "I'm scared to death of Yue'er, I'm scared to death of Yue'er. Why are you scaring people? Do you know that I have

How worried are you?"

Chu Nan touched Chu Yue's show, shook his head and said: "If I don't take medicine before the game, don't vomit blood on stage, and don't fall into coma after the game, many people will be so angry that they will jump and curse."

Although Chu Yue had just arrived in the capital, she was obviously not a political idiot. She glanced at Yang Mei secretly, hugged Chu Nan's waist and stopped talking.

Chu Nan sighed and said: "The Chu family has the foundation of the south, the support of my father, the civility of Chu An, and the martial arts of Chu Kuang. It is enough. If there is another martial arts master, let alone the eldest prince, our emperor will not be able to sleep."

.”

Yang Mei looked at Chu Nan who hadn't looked at her since she woke up, smiled bitterly, lowered her head silently, and murmured: "Ninth grade?"

Dugu Canghai looked at his beloved son Dugu Chou standing in the hall and said firmly: "It's not the ninth grade!"

Duguqiu lowered his head in surprise. After thinking about it, he suppressed the questions in his heart and asked to leave.

Dugu Canghai, who had not been seen for more than ten years and was even suspected to have died suddenly, turned around and said to Dugu Qiu, who had already walked to the door: "You are too impulsive this time. My Dugu family has never participated in party disputes.

As for the reward your majesty has, I will accept it for you as my father, so you can go to Liumenmen and be a head catcher." This was to inform Dugu Qiu, not to discuss it with him. After all, I don't care about Dugu Qiu's reaction.

He murmured: "It can't be the ninth grade, otherwise the Chu family will definitely become the second Shen family, and the capital will bleed again."

Pingnan Bo Yang Lie drank a jar of old wine excitedly, and even dropped seven or eight glasses in the process. He laughed and said to his daughter-in-law who was trying to persuade him: "I told you, how could you marry Meier?"

What about a waste? Now that you believe it, when has my vision ever been so bad?!"

Yang Lie's daughter-in-law quickly said yes and went to grab Yang Lie's wine glass. They were afraid that Yang Lie would be hurt by drinking. Yang Jin on the side hesitated and asked: "Is he a ninth-level master? More powerful than the eldest prince?"

Yang Lie's dim old eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered: "What ninth grade? It's just a skill that is improved by drugs. I don't know if there will be any consequences."

Yang Jin was stunned, then thought of something, and murmured: "I can't let him deceive everyone, no, I'm going to expose him. Yes, I'm going to tell the eldest sister."

Behind him, Yang Lie looked at Yang Jin who ran out excitedly, fell down on the table, and fell into a deep sleep, but sighed deeply in his heart.

I don't know how many huge estates in the capital are playing out similar dramas, but no matter what, the fifth young master of the Chu family has completely taken off the hat of a waste. Chu Yuan's roar seems to mean that Chu Nan is not like the legend.

Unpopular, among the younger generation in the capital, a new name is slowly coming into people's sight, but I don't know whether he will become famous like Chu Kuang or will be fleeting like a shooting star.

Chu Nan had finished his performance. When he was carried back to the small courtyard by his family, blood was still flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked horrified. The young lady of the Chu family also frowned. After placing Chu Nan in the main room, she sat on the bed in a daze.

Lost in thought, the servants and servants looked at each other without sighing, showing the deep love between husband and wife only in times of adversity. Now seeing that the fifth young master was injured, the usually dignified and calm young lady also lost her sense of proportion.

The next day, the rewards from the palace came down. Those who had such outstanding performance were rewarded. Even if they were not good enough, they would get gold, silver or weapons. Those who got good rankings were naturally even more powerful. Leng Yun, who got the first place

, he directly became a mid-level general in the city defense camp, and he also had horses and armor given by the emperor, etc., and became famous for a while. Wang Lin and others and the sergeants in Mobei also became stars in the army, and even if they were not good enough, they became the school

The reward given to the second-placed Chu Nan was far behind. Although there was a large amount of wound medicine and gold and silver, he was not promoted to a military rank. He was only made a seventh-grade imperial guard, which was also a sinecure.

On the banks of the Jinshui River in the capital, in Piaoxianlou, one of the leading teahouses, a few people dressed as gentry were talking about the just-concluded court martial arts performance. The atmosphere in Daliang was open, and people could talk about current affairs at will. If they were brave enough, they could even beat the drum to hear their requests.

face saint.

I only heard a man who looked like a wealthy businessman say: "If we talk about this martial arts performance, the eldest young master Chu is not here, and the eldest prince is not participating. I thought it would not be worth seeing, but I didn't expect that there would be so many masters, especially the Wang family."

That kid was really cruel. I heard that he fainted on the spot."

A short and thin man next to him agreed: "Yes, yes, each one is more cruel than the other this year. The young master of Governor Leng's family was stabbed five or six holes in his body, and he will not survive. It is really miserable."

A middle-aged man with a mustache shook his head and said: "If you ask me, the fifth young master of the Chu family is more ruthless. He provoked the eldest prince in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and forced his majesty to break the leg of the eldest prince's counselor.

He also defeated a general who was leading the army in Mobei. Tsk, who is that person? He was a good man who had dozens of barbarian lives under his command. He had really been through a sea of ​​blood."

The wealthy businessman frowned and said: "No, I heard that it was because Chu Shangshu was in trouble that your Majesty punished the counselor. And I heard that Master Chu was seriously injured and is still hanging on to his life with old ginseng. If there is an accident, then

Miss Yang, who is such a fairy, has to become a widow."

When Xian'er heard that Chu Nan was injured, she became restless and restless. Now after hearing this, she not only said angrily: "How can you talk? How can you curse someone to death? You really have no tutor!"

The wealthy businessman was waiting to see the pretty Xian'er. He smiled awkwardly. He knew that Xian'er knew many high officials and heard that there was a prince who was thinking about her. He really couldn't afford to offend her. He apologized: "I...I was just talking nonsense."

The hearsay cannot be taken seriously."

Xian'er simply sat aside and sulked, also wanting to hear more news about Chu Nan. After a brief lull in the atmosphere, she heard someone say: "What do you know? Let me tell you, the young master of the Chu family's power is that after taking medicine,

Those who were lifted up, now that the potion has worn off, will naturally suffer."

The wealthy businessman looked at Xian'er's face and asked deliberately: "No? Since the Chu family can produce a master like General Chu, why can't they produce another one?"

The man said disdainfully: "Tsk, let me tell you, many people saw it when he took the medicine, and this news was released by his brother-in-law himself, how can it be false?"

The group of people were stunned and quickly asked questions, urging the man to elaborate.

The man's vanity was very satisfied and he whetted everyone's appetite and said: "I heard that the medicine came from overseas. Ordinary people only take one pill at a time. The young master of the Chu family took a handful in one go just to be angry. This is a bad thing.

Although I defeated General Mu from Mobei, do you know how much blood I vomited afterward?"

Everyone was even more amazed and nodded at the man's test.

The man was even more satisfied and continued to say half-truthfully: "Hey, once I take the medicine, it doesn't matter. I heard that Master Chu will basically be disabled. Whether he can be saved or not is another matter. You haven't seen him recently.

There were so many carriages in the Chu Mansion, all rushing to see him for the last time. Oh, poor man. Although he had a bad reputation in the capital, he had never done anything harmful to the world. He was gone like this. Poor man.

Miss Yang......"

Xian'er couldn't listen anymore, threw the rag in front of the man, and said loudly: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Ignoring the stunned tea guests, Xian'er ran downstairs wiping her tears and made up her mind to go to Chu's house to visit Chu Nan. She said she wanted to see him one last time. As for the girl's family's face, everything...

Go to hell!
