"Yes, yes, aunt." Zheng Sheng felt a little aggrieved. Why did that person come in while he was on duty? It would really cause trouble for him. These days, in order to increase his favorability in front of the Queen Mother, he has been very attentive. It's better now, just hit him back to his original shape with a stick.
He was about to go out when a man in guard uniform walked in without warning, shouting: "No need to check, Queen Mother, I'm sure that person is General Fu Tingye."
With one sentence, Zheng Sheng was slapped in the face. Zheng Sheng immediately glared at him with a sinister look: "Chen Yuan, who are you? How dare you enter the Queen Mother's palace on your own initiative?"
Chen Yuan looked at him in surprise: "I didn't make my own decision. I came in after revealing the imperial list. The imperial list said that the person who revealed the list can visit the Queen Mother anytime and anywhere. Queen Mother, am I right?"
Zheng Sheng was slightly startled, and then looked at the Queen Mother. Zheng Shuwen frowned, looking impatient, but nodded: "That's what she said."
"..." Zheng Sheng was choked and couldn't speak, but he glared at Chen Yuan very contemptuously: "You alone want to lead ten people to suppress bandits? You are talking nonsense, aunt, I think this person is belittling himself and being arrogant. He is arrogant and must not be used. It is a waste of money and troops."
These words were obviously filled with jealousy.
Zheng Shuwen did not want to enhance Zheng Sheng's prestige. Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she glanced at him, and Zheng Sheng immediately did not dare to speak.
Zheng Shuwen then looked at Chen Yuan: "The matter of the imperial list has not yet been decided, because before you, Zheng Sheng has already recommended himself, and I need to consider who to use between the two of you. However, Ai Jia is touched by your first words when you came in. If you’re interested, tell me.”
The Queen Mother's decision did not surprise Chen Yuan. He had long expected that he would not get an opportunity to make a contribution so easily.
Then he calmed down and looked at the Queen Mother calmly: "When I was on duty today, I saw this person walking around the imperial study. Later, I saw him above the palace gate with extraordinary skills. According to the confessions of several guards, I have eight I am very sure, that person is the current general Fu Tingye."
Six of the points came from intuition. When they passed each other at the door of the Imperial Study Room, he felt that that person was very different.
Even if he is wearing an ordinary guard uniform, it is difficult to conceal the intimidating aura around him.
"Eight points?" The Queen Mother chuckled, and her eyes turned cold for a moment when she looked at Chen Yuan.
Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Zi Yuan couldn't help but sweat for Chen Yuan. This was a sign that the Queen Mother would be angry.
However, what Zi Wan never expected was that the Queen Mother's situation turned around in the next second.
Because in the next second, Chen Yuan said: "There are still two points left. Please allow me to go to Si Bing's wife's house to test the general. I will know if it is him."
"Oh?" Zheng Shuwen became interested again: "There are not many people in Qi who have the courage to test the general. Are you talking nonsense?"
Chen Yuan patted his flat chest: "I do what I say. I just ask the Queen Mother to give Yuan a chance."
"Okay, I promise you, you can go with ten people." Zheng Shuwen agreed decisively.
Zheng Sheng on the side was so angry that Chen Yuan appeared out of nowhere. He was clearly humiliating him in front of the Queen Mother. He must find an opportunity to deal with him! Let him know that this imperial guard's surname is Zheng, not Chen.
…
Hua Qingxue accompanied Fu Tingye to the door, and saw that the palace's carriage had been prepared. She was a little confused for a moment: "General, where are we going? Did you say you have no time? Are you trying to catch some important banquet? "
Before and after the contact, she couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
Since Fu Tingye came out, his expression was serious and his eyes were calm, not at all as relaxed as when he was with her.
"We're not leaving, we're just waiting for someone."
Waiting for someone... Hua Qingxue became even more confused. Why did someone waiting for someone put two carriages and guards around them at the ready? It was clearly like they were setting off.
But the next moment, after seeing the imperial guards rushing towards them from a distance, Hua Qingxue had some vague ideas in her heart.
"Hey, General, are you ready to go out?" Chen Yuan was the first to rush forward on horseback. With a false smile, he came up to greet Fu Tingye: "I've seen the General, I've seen... Mrs. Si Bing."
This lady is so plainly dressed, but... judging from her status, she must be the wife of a military commander.
Hua Qingxue nodded: "I've met the general." Although she didn't know the other person's rank, there was no harm in complimenting him modestly.
Compared to Hua Qingxue's politeness, Fu Tingye just responded lightly.
Chen Yuan immediately burst into laughter: "Thank you, madam. I can't talk about the general. Chen Yuan, I'm just an errand guard beside the Queen Mother."
A bodyguard
Hua Qingxue couldn't believe it, but at the moment, she didn't say much. She was not good at this kind of situation, and it was easy for her to say too much and make mistakes.
"I wonder what the Queen Mother sent you here for?" Fu Tingye changed his calm look for a moment: "I was making an appointment with Mrs. Si Bing to enjoy the willows by the river. Fortunately, Guard Chen came in time, otherwise It just came up empty.”
Chen Yuan laughed, then stepped forward, and stood in front of Fu Tingye very carefreely. Then he frowned and said, "Don't say it, it's really urgent. There was an assassin in the palace just now, and the Queen Mother has already started investigating. However, I think that there are more spies in the enemy country recently, and the general and the commander's wife need to be vigilant at all times, so I came here to remind you."
There is an assassin in the palace...
Hua Qingxue understood everything in her heart in an instant.
It turns out that the general came out of the palace, but why did he go to visit the palace
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for me. If you have nothing else to do, please forgive me for keeping you company." Fu Tingye greeted the guest politely and distantly.
However, Chen Yuan pretended not to understand and came forward shamelessly: "But General, please forgive me for talking too much. Does the General know who will enter the palace to accompany the assassin? It will disturb us who are the guards."
Fu Tingye looked at him coldly and snorted: "Do you suspect it's me?"
"Don't dare!" Chen Yuan laughed, but it gave people the illusion of being a thief: "How dare I doubt the general."
Although he said this, his subordinates did not hesitate and hit Fu Tingye's injured shoulder with a fist.
The movements were so fast that people were stunned. Hua Qingxue almost instantly felt like she couldn't hold back any longer, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her hands hidden in her sleeves.
Fu Tingye did not move, and did not even raise his eyebrows. He stared at Chen Yuan in surprise and contempt: "Servant Chen is so interesting. Do you want to compete with me?"
Chen Yuan punched his fist, catching him off guard. He really didn't have the confidence to discuss the matter.
Everyone knows that the general is invincible and is a god of death on the battlefield. If anyone has nothing to do and seeks advice from the general, wouldn't he think that his life is too long
"Hahaha, general, don't care about it. Don't care about it. You are just joking with the general. There is no need to discuss it. If you have the opportunity in the future, I would like to ask the general for advice."
He said with a sly smile, not daring to hesitate, and quickly moved out of the way, fearing that Fu Tingye would respond in kind and catch him off guard.
However, Fu Tingye really has no such plan.
Even the punch just now, he could actually avoid, but... he deliberately let this kid test him, otherwise, how could he clear himself of suspicion.
Chen Yuan immediately stopped entangled, said goodbye, and led his troops back to the palace.
"General, shall we go back?" Hua Qingxue stepped forward and asked softly.
Until this moment, Fu Tingye's tense nerves calmed down slightly and he looked at Hua Qingxue: "No! Let's do the whole show and let's set off."
"Ah?" Hua Qingxue didn't quite understand, but she didn't disobey him. The two of them got on the carriage and drove slowly towards the moat.
However, just after their carriage left, Chen Yuan, who had returned and hid at the corner of the street, had a panoramic view of it all.
Chen Yuan returned to the palace and reported truthfully: "I guess Yuan was mistaken. The general may not be the assassin."
Zheng Shuwen listened to his report calmly. Before she could speak, Zheng Sheng on the side laughed sarcastically: "Why, that's not what you said when you took the order before. Are you going to give in now? I knew you." He is unreliable! Aunt, this person is completely unreliable. He deliberately went to test Fu Tingye this time. He really disgraced our Imperial Guards. He must be punished, and severely punished."
Zheng Shuwen was very harsh when she heard his words.
Although she doted on her nephew, there was a limit to her doting. She did not allow him to be arrogant and arrogant.
"Did I tell you to speak?" Zheng Shuwen just scolded lightly, but Zheng Sheng instantly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, aunt, I... I was in a hurry."
"go out!"
"Yes, yes, aunt, nephew...resign." Zheng Sheng felt extremely aggrieved, but had no choice. The Queen Mother seemed to be angry, and he could not touch this bad luck.
After Zheng Sheng left, the Queen Mother sorted out her anxious mood and looked at Chen Yuan again: "How did you test him? Tell me."
"Back to the Queen Mother, Yuan once shot an arrow at the palace gate and hit the assassin, and the place that hit him happened to be on the left shoulder. Just now at the gate of Si Bing's wife's house, while chatting with the general, Yuan unexpectedly punched him on the left shoulder. But I found that the general didn't move at all and didn't care, and the place where the force was placed on the far hand was as solid as a city wall, and it didn't look like he was injured."
"So that's it." The Queen Mother nodded, and then said: "Reward."
It was Hua Qingxue's first time coming to this side of the moat, and she never expected that the scenery would be very good.
But at this moment, she was not even thinking about the scenery. As soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out, hurried to Fu Tingye's carriage, and ran in to check on his injuries.
After taking off half of the clothes, the tight and strong muscles are revealed in front of the eyes. The blood stains have been completely soaked in the gauze, which is very shocking.
"Go back! Let's go back right away!" Hua Qingxue became angry and shouted an order.
The carriage started moving slowly, but Fu Tingye laughed at her: "Why are you doing this? I finally came with you to see the scenery."
Hua Qingxue was angry and anxious: "You are like this, why are you looking at the scenery? Hurry back and let Master Lu take care of it."
When Li Jingnan was injured in Renqiu before, she had helped to treat the wound, and plant ash and other things were very effective in stopping the bleeding. But now that Lu Zhengqing is here, Hua Qingxue is still willing to leave such problems to professionals.
Fu Tingye smiled, not being stubborn and obeying her arrangement.
