The training of the Forbidden Dragon Guards was cruel, and so were the punishments. He Sheng received ten lashes, and this was not a simple whipping. The whips were specially made with barbs on them. When the whip came down, the skin and flesh were peeled off, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow.

Although the ten lashes were a traumatic injury, the pain was incomparable to the ten boards on Zhan Feiyu's palm.

As for the other people, Yin Wuyan removed them. Even if they were punished, they would not be able to return to Zhan Feiyu. The twelve new Forbidden Dragon Guards took their place and guarded in the dark.

After three or two steps, he saw Gu Qingzhou not far away. He paused and said, "I'm going to apply some medicine to He Sheng, otherwise the fat girl will definitely find out."

He Sheng was punished, and even though he was given medicine, he only banned Longwei's most common hemostatic medicine. The medicine was a bit strong, but the medicine in Chongguang's hand was a treasure. Not only was it effective in stopping bleeding, but it was also tasteless.

"Come in and talk." Gu Qingzhou was not afraid of the cold, but he was not willing to be outside in the cold wind on a cold day.

When Yin Wuyan came in, Gu Qingzhou motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "You also know Xiaoyu's temperament. She has a good idea. He Sheng and the others are followers and can only follow orders."

Yin Wuyan didn't speak, and Gu Qingzhou didn't care. He wanted to say something else, "Has the arrangements for the Marquis' Mansion in Zhenbian been made?"

Zhu Xiao surrendered to the barbarians and risked his life to survive. Gu Qingzhou was surprised when he saw the secret book handed over by Zhu Xiao.

For a hero like Zhu Xiao, he has been operating in Longyou Road for several years and still cannot control the military power. This is enough to show that the Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Road. It is understandable that the Holy Emperor was worried that General Yang would be the master of the army.

"Zhu Xiao only took away Zhu Zhengrong, the eldest son, and two hundred elite members of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion." When it came to business, Yin Wuyan did not hold anything back, and exchanged opinions with Gu Qingzhou, "The Zhenbian Marquis and other people in the Hou Mansion are currently

He has been secretly escorted back to Beijing."

These people in the Zhenbian Houfu will be imprisoned in the capital in the future. Speaking of it, they can also be regarded as hostages. If Zhu Xiao dares to really betray the Daqing Dynasty, these people in the Zhenbianhoufu will become ghosts under the sword.

Of course, since the Holy Lord has imprisoned the Zhenbian Hou and others, it also means that they have escaped death. Otherwise, when the Yang family comes back, Old General Yang will be avenged. Once the liquidation is carried out, the Zhenbian Hou Mansion will definitely be executed.

end.

Zhu Xiao's move can be regarded as a glimmer of hope for the Zhenbianhou Mansion.

After Zhu Xiao defected to the barbarians, the military power of the Zhenbian Hou Mansion was handed over to the Holy Lord, and Yang Shou became the protector of the Zhang family and was willing to hand over the military power. After this competition, the Holy Lord became the biggest winner.

Will firmly control the military power of Longyou Road.

When it comes to military power, not only does the Holy One worry about Gu Qingzhou, but Gu Qingzhou will also take the initiative to avoid suspicion. The Holy One will send another confidant general to take over the military power. However, Yin Wuyan is currently handling these matters. Naturally, he can do it without anyone noticing.

Deployment.

Especially with the cooperation of the Yang family, this plan is absolutely seamless. Even if the Holy Sage secretly sends the Dark Dragon Guard, Yin Wuyan can still conceal it.

Even though it was late at night and he had been driving hard for the past few days, Gu Qingzhou was already used to such busyness and fatigue.

After listening to Yin Wuyan's words, Gu Qingzhou thought for a moment and then said again: "Are you sure you can ask the Yang family to help cover it up?"

Gu Qingzhou can imagine what will happen to Yin Wuyan once the Holy One notices his manipulation of military power. Moreover, even if there is no substantial evidence, as long as the Holy One's suspicion is aroused, Yin Wuyan, the commander of the Forbidden Dragon Guard, will be in trouble.

And knowing too many secrets of the Holy Sage, Yin Wuyan will definitely die.

A sneer appeared on the handsome and arrogant face, and Yin Wuyan looked arrogant and ruthless, "When the Yang family was convicted, not only the emperor, but also the princes in the palace and their maternal family all wanted a share of the pie. Unfortunately, all of them

After returning home in defeat, it’s okay for the Yang family to revive now, but once the emperor appoints a prince, settling accounts with the queen is inevitable."

It's not that Yin Wuyan looked down on the adult princes in the palace, but the eldest princes were indeed narrow-minded. Back then, they showed favor to the Yang family and wanted to seize military power, but unfortunately they failed. They will definitely keep this grudge in their hearts.

Furthermore, once a prince is established, the ambition to gain military power will be revived again, and the stumbling block of the Yang family will naturally be removed. New hatreds will be superimposed on old hatreds, and the fate of the Yang family can be imagined.

However, the Crown Prince does not have the magnanimity of an emperor, and will not be open-minded, but will only eliminate the roots. Therefore, if the Yang family wants to protect themselves, they must take precautions. Only then did Yin Wuyan dare to be so sure that the Yang family would help.

If Zhan Feiyu is smart, but still a bit childish and still retains his innocent heart, in Gu Qingzhou's view, people like Yin Wuyan are the most terrifying and fearful people, wise but cold-blooded, and regard human life as such.

He is careless and holds great power. Once such a person becomes an enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

After the conversation was over, Yin Wuyan stood up and left.

But after walking to the door, he opened it, and the howling cold wind blew in. Yin Wuyan, who was standing at the door with his back to the room, said in a cold voice, "Xiaoyu is still young. If she has any inconsiderations, please take care of her."

Please bear with me, I don’t want what happened today to happen again.”

Even though Gu Qingzhou was extremely well-educated, he was laughed out of anger at this moment. As a teacher, why couldn't he punish his disciples?

It's a pity that Yin Wuyan warned rather than discussed, and left without waiting for Gu Qingzhou's answer. However, the weight of his words is self-evident. If it happens again, even if Yin Wuyan cannot openly attack Gu Qingzhou, as a forbidden dragon

Commander Wei, if Yin Wuyan wants revenge, he will definitely find more than ten ways.

…

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the warm spring breeze sends Tusu away. Thousands of households always replace old talismans with new peaches.

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Zhan Feiyu rubbed against the bed again and again. Even though he was reluctant to let go, he finally climbed up resignedly and said, "Nuan, I'm up."

It was half an hour later than the usual wake-up time, but it was only just dawn.

He Nuan put the hot water aside, then picked up the clothes on the edge of the kang and walked over. His movements were no different from the past. But if Zhan Feiyu looked carefully, he could find that He Nuan's movements were slightly stiff, even though

Even though the medicine was applied, any movement of the hands would still cause the whiplash on the back.

There is no distinction between men and women in the Forbidden Dragon Guard. After He Sheng received ten lashes, He Nuan waited for Zhan Feiyu to fall asleep and went to receive the punishment. The 10 lashes left the skin and flesh on his back.

Fortunately, Chongguang's wound medicine was really effective. Even though the wound hurt, it stopped bleeding. The key was that there was no smell of medicine. As long as He Nuan paid attention, Zhan Feiyu wouldn't notice that she was injured.

study.

The charcoal pot has been lit, so even in the early morning when the dripping water turns to ice, the study will not feel cold.

"Can't you let the little girl sleep in on the first day of the new year?" Qiu Zongxi is older and has shorter sleep time. In addition, he always came to the study at this time to give guidance on Zhan Feiyu's homework, so he will do the same today.

in this way.

But when he saw Gu Qingzhou, who was checking Zhan Feiyu's homework in the study first, Qiu Zongxi suddenly felt sour. Why was such a smart and sensible girl not his disciple?

"Instead of sleeping for half an hour longer, it is better to take the imperial examination as soon as possible. When you get through it, the sea will be broad enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly." Compared with Qiu Zongxi's nose, not his eyes, Gu Qingzhou looked magnanimous and calm.

Qiu Zongxi snorted dissatisfiedly. Before he could refute, there were footsteps outside the study. He Nuan opened the door and Zhan Feiyu, wrapped in a bear shape, walked in.

In the study room, the conversation between master and apprentice rang out. Qiu Zongxi also wanted to know Gu Qingzhou's ability to teach his disciples, so he sat aside and watched.

"There is a saying in "Book of Jin": He is handsome and majestic, he is knowledgeable and good at military skills, he is serious and perseverant, he is magnanimous, and he does not care about small things." After Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Zhan Feiyu and asked: "

Does Wu Hou Wang Meng know?"

With his photographic memory, Zhan Feiyu can be regarded as a well-read person, "Wang Meng's calligraphy and scenery..."

"Now that I know, do you think Wang Meng is loyal to the former Qin or the Eastern Jin?" After Gu Qingzhou asked, he also left time for Zhan Feiyu to think, turned over her previous homework, and then picked up the pen and began to review.

Zhan Feiyu did not immediately think about Gu Qingzhou's question, but wondered why the teacher suddenly asked Wang Meng. Could it be that the teacher was secretly talking about Zhu Xiao's defection to the barbarians?

Two quarters of an hour later, Gu Qingzhou put down his pen, which also meant that Zhan Feiyu's thinking time was over.

"Lu Polou once said that Wang Meng's strategies are unparalleled." Zhan Feiyu stood up and replied, his clear little voice echoing in the study room, "There are Bo Le in the world, and then there are horses with a thousand li. Wang Meng met Lu Polou in Guanzhong, and then passed him."

In the study here, Gu Qingzhou used historical figures to guide Zhan Feiyu. On the other side, Yin Wuyan was not idle and went to the courtyard where General Yang lived temporarily.

"Old General Yang, there's no need to be like this. Since it's a matter of the Yang family, it's okay for Yang Xu to stay and listen." If it weren't for the fact that Yin Wuyan's eyes were still indifferent, at first glance, one would have thought that he valued Yang Xu, a junior, very much.

Old General Yang was slightly surprised, then laughed loudly, "In that case, Xiaoxu, just stay."

Yang Xu, who had just stood up to leave, sat back on the chair after hearing this. Perhaps Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan were too close to each other, and as a friend, Yang Xu couldn't help but feel jealous of the harmonious atmosphere that made it impossible for outsiders to get in.

"The news of Qiu Jinyu's death must have spread. Although this matter will harm Xiaoyu's reputation, in the critical period of the Yang family's revival, if someone with an intention adds fuel to the flames, the crime of Qiu Jinyu's death will definitely fall on Yang Xu."

Yin Wuyan's words were not scaremongering, nor was he trying to shirk responsibility from Zhan Feiyu.

Gu Qingzhou is a great scholar of the current dynasty, and Zhan Feiyu no matter what her background is, but now she is the only disciple of Gu Qingzhou, so slandering Zhan Feiyu is tantamount to offending Bachelor Gu, and most people will never try it easily.

Furthermore, Zhan Feiyu is a little girl after all. Even if she has a talent for reading, in the eyes of the world, when Zhan Feiyu is old enough, she will eventually marry like an ordinary housewife, and will raise her husband and raise children in the future. Therefore, Zhan Feiyu's reputation is

Good or bad, it doesn't matter to these big families. On the contrary, if they listen to it and believe it, they will offend Academician Gu, causing a lot of harm and no benefit.

However, it is different to pin the crime of Qiu Jinyu's murder on Yang Xu. The Yang family has made many enemies. Once the Yang family rises, it will be the families of Longyoudao who will be settled by Qiu Hou, especially since they previously ambush and assassinate Yang Xu at Aozikou.

, this is a deadly feud.

So if I had known that I was bound to die, I might as well have dragged Yang Xu into the water, ruined Yang Xu's reputation, and made him a murderer. Even if they died, they would have someone to back them up.

"So even if I can control the situation, bad news about Yang Xu will still spread." Old General Yang understood the deep meaning of Yin Wuyan's words.

The Yang family has absolute control over Longyou Road. The enemies secretly want to destroy Yang Xu. It depends on whether General Yang will agree!

But Yang Xu's reputation was preserved, and Zhan Feiyu's reputation was in jeopardy. Yin Wuyan would not let dirty water be poured on Zhan Feiyu's head, so even if General Yang intervened, Yin Wuyan would still release the news that the murderer of Qiu Jinyu was

Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu will be plucked out of this matter.

There is a difference between closeness and distance. Old General Yang can understand that Yin Wuyan would do this, and Yang Shoucheng and Yang Xu on the side can also understand. In the final analysis, Zhan Feiyu will choose Qiu Jinyu to die, and that is to protect Yang Xu.

"Instead of choosing one of the two, it is better to let Qiu Jinyu die a worthy death." Yin Wuyan did not show off, and explained his purpose straightforwardly, "The barbarians will besiege Xiangwu County, and the person who takes the responsibility is Qiu Jinyu."

Qiu Jinyu's identity as a barbarian spy was exposed. Even if the third family member of the Qiu family did not dare to repay the favor, they relied on Yang Xu. They even had to thank Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu for their good and clever killing.

, otherwise the entire third house would be implicated by the barbarian spies and executed.

Old General Yang frowned, his expression complicated and difficult to distinguish. After a while, he spoke: "You want to pluck Zhu Xiao out of this matter?"

The Yang family disdains using dirty means to retaliate against the Zhenbian Hou Mansion and will only take revenge openly and honestly. Zhu Xiao has liaison with the barbarians. This is a capital crime. Old General Yang can use this matter to liquidate the entire Zhenbian Hou Mansion.

Catch those who deserve to be arrested, kill those who deserve to be killed, avenge those who have been wronged, and avenge those who deserve revenge.

Yin Wuyan didn't speak. As for Yang Xu's shocked and somewhat angry eyes, Yin Wuyan didn't bother to look at him. If he wasn't too incompetent, how could he have caused Xiaoyu to be injured?

"What if in the future Zhu Xiao and the old ministries of Zhenbianhou Mansion should cooperate with each other?" Yang Shoucheng asked the most critical question.

Zhu Xiao has already gone to the barbarians. If he does not turn over the men he left in Longyou Road, who can guarantee that they will not cooperate with Zhu Xiao in the future to deal with the Daqing Dynasty. The Yang family is guarding Longyou Road, so this hidden danger will eventually harm the Daqing Dynasty.

It's still the Yang family.
