At this time, not only Zhan Zhao and others, but Zhao Zhen was also looking at Pei Yanshu.

In the eyes of the ministers, it is reasonable for the Emperor to pay attention to Pei Yanshu, and he feels that the opportunity for this censor, who has always been low-key, has come to prosper.

But in fact, Zhao Zhen was thinking about something else in his heart...

He murdered the first rank of the dynasty, disrupted the order of the martial arts test, and even suspected of assassinating the king and killing the emperor.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but wonder, if Pei Yanshu was the mastermind behind the scenes, what was his purpose?

In order to replace the position of Taiwei, let his son enter the top ten martial arts examinations?

This is too far-fetched.

He is not the only one who considers the position of Taiwei. It is not that if he kills Cao Kui, he must be his, so he is not afraid of making wedding dresses for others?

As for the top ten martial arts exams, the top three martial arts exams this year are far above other candidates. It is possible to beat one upset, but the possibility of winning three upsets to win the top martial arts champion is too low.

As a shrewd emperor, Zhao Zhen always felt that although all doubts point to Pei Yanshu who was suddenly paid attention to, there seemed to be too many things that couldn't be explained.

Not only Zhao Zhen had doubts, but Zhan Zhao and others also had doubts.

First of all, in terms of kung fu, Pei Yanshu's internal strength is very average, and he is definitely not the master who controls the tangible internal strength behind his back.

Secondly, Wang Xu is a "ghost" that is too obvious!

His identity as the killer of Xingyue Tower has been exposed, so Pei Jun is very suspicious of cheating... Isn't this equivalent to exposing himself easily?

Today, Pei Yanshu has no suspicion on his body. If he is behind the scenes, it means that he is skillful and hides himself deeply. Why does such a smart person suddenly use such a foolish move to completely expose himself?

With full of speculation, everyone continued to watch the competition.

As expected, the competition between Wang Lin and Pei Jun was completely one-sided.

Bai Yutang had told Wang Lin before to try Pei Jun's kung fu to see how much he weighed. However, Wang Lin didn't use it much, and Pei Jun could no longer resist it.

Everyone subconsciously went to see the Censor Central Commander who was watching the battle.

Lord Pei was watching the game while drinking tea, and he didn't care much about it, and he was quite relaxed.

Several adults sitting with him asked him if Pei Jun was stage frightened or did not perform well.

Pei Yanshu waved his hand and said that Pei Jun had average martial arts skills, and he was lucky enough to enter the top twenty, and it was impossible for him to win against Wang Lin.

Zhao Pu looked at He Yihang.

He Yihang also felt that Pei Yanshu didn't seem to have any conspiracy and had a calm mind.

The audience members had not finished a cup of tea, and the game was over. Wang Lin quickly defeated Pei Jun.

The examiner announced the end of the competition, and the top ten people in the palace examination were selected. All the ministers applauded and congratulated the candidates who performed well.

Finally, the candidates were in two rows, with the top ten standing on the left and the back ten standing on the right. Twenty candidates went on the ring together and saluted Zhao Zhen.

Zhan Zhao and others opened their eyes wide, and Zhao Zhen sat upright, staring at them without blinking.

Just as the candidates bowed together, the little fourth son suddenly said, "Here is here!"

Zhan Zhao and others raised their eyes and almost at the same time, they saw that Wang Xu, who was standing behind Shen Mao, suddenly "breaked".

Shen Mao lowered his head and saw white salt falling on his feet. He blinked and turned around...

With a "slam" sound, Wang Xu behind him turned into salt and collapsed all over the ground.

Shen Mao took a breath - no? Is it over? It's still over!

There was also a commotion in the stands.

The salt was spread all the way to Wang Lin's feet in the front.

Wang Lin suddenly felt a gust of wind on his head, and he raised his head suddenly and shouted, "Dangerous!"

After a while, Nangong Qin, who was behind him, jumped out and flew out in the direction of Zhao Zhen above the stands.

Before the ministers could recall the shock just now, Nangong Qin was already rushing towards Zhao Zhen with murderous aura. Is he going to assassinate him? No... Isn't he Nangong Ji's nephew?!

At the same time, a chill suddenly came around. In an instant, the ground was covered with frost, and people exhaled white air from their mouths and noses.

The ministers trembled with cold and exclaimed another burst of exclamation, because a frozen transparent figure suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.

It turned out that Nangong Qin was chasing this invisible figure just now. Although he was moving very quickly, he was still a little distance from the figure, and the figure had already arrived in front of Zhao Zhen.

assassin?!

It was about to succeed in stabbing, but strangely, all the experts, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, and Zhao Pu, were not moved. Even Nangong Ji, who was standing next to Zhao Zhen, did not take action, just stared at him coldly.

Amid the screams of the ministers, the ice man raised his hand, and an icicle formed in his hand, stabbed into Zhao Zhen's chest.

Several ministers fainted in the stands, but strangely... Zhao Zhen did not move at all and did not seem to hurt.

Just as everyone was confused, Zhao Zhen suddenly "collapsed".

There was no Emperor of Song on the seat of the viewing platform, but a large pile of scattered salt.

Nangong Ji smiled slightly and reached out to catch Nangong Qin who could not stop because of the excessive force.

"Hahaha……"

At this time, a familiar laugh came from the ring.

Everyone looked in the voice and saw that Zhao Zhen had appeared on the ring and stood among the many martial artists.

When Zhao Zhen looked up, the ice man assassin appeared in front of him again, but this time the palm it waved did not touch Zhao Zhen. Next to Zhao Zhen, another frozen human form appeared. Unlike the assassin Iceman, the ice man was blue and wearing a cloak.

Zhao Zhen reached out his hand as if nothing had happened, took out a roll of black bamboo slips from the sleeve of the dragon robe, and smiled proudly, "Isn't it that difficult to have peerless martial arts?"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen raised his hand, and the blue ice man chased the assassin who wanted to escape and flew out.

The Assassin Iceman knocked over several guards and jumped over, rushed to the highest point of the stand, ready to jump out. But outside the stand, a huge blue Iceman suddenly rose from the ground and raised his hand and the Assassin Iceman was slapped back to the stand by a palm and fell to pieces.

A series of sudden changes made people stunned the martial artists on the ring and the civil and military officials in the court, and even the people present were stunned.

At this time, someone took the lead and shouted, "The Emperor's martial arts are extraordinary!"

Then, the ministers shouted, "My emperor's magical power is invincible in the world..."

Hearing this, Zhao Pu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, "These bunch of flatteries can really say anything."

Zhao Zhen stood in the middle of the ring and waved his hand to the ministers, "Oh, I'm just trying to make you laugh, hahaha..."

The martial artists on the ring were also stunned - it turns out that the emperor's martial arts skills are so good?

Wang Lin and Shen Mao looked at each other - it's not right! The emperor obviously has no internal strength...

In the stands, the Eighth Prince, who was scared to the point of fainting just now, had recovered. He asked Li Yue, who was speechless beside him, "When did the emperor learn kung fu?"

Li Yue was amused and crying, "If he really had the skills, he would have gone to choose the leader of the martial arts world. I just saw that the Heavenly Master Yin Hou had entered the palace, so I guess he had changed some tricks."

The Eight Kings were dissatisfied, "I didn't say anything in advance, I'll scare you to death!"

The two princes looked down while complaining. At this time, Zhao Zhen was showing off his praise on the stage and accepting the worship of the ministers.

Gongsun asked Zhao Pu, "Isn't it okay? What should we do if we really think that he has great martial arts in the future?"

Zhao Pu also sighed - I have never seen such an emperor who can toss and make trouble.

Lin Yehuo asked Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang beside him, "Is this wave of cooperation seamless? Is this success?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "It's almost done, the bait has been put! I'm just waiting to see if the fish will take the bait."

Bai Yutang put the smaller shark into Zhan Zhao's hands.

Zhan Zhao pinched the shoulders and legs of the little mermaid. The mermaid twisted it twice, which looked a bit like the little four son who was itchy.

Before he knew it, the chill in the air also faded away, and the last round of martial arts examinations were all over. Because Wang Xu disappeared, Pei Jun, the eleventh-ranked one, took the place and participated in the last round of palace examinations.

Zhao Zhen and his ministers said goodbye, and took Nangong back to the palace in a good mood. The ministers dispersed and discussed while walking, all seemed to be unfulfilled.

Many people congratulated Pei Yan.

Zhan Zhao and others observed Pei Yanshu's expression...

Logically speaking, if all this was arranged by Pei Yanshu, then he should be calm and composed. Or if everything has nothing to do with him, it would be like a cake falling from the sky and he should be very happy.

But Pei Yanshu seemed a little panicked at this time. Although he tried hard to control his expression, his steps were in a hurry. He tripped when he got off the stands, and his appearance could almost be described as "lost and despair".

Zhao Pu arranged a few shadow guards to follow him secretly to see what was going on with him.

Zhan Zhao and others left the yard and did not return to Kaifeng, but went to the Imperial Garden.

In the garden, the demon king, Tianzun and Yin Hou were sitting and drinking tea. By the stone table, Ge Qing was tying someone.

Everyone walked into the yard and saw that the one who was arrested was Wang Xu.

The ones who caught him should be Tianzun and Yin Hou, so he naturally couldn't escape.

Wang Xu was also in a state of dismay at this time, and Zhao Pu asked Ouyang and Zou Liang to take the people down for interrogation.

Zhao Zhen thoughtfully ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare midnight snacks for everyone.

Sit down and eat while chatting.

The demon king sat next to Zhan Zhao, lowered his head, looked at the mermaid in Zhan Zhao's hand, and smiled slightly, "It's so cute. Who really raised it like who?"

The little fourth son was a little envious, "Can Yaoyao see the shark?"
