Chapter 153 Attacking the Heart
Ever since Yi Wen and the others met Yan Yikong on their way back, all their shortcomings were exposed.
Before the time set by Jun Lai Pavilion, they must be as proficient in the moves as possible. They believe that "Overlord Spear" and "Cloud Scroll Knife" are enough to deal with most opponents.
For Fang Zhou, "Weeping Moon Sword Technique" is his trump card, and he will not use it unless absolutely necessary. Although Yi Wen is already relatively proficient in "Overlord Spear", he does not have a move that can be used as a trump card, and he only has a slight advantage.
Maybe it's his strength.
During these three days, Yi Wen and Fang Zhou continued to hone their marksmanship and sword skills, and they were also looking forward to the entrance exam. After walking such a long way just to enter Junlai Pavilion, the two of them would naturally be able to
Work extra hard for the admissions exam.
Of course, there is another thing that the two of them are very concerned about, especially Fang Zhou. That is what Liu Niang said about the secret related to the "immortal" on the fifth floor of Junlai Pavilion. This secret is related to whether he can go home. For Yi Wenlai
Said he was just curious.
three days later
The admissions exam officially started today. Yi and Wen also got up early. They were well prepared and arrived in front of Junlai Pavilion early. At this time, people were already coming in front of Junlai Pavilion. However,
It looked like most of them were spectators.
They were not the only ones who arrived early in the morning, but also the eldest lady of the Lu family, Lu Youqing, whom they met before.
"I didn't expect that the two young heroes also came to take the recruitment exam." Lu Youqing saw Yi and Wen again and said with a slight smile.
Lu Youqing belongs to the quiet type, calm and ladylike, a bit similar to Jiang Youyan's type of girl. Lu Youqing's appearance today in a white dress highlights her temperament. Yi Wen is not used to it.
When getting along with this type of girl, he has a wild temper and if you set so many rules for him, he will be suffocated to death.
"It's true that I'm here to take the recruitment exam. I'm not sure whether I can pass the exam." Just when Yi and Wen were about to answer, an annoying voice came over.
After Lu Youqing got off the carriage, Lu Huan, who had caused trouble for them before, came with Lu Youqing. He restrained himself a little this time, but he still didn't get rid of his bad mouth.
"Aren't some people confined at home? Why did they run out again?" Yi Wen said with a smile.
"you!"
"Lu Huan! Don't be rude! I didn't bring you out to cause trouble for you!" Lu Youqing frowned and said angrily.
"Sister! Who are you helping!" Although Lu Huan was unhappy, he could only complain. Ever since he was a child, Lu Huan Youqing had told him countless times that he "helps the family, not the relatives", but Lu Huan's trouble-loving temperament just changed.
Don't fall off.
"What do you think?" Lu Youqing smiled after saying this. Lu Youqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and Lu Huan knew that he could no longer be so presumptuous, and hurriedly walked towards Junlai Pavilion with his head buried.
After Yi and Wen saw Lu Huan running away in despair, they greeted Lu Youqing and walked towards Junlai Pavilion.
"Young hero." Just when Yi Wen and the two were about to enter Junlai Pavilion, Lu Youqing's sweet voice sounded behind them. Seeing the two of them turning around, Lu Youqing continued: "Your things have been lost."
He saw Lu Youqing holding a purse in his hand. Yi Wen quickly looked at the purse on his waist. Mao Yu had sewn it for him overnight, so he must not lose it.
Sure enough, what Lu Youqing picked up was the purse that Mao Yu had sewn for Yi Wen.
When Yi Wen took the purse, he accidentally touched Lu Youqing's finger. Lu Youqing had been well protected by her family at home since she was a child. Although she had a few male friends, they were just friends. The longest time she spent with men
, it was just with his younger brother Lu Huan.
She had never experienced such an electric shock-like feeling. Her cheeks immediately turned red, and her fingertips felt numb, and she hurriedly withdrew her delicate hands.
"Ah, Miss Lu, I...I didn't mean to..." Yi Wenwen had not yet realized why Lu Youqing was blushing. After he reacted for a moment, he finally discovered the problem.
"No...it doesn't matter." Lu Youqing shook her head gently and said.
"We are worried about your safety, so we came all the way to see you! You are here to have a concubine, right?" At this moment, Yi Wen and Lu Youqing suddenly remembered a familiar voice beside them.
Yang Mansion
In the Yang Mansion, Yang Jianyong strolled to a small room in the backyard.
This room is a private prison built by Yang Jianyong. The laws of ancient Anguo do not allow officials to set up private cells, but this private prison was specially approved by Yang Jianyong to be built by the current emperor. Yang Jianyong is an upright man, which is recognized by everyone
Even the late emperor was full of praise for the Yang family's family tradition, so His Majesty the Emperor allowed Yang Jianyong to set up a private prison as a sign of trust in him.
I saw that in this room, there were all kinds of torture instruments. In addition to Yang Jianyong's men, there was also the assassin captured today tied to the wooden stake in the room. This assassin looked like a strong man going to die, and he was not at all
Afraid of Yang Jianyong.
Before Yang Jianyong came, his subordinates did not use torture or interrogation privately. This was also specially instructed by Yang Jianyong. Because this rule can also be regarded as a means of "interrogation" by Yang Jianyong, which we will talk about next.
After the assassin was brought into this private prison, he no longer had any thoughts of getting out alive. He looked at the various torture instruments in front of him with some fear in his heart, but he just pretended not to care on the surface. What was even more uncomfortable was that,
The person who brought him in actually sat leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.
What is going on with this person? The assassin's stomach churns when he sees the man sitting there leisurely drinking tea. Although the smell in this private cell is not unbearable, it is definitely not a place to eat snacks and drink tea.
After Yang Jianyong's guard saw him walking in, he stood up and poured a cup of tea for Yang Jianyong.
After Yang Jianyong came in, he didn't even give the assassin a serious look. He just chatted with his guards about his family's feud. Like "
"What's the price of eggs in Dongtou market?" "Are there any good antiques in Xitou?" "How is the family's health?" "Who made this pastry today?" and so on. They talked about everything but ignored the assassin.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe half an hour? Or more? The assassin finally couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted: “Kill or behead, it’s up to you! You don’t need to pretend like this anymore!”
Yang Jianyong finally looked back at the assassin, scraped off the floating tea in the teacup, handed the teacup to the assassin's mouth, and motioned for him to take a sip.
"If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be tied up here comfortably now. Drink!" Seeing that he was still hesitant, Yang Jianyong smiled again and said.
The man glanced at Yang Jianyong and drank all the tea in the cup in two gulps.
"Your life in Yufeng Kingdom has not been easy these past few years, right?" After the assassin poured out the tea, Yang Jianyong's words made him freeze on the spot.
"Untie him." Yang Jianyong motioned to the guard to untie the assassin. The guard didn't seem surprised and just did as Yang Jianyong said.
After the assassin was loosened, he rubbed his wrist and asked, "How do you know I'm from Yufeng Kingdom?"
Yang Jianyong smiled and shook his head and said: "Not only do I know that you are from the Yufeng Kingdom, but I also know that many of you have sneaked into the Gu'an Kingdom. But why bother? As long as the two countries continue to be stable and harmonious, good development will naturally occur.
, you common people are just living your own lives, so why bother to take a trip into this muddy water?"
Yang Jianyong actually didn't know where he was from, but how could ordinary thieves dare to run wild in Yong'an City? Unless they were from the Yufeng Kingdom. The incident of the minister of the Ministry of Industry collaborating with the enemy has not yet completely passed. If you think about it a little bit,
You will know the identity of this assassin at once.
"I don't mean to embarrass you. Gu'an Kingdom and Yufeng Kingdom are the same family, so why bother fighting to the death?" Yang Jianyong said, taking out a piece of silver from his arms and calling it into the assassin's hand. He continued: "Let's live a good life after we go back.
Don’t get involved anymore.”
Seeing Yang Jianyong like this, the assassin didn't know what to do for a moment. He had thought about it before he came in. After being beaten twice, he would tell some insignificant information, and then his life and death would be left to fate. But now...
The assassin stretched out his slightly trembling hand to take the silver and walked out of the door. He stopped just two steps out of the door and said, "You are a good person. Be more careful in the future." After that, the man left the Yang Mansion.
"Sir, do you want to follow?" the guard asked after seeing the assassin walking away.
"No need, didn't he say that? Let me be more careful and explain that there are many of his accomplices in Yong'an City. Find them and eat them all." Yang Jianyong's kind expression just now disappeared, leaving only indifference.
If Yi Wen and Fang Zhou were here, they would definitely be familiar with this expression. They had also seen this expression on Song Wenqiu's face.
