Deputy Shen Zhang shook his head, "No, I am originally from Longxi. I participated in the martial arts competition in the sixth year of Yongping, and then entered the Gyeonggi Camp."
Deputy Counselor Li next to him took over, "Assistant Counselor Zhang was the number one scholar in the martial arts examination in the sixth year of Yongping."
This made Shi Jingyang a little surprised. He raised his hand and said to Deputy Counselor Zhang: "Associate Counselor Zhang turned out to be the number one scholar in the martial arts examination in the sixth year of Yongping. I'm disrespectful!"
Deputy Shen Zhang returned the salute with his hand and said with a smile: "Commander Shi has given me too much praise. That was all done by the old man many years ago. It is not worthy of justice."
Deputy Counselor Li looked at Shi Jingyang and said with a smile: "Assistant Counselor Zhang, you are being humble. You got it based on your real ability. This is your real ability. How can you say you are an old man?"
Deputy Counselor Li looked at Shi Jingyang with disdain.
Shi Jingyang had a faint smile on his face, pretending not to notice Deputy Shen Li's expression and not bothering to compete with him.
Deputy Counselor Li Li Tiezhu is thirty-six this year. He joined the army at the age of sixteen and has been in the army for twenty years. From a small soldier to a deputy counselor, he is considered to be somewhat capable.
He admires people with ability from the bottom of his heart. He looks down on nobles and nobles from the bottom of his heart.
In Li Tiezhu's eyes, a son from an aristocratic family like him enjoys the protection of his ancestors.
In his previous life, when he first entered the Gyeonggi camp, Li Tiezhu often gave him a stumbling block.
Later, after knowing his abilities, I also sincerely obeyed him.
Deputy Counselor Zhang looked at Deputy Counselor Li and then at Shi Jingyang. He was extremely embarrassed. He smiled and smoothed things over and said, "General Qin is hosting a banquet today to cheer everyone up. Come on, let's have a drink."
Shi Jingyang raised his glass, raised his head and drank the wine. When he turned around, he saw General Chen pouring a glass towards him.
Shi Jingyang raised his glass to General Chen from the air. General Chen was the general of the Shi family.
When the banquet was over, Liu Jinrui didn't come back.
When Shi Jingyang returned to his camp, Qingshan immediately came in to plead guilty, "Sir, I didn't do things well, and I actually let the other party escape with such a good opportunity."
Nothing unusual was seen in the general camp, and Shi Jingyang already had an idea in his mind.
Shi Jingyang didn't blame him, he just asked: "Tell me first, what's going on?"
Qingshan bowed his head and said: "I underestimated Hua Hong's ability.
Deputy Commander Liu entered the side camp. The younger one did not follow him in immediately, but waited outside for about a quarter of an hour.
As a result, when I waited for an opportunity to go in, there was no one in the camp."
Shi Jingyang looked at Qingshan in surprise, "No one is in the tent? Neither Liu Jinrui nor Huahong are here?"
Qingshan leaned forward and said, "Yes, the room was empty. There was no one. I searched the tent all over and couldn't find it. Commander Liu seemed to have made the root disappear into thin air."
Shi Jingyang asked: "No one outside has seen anyone come out?"
Qingshan nodded, "The blame lies here. Our people have been staring at the general camp and haven't seen anyone coming out of the camp."
Shi Jingyang thought for a while and said: "We underestimated the enemy. Hua Hong was trained by Liu Jinrui, how can he only play the pipa?
Besides, that’s Qin Changquan’s tent.”
Qingshan looked up at Shi Jingyang and said with some fear: "So, General Qin has sided with the third prince?"
Shi Jingyang took a sip of tea and said, "It's very possible."
"Should I report this to Your Highness? Will General Qin target the Crown Prince during this military exercise? It's my fault that I underestimated the enemy." Qingshan asked worriedly.
Shi Jingyang shook his head, "No need for now. Don't blame yourself. If we can escape the trap set by Liu Jinrui for what happened today, we will win. Keep an eye on Qin Changquan and Liu Jinrui."
Shi Jingyang knew in his heart that the contest with Liu Jinrui would not happen overnight.
Qingshan bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."
Shi Jingyang put his tongue against his back teeth and thought for a moment, then said: "Liu Jinrui will be furious if his plan fails today, and he will give away the bonus overnight.
Have people guard the road and remove the bonus."
Qingshan received the order, bowed and responded: "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
In Liu Jinrui's tent, Liu Jinrui punched the quilt and said viciously: "How did Shi Jingyang know about today's matter?
If there were no traitors, how could Shi Jingyang know about it in such a short period of time?
Check it out, check it carefully! I’ll give you one day to pull out the nails.”
Liu Jinrui's eyes turned red with anger. A perfect opportunity to discredit Shi Jingyang was wasted, and he almost fell into Shi Jingyang's hands.
If Hua Hong hadn't been clever today, his ugly appearance would have been exposed to the public.
If that happens, the Prime Minister's Office will be pushed to the forefront again.
If he catches the traitor, he will cut him into pieces.
Liu Jinrui roared, and Qin Ming's heart tightened. He lowered his head to the ground and replied, "Yes, I'll go check it out now."
Facing the angry master, Qin Ming didn't even dare to get up and retreated to the door on his knees.
"Wait!" Liu Jinrui shouted when Qin Ming was about to stand up.
Qin Ming hurriedly knelt down and replied tremblingly: "Yes, what else do you want me to do?"
Liu Jinrui said: "Shi Jingyang already knows about Huahong's existence. We cannot let Huahong stay here anymore. Send her back to the city quickly."
Qin Ming bowed and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements right now."
Having said this, Qin Ming paused for a moment, looked up at his master on the bed, and asked nervously: "Sir, where are the others? Are they sent back together?"
Liu Jinrui thought for a while, nodded and said: "The rest are not in the camp, so don't worry about it for the time being. Send the bonus away first."
Qin Ming bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand, but General Qin..."
"I will take care of General Qin when he arrives, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Jinrui waved his hand and said impatiently.
After losing his temper, Liu Jinrui calmed down.
"Yes, I understand." Qin Ming bowed and turned around to make arrangements.
When Shi Jingyang returned to Zhuangzi, it was already time to arrive. As soon as he entered the door, Qingsong greeted him, "I'm back."
Shi Jingyang walked inside and asked, "How is Zhuangzi going? Are you okay?"
Qingsong fell half a step behind Shi Jingyang, leaned back and said, "Everything is normal, no suspicious people are approaching."
Shi Jingyang nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you go and have a rest. I'm going to see if Ah Wei has rested?"
Qingsong bowed in agreement, turned around and retreated.
Shi Jingyang went to the backyard and saw that the lights were still on in Ning Wei's courtyard.
Knowing that she had not rested yet, the corners of her mouth pursed involuntarily, and her steps became much faster.
Shi Jingyang walked to the door and saw Ning Wei reading under the lamp and Ruo Qing wiping her lancet.
Ruoqing is a martial arts practitioner and is very alert.
As soon as Shi Jingyang arrived at the door, Ruo Qing looked up.
Seeing Shi Jingyang standing at the door, he stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
Ning Wei heard the sound and raised her head. When she saw Shi Jingyang, she came over with a smile. "The prince is back."
