Su Cheng jumped onto the carriage with great strides, opened the curtain, and came in with a smile: "Girl!"

He also saw Su Qi, "Oh, you are here too."

I'm not that enthusiastic about Su Qi.

After all, she is not his fat daughter.

Su Qi greeted him politely: "Uncle...Uncle."

Uncle has recovered his memory, right? Can I call him that now?

Why are you so nervous?

Su Cheng coughed lightly, not knowing whether it counted as a response or not.

Su Cheng looked them up and down and asked, "Girls, where have you two been? Why are you all wet? Did you fall into the water?"

Su Qi glanced at the chubby girl without leaving a trace.

It's not falling, it's jumping.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, Su Qi fell into the river, and I pulled him out."

Su Qi who fell into the river: "..."

“A-choo!”

Su Qi sneezed.

The water is very cold in April, why is this little girl okay?

Su Cheng handed Su Qi a handkerchief.

Su Qi was so moved that he burst into tears. My uncle really loves me! Su Cheng: "Cover your mouth and nose, don't infect my daughter."

Su Qi: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Dad, are the results out?"

Su Cheng said: "Come out!"

"Who, who won?" Su Qi asked nervously.

It was a done deal, but for some reason, he felt uneasy and was always worried that Emperor Jingxuan would do something strange.

His worries were not without reason. Emperor Jingxuan played tricks, but he did not win.

Su Cheng told the story about the military strategy exam.

Su Qi frowned: "Sure enough! I knew things wouldn't go so smoothly..."

Thinking of something, he looked at Su Cheng again in confusion, "But, uncle, you can't read, can you understand that test paper? Did you really do it yourself?"

"Why can't I understand? I, I, I... I can read!"

Someone said it very unconfidently.

Just at this moment, Wei Ting's carriage passed by here.

The officials left one after another. As there were so many people around, he did not come over to say hello. Lord Wei, who had hidden his merits and fame, got into his own carriage.

"Is it Wei Ting?" Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Cheng looked up at the sky: "What did you say? I don't understand."

He can still hide!

There was indeed cheating in this military strategy exam. Wei Ting personally sneaked into the palace and took a peek at the exam paper in advance.

However, the question that was finally picked out for the test was not the one Wei Ting saw.

But Old Man Su was not stupid. He just didn't understand much about military strategy and he certainly couldn't write well.

But he's got a good brain.

If he can't write, can he not draw? It doesn't matter if it's aesthetic, as long as people can understand it.

This is how he passed messages to others when he was escorting goods in the past.

He was able to perform on the spot and understand everything, which was probably the talent that was rumored.

Qin Jiang cares too much about gains and losses, while Su Cheng is bold enough and his thinking is not limited.

…

Outside the hunting ground, the princes and princesses also got on the carriages one after another.

"Third brother." Princess Hui'an called out.

Xiao Chonghua smiled gently and said softly: "Wait for me in the carriage, I will go and talk to my brother."

Princess Hui'an got on the carriage obediently.

Xiao Chonghua walked to Xiao Duye's carriage and said, "Brother."

Xiao Duye's face looked a little ugly.

As one of the commanders of the Imperial Guard, he was naturally held accountable by Emperor Jingxuan for making such a big mistake.

Being held accountable was expected, but the fact that both Su Cheng and Qin Jiang survived was unexpected.

"I want to congratulate my third brother for being valued by our father."

Xiao Chonghua comforted him, "Brother, don't be depressed. I believe that the emperor is just angry for a moment and is venting his anger on you. When the emperor calms down, he will naturally let you return to your post."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, Xiao Duye's face became even darker.

If Su Cheng had not won, Emperor Jingxuan would not have been so angry, and the punishment on him would not have been so severe.

To be precise, the commander of the Imperial Guard is Lord Fu, and he is just an assistant. If something happens, he will not be the first target.

However, he and Commander Fu were both stripped of their official titles, which shows to what extent Emperor Jingxuan was angry with Su Cheng.

"Is there anything wrong, third brother?" Xiao Duye asked indifferently.

Xiao Chonghua said in a gentle voice: "No, I just saw that Big Brother looked very bad, so I came over to comfort him."

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, Third Brother."

"In that case, I will go investigate the case."

What happened in the forest must be investigated. Emperor Jingxuan has handed the case over to the Dali Temple and asked Xiao Chonghua to go to the Dali Temple to assist in the investigation.

Xiao Duye felt even more upset.

Xiao Chonghua seemed not to notice the cold light in his eyes, and got on his carriage with a gentle smile. - Xiao Chonghua and the Dali Temple Minister went to the Huguogong Mansion.

Qin Jiang has woken up and knows that he has lost to Su Cheng.

Before he could even lament his fate, he was interrogated by Xiao Chonghua and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

He wanted to slander Su Cheng, but he didn't know where to start.

His testimony basically matched Su Cheng's. The guards around him had rebelled and suddenly started hunting him. He fled in a hurry, but Guard Cheng beside Su Cheng held back the traitor.

But there are some discrepancies later on.

"Su Cheng said he led some of them away? Ha, it was obviously him who abandoned me and ran away first!"

Xiao Chonghua asked: "So, there are no assassins chasing him?"

Qin Jiang choked and said, "I went."

Xiao Chonghua: "How many people went?"

Qin Jiang: “About five or six.”

Xiao Chonghua: "How many did you kill?"

Qin Jiang: “Two.”

This is consistent with what Su Cheng said.

The Dali Temple Minister glanced at Qin Jiang and thought to himself, you just can't stand Su Cheng. He clearly helped you to lure away the assassin, but you still slandered him for abandoning you and running away.

"By the way, what happened to the archer? Is he okay?" Qin Jiang asked.

Xiao Chonghua and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple both showed puzzled expressions.

"What archers?" Xiao Chonghua asked.

"An archer from the Divine Bow Camp." Qin Jiang said, "He helped to deal with many assassins, but... he also shot me with an arrow..."

Recalling this, Qin Jiang was also puzzled.

Why did the archer shoot him? If he wanted to kill him, he was still alive.

He fainted immediately after being shot by the arrow and had no idea what happened next.

"There were no archers." Xiao Chonghua said, "The person you mentioned who shot the assassin must be Guard Cheng. After he dealt with the traitor in the Imperial Guard, he came to rescue you and Su Cheng."

Qin Jiang muttered, "Is it Guard Cheng? But his archery skills... don't seem like something a royal guard can have."

Xiao Chonghua said: "As for why he shot you, it was probably because he missed the target and wanted to shoot the assassin."

Qin Jiang wanted to think, that person's archery skills are so accurate, how could he miss so easily? But apart from this, he couldn't think of any other possibility.

He never considered that he was Su Cheng's accomplice because he knew that Qin Canglan and Su Shuo did not have such powerful archers around them.

It can't be that they are the ones who are personally taking part in the battle. What a joke! They are just accompanying Emperor Jingxuan in the sand table simulation.

After leaving the Duke of Huguo's residence, Xiao Chonghua was about to get on the carriage to go back home. He paused and said to the Dali Temple Minister, "Master Tong, please send someone to the Divine Bow Camp to ask if any archers have been secretly sent to the hunting grounds."

The Dali Temple Minister bowed and said, "Yes, Third Prince." -Wei Family.

Wei Ting was copying books honestly in the room.

It was requested by Old Lady Wei.

This is the price of getting into trouble.

His right hand was injured, but he still had his left hand, so the copying was crooked, but he had to bite the bullet and copy.

Yuchi Xiu flashed and entered the house.

"Is it done?" Wei Ting asked.

Yuchi Xiu grabbed a peach and sat down on the chair without any image. He ate it and said, "Is there anything I can't do?"

Su Xiaoxiao guessed one thing right, Guard Cheng was indeed Xiao Duye's pawn.

However, Wei Ting had been keeping an eye on Xiao Duye and noticed his little tricks, so he asked Yuchi Xiu to kill Guard Cheng in advance and disguise himself as the other party.

"Ice money."

Yuchi Xiu said.

The coroner in the yamen was no pushover. Guard Cheng died at noon. In order to prevent the coroner from determining his time of death, Yuchi Xiu got a large amount of ice to freeze the body.

This method was taught by Wei Ting.

"I owe it to you." Wei Ting said.

A lot of debt is no burden.

Yuchi Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "You just won five thousand taels from Xiao Duye!"

Wei Ting thought about it and seemed to think that what he said made sense, so he opened his purse, took out a copper coin from it and put it in Yuchi Xiu's hand.

Yuchi Xiu: “…”

Yuchi Xiu clenched his fists.

You're stingy, right? You don't pay me, right?

Okay, then I won’t tell you. That girl went into the forest today! In fact, even Su Cheng didn’t know that Su Xiaoxiao had been in the forest. He thought that those assassins were killed by Yuchi Xiu alone.

Of course, Su Cheng didn't know at the beginning that Yuchi Xiu had disguised himself as a guard. He ran into Yuchi Xiu dealing with the corpse.

That scene was... a bit embarrassing to be honest.

The ending was good. Su Cheng was very loyal. When he learned that the person was sent by his son-in-law, he helped Yuchi Xiu to dispose of the body.

Yuchi Xiu helped Su Cheng fake an injury.

The two exchanged plans for the aftermath and discovered many loopholes that they had not thought of in time, and felt that they had met too late.

When being with Su Cheng, Yuchi Xiu felt like a wise man, as both of them shone with the light of wisdom.

And next to Wei Ting, Yuchi Xiu often felt like a mentally retarded person——

"snort!"

Yuchi Xiu left without looking back!
