Suburbs of Beijing

Sun Qin led the way, Ma Jin followed behind, and Fatty Wu, Lian Sheng and the others stayed at the foot of the mountain and did not move forward.

Looking at Sun Qin with a strong temperament in front of him, Ma Jin asked in a low voice.

"General Sun, why is the emperor here?"

Sun Qin turned around and looked at Ma Jin with envy. You know, when Emperor Jingkang heard that Ma Jin was coming, he immediately called Ma Jin to come forward to see him. What kind of favor is this?

Thinking of this, Sun Qin's smile at Ma Jin became a little stronger.

When he heard Ma Jin's question, Sun Qin shook his head and said, "This general dare not understand the best intentions, but the three princesses from yesterday also came with the emperor, including King Qing and King Su."

Yan Yi is here too?

Ma Jin muttered in his heart, and just wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he opened the news, he saw the gentle slope that had appeared in front of him, and swallowed the words he said.

...

Compared to yesterday, looking at the mattress on the gentle slope, today it is much empty.

Emperor Jingkang sat in the middle, with the second prince, King Qing, Yan Jin and the fourth prince, King Su, Yan Yi.

There are also two middle-aged men who are accompanying each other here, wearing gorgeous clothes and extraordinary temperament. One is the former general Di Yi, and the other is the boss of Ma Jin, Cai Yang, the left-level censor of the Censorate, and both are the confidants of Emperor Jingkang and the absolute minister of the humeral.

The main supervisor of the Inner Interior, Hana Zixu, who had recovered from his injuries, brought several eunuchs to serve him.

Yan Yan and the three princesses were still at their seats yesterday, with a screen in the middle. Ma Jin was brought by Sun Qin, and a pair of beautiful eyes on the other side of the screen were quietly looking at them.

...

Ma Jin was carefully searched by the guards guarding the exit several times before putting him in.

Sun Qin brought Ma Jin to Emperor Jingkang and knelt on one knee: "Report to the emperor, I will bring the imperial censor Ma to him."

Ma Jin also bowed down immediately: "My minister Ma Jin meets the emperor."

Emperor Jing Kang turned his gaze to Wenhui below, and saw Ma Jin kneeling on the ground, and casually said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ma Jin stood up honestly, Emperor Jing Kang looked at Ma Jin up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Ma Aiqing did a good job in the last Shi Lezhi case."

Ma Jingang stood up and knelt down again: "It depends on the ethics of the Lord."

Emperor Jing Kang nodded with satisfaction, asked Ma Jin to get up, and then suddenly said, "Teach hard for two years, I'm waiting for you."

As soon as this statement was made, the two princes of Yan Yi, Yan Jin, and the two ministers of Cai Yang and Di Yi all changed their expressions. Ma Jin was Jian in the heart of the emperor.

Ma Jin's immediate superior Cai Yang was already wondering whether to put a burden on Ma Jin after he got back.

Cai Yang's character is upright, but it does not mean that he does not know how to adapt. Ma Jinsheng is very loyal, and Cai Yang does not mind releasing goodwill without violating the principles.

...

Emperor Jingkang talked with Ma Jin for a few words, and then asked the eunuch below to bring a chair to Ma Jin and let him sit down.

Ma Jin's seat happened to be next to Yan Yi. As soon as he sat down, Yan Yi smiled and said hello: "How can Zisheng come to visit the Wenhui today?"

Yan Yi's tone was very casual, and he called Ma Jin directly, deliberately making people feel that he and Ma Jin were very close.

Sure enough, when King Qing Yanjin, who was standing beside him, heard Yan Yi's approach to Ma Jin, his face changed slightly, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

This scene was seen by the sharp-eyed former general Di Yi. Di Yi's eyes when he looked at Ma Jin were immediately full of playfulness.

Ma Jin's reaction was not slow. As soon as Yan Yi called him, Ma Jin's heart skipped a beat and he was secretly complaining that he had been pulled onto the boat by Yan Yi this time.

Forced himself to squeeze out a smile, Ma Jin called out His Highness Su, and then said: "The Qingyuan Wenhui gathered many young heroes in the capital, and the officials also want to come over and see them."

Yan Yi nodded, and the King Qing Yan Jin next to him suddenly spoke: "This is Lord Ma who rescued Jiajia from the Nanjiao. After I came back from the Yangzhou office, I have heard of Lord Ma's reputation. I met him today and it is indeed extraordinary."

Ma Jin didn't know who Yan Jin was, and I don't know what to call him, Yan Yi introduced him: "This is my second brother, King Qing."

Ma Jin hurriedly stood up and said, "It turns out that it is Your Highness King Qing. Your Highness has praised you. The emperor must not dare to deserve this praise from Your Highness."

Yan Jin smiled and asked tentatively: "Looking at the fourth brother's appearance just now, Lord Ma seems to have a very short relationship with his fourth brother."

Before Ma Jin could speak, Yan Yi took the conversation with joy: "Zi Sheng and I have known each other for quite some time. We have a good personality and are attracted to each other as confidants. Some time ago, the Ministry of Revenue investigated the case, and Zi Sheng also helped a lot."

"Oh, so that's it!"

Yan Jin smiled at Ma Jin, stopped talking, and turned around and looked at Wenhui.

But Yan Jin's smile only knows the little sincerity.

Ma Jin smiled bitterly in his heart. He could not wash Yan Yi's imprint even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Yan Yi was in a good mood and pulled Ma Jinchao to point fingers from the audience. From time to time, he would say a few words to Emperor Jing Kang. He still had time to take care of Cai Yang. Di Yi was in a very comfortable mood.

It forms a sharp and strong contrast with Ma Jin's hardship~

...

In this way, about a quarter of an hour later, everyone heard a gong sound from the audience and the piano competition began.

The emcee was the same as yesterday, Chu Guang, vice president of Chunlei Academy, and just like yesterday, he read the opening remarks as usual and began to introduce the rules of the competition.

However, compared with yesterday, the introduction was more detailed and clear. Ma Jin glanced at Emperor Jingkang quietly, and it seemed that the emperor did not hide his whereabouts.

However, Ma Jin looked around and even when he was going up the mountain, at least hundreds of waist-hip swords and strong-fitting guards.

These guards are all elites among the imperial guards, and they all fight ten, and there is also the former general of Daqian, Di Yi, who is the first general of Daqian.

Unless the soldiers from the north and south battalions were transferred to encircle and suppress, or the nine-sect admiral rebelled, Emperor Jingkang would be unscathed.

Well, it seems that the last assassination in the southern suburbs made Jing Kangdi’s safety protection more than just one step ahead.

...

After Chu Guang introduced the rules, he announced the start of the competition and then stepped down.

As soon as he got down, a young man in dark red, holding a flute in his hand and playing on stage.

This young man in red has a very good level. He plays the flute clearly and pleasantly, cheerful and interestingly. Even though Ma Jin doesn't understand music theory, he also thinks he plays it very nicely.

Tsk, such good kung fu, but unfortunately he is a man...

...

Sure enough, the three judges also showed him high scores, two eight points and one seven points.

The challengers who played later were not as good as him. The young man in red defended three games in a row before he was defeated by a young man playing the pipa.

The people on the mat listened with relish. Suddenly, Emperor Jing Kang turned to look at Ma Jin and asked with a smile: "What kind of musical instrument is your good at?"

Ma Jin didn't know which string broke his head, so he replied directly.

"I can play suona."

Jing Kangdi: "..."

Others: "…"
