Chapter 252
Duan Ce took the five-leaf clover and said "thank you".

Shangguan Yinger took a deep breath and said, "Every time I encounter difficulties, I will pick a handful of five-leaf clover, put it in a sachet, and carry it with me, so that all difficulties can be overcome."

While talking, she stuffed the five-leaf clover into the sachet, handed it to Duan Ce, and said, "I know, you've always been worried that you won't pass the graduation exam. Remember to bring it into the exam room to guarantee your success."

Duan Ce took it, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you."

Shangguan Ying'er waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. How is your foot? Is it better? Does it still hurt?"

Upon hearing this, Duan Ce touched his feet and said with a smile, "It's much better."

Shangguan Ying'er stood up from the rock and said, "That's good. Let's go gather herbs."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the basket and sickle beside her and left first. Duan Ce also got up and limped after her.

At this time, on the way to bring back the congratulatory gifts, King He Zixu of Guangping led a large army through a bamboo forest, and the accompanying generals asked anxiously, "My lord, how long do we have to go?"

He Zixu sat on a tall horse and said, "Maybe we can return to Jindu tomorrow."

Another general said: "My lord, there is no wind or waves on this road, and the congratulatory gifts should be sent back to Jindu smoothly tomorrow."

The former general smiled and said: "King Guangping is famous far and wide, of course there is no wind and no waves. Who doesn't know, King Guangping is brave and good at fighting, and he never relents in killing enemies on the battlefield. ?”

But He Zixu said cautiously: "Even so, we still have to be careful and take every step at a time."

The general next to his right hand asked a little puzzled: "What is it that makes you so worried?"

He Zixu said with a worried expression, "I always have an ominous premonition."

"An ominous premonition?" The two generals were taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at each other.

He Zixu sighed, eyebrows furrowed tightly and said: "Although it may not be accurate, it's just that King Jin has always been my enemy, and I have to guard against him in everything. Are you right?"

The general on the left side was a little disapproving and said: "The power of King Jin is not as good as before, so you can rest assured."

He Zixu smiled and said, "Of course I'm relieved to have you as a capable and loyal assistant."

As he spoke, he led the team slowly into the depths of the bamboo forest.

He Zixu ordered the officers and men to say: "The bamboo forest is remote, everyone be careful and be vigilant."

At this moment, a group of masked men in black suddenly flew down from the bamboo and fought with the team.

While killing the enemy, He Zixu ordered the general and other soldiers to say: "Protect He Li and withdraw quickly!"

After finally escaping from the bamboo grove, everyone rushed all the way with the gifts, but the box containing the gifts overturned halfway and fell to the ground.But what fell out of the box was not congratulatory gifts, but stones!

He Zixu was shocked when he saw this, and said, "Stone? How could it be a stone? Where did the gift go!"

Everyone was silent, but Tang Bozhen looked away a little guilty.

He Zixu sighed for a while, and said with a dejected expression: "All the silver has been turned into stone, and I have wasted decades of fighting in the battlefield. This time, I really capsized in the gutter!"

General Zuo said: "Who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head? This is a congratulatory gift for Concubine Yao and the future prince."

He Zixu stood up and said emotionally: "It's easy to hide a spear in the open and hard to defend against an arrow in the dark. If he robs him face to face, let this old man be the gatekeeper, even if he has thousands of troops, this congratulatory gift will be safe. I didn't expect that it would be Some people have tampered with it, and have taken advantage of it."

General Zuo suggested: "This is too bad, hurry up and report to the emperor, and bring the thieves to justice."

But He Zixu shook his head, and said: "No, this matter must not alarm the emperor. Think about it, these congratulatory gifts come from all over the country. Jiedu envoys come in a steady stream. There are too many opportunities for thieves to attack."

Hearing this, General Zuo Shen thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "My lord, do you mean that the thief will come again?"

He Zixu nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Yes, you need to get stolen goods to catch a thief. In order to avoid arousing the enemy, the old man decided to stand still for the time being."

He thought for a while, and told General Zuo: "Tang Bozhen and I will secretly investigate this matter. Please remember that this matter must not be publicized."

"Okay." General Zuo nodded and responded.

Martial Arts Hall, an exam is going on in the school.

Tang Bozhen announced loudly: "The topic of today's exam is about the marching formation in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". Everyone can start."

After finishing speaking, a group of disciples spread out the test papers, picked up their pens and began to answer.

As the invigilator, Tang Bozhen wandered around the examination room, monitoring whether any of the students cheated.

After finishing the first literary test, it will be the martial arts test, including archery, weightlifting, charging and killing enemies, etc.

It seemed that he did well in the exam, Duan Ce nodded in satisfaction with his performance, and after the exam was over, he happily ran to the Ching Pavilion to find Shangguan Yinger.

"Miss Shangguan, I have finished my graduation exam." Duan Ce said straight to the point.

Shangguan Ying'er fanned the fire of decocting medicine with a fan, and asked, "Oh, how's the grade?"

Duan Ce smiled and said, "The grades are much better than expected. I came here specially to thank you this time."

"Why do you thank me?" Shangguan Ying'er was startled when he heard the words, and asked a little puzzled.

Duan Ce took out the five-leaf clover sachet from his bosom, and said, "It's because of this, I always carry the five-leaf clover you gave me, not only when writing essays, but also when shooting arrows and lifting weights." When I was doing it, my strength also increased, it was really like a god's help."

After Shangguan Ying'er heard it, she smiled, and Duan Ce hurriedly asked, "Miss Shangguan, what are you laughing at?"

Shangguan Ying'er stopped what he was doing and said, "Actually, I lied to you. I made up the fact that five-leaf clover can bring luck."

Duan Ce was stunned for a moment, and said: "You know that I have low self-esteem by nature, so you made up a story to encourage me."

Shangguan Ying'er pursed her lips, and said calmly: "It's nothing, you are not bad, you just lack self-confidence."

"Thank you." Duan Ce still wanted to thank her.

Shangguan Ying'er smiled and said: "I lied to you, you still thank me?"

Duan Ce smiled slightly, and said, "It was kind of you to help me. So, please be respected by Xiaosheng."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and bowed in a dignified salute.

Shangguan Ying'er hurriedly stopped him, saying: "No, no. You don't need to be polite! I really can't stand you like this!"

At this time, it was already late at night in the Guangping Palace, and the housekeeper sneaked out of the courtyard with a bundle on his shoulders.

He Jiabei found out, and immediately went up to drink and asked: "Fu Bo, it's dark, you're sneaky, what do you want to do? What's in the bag?"

The housekeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "Fourth Young Master, you haven't rested yet? What I've packed here is nothing more than rubbish!"
