I'm so hard

Chapter 299 Everything is under control
Morning run, afternoon run, night run, all day run, intermittent run...

Not just Changdan City, not just Nanerlang, there was a running craze throughout Dazhou.

Children as young as five years old, as old as the elderly, are all very enthusiastic about exercising.

Alleys, fields, and woods have almost become good places for running.

Zhao Yan couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the news about the long-distance running in various states reported below.But after thinking about it carefully, he understood.

Scholars run to become officials.

Some civil servants and scholars even ran to some military generals specifically to seek ways to train their bodies.

And the common people run because the weather is good this year, and every family has a surplus of food, and they are idle when they are full, not to mention that running can exercise their bodies.

Nowadays, girls in Goulan not only like scholars and rich people, but also like people who are good at running.

Running quickly became a fashion in Dazhou.

Anyone who does not run a few steps means old-fashioned, backward and conservative.

The pharmacist was living well in a secluded residential house, but he only waited for a month later, when Zhao Yan ran with all the court officials, he led others to assassinate him again.

But I never thought that the running thing would cause such a sensation.

If he doesn't go out for a few steps, the surrounding neighbors will soon go to the government to report that he may have problems.

In desperation, the pharmacist led a group of people to run from time to time.

……

In the middle of the night, I can't see my fingers.

In the backmost room of a residence, five men sat around a square table with bright candles and a map of animal skins.

The leader is the pharmacist, and the four men beside him are his absolute confidantes.

The pharmacist looked at the animal skin map and said: "According to reliable information, when Zhao Yan and the officials of Dazhou are running, they will definitely pass through this peach blossom forest. This is also the easiest place for us to attack. On that day, we will ambush here in advance When the Emperor of Great Zhou came to the Peach Blossom Forest, I ordered the [-] dead soldiers in Northern Mongolia to quickly surround him, and then we tried our best to assassinate the Little Emperor of Great Zhou. Our target was only him. When the assassination was successful, we would Quickly evacuate, as for how many Dazhou officials can be killed, that is the task of the dead soldiers in Northern Mongolia, those dead soldiers will definitely not survive, but we can completely escape as ordinary people."

"My lord, I heard that there are many masters hidden around the little emperor of the Great Zhou. What if we can't kill him in a short time?" A man asked.

The pharmacist snorted coldly, and said: "My lord has obtained a hundred bows and crossbows the day before yesterday, as long as he enters our ambush circle, he will definitely die!"

A hundred crossbows?

The other four couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Now, in Changtan, even a weapon needs to be reported, and weapons such as artillery and sky thunder are absolutely confidential, and ordinary people can't see them at all.

It is very rare for the pharmacist to get a hundred bows and crossbows.

The pharmacist drew a cross with his finger on the part of the peach blossom forest on the map, and said confidently, "Zhao Yan, since you want to die, the lord of this country will fulfill you!"

In the morning of the next day, inside the Chuigong Hall.

Chu Baolai, Minister of the Household Department, and Shen Tuyi, the Commander of the Forbidden Army, came before Zhao Yan.

"Your Majesty, in the past three months, a large number of foreigners have poured into Changdan City. According to my knowledge, most of these people are from Northern Mongolia and Korea, and the number is about 1300." Chu Baolai, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs report.

The reason why he is so clear is that in March last year, Zhao Yan asked him to start the "identity book" formulation plan.

The identity book, that is, all the people of the Great Zhou will form a series of numbers, each number is unique, if there is this number, it is a citizen of the Great Zhou, if it does not, it is an outsider.

The common people don't know about this plan, but the officials of the Great Zhou know it very well, and its significance to the Great Zhou is really great.

Based on this identity book, Chu Baolai found out that the number of people pouring into Changtan was a bit strange after some secret investigations.

At this time, Shen Tuyi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, after learning about this matter, I also made a secret visit, and found that the leader of this group of people is none other than the chief pharmacist of the Koryo Kingdom. Your Majesty is at a disadvantage, and I suggest that they should be handed over immediately."

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face, and then he shook his head.

"No, don't disturb them. The long-distance running competition will continue. I have my own idea." Zhao Yan looked at the map on the dragon case, and then drew a circle at the location of the peach blossom forest outside the city.

On the second day that the pharmacist entered Changdan, Zhao Yan already knew about it.

With the Dragon Guards around, nothing can hide from him.

……

Time flies, and a month is fleeting.

Finally ushered in the time of the big week long-distance running competition.

Outside the north gate of the imperial city, there was a steady flow of people.

And in the place under the city gate, all the officials under the seventh grade of the Great Zhou Dynasty and under the age of 55 were all like this. Everyone was wearing thin shirts, as if they were going down to the river to take a bath, quite neatly.

Martial commander Yang Xinghuai, who is nearly seventy years old, is also among them.

But Shangguan Kuey looked confident and was moving his body.

Other officials were drinking water constantly to keep themselves from becoming dehydrated.

These people are the pillars of the imperial court, Zhao Yan naturally can't let everyone make mistakes, there is a forbidden soldier standing guard every 100 meters, and all kinds of water, food and imperial doctors are prepared in the surrounding cars and horses.

The pharmacist stood among the surrounding crowd, with an excited smile on his face.

"Hmph, if Da Zhou has such a lineup, then killing the little emperor of Da Zhou is as easy as pie!"

But at this moment, Shen Tuyi looked at the crowd outside and murmured in his heart: "These Northern Mongolians and Koreans will be severely insulted!"

At this moment, Zhao Yan appeared above the city gate.

Zhao Yan was wearing a loose white dress and a pair of boots. He looked very handsome, and every step he ran was sure to be breezy.

Zhao Yan waved towards the people below, and there was a sudden silence below. Everyone raised their heads and looked at Zhao Yan with admiration.

With a smile on his face, Zhao Yan gave a dry cough, and said, "I announce that the long-distance running competition has officially started. People can supervise the whole process from both sides of the track and cheer for the officials!"

"lets go!"

As soon as Zhao Yan finished speaking, he saw a fat middle-aged man rushing forward first.

This person is none other than Gao Feng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites. This year, his weight has soared for 20 years, and he is Zhao Yan's key weight loss target.

Immediately, all the officials rushed forward.

Under the protection of Hei Wa and Shen Tuyi, Zhao Yan also ran forward.

After running 300 meters, Gao Feng was exhausted and out of breath.

At this time, Shangguan ran over displeased and said, "Oh, isn't this Gao Shilang? I thought you had reached the finish line, but you ran back again. Why are you sweating so much!"

Hearing this, Gao Feng regained his strength immediately, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, gritted his teeth and ran again.

Zhao Yan from behind sighed: "This Shangguan is not happy, his mouth is really stinky! But after Gao Feng is provoked, maybe he can run the whole distance!"

At the same time, the pharmacist led some of his subordinates to quietly follow Zhao Yan in the crowd, walking forward at a leisurely pace.

He had no idea that everything was under Zhao Yan's control.
