Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 114

　　Now most of the officials are on vacation, only Mu Linting is still busy at the end of the year because of the promotion of sweet potatoes.

　　Although it is not the time to plant sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes will be trial planted in various places next spring. Therefore, they must prepare enough sweet potato vines indoors or in a greenhouse before spring begins.

　　The weather in Beijing is equivalent to the weather in the north. Generally, sweet potatoes in the north can be divided into spring potatoes and summer potatoes, and the growth cycle is about 100 days. It is estimated that after planting in February and March, it will take three to four months to harvest.

　　Since the sweet potato given by Shen Chenyu is a genetically modified sweet potato, it is estimated that not only the growth cycle will be greatly shortened, but the yield of sweet potato per mu can also be increased a lot.

　　Originally, sweet potatoes were a high-yield grain, and Shen Chenyu's one was improved. It must be even more sensational than movable type printing when the sweet potatoes are actually harvested.

　　After that, for four or five days in a row, Shen Chenyu stayed with Mu Linting at Zhuangzi outside the city, and didn't even go back when they were resting at night.

　　Shen Chenyu was clearly asking the fifth prince to kill him. In order not to disappoint Shen Chenyu, the fifth prince really sent a secret guard to assassinate him.

　　The people sent by the fifth prince are all secret guards, even if they accidentally fell into a trap and were caught, they would take poison and would never betray the fifth prince.

　　As long as Shen Chenyu can't catch the living people, and there is no direct evidence that the Fifth Prince's people did it, then even if the assassination failed this time, it will not cause too much loss to the Fifth Prince.

　　Not only that, but the fifth prince can use this to test Shen Chenyu and see where the other party has the confidence to take risks.

　　But relatively, Shen Chenyu's risk is not worth it. His life can be important to everything, even more important than Mu Linting's life.

　　If something unexpected happened to Shen Chenyu this time, it would be equivalent to cutting off one of the Eighth Prince's hands directly, and it might even cause chaos in Mu Linting.

　　For the fifth prince, Shen Chenyu is gambling with his life, and this bet is a 100% sure to lose situation. Because those hidden guards of the Fifth Prince would never betray him easily.

　　Seeing that it was almost thirty years old, Shen Chenyu gave many people in the village a holiday, thinking that if the fifth prince's people didn't make a move, he would take Mu Linting back to celebrate the new year tomorrow.

　　In order to give the fifth prince a chance, Shen Chenyu deliberately dismissed Mu Linting today. Even in such a situation where there are obvious opportunities for people, if there is still no movement from the Fifth Prince, it means that the Fifth Prince is too cautious.

　　Such a cautious person is difficult to deal with, but at the same time it will make the other party appear timid. With the emperor's aggressive temper, he might not have looked down on such a timid prince.

　　However, in the middle of the night of this day, a few blurred figures flashed in the silent Zhuangzi, and several masked men skillfully blew the drug, and slipped into Shen Shenyu's room lightly.

　　The masked men are all masters of the hidden guards. They have already figured out the layout here before they acted, and they just checked around and found no guards.
