Watch the sea

Ye Xinghui raised his head following the voice, and looked at the owner of the voice - Su Lang, the second son of the Su family in Yinghai City, who was gentle and moist like jade, and looked like Mr. Pianpian.

As he expected, it's not that people don't come, but they come in person.

Ye Xinghui got up, and said with a slight smile: "I dare not be admired. I first came to the capital, and I was not acclimatized. Unfortunately, I was ill, so I had no choice but to reject the next post. This is the first time I have come to the imperial capital. I really yearn for any beautiful and rare treasures worthy of the Second Master Su's personal invitation."

Su Lang secretly looked at the young man in front of him. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old. On the one hand, he knew that this young man's martial arts realm was not low.Su Lang replied with a smile: "The peach blossoms in Chaoyuan in the suburbs of Beijing are very rare and beautiful."

Ye Xinghui smiled lightly and nodded: "The peach blossoms in Chaoyuan are burning. It is a scene in the imperial capital. I have heard of it in Lishan, but I have never seen it. This must be Han Shizi, right?"

The person next to him was tall and tall, with a stern face, dressed in a black dress, with red silk thread embroidered on the collar and cuffs with flowing cloud pattern piping. Ye Xinghui saw that this person's clothing was roughly the same as that of the people at the next table except for the color of the piping, but Even though they were similar clothes, wearing on this person, he looked handsome and elegant with an innate dignity.Han Chengmiao was not surprised when Ye Xinghui revealed his identity, but said, "Young master has good eyesight."

Xing Hui waved his hand: "The one who walked side by side with Second Young Master Su should be Shi Zi Han." After finishing speaking, he made a gesture of "please": "Please sit down, both of you, and have a cup of tea before talking."

The people at the next table saw Su Lang and Han Chengmiao, who were also the guards of the Son of Heaven, but they didn't even come to say hello, they went downstairs to check out and left. Now they were the only table left on the second floor, Xing Hui felt a little nervous Surprised, not obvious on the surface, but wondering in his heart, the relationship between colleagues in the Guards Camp is so strange, presumably the second floor should be occupied by the two in front of him.

Su Lang and Han Chengmiao were not surprised either. Su Lang poured a cup of tea and said, "I think all the great families in the imperial capital have sent messages to the young master. It is my honor that the young master accepts tomorrow's invitation."

But Ye Xinghui replied: "When I come to the imperial capital, sooner or later I will enter the emperor's guard camp. I am not familiar with the place where I live. It is human nature to meet with my colleagues in the future."

Su Lang nodded: "That's right, the young master is the only son of the Eastern Capital Realm Master, so naturally he will enter the South Hall of the Hall of Martial Arts."

"South Hall?"

Han Chengmiao continued: "Well, in the South Hall, the people at the next table just now came from the North Hall, and they didn't talk to us. It's almost the custom in the North and South Halls to not fight each other."

Xinghui was startled, even though he was surprised at the behavior of the people at the next table, he didn't show it on his face, but Han Chengmiao was able to tell at a glance that the imperial capital really is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and everyone should not be underestimated.Thinking about it, he only replied, "Interesting."

Su Lang added a cup of tea for him: "The warriors in the Hall of Martial Heroes are divided into the South Hall and the North Hall. The South Hall accepts children from aristocratic families, and the North Hall accepts ordinary warriors. After paying homage to the Hall, they enter the Yongzi Department, learn rules and etiquette, and practice internal martial arts. If you enter the Xiangzi Department and wear the silver-patterned border guard uniform, you can enter the camp and serve. The few you saw just now are warriors from the North Hall. But if you want to serve the imperial court, you have to continue after you get the Xiangzi waist card. Practice, and pass the examination to enter the Yi Zi Department, and then you can become the imperial guard. But you are the son of the head of the family, and you can serve the imperial court when you enter the Xiang Zi Department."

Xinghui glanced at the red borders of the two of them, and Han Chengmiao explained to him: "We have been in the imperial capital for a long time, and we have been in the Hall of Martial Heroes for a long time, so we entered the word Yi. When you leave the hall, it is up to you It is not uncommon for the son of the Patriarch to serve the imperial court with a Xiang character waist card, for example, Chu Heng of the Zhongpinghou Mansion, although he is in the foundation building state, he has been in the imperial court for quite some time."

Hearing the word "Chuheng", Xinghui choked on his tea and coughed for a while: "Building foundation?"

Seeing that he was coughing badly, Su Lang got up and walked over to help him pat his back: "Well, what's wrong? Speaking of which, he also came from Lishan Mountain."

Feeling hands on his back, Xinghui suddenly felt itchy: "No, it's just that I haven't seen Brother Chu for a long time. But why is he the one who went to the Chu family? Isn't his younger brother Chu Yan 17 years old? Can he also serve the imperial court at the foundation building stage?"

Seeing that he stopped coughing, Su Lang just returned to his seat: "Chu Chen, the eldest son of the Chu family, was not in the imperial capital before. Last year, the concubine Chu Yan turned 17 years old. Originally, the Chu family did plan to send him to the Hall of Martial Heroes, but Chu Yan He was not in good health, and happened to be seriously ill again. Anyway, Chu Heng returned to Beijing, so he had to be replaced by him. In the foundation building stage, he is the son of Zhong Pinghou, so it’s okay. Speaking of which, Chu Heng didn’t have a spiritual bone , you can actually practice martial arts when you arrive at Lishan Mountain?"

Xing Hui thought about it, but didn't show it on his face: "It's not that he doesn't exist, but his spiritual bones are a little thinner. I planned to visit him in Zhongpinghou's mansion, but now it seems that I can see him when I enter the palace."

Han Chengmiao said: "Young master and brother Chu Heng have a deep friendship."

"Well, it's very good." Xinghui directly admitted: "It's always been like this between Lishan brothers, and besides, Chu brother studied under my mother."

Han Chengmiao nodded and said nothing more.

At the same time, the word "Chu Heng" was passed on to the emperor.

Today's son, Ling Ye, is the son of the first emperor and second son.When he ascended the throne when he was young, he was subject to the succession of the first emperor, that is, the current empress dowager.

Four years ago, Gu Yanshi, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, beheaded the eldest son of the Empress Dowager, King Qi, on the bank of Chengshui. Get rid of the wings of King Qi and the Queen Mother, and completely take back the power of the emperor.

So far, the whole world has become a vassal, and Ling Ye has truly become the supreme emperor of Dayin Kyushu.

It's just that the calm on the surface always hides the turbulent undercurrent inside. Everyone knows that the peace of the world is just an illusion, and the emperor's position is not secure. The fighting intensified.

Ling Ye waved back the shadow guard who had sent the message, and told the palace guards: "Call Chu Heng."

A moment later, a young man dressed in the emperor's personal guard uniform with silver cloud patterns entered the hall, knelt down and saluted: "Chu Heng pays homage to Your Majesty."

Ling Ye was reading the brochure, and when he heard him greet him, he didn't look up, but gave a faint "hmm" and called out.

Chu Heng got up and stood still, and the emperor didn't say anything. For a while, the only sound of dripping water could be heard in Jingcheng Hall, as if it was hitting people's hearts.

The time for a cup of tea passed quietly, and Chu Heng felt a little uneasy, thinking over and over whether he had done anything wrong recently, when Ling Ye suddenly said, "Ye Xinghui arrived in the imperial capital today."

Chu Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he replied "yes".

The emperor got up, walked around the imperial case and walked in front of him, and said slowly: "Ah Yue, I remember that you are also a teacher of Lishan Mountain?"

Chu Heng said respectfully: "I am under the tutelage of Elder Mu of Lishan Mountain, and Elder Mu is the mother of Young Master Ye."

Ling Ye nodded lightly: "Well, tomorrow Su Lang and the others invited Ye Xinghui to Chaoyuan in the suburbs of Beijing to see the peach blossoms. You and Ye Xinghui must have not seen each other for a long time. Let you take a day off and go with them."

Chu Heng knelt down to thank him, and left.

Seeing the people leaving, Ling Ye tapped lightly on the case with his fingers, remembering the appearance of the young man just now, couldn't help but smile slightly.

Su Lang got up and said goodbye with a smile: "Then at the end of tomorrow, Su will prepare his horse and wait for Young Master Ye in the south of the city."

After hearing this, Ye Xinghui's face suddenly turned red, he was a little embarrassed, and said cautiously: "No need... I, I will ride a donkey."

Su Lang was stunned for a moment, at this moment, Ye Xinghui's hard-fought display of Lishan's charisma completely collapsed in Su Lang's heart.
