Su Huai accidentally saw Jing Chen who had gone to Beijing to catch the exam in the Prince Ning's Mansion. He was dressed in the clothes of a retainer, and he looked much lighter than before, but he was in good spirits.

"Jingchen? Long time no see." Su Huai was a little surprised.

"It turned out to be a benefactor." Jing Chen took a few steps to greet him, and when he saw Queen Ning, he saluted politely: "I have seen the Lord."

"You came just in time, Su Huai, you have met, this is Yue Shen, my second senior brother, tomorrow we will set off for Minghe Academy together." After Ning Wang finished speaking to Jing Chen, he turned his head and explained to the two of them: "Jing Chen Chen is the candidate for this imperial examination, but he is young and straightforward, he offended several high-ranking officials in the capital, was framed and almost died, I was soft-hearted, so I asked him to go to the palace and become a retainer."

"Where's that boy of yours?" Su Huai remembered that Jing Chen was always accompanied by an eloquent boy.He has a soft temper, but that boy seems to be more understanding of the world on weekdays.

"After I won Tanhua, I ordered him to go back to my hometown to report the news." Jing Chen replied.

"Don't worry, he lives with me, can he still lack servants?" King Ning put one hand on Jing Chen's shoulder, looking like a good brother.

Jing Chen's previous calm was gone, like a frightened rabbit, he came out from under King Ning's arm tremblingly, and said in his mouth: "Prince Ning treats me very well, benefactor don't worry."

"Brother Huai!" Su Tong ran over from the backyard: "I agreed to come back soon, but you have been away for more than a month. You miss me so much."

"The plan can't keep up with the changes." Su Huai coaxed: "I heard His Highness Ning Wang said that you are quite talented in business, and I will leave the hot pot restaurant to you in the future."

After all, Su Tong is a teenager at heart, and he raised his tail when he was praised: "Don't worry, in two years, hot pot will definitely become a household name in the capital."

After he was satisfied, Su Tong said seriously: "By the way, Brother Huai, I have earned a lot of money in the past two months. If you are going to travel far away, there must be a lot of places to use the money. I will give it to you tomorrow morning."

"No, I have enough taels of silver on me, but when did I get enough 2 taels, remember to return it to the creditor next to me." Su Huai said half-jokingly, pointing at Yue Shen.

"There's no need to pay back the money, I'll go to the store to eat some other day." Yue Chen waved his hand.

"Hahaha, then you come here all the time, but you still have to eat for a long time." Su Tong only thought that he was joking, and laughed along with him.

Following King Ning on the same road, there was no need to continue riding horses. Four horses pulled a spacious carriage and ran fast and steadily on the official road.Tea and snacks were also carried in the carriage.

Sitting in the car, Su Huai eats elegantly, but at a very fast speed. With a few words, the snacks are reduced by half.

"Why, isn't the second senior brother giving you food at Tianjianmen?" Ning Wang jokingly picked up the mung bean cake and took a small bite slowly. rarely eat.It was the first time I saw Su Huai's dim sum can be eaten as a meal.

Su Huai swallowed the pastry in her mouth: "No, it's delicious to cook with Uncle, but it's a bit bland. I'm a greedy person, and I especially like sweets."

"This is different from the senior brother. The taste of the senior brother is extremely bland. If the taste is slightly salty and sweet, he will frown. Later, Uncle Yu made him a side dish of porridge alone. "Yan Tianrui shook his head and sighed, with nostalgia in his eyes.It can be seen that he still misses this elder brother very much.

"Isn't the benefactor the Lord's senior brother?" Jing Chen asked with some doubts: "Then why is this trip representing Tianjianmen to celebrate Mr. Guan's birthday?"

Yue Shen looked at Jing Chen warily.

Yan Tianrui explained for Jing Chen without hesitation: "Don't worry, I can still trust Jing Chen. Before he came to the palace, I asked my second brother to help me check his family tree. The family is a scholarly family. Qingqing In vain, it has nothing to do with Jiang Hu."

Then he said to Jing Chen: "It's complicated to say, you simply think that my senior brother is gone. Su Huai and senior brother look the same, so they were hired as a substitute."

"So the benefactor really doesn't know martial arts." Jing Chen looked at Su Huai.

"Ah, I didn't know it before, but now I learned a little bit from Yue Chen." Su Huai replied vaguely, stuffing her snacks.

Jing Chen didn't think too much, he just learned some self-defense fists and feet.

Although Minghe Academy is built in the mountains, it is not as far away from the world as Tianjianmen.Minghe Academy is not far from Yangzhou City down the mountain, and the mountain is not steep. Ordinary people can reach the top of the mountain after walking for an hour or two.

Tomorrow is Guan Shanchang's birthday, today's mountain road is extremely lively, there are not only young heroes from various sects, but also many dignitaries near Yangzhou City, and even some literati who know Guan Yi.

Su Huai and his party got off the carriage at the foot of the mountain, Yan Tianrui left most of his entourage behind, and only brought Jing Chen and two guards up the mountain.

It was Liang Shujin who was in charge of welcoming him at the gate of the academy.Su Tang and a few young men and women whom Su Huai hadn't seen much were also helping.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, Master Su, Mr. Yue, please stay safe." Liang Shujin saw Su Huai and his party, and hurried up to meet him.

Su Huai's acting skills were on the line in a second, and the corners of her lips raised slightly, giving Liang Shujin a cold but sincere smile, and said birthday wishes, and gave away the gift that Yue Shen handed over.

Liang Shujin was stunned for a moment, feeling that Su Huai was quite different from what he had seen before: "Master Su looks a little different from the previous days."

"Thank you for your concern. Something went wrong in my practice the day before yesterday, but it's all right now." Su Huai said lightly.

"It's good to have nothing to do." Liang Shujin nodded, believing Su Huai's statement. After all, compared with before, the current Su Huai is closer to the memory: "I have always been thinking about competing with the head of Su, and waiting for my teacher The birthday banquet is over, if Sect Leader Su is fine, can you give Liang some advice?"

"It's easy to talk about." Upon hearing the contest, Su Huai almost couldn't hold back the smirk on his face.Liang Shujin is as famous a master as Su Huai, even if he is not stronger than Yue Shen, he will not be much worse.This martial arts competition is incomparable.

"The guest room is ready, you guys have a good rest tonight. I have something to do and I can't leave, let Su Tang take you in." Liang Shujin called Su Tang over and signaled her to lead the way for Su Huai and his party.

The guest rooms are uniformly placed in a larger courtyard, Su Huai and Yue Shen share one room, Su Huai is on the inside, Yue Shen is on the outside, separated by a screen in the middle.King Ning's is a suite, he lives alone in the inner side, Jing Chen lives in the side room, and two guards are in the outer room, the arrangements are very thoughtful. ,

"Dinner is already being prepared. Later, disciples will take you to the dining hall for dinner. You rest first, and you can tell the disciples in the courtyard what you need." After the arrangement, Sutang smiled sweetly at everyone, and bowed , ready to leave.

"Cousin, I heard that we live next door to the beauty of Peach Blossom Pavilion, what a chance!" A slightly obscene laughter came from not far away, and it sounded a little familiar.

"You don't have time to look at women, why don't you study your own sword skills." Another voice said a little harshly.

Before Su Huai could remember who it was, Sutang had already hopped over: "Who am I? It turned out to be the hero Zhang of the Four Seas League. What's so good about the beauties in Taohuaxie? How about I wrestle your wrists with you?"

Su Huai remembered when she heard Zhang Daxia, the owner of the voice was Zhang Jian of the Universal Alliance, and the one who taught him should be his brother He Lianjue.

"Wow, why are you here too!" Zhang Jian seemed to be taken aback by the sudden appearance of Sutang.

"My master celebrates his birthday, of course I'm here. It's you..." Sutang looked at Zhang Jian with some disgust: "Is there no one in the Four Seas League? Why did you send a guy like you here?"

"I came to celebrate my birthday with my cousin, are you polite, little girl!" Zhang Jian said angrily.

Not to be outdone, Sutang said, "I am polite to polite people, but to people like you, hmph, if it wasn't for the sake of the Four Seas League, I would throw you out right now."

"Sutang, don't be rude." A white-haired old man walked into the yard briskly.

"Master." Sutang put away her ferocious appearance, and obediently shrank behind the old man.

"This is Guanyi?" Su Huai asked Yue Shen in a low voice.

Yue Shen nodded: "Let's go, Sect Master, let's pay our respects too."

Guan Yi looked at He Lianjue: "Young man is simple-minded, don't blame Helian Shaoxia and Zhang Shaoxia."

"Guanshan's long words are serious." He Lianjue cupped his hands.

Su Huai thought to herself: This is an interesting view of the old man.Just saying that Sutang is innocent, the implication is that Sutang did not say anything wrong, but the words were more straightforward.It was obviously an apology, but secretly it seemed to be supporting Sutang, but because of his seniority, no one else dared to say anything wrong.

Tucao is back to Tucao, the etiquette that should be done cannot be less, Su Huai walked in front of Guan Yi, and made a junior salute: "I am Su Huai, I wish Guanshan a long sun and a bright moon, Song He Changchun."

"It turned out to be the head of Su, good, good, young and promising." Guan Yi nodded to Su Huai: "After the war five years ago, Shu Jin only regarded you as a role model, and he practiced martial arts very hard. , as a master, I have to thank you very much."

"Mr. Guan, Brother Huang entrusted me to celebrate your birthday." Yan Tianrui also followed: "Brother Huang said, you must take care of your health. Your health is the blessing of this martial arts world."

Guan Yi waved his hands and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take this as Guan Mou. His Majesty Lao is thinking about me as an old man. Say hello to him for me."

He Lianjue pulled Zhang Jian to Su Huai's side, bowed and said, "Before, my unworthy younger brother was messing around in Tianjianmen, and I would like to thank the headmaster Su for his mercy."

"It's okay, young people are inevitably a little impulsive." Su Huai said indifferently.

"I didn't reveal my performance today, did I?" Su Huai asked Yue Chen and Yan Tianrui worriedly after they left.

"No, no. I didn't see it. You still have this ability. When you seriously pretend to be a senior brother, you will even confuse me." Yan Tianrui sighed.

Su Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm relieved when you say that. After insisting on tomorrow's birthday banquet, I will find a reason to escape. I must not be caught by Liang Shujin for a sword competition, and I can't beat him."

"Don't worry, before I left, I told my junior sister to send a letter later tomorrow, saying that there is something important to do at the door, and I want you to go back early. As soon as the birthday banquet is over tomorrow, we will leave immediately." Yue Shen comforted.

"Yeah, then I won't go out tonight." Su Huai made up her mind to be a cold swordsman and hide in the house, ignoring anyone.
