No matter what happens under the northern sky, for the ordinary people of Chang'an, it is a very distant thing. It has been so long since the dull days, and the smoke of war has not been seen for many years.

The scholars who care about the current situation and worry about the world are different, they are well-informed, and any wind and grass can reach their ears from various channels and become the focus of discussion.

In the Fanxue Building in Green Willow Lane, there are still many guests today. Whether it is a private seat or a hall, the people who drink tea and chat are leisurely.

In just half a year, Fan Xuelou has opened five branches in Chang'an City. Needless to say, if the business is good. Moreover, according to rumors, behind this store number, there is a great origin.

As for the specific source, those who secretly know naturally will not say much, and those who don't know, but now no one dares to come here to make trouble.

Previously, it was not without some people in the market who saw such a boom and once had the idea of this teahouse.

The proprietress was a beautiful woman, and there was a young girl who was about to grow into a cardamom fledgling flower, and there were only five or six right-hand men under her hands, so it was still very easy to inquire about these materials.

So, with some bad thoughts, there were prodigal sons and gentlemen who took the opportunity to make trouble a few times. But it's very strange, as long as it's someone who has come to make trouble, no one has seen it again, and it disappeared in Chang'an City for some reason.

When the search failed, and the children of the family and the fox friends went to the Chang'an Mansion to report the case, the Chang'an Ling, who was known as the "Sunny Day", after asking the cause and effect clearly, smiled coldly, and ordered his subordinates to beat him out with sticks.

Don't even care about Ji Di? This is too unreasonable, the "strong order" should be jealous and hateful!

Shortly thereafter, a piece of news began to spread among the ranger boys in Chang'an and nearby counties, that place called Fan Xuelou was hiding a little, and he couldn't afford to provoke it! Because someone recognized that there were palace masters guarding in plainclothes all around!

Only then did someone notice the inconspicuous wooden sign next to the door of the building, "Imperial Tribute Tea" is really not casually said, it seems that the relationship behind this is not trivial! Thinking of those who disappeared before, it was creepy and clean.

At this time, it was the beginning of the new tea in the south, and the light fragrance inside and outside the Fanxue Building was dense, and there were white-clothed scholars who exclaimed the words and criticized the current affairs. There is a gray-haired old man with a relaxed attitude and a comfortable tea drink. There are Jianghu people who have lost their swords to stop and rest, and there are merchants from the north and south who have a ...... to talk here.

Scribes and scholars often care a lot about the affairs of the imperial court, and in the corner of the window, there are five or six people who look like they are reading.

"Brother Zhao's remarks are very subtle, and when the younger brother heard it, he suddenly opened his mouth. In this way, we and other readers will definitely be of great use in the next step! ”

The younger scholar had a look of admiration on his face, looking at the white-clothed guest talking eloquently opposite, and the rest of them also listened very seriously.

"Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, it has become more and more prosperous, and the elites and elites who control the government have been too stiff in their brains, and they have even reached the point of self-sufficiency. The atmosphere of the imperial court's desire for change is already very obvious, and from the fact that the position of Zaifu has not been decided for a long time, it can be seen that the Sacred Heart has been dissatisfied with the current several important ministers for a long time. Previously, through the imperial examination of Cilinyuan, young and promising people were selected, and they were waiting for the Golden Horse Gate, which is to reserve talents for the changes in the court that will be launched in the near future. ”

"It's worth looking forward to! If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for a poor family to take the position? ”

The eyes of the person who took over the conversation lit up and his expression was excited.

"Huh! You can take a look at the young talents selected by the emperor personally this time, Yan Zhu, Sima Xiangru, and the final army ....... None of their origins and family backgrounds are from the children of high-ranking and powerful families. That's pretty telling. ”

"As long as you have real talent and learning, are you still worried that you will not get ahead? Although today's son is young, he has already revealed the spirit of Mingjun, meritocracy, and tolerance. All of you are familiar with the scriptures, you should work hard and show what you have learned in your chest only today! ”

A few people said excitedly, and their voices were high, which inevitably disturbed the tranquility of the surrounding atmosphere, and a young man with a look of hurried dust on his face put the sword on his back on the case, and snorted lightly at the corner of his mouth.

"What is the use of a scholar! If you can't hold a sword or run a horse, can you resist the Huns? ”

Although his voice was low, everyone around him heard it, and several scholars turned their heads. Seeing that the young man seemed to be thirsty, he raised the teacup in his hand and drank it all, chewing and eating even a few tea leaves in his mouth.

Everyone despises in their hearts, how can there be such a tea drink, such a cow drink, at first glance, it is a soil bun from the countryside.

The man in white named Zhao Xu was very cultivated, and when he heard this person say this, he just smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, signaled to the same seat to be calm for a while, and then arched his hand.

"This brother looks dressed up, he should be a chivalrous man who walks the rivers and lakes. What you said, of course, is not unreasonable, to resist foreign captives and protect the frontier, it is naturally the Han soldiers who rely on it. But it cannot be said that scholars are useless. Don't talk about him from afar, let's just say that Zhang Liang, the marquis of this dynasty, is also a scribe who has no power to tie the chicken, but he strategizes to win a thousand miles, and one person can reach 100,000 soldiers! But who would dare to say that he is useless? ”

Zhao Xu is a well-read person, and he is clear about the deeds of the previous generations in history, and at this time, it is reasonable and well-founded, and he has to be convinced. But when the man heard him say this, he was not convinced.

"You and I are two different things! Although a certain family is a martial artist, I have also heard that although Naliuhou does not know martial arts, he is a chivalrous and courageous person. Regardless of life and death, Pailishi held an iron cone, and Bo Lang hit Qin Shi Huang, this is the person of my generation! How can you classify him among you scholars? ”

Hearing that this person was so stubborn, several arrogant scholars in the audience who had been patient for a long time wanted to stand up and reason with him.

"You don't have to argue, no matter what the status of the predecessors and martyrs, those great achievements, they are all existences that need our admiration. It's just a pity that there are no such people in the world now! ”

Zhao Xu sighed and returned to his seat, took a sip of tea, and his face was embarrassed.

"Not necessarily! In Chang'an, haven't you heard the latest news from the front line in northern Xinjiang? ”

The young ranger asked a little strangely.

"The army is defeated, and the success is short, so why say more!"

When Zhao Xu heard him ask, his face changed slightly, and he was a little gloomy. The rest of the people also sighed, it seemed that they already knew about it.

"Who asked about it! I'm talking about the young Changle Hou, ah, it's him, the empty city set up strange plans, three arrows to retreat from the strong enemy, beheaded the king of Zuoxian, and burned the Hun army! Ha ha! In just a few days, the name has already spread all over the world. Such a character, given time, can't he compare to that Liuhou! ”

Speaking of this, I saw this person's eyebrows fluttering, full of admiration, but from the heart.

It turned out that these days, with the continuous transmission of military newspapers, the "shooting wolf" operation that had been kept secret in the early stage was finally revealed to the world. The defeat of the Han army made all the people of insight sigh. The more than 300,000 elites led by five famous generals in the army did not make an inch, and ended in a gloomy end. And the fact that the young Hou Ye has done so many shocking things on his own is even more amazing.

This young knight's name is Zhou Xing, and he is a son of a Central Plains martial arts family. Since the fall of the Liuyun Gang, the name of Changle Hou Yuanzhao has already spread among the people in the rivers and lakes. Although there are still many people who are not convinced, some time ago, when the imperial court was on the cusp of cracking down on gangs in the rivers and lakes, no one dared to come to Chang'an to challenge him.

After a few months of precipitation, the rivers and lakes that have finally avoided the limelight are a little ready to move. Of course, in addition to some of the remnants of the Liuyun Gang who are ready to take revenge, there are also those who just want to simply come and learn about it. After all, if you don't see it with your own eyes, most people in the rivers and lakes are still a little skeptical about the legend of "a sword shaking the snowfield".

Zhou Xing is one of them. But just when he was full of confidence and ready to leave for Chang'an to compete with this little marquis. I heard even more shocking news about him.

So, he hurried up and came to Chang'an at a faster speed, came to Fanxue Tower, waiting, waiting for the return of the little marquis.

However, the purpose is no longer a challenge, but a sincere desire to know and meet, such a legendary figure is worthy of chivalrous people bowing their heads.

Zhou Xing didn't know that there were many people who were in the same mood as him, and they were ...... on the way to Chang'an at this time.

But when he said the above words with passion, he thought that these scholars would feel the same way, but he saw that they just shook their heads and sighed, with complicated emotions in their eyes.

"That Changle Marquis...... Of course, we have heard about what he did. Although that kid is wise and brave, he is just a person who does things with courage, and if he doesn't follow the laws and regulations and doesn't care about the overall situation, it will be difficult to achieve anything big after all. ”

Zhou Xing didn't expect them to comment on Yuan Zhao like this, and the unhappiness in his heart turned into some annoyance. Snorted coldly, he is a martial artist, and he has the heart to get up and teach them a lesson, so that these scholars can know how it is difficult for brave people to become great weapons, but after thinking about it, it is easy to teach them a lesson, but he will have to run away immediately, in that case, it is not easy to wait until now, and the little marquis who will not see him and will come back will not be able to gain more than he gains.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger, just drank tea and rested, and no longer cared about these people.

Perhaps seeing his displeasure, Zhao Xu smiled faintly, but he no longer took the initiative to answer, but just turned around and talked to his companions.

"These brave men are just making some contributions in the battle array, and they want to rule the world...... I still need my generation! ”

"Yes, yes! I heard that the little marquis had done a lot of things that were beneficial to the people, and he was a young man, but I didn't expect that this time he was so confused that he dared to humiliate Lord Tingwei in public, which is a big crime on behalf of my Han law...... I'm afraid that even the Empress Dowager Dou won't be able to speak for him! Alas, what a young and ignorant man! ”

whispered, with endless regret for the young Hou Ye named Yuan Zhao. Zhou Xing couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard it in his ears, could it be ...... Changle Hou, who has made great contributions, will he really be questioned when he returns to Chang'an?

The person who has such a question is not only him, but also related and irrelevant, and there are many people who are asking the same question.

On the railing on the second floor of Fan Xue Building, Su Lingzhi had already asked the master father who had just come back yesterday more than a dozen times. Although he always smiled and said that Yuan Zhao would be fine, this was just a deliberate move by that kid, but her heart was still unsteady. A pair of wonderful eyes stared at the movement at the mouth of the green willow alley, perhaps, only when Yuan Zhao's figure really appeared there, she would be completely relieved.

At the same time, in the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Liu Che finished today's chapter review, and returned to Mrs. Jianzhang Gongwei a little tiredly, seeing her face full of joy, knowing that she had learned the news that her daughter was about to return unharmed.

“…… That kid, who is both shrewd and slippery, has a problem for me this time! ”

The young genius, who had already accepted the failure of the big operation he planned for the first time, lay in the gentle township, rubbed his forehead helplessly, and said with a wry smile.
