Sheng Linyun, Xu Shan and Han Ai stood on the lake pavilion, looking at the lake in the courtyard in a daze.

"The list will be unveiled tomorrow, and everyone can't sleep tonight" Han Ai had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the royal test was a dream come true, imagining what kind of expressions the emperor and grandfather would have when he was titled on the gold list? ’

"Why don't you two speak" Han Ai found that Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao were like old monks in a fixed state, lifeless.

"Hey!" Han Ai pushed Sheng Linyun.

"Huh? What the? Sheng Linyun and Xu Shan came to their senses

"The list will be announced tomorrow, and the two of you are also thinking about what will happen after high school, right?" Han Ai smiled wickedly.

"Uh... I'm thinking differently, the 100,000 people who came to Chang'an a few days ago were in a hurry, and the Lion Camel City was broken, and I don't know what happened to him," Sheng Linyun worried.

"I'm thinking about my students," Xu Shangao smiled.

"What, are you both so confident? I don't care about the unveiling of the list at all" Han Ai raised his eyebrows, feeling that the two people in front of him were freaks.

"Aren't you also very confident," Sheng Linyun smiled evilly.

"These days, there have been rumors about the leakage of the imperial test, what do you think, Han Ai?" Xu Shangao asked.

"Impossible!" Han Ai was very firm, with a hint of anger, "My grandfather and father have been in charge of the imperial examination for many years and have never made a mistake, how can they make a mistake in the grand imperial examination, it is really the heart of a villain." ”

Xu Shangao still wanted to say something, Sheng Linyun interjected, "It's not too early, it's time to go back to their respective homes!" ”

"Also, it's late, I should go back, you say that I live alone in the huge Han Mansion, and it's too lonely!" Han Ai shook his head, and left after exchanging with Sheng Linyun and Xu Shan, his face full of joy.

"Mr. Xu, it's better not to say it, after all, the results haven't come out yet," Sheng Linyun explained to Xu Shangao.

"Well, alas~, I'll see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After saying goodbye to each other, Sheng Linyun walked back to his room alone, and happened to bump into Thirteen Niang and Lukaka who came back from shopping.

"Linyun!" Thirteen Niang shouted from afar.

"Coming back? Why did you buy so many things~ The money that is different for you won't be spent, right? Sheng Linyun saw that Rukaka could barely hold it, and hurriedly ran up to help hold it.

Thirteen Niang scratched her head, "The list will be unveiled tomorrow, and you will also be an official, won't you have money?"

"Tomorrow? Some things are not necessarily" Sheng Linyun pursed his mouth, originally he had the chance to win, but the conversation with Mei Niang in the Bangxia Pavilion made him understand that there must be something greasy in it.

"What's wrong? You wouldn't have failed to write a good article, would you? Thirteen Niang asked.

"How, let's go! Go back to the room first, it's not early, go to bed early, tomorrow when the gong strikes, the street is crowded, and you can't be in a good state. Sheng Linyun went to Thirteen Niang's room with the messy things.

"What you have in your hands is for you!" Thirteen Niang shouted.

"Huh? It's mine? What can I lack? Sheng Linyun turned around and asked.

"Clothes! When the time comes, the title of the gold list, maybe you will have to go to the emperor's golden palace for a walk, but you must not dress better~" After Thirteen Niang finished speaking, she pushed Lukaka's back and asked him to hurry up, "If you can't take it, don't go back quickly~ stupid." ”

Sheng Linyun stood in place, looked at the size of the box in his hand, and then looked at the brown cloth of the caftan on his body, which was so dirty, that he shook his head with a wry smile, "It's time to dress up, although you know that you are poor, but you are also a mediocre person!" As he spoke, he walked towards his own house.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard where his house was located, Sheng Linyun saw an old acquaintance - Xu Jiangyuan. I saw him sitting at the door of his house, leaning against the pillar in front of the door and drinking a little wine.

Sheng Linyun paused for a moment and continued to walk forward, and just as he was about to step into the door, Xu Jiangyuan spoke.

"Don't you talk?"

Sheng Linyun didn't respond, he continued to move his steps that had stopped, and after entering the door, he didn't close the door, and after placing the objects, he walked out of the room again.

"For your brother?" Sheng Linyun was the first to speak.

"It's really tricky~" Xu Jiangyuan smiled bitterly, his voice was full of disgust, "How did you do it?" To be able to know so much? ”

"Smell! Ask! Cut! Sheng Linyun replied indifferently.

"Don't you use eyes?" Xu Jiangyuan continued to ask.

"I'm using it!" Sheng Linyun did not back down at all in his words.

"Do you see anything in me?"

"There were some before, but now I only see that you will be lectured by Mr. Xu later."

There is no difference by his side, and he can't appear weak, otherwise he will only be suppressed by the other party's momentum, of course, these need to be based on the fact that the other party will not anger himself, it is obvious that in Sheng Linyun's analysis in the past few days, Xu Jiangyuan in front of him will definitely not, because Sheng Linyun has already discovered the secret on his body.

"Anything that happens to you, don't have anything to do with Shangao in the future," he said, Xu Jiangyuan's lazy tone became domineering.

"I really make friends with Mr. Xu, don't worry!" Sheng Linyun looked down at Xu Jiangyuan on the ground, with a trace of concern on his face, and decided to turn out all the confusion buried in his heart in the past few days and ask him, "How did you know my background?" Or do you want to see who I am? ”

"Presumably you saw a flaw in the Bangxia Pavilion party, I didn't want to show up, I never even thought about coming back for the sake of the mountain!" Xu Jiangyuan took a sip of wine and wiped his mouth, "You know, how many?" Tell me about it! ”

"I'll ask you first, you haven't answered me yet," Sheng Linyun said.

"Don't worry, those are not important," Xu Jiangyuan pointed lazily at Sheng Linyun, "You answer me first." ”

"You should be a member of the imperial court" Sheng Linyun saw the other party's posture and understood that he couldn't resist, so he had to take a step back.

"Even this?" Xu Jiangyuan was about to drink, but stopped pouring wine into his mouth and looked at Sheng Linyun.

"Since I saw you in Luzhou City that day, I suspected that you had been an important member of the imperial court...", Sheng Linyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked in surprise, "That night outside the cave?" Sure enough, your light skills are very good! ”

Xu Jiangyuan continued to take a sip of wine, lowered his head and smiled, "What else?" ”

"Also, the enthusiasm of the old bustard in Bangxia Pavilion is a bit in contrast to the reception of Mr. Xu in the room later, but the person who said that it was good seemed to be arranged, I doubted that someone was deliberately promising, until I saw the Hongxia girl sitting in the room, my idea was one step closer, and the personnel in the dark department of Bangxia Pavilion actually came forward to entertain an irrelevant scholar, saying that it was because I brought it, and I didn't have such a big face."

Hearing this, Xu Jiangyuan stretched out his hand and shook his finger, "There is no bright department in Bangxia Pavilion, there is no dark department, everyone is an important part, but you are right, it was indeed I who asked her to receive my brother, you kid actually took him to a brothel, I was so angry that I wanted to beat you at that time!" ”

"That's what you led me to too" Sheng Linyun said coldly, and then continued, "Mr. Xu also said that you used to live in Chang'an and left more than ten years ago, if I guessed correctly, your departure has something to do with the succession of Emperor Zhongxiao, right?" Sheng Linyun continued.

Hearing this, Xu Jiangyuan looked up at the night sky, "Sheng Linyun!" Don't you wonder why I didn't kill you and wanted to work with you? ”

"I'm curious!" Sheng Linyun replied.

"Do you know what kind of place Bangxia Pavilion is?"

"I want to hear about it!"

"Knife man!" Xu Jiangyuan stood up, changed his previous rickety and obscene posture, and showed a tall and sharp momentum, the wind and leaves trembled, as if the surrounding bamboo leaves and breeze were clinging to him.

"Different? My brother? Sheng Linyun wondered.

"Your brother's sword-bearer is just a vain name, and I'm in charge of the sword-bearer's life!" Xu Jiangyuan took another sip of wine, and then turned the wine bottle to the grass, not only drunk or melancholy, his head sank deeply, "Scorching golden peony, Xiao Xiao's black robe; Don't smell the fragrance of chivalrous bones, and pardon the prince with a knife. Xu Jiangyuan said and touched his back, "The real peony is printed on the body!" ”

"You are the first emperor's man!"

"Hmm~"

"But you don't look like a person who is loyal to the emperor."

"None of this has anything to do with you!"

"How much more does that have to do with me? You know? ”

"As long as you enter this Chang'an City, you can get the information with the knife! Perfectly! Including that letter you wrote in Liucheng! That's why I like you. ”

Hearing this, Sheng Linyun was very surprised, it was hard to imagine what kind of existence this Bangxia Pavilion was, in the past, he simply suspected that it was just an intelligence force attached to a certain high-ranking official, but now it seems that it is not, the Bangxia Pavilion has been monitoring the entire imperial city in the dark.

"You've come to tell me so much today to cooperate with me, so you're not afraid I'll tell the secret?" Sheng Linyun came to his senses and asked solemnly.

"You're a smart person, how could you say such a stupid thing, you wouldn't say it, and who are you talking to?"

Hearing Xu Jiangyuan's words, Sheng Linyun acquiesced.

"We're working together! But at present, your actions must be at my disposal," Xu Jiangyuan said, took out a small wine bottle from his arms, opened it and sniffed it, and took a sip "As for my purpose, I can't tell you for the time being, I haven't fully trusted you yet, and if you want to wash away the grievances of the family, you will naturally be able to do it after my affairs are done!" ”

"Mei Niang said that I will definitely stay in the Bangxia Pavilion, her basis is you, and what about your basis?" Sheng Linyun asked.

"Knives!" After Xu Jiangyuan finished speaking, he raised the small wine jug high, as if looking at a lover, staggered and prepared to leave the courtyard, and did not forget to say when he left, "Pack up your things and move to Bangxia Pavilion tomorrow, there will be no name on this emperor list, and my brother will be the same!" ”

Xu Jiangyuan walked out of the courtyard, and his voice continued to come from the other side of the courtyard wall, "And that Han family ghost, you are all the same!" Bastard, this Chang'an's wine is still not as good as my old cellar, I already knew that his mother didn't reveal the emperor's list, and caused such a thing..."The voice gradually faded away, I don't know whether it was a broken mouth or a complaint, Xu Jiangyuan seemed to be scolding very quickly...

How can you be happy, the real happiness only belongs to the invited knights and prostitutes, how can anyone go to Xianyang with the frost sword on his back.

"The real peony is printed on the body..."Sheng Linyun stood in place, and came back to his senses for a long time, it turned out that the self-confidence before going down the mountain was because he was a fledgling and had no knowledge, and he had been led by the nose since he entered Chang'an, and sure enough, there was a difference between the book and the outside of the book...
