Su Ci gave Duan Chengzhang a fast horse and went north to Kyoto under the rain.

Several of his friends didn't quite understand Su Ci's approach, but none of them stopped him.

Looking at Duan Chengzhang, who was gradually disappearing, Mu Liangyun asked softly, "It doesn't make much sense to do this, why do you want to let him go?"

Su Ci smiled: "I said it, because he loves his son very much, I was moved." ”

There seemed to be many crows flying over the rainy sky, and then there was a quacking sound.

A few people gave him a blank look, and Su Ci looked at the young man in Tsing Yi beside him, who was still holding an umbrella.

Su Ci said: "Thank you for this big umbrella." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi said indifferently: "You're welcome." ”

Su Ci said: "Why do you want to come to hold an umbrella." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi looked at him calmly and said, "Because it's going to rain, you are my little uncle." ”

This reason seemed to be very sufficient, Su Ci stared at the young man's delicate cheeks, whether it was his expression or his eyes, there was not the slightest admiration for the Su Ci in his mouth.

"That's all?"

The young man in Tsing Yi said sincerely: "I still want to watch the play." ”

Su Ci smiled and asked, "Make a friend?"

The young man in Tsing Yi was slightly silent, his eyes looked at Su Ci's black and white eyes, and after a long while, he said slowly: "Okay." ”

There was no joy in his tone, and his face was still flat and calm.

Duan Ming, who was looking at this scene, couldn't help but look at Xiang Yang Xiao and said, "This guy is even more excessive than you." ”

Yang Xiao still held the bow in his hand and said, "I'm too much there, is it because your ability to tell jokes is too bad, I'm going to laugh at you?"

Duan Ming felt that he shouldn't have asked this sentence.

Su Ci asked, "Do you know who I am, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

The young man in Tsing Yi was silent for a while, and even Su Ci felt a little tired of talking to such a person, so he said slowly: "My surname is Xiang." ”

"My name is Evening Wind. ”

"It's you?!" Duan Ming looked at the young man in Tsing Yi in surprise at the evening breeze.

Su Ci was also a little surprised, and everyone stared at Xiang Wanfeng in unison.

Mu Liangyun said: "You are the genius boy who was recommended to enter Beijing by the Nanhai Yiye Xuegong Gongzheng, saying that you passed the nine aggregates overnight and entered the first line in three days?"

To practice the Qi of Haoran, the first thing you need is to cultivate the Qi of Haoran in your heart, and this process is called the Qi of Accumulation, and there are nine folds, so it becomes the Nine Aggregates.

The young man in Tsing Yi looked at him with a bit of concern in his eyes.

"That's me," he said calmly.

Mu Men complained: "Talking so slowly, can you practice so fast?"

Xiang Wanfeng looked at him and said, "Of course it's not so fast, I was practicing until I was fourteen years old, and now I'm just entering the realm of the first practice," Speaking of this, he looked at Su Ci and said, "Compared to Uncle Xiao, I have to learn more." ”

Xiang Wanfeng is not only famous, he has already become famous at a young age.

He was born in the Xiang clan in Jiangnan, and he is the only grandson of the old lady Xiang's favorite, and he is famous for his strong memory and the fact that he composed music on the bank of the Shimen River when he was nine years old.

Su Ci looked at the burden on his shoulders and asked, "So you chose to go to Kyoto?"

Xiang Bangfeng nodded and said, "The entrance examination of Huaixi Academy is about to begin. ”

Su Zi was slightly suspicious, and Yang Xiao asked, "Aren't you going to enter the Xilin Academy Palace directly, why do you want to take Huaixi's entrance exam?"

He was recommended by the Yiye School Palace, and he was still the only grandson of the Xiang family, and the future head of the Xiang family, even His Majesty the Emperor would also give him some privileges, and it was naturally easy to enter the Xilin School Palace, not to mention that he still entered by virtue of his strength.

Waisai College is a subordinate college of Xilin in Kyoto, and for most people, if you want to enter Xilin, you must first enter Huaixi.

Mu Liangyun said: "Are you afraid that others will say that you rely on your family strength?"

Xiang Wanfeng shook his head very little, and said calmly: "I want to go into Waixi to see." ”

"See?" Duan Ming was puzzled, "What are you looking at?"

Xiang Wanfeng said: "I heard that one academy in Huaixi can reach a school palace in the south, so I want to go and have a look." ”

His tone was still calm, without the slightest momentum at all, just a completely weak scholar.

This slow-talking, indifferent person would say such a thing, which surprised them all.

Just like just now.

Between the green mountains, a hundred arrows were fired in a volley, and he could still position himself as a playmaker, and he also took out a cup of soy milk by himself, drinking and watching it while drinking.

If you are a bystander, seeing such a scene, I am afraid that you will have disappeared a long time ago.

And the umbrella in his hand should also be a magic weapon.

This young man is Da Lin Tianjiao, different from him, although he was also jointly recommended all the way, but his reputation is only limited to Luoyun, unlike these people, who have already spread all over Da Lin at a few years old.

"I wish you success," Su Ci said from the heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao. ”

Su Ci said: "Do you need a horse?"

Although he knew very well that this guy would not be short of money, he still asked him very kindly.

Xiang Wanfeng said: "Thank you, Uncle Xiao, the reason why I am in Kyoto so early is to see the scenery along the way." ”

It's only a few hundred miles from Kyoto, and Duan Ming was surprised and asked, "How long have you been walking?"

Xiang Wanfeng said: "One month and twenty-seven days. ”

He looked right.

Su Ci smiled and said, "Okay, if you go to Kyoto and see your eldest gentleman, remember to help me say hello to him." ”

When Xiang Wanfeng heard this, there was silence again, and he slowly spoke: "Okay, little uncle." ”

Su Ci said: "We all have something, so I won't chat with you, you can enjoy the scenery slowly." ”

"Okay. ”

Su Ci and a few people got on the horse, and Xiang Wanfeng stood there motionless, as if he was watching them, but there was not much enthusiasm between his eyes, and there was no dull color.

"Uncle Junior," he shouted abruptly.

Su Ci turned his head to look at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xiang Wanfeng said: "Isn't Duan Xinghong really killed by you?"

Duan Ming asked rhetorically, "Are you having bad ears or are you using your head?"

Mu Liangyun coughed twice, and Duan Mingcai snorted twice and stopped talking.

Su Ci asked, "What do you think?"

Xiang Wanfeng bowed his head and thought about it, until Yang Xiao in front of him said, "Let's go." ”

Xiang Wanfeng behind him replied: "I hope not." ”

He wasn't sure, he just hoped it wasn't Su Ancestral Hall.

Su Ci didn't answer him, and rode away.

The four fast horses galloped forward, and the voice of the evening breeze came from behind them again: "Will the Holy Master still accept apprentices?"

This was the loudest voice he had ever made, but it was still not much, even Duan Ming's scolding just now was louder than this, but his face seemed to be red because of these words.

Su Ci heard it, but didn't answer.

Mu Men said: "On the first day of returning to Jiangnan, I think he has a problem with his brain. ”

Although Mu Liangyun felt that this was wrong, he still couldn't help but want to laugh and said, "People are more famous than you." ”

Mu Men was speechless, because it was true.

He snorted and said, "I have some family wealth, if I want to have a family business as big as his family, I will definitely be more famous than Wen Junze now." ”

Duan Ming snorted and said, "I told you a long time ago, bragging has to be drafted first, and saying it like you is too much like a fool." ”

The group talked and laughed, and from time to time there was the pleasant laughter of the deer to adjust the atmosphere.

The next day, Su Ci received a letter from Duan Chengzhang, which told him that although Li Zhaoyun left him, he didn't trust him and just asked him to deal with some simple documents.

On the third day, Su Ci and a few people crossed the South Ridge and completely entered the southern boundary.

On the fifth day, Su Ci entered the territory of Zhaonan Prefecture, and the state priest personally led the officials to meet him and wash the dust for him, but Su Ci refused under the pretext of hurrying.

On the seventh day and night, they entered the city of Luoyun.

Su's home is not in the city, but in a village called Chacun, seven miles outside the county seat.

Since entering Zhaonan Prefecture, they have often been able to hear various voices discussing the Su Temple, and these voices are full of pride.

More than 70 years after the founding of the country, Zhaonan Prefecture belongs to the southern frontier state, the population is sparse, and there are many races living here, such as the Qiang people, the barbarian race, which does not like to learn Chinese.

For decades, Zhaonan Prefecture has failed to meet the standards in terms of sending talents to the imperial court every year, and for decades, Zhaonan Prefecture has never produced a champion.

Now, Su Ci once became a disciple of the Holy Master, and as his hometown, he naturally benefited a lot.

Originally, Su Ci planned to go home overnight, although Duan Ming and a few people shouted to go into the county town to eat something before leaving, Su Ci did not agree, until Lu'er was persuaded by Mu Liangyun and a few.

Su Ci chose to enter the county seat.

Half a year ago, he was still studying at the Baizi Academy in the county town, so he was naturally very familiar with this place.

Because there are many people who know him, several people also enter the city after dressing up in disguise.

He chose a restaurant, gave Duan Ming a few orders, and finally looked at the menu himself and asked Xiao Er to make up a boiling cabbage.

Several of them knew that Su Ci liked to eat boiled cabbage very much, although they didn't understand what it tasted like.

"I heard that Mr. Su is going to enter the city tomorrow, and the county keeper will also follow the example of the county magistrate to lead the county officials to greet him, and he will have to get up early tomorrow morning and take my son to have a look, maybe he will be admitted to Yuyuan College next year and become Mr. Su's classmate," a middle-aged man at the next table said with a smile.

The man sitting with him said: "Yes, I will go tomorrow, Mr. Su is from our Luoyun County, I respect my father with Mr. Su is an old acquaintance, I will see Mr. Su tomorrow, I will ask him to give my daughter a sub-word, and at that time my daughter will definitely be able to enter the abyss." ”

Hearing this, Su Ci couldn't help but glance at this uncle with a scumbag face, he didn't know it at all.

"You just blow it, and... I also know Mr. Su's honorable father..."

Before he finished speaking, a one-eyed man at another table came up and said, "Don't think about it, just yesterday, I heard that someone attacked Su Mansion, and Mr. Su came back this time to take his parents to Kyoto, and now Mr. Su has time to come to the county seat." ”

Several people's eyes rolled around, and Su Ci's face was calm.

"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other," the beggar who had been nesting in the corner suddenly stretched out his waist while holding a wine bottle and said: "Mr. Su offended Kong Ling, the head of Qianbai, and the Kong Ling family was beheaded, and he thought that he hated Mr. Su's family to the core. ”

Su Ci pulled his hat and looked at the tattered beggar.

The people in the restaurant were dumbfounded one by one, and the beggar continued: "Last night, Su Mansion was besieged by a group of cultivators, and the sand gangs in the city all passed, and then the county guard also rushed to the tea village with a large number of people, and now Su Mansion has become a ruin. ”

As he spoke, he lifted the bottle again and drank.

Mu Liangyun looked at Su Temple nervously.

Su Ci suddenly got up and walked towards the beggar.
