While talking like this, the three of them had already arrived at the main courtyard of Tianlan Temple. This is a fairly large courtyard, but the furnishings in it are very simple, only some ordinary wooden chairs and desks, but they are very elaborately placed. Originally, this place was almost abandoned because there were few visitors to Tianlan Courtyard in recent years, but later Su Changan took the name of the Star King at the Star Society, so the number of visitors gradually increased.

Fan Ruyue felt that it was a little inappropriate to always receive these guests in her residence, so she cleaned up the place, although it was not very magnificent, but it was still decent after all.

After the guests took their seats, the three of them exchanged pleasantries again. Although Su Changan is not good at words, Xiahou Xuan is indeed an extremely talkative person, and he has traveled to many places in his early years, so when he tells these things one by one, Su Changan listens to them interestingly, but he does not feel bored and unbearable at all.

"By the way, Senior Sister, are you going back this time?" asked Su Changan.

Xiahou Shuyu was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "In a few days, it will be my father's birthday, and my fifth brother and I are actually here this time to invite my junior brother to represent Tianlan Academy to participate in this birthday banquet at that time." ”

"Oh. Su Changan nodded, but he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but he thought about it and asked, "Do you have to participate?"

He didn't like banquets like this, and he had to deal with a lot of people he didn't know in that kind of place, and he was resistant to that from the bottom of his heart.

"En" Xiahou Shuyu muttered slightly before he said: "It is not necessary to participate, but according to the convention, on the father's birthday, the academy of Chang'an City, regardless of the ranking, will send some people to participate and send some congratulatory gifts to show respect." ”

"And" Speaking of this, Xiahou Shuyu glanced at Su Changan with some uneasiness, and saw that his expression was impermanent, before he continued: "Fifth brother and I hope that junior brother you can do us a favor." ”

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, he was happy to help Xiahou Shuyu, but he didn't understand why when he said this sentence again, Xiahou Shuyu and Xiahou Xuan's faces became embarrassed, as if they were a little difficult to speak.

"Senior sister, what do you want me to help with?" Su Changan said, he didn't want to see Xiahou Shuyu so embarrassed, so he secretly told himself in his heart that if he could do it, he would do his best.

"Great Wei has always attached great importance to monks, and every time his father's birthday, some competitions will be held at the banquet according to the custom. Such competitions are usually selected by the three dukes or princes to select some outstanding cadets from various academies, or young non-commissioned officers."

"This time, the eldest brother found some geniuses and demons in various academies, and even co-opted Bei Tongxuan, the general of Xiliang who was ordered to be transferred back to the capital some time ago, but the fifth brother's side is weak, I'm afraid"

When Su Changan heard this, he roughly understood what Xiahou Shuyu meant. But he was a little puzzled, and he asked, "Then who is Beitongxuan?" I heard a few days ago that the Xiliang Border Fortress is in an emergency, why would the Holy Emperor transfer the generals there back to the capital at this time?"

"Dividing the star list into three lists: people, earth, and heaven, Beitong Xuan is the master who ranks eighty-seventh on the star list and the heavenly list, and they are students of the same academy as Chu seniors, although they are not as good as them, but in this young generation, they can also be regarded as masters. As for why my father sent him back to Beijing, I don't know much. ”

Su Changan nodded, he probably understood the purpose of Xiahou Shuyu's trip.

He thought for a moment and said, "I only have the Spirit Gathering Realm. If that Beitong Xuan is only around the Fanchen Realm, I can do it."

"Oh my God. Beitong Xuan cultivated half a year ago, and it has been heard by heaven. Xiahou Shuyu said.

Su Changan was puzzled, he felt that Xiahou Shuyu would definitely not put him in danger, but if he was allowed to fight Shangbei Tongxuan, he would definitely have no chance of winning. So he couldn't understand why Xiahou Shuyu would make such a request.

As if seeing his doubts, Xiahou Shuyu glanced at him, and said: "Beitongxuan, we have already found someone to deal with, and you are looking for junior brother to make a move, in order to deal with the masters from other academies." ”

"That's right. Su Changan nodded, and agreed very happily, although he didn't like to fight and kill, but for the sake of Xiahou Shuyu, it would be harmless to fight with others for a few times.

Seeing that Su Changan agreed so readily, Xiahou Shuyu's face did not become happy because of this, but became preoccupied.

The Holy Emperor was getting older, though he still looked like he was full of energy. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is dying, and he has lived too long and too long.

Therefore, the power struggle between the eldest prince and the fifth prince also began to intensify.

The battle on the Holy Emperor's birthday, on the surface, was a comparison of the masters under the princes. But in fact, it is the behemoths that stand behind these people. This contest is not so much a contest of individual strength, but it is better to say that before the eldest prince and the fifth prince completely tear their faces, the forces of all parties stand in line.

And Xiahou Shuyu dragged Su Changan and the Tianlan Courtyard behind him into this quagmire at this time, and everyone was happy, but once he lost, it would be a fatal disaster.

Therefore, Xiahou Shuyu's heart inevitably gave birth to an uncontrollable guilt.

But Su Changan didn't understand this, he just wanted to help his senior sister, and Xiahou Shuyu's performance at the moment fell in his eyes, and he subconsciously thought that Xiahou Shuyu was watching out for his safety in that competition.

"Senior sister, you don't have to worry, it's just a fight, I won't be rash. Su Changan comforted.

But such words made Xiahou Shuyu more and more sad, and when she was almost about to tell Su Changan the truth, she met Xiahou Xuan's eyes. She hesitated for a while, but finally dismissed such thoughts.

"Master Su, I can't hide it, I have a reluctant invitation to come this time. At this time, Xiahou Xuan said with a smile on his face.

"En?" Su Changan had a good impression of his senior sister's brother, so he immediately asked, "What does the fifth prince have, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"How is Ruyue lately?" The smile on Xiahou Xuan's face suddenly converged, and he became a little apprehensive.

Su Changan was stunned again, and then remembered the rumor that he had heard earlier that the five princes admired Fan Ruyue. Although Ruyue had already expressed to him that she was willing to follow the five princes with the five, it should be okay to meet each other. And in this Tianlan Courtyard, if Ruyue is really unwilling, how can Su Changan protect her thoroughly, not to mention that judging from this Xiahou Xuan's current performance, he doesn't look like a person who can be strong. So he nodded and said, "I'll call her." ”

"No, I don't. Xiahou Xuan hurriedly stopped Su Changan, who was about to leave, and said, "Young Master Su, don't hide it. Earlier, when Xuan saw Miss Ruyue for the first time, he was shocked, and he thought about redeeming her. But my father felt that Miss Ruyue was from a humble background, and after being a rebel, she insulted the royal prestige, so he imprisoned me in the palace. ”

"Now that I think about it, Miss Ruyue must be very disappointed in me, and Xuan has no face to face her, what Xuan asks for is just to know whether she is happy or not, and she is already content. ”

Xiahou Xuan's words were sincere, which made Su Changan's heart tremble, although he was still a little dissatisfied with the fifth prince throwing Ruyue in the Peony Pavilion at the beginning, but how could things in the world be as good as he wanted?

So after thinking about it, he said: "Don't worry, the fifth prince, in this Tianlan Courtyard, no one can bully her, and I will explain to her the five princes' hardships when I have free time." I believe that with Ruyue's temperament, she will definitely understand the five princes. ”

"Yes. Although the fifth prince was still frowning, after receiving Su Changan's affirmative answer, the worry in his heart fell.
