Chapter 121 Cat: Poisonous Weeds! I Want It!
After Su Changan and his companions left Siyuefang, they saw more and more people from the martial arts world on the road, and it could be said that there were many more of them than scholars.
Yan Ruyu explained that pure Jianghu people actually avoided Luoan City. The current scene was still because of the martial arts department.
Su Changan understood and looked down at Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er was still a little afraid of so many people from the martial arts world, so she held Su Chang'an's hand tightly, but still tried not to show her fear.
Seeing Su Wan'er like this, Su Chang'an smiled and said, "How about going home to eat?"
Su Wan'er hesitated, but still shook her head when she looked at Su Chang'an, and then said, "I have the noble spirit!"
Su Changan smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.
In fact, Su Wan'er wanted to stay with her elder sister for a while longer, because she knew that if she returned home, her elder sister would almost be back to the palace.
Su Changan asked, "How is your second sister preparing for the imperial examination?"
Su Wan'er thought for a moment and said, "According to what my second sister said, if the exam topic is about the collection of classics, then there is a 90% chance that I can make the list. As for whether I will be on the A list or the B list, it is hard to say. But if it is about policy essays, I am afraid it will be a 50-50 chance."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, but he had heard Su Wenqing mention Su Linhan's imperial examination.
According to what Su Wenqing said, he should have taken the exam a few years ago with a 100% passing rate, but Su Linhan was too lazy and didn't want to leave her yard, so it was delayed until now.
So what Su Linhan said now can actually be understood as the Versailles of a top student.
Su Wan'er looked at Su Chang'an: "Third sister will come back before the military exam, and she will also take the military exam then. But according to what my uncle and aunt said, it's just nonsense. I think my uncle should say that she won't pass the exam. But my third sister is very good at fighting, and many people can't beat her."
Su Changan had heard from Su Linhan and the others about his third sister. She was a rebellious person who had never liked studying since she was little and only liked fighting.
But Su Zifeng told Su Changan that her kung fu was very poor and that most of the people beaten by her were pretending to fail because they were afraid of the Su family.
Su Changan thought for a while and said, "When I come back, if I have time, I will go home. If I don't have time, you can go to the palace and I will let Zhou Qianhong pick you up."
Su Wan'er nodded: "Third sister really wants to see you, but she is afraid to see you, mainly because the eldest sister is too famous, and the third sister keeps asking us what you like so that she can prepare a gift for you."
At this point, Su Wan'er pursed her lips and frowned, saying, "But don't expect too much, big sister. Third sister's taste in choosing gifts is worse than my brother's. And it's very strange. For example, on Second sister's birthday that year, Third sister gave her something that looked like a rabbit made of fish bones. It was very strange. Later, my brother broke it into pieces and threw it away."
Su Changan was helpless. He suddenly realized that the relationships of the Su family’s children, except Wan’er, were not quite normal?
Even though Su Linhan looks normal, she is actually a homebody.
Yan Ruyu has been paying attention to her surroundings. Although there are definitely fewer assassins now, she still has to be on guard.
However, he did not encounter any assassins, but he met many people who coveted Su Changan's beauty.
Without exception, if anyone coveted something, it would be fine if they just took a look at it, but if anyone wanted to do something, a mysterious person would suddenly appear and take them away quietly.
As for where he went, I don’t know.
Moreover, Yan Ruyu took a look around and although there were many martial artists on the street, at a glance, there didn't seem to be any powerful ones.
But I dare not relax.
Maomao followed him, looked around, and then looked at those people from the martial arts world. Finally, he felt bored and continued to think about the medicinal herbs.
Finally, Su Changan saw a restaurant called "Haochiwei" that he had heard Xun Kuang mention before.
I've heard Su Zhaoxin mention before that the marinated duck in soy sauce at this restaurant is delicious, but I never had the time. Today is a good time to try it. Of course, when leaving, Su Changan also wanted to pack one for Xia Fengxiang.
When we walked into the restaurant, there weren't many people there, probably because of the time.
but
After Su Changan and his friends walked in and told the waiter a few names, they saw a young man waving at them.
It's an acquaintance.
Forsythia.
Su Changan was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet Lian Qiao here.
Because he later learned that after Lian Qiao was beaten by Aunt Yan, he was arranged to recuperate in a small house outside the imperial city.
Yan Ruyu was also surprised, but didn't think much about it and just looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan looked at Lian Qiao with a pleading face and waved at them hesitantly, wondering if something had happened to this unfortunate guy again.
Thinking that he had helped him that night, he walked over with Yan Ruyu and the others.
but
As soon as he got close, Lian Qiao came up to him immediately, lowered his voice and said earnestly, "Save me."
Su Changan, Yan Ruyu and the others all heard it. After looking at each other, they looked at Lian Qiao inexplicably.
Wait until you are seated.
Lian Qiao lowered her voice and said, "I lost my purse and can't pay the bill. Please, Miss Chang'an, save me."
Hearing this.
Su Changan rolled his eyes.
Yan Ruyu was stunned.
Maomao looked at Lianqiao with strange eyes.
All three of them knew that Lian Qiao had lost her purse in Huajie before, but why did you lose your purse again?
Su Wan'er blinked her big eyes and looked at Lian Qiao. How should I put it? She felt that this older brother was a pretty capable swordsman.
But why does it look a bit dull?
Su Changan looked at Lian Qiao: "Do you know where it was lost?"
Lian Qiao immediately shook her head and then told the general story.
After listening
To sum it up simply, Lian Qiao was bored at home, so he thought of going out for a walk. When he walked here, he wanted to have a meal. When he was almost done with the meal and wanted to pay and leave, he found that his wallet was empty.
Then I sat here anxiously for half an hour.
Looking at Lian Qiao, who exuded a clear and foolish aura, Su Changan asked, "Did you go to the Flower Street in broad daylight?"
Lian Qiao immediately shook her head: "No, I wanted to go, but I didn't dare."
Looking at Lian Qiao, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu: "Is he really a seventh-rank?"
Yan Ruyu nodded helplessly.
Su Changan looked at Lian Qiao for a while, then looked at Su Wan'er seriously and whispered, "Did you hear that? A swordsman who is so stupid that he can even lose his purse can reach the seventh rank. I think you are too casual about your limit."
Su Wan'er looked at Su Chang'an, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but still nodded: "Yeah!"
Lian Qiao, who heard everything clearly, pouted and looked at Su Changan aggrievedly: "Please don't make fun of me, Miss Changan. I didn't know there were so many thieves in Luoan City."
Maomao then said, “There are many thieves in Luoan City, but there are few who can lose their money bags twice like you.”
After saying that, Maomao frowned and stared at Lian Qiao: "Also, I'm very curious about how someone as stupid as you can cultivate to the seventh level. What medicinal herbs are used to assist? If so, please tell me. I want her to reach the eighth level as soon as possible."
As he spoke, Maomao glanced at Su Changan.
Su Changan was helpless for a moment, but didn't say much, because Maomao knew that after Su Changan reached the eighth rank, he would not need anyone to protect him closely, and he could go to Dunhuang to see his family, so he thought of ways to help Su Changan reach the eighth rank as soon as possible.
That's the reason why we use medicinal liquors and the like.
Lian Qiao looked at Maomao and felt that Miss Chang'an's words were a bit hurtful, but this girl's words were like stabbing a knife into her heart.
Su Wan'er looked at Lian Qiao. Although she didn't quite understand why the elder sisters said that about this senior swordsman, she knew that they must have their reasons.
But seeing how pitiful Lian Qiao was, Su Wan'er remembered what her master Yuan Ruxi had told her: 'Any swordsman, no matter how strong he is, should be treated with courtesy. If he is a vicious person, he should be killed after being treated with courtesy.'
So Su Wan'er looked at Lian Qiao, especially when she heard that this elder brother was a seventh-rank swordsman, higher than her master, she immediately bowed to Lian Qiao and said, "Junior Su Wan'er, greetings to the senior."
Lian Qiao was stunned and turned to look at Su Changan.
Su Changan smiled and said, "My sister, the apprentice of Mr. Yuan Ruxi Yuan."
Hearing this, Lian Qiao immediately returned a great gift to Su Wan'er. Not to mention that Yuan Ruxi was a senior whom Lian Qiao admired very much, even if she was Su Chang'an's sister, he could not accept this gift.
Although she was stupid, Lian Qiao had heard that Su Changan would be the future Empress. Lian Qiao dared not accept such a great gift from the Empress's sister.
After paying his respects, Lian Qiao looked at Su Wan'er and said, "When I was young, I once saw your master ask my father for a sword. That battle left a deep impression on me."
Su Wan'er blinked and asked eagerly, "Did my master win?"
Lian Qiao was stunned, but still said truthfully: "I lost."
Su Wan'er sighed and pouted. Which disciple doesn't want his or her master to win?
Seeing Su Wan'er like this, Lian Qiao immediately thought of comforting her.
But before she could say anything, Su Wan'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. When I grow up, I will also go to ask for the sword and help my master win it back."
Hearing this, Lian Qiao was stunned. He looked at Su Wan'er, then at Su Chang'an, and finally at Su Wan'er again. He thought for a long time and came up with a sentence: "I will work in the Dali Temple in the future, and you can come to me anytime to ask for advice."
Su Wan'er nodded immediately.
Yan Ruyu sighed and looked at Lian Qiao and said, "In the capital, there are many things that you haven't really achieved yet, so don't tell others about them, because things can change at any time. If you talk too much, the possibility of change will increase."
Lian Qiao heard this and immediately said to Yan Ruyu: "Thank you for your advice."
But looking at Yan Ruyu, Lian Qiao pursed her lips and said, "But I want to ask you, Commander Yan, why did you lie to me? Last time, I clearly wanted to challenge you, but Commander Yan came. Do you know how scary it is when she stands opposite me?"
When she heard the last part, Lian Qiao felt like crying.
Yan Ruyu hesitated to speak, but still sighed and said, "I didn't lie to you. It was you who said it wrong. My mother thought you were going to challenge her. And, I was beaten by my mother since I was a child, so I know how scary she is."
Lian Qiao wanted to say something, but finally sighed, not knowing what to say because it sounded like Yan Ruyu was worse off than herself.
Yan Ruyu looked at Lian Qiao and said, "If you really want to fight me, I can accompany you when I am free. But you can't beat me, and if you want me to draw my sword and fight you, I am afraid you will need to recuperate for a longer time."
In fact, Lian Qiao had just been thinking about having a fight, but after hearing this, Lian Qiao didn't dare to say it. He could see that Yan Ruyu was an honest man, and what he said was definitely credible.
After a while, Su Changan and his friends’ dishes were served.
After telling the shop owner that Lianqiao's meal bill would be included in the bill, Lianqiao finally felt relieved.
While eating, Su Changan kept asking about Lian Qiao's affairs in the martial arts world.
But he found that Lian Qiao didn't know much, but she told him everything she knew.
In particular, the battle between Yuan Ruxi and his father was mentioned.
Although Yuan Ruxi lost, he lost because of the quality, that is, the sword energy. But in terms of swordsmanship, Yuan Ruxi won.
At that time, Yuan Ruxi was a sixth-rank official, and Lian Qiao's father was an eighth-rank official.
This made Su Wan'er on the side look very proud.
This is also the reason why Lian Qiao admires Yuan Ruxi.
Moreover, Lian Qiao also said that the evaluation of 'Tu Shui Jian' Yuan Ruxi in the martial arts world is "it's a pity that his only strong sword moves are his sword moves."
Su Changan was actually quite curious about the old senior who was once "a world of his own" that Zhou Qianhong had mentioned before, so he asked about it.
Lian Qiao said that the story of the old senior happened many years ago when he was just a child, but he had heard his master mention it.
The old senior was very cool in the world.
But as Zhou Qianhong said, the old senior disappeared suddenly.
This made Su Changan even more curious, and he wondered when to find the lovely and respectable Aunt Yan to ask her.
…
It was just a few blocks away from the markets where Su Changan and his group were.
Many people on the street focused their eyes on a woman who was blindfolded, had a sword hanging from her waist, and was dressed in black.
There are many martial artists in the capital today, especially female swordsmen. After all, there are many women participating in the martial arts exams.
only
Such a beautiful, blindfolded female knight is surprisingly powerful.
especially
The female swordsman was holding a medium-sized wooden stick in her hand, which made people even more curious.
Of course.
There were also lustful people who thought that the woman was blind, so they had evil thoughts about her.
But as soon as he approached her, he was rejected by the woman. Then after a little more pestering, he was taught a lesson.
Things like this have happened repeatedly since this woman entered the capital.
So she herself doesn't care.
But now
Standing at the border of the market town, the woman frowned slightly, clenched the wooden stick in her hand, and did not move.
After looking at the road for a long time, the woman sighed and finally admitted something, saying to herself, "I'm lost."
But after the woman finished speaking, the woman who was not blind but had her eyes covered with silk said stubbornly: "Oh, I'm not lost, I just forgot how to get there."
but
As she said this, the woman turned around and was about to walk along this road, but she forgot that this road was actually the one she had just walked along.
But just when the woman had taken a few steps, several women with swords on their waists came forward, first clasped their fists towards the woman, and then asked: "But is Tianzhi Pavilion in danger?"
Lian Wei heard this, looked at these people, and nodded: "Yes."
The woman with the sword immediately said, "Fu Baoxin of the Chixia Army has come here on orders from the commander-in-chief to welcome Miss Lian Wei."
Lian Wei frowned slightly: "I want to find my brother first."
Fu Baoxin smiled, thinking of what the commander-in-chief said, and after glancing at the stick in Lian Wei's hand, he said with a smile: "We'll take you there."
…
At this time, many people came to the restaurant where Su Changan and his friends were.
Even at the table where Su Changan and his friends were sitting, which was a bit far away, there were guests coming.
There were five people, both men and women, all with swords hanging from their waists.
When they first arrived, the young men looked at Su Changan in surprise, but thanks to the reminder from the middle-aged man next to them, they immediately stopped daring to look at Su Changan.
The middle-aged man probably saw that Su Changan and the others were dressed gorgeously, so he did not dare to offend them. He clasped his fists to apologize and sat down.
But it was obvious that the middle-aged man actually wanted to change seats, but the restaurant was full and there were no other seats available.
However, those young men still stole glances at Su Changan from time to time, which made the middle-aged man a little uneasy, especially since he could feel the sword intent from Yan Ruyu and the restrained sword energy from Lian Qiao.
So after he gave some instructions to the younger generations, they were shocked and didn't dare to look at him any more.
But for this
Su Changan didn't care.
Only Yan Ruyu looked at it a few more times.
Forsythia yeah.
However, Maomao kept looking at the hay sticking out of the torn bag around the young girl's waist. Finally, as if she had confirmed something, she looked at Su Changan and whispered, "That person is wearing red, pink and white plants."
Then he added: "A very rare poison, I want it!"
