Chapter 15 Relief

This whip contained [-]% of its strength, and it swung towards Chu Heng horizontally with its internal strength.

Chu Heng raised his eyebrows, and a jade pendant hidden in his sleeve slipped silently into the palm of his hand, and his fingertips were about to touch the warmth in his palm. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a jade pendant flying towards the sky from the corner of his eye, and he snapped his fingers , Put the jade pendant back into his sleeve.

The person throwing the jade pendant obviously has much deeper inner strength than Xu Shao. When the jade pendant hit the whip in mid-air, it not only blocked all the force wrapped in the whip, but also took Xu Shao staggering to the side twice with the remaining force. step.

And when the pendant fell to the ground, the remaining strength on it actually protected it and rolled twice on the ground, and it was still intact when it stopped.

At the end of the corridor, two people walked towards the light, the sunlight leaking from the patio reflected on their faces, and the light and shadow blurred their faces.I only heard a warm and clear voice coming from the other end of the corridor, with a smile, half teasing: "Hey, son, it's the first time I've seen someone more arrogant than you in the imperial capital."

This is really not a good word, but the people who listened were not annoyed, instead they said slowly: "Su Lang, you can forget about throwing things away, why do you want to pick the ones from my waist, did you take them with you?"

Chu Heng's heart moved slightly, and it was Su Lang who came.

Yesterday in front of the imperial court, the scene where he and His Majesty were very intimate was still in front of my eyes. Outside the Hall of Jingcheng, the words that the guards said when they introduced him to me were still in my ears—the second son of Ying Guogong, the junior brother of His Majesty, the first class in the imperial court. These close ministers, these modifiers that others can't wait for, are all generously added to this person who is walking slowly.

Su Lang chuckled when he heard the words: "My own is not as easy to throw away as others', so of course I have to pick other people's."

The owner of the jade pendant sneered and did not refute.

When the two approached, Chu Heng also recognized the other one.Chu Heng didn't know a few of the princes of Dayin Jiuzhou's family, but the one next to Su Lang - Xiao Gaomin, the eldest son of Yichong Yong'an Houfu, he had not only heard of, but also met once.

Xiao Gaomin was dressed in a graceful and elegant scarlet red streamer brocade, with a dignified demeanor, he glanced at Chu Heng and Xu Shao and his party lightly, and then glanced at the suet jade pendant that fell on the ground.

With a glance in his phoenix eyes, he pointed to the young master who was laughing the loudest beside Xu Shao just now, and said casually: "You, go and pick it up."

Those with Xu Shao were all noble sons with names and surnames in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, but Xiao Gaomin didn't feel inappropriate at all when ordering them, on the contrary, the corners of his brows and eyes were all taken for granted.

He really has the qualifications to be so arrogant and indulgent.

There are many families in Kyushu in the world, but the Yichong Xiao family is the well-deserved No. [-] family of Dayin among them.The Xiao family is a good marquis, but it is the only super-grade Marquis who is hereditary and will never be degraded.

The No. [-] Martial Arts School in Kyushu——Yishan Academy, is Yichong Xiao's family education.Even His Majesty has to give Yi Chong Xiao some face.

In recent years, Xiao Gaomin stayed in Yichong, Changzhou, and rarely came to the imperial capital.But everyone knows that the noble and noble eldest son of the Yong'an Hou Mansion is not a good match.

The young man who was pointed by Xiao Gaomin really didn't dare to say anything, the expression of laughing wildly just now was swept away, he walked over obediently to pick up the jade pendant, wiped off the dust that didn't exist on his head, bowed his head and offered it to Xiao Gaomin with both hands before.

Xiao Gaomin stretched out his hand to pick it up, but he didn't put it back on his waist again. He just squeezed it in his hand and fiddled with it a few times, and suddenly he flicked it out with his fingers. The suet jade pendant couldn't bear the force of his fingertips, and hit the railing , instantly shattered into pieces.

Xiao Gaomin wiped his hands with a brocade handkerchief, without raising his head, he said: "It's dirty, I don't want it anymore."

The faces of the entire group changed, and the young master who picked up the jade pendant just now blushed even more, but he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction, so he had to grit his teeth and lower his head.

Xu Shao clenched the whip tightly in his hand, his expression was very ugly, and he suppressed his anger and said: "What do you mean by this, are you planning to surround this concubine's son today?"

Su Lang twitched the corner of his mouth, held the folding fan in his hand, and didn't respond.

Xiao Gaomin threw aside the handkerchief that he had wiped his hands, and when he heard the words, he glanced at Xu Shao lightly, his pair of phoenix eyes flashed bright contempt—the same as Xu Shao's eyes when he looked at Chu Heng just now, even a little more to mock.

Xu Shao suddenly became angry, and clenched his fists loudly: "I would like to advise you two, associating with such low-born and incompetent people is to lose one's self-worth..."

Su Lang interrupted him, stroked his folding fan and said in a low voice: "Did Xu Shizi forget that Chu Heng and I are colleagues, we are in the Hall of Martial Heroes, and we are also in front of the imperial court, it seems that there are other people who are not with me. ?”

Xu Shao's face suddenly changed.

Xiao Gaomin didn't even look at him, turned to Chu Heng, and asked with great interest: "I heard that you are the master of the Astrology Pavilion of Lishan Mountain, so you should be very familiar with Ye Xinghui, the young master of Lishan Mountain? "

Chu Heng gave a faint "hmm", he had met Xiao Gaomin once in Yishan Academy.

But unfortunately, when we met for the first time, Chu Heng's younger brother, Ye Xinghui, the young lord of Lishan Mountain, formed a small relationship with the Yichong prince in front of him, and even brought Chu Heng who was going to Yichong Both Heng and Ye Shuli left a deep impression on the arrogant and wanton Shi Ziye.

The time he went to Yichong, Chu Heng was wearing a mask all the time, so now Xiao Gaomin didn't recognize him.

Xiao Gaomin was about to open his mouth to say something more, when Xu Shao was blocked by Su Lang's words, he became angry from embarrassment, and when he heard the word "Yuqian", his face turned blue and then pale, but he didn't have the confidence to confront him directly, so he had no choice but to raise his hand. Pointing at Chu Heng with the whip, he spoke out wantonly to ridicule, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, and insinuated that Xiao Gaomin and Su Lang surrendered their identities.

Chu Heng lowered his head and stroked the jade pendant in his sleeve, his pupils were as black as ink, and his eyes seemed to be calm.

Seeing that Chu Heng remained silent, Xu Shao felt even more proud.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the crowd at the top of the stairs looking far away, and amplified his voice: "Your birth mother is nothing more than a slut..."

Chu Heng raised his eyes suddenly, and looked at Xu Shao expressionlessly, his dark eyes were as deep as water, reflecting Xu Shao's domineering shadow.

Xu Shao's voice paused for an instant, and a chill ran through his heart for no reason.

At a certain moment when Chu Heng looked at him, he clearly felt a kind of danger, just like the instinctive fear and trembling when facing the strongest.

Xu Shao opened his mouth, and subconsciously swallowed all the unfinished words.He settled down, but when he came back to his senses, he saw that Chu Heng was still the same as before, with his eyebrows closed and silent. The condescending indifference just now seemed to be just an illusion, which never existed.

Yes, Chu Heng, how is it possible!

He stabilized his mind, let out a sneer, and was about to continue when Xiao Gaomin's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he glanced over, impatiently said: "Noisy!"

"Shut up!" Su Lang's voice sounded at the same time as Xiao Gaomin's. He frowned and looked at Xu Shao: "You know that he is the imperial servant Mo, so you should know who he is now. Xu Shao, why don't I give it to you today?" Mind you—”

Su Lang's voice was cold, and his words were not polite at all: "Conceitedness is nothing. Don't stretch your hands so long, hold the whip in your hand and don't shake it around, or the next time the whip falls on whoever It's hard to say."

He stepped forward to take a step towards Xu Shao, pressed down the handle of the whip raised by Xu Shao with the folding fan in his hand, pointed horizontally at the golden plaque of the imperial pen hanging in the main hall of the martial arts hall, and said in a low voice: "Your brother-in-law is useless to say here, How about calling in front of His Majesty?"

Xu Shao's complexion changed suddenly, he looked at Su Lang coldly for a moment, then turned his head and gave Chu Heng a gouging look, but he said nothing, and went downstairs together with a group of young masters behind him.

Su Lang turned back to look at Chu Heng, with a clear smile in his eyes, and said in a warm voice: "I went to the Jingcheng Hall yesterday evening, but I couldn't see Mr. Chu, I don't want to meet you here today, it's really a coincidence .”

Chu Heng deliberately ignored the words "Hall of Respect and Sincerity", raised his lips slightly, politely and alienated: "Thank you two for your rescue today..."

Xiao Gaomin suddenly interrupted him, half-boringly said: "It's nothing to just say thank you, please invite me and Su Lang to dinner at noon today."

Before Chu Heng could respond, a person ran up the stairs, saw Xiao Gaomin and Su Lang, and said with a smile, "Yo, what kind of wind is this that brought the son here?"

The three of them looked over, and Yun Fei came trotting all the way with his sleeves on. After greeting Xiao Gaomin, he looked at Su Lang with bright joy on his face: "When did you arrive? You are back, Cheng Miao is not here, you went again Ying Hai, our South Palace will lose all face."

Su Lang laughed lightly when he heard the words, Xiao Gaomin nodded casually as a greeting.

Yun Fei glanced at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and said in surprise, "When did this vase fall?"

As soon as he spoke, the three of Chu Heng twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.

Seeing their expressions, Yun Fei immediately realized that something was wrong, and looked around for another week before noticing that all the people in the adjacent Xiangge had left completely.He beckoned to the waiter downstairs to clean up the mess, and led the three of them into the pavilion that had been reserved before, frowning and asking, "What's going on?"

Su Lang sat down and poured a cup of tea, and said what happened just now in a few words.

After Yun Fei heard this, he slapped the table angrily: "Is he sick? Why, just watch me make trouble when I'm not around, okay, wait, I have to find someone to put him in a sack!"

He got angry angrily, and then looked at Chu Heng who was drinking tea by himself. He obviously brought him to the martial arts hall by himself, but because of his negligence, he caused another innocent disaster.Yun Fei coughed apologetically twice, avoiding his eyes and not daring to look at him, and stammered: "Chu Heng, I'm sorry, I, that..."

Chu Heng looked as usual, put down the teacup and said directly: "It's okay."

On the contrary, Yun Fei was even more embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "I just went to the four o'clock restaurant across the street to book a banquet, don't leave until noon, please."

The four of them were gossiping when the waiter knocked on the door and came in. The bets for that round of martial arts competition just now had been settled, and few people won the bets. Chu Heng made a lot of money in just one round.

Yun Fei's eyes were straightened, and he said in disbelief: "Just now the left side won? No, how did you win this way? Are you kidding me?"

Chu Heng said: "Tall."

Yun Fei was dumbfounded, Su Lang looked at his dazed look, and kindly explained: "Fight against a desperate situation."

There was more than one contest in the morning, and Chu Heng won not only one round.

Before going out to the Four Seasons Food House at noon, Yun Fei finally came to the conclusion that Chu Heng had very good luck when placing bets—a game with poor strength can turn the tables against the wind and turn defeat into victory; Fight more courageously.

In short, don't trust any of your own judgments any more, follow Chu Heng as much as you want.

After winning all morning, the unhappiness Xu Shao and his party brought to everyone in the morning was temporarily put to the back of their minds.At noon, a few people had dinner at the Four Seasons Restaurant, seeing that the weather outside was turning cloudy and the cold wind was picking up, they didn't plan to go shopping elsewhere.

Before parting, Su Lang suddenly stopped Chu Heng, lowered his voice and said: "I'll tell you straight, Xu Kan, the second son of Marquis Jiayong, entered the Hall of Martial Heroes years ago, but he has never been able to arrive. Go ahead."

What Su Lang said was straightforward, Chu Heng understood it.Xu Shao is Xu Kan's eldest brother, a relative of the prince's mother's family. He prides himself on being noble and capable, but none of his direct younger brothers can compare to the "son of a concubine" who he regards as worthless.He met Chu Heng here today, and it was not surprising that he provoked and vented his anger under the anger.

Chu Heng couldn't help but think of the first time he went to the Imperial Palace, His Majesty suddenly stopped him behind him when he was on duty—"Chu Heng, you have to remember that you are in the Imperial Palace now, do you know how many people in the Hall of Martial Heroes want to go?" here?"

He lowered his eyes slightly, and in front of him was Su Lang who was very intimate with His Majesty in the Hall of Respect and Sincerity yesterday, but His Majesty's meaningful words echoed in his ears, and there seemed to be a variety of emotions intertwined in his heart, which was an indescribable mess , There are inexplicable sorrows and sorrows, there are unreasonable boredoms, and it seems that there are some secret joys——that are quietly sprouting from the deepest part of my heart.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go back to Jingcheng Hall.

Su Lang: Did you see that someone is more arrogant than you, you lose the persimmon.

Xiao Xiao:?This is impossible.Dare to be more arrogant than me, you are quite courageous.
