On Chu Huan's first day in the household department, he went there unknowingly and returned to the Ximen office. The wine and meat had already been prepared here. , and from Huang Tiandu, the commander of Wujingwei, to Zhang Douli, the general banner of Xicheng, they all looked at Chu Huan with admiration.

However, the Ximen Office was deserted, and there were only three people in the entire office. After asking, I found out that Wang Fu had brought people to repair Yan's house early in the morning.

When it was dark, Wang Fu came back with a group of people. When he saw Chu Huan, he smiled and said, "My lord, Mr. Zongqi, in a word, everything is done quickly. Brother No. 30 was transferred, and several others Skillful craftsman, half of the packing has been done today, and adults can move in in two or three days at the latest."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's really tiring, brothers."

He was about to have a meal with everyone, but before he picked up the chopsticks, someone sent an invitation card, saying that someone sent it to Chu Huan, but the person had already gone, Chu Huan was surprised, when he took the letter and looked, it was someone They made an appointment to drink at a nearby restaurant, but it was Xuanyuan Shengcai who left their name.

Chu Huan hesitated for a while, but he didn't feel disgusted with Xuanyuan Shengcai. Instead, he felt that this person had something to be friends with, but he didn't know why Xuanyuan Shengcai invited him to dinner?

Is it just a small gathering of fellowship, or is there another reason?

Chu Huan also knew that although he had a backer like King Qi in Beijing, other than that, he was weak and had no connections at all.

He also knows that if he wants to survive in the capital, there is only one King Qi behind him. That is absolutely impossible. Even if he is appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, if he is not careful, he may be crushed to pieces by all the forces in the capital. Now I haven't encountered any thorns yet, if I do, with my current strength alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to go a round with my opponent.

Xuanyuan Shengcai is an important member of the Xuanyuan family, and he represents the Yiguogong family. Chu Huan doesn't know whether Yiguogong's family is biased towards the Taizi Dang or the Hanwang Party, or whether it is just neutral , but Xuanyuan Sheng took the initiative to find him for dinner, no matter what, it meant that there was a relationship.

Of course Chu Huan would not really stick with Yi Guogong's family, but if Xuanyuan Sheng really wanted to make friends with him, Chu Huan was still very happy.

After all, the Xuanyuan family is still a powerful family in the Great Qin Empire. Even if they don't walk with them, they can't fight them head-on. If you don't go to the banquet today, you may offend Xuanyuan Shengcai because of it. Although Xuanyuan Shengcai does not seem to be a narrow-minded person, if he misses this opportunity, Xuanyuan Shengcai may mistakenly think that he does not want to make friends with him, and even if he is not an enemy in the future, it will be difficult to be a friend.

Seeing Chu Huan pondering, Wang Fu couldn't help asking why, but Chu Huan didn't hide anything, Wang Fu said in surprise, "Is it Wuwei Xuanyuan? My lord, Wuwei Xuanyuan invited you to dinner, I have to give you some face."

Chu Huan asked with a smile, "Why?"

Wang Fu said softly: "My lord doesn't know, but Captain Xuanyuan Wu has a very good reputation, but his temperament is a bit strange." After a pause, he said: "There is a story about him in Beijing, but I don't know Has your lord heard of it?"

"what story?"

"It is said that several years ago, the son-in-law... well, before the assassinated son-in-law married the princess, he sent an invitation to Martial Xuanyuan, asking him to go to a restaurant for dinner. Martial Xuanyuan really went that day, but in the restaurant After waiting for a full night, the son-in-law never showed up." Wang Fu lowered his voice and said, "Wuwei Xuanyuan waited until the next morning, took a knife, rushed directly to Duke Ango's mansion, and broke into the mansion alone. He just picked up the son-in-law from the bed. If Commander Xuanyuan hadn't arrived in time, it would have been inevitable for the son-in-law to break his arms and legs. For this matter, Xuanyuan Wuwei was imprisoned for three months, but luckily the Holy Majesty graciously released him...!"

"What else?" Chu Huan became interested.

Wang Fudao: "Many people know about this. It was the son-in-law deliberately teasing Xuanyuan Wuwei. Who knew that Xuanyuan Wuwei was serious. He waited for him all night and knew that he was being teased, so he broke into An Guogong's mansion alone. .That happened five or six years ago. At that time, Wu Wei Xuanyuan was only in his 20s, young and vigorous, but at that time he was already a Wu Wei of the Guards...!"

"Five or six years ago, he was the Martial Officer of the Guards Army?" Chu Huan wondered, "Then why are you still standing still?"

Wang Fu shook his head and said: "It's not standing still. What happened that day, not only was Captain Xuanyuan imprisoned for a few months, Commander Xuanyuan also abolished his military post and demoted him to an ordinary soldier. Only in the past few years Climb up step by step, otherwise Captain Xuanyuan will be Captain Yun even if he is not Captain Xiao today."

It was only then that Chu Huan suddenly realized and understood.

In fact, in the Iron Blood Garden yesterday, Chu Huan felt a little strange. Ma Zhongheng had extraordinary riding skills and was in the position of Yunwei. Compared with Ma Zhongheng, Xuanyuan Shengcai was very good at archery, and he was much better than another military commander, Gaoya. There are too many, but he is only a military officer, which seems a little unreasonable. Hearing what Wang Fu said today, he understands the reason.

Thinking of how Xuanyuan Sheng broke into Anguo Gong's mansion alone, Chu Huan felt that this person was very passionate and a man of love.

Chu Huan was about to go to the appointment, Wang Fu saw that it was already dark, but he was worried about Chu Huan's safety, so he insisted on bringing a few people with him.

Chu Huan knew in his heart that if someone really wanted to take his life, if he couldn't handle it, even bringing a few Wujing guards by his side would be useless, but Chu Huan couldn't refuse Wang Fu's kindness.

At that moment, Wang Fu called Sun Jingyi and Sun Long, and the three followed Chu Huan to the appointment.

The restaurant where Xuanyuan Shengcai met was actually not too far away. After walking several streets, he came to a slightly bustling street, but Chu Huan had already changed into casual clothes. It is also clear that it is a personal relationship, not business affairs.

Xuanyuan Shengcai just invited Chu Huan, but it was not easy for Wang Fu and the three of them to go. It happened that there was a small stall next to the restaurant. They bought dog meat noodles at night. Wang Fu took the two of them to eat dog meat noodles, and Chu Huan entered alone. Restaurant appointment.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, a waiter came up to welcome him, and asked respectfully, "Is this Master Chu Huan, Master Chu?"

"You recognize me?"

"Then you are really Uncle Chu." The clerk said, "Upstairs in Room No. [-], there are several uncles waiting, pass the word, if Uncle Chu arrives, just go upstairs."

Chu Huan nodded, and the clerk pointed upstairs. Chu Huan saw that there was a room with a closed door, and then went upstairs to the room, but there was no sound in the room, so he knocked on the door. The voice said: "The door is open, come in!"

Chu Huan pushed open the door, and saw a big table with three or four people sitting there. The moment the door opened, those people all looked at Chu Huan. Xuanyuan Sheng was among them, he was wondering, suddenly felt a strong wind from the side, but out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards him.

Chu Huan reacted quickly, stabilized his feet, and reached out to grab it. Who knew that the man was also flexible. Chu Huan reached out, but the man had already turned his wrist to grab Chu Huan's wrist.

The two hands interlaced each other, and after five or six moves, Chu Huan finally seized the opportunity and clasped the opponent's wrist. Just as he clasped it, he felt that the arm was violently thrusting Chu Huan Pulling over there, Chu Huan immediately let go, only to see that the opponent had already kicked him with a leg.

Chu Huan didn't hesitate either. The opponent kicked, and he responded with his hands. The opponent kicked, but Chu Huan also kicked instantly. Although the kick was later than the opponent, when the opponent's kick came, Chu Huan's leg had already met. On the ground, the two legs are also interlaced, you come and go, but your body is still, the strong wind is blowing, Chu Huan is fighting, but he has already seen that the opponent is Xuanyuan Shengcai.

Although Xuanyuan Shengcai attacked suddenly, his moves were not ruthless, and his leg skills were not bad either. The two of them entangled for more than ten rounds, and Chu Huan's toe finally hit Xuanyuan Shengcai's throat. Shengcai's toes were still a finger away from Chu Huan's chest. Although the difference seemed to be the same, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already been defeated by Chu Huan if he really wanted to fight the enemy.

Xuanyuan Shengcai laughed, and retracted his foot, Chu Huan had also retracted his foot, and before he could speak, Xuanyuan Shengcai said to the people at the table: "You have all seen it, it's not that I didn't use all my strength, this Master Chu's ability, It is indeed above me, today you have always met real people, elegant people, how can you match?"

Chu Huan still couldn't figure out the situation, but those people had already stood up and cupped their hands and smiled, "Is this Mr. Chu Huan from Yangwei Iron Blood Garden? It's a pleasure to meet you!"

These people were all in casual clothes, Chu Huan didn't know their identities for a while, but Xuanyuan Shengcai had already cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Chu, these people are all members of the Guards. I heard about Master Chu's heroic appearance yesterday. We all want to get acquainted, but luckily I also intend to invite Mr. Chu to have a few drinks, so I bring everyone with me, and let everyone get drunk!"

Chu Huan was a little taken aback.

However, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already pulled Chu Huan's arm into the table. These people were all warriors, so they didn't feel restrained. They toasted each other. Xuanyuan Shengcai offered a glass of wine to Chu Huan, and said, "Lord Chu...!"

Chu Huan said: "Master Xuanyuan, we don't need to address you as your lord when we drink wine privately. If possible, why not call them brothers?"

Xuanyuan Sheng smiled and said: "That's fine. Yesterday, brothers Chu showed their power in the Iron Blood Garden. I thought the Holy Majesty would transfer you to the Guards, so my Guards had another general, but I didn't expect that the Holy Majesty would transfer you to the Guards." It was unexpected to be transferred to the household department."

Chu Huan smiled, and said, "Your Majesty has his own plan for such an arrangement."

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Brother Chu, when you arrive at the Ministry of Finance, you should do a good job in the Ministry of Finance." He came closer and said in a low voice: "There are many moths in the Ministry of Households. If you go in this time, don't let those moths eat the money and food of the empire. gone."

Chu Huan's heart skipped a beat, but with an expressionless face, she smiled and said, "I just entered the household department, so I don't know anything, and I really don't have a clue." Picking up the wine glass, "Brother Xuanyuan, drink!"

Suddenly someone asked: "Master Chu, I heard that Liu Yao, the prince of Tianshu Kingdom, was killed by you?"

"Liu Yao?" Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "Oh, it's just a fluke."

One person said with a smile: "It's not a fluke. As far as I know, the court has been looking for Liu Yao secretly for many years. Among the six black lists of Shenyiwei, Liu Yao is one of them. It's just that Liu Yao is so daring. , at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I'm afraid even Liu Yao himself would never have imagined that one day he would die under Master Chu's sword!"

Xuanyuan Sheng said solemnly: "Liu Yao hides in the capital, his intentions are self-evident, I'm afraid he just sits and waits for the opportunity to be unfavorable to the Holy One. This man's swordsmanship is very good, if it is not for brother Chu to get rid of him, it is really a big hidden danger, brother Chu also It’s a big favor to our Guards.”

Chu Huan shook his head and just smiled. He still doesn't know if Xuanyuan Sheng invited him here tonight. Was it really just for a few glasses of wine, or did he have other plans?When everything was unclear, it was better for him to speak as little as possible.

After drinking for three rounds, one of them was three points drunk, stood up, staggered and said, "You guys drink first, I'll go to the latrine...!" Staggering, he went out.

Xuanyuan Shengcai had already drank a lot of wine at this time. At this time, one person was lying on the table drunk and unconscious, and the other two were talking nonsense in a daze. Xuanyuan Shengcai patted Chu Huan on the shoulder, tongue Get up: "Chu Huan, I asked you to drink today because we won't have many chances to drink together in the future."

Although Chu Huan also drank alcohol, he kept restraint and remained sober. Hearing what Xuanyuan Sheng said, he couldn't help frowning: "Brother Xuanyuan, what do you mean by that?"

"I've already told my cousin that I don't want to stay in the capital." Xuanyuan Sheng waved his hand and said, "It's boring, the capital is boring, like a piece of wood. I'm going to the border. A man who is skilled in martial arts should fight in the battlefield... !"

"To the border?" Chu Huan was startled.

Xuanyuan Sheng just nodded and said: "Border Pass...Northwest Border Pass, that's where men should go... Drunk lying on the battlefield, yellow sand all over the sky, iron and blood gold, hahaha...!" He was already drunk.

Chu Huan asked softly, "Brother Xuanyuan has been to the Northwest Border?"

Xuanyuan Sheng just nodded and said: "I have been there... I still remember the wind and sand there... Well, Feng Han died laughing, Yu Buqu is old, and it is time for Northwest to employ people. If you don't go now, let alone when... !"

There was a stern look in Chu Huan's eyes, he picked up the wine glass, approached Xuanyuan Shengcai, and said with a smile, "Brother Xuanyuan, can you have a drink...!" But for some reason, his hand trembled, and the wine glass inside It got wet on Xuanyuan Shengcai's front chest, Chu Huan immediately stood up and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was careless, come on, Brother Xuanyuan, I'll dry it for you!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai half-opened his eyes, waved his hands and said, "It's okay...it's okay...!"

Chu Huan said: "I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if I get wet with wine...!" Pulling Xuanyuan Shengcai's front breasts, he seemed to be arranging Xuanyuan Shengcai's clothes, but inadvertently exerted force, and faintly saw Xuanyuan Shengcai's chest, Chu Huan glanced across his chest, only to see that Xuanyuan Shengcai's chest was firm and tight. Although he was born as a warrior, there were no scars. Disappointment flashed across Chu Huan's eyes, and it was fleeting. After pulling up his clothes, Xuanyuan Shengcai grabbed Chu Huan's hand and asked drunkenly, "Chu Huan, do you want to go? Go to the northwest and fight with the Xiliang people...!"

Chu Huan said: "Brother Xuanyuan, has he forgotten that the people of Xiliang are about to negotiate peace with me, Great Qin, and the war has ceased."

"A truce? A peace negotiation?" Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head, "The ghosts believe what the people of Xiliang said, Daqin and Xiliang will never die... There will never be peace...!" Here, it seemed that he couldn't hold on anymore, lying on the table and snoring soon.

Chu Huan shook his head, got up, fell silent for a moment, walked to the door, and was about to ask the waiter to bring some bowls of hangover soup, but before he got close to the door, he saw someone passing by through the gap in the door. There were two figures, and the figure in the back bowed slightly, looking very humble. When Chu Huan saw that figure, he felt very familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before. There were two people walking downstairs, the one in front was obese and dressed in brocade clothes, and the one behind was bowing his body, looking at the back, Chu Huan's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of someone.

However, he remembered that during the few days when he was in Huiyuan Inn, there was a guy named Chang Yi next door, who was mysterious and weird. It was precisely because Chu Huan saw that guy was weird that he didn't have a close relationship, but Chang Yi took the initiative to strike up a conversation several times. However, Chu Huan was not very enthusiastic.

After leaving Huiyuan Inn, he didn't see Chang Yi again. Chu Huan had almost forgotten that there were too many passers-by in his life, so naturally Chu Huan would not remember such a person.

It's just that he didn't expect that Chang Yi, whom Chu Huan had almost forgotten, seemed to appear again today, and the back of the bowed man looked exactly like his neighbor from before.

Chu Huan didn't know the details of Chang Yi, let alone who the big fat man was, but looking at the walking posture and movements of the big fat man, he seemed to be putting on airs, but Chang Yi seemed to be trying his best to please him, and kept sending him off. The fat man left the restaurant.

Chu Huan remembered that Chang Yi once said that he seemed to come to Beijing from other places to do business, and he wanted to find the government as a backer. He even wanted to use Chu Huan to connect with the government, but was rejected by Chu Huan. Could it be that Chang Yi has already found a backer, the fat man is actually an official of the court, the fat man's posture really has a bit of official authority.
