Xiao Xuan grew up next to the old Duke Ding, and most of the people he came into contact with since childhood were military generals.

Anyone he can appreciate, regardless of their status, must be aboveboard and aboveboard.

He despises street gangsters like Tian Shu from the bottom of his heart.

It’s okay if a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old cannot serve the country. After all, people’s abilities vary, and it is impossible for the Wei army to recruit all the young men in the Wei Dynasty.

But Tian Shu is already an adult. Not only can he not support himself, he also owes a large amount of gambling debts to his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

This kind of person is just a waste of food when he is alive. Even if he is beaten to death by debt collectors, he will not be able to gain any sympathy from him.

Of course, Xiaojiu's words are not completely unreasonable.

If sneaking around, cheating and kidnapping can be considered a skill, then Tian Shu, who can make a name for himself in Beijing, cannot be considered useless.

The question is, as Xiaojiu, what is the use of keeping such a person around?

Xiao Xuan smiled calmly: "If I can catch your eye, it's not too bad to come to Tian Shu."

Xiao Bi said: "That boy Tian Shu is not good-looking, but he is very smart. In terms of brains alone, even if ten Zhang Qiyongs were tied up, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

In fact, he doesn't want to be a gangster, but he has never been able to find a path that suits him.

Fifth brother, you don’t know that that guy has a wide network of people and knows everyone from all walks of life.

Zhang Qiyong’s sword is a fake he asked a friend to make, and it’s impossible to tell the authenticity from the fake at first glance.”

Xiao Xuan sneered: "So what? Not all people from all walks of life bring trouble to their families, and Tian Shu's ability to cheat is not his.

Zhang Qiyong's father-in-law is the only son. Since he is so smart, isn't it a good idea to take care of his father's business?

If you can’t bear the pain of studying and practicing martial arts, is it possible that you still want to be an official?”

Xiao Bi rolled her eyes at him: "I knew I couldn't make sense with you...forget it, you don't have to worry about this anyway, I'll keep him for my own use."

She kicked the horse's belly: "I'm going back first. If we block here and let others see it, they will think we are plotting something."

"Wait a minute." Xiao Xuan called her, "You've finished talking about mine, but I haven't talked about mine yet."

Xiao Bi pulled the horse, tilted her head and said with a smile: "It's just a trip to the palace, what else can happen?

Could it be that your brother-in-law has given you something good and wants to share half of it with me?"

Xiao Xuan smiled meaningfully: "It is indeed necessary to divide it in half, but it is not my thing that is excessive, but yours."

"What?" Xiao Bi's eyebrows immediately rose.

Why doesn't she remember that she has something that she can share with others?

Xiao Xuan burst out laughing when he saw her vigilant look.

Xiaojiu has had this temper since she was a child.

Never care about other people's things, and never allow others to care about your own things.

He had just started here, and before he got to the point, she started to protect the food.

Seeing Xiao Xuan smiling so inappropriately, Xiao Bi almost wanted to curse.

"Xiao Xiaowu, how boring are you, just teasing me with these unfounded things!"

Xiao Xuan stopped laughing: "Fifth brother is not teasing you. His Majesty just said it himself. He plans to divide the new guard into two, and you will be in charge of one of the teams."

Xiao Bi was angry: "Forty people are too few for me, why should we divide them into two teams?

Where does this goblin come from and wants to take away my power?!"

Xiao Xuan was dumbfounded by the sound of "goblin", and Qingye, who was driving the carriage, almost fell off the carriage.

Xiao Bi said: "Brother-in-law always keeps his word most of the time, unless he is cheated on by others. Am I wrong to say that they are monsters?"

Xiao Xuan coughed violently a few times, and finally regained his breath. He held out his thumb and said, "Fifth brother, I'm convinced. You are definitely the only one who dares to openly say such things."

Xiao Bi didn't want to hear her nonsense and asked: "Then tell me quickly, what is going on?!"

Xiao Xuan then explained the matter in detail.

"...So His Majesty plans to divide the new guard into two, with you and Erlang of the Huan family each leading a small team."

When she heard that the person who had seized power was the grandson of Duke Huan, Xiao Bi's anger dissipated by more than half.

"The grandson of old Duke Huan...Fifth brother, what kind of person is Erlang of the Huan family?"

The smile flashed across Xiao Xuan's eyes, and he said seriously: "This is the first time I met him, and we were in front of the imperial court, so there was no chance for a deep conversation.

But I can still see that he is a man of real talent and learning, no less talented than you and me."

"It's good if he has real ability!" Xiao Bi slapped his thigh: "If he is just a loser, then what else can he take?

I've heard for a long time that the Huan family's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world, and I just wanted to ask for advice!"

Xiao Xuan deliberately reminded: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. Don't be careless."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Bi rolled her eyes at him again: "Did you invite them to our home?"

Xiao Xuan spread his hands: "I haven't returned to the house yet, how can I post a post?"

Xiao Bi curled her lips and said, "You are the only one who has a lot to do! My grandfather and Duke Huan have been friends for many years, and we are both from general families. Why do we need so much trouble? You can just bring them back to the mansion!"

Xiao Xuan said: "Then why are you lingering? Hurry up and go back and write the invitation!"

The brother and sister returned to the Duke's Mansion and went to Xiao Xuan's yard together.

An hour later, the invitation written by Xiao Xuan himself was delivered to the county government.

Looking at the thin and powerful font on the invitation, Huan Ji was filled with admiration again.

"Brother, the fifth brother of the Xiao family has handwriting as beautiful as yours!"

Huan Yu smiled and said: "Instead of lamenting here, it is better to work hard on your own."

Huan Ji was a little annoyed: "I have been working hard, but Mr. Ren has long said that writing also requires talent.

For someone like me who used the pen as a gun when he first picked up a pen, the writing that I can write like this is the result of hard work."

Huan Yu said helplessly: "Since I have been using my pen as a gun since I was a child, I will go and compare my marksmanship with the Xiao family.

Not to mention Brother Xiao Wu, even if you can defeat Xiao Jiu, all these years of hard work will be considered to have been in vain."

"This..." Huan Ji scratched his head guiltily: "The Xiao family's marksmanship is famous all over the world. Xiao Jiu... even though she is a girl and two years younger than me, Cao Kun was defeated. I'm afraid...

…”

Huan Yu raised his eyebrows: "Aji, are you scared?"

Huan Ji puffed up his chest and said, "Who is scared? Cao Kun is just a little bit stronger than me, and his marksmanship and sword skills are just the same. I have never seriously competed with him before.

I will be a guest at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, and I will definitely compete with Xiao Jiuyi!"

Huan Yu patted his shoulder hard: "Brother, I believe you will never lose the face of our Huan family."

Huan Ji blinked, these words...

He just wanted to compete with Xiao Jiu in martial arts and never thought about the issue of face.
