Chapter 60: Pretend to never pretend again

Not long after Xiao Ge and Hua Qinghan chatted, Emperor Tianqing sent someone to deliver the silver rewarded by Qilin Guard to the small schoolyard.

The snowflakes of five taels and one ingot are neatly arranged in four trays, emitting a faint light under the sunlight.

Xiao Yan picked up a ingot and looked at it, then gently put it back to its original place.

Seeing that her behavior was a bit abnormal, Hua Qinghan asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He really couldn't bear to say some things. Xiaojiu looked like the kind of person who had never seen silver before.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "I just think it's too difficult to make money. It's only five taels of silver for a month, which is not enough to go to a restaurant to wait for a table."

Hua Qinghan raised his eyebrows: "You really plan to invite everyone to have a drink?"

Xiao Xiang said: "Of course, the water splashed out of what you said. Besides, I am considered a new official to take office, so it is appropriate to treat you."

The two grew up together and knew each other's situation.

On the first day of today, there are still five days before the monthly payment of the Duke Dingguo Mansion. Hua Qinghan believes that Xiao Yan must have no money on hand.

Moreover, her monthly money is only twenty taels, and it is not enough to invite so many people to the restaurant.

Hua Qinghan is not a person who is good at hiding his emotions, especially in front of Xiao Ge, who always speaks and acts in agreement.

Seeing that his hand was almost reaching his purse, Xiao Yan hurriedly took action to stop him: "A few days ago, I won more than 100 taels of silver with people, which is enough."

Hua Qinghan couldn't hold on any longer, and after thinking about it, he said, "Although you are not considered an official in the court, it is still different from before.

Otherwise, I will accompany you to Qifeng Palace later and ask the Queen to give you a monthly increase in money?"

Xiao Ying waved his hand: "I don't invite people to drink and have dinner every day, why do I need so much money?"

If it is useful to ask someone, why should she wait until today?

The eldest sister has already made it clear. If you want money, you have to find your husband’s house first.

Besides, the increase of 50 taels per month is not much different from now.

While we were talking, there was a sound of uniform footsteps outside the school grounds.

The two looked up and saw Huan Yu coming back with dozens of teenagers.

Everyone changed into new military uniforms, had a new sword hanging around their waists, and lined up in two lines according to the color of the military uniforms.

They were all energetic and majestic, and compared to before, they seemed to have changed a group of people.

There is no need to mention the black Qilin suit, but the red Qilin suit is very effective when worn on them.

The group walked to the front of the generals and saluted Xiao Yan: "See Captain Xiao!"

Xiao Ge signaled Hua Qinghan to return to the team, and then clasped his fists to Huan Yu and returned the favor: "Captain Huan, thank you for your hard work."

Huan Yu is also wearing a red Qilin suit.

Although it is a little less elegant than the previous white clothes, it is integrated with his innate nobleness and looks more and more elegant.

There are very few handsome boys that Xiao Yu has seen. Some people like to wear red clothes, but Huan Yu is definitely the first person to wear red clothes so well.

She withdrew her gaze and raised her voice and said, "Noon has arrived, and the salary is paid!"

The schoolyard was filled with joy.

After paying the salary, the two captains made arrangements for the training plan and the rest schedule. The group of talents went to the most famous restaurant in the capital at Xiao Yan's invitation.

During the meal, the little bit of strangeness left between the teenagers completely disappeared, and some of them had a vivid personality and even began to be called brothers.

After the banquet was dispersed, the Huan brothers got on the carriage back to their homes.

Because Huan Ji had drunk a few more drinks just now, he felt a little drowsy.

Seeing his brother frowning as if he was thinking about something, he forced himself to come over and said, "Brother, after drinking so much wine, don't you feel sleepy?"

Huan Yu turned his head and suddenly grabbed his left hand: "So that's it!"

Huan Ji was not prepared at all, and felt a severe pain hit.

"It hurts... it hurts..." He struggled hard.

Huan Yu quickly let go of his hand: "Aji, I'm sorry..."

Huan Ji shook his hand and complained: "Brother, what's wrong with you..."

Did you get beaten up by Xiaojiu?

If it weren't for not beating my brother, he would have said the next sentence directly.

Huan Yu said: "I figured out something that I almost hurt you by mistake."

"What did you understand? Tell me quickly." Huan Ji's eyes were wide open, and he couldn't even care about the pain.

Huan Yu said: "I haven't figured out how Xiaojiu's last move was used before."

"What the hell is going on?"

Before, Xiao Yan and Huan Yu competed on the stage, but no one under the moves could see clearly.

Huan Ji had long wanted to ask his brother how he lost, but he had never found an opportunity.

"Xiao Jiu's move is too fast, and I'm a little distracted..."

"Distracted?!" Huan Ji almost knelt down.

My brother, that's a duel between experts. How dare you get distracted?

Huan Yu looked at him squintly: "Do you still want to listen?"

"Listen, listen... say it quickly..."

"Xiao Jiu can break the Huan family's sword technique, will you be distracted?"

"What? Xiaojiu can break the Huan family's sword skills?!" Huan Ji's wine completely woke up.

Huan Yu said: "I can't explain the specific situation for a while, but she is not unfamiliar with our swordsmanship.

The last move I used was the trick from the double swords, but she still broke it.

But she made a move too fast just now, and I was a little distracted, so I didn't notice that her last move was the left-hand knife."

Huan Ji was a little confused.

The Huan family’s sword skills have never been passed down. How did Xiaojiu know the secret?

Especially the double knife.

Although he started practicing since childhood, he has not been able to use it proficiently until now.

A girl under fifteen years old has amazing riding and shooting skills, and now she has such exquisite double swords...

How did Xiaojiu do it?

He pursed his lips: "She told me that day that girls are not strong enough to use long spears and have always wanted to learn double-knife.

So it's not surprising that she can use her left-hand knife.

But I still can't believe it... Brother, how did she learn the Huan family's swordsmanship?"

Huan Yu said: "What we just said is that she is not unfamiliar with the Huan family's swordsmanship, but it does not mean that she will definitely use the Huan family's swordsmanship.

After all, the Huan family has profound sword techniques, so it is not easy to master them completely.

Anyway, we don’t have to worry about this for a while, wait for me to write a letter to ask my grandfather.”

"Yeah, I listen to my brother, that..."

"What else do you want to say?"

"Brother, you have never liked to show off. Why do you use such...that moves today?"

"So...what?"

"Oh... it's just the trick you made on the stage. It's so handsome and ostentatious that it shocked everyone..."

Huan Yu burst out laughing and said, "Handsome? Zhang Yang? Do you want to say that I'm over-pretending?"

Huan Ji laughed and said, "My martial arts skills are so good. He just broke the platform and just went up there. Why bother...

I just think you are a bit abnormal..."

"You're right, I'm just pretending."

Huan Ji was stunned again.

Huan Yu smiled and said, "Pretending is to never pretend again."
