Returnee in Jianghu - C82

“Brother Tang wants to go to the capital, but it’s not the time for the examination yet.” Mo Gui frowned. He really didn’t understand why Tang Ming would go to the capital at such a time.

“I’m not going to take the Imperial examinations.” Tang Ming calmly replied and followed Yang Canghai as they walked around the garden: “The scenery of Young Master Yang’s house is very exquisite.”

It was already winter, and some of the plum blossoms had already quietly bloomed, hiding in the branches.

“Young Master Tang is too kind.” Yang Canghai embarrassedly smiled.

“Thirteenth Brother.” A shout suddenly stopped Yang Canghai.

Yang Canghai looked over, and spoke with a warm tone: “Third Brother.”

Tang Ming also saw the youth in plain clothes. He looked at Yang Canghai: “This is Young Master Yang’s brother?”

When Yang Wuya saw Tang Ming, he smiled and asked, “So this is Brother Yuyan’s good friend, Young Master Tang Ru Chu?”

“Brother, do you know Brother Tang?” Yang Canghai suspected that he was ignorant and ill-informed. Otherwise, how could Third Brother know Tang Ming and he not know?

“The news has spread throughout the entire Nine Stream City. The number one genius in the world will be participating in this exam.” Yang Wudao looked at Tang Ming with the same smile, “I never thought that in my lifetime, I would once again be able to see the brilliance of the renowned number one genius in the world.”

Yang Canghai didn’t think that this news would spread so quickly, but when he thought about it again, that was Li Yuyan, so the news naturally spread very quickly.

“Young Master Tang, do you want to rest at the Yang Mansion?” Yang Ming nodded as he looked at Tang Ming for no reason.

“No, I have urgent matters to attend to so I have to rush to the capital. I can’t stay here for too long.” Tang Ming looked at Yang Canghai and moved away.

In fact, the closer he got to the capital, the more Tang Ming was not anxious. After all, the palace was not that easy to enter. Although Tang Ming had Su Ziyue’s jade pendant, he did not want to use it.

In the end, Tang Ming still didn’t want to get involved with the imperial government.

“Is that so?” Yang Wuya didn’t ask any further, and instead turned to look at Yang Canghai: “Uncle wants me to bring you to his study, he has an important guest who wants to see you.”

“Who is it?” Yang Canghai’s attention was immediately attracted by Yang Wugou’s words.

Yang Wuya pursed his lips and did not answer.

Mo Gui smiled and said, “Since there’s nothing else for me to do, I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Tang Ming didn’t stay any longer. He intended to turn around and leave, but the jade pendant on his waist fell.

“Young Master Tang, your jade …” Yang Wudao picked up the jade pendant, and upon seeing the design of the pendant, he was momentarily stunned. Tang Ming took the pendant and calmly said, “Sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s no trouble.” Yang Wudao took a step back and subconsciously glanced at Tang Ming. Tang Ming’s face was calm as he allowed himself to be sized up by Yang Ming: “This is a gift from an elder. Young Master Yang, please don’t spread it.”

Yang Wudao smiled as he answered.

Tang Ming nodded. Just when Tang Ming thought he had nothing to do, a voice called out to him.

“Master Tang?”

Tang Ming turned his head and found that Mr. Cai, who he had met at the Gu Fang Institute, was looking at him with a smile. “Long time no see.”

“Mr. Cai.” Tang Ming was dazed for a second. Suddenly, he remembered something that Hua Yu had once told him. He smiled and said, “I heard that Mr. Cai has returned to his original position.”

Cai Dian didn’t expect Tang Ming to know about this news. It was only when Tang Ming brought up Hua Yanzhuo’s words that he suddenly realized. “So it was that child, Yu Zhenjun, who told you this!” “This old man will tell you how Master Tang knows about this old man’s news.”

“So, why is Young Master Tang in Nine Creek City?” Cai Meng looked at Tang Ming, full of questions.

Jiuxi City was different from other cities. It was a place where people lived in the north while people lived in the east to head to the west. Since ancient times, there had always been a lot of people living in the capital. It could be said that Tang Ming’s sudden appearance in this place where there were very few martial artists was definitely due to a reason.

“To be honest, I want to go to the capital.” Tang Ming naturally told Cai Dian frankly.

Cai Meng’s temperament changed. “Why are you going to Beijing?”

It was no wonder that Cai Dian was so rude to Tang Ming. Tang Ming was already one of the experts in the martial arts world. If Tang Ming wanted to do something, something big could happen to him.

Tang Ming naturally knew this thought.

“He won’t be a threat to the imperial government, and he won’t even stir up a mess in the capital. Mister, are you relieved?” Tang Ming narrowed his eyes. With a mild expression, he said, “A place has its own rules. I won’t break them to avoid trouble.”

Satisfied, Cai Deng asked, “Do you want to travel with me?”

“I won’t trouble you then.” Tang Ming glanced at the person behind Cai Dian and directly left.

Although in the story of Hua Duo, Cai Dang was a man obsessed with love, giving his all for the sake of his beloved woman, this didn’t change the fact that Cai Dang was not someone to be trifled with.

In fact, no matter if it was in the martial arts world or the imperial government, how many people were easy to mess with if they held high positions?

“It’s such a pity that I can’t go with Young Master Tang.” Cai Dian didn’t force him, and instead let Tang Ming leave.

“I’m also sorry.” Tang Ming’s words didn’t have the slightest bit of sincerity, but the two knew that the two sides were just exchanging pleasantries.

Suddenly, Cai Dian opened his mouth, “Young Master Tang, it’s deep in the capital. Be careful.”

Tang Ming, on the other hand, turned around and saw that Cai Dian was still smiling. Tang Ming nodded, accepting Cai Dian’s good intentions.

However, Cai Dian’s words also reminded Tang Ming to pay attention to the situation in the capital. Therefore, Tang Ming thought that he might have to slow down since he knew nothing about the capital’s environment.

Tang Ming had already thought of the place to inquire about the information.

The next day, Tang Ming found a shop with a small peach blossom engraved on the sign and went in without hesitation.

“Sir, what kind of candy do you want?”

As the waiter spoke, Tang Ming realized that this was a candy store. He sighed, thinking that the Pure Wind House had concealed it really well, and so he said, “Pure Wind House.”

The waiter’s face stiffened, “I don’t know what the guest is talking about, but we are in an imperial merchant house, so I wonder what Pure Wind House is!”

Tang Ming looked at the waiter who was pretending to be crazy and play dumb, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to challenge the restaurant. Do you recognize this piece of jade?”

The waiter looked at the jade pendant and then looked at Tang Ming. With a fawning smile, he asked, “Where is the Young Master from?”

This was a saying in the martial arts world to confirm that the other party was a person from the martial arts world.

Tang Ming naturally knew this secret phrase and glanced at the waiter.

“The place where the swords and sabers are.” Tang Ming’s face was cold. He really couldn’t think of how he got such an awkward title.

“Alright, guest, follow me. Let me introduce you to something that the guest wants to know.” The waiter led the way as he explained, “This is the library. Normally, don’t provoke the old man guarding the door.”
