Su Tiancheng still didn't go out. He originally thought that after the provincial examination, he would take a good look in Taiyuan Prefecture City. Su Tianhao, who woke up, reminded him not to go out for the time being.

Almost all candidates stay at home or inn, and no one goes out. The results of the provincial examination have not yet come out. If they meet and ask each other about the situation, what can they say? I don’t know if they are in high school.

After the rankings are released, it is very embarrassing if the high school juren and the candidates who failed the exam meet each other and are both humble or confident.

Some candidates are not very scrupulous, and may even hurt their faces and do extreme things because of such things.

The most important thing is that the candidates do not know whether they can go high school, and their moods are a little ups and downs. They often say some inexplicable words, either laughing, bowing their heads and crying, and occasionally losing their composure. This situation occurs in the inn or home, and there is no problem, but if it happens in public, the impact will be bad.

Su Tiancheng understood this feeling. After ten years of hard work, no one asked him about it. Once he became famous, every candidate hoped that the imperial examination would be the only way out. Especially for those poor families, there was no other way. Many scholars could not pick their shoulders and hold their backs. Apart from studying and becoming officials, they had no other ability to survive. If they could not go to high school, they would probably spend their whole life in the midst of hunger and cold.

Staying at home is a bit boring, but there is nothing we can do.

At the hour of You, Su Ertong came in, holding a letter in his hand.

"Young Master, there is a man outside the mansion who wears a hat and covers his veil. He sent this letter, saying that he had handed it to the young master himself."

"Why don't you invite me to come into the mansion?"

"The guard said that the man was unwilling to enter the house, so he handed the letter and left."

The moment he received the letter, Su Tiancheng suddenly knew something, and there was a sign in the letter.

He quickly opened the letter, except for the talisman, there was also a piece of letter paper with the words "Taibai Liquor" written on it, and nothing else was left.

Taibai Liquor House is not very far from the mansion, and it is only two miles away in the past.

"Er Tong, you and Su Jun stay at home. Wang Dazhi followed me out for a while. If the eldest brother came over and asked, he would say that I was wandering around for a while and would go home soon."

Su Jun took Wang Dazhi and hurried to Taibai Restaurant.

This is a mid-grade restaurant, not very conspicuous, and there are many ordinary people who eat here.

From afar, Su Tiancheng saw Xiong Zijian standing at the door.

Although Xiong Zijian was wearing a hat and covering her veil, he was familiar with Xiong Zijian's body shape.

Su Tiancheng walked to the hotel door, and Xiong Zijian bowed his fists.

"Young Master Su, we have been to Taiyuan for two days, but you are still taking the provincial examination."

"Mr. Xiong, thank you for your hard work, would you go upstairs and talk?"

"Okay, everyone is waiting in the private room upstairs, but I still have to say in advance that the brothers are all military, and speaking and doing things is a bit casual. If they collide, please don't mind Mr. Su."

Su Tiancheng nodded and said, "Don't delay the door for too long." Xiong Zijian's outfit is already eye-catching enough.

After going upstairs, the guy took Su Tiancheng and others into the private room.

In the private room, three tough middle-aged men sat. They saw Xiong Zijian and Su Tiancheng coming in and didn't say anything, but they seemed a little interested in Wang Dazhi behind them.

"Mr. Su, let me introduce it. Sun Yuankun, the Qianhumen of the Northern Army in the first year of Tianqi, the imperial court was awarded General Wude, Liu Shiliang, the deputy Qianhumen of the Northern Army in the first year of Tianqi, the imperial court was awarded the guerrilla general, Luo Chang, the deputy Qianhumen of the Northern Army in the first year of Tianqi, the imperial court was awarded the guerrilla general."

According to the division of military positions, Thousand households are the fifth rank, and the deputy Thousand households are the fifth rank, and the corresponding rank is the same. General Wude is the fifth rank, and guerrilla generals are the fifth rank.

There is a key here. Deputy Qianhu, or guerrilla general, is the watershed between senior officers and middle and lower-level officers. Deputy Qianhu is the position undertaken by an individual, and guerrilla general is the individual's military rank.

Of course, when the situation is urgent, the guerrilla general can also serve as general, deputy general, and lead the army to fight.

The general and deputy general are military officers. Although they have no rank, they are mostly commanders and commanders, which are military officers of the second rank and second rank.

Su Tiancheng bowed to the three of them with fists, but Sun Yuankun and the other three of them seemed a little cold.

Su Tiancheng was a little calm inside. No wonder these people left the army in the second year of Tianqi. Nine years have passed. I don’t know how many things have been taken lightly. If they are still excited, it would be strange.

Besides, they lived in seclusion in Mount Emei, Sichuan, almost isolated from the world. After so many years, they have suffered so much. If they hadn't seen Xiong Tingbi's talisman, they wouldn't have come out at all.

Xiong Zijian looked as usual. When he entered the private room, he had already taken off his hat and veil.

After sitting down, the restaurant's shop served the dishes quickly, mostly cold dishes and not much stir-frying.

When the guy was about to pour wine, Sun Yuankun spoke and asked the guy to bring a big bowl.

Su Tiancheng understood that they were going to test their alcohol tolerance.

Xiong Zijian held up a bowl of wine and stood up. Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang all stood up.

Su Tiancheng and Wang Dazhi also stood up.

Seeing Xiong Zijian pouring wine on the ground, Su Tiancheng understood that this was a commemoration for Xiong Tingbi.

After drinking three big bowls of wine, Su Tiancheng still had no problem. During the process, no one spoke. The scene seemed a bit weird, but the atmosphere was slowly getting harmonious.

"Mr. Su, I have always kept my mother's instructions in my heart. Thank you for everything you have done. General Sun, General Liu, and General Luo followed me to Taiyuan. I won't say the purpose. It's just that they have lived peacefully for many years and no longer care about external affairs. When they come here, they just want to make friends with Mr. Su."

"Since that's the case, I am very grateful. General Sun, General Liu and General Luo don't have to travel thousands of miles to feel that it is too original, and Mr. Xiong doesn't have to worry about it. I will return this talisman to you now. What to do? You decide for yourself. Take care of yourself in the future."

Su Tiancheng picked up the bowl.

"I wish you a bowl of wine, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. If we are destined to meet in the future, we will still be good brothers. If we encounter any difficulties in the future, as long as I can do my best, please speak up."

Just as Su Tiancheng was about to drink this bowl of wine, Sun Yuankun stood up.

“Let’s wait.”

Everyone looked at Sun Yuankun with different eyes.

"We know the old lady's experience and the situation of the young master. This time, I followed the young master to Taiyuan. I really want to come and see. We have been in Mount Emei for so many years and have been in the depths of the mountains. We are isolated from the world. Even the old master is not aware of the old master's excuse. We deeply admire Mr. Su's generousness. However, since Mr. Su has participated in the provincial examination, he must be pursuing his future. Brothers dare not take risks anymore."

Su Tiancheng smiled coldly.

"Since General Sun said that, he would let his brothers live in seclusion in Taiyuan. As the saying goes, the big ones are hidden in the court, the middle ones are hidden in the world, and the small ones are hidden in the wild, at least they are also living in seclusion in this city. He always lets his brothers suffer deep in Mount Emei. What should their families do and what should their children do?"

Liu Shiliang and Luo Chang also stood up, obviously not convinced, and felt that what Su Tiancheng said was a sarcastic meaning of them.

Xiong Zijian and Sun Yuankun were still calm.

"Why did Mr. Su say that? In the future, when you become an official in the court, you will understand what I mean."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, obviously not caring about what Sun Yuankun said.

The atmosphere in the private room became a little nervous for a moment.

"General Sun, General Liu, General Luo, I want to ask you whether the suffering you have suffered exceeds that of the old lady."

The few people were a little discouraged and couldn't speak. Compared with the old lady, they were really nothing.

"The old lady took Mr. Xiong and worked tirelessly. What she thought of was to find a good future for Mr. Xiong. Thanks to the old lady's favor for the younger generation, I made up my mind to fight with Mr. Xiong. The old lady has suffered so much pain and can endure humiliation, understand the righteousness, and safeguard the prestige of the court. Instead, you see through the world and think that you have suffered a great grievance, and I am shy for you."

"You have indeed suffered a lot. The old man was wronged and killed, which made you unable to believe in the court. I can understand this feeling, but I want to ask you, have you followed the old man and fought on the battlefield, did you do nothing wrong? Did you kill a wrong person? You can't guarantee that the emperor commanded the world, everything is in detail, and was deceived by villains, and made some mistakes. Will the ministers who suffered wronged retreat to the mountains and forests?"

"I'll ask you again, if the old man is in heaven, is he willing to see you like this. The old man serves the court throughout his life and is loyal to the emperor. Even if he has suffered injustice, he never thought of retreating and going to die generously. I believe that if the old man is still alive, as long as the emperor gives him important responsibilities, the old man will not refuse."

"I am a person with a temperament. In just a few words, I know that you are too resentful. To be honest, I don't like such resentment. A man should stand up and die standing up, rather than live on his knees. Why do you look like a resentful woman?"

"Okay, I've said everything I should say. How to choose is your business, and I dare not force it."
