For nearly a month, Tao Jun was finally driven a little crazy by Han Feng's never-ending challenges, which became increasingly stronger as he fought.
Even every time he saw Han Feng approaching from a distance on the city tower, he would feel his scalp numb.
He really didn't want to fight Han Feng, because every time he defeated Han Feng, the price he paid was getting bigger and bigger.
A dignified commander of the imperial army, now he has a bruised and swollen face all day long, and sometimes the pain is so painful that he can't sleep in the middle of the night. This is so sad.
As for Han Feng, no matter how badly he was injured, he was safe and sound the next day and became stronger.
Reluctantly, Commander Tao could only choose the thirty-sixth strategy, and the best strategy was to go.
He simply took the initiative to apply for defense transfer and went to guard the other three gates of the imperial city, planning to avoid Han Feng for a few days.
But he ignored Jun Beixuan, who was the deputy commander of Zuowu|Wei.
Jun Beixuan secretly sent gossip to the Hanlin Academy. No matter where Tao Jun was guarding the gate of the imperial city, or even secretly asked for leave, or was hiding in the commander's guardhouse, Han Feng could find him accurately.
In this way, Commander Tao lived in "dire straits" almost every day. He even knew better than Han Feng about the time when Hanlin Academy was on duty.
Finally, it seemed that even God couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to give Commander Tao a holiday.
On this day, Hanlin Academy had just finished his training in the training room. Han Feng, who was full of energy and had reached his peak, walked out of the training room directly.
However, as soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Shangguan Lin.
Bachelor Shangguan, who has been having bad luck lately, has been staying up late every day to write and review. Even though he is a moon-level master, he has become much thinner and haggard.
However, when I see Han Feng on weekdays, this Shangguan bachelor is full of resentment and looks like a disgraced daughter-in-law.
When I saw Han Feng face to face today, he actually took the initiative to show a warm smile and stepped forward to salute.
"Scholar Han, how are you doing lately?"
When Han Feng saw this, he was slightly surprised and said with a slight smile: "I'm fine, but Lord Shangguan doesn't look good."
"Well……"
When Shangguan Lin heard this, his eyelids twitched and he tried to keep smiling.
Seeing this, Han Feng continued: "By the way, Lord Shangguan, I saw you running to Lord Zhangyuan again this morning. Could it be that you were reprimanded again?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin's smile became more and more awkward, and he said instead: "Scholar Han, you have been on duty at the Hanlin Academy for more than a month."
Hearing this, Han Feng nodded.
"Yes, it's been more than a month."
Shangguan Lin's smile became enthusiastic.
"It's like this. Our Hanlin Academy has a practice. When an official of fifth rank or above joins the job, the Hanlin Academy will hold a "reception banquet."
When Academician Han first joined the company, the "Sutra Banquet Ceremony" was about to be held. We all forgot about it when we got so busy.
No, as soon as I thought of this last night, I came to apply to the Master of the Academy early this morning to organize a replacement banquet for Academician Han. The Master of the Academy was very happy to hear this, agreed to the matter, and asked me to handle it personally. "
"Feast to welcome the wind?"
When Han Feng heard this, he turned his eyes slightly and looked at Shangguan Lin's smiling face, revealing a playful smile.
Seeing Han Feng's strange look, Shangguan Lin quickly said: "Scholar Han, I know that we may have had some minor misunderstandings before, but it is said that it is better to resolve enemies than to end them.
No, I specifically applied to the Head Court that this reception banquet will be funded by me personally. Tomorrow evening, a reception banquet will be held for Academician Han at the "Tianci Pavilion", the best restaurant in the imperial capital. "
"oh……?"
The smile on Han Feng's face became even more playful when he heard that it was Shangguan Lin who personally funded the banquet for him.
"Haha... Sir Shangguan is so polite. He even specially prepared a Hongmen Banquet for me."
"Hongmen Banquet?" Shangguan Lin looked confused.
Han Feng smiled and explained: "This is a common saying in my hometown, which shows that this banquet has good intentions and deep feelings!"
Shangguan Lin nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Master Han really understands my intentions. This is a Hongmen Banquet. Bachelor Han, you must come to participate!"
When Han Feng heard this, he said noncommittally: "Sir Shangguan, you also know that I have been busy with the challenge recently. I am really busy, and I am not sure whether I will have time tomorrow.
Let me think about it, if I have time, I will definitely come to this banquet. "
After saying that, without waiting for Shangguan Lin to say anything, Han Feng transformed into a breeze and went down to the attic.
Looking at the direction where Han Feng disappeared, the smile on Shangguan Lin's face froze for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Humph, I'm personally hosting a banquet for you, and you still dare to resist me. You're really shameless!
Just wait, Han Feng. After this banquet, not only the Hanlin Academy, but you can't even stay in the Imperial Capital. "
…
However, Han Feng and Chu Baoyu left the Hanlin Academy together, but Han Feng did not go to the imperial city to challenge, but changed routes with Chu Baoyu and went to Feihua Tower.
When passing by the backyard of Feihua Building, looking at the candlelight on the windows in the corner of the second floor, Han Feng tacitly walked around and entered through the front door.
They went straight to the box on the second floor and met the group of dandies from the imperial capital who knew everything.
When everyone saw Han Feng and Chu Baoyu, they were extremely enthusiastic.
"Brother Han, young master, you are finally here!"
"You two, you haven't come to see the brothers for quite some time recently!"
…
After seeing everyone, Han Feng casually found a seat and sat down. He waved his hand and said, "I will pay for all the expenses brothers have today."
When everyone heard this, they cheered and burst into laughter.
However, Han Feng raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent and asked casually: "By the way, do you know the "Tianci Pavilion" in the imperial capital?"
"Tianci Pavilion."
When everyone heard this, they all looked very familiar.
After one of them explained it, Han Feng learned that Tianci Pavilion, known as the "First Floor of the Imperial Capital", was a restaurant opened by the Imperial Commercial Bank and was open to the empire's dignitaries.
Those who can access Tianci Pavilion are either rich or noble. Even if ordinary people can afford it, they are not qualified to enter.
Those present here are all children of powerful families, and naturally they have all been to the famous Tianci Pavilion. After listening to everyone's introduction, Han Feng was quite surprised and secretly sighed that Shangguan Lin was willing to spend a lot of money.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "By the way, you know, has anything special happened in Tianci Pavilion recently, especially tomorrow night?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion and found it difficult to answer Han Feng's question.
But just a moment later, a rather wretched-looking young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly spoke.
"Brother Han, I remembered. Tomorrow night, the banquet hall on the top floor of Tianci Pavilion has been reserved by the fourth princess. They will host a "Qionghua Banquet" for the famous ladies from the major families in the imperial capital.
"Qionghua Banquet?" Han Feng looked confused.
"It's just a group of ladies from all over the world, gathering together to study music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It seems to have been specially prepared by the fourth princess to present a gift to His Majesty for his birthday in a month's time."
As soon as this statement came out, not only Han Feng, but also everyone else showed curiosity.
"Hey... why haven't we heard about this?"
The man smiled proudly and said: "Hehe... you have forgotten what my family's side business is. My family is the largest fabric merchant in the Imperial Capital. All the eldest ladies in the Imperial Capital wear, from the inside to the outside, are all produced by my family. of fabric.
At this Qionghua Club, in order to outshine the rest, these young ladies did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to customize fabrics and clothes at my house. Naturally, they also revealed some news about the Qionghua Club. "
When everyone heard this, their eyes brightened and they were ready to make a move.
"Wow, with so many famous ladies from the imperial capital gathering together, it must be a wonderful scene."
"Oh, it would be great if I could go in and attend this banquet, meet another beautiful woman, and continue our good relationship."
…
The young man squinted and snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it. For this Qionghua Banquet, the fourth princess only invited the eldest ladies from the imperial capital and prohibited all outsiders from participating, especially men.
If you dare to show up there, the hot-tempered fourth princess will see you and twist your heads off! "
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and immediately remembered the reputation of the fourth princess for being unruly.
"That's right. I heard that this fourth princess has a fierce temperament and is moody, especially when it comes to men. If she dares to offend her, she will definitely end up very miserable."
"Isn't that right? Half a year ago, I heard that the young master of the Minister of Justice was drunk in Tianci Pavilion. He accidentally entered the fourth princess's box and made some drunken remarks. His hands and feet were broken by the fourth princess on the spot. He even kicked that "thing" It’s useless.”
…
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but shrink their necks, showing fear on their faces.
Han Feng on the side, silently listening to everyone's conversation, finally showed a look of enlightenment in his eyes!
He sneered secretly in his heart. It seemed that the Lord Shangguan finally couldn't sit still anymore and was about to use his "killer trump card" against him.
He had been busy with challenges for some time, and Han Feng wanted Shangguanlin to suffer more at Yu Zhangyuan, so he never made any plans.
Now it seems that the opportunity has come to his door. Since the opponent has "set up", Han Feng will simply use his plan to defeat the enemy with one strike!
