"Young Master, information sent from the front line."
In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, Yu Qingxuan hurriedly walked over and sent the information into the room.
"Dashang's reinforcements were defeated?"
In front of the table, Li Ziye asked casually while eating the lotus seed soup Taotao prepared for him.
"How do you know, young master?"
Yu Qingxuan looked stunned and asked in surprise.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time."
Li Ziye said calmly, "As long as the Mobei cavalry intercepts those reinforcements, they won't be able to hold them back for long. Is the information sent about the battle situation on the west road or the middle road?"
"West Road."
Yu Qingxuan replied, "Nearly 30,000 reinforcements were eaten up in less than a day. 30,000 people suffered heavy casualties and were completely defeated."
"Wrong decision-making, wrong choice of battlefield, wrong timing, right time, right place, right people, occupying nothing, and being eaten by others, it's normal."
Li Ziye put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and said in a cold tone, "It's a pity that the lives of those 30,000 soldiers are lost. If the fight continues like this, Dashang has no chance of winning."
Today's Great Shang court, from top to bottom, is so stupid that it's almost suffocating.
The decision to let a group of sour scholars and sycophants participate in the war is really problematic if they can win.
If wars can be solved on paper, famous ministers and good generals will not be so scarce throughout the ages.
Regardless of whether they are generals or handsome men, none of them were developed in war.
It is really stupid to talk, comment, and even decide matters on the battlefield without having been on the battlefield.
"Young Master, will you go to the battlefield again?"
In the room, Yu Qingxuan hesitated and asked.
"Yes, but not now."
Li Ziye responded, "Fight step by step. In fact, I am not as good as the other Martial Kings. I need to wait. Moreover, there are still many troubles that have not been resolved here in the capital, and I cannot get away for the time being."
Now is the critical moment for the Dashang royal family to make peace with the Li family. Everything will be settled in the next few days and cannot be delayed for too long.
It was only a few days, he could afford to wait.
"Go out for a walk, Qingxuan, let's go together."
After a brief thought, Li Ziye stood up and walked outside.
Yu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
"Young Master, it's getting dark soon. Where are we going?" Outside Li Garden, Yu Qingxuan glanced at the sky and asked in confusion.
"Flower Garden."
Li Ziye responded, "Go and drink flower wine."
"..."
When Yu Qingxuan heard the young master's answer, he was speechless and at the same time, he had more questions in his heart.
Taking her, a former courtesan, to the land of fireworks to drink wine?
Why does it feel weird?
Isn’t it good to drink at home?
On the street, as the sun sets, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians. When the sun sets, there are almost no people on the street.
Soon, the two came to the flower garden on the bank of the Xiangshui River.
In the land of fireworks, the lanterns were first lit, and it looked so lively in this quiet night.
No matter when, even if a war is coming, there will still be no shortage of talented people and dignitaries in the alleys of fireworks.
Logically speaking, as the third son of the Li family and a once-famous playboy, Li Zi came to Yanhualiu Lane several times at night to drink flower wine without any problem.
However, drinking flower wine is not so glorious in terms of glory. Under normal circumstances, respectable people will not be too high-profile. After all, if word spreads, it will always be true.
Like Li Ziye, bringing an oiran to drink flower wine is purely an act of showing off his wealth and inciting hatred.
There is already a charming oiran like Yu Qingxuan in the mansion, but he still comes to hang out in the Flower Garden. It's just a matter of time to come, and he also wants to bring the oiran in the mansion with him. No matter how you look at it, he deserves a beating.
In this era where identifying people is still based on portraits and conveying messages relies on manpower, in fact, it is not that easy to identify a person.
For example, when Li Ziye walked into the Shihua Garden, few people could recognize him at a glance.
After looking at it several times, some people may think it looks familiar, but in this environment, they don't have the time to pay attention to this new passerby.
However.
When everyone ignored the passerby at the door, they unexpectedly saw the woman behind the passerby.
Compared to Li Ziye, who is a passerby, Yu Qingxuan is famous far and wide in this capital, especially in the fireworks and willow alleys like Shihuayuan.
Among the noble disciples or talented people who often hang out in Fireworks Willow Alley, whoever says they don't know Fairy Qingxuan will definitely be looked down upon.
Therefore, when the guests of Shihua Garden saw Yu Qingxuan, many of them recognized his identity at a glance.
Then, the entire garden began to stir.
"It's Fairy Qingxuan."
"Master Yu!"
In the Shihua Garden, everyone was agitated, much like the reaction of fans when they see their idol.
"The terrible celebrity effect."
Li Ziye shook his head helplessly when he saw everyone's excitement.
He, the richest dandy of a big businessman, does not have such an astonishing influence as Yu Qingxuan in a place like this.
In the corner, a young figure noticed the movement at the door and subconsciously looked over. When he saw the person, he looked startled and immediately turned away.
Why is this guy here? Don't recognize him!
"Your Highness Eleven, why are you here?"
It's a pity that everything is always afraid of what will come, and Li Ziye's annoying drake voice finally sounded at the right time.
"Your uncle."
In the corner, Mu Qing heard someone's voice and couldn't help but cursed softly.
This guy must have done it on purpose!
"Your Highness Eleven, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet His Highness here."
While everyone was shocked, Li Ziye walked towards the table in the corner with enthusiasm, looked at the unshaven Eleventh Prince in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, why do you look so haggard?"
Sample, hide? See where you can hide!
Speaking of which, Mu Qing's unshaven appearance saves him from having to disguise himself. Most people really can't connect the down-and-out young man in front of them with the high-spirited eleventh prince.
"Professor Li."
At the table, Mu Qing looked at the person coming and could no longer pretend not to see him. She smiled bitterly and said, "You're fine."
"You're welcome and safe."
Li Ziye responded, sat down beside him and said, "After I came back, I always wanted to visit His Highness's residence. Unfortunately, there were too many things going on in the residence and I never made time. Unexpectedly, for the first time today, When I went out, I met His Highness, what a coincidence."
"It's a coincidence indeed."
Mu Qing reluctantly nodded in agreement, glanced at the woman behind the former, and asked, "Why does Mr. Li bring a girl with him when he comes to a place like this?"
"Qingxuan said that she had been away from Shihuayuan for too long and wanted to come back for a visit, so she came together."
Li Ziye started to make nonsense with a smile on his face. Anyway, it was him who had the final say. No one could do anything to him.
However, none of this matters.
The important thing is that he has wanted to block this kid for a long time, and today, he finally succeeded!
