After settling Zuo Chong, Tang Jiabao and Duanmu Yaoyao left.
It was evening and the sky was dark.
Chu Xiu, who had quite a bit of money, ordered a sumptuous dinner in the inn kitchen.
in the room.
Zuo Chong drank a glass of wine from the inn, which was a bit unpleasant.
I had just drank the delicious liquor brewed by Chu Xiu, and now I drank the wine from this inn, but it was just tasteless.
"It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly because you just drank a pot of tonic wine. Drinking more will be harmful rather than beneficial to you." Chu Xiu explained.
His newly brewed liquor was mixed with several powerful tonic drugs. Zuo Chong had already drank a pot of it, which cleared away the Yin-Cold Palm Energy in his body. If he drank any more, he would be depleted and would not be replenished.
As for the other drinks in the bookcase, every gourd was laced with poison and was not suitable for anyone else to drink.
"I understand." Zuo Chong said with a grin, "The main thing is Mr. Chu's wine, it's so delicious."
"I'll treat you to half a bottle tomorrow." Chu Xiu said with a smile. He had a very good impression of Zuo Qianhu.
Zuo Chong's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "It's a deal."
Chu Xiu nodded slightly and started eating.
The two fell silent.
When the food was gradually empty, Zuo Chong hesitated and said: "I live here, which may cause trouble to you. I think I should let you know what happened to me."
"I would like to hear the details." Chu Xiu poured himself a glass of wine.
He was indeed curious.
"In this city of Chang'an, many people think that I am a fool who is greedy for beauty..." Zuo Chong sighed and poured himself a glass of wine.
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty, and it's normal to covet beauty. If Zuo Qianhu is a fool, there probably won't be many smart people in the Nineteen Prefectures."
"Actually, my own story is not exciting." Zuo Chong drank and said softly, "The story I want to tell starts from fifteen years ago..."
Fifteen years ago.
Tianji Pavilion announced a new rouge list to select beauties from nineteen states in the world.
In the ten years before that, the leader of the rouge list had always been Queen Anrong of the Daqian Dynasty.
That time, Queen An Rong ranked second on the rouge list, and the new leader of the rouge list selected by Tianji Pavilion was a girl named Pei Yiren.
Tianji Pavilion has a high opinion of Pei Yiren's appearance. The contemporary old man Tianji himself said that Pei Yiren is the most beautiful woman in Tianji Pavilion since its establishment over a thousand years.
At that time, Pei Yiren's portrait was hard to find.
Countless wealthy guests and dignitaries in the court are all flocking to Pei Yiren.
When it comes to power, among the nineteen states in the world, His Majesty the Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty is undoubtedly the number one.
His Queen An Rong has been elected as the leader of the rouge list for ten years. Now that a new leader has appeared on the rouge list, he naturally does not want to let it go.
The entire Long Yuan Guard army was dispatched to look for the new leader of the rouge list.
In the end, Li Xianyuan, commanded by Long Yuanwei, found Pei Yiren and brought Pei Yiren to Chang'an City.
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, thought he could have a kiss with Fangze, but an accident happened at this moment.
Pei Yiren fell in love with Li Xianyuan.
"In front of His Majesty the Emperor's power, Pei Yiren's thoughts are not important." Zuo Chong closed his eyes, seeming to recall Pei Yiren's peerless appearance, and seemed to be feeling something, "However, she is really beautiful, beautiful So much so that even the second gentleman of Zhuque Academy couldn't bear her frown."
"The second gentleman of Zhuque Academy?" Chu Xiu was surprised. He remembered that Tang Jiabao had mentioned this second gentleman of the academy before.
"Dean Feng's second disciple." Zuo Chong introduced, then continued, "You should understand the status of Suzaku Academy, right?"
Chu Xiu nodded.
In the face of absolute strength, imperial power must give way.
Dean Feng of Zhuque Academy possesses absolute strength.
The strongest without any doubt.
"Mr. Er hopes that His Majesty the Emperor can give him face and let Pei Yiren choose her husband on her own." Zuo Chong chuckled, "No one in the world, except Dean Feng, can refuse to give Mr. Er face.
Even the most powerful Emperor.
Pei Yiren was very grateful to Mr. Er, but unfortunately she didn't like Mr. Er. She chose to marry Li Xianyuan. "
"Li Xianyuan dares to marry?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly.
Zuo Chong said softly: "Li Xianyuan is a general promoted by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Everything he has is given by His Majesty the Emperor. He is willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty the Emperor."
Chu Xiu said thoughtfully, "But in the end, he married Pei Yiren."
"That's right." Zuo Chong nodded and said, "Only that time did Li Xianyuan make a choice that was loyal to himself."
"and after?"
Chu Xiu was curious and felt that His Majesty the Emperor would not give up on Pei Yiren easily.
"What I'm going to say next is a secret matter. Although everyone in Chang'an City already knows about it, it is a secret and cannot be spread publicly." Zuo Chong looked at Chu Xiu and said solemnly.
Chu Xiu nodded, becoming more and more curious.
"Before marrying Pei Yiren, Li Xianyuan brandished his sword from the palace and showed his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor." Zuo Chong said slowly.
Swinging a knife from the palace?
Chu Xiu was stunned.
This...what operation?
This time, Chu Xiu was really shocked.
"Don't understand?" Zuo Chong asked.
Chu Xiu calmed down and said slowly: "No matter what the situation is, I will not cut it."
Zuo Chong chuckled and nodded, "Me too."
Chu Xiu looked at Zuo Chong and asked, "The next thing should be related to you, right?"
"Pei Yiren has a younger sister." Zuo Chong said softly, "Fifteen years ago, she was less than five years old."
Chu Xiuruo realized something and said, "It's almost twenty years now."
Zuo Chong nodded, his eyes flashing brightly, "She looks exactly like Pei Yiren."
"Then what is her relationship with you?" Chu Xiu had some suspicions in his mind.
"She is my fiancée." Zuo Chong grinned, "We got engaged three years ago."
"Are you isolated because of your fiancée?" Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows lightly.
Zuo Chong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "That's probably not entirely true. I defeated His Highness Prince Ji with one shot five years ago."
"What is the relationship between His Royal Highness Prince Ji and the current emperor?" Chu Xiu asked.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji is the third legitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor." Zuo Chong introduced, "He is very favored, and His Majesty the Emperor allowed him to establish the Bird Guard in the palace, a secret guard composed of martial arts masters and dead soldiers. "
"That's it." Chu Xiu whispered, and then asked curiously, "Since you know that someone is targeting you, why don't you leave? With your strength, there is no place in the world where you can't control it?"
"The situation is very complicated." Zuo Chong said softly, "The most important thing is that Li Xianyuan has given me life-saving grace, nurturing grace, and support."
"This relationship is indeed a bit complicated." Chu Xiu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"In Daqian's law, there is a crime of consecutive sittings." Zuo Chong looked at Chu Xiu and said in a deep voice, "One of the things some people in the royal family like to do most is to implicate the innocent.
I live here and it definitely affects you. "
"It doesn't matter, I have the Vermillion Bird Order." Chu Xiu shook his head and looked at Zuo Chong, "As for you, it's best not to use your true energy recently."
Zuo Chong lowered his head to drink and remained silent.
"Tonight, you and I can sleep together." Chu Xiu said thoughtfully.
Duanmu Yaoyao and Tang Jiabao kept Zuo Qianhu here because they believed that the Suzaku Order could keep Zuo Qianhu.
Chu Xiu also wanted to see how effective the Vermillion Bird Token in his hand was.
"Bed together?" Zuo Chong hesitated for a moment.
Chu Xiu added: "I sleep on the bed and you make the floor. I am not used to sharing a bed with a man."
Zuo Chong smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders."
