In the north of Suzhou City, while the military and civilians were having a banquet, in a gorgeous and exquisite restaurant located on the east bank of the canal in Suzhou City, a banquet that was a hundred times more luxurious than the banquet in the north was also being held.
Sitting next to the banquet were three uncles and nephews from the Gu family, Gu Zhitu, Gu Zhiyao and Gu Zhiyuan's son Gu Yaode.
In the box, a singer with a pipa in her arms was singing a piece of music softly with her hands, and the three uncles and nephews were listening to the music while shaking their heads.
"Anuya moved the green poplar trees to the backyard. Learn to dance on the waist of the palace. The green in February is still short. It's not as far away as Baling. The remaining silk is scattered on the east and west coast. A few leaves of small eyebrows are cold and unexplored. Don't sing Yangguan, you are really a intestine. Break it off first. Take a closer look at "Fan Fu" and "Chun Xiu", and you will see that every piece of it is full of resentment..." The pipa ding-dong, the singing voice is graceful, and matched with the pipa girl's resentful expression and the twitching of her red lips, it makes people feel infinite emotions. Love and reverie.
"Okay!" After the song ended, Gu Yaode cheered loudly, clasping his hands, his eyes blazing, wishing to penetrate the pipa girl's thin clothes and see her tall and strong collar.
"This little song makes the listener's heart feel like chicken feathers are tickling it, and it feels soothing to the pores. Second uncle and third uncle, is this little girl a singer in that red house? How come my nephew has never seen her before?" Gu Yaode asked loudly.
Gu Zhitu chuckled and said: "Yao De, you haven't seen much of the world. Suzhou City is so big, and you haven't been to many good places yet. Don't think that Suzhou City only has good singers from big places like Qiushui Pavilion." Her singing voice, look at this one, although she is not famous, her singing is no worse than those charming girls in Qiushui Pavilion. How about it? It’s just an eye-opener." Gu Yaode nodded repeatedly, staring at the pipa girl's body. , Swallowing his saliva, he said: "That's right, my second uncle has walked more roads than my nephew has crossed more bridges. My second uncle has seen countless people, how can my nephew compare? My nephew is incomparable to you. My grandfather stares at me every day and wants to I study, practice martial arts, calligraphy and painting, etc. How can I have time to wander outside every day! My grandfather wouldn’t let me live in this wonderful place like Suzhou City. It’s said that the place with fireworks and willow alleys is the most draining of people’s will. He said that if he saw me messing around in Suzhou city, he would beat me with a bamboo stick." Gu Zhitu and Gu Zhiyao looked at each other and laughed.
Gu Yaode said aggrievedly: "You are still laughing. How can you still laugh when your nephew is so miserable? People outside say how bad my Gu family is, thinking that we are living a life like gods. Who would have known that I, the grandson of Gu, am worse off than a child?" dog."
"Bah, how can you talk? You call yourself a dog, so what are your third uncle and me? Are you looking for a fight?" Gu Zhitu spat.
Gu Yaode apologized and said with a smile: "My nephew said something wrong. I will punish myself with three cups of wine, right? By the way, second uncle and third uncle, who is this singer? Let me introduce her to my nephew." Gu Zhiyao spat: "Look With your virtue, wouldn't you ask her yourself?" Gu Yaode chuckled and said, "I'm afraid she belongs to the two uncles. Wouldn't it be rude for my nephew to ask?" Gu Zhitu smiled and scolded: "I am here for you today. You invited her here, and you can take her to Happiness in a while."
"Are you serious?" Gu Yaode said happily. Gu Zhitu scolded: "Second uncle, can you still lie to you?" Gu Yaode was overjoyed. He left the table and came to the singer. He stretched out his hand to lift her chin and said with a smile, "What's your name?" The singer winked and said sweetly. : "Didn't I sing it? I'll call you Anu." Gu Yaode felt extremely itchy and chuckled: "Oh, that's not mine anymore. Anu, Anu, what a pitiful name. I'll tell you later." Master, please take good care of you, okay?" The pipa girl said softly, "Young master, you are so shy when you talk." Gu Yaode was so happy that he rubbed his hands together and leaned over to kiss him.
Gu Zhitu coughed and said, "Yao De, why are you so unimproved? She is yours tonight, but you don't want to be so ungrateful." Gu Yaode hurriedly let go of his hand, returned to the table, picked up the wine glass and continued After drinking three large cups, he said: "My nephew is wrong again, I will punish you with three more cups." Gu Zhitu waved his hand, and the pipa girl stood up and left. Gu Yaode stared at her round back and disappeared behind the curtain outside the door, and then turned back. God comes.
"Second uncle and third uncle, why did you invite your nephew out for a drink today? You also gave your nephew such a beautiful thing to enjoy. How can your nephew deserve such an honor?" Gu Yaode finally remembered the doubts in his heart and asked with a smile.
Gu Zhitu chuckled and said: "You heartless person, don't your second and third uncles treat you badly on weekdays? They secretly take you out every now and then to have fun, and you got scolded by the old man a lot because of this. Weren't you still complaining about your life just now? Aren't you happy? Your third uncle and I both saw it, so while the city was noisy these days and your grandfather had no time to care about you, he took you out to enjoy it. "
"Second uncle and third uncle, it's better that you treat me well. My nephew will keep this in mind. Come on, Yaode will toast you two elders." Gu Yaode toasted to Gu Zhitu and Gu Zhiyao diligently, and the three of them drank.
Gu Zhitu wiped the drink from his mouth and continued: "In addition, your third uncle and I have thought about something big and want to discuss it with you. You are the future head of my Gu family, and we think there are some things that we should let you know. ." Gu Yaode hurriedly said: "Second and third uncles, just say it." Gu Zhitu said: "Okay, let's get straight to the point. Do you know who Captain Li is?" Gu Yaode frowned and said: "Who is he? Isn't he just a captain of the Chu army?" Gu Zhitu shook his head and said: "Silly nephew, you don't know anything. This man is not a captain, he is the emperor of Chu and the invincible commander-in-chief of the Chu army, Li Li. Source."
"What? Gu Yaode was so shocked that he dropped a piece of bracken on his chopsticks, and said with a shocked look on his face: "Is he Li Yuan? He, he, he, that little captain is the emperor of Chu? Are you kidding me? "
"Who are you kidding? It's absolutely true. In fact, your grandfather had already discovered his identity. Ji Qing, the magistrate of Changzhou County, also came here to report the matter last night. Li Yuan blew himself up in Changzhou, and Ji Qing He came to tell us his true identity." Gu Zhiyao said solemnly.
Gu Yaode slapped his chopsticks on the table and whispered: "Second uncle and third uncle, this guy is the emperor of a country! Then my Gu family has found a treasure. At the moment, Li Yuan's Chu army is trying to unify the Tang Dynasty's homeland. If we kill or capture Li Yuan, the Chu Kingdom will definitely be in chaos, and then I, Wu Yue, will get a big advantage! In this way, my Gu family will also make great contributions." Gu Zhitu nodded and said: "It is indeed my Gu family A person who can reveal secrets with just one word. This is an excellent opportunity for my Gu family to soar into the sky. Once Li Yuan dies, it will definitely stir up the world! If Li Yuan can be killed, let alone the king’s treatment of my Gu family I must rely on you with all my strength, and the day when my Gu family will be revived is right in front of me."
"Then why are you hesitating? Arrange manpower quickly and kill him without anyone noticing." Gu Yaode shouted.
Gu Zhitu sighed and said, "It's easy to say, but some people don't let us do this."
"Who? Yingying? I knew there was something not simple between her and Li Yuan. Can we leave this matter to her?" Gu Yaode shouted.
