"What do you think, princess?"
Qiu Dianjun asked rhetorically.
Lan Ling thought for a moment, put down the bowl, and analyzed carefully: "I believe that he will never go to a brothel again."
"How can you see it?" Qiu Dianjun asked again.
"The last time he was in Youzhou, the reason why he accidentally broke into Pinyu Pavilion was because he was drunk. He is very courageous once he is drunk!"
Qiu Dianjun immediately asked: "Why does the princess know that the Taiwei is particularly fat and courageous when he is drunk?"
Many scenes flashed before Lan Ling's eyes like a movie. Then she became angry and glared at Qiu Dianjun and scolded: "Why do you have so many questions today? That's just my guess."
"This slave deserves to die." Qiu Dianjun knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"That's all, it's not a big problem." Lanling waved his hand magnanimously, picked up the kuaizi again, but didn't eat it. He looked at Qiu Dianjun and asked again:
"What's your opinion? Is it possible for him to go to a brothel again?"
Qiu Dianjun thought for a while and replied: "Reporting to the princess, I thought... the Taiwei would still go to the brothel!"
"Why?" Lan Ling frowned.
The reason why she forced the twenty oirans on Su Xian was not only that Su Xian was their first man, but also for the purpose of "trapping Su Xian and preventing Su Xian from going to the brothel again."

Qiu Dianjun analyzed:
"Princess, a lieutenant is a man after all. No matter what kind of man he is, as long as he is powerful, he will never be satisfied with women. They tend to make more women."
"impossible!"
Lan Ling denied it and frowned:
"The Lieutenant is not that superficial. Besides, he has thin arms and legs. He can't handle more than a dozen women at home. He still has the energy to look for her outside?"
"If I remember correctly, he has one official wife, one common wife, one concubine, and twenty concubines, which adds up to twenty-three women."
"Twenty-three, even if there is only one bed attendant every day, he will only have seven or eight days of rest every month, not to mention he is not an "iron man"."
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly asked to see him outside.
Lan Ling composed himself, quickly put down the bowl, and ordered: "Come in."
"Yes." She was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Lan Ling, she bowed to the ground with a very respectful attitude.
"It's almost dark today, why do you come to see me at this time?" Lan Ling asked.
"Replying to the princess, news just came from below that the Taiwei... went to Beili Pinyu Pavilion!" The middle-aged woman was still lying on the ground, not daring to raise her head to look at Lan Ling's face.
"What did you say?!"
Lan Ling was shocked and jumped up, the ornaments on Peony's head trembling.
Her expression was extremely complicated, including shock, disbelief, and of course, more anger.
In this annoyance, there was both the embarrassment that she misjudged Su Xian and the embarrassment of being embarrassed in front of her subordinates.
Fortunately, Qiu Dianjun was a clever man. He quickly took two steps back and lowered his head to reduce his sense of presence. This really made Lan Ling feel much better.
"The Tai...the Taiwei went to...Beili Pinyu Pavilion!"
The middle-aged woman lying on the ground thought that Lan Ling really didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it with a trembling body.
Lan Ling calmed down quickly, with a majestic aura lingering all over his body, and waved to the middle-aged woman: "I know, you can go down first."
"yes."
After the middle-aged woman stepped back, Lan Ling looked sideways at Qiu Dianjun: "It seems that you guessed it right... Make the arrangements yourself and tell... Tang Shuwan about the prince's visit to the brothel!"
"yes."
Qiudian's army knew that Lan Ling was angry and did not dare to resist. After receiving the order, he quickly retreated.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, Lan Ling stopped her again: "In addition, I have ordered Pinyu Pavilion to treat you well. No matter what the Taiwei's request is, he must satisfy it. Do you understand?"
"yes."
Qiudian Jun once again accepted the order, then bowed and retreated.
However, as soon as she walked to the door, someone asked to see her again.
"Come in." There was a trace of anger in Lan Ling's tone. Qiu Dianjun inside and the servants outside the door did not dare to express their anger.
The door opened, and another middle-aged woman came into the room and said: "Princess Qi, the captain has left Beili Pinyu Pavilion without stopping!"
"Huh?" Lan Ling was startled.
Qiu Dianjun, who had just walked out of the room, was also stunned and stopped in place.
"The Taiwei...didn't stop at Pinyu Pavilion? He left soon?" Lan Ling confirmed.
"That's right, the Taiwei went to Pinyu Pavilion just to escort the two of them. They left after they were delivered to the Taiwei." the middle-aged woman replied.
"I know, you go down first, Qiu Dianjun comes in." Lan Ling breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief and sat back in the chair.
After a while, the middle-aged woman left, Qiu Dianjun entered the room, closed the door, walked to and stood in front of Lan Ling.
Lan Ling glanced sideways at her and said with a smile: "I'm just telling you that the Taiwei is not such a shallow man, so don't go to the Marquis Mansion to report the news."
"I obey the order. The princess is more powerful, but I guessed wrong." Qiu Dianjun also breathed a sigh of relief.
"..."
The other side.
It is said that after Su Xian left Beili, he rushed to a restaurant near the imperial city.
He made an appointment to meet.
The location is that restaurant.
The person he made an appointment with was none other than Yan Dashan, the "Mighty Duke" and "General Longwu" whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
In a closed box, Su Xian saw him.
Yan Dashan had already asked the waiter of the restaurant to prepare a sumptuous table of food and wine. When he saw Su Xian arriving, he knelt down on the ground without saying anything and said, "Meet my benefactor!"
Snapped!
Su Xian slapped his forehead.
He hurried forward to help Yan Dashan up and said silently:
"Dashan, how many times have I told you that you and I now are no longer the you and I we were in Hebei Province."
"Don't do this when there are no outsiders, otherwise it will definitely cause misunderstanding when others see you, and you won't be able to explain it at that time."
Yan Dashan's angular face with Chinese characters smiled innocently and said, "My dear friend, there are only you and me here. There are indeed no outsiders!"
Snapped!
Su Xian slapped his forehead again.
Then he corrected:
"Whether there are outsiders or not, don't do what I did just now. You can call me Taiwei or Marquis, and I will call you Duke or General. Remember not to make any mistakes again."
"Yes, benefactor, I remember."
"Um?"
"Oh...yes, Taiwei, I will remember it."
Su Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's right. Come sit down and let's chat while we eat."
The two sat down in front of the big round table, eating food and drinking while reminiscing about the past. Yan Dashan was a sweetheart, and he was filled with emotion when he recalled the days when he followed Su Xian.
For example, they once went to the mountains of Shu to look for Li Qingniu.
The road to Shu was difficult, and Li Qingniu's trace was even harder to find, but no matter what hardships he encountered, Yan Dashan always followed closely and never said a word of hardship.
Also, they once went north to the Liao Kingdom together to accomplish a great cause.
Needless to say, the dangers we experienced during it go without saying. Looking back now, it was really an extraordinary time...
Su Xian also sighed with emotion. Now he can still travel around the world, but there is no such opportunity in Dashan. He is now in charge of the Longwu Army and is very busy every day.
The two of them can no longer walk on the same path...
After reminiscing about old times, Su Xian changed the topic and asked, "Zhou Wei has been with you for a long time, right? But I don't know how he performed in the Longwu Army?"
Yan Dashan was shocked:
"Zhou Wei's performance is very good. He is very obedient and has made great progress. Not only me, but the old guys under me are also convinced by him."
This was far beyond Su Xian's expectation. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked again: "What do you think of Zhou Wei? I'm not talking about personal ability, but character."
Yan Dashan laughed and looked extremely happy:
"Zhou Wei is a gentleman! He is upright and upright. I admire him very much. If one day I unfortunately die in battle, he can take over my position, lead the Longwu Army, and inherit the legacy of my Yan Family Army!"
"puff!"
Su Xian almost spit out the food and wine he had just eaten. He looked at Yan Dashan with a look of shock and astonishment and asked, "Do you think Zhou Wei... is upright? Is he still a gentleman?"
He had heard someone say earlier that Zhou Wei was doing well in the Longwu Army camp, and Yan Dashan also valued him very much.
Just now, Yan Dashan personally admitted that he indeed valued Zhou Wei very much, and could even hand over the Longwu Army to Zhou Wei's hands and inherit the legacy of the Yan Family Army...
That's all.
What Su Xian never expected was that Zhou Wei would look like this in the eyes of Yan Dashan!
Upright?
Upright?
gentleman?
Ha ha ha ha!
Su Xian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but luckily he held it back in the end.
"Yes, could it be that the Taiwei has a different view?" Yan Dashan looked suspicious.
"I don't have any other opinion, just... I mean... well, if Zhou Wei makes some mistakes or does some bad things, such as visiting a brothel or something, what do you think?"
Su Xian asked carefully.
Yan Dashan shook his head like a rattle and denied: "Impossible. A gentleman like Zhou Wei can't go to a brothel. It's impossible!"
Su Xian hurriedly asked: "What if Zhou Wei really goes? What should you do?"
"If he really goes, I will beat him up!" Yan Dashan spoke loudly and raised his eyebrows, showing his majesty as the "Longwu General".
Su Xian frowned after hearing this: "If you think that people who go to brothels...can't be called gentlemen?"
Yan Dashan nodded solemnly and affirmed: "Of course, a gentleman cannot go to a place like a brothel!"
Su Xian's face immediately darkened and he said slowly: "Not long ago, in Youzhou, I also went to a brothel. So, do you think I am no longer a gentleman?"
"Uh...this..."
Yan Dashan was speechless for a moment.
The righteous words and majesty on his face disappeared in an instant, and he hurriedly bowed and apologized to Su Xian: "No, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to the en... Taiwei, I just wanted to say..."
Yan Dashan was not good at words, and he was very nervous at the moment. As a result, he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. He was as anxious as an ant crawling on a hot pot.
Su Xian suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Da Shan, don't be nervous, I know you didn't mean that."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lieutenant." Yan Dashan breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Xian calmed down and stared into Yan Dashan's eyes:
"Da Shan, how about we make a bet?"
"..."
Before dark, Su Xian returned to the Hou Mansion.
He went directly to the courtyard where Li Qingniu lived.
In the kitchen, Li Qingniu was holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand and an apron made of green cloth around his waist, guarding a small stove and boiling medicine.
Steam is rising from the clay pot, and the aroma of medicine is coming to your nostrils.
What he was boiling was anti-fetal medicine. In normal times, he wouldn't have to do anything like boiling medicine himself. After all, he was the miraculous doctor of Butterfly Valley.
However, it was his own flesh and blood, and Li Qingniu couldn't trust anyone. He was also afraid that others would be distracted while brewing the medicine, which would lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the medicine, so he had to do it himself.
"Hey, master is brewing medicine!"
Su Xian walked into the kitchen with a smile and a carefree look.
Li Qingniu looked back, and the beard at the corner of his mouth suddenly turned up.
No matter what he said, he was still his master, but this disciple refused to bow to him and instead kept teasing him, which made him mad to death.
Just before he was about to get angry, Su Xian suddenly straightened his face, bent down and bowed: "Greetings, Master!"
"Um."
Seeing this, Li Qingniu's anger gradually subsided. He turned around, shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand towards the stove, and asked impatiently:
"Why are you here again? Didn't you just come here once in the afternoon? Oh, by the way, your ladies all like the little gifts you brought back from Nanchen."
"It's fine, ladies and gentlemen, if you like it." Su Xian smiled and walked to the opposite side of the stove, facing Li Qingniu directly: "Master, you have worked hard to prepare the medicine, why don't you let me help you?"
"No need for your help!"
Li Qingniu refused. The reason why he boiled the medicine himself was to ensure its effectiveness and to ensure that it was foolproof. If he didn't want to do it, there would be a lot of people behind him rushing to help him.
However, when he looked up and found that Su Xian was just talking, with his hands behind his back and an expression of "watching a show" on his face, the old man became angry again and glared with two bull eyes:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Disciple, there is actually nothing important to do here. The main reason is to complain to the master." Su Xian replied.
"Sue? Who are you going to sue?" Li Qingniu was stunned and stopped with the cattail leaf fan in his hand.
"Yes, the person this disciple wants to sue is...junior brother, Zhou Wei!"
Li Qingniu stared at Su Xian for a long time, then lowered his head and continued to boil his medicine. At the same time, he waved his hand to shoo away the flies: "Master, I don't have time to chat with you. If you have time, you can go and see your master's wife."
Su Xian looked serious, pretending to be extremely disappointed, and said to himself:
"Master doesn't know something. Junior brother and I are on our way to Haizhou and Nanchen this time... eh, it makes me sad to say it. Master, I will bring junior brother back in two days. You, old man, can teach me personally."
"What do you mean by this? By the way, where is your junior brother?" Li Qingniu looked around, and his eyes finally fixed on Su Xian's face.
"Master, I'm not a senior brother in vain. Junior brother, it's just that he didn't listen to me. On the way, he actually... actually fell in love with a girl, wanted to occupy her, and threatened not to come back, eh!" Su Xian shook his head. .
"Is there such a thing?" Li Qingniu obviously didn't believe it.
"Junior brother not only refused to listen to my advice, but also wanted to fight me... Fortunately, Zhilan was there. Not only that, junior brother ended up going to a brothel and refused to leave..." Su Xian continued to shake his head.
"Nonsense!" Li Qingniu glared:
"Your junior brother has already gone to the Longwu Army Camp to gain experience, and his bad habits have long been corrected. It is impossible for him to seize women from good families, let alone hang out in a brothel!"
"Master, don't believe it?" Su Xian looked incredulous.
"Come on, come on, don't hang around here."
Not only did Li Qingniu not believe it, he even waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand to drive away the people. Su Xian hid and ran away, shouting: "Master, you have to believe me..."
