Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"..." Hearing this, Dou Shilun gave the other party a deep look: "Old Yu, are you really going to show up in front of everyone?"

"Then what else can we do? Lai Huer, that old dog, is now only sleeping in his old house in Longyou. But we can't blame him. His two sons are both promising and have made great achievements in their studies. If he shows up, won't it cause more trouble?" Yu Zan said, standing up from his seat and then walking out: "Is the carriage ready?"

"Yu Gong..." Dou Shilun saw that the other party had made up his mind. He could only pray silently in his heart: I hope Yu Gong can control his temper this time...

Dou Shilun still thought that Yuzan was too simple...

To be honest, the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has such an explosive temper is more or less related to Yu Zan, the old butler who has been plucking snacks from him since he was a child.

Half an hour later, at Duke Shen's Mansion.

"Who are you?" In the lobby of Gao's mansion, Gao Shilian looked at the burly old man introduced to him by Dou Shilun. He always felt that the other person looked familiar, but... he couldn't remember who he was.

"Lord Gao is now a Duke, and is no longer the Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty. So it is reasonable that after so many years, Lord Gao would not recognize me, Yu Zan, the former Sui Dynasty General who should have died long ago, even in person..." Yu Zan smiled as usual when he heard this, but Gao Shilian's expression changed immediately.

"You are Yu Zan?! You are not dead?!" Gao Shilian stood up in shock: "How dare Yu Juluo deceive the emperor?!"

“Heh…” Seeing Gao Shilian trying to trick him, Yu Zan sneered and said with disdain, “Gao Shilian, you are now a duke of the Tang Dynasty, and you still have the nerve to talk about deceiving the emperor in front of me? People don’t know what happened to me back then, but you don’t? Yang Guang was just worried that we two brothers had a lot of military power, so he picked a random excuse to take my life, and then used this as an excuse to strip my eldest brother of his military power! How ridiculous… How ridiculous that his conspiracy finally succeeded, how ridiculous that he ended up tying himself up in knots… Hahaha…”

There was a hint of sadness in Yu Zan's laughter.

After a long time, the laughter gradually died down.

Gao Shilian's voice sounded again, but this time, he had regained his composure: "Why did Mr. Yu come to see me?"

"I am not here to settle accounts with you today, but to remind you: Don't get too close to the Five Surnames and Seven Families in the future." Seeing that Gao Shilian had finally behaved, Yu Zan also started to talk about business: "Of course, the account with His Royal Highness the King of Chu..."

"Yu Zan, everyone in the world is surnamed Li now!" Gao Shilian saw Yu Zan threatening him, and he immediately became gloomy and said, "And are all of you done yet? You rush to threaten me?"

"How could I threaten you, Lord Gao..." Yu Zan changed his previous fierce nature in front of Dou Shilun and began to act like a kind old man: "Now Yu Zan is just a commoner, an old thief with a long beard, how can I have the courage to threaten you, a great duke..."

"Heh..." Although Gao Shilian knew that Yu Zan was deliberately disgusting him, in fact... were there any mistakes in what he said? At the beginning, Gao Shilian had to bow solemnly to Yu Zan whenever he saw him, let alone Yu Juluo. If Yu Zan could respond with a look or a nod, it would be considered as fulfilling his courtesy.

now……

I have to say, the taste of power is truly fascinating.

Gao Shilian felt a little proud when he thought of this: "Ah Fu, the tea is cold, change it!"

"Yes, Duke..." Ah Fu, the servant standing outside the door, heard the Duke's call and immediately took the teapot from the maid standing not far away. Then he walked into the house and began to pour tea for the Duke and his distinguished guests.

"Yu Zan, whether you can do it or not, I really didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Chu to say such a thing." Gao Shilian let the servant pour tea for himself and Yu Zan, and said in a haughty tone: "If I were to say, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still too young and hot-tempered. He dares to say anything..."

"Gao Shilian, did the Lord give you face?" Yu Zan didn't want to fall out with him so quickly, but he actually dared to bring up the young master. Damn it - if it weren't for the fact that Gao Shilian was the uncle of Empress Changsun, this old man would have died many times: "It's really not your turn to comment on how the head of my Dou family is. Gao Shilian, you don't really think... forget it... you like to curry favor with the five surnames and seven families?"

“You…” Gao Shilian didn’t expect Yu Zan to change his face so quickly: “You old dog! What’s your business?! And you!” Gao Shilian said, and then turned his gaze to Dou Shilun, who had hardly spoken today: “Dou Shilun, I’ve given you face!”

Despite being scolded by Gao Shilian, Dou Shilun's face did not show any fluctuation.

Yu Zan, on the other hand, slowly raised the teacup in his hand.

"Who gives whom face?" Suddenly, a voice that Gao Shilian was very familiar with sounded in his ears.

Gao Shilian just realized that the person who said this was neither Yu Zan nor Dou Shilun, but...

Ah Fu, the servant who poured tea for him just now!

Ah Fu was a family-born child. His parents were sold to the Gao family, so he was a servant from birth.

Ah Fu has been working in the mansion since he could remember. If you count carefully, it has been nearly twenty years now, and even his parents have passed away.

So Gao Shilian never expected that Ah Fu would suddenly say this.

"Afu you?!" Gao Shilian just turned his gaze to this inconspicuous servant, but the next moment.

"Bang!" Gao Shilian's head was pressed hard on the coffee table by this servant who was once loyal to him.

"Pah!" The servant picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the table under Gao Shilian's head, almost touching his cheek: "Duo!"

At this moment, Gao Shilian was frightened to death by this move!

"Duke," Ah Fu held Gao Shilian with one hand and held the dagger with the other, and said indifferently, "My parents told me since I was a child that I was loyal to the Dou family. If it weren't for the help of the old lady, many people in my parents' family would have died in natural disasters or wars. So I only need to do one thing well in this life, and that is to regard myself as a loyal servant of the Gao family and live my life. Unless..."

Unless something happens, I believe Gao Shilian has seen it now.

"Duke Shen, what do you think?" Yu Zan was obviously not surprised by Ah Fu's appearance. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Gao Shilian with a half-smile: "If you knew how far-sighted and resourceful the old lady was back then, I think even if you had ten thousand guts, you would not dare to provoke His Royal Highness the King of Chu. But to be honest, the old lady has passed away for many years, so Gao Shilian, do you want to try again now?

We can ignore the previous incident."
