May you live in peace

Chapter 31 Chapter 31

At night, because he couldn't resist Li Da's enthusiasm, Gao Shan had to take Yabai to Sizhaolou, the best restaurant in the capital, for dinner.

In a small private room, Li Da, Dou Lian, Lin Tai and Kan Ze had already sat down and waited.When Gao Shan entered, he apologized for a while before sitting down.

At night, the capital city is brightly lit, and the bustling streets are full of men and women performing acrobatics, hawking, and walking singing. Only at night in summer can people feel comfortable and entertained.

"Shanzi, congratulations on marrying the eldest princess first, and congratulations on your promotion to the official position." Li Da smiled happily. Although he didn't like the flattery of the officialdom, he also hoped to make contributions.He knew that his brother was in love with the eldest princess. From the battlefield, the rescue and the teahouse, he knew that Gao Shan liked the unattainable golden branch and jade leaf.At first I thought it was impossible for the two to be together, but I didn't expect that the eldest princess also had a heart for Shanzi. The two were in love with each other, and Li Da was also happy and blessed.

Elder Dou also nodded, he watched Yin Xi grow up, although she troubled himself to do something for a while, during which time he didn't see her for two years.By the time we meet again, the kid is already an excellent ruler.Gao Shan and him are children who have lived under the same roof for nearly a month. He knows that this child treats people sincerely and is considered a good person.Although he doesn't like to participate in political affairs, he also knows that if this child is for Yin Xi, he will try hard.

Several people persuaded each other to drink again, in order to enjoy themselves.Gao Shan asked Kan Ze about Liu Han's situation, and Kan Ze told her that the kid didn't want to stay in the capital. Coincidentally, the imperial court had asked if anyone was willing to go to the southwest region in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds. Liu Han hired himself and was arranged In Jiangzhou, he became a military supervisor.

Several people feel a little sorry, after all, they are all people who survived on the same battlefield, but they are also happy for him, and have served as an army supervisor.

Just when several people were in high spirits, there was noise outside, which seemed to be a quarrel.The forces behind Sizhaolou have never been simple. No one has ever dared to make trouble here. In the past, a new Jinshi went wild here after drinking, and was exiled not long after.Therefore, it is really daring for someone to cause trouble here tonight.

"Guy, please don't embarrass me. There are already guests in this private room, please be considerate."

"Go away."

The voice outside was somewhat familiar, and Takasugi vaguely remembered the owner of the voice.

The door was pushed open, and at first glance, they were all acquaintances.

The leader is Yin Yao, the son of the current king of Chu, who is arrogant by nature. It seems that he should be the one who made trouble just now.The man next to him was slender and muscular, but his face was always somber, with no expression on his face.Gao Shan had met him a few times, he was Pan Chan, the current number one scholar, and editor of the Tribute Academy.A little further behind, there are a few official sons, Gao Shan remembers these people, among them the most familiar one is Xiao Fu.

When Yin Yao saw Gao Shan, remembering what happened last time, he felt uncomfortable. He saw that there were not many familiar people around him, and the only person with an official position should be this man named Li Da.

"I didn't know it was the son-in-law here. I'm sorry." Seeing that it was Gao Shan, Pan Chan deliberately emphasized the word "son-in-law" in his tone, and slightly rolled his eyes at Xiao Fu's eyes, seeing the flash of resentment in his eyes.It seems that this person can also be pulled over.

Gao Shan gave Yin Yao a little salute, and when he lowered his head, he still frowned, this Zhuangyuan Lang didn't know her well, so why such polite words?

Yin Yao thought that this person used to contradict him on the street, but now that he is a son-in-law, it is a turnaround.Thinking about it, even if he can't get it back clearly, let him know what will happen to him if he offends him.

"I don't know that the person sitting here is actually the newly recruited son-in-law of the eldest princess. This son-in-law has disturbed the elegance of the son-in-law. Since we are destined to meet here today, why don't we have a drink together?"

Takasugi raised his eyebrows, didn't you bring someone in?

Seeing that the group of people outside were almost all young masters who were officials in the same dynasty, although Yin Yao smiled, she could still see the contempt in her eyes.Seeing the different expressions of the people behind him, he thought that this prince of Chu is a famous little-bellied and vengeful man, so he would invite her, maybe it wasn't a friendly visit.

"Thank you for your kindness, son, but the private room is still small, and I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many people."

"It's okay, as long as my son and Bo Si go in." As if completely ignoring Gao Shan's expression of wanting to refuse, he took the first step and let the young master behind him make arrangements for himself, and then stepped into the private room.

Seeing this situation, Takasugi had no choice but to ask people to fill up two seats to see what they were going to do.

"The son-in-law has offended you a lot in the past few days, and I still look forward to the concubine Haihan." Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Pan Chan opened his mouth first, and Yin Yao gave him a strange look. Seeing the deepness in his eyes, he nodded to Gao Shan and apologized, He drank the wine in one gulp.

Takasugi wondered what the two men were planning, but just followed his words and waited and watched.

"I've heard that the son-in-law is talented and skilled. Today is the first time that Pan has had such close contact with the son-in-law. He is really a talent."

Yin Yao also nodded in praise and said, "Yes, I heard that the folks have a high opinion of the son-in-law, but Yufeng used to be a dude, how offended."

"Don't dare, Gao Shan is a vulgar person, how can he be so talented. If he is lucky enough to have a good relationship with his son, it will be considered an honor."

Yin Yao smiled, thinking in his heart, if he could win over Gao Shan, then he would be able to know the details of the eldest princess.

"Since the son-in-law is so straightforward, why don't you become brothers with me and treat each other with courtesy?"

Looking at Yin Yao's posture of getting up, there is clearly contempt in his eyes, but he wants to behave like this.Gao Shan thought about the reason why he did this, and guessed that there was only one explanation, the man's eyes were not on himself, but on his wife who was about to marry, the eldest princess Yin Xi.

"Your Majesty, this is insulting me. I'm a vulgar person, how can I make friends with Your Majesty?"

Yin Yao stood up and brought the wine to Gao Shan.

"Why should the son-in-law be polite to me? After all, I'm still the eldest princess's cousin. If you don't dislike me, we can still support each other as brothers."

With an extra hand on his shoulder, Gao Shan's shoulder stiffened, and he quickly calmed down.It seems that he came to find himself, wanting to win over his relationship, or have multiple spies around the eldest princess?

Takasugi stood up, picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"If the son really has such a heart, it is my honor. Gao Shan is just a commoner and a reckless man. Fortunately, he is loved by the royal family. If the son is willing to join Gao Shan, we will serve the emperor and assist His Majesty in governing the country of Hao."

What Gao Shan said was very cryptic, her tone only mentioned assisting Emperor Hao Guo to rule the world, but everyone knows that the ruler of the current imperial court is the Eldest Princess Yin Xi.Gao Shan's tone is obviously telling Yin Yao, if you are like yourself, facing the court, then we are one army, if not, then there is no need to talk.

How could Yin Yao fail to understand the meaning, the hand holding the cup was tightly squeezed, and a Zhonglang general came to warn him.

Pan Chan smiled and tugged Yin Yao to calm him down. He looked at Gao Shan with a bit of obscurity in his eyes. He didn't expect that this beggar son-in-law, since he still had some skills, seemed to have underestimated him.

"The son-in-law is really loyal, and Pan respects it." He held up the wine and gestured to himself.

Gao Shan squinted at this person, he knew that the current number one scholar is on good terms with the prince, but seeing that this person's ups and downs are not shallow, how could he seek trouble with this person.

"Pan Xiu won the award."

Pan Chan looked at Yin Yao and gestured for his position.

"I am waiting for the imperial court. But Yufeng still hopes to be friends with the son-in-law. Come, bring someone."

As soon as Yin Yao finished speaking, a savage came in outside, bringing a young girl with him, who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.Gao Shan looked at the child, as well as Yin Yao, suspiciously, and saw that he had a strange expression and a sinister smile.

"This is a meeting gift from Yufeng to the son-in-law. She was snatched by Hao Guo's soldiers from Beidi people in Youzhou. If the son-in-law likes her, she can be a servant girl or a roommate."

In the past few days, there have been rumors in the capital that Gao Shan brought a girl back to the Mu Mansion. No one knows the origin of the girl, only that the clothes were tattered when she was brought back.Some people speculated that this was Gao Shan's maid brought back, while others said that this was Gao Shan's lover outside, and the young master in the capital added fuel and jealousy, which caused a small disturbance.Some people are familiar with Takasugi, so they don't believe that the Habayashi Supervisory Committee is such a person.Some also expressed disdain, marrying the current princess is not enough, and they are still looking for someone outside.Yin Yao made this move because he believed that Gao Shan was a hypocrite and a womanizer.After all, Gao Shan's background is low, and he didn't explain anything to the folk rumors, besides, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines, so it's possible that if he marries a princess, he will be alone for a lifetime?So he sent this person to Gao Shan, firstly to pull him in, after all he had seen this person before, he was beautiful and beautiful, no one would not love him.The second is to put people by his side, it is best to get some news.

Gao Shan's expression has never been better since Yin Yao came in. Looking at the girl that this man forced, his face became even more stinky. What is he going to do?

"My lord, what does this mean?"

Yin Yao thought that he was playing tricks on him on purpose, so he pushed the girl forward, "I still don't see General Zhonglang."

The woman glanced at Gao Shan with a numb face, Gao Sugi was taken aback, why did this person look so familiar, where did he seem to have seen it?

Seeing her in a daze, Yin Yao thought she had fallen in love with this child, and laughed in his heart, but on the surface he was urging the girl.

"Ma Yi, the criminal, has met General Gao."

Seeing her kneeling in front of him, Gao Shan was still knocking loudly, so she quickly stood up and said to Yin Yao.

"Thank you for your love, but Gaoshan has a heart for the eldest princess, and he will only marry the princess in this life. I hope your son understands."

Takasugi's face was serious, but it made the two people on the opposite side look at her strangely.

"If the son-in-law is embarrassed, this son-in-law can send someone to send her in through the back door." Yin Yao thought that he couldn't accept it directly, and because there were so many people talking, he might be worried about rumors in the market.

Seeing that Gao Shan's complexion was not good, Li Da was also surprised, since he said no, why did he insist on it.

"My son, Gao Shan really loves the eldest princess, and I hope my son can understand."

Yin Yao watched Li Da interrupt, and flicked his sleeves, "I'm talking to Gao Shan, when is it your turn to talk to me?"

"My lord, this man is my brother, the Secretary Lang who was rewarded for his meritorious service. I hope your lord can respect him a little bit."

The sarcasm in Gao Shan's tone made Yin Yao's face change, especially the word 'because of merit', which was even more sarcasm.

"Ashan, take this girl back." Dou Lian's words made everyone stunned, and they looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Dou Lian looked at this child named Ma Yi with a very serious expression. She looked too much like Mu Changfeng.

Gao Shan saw a trace of request in Dou Lian's eyes, thinking that Mr. Dou must have a reason for wanting this child to go back with her, after thinking about it, he agreed.

Yin Yao smiled, since he brought his own people back, he had fulfilled his purpose.

The rest of the meal was very dull, and almost no one spoke.Gao Shan ordered the child to be sent back to Mufu first, she kept watching Dou Lian, seeing that his expression became heavy since seeing the child, as if remembering the past, frowning from time to time.

The people here eat all kinds of flavors, and in the private room next to them, Yin Xi looks at Yin Luo and Gao Jianping who are sitting beside her with a smile on her face.

Yin Luo was eating her own food, while Gao Jianping carefully observed her movements and expressions.Very gentle, but definitely hiding a big heart.

Yin Xi listened to the conversation on the other side without saying a word, but unexpectedly, the king of Chu stretched out his hand to his side.Thinking about the child that Dou Lian asked someone to bring back, this old man has not participated in the affairs of the court for a long time, since he can bring back a person, it seems that the matter is not easy.

"Emperor Sister?" Yin Luo looked at Yin Xi with a teasing expression on her face. She didn't expect that since Yin Yao wanted to fill Gao Shan with a servant, he probably sent him a woman, but secretly wanted this person to replace her. He works.

Looking at the teasing in Yin Luo's eyes, he knew what was going on in the child's mind.

"Eat." While reprimanding in a low voice, he secretly said in his heart, Yin Yao, since you want to win over your son-in-law, it also depends on whether you have the strength.

"General Gao." Looking at Gao Jianping who was sitting upright, he shouted.

"exist."

"Hasn't the matter been found out yet?"

Gao Jianping frowned, but he was a little annoyed that his ability to do things had deteriorated.

He stayed in the border country all the time, firstly to help Yin Xi complete her military arrangement, secondly to investigate the movements of the generals in the border country, and finally, and most importantly, to investigate what happened in the teahouse that day.As a result, after so long, those people seemed to have disappeared, and they never acted here again.Moreover, all the people and things about hiding the weapons privately at that time all disappeared overnight.

Looking at his expression, Yin Xi also guessed the follow-up.Thinking that this person can hide in such a remote place, but your goal is the supreme position that everyone yearns for.

The night is getting darker, and a diffuse rise rises, as if it is going to rain.The sound of cicadas lingering in the capital made people feel irritable, but some people became calmer.

An old man in shabby clothes stood downstairs of Sizhao, looking at the lively atmosphere in the building, as if he was looking for something.

"Where is the beggar, don't hurry up."

The old man stroked his gray beard, took a last look at the roof, which was the private room of Takasugi and the others, sighed, and left.

Dou Lian pushed open the window, breathed in the fresh air, saw the hunched figure with a flicker of his eyes, his pupils shrank, and he turned around and went downstairs.

The people around crowded the street, and the figure had long since disappeared, and he sighed in his heart.I'm afraid I have identified the wrong person, that person has been dead for more than 20 years.
