"Yan Wan, forget it, I'm not going." Cen Liuniang lowered her head aggrieved upon hearing this.

Du Yanwan didn't agree, she gave Wei Xiaowan a look, and pulled her away.

Wei Xiaoqing stomped his feet fiercely, pulled Wei Xiaowan and said, "Sister, we haven't congratulated Brother Ninth yet. Let's go together."

Wei Xiaowan was sad and didn't want to go.Looking at Du Yansui's tall and straight body, he followed Wei Xiaoqing and left the table unconsciously.

Du Yansui was surrounded by a group of friends pouring wine, saw his younger sister walking with a beautiful woman, and felt familiar, when he heard Cen Liuniang call him crisply: "Brother-in-law!"

Du Yansui coughed when he heard the words, which made everyone laugh.

He remembered that this tall and beautiful woman was none other than Liu Niang of the Cen family.

Du Yanwan hurriedly introduced: "She is the sixth mother of the Cen family, the cousin of the third mother."

Du Yansui pretended to be ignorant and bowed his head in salute.

"Brother Du Jiu, are you okay? I'm going to call my brother-in-law sooner or later." Cen Liuniang said mischievously.

Du Yansui was feeling embarrassed when Wei Xiaowan interjected: "Brother Du Jiu, congratulations."

Wei Xiaowan looked at Du Yansui with a pair of wonderful eyes, with anger and resentment.

Du Yansui couldn't help feeling a headache, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you, sister Wei."

After speaking, he quietly kicked Li Shangzhi with his foot.

It is well known that Wei Xiaowan likes him, Li Shangzhi raised a bottle of wine winkingly and made a fuss: "Du Jiu, you are not allowed to hide your secrets today. The emperor gave you a marriage, and you have not yet passed my test. You want to marry my cousin. Depends on how much you drink."

Du Yansui secretly glared at him, but in desperation had no choice but to take the wine bottle and drink freely, which attracted bursts of applause.

"Brother Du Jiu, I respect you too." Cen Liuniang picked up the wine bottle and poured him another bowl of wine with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Someone asked me to bring you a message. He lives in the Fulai Inn in Huaiyuanfang, please You are free to find him."

Du Yansui was startled, and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp: "Why is that man looking for me?"

Cen Liuniang moved closer and said with a voice like a gnat, "I'll know when Brother Du Jiu goes."

Du Yansui backed away calmly, his arm was suddenly held by someone, but it was Du Jingshu.

"Brother Ninth, you told me to find you easily. I have something to do with you, so follow me." She dragged Du Yansui out.

Du Yanwan looked at her and was about to speak, but Du Jingshu made a strange face at her: "Qiniang, we'll be back in a while." Without any explanation, she dragged Du Yansui away.

As soon as Du Yansui left, Wei Xiaoqing said: "I'm happy to say it, and people will recognize it. Sister, let's go too." He glanced at Cen Liuniang and the young princes around her who were attracted by her, and taunted her plainly. The original intention was not to get to know Du Yansui.

Cen Liuniang pretended not to understand, and sat beside Du Yanwan chatting happily with the young masters around her.

Wei Xiaowan took a deep look at her, and pulled Wei Xiaoqing back: "Sister, let's go. I'm tired."

After leaving the banquet, Du Jingshu let go of her hand: "Sanniang asked me to tell you, be careful of Cen Liuniang. But I think Qiniang likes her very much. Ninth brother, should I remind my sister?"

"No need. Yan Wan has a straightforward temper, but she can't rub the sand in her eyes. Tell her now, firstly, there is nothing wrong with Cen Liuniang, and secondly, Yanwan has to get to the bottom of it. If only she was half as clever as you." Du Yan Sui looked at Du Jingshu dotingly. "I still have something to do, let's take a step first. Later, you will apologize to Li Shangzhi for me."

Du Jingshu nodded sensiblely: "Okay."

Du Yansui quietly left Li's residence, thinking about Cen Liuniang's words and Sanniang's reminder, he became suspicious of the person who asked him to meet.

Huaiyuanfang is close to West Market.Outside the square is Yong'an Canal.

West Market is the starting point of the Silk Road.Merchants from Central Asia, South Asia, Silla, Goguryeo, Japan and other countries gathered here.

Huaiyuan Square has convenient transportation, and there are people of all kinds living here, so it is very suitable for hiding.

Merchants gather, and Fulai Inn is a time-honored chariot and horse shop.The street is a restaurant.Entering is an extremely wide quadrangle courtyard with two floors.The backyard is also an enclosed building, twice the size of the front yard, with stables and stables, and two rows of guest rooms for the coachman and his servants.

The front door of the inn is facing Fangjian Avenue and facing Yong'an Canal on the side.In the backyard, there is a small wharf for docking boats along the Yong'an Canal, which is convenient for the transportation of goods.

Du Yansui put on a round-neck gown with arrow sleeves, untied the Qianniu sword, and changed the handle of the sword.He stood in the wing room on the second floor, and he could see the Fulai Inn opposite Yong'an Canal through the window.

"General, four brothers have already moved in. The restaurant is also guarded by a different person. As long as the signal is issued, the Chang'an State Government Yamen will mobilize government soldiers to seal Huaiyuanfang." A Qianniuwei reported.

"Keep an eye on the wharf and the boats outside the Fulai Inn. Follow my signal." Du Yansui ordered, raised her sword and went downstairs.

It's just an instinct.Du Yansui intuitively determined that the person waiting for him at the Fulai Inn had a lot of background.Cen Liuniang came from Hongzhou, either from Prince Teng's residence, or Feng Zhong who had absconded.

Du Yansui was not afraid of King Teng, he was worried that it was Feng Zhong who came.

Back then, his second uncle was involved in the rebellion against the abolished prince, and his whole family was beheaded.After his father was demoted, all his hopes were placed on Du Yansui to find a teacher for him.Feng Zhong is a master of martial arts, so he entered the mansion and became his master.

The Tiance Mansion was built when the first emperor was King Qin.Li Jiancheng has Changlin Army under his command.The Changlin Army is not inferior to the Tiance Army in terms of force. Feng Zhong is the leader of the Changlin Army, and he is loyal to Li Jiancheng.He secretly formed a hidden guard, bent on finding Li Jiancheng's hidden property and taking revenge.

Du Ruhui, Du Yansui's grandfather, made suggestions in the killing of Li Jiancheng.However, after his death, Mrs. Du's honor did not fade.The fate of the two sons was very miserable.

Feng Zhong taught Du Yansui that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and use the Du family's power to achieve his goals.He didn't expect that Du's father was sent out of Chang'an and exiled to a remote mountainous area to be unhappy, but what he thought in his heart was how to restore the Du family to the former glory, and he had no resentment towards the emperor.Feng Zhong happened to be the stepping stone that came to his door.Father Du, Feng Zhongxu and Wei Snake asked Du Yansui to show his loyalty to the late emperor with the Tiance sword when he was dying.

Du Yansui found out that Cen Sanniang was holding the gold hairpin, and set up a trap to destroy Feng Zhong's many years of management.Feng Zhong escaped alone, hating Du Yansui to the bone.

When we meet again, it will definitely be an endless situation.

Du Yansui took a deep breath and walked into the inn.Sweeping his eyes across the lobby, he saw two Qianniuwei who were having a drink.He looked away, and Xiao Er came up to meet him: "Dining in a guest house or staying in a hotel?"

"My surname is Du. I'm here to find someone." Du Yansui replied kindly.

Xiao Er's eyes lit up: "Mr. Du, please come inside."

Du Yansui followed behind him and asked casually, "How long has that man been waiting for me?"

Xiao Er replied with a smile: "It's been two or three days. Don't worry, young master, Xiao's mouth is tight."

After stepping on the stairs, Du Yansui froze, took out an ingot of broken silver from her pocket and gave it to Xiao Er: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Er, I will go myself."

Xiao Er looked at him suspiciously, saw a delicate girl standing on the stairs, and left with great discernment.

Danhua in a green shirt stood quietly on the stairs, watching Du Yansui condescendingly.

Du Yansui sized her up in surprise, and slowly went upstairs: "I didn't expect to see you here."

Not seeing each other for two years, his eyebrows became a little more stable, and he grew a head taller.The fuchsia damask gown with arrow sleeves was tailored to fit, a piece of white jade was inlaid between the wide belt, and a silver fish bag was hanging on it.The aura of wealth and nobility rushed over her face, and she was completely different from the gentle and low-key Kong Qing in the past.Thinking about his current status, Danhua only felt that he was not only a fool, but also blind, and the more he looked at Du Yan Suiyue, the more he felt flustered.She said coldly: "Since you're here, let's talk in the room."

She turned around, walked to the end of the room, and opened the door: "General Du, please come in."

Du Yansui followed her in, the window was open, and the Yong'an Canal was right below.

Danhua closed the door and stood guard at the door, eyes full of hostility.

Du Yansui glanced at her, his heart moved, and he looked inside: "Who else is here?"

"The one who took your life!" Danhua flipped his hands, and suddenly two daggers appeared in his palms.

The curtain of the inner bedroom was raised, and King Teng stepped out, "Danhua, you go out first."

He was wearing an azure brocade robe, with his hair tied up in a bun, as if he was at home, he strolled out of the courtyard.

"My lord!" Dan Hua called him angrily, put away his dagger, gave Du Yansui a hard look, and opened the door to go.

Du Yansui's pupils suddenly shrank.The vassal king is not allowed to enter the capital privately without being summoned. How dare King Teng break the ban alone?He took a deep breath, cupped his fists and saluted: "My lord is well."

King Teng sat down at the table leisurely, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Excuse me, sit down."

Du Yansui walked to the window very naturally, glanced at the opposite side, and closed the window: "It's getting cold, the prince should be careful about himself."

King Teng's eyes flickered, and he smiled softly: "I haven't seen you for two years, and you're still so wordy. Why don't you come back and serve me?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your seat." Du Yansui turned around and took the first seat under King Teng. "If nothing happens, Kong Qing will serve my lord for the rest of my life. Now I am Du Yansui, and I can no longer serve my lord."

"I haven't seen you for two years. You really have changed. In the past, you would never reject me." King Teng looked at him seriously, and sighed: "Du Yansui, Du Yansui, you are so scheming. This king would never have thought of it anyway. Back then, the eight-year-old child had already had a secret when he was choosing the bodyguards. There are countless servants around me, but you have a different attitude from others since you were young. For nine years, you have been with me for nine years, and you probably remember day and night that you are The descendants of Jingzhao Du's family have never regarded themselves as servants. But don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
