Chapter 175 The Feast of the Wind

Li Tao continued: "He has brothers in his family, and so do I. If I can't defeat him myself, I naturally need to ask for foreign aid."

Gu Huayu glanced at Li Tao and asked: "What's the difference between this and letting the retinue fight? Besides, will Li Cheng help you fight?"

Li Tao shook his head, "No, my brother looks down on people who use force to solve problems, saying that this is what reckless people do. However, if my brother doesn't take action, you can ask him to use his words."

Gu Huayu asked in surprise: "You asked Li Cheng to scold someone for you?"

Li Taobao glanced at Huayu and said, "What are you thinking about? My brother has always thought of himself as an upright person since he was a child, so how can he curse others?"

 “Then what do you mean by speaking?”

Li Tao replied: "Of course I asked my brother for advice. Fighting requires more than just brute force, you have to use your brain."

Gu Huayu nodded, "That's right."

Li Tao looked at Lu Ziqin who was silent and said: "That day, I went to ask my brother for advice. It happened that the sixth master and the fourth master Jiang were also at my brother's place. My brother reprimanded me, and the fourth master Jiang and the sixth master Lu spoke for me. Give me some advice."

Gu Huayu turned to look at Lu Ziqin and said, "Is it your idea to deal with the Wan family brothers, or was it the Qingyan brother who helped you?"

“That’s right, Mr. Liu is known as Little Zhuge in the circle. Of course I want to ask Mr. Liu for advice!”

Gu Huayu turned her head to look at Lu Ziqin and asked, "What idea did you give him?"

After many years, Lu Ziqin vaguely remembered this incident. How could he still remember what he said?

Li Tao said enthusiastically, "Sixth Master said that only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle. He asked me to send someone to find out what the Wan family brothers like, especially what they are afraid of.

Mr. Liu also told me that when capturing thieves, capture the king first. When going up to fight with others, surrender the leader first, and the others behind will be fine.

Jiang Siye told me that the most important thing in a fight is momentum. You must first intimidate the opponent in the aura.

  Even though I am small, I still have to show the aura of a king. Something like saying that people who are barefoot are not afraid of people who wear shoes. "

Gu Huayu turned to look at Lu Ziqin and asked, "How old was Brother Qingyan back then?"

Lu Ziqin said: "I must be eleven or twelve years old, I can't remember exactly."

Li Tao took over the conversation, "I was ten years old that year, and Mr. Liu was one year older than me. He was eleven years old that year."

Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "It seems so."

Gu Huayu stopped worrying about age and asked, "What happened next?"

Li Tao said: "Later, I followed Master Liu's instructions and sent someone to find out the news.

Wan Changfan’s brother Wan Changquan is afraid of snakes, so I sent someone to collect two bags of cauliflower snakes.

Wan Changfan is afraid of stinky bugs, so I will send people to catch stinky bugs...

 On the day of the fight, I asked all the brothers from the Wan family to join us, and then we released all the weird things like snakes and bugs.

The Wan family brothers were so frightened that they ran away one by one... Since then, they have not dared to provoke me. "

Gu Huayu looked at Li Tao's arrogance and asked, "Aren't you afraid of those things?"

“Afraid, how can I not be afraid? Especially snakes, they are soft and cold, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

However, I'm afraid I have to hold back, otherwise, how can I deter them? "Li Tao replied.

Gu Huayu gave him a thumbs up, "You are so cruel to yourself, I admire you! Is this how you became famous in one battle?"

Li Tao thought for a moment and said, "That's right, from now on, I will find a way to deal with anyone who provokes me.

I used many methods, and the guiding ideology was taught to me by the Sixth Master and the Fourth Master. This is how I became famous and became the devil in the capital. "

The three of them were chatting while walking. Handsome men and beautiful women attracted the attention of passers-by along the way.

 There was a little girl who kept turning her head and bumped into a tree, which made Gu Huayu feel pain in her face from a distance.

Li Tao sighed: "Now I finally understand the charm of the most handsome man in the capital!"

Lu Ziqin raised his foot and kicked Li Tao. Li Tao quickly took two steps away and said, "Master Liu, someone is watching."

A few people came to Fanlou chatting and laughing. Ruxuan handed the reins to the waiter and turned around to book a seat. They met Li Cheng's servant He Quan who was negotiating with the waiter.

Izumi raised his head and saw Ruxuan, looked out the door, and said, "Master Liu is here so quickly?"

 Ruxuan came over understandingly and asked, "Have you sent someone to invite us?"

Izumi nodded, "Yes! After receiving the post, my grandfather came over to make a reservation in person, saying that he was going to pick up the wind for the sixth master. He also had someone deliver the letter to the prince, fourth master Jiang, and Commander Hua."

Izumi looked outside and saw Li Tao and Lu Ziqin walking in, talking and laughing. He asked in surprise: "The sixth master came with the second master?" He murmured in his heart, when did Lu Liuye and his second master become friends? .

If Ruxuan didn't return to Hequan, he turned around and went out to report to Lu Ziqin, "Sir, after receiving the post, Uncle Li went to Fanlou to make a reservation. Someone has been sent to the mansion to inform him. Return it to the prince, fourth master Jiang, and Commander Hua." Got the letter, can you read it?”

 Although Ruxuan's voice was small, everyone present heard it clearly.

Lu Ziqin looked at Gu Huayu and said, "Li Cheng has made a reservation, are you willing to come with us? King Xian, Si Lang and Hua Ruiming from Jiangxiang's Mansion may be here."

  Years ago, the fifth prince was promoted to the virtuous king.

Li Tao said first, "Gu Xiaoyu lives in a girl's house, so it's not convenient for us to join you. Mr. Lu Liu, please go and get busy. I'll take Gu Xiaoyu to book another small courtyard."

Lu Ziqin ignored Li Tao and looked at Gu Huayu, waiting for her to reply.

Hequan knew that Lu Ziqin was with Li Tao and immediately reported it to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng heard that Lu Ziqin was with his younger brother and came out in surprise. When Li Cheng saw Gu Huayu, he was stunned for a moment and then understood.

Without waiting for Gu Huayu's reply, Li Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Miss Gu, you're fine!"

Gu Huayu raised her head and saw Li Cheng, and returned the greeting: "Young Master Li, you are well and well!"

Li Cheng raised his hands to Lu Ziqin in greeting, and Lu Ziqin returned the gesture.

When Li Tao saw his brother coming out, he sighed inwardly and bowed his hands to Li Cheng: "Hello, brother!"

Li Cheng nodded, and then said to Gu Huayu: "Gu Xiaoyu, would you like to have a casual meal with me?"

Gu Huayu smiled and asked, "Is it convenient? Will it disturb the gathering?"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "No, no, I learned that Qing Yan has returned to Beijing, and I will hold a banquet here to welcome him. Miss Gu and Qing Yan are old friends, and they just happen to be together."

Li Tao echoed: "It just so happens that you have just arrived in the capital, Gu Xiaoyu, so I can take care of you."

Li Cheng was about to ask Gu Huayu when he came to Beijing. After hearing what his brother said, he smiled and said, "That's just right. Miss Gu, there's no need to postpone it. Let's go together!"

Gu Huayu blessed her body and said: "Then I would rather be respectful than obey your orders."

Li Cheng asked Gu Huayu and Mr. Lu Liu to step inside, "Miss Gu, please, Qingyan, please."

Lu Ziqin walked forward and asked as he walked: "Old place?"

 Li Cheng nodded and said: "Old place."

Gu Huayu looked around and asked, "Do you often come here to get together?"

Lu Ziqin slowed down and walked in side by side with Gu Huayu, "Well, Fanlou was the dowry of Mrs. Yuan from the Prime Minister Jiang's Mansion. Later, Mrs. Yuan gave it to Huanzhi, the Fourth Master Jiang. So,

   Brothers and I often get together here. "

Li Cheng smiled and said: "That was before. In the past few years, Qing Yan was away from the capital. Wen De took over the Long Shadow Guard, and Huan Zhi was busy with official duties. There were very few people gathering together."

 The group of people walked along the corridor to the Peony Garden.

Lu Ziqin introduced to Gu Huayu as he walked, "In addition to the water banquets, Fan Lou's Sichuan cuisine is also excellent. Because Jiang and Yuan's ancestral home is Sichuan. Mrs. Yuan loves flowers and plants, so she made Fan Lou a place that can be enjoyed all year round." View of the garden.”

Li Cheng and Li Tao followed behind. Li Tao had not had much contact with Lu Ziqin and did not notice anything strange.

Li Cheng and Lu Ziqin have a close friendship. Lu Ziqin is usually a man of few words. He is the kind of person who can say one word but never two.

 Today I said a lot of things very patiently and gently. Li Cheng couldn't help but look at Gu Huayu more.

 When Lu Ziqin stopped, he took the opportunity to ask: "Miss Gu came to Beijing with Qing Yan?"

Gu Huayu shook her head and replied: "No, I have been in the capital for a while."

Li Tao followed these words and asked, "Did Gu Xiaoyu come to Beijing from Hongcheng?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, I came directly from home."

Li Cheng thought that Gu Huayu came from Shicheng.

Lu Ziqin frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Gu Huayu.

Shopkeeper Shen has been in Shicheng. In the past few years, Gu Huayu has not returned to Shicheng.

Li Cheng asked: "Miss Gu will live in the capital permanently in the future?"

Gu Huayu nodded, "Yes, my family came to the capital to study with my brother, so I will stay in the capital."

Lu Ziqin asked: "Who is your twin? Gu Chengliang?"

“Yes, my brother died last year and passed away as a child.”

Lu Ziqin nodded, "It's good to be a child at the age of fourteen. Have you found your husband?"

"I've found a gentleman, but he hasn't returned to Beijing yet after traveling, so he has to wait a few more days," Gu Huayu replied.

Li Cheng smiled and said: "If Miss Gu is looking for your husband, you should look for Qingyan. Not to mention more than half of the people who work in the Hanlin Academy, at least a small half are familiar with Qingyan. Furthermore, Qingyan's uncle once served as a priest of the Imperial Academy We are familiar with Master Qingyan from the Imperial College, right?"

Although it is said that the master leads you in, practice depends on others. But Gu Huayu knows very well that it is a blessing in life to meet a good teacher, who is like a person transformed by the rain of time.

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqin and asked, "Is it okay?"

  Lv Ziqin said: "Go back and show me Brother Liang's article."

This was considered an acknowledgment. Gu Huayu thanked Lu Ziqin and said, "Thank you very much."

Lu Ziqin pursed the corners of his mouth upwards and said softly: "You're welcome!"

Li Tao muttered: "Brother, our husband is not bad. Why not let Gu Xiaoyu's brother come to our school to study?"

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Of course, if Miss Gu doesn't mind, we..."

Before Li Cheng could finish speaking, Lu Ziqin interrupted him: "No, I will make arrangements."

Li Cheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "We have no chance of Qingyan's intervention."

 “It’s not you who asked Gu Xiaoyu to find Mr. Liu.” Li Tao said dissatisfied.

Li Cheng glared at Li Tao and changed the subject with a smile: "Here we are, Qingyan is drinking melon slices. Where is Miss Gu? What kind of tea do you like to drink?"

Gu Huayu said: "Give me some melon slices too."

 Lv Ziqin had a smile on his face.

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Okay, make two cups of melon slices and bring them over."

Izumi turned around and gave instructions.

Seeing Gu Huayu and Lu Ziqin drinking the same tea, Li Tao suddenly felt uncomfortable and said loudly: "Make me a cup of melon slices too."

 Li Cheng turned to look at Li Tao and asked, "When did you like melon slices?"

Li Tao glanced at his troublesome brother and replied calmly: "It's been a while. Gu Xiaoyu, let's go over there to enjoy the flowers. When I came a few days ago, the row of golden threads was about to open."

Li Tao replied to his brother and turned to talk to Gu Huayu.

"Okay!" Gu Huayu stood up, turned to look at Lu Ziqin, and asked, "Brother Qingyan, are you going?"

Li Tao said first: "Sixth Master and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time. They have endless things to say. Let's go enjoy the flowers and let them talk."

Lu Ziqin looked at Li Tao and stood up, "Let's go! Let's go together."

Li Cheng saw Lu Ziqin getting up and stood up too. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk while enjoying the flowers."

When several people came out of the hall, Gu Huayu realized that the hall was the highest point in the garden. Standing in the room, one could have a panoramic view of the entire garden.

The garden is wide, and as far as the eye can see, there are flowers and plants, which are beautiful and fragrant, so beautiful that it makes people dazzled.

Lu Ziqin stood on the right side of Gu Huayu, raised his hand and pointed to the front right with his folding fan, "That row is what Si Wen said was the golden wire running through the top."

Gu Huayu looked in the direction of Lu Ziqin's fingers. The white flowers were inlaid with strips of gold threads. Under the sun, they were so dazzling that it made people unable to open their eyes.

Lu Ziqin pointed forward and said as if counting treasures from his family, "The one over there is Er Qiao. The one next to Er Qiao is Wei Zi. They are both very beautiful. Let's go over and have a look."

 “Okay!” Gu Huayu responded happily.

When Li Tao saw Gu Huayu walking forward with Lu Ziqin, he felt a little unhappy. He rushed to Gu Huayu's side and said as he walked: "These days are the peak flowering period. We came at the right time. We are feasting our eyes. If it had been a few days later, Then, it’s the remaining flowers.”

Li Cheng looked at his younger brother who was speechless and shook his head helplessly.

"Sir, the prince and Fourth Master Jiang are here." Izumi came over to report.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "I understand."

 Izumi stepped back and Li Cheng said, "Let's go over."

Lu Ziqin said to Gu Hua: "Let's go out to greet her. This is etiquette." Lu Ziqin said the last sentence very lightly.

Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay!"

 The group of people arrived on the corridor, and Xian Wang and Jiang Che were already facing them.

Li Cheng, Lu Ziqin and others bowed their hands and bowed to the wise king.

The wise king took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to support Lu Ziqin's shoulders, and said with a smile: "You are finally willing to come back. If you don't come back, I will have to look for you."

Seeing that the wise king was treating Lu Ziqin intimately, Gu Huayu cast her eyes on the wise king and looked at him secretly.

 Lv Ziqin leaned forward again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering me."

The King Xian looked at Lu Ziqin, who was half a head taller than him, "I thought that when you come back, I will be taller than you. It seems that no matter how tall I am, I will never be able to catch up with you."

Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty will grow longer, but Ziqin has definitely grown."

After exchanging a few words with the wise king, Lu Ziqin bowed his hands and greeted Jiang Che.

The wise king was very surprised when he saw Gu Huayu and asked, "Who is this?"

Gu Huayu was blessed and said: "Gu Huayu, a commoner girl, has met the prince."

Li Tao took the initiative and bowed his hands and said: "Miss Gu is a friend of mine. I was invited here to enjoy the flowers. I happened to meet my brother to pick up the wind and wash away the dust for the Sixth Master. So we got together."
