Zhao Ben was a young man, and he boasted that he could not be compared to Pan An in appearance, but he was still a talented person. He was a so-called gentle lady and a gentleman, so Zhao Ben was naturally attracted to a woman as beautiful and talented as Gu Yunniang.

He had always had evil intentions towards Gu Yunniang. Of course, before Gu Feng's accident happened, Zhao Bi had met Gu Yunniang in the market of Xianyang and was immediately shocked. However, at that time, Zhao Bi was just a border county captain, and he was nothing like Xianyang.

There is a huge gap in the level of mayors in Zhongjing City.

"General Zhao, you know that rumors confuse people and destroy people's reputations. I, Gu Yunniang, can just pretend that I didn't hear what I said today. If there is a next time, then please don't come to the Peony House to invite General Zhao. I, Gu Yunniang, can't reach that high level."

After saying this in a cold voice, Zhao Ben turned around neatly and walked out without waiting for a reply.

"Smelly woman, what are you so proud about? One day, I, Zhao, will pin you down and make you want to die." Zhao Ben spat bitterly and stared at Gu Yunniang's back in confusion.

Although Li You died, Xingyang was still his home base. Many officials in the city were appointed by Li You. The old friendship was unforgettable. And with Yang Xiong, a big boss close to Li You, protecting him, Zhao Bi felt really good for a while.

We can't do anything to Gu Yunniang. Of course, when Wang Ming and Chen Di were convicted of Li You's serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, the situation changed. Zhao Ben believed that Xingyang would one day be named Zhao, and he was Zhao Ben's Zhao.

The night is cool.

Half of the moonlight shines on the city.

The Peony Tower is located in the east of Xingyang City. It is famous for its courtyard of peonies. It has several monasteries, several green bamboos, and stacked courtyards, where the most beautiful women in the city live.

The building is divided into three floors. The front yard is a dirty place loved by wealthy guests. The middle yard is a Qu Pavilion, which is mostly visited by guests who like elegance. The back yard is the residence of the red brand in the building, with a dedicated

The idle man guarding the door blocked a group of chattering people who did not know how to show appreciation and tried to harass.

A pool of lotus flowers contrasted with each other in red, half of the red leaves were slightly opened, and two women could be vaguely seen talking softly in the room.

A purple-clothed woman with a graceful figure and a charming face with dimples said in a crisp voice, with a bit of shame and anger: "Auntie, that old man Wang Ming is so stupid that he wants to take advantage of me, my aunt, you are really blind.

Got his dog eyes."

"It seems that Wang Lao'er is willing to be a Zhao dog. Well, Yun Niang, don't worry. With Xiaoxiang taking good care of him, the old guy won't be able to go to hell. Zong Zheng and Chen Di didn't go to the banquet today. Maybe it's clear. Wait.

Find an opportunity to get in touch and see if you can win over him, cough cough." A somewhat hoarse and old voice said coughing behind the tent.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you!" Gu Yunniang in purple clothes had dark eyes full of worry. The woman named Auntie who spoke was none other than the owner of the Peony House, the former great oiran, the enchanting Gongsun Auntie.

Before Daliang was burned down by the Qin army, Gongsun's sword dance was famous throughout Wei and Liang.

"It doesn't matter. By the way, someone came from Daliang yesterday. That Li Sanlang is really surprising. I didn't expect that there is such a person in the Li family?" Aunt Gongsun said quietly.

"Li Sanlang, aunt, is that Li Yuan really a descendant of the Li family?" Gu Yunniang was startled, and finally couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Ahem, Li Si has the guts to steal something, but he doesn't have the guts to take his nameless son home. He has raised him outside for twenty years. Does he think no one knows about it?" Aunt Gongsun smiled coldly. No one else knew about Li Si's scandal.

, she knew very well that the infatuated woman who became pregnant for Prime Minister Li, but was later abandoned by her lover and died in depression, was her good sister.

"Then, does Li Yuan know his life experience?" Gu Yunniang's heart suddenly tightened. She was also a descendant of Tianya. Gu Feng was killed a year ago, causing her to lose the support of her family all of a sudden.

Fortunately, there were kind-hearted people like Princess Yushu and Gu Ji who helped her. Otherwise, she would not have been able to survive.

"The Li family are all ungrateful people. If Li Si hadn't been arrogant, how could Prince Fusu have died? Now, how could the famous Prime Minister Li tell an illegitimate son the truth!" Aunt Gongsun sneered and was silent for a long time.

It looked like he was tired and didn't want to talk anymore.

Gu Yunniang moved lightly and closed the door. She looked up and saw a star shining brightly in the half-moon sky. The light was so dazzling that she couldn't help but look away.

——.

Beam.

Li Yuan was lying on the brocade couch, flipping through the heavy bamboo slips in his hand. It had been nearly ten days since the fierce battle that day, and his wounds had scabbed. Fortunately, his stomach, liver and other important parts were not injured. He should recover quickly.

A lot.

Yesterday, at Li Yuan's insistent request, Luo Jia got a brocade couch that could be carried for Li Yuan to walk in the army. Seeing Li Yuan coming, the Qin army officers were suddenly excited and gathered around him.

After coming here, after this fierce battle with Peng Yue, it can be said that Li Yuan was completely recognized by the Qin army officers and soldiers.

Whether it is the old soldiers who have followed Yongqiu all the way or the newly attached county soldiers, in their hearts, Li Yuan, this man who dares to fight hard and can bring victory to everyone, is the commander-in-chief of this army.

"Hu Zhuang, are you saying that an envoy from the imperial court has come to Xingyang?" Li Yuan put down the bamboo slips and asked a middle-aged man in front of him who was not surprising in appearance and as thin as a bamboo pole.

Hu Zhuang, in fact, his name does not match his name at all. It is really ironic to use the word Zhuang to describe a thin man. Hu Zhuang is an elder named Hu in Junyi County. He is an old Qin man who migrated from Guanzhong with the Qin army.

descendants, as those with vested interests in the unification of the Qin State, Hu Zhuang had tit-for-tat interests with those old princes of the Wei State. Therefore, after Li Yuan led his troops to Junyi, Hu Zhuang naturally became a supporter.

"General Li, according to reliable information, Yushi Wang Ming and Zongzheng Chen Di arrived in Xingyang not long ago. They are here to investigate Commander Li's collaboration with the enemy!" Hu Zhuang replied respectfully. Along with Wang Laoliu, Gan Houbo and others who followed Li Yuan

Compared with his subordinates who had been with him for a long time, Hu Zhuang knew that he did not trust Li Yuan enough, so he spoke with respect and courtesy.

"The charge of collaborating with the enemy, Commander Li, is really groundless?" Li Yuan stroked his forehead. Zhao Gao's approach was really clumsy. In history, this old man called a deer a horse in the court, leaving a story that will last forever. Now he said that Li You, who died fighting for Qin, was

He had an affair with a thief, and he was so worried that everyone in the world believed him.

"Why is it unnecessary?" Hu Zhuang asked puzzledly.

"It's unwarranted. It may or may not be true. In short, if you are who you are, you are, and if you are not, you are. Can you see Mr. Yang Xiong in Xingyang?" Li Yuan sighed, thinking about another person in history who was falsely accused.

To the hero who died unjustly. Before Yue Fei died unjustly, he still had Li You as his companion, and he was finally not lonely. Those who framed them were two powerful ministers who are famous in history, Zhao Gao and Qin Hui, as well as two confused emperors, Hu Hai and
