Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

The shops, stalls and pedestrians on the street had already gone home to sleep.

The only relatively prosperous places left are some taverns, teahouses, opera stages and flower shops, all gathered on Yangqiao Street. This place has always been sleepless and full of decadence and debauchery, making it the most famous den of money in Wucheng.

It is also the place that many playboys yearn for the most.

Master Gu Qi also yearned for it.

At that time, he was just nine years old and was sent back to the north from Kyoto. After a big quarrel, he ran away from home in anger and came to this place out of admiration for it, a place that all the playboys said they must visit.

No tea, no music,

But he only squatted under the Yangqiao tunnel for one night.

Yangqiao Cave is located at the innermost part of Yangqiao Street, deep in Yangqiao Hutong, at the end of the path, next to a winding waterside pavilion.

It is a stream brought from the top of the mountain, flowing through the red-light district and becoming the starting point of the garden landscapes. It is a very elegant place.

The treasure to be dug was under the bridge, so Gu Qi wrapped himself in a cloak and ran straight there.

"Hey, isn't this Master Gu Qi?"

A few playboys in the brothel were drinking with beautiful ladies. When they stood by the window and looked down, they happened to see Gu Qi running fast.

Who is Master Gu Qi?

He was a well-known figure throughout the country. Not only in the north, he was also a well-known little tyrant in the imperial city of Kyoto.

He would not even be punished with a stick when the prince made a mistake. The late emperor would just laugh and scold him, calling him a little bastard, and then let him go, and even ask the child if his hand hurt.

How much favor was she given? Even if the playboys committed a crime, they might be in trouble, but as long as they brought Master Gu Qi with them, even the prime minister and the concubines could help cover it up.

That's why he is so famous.

So no matter where the dude is from, he is always the chief.

So no matter which street the bastards are from, they all like to play with him.

Therefore, even if the Seventh Master had not lived in Wucheng for a long time, all the playboys knew him.

"This is Master Gu Qi!"

"What is Master Gu Qi going to do?"

"Seventh Master, are you coming up to play?"

"..."

Gu Qi stopped and looked up, wanting to dig something.

But he opened his mouth but no words came out, and he didn't know what was going on?

The idea of getting the sword and practicing martial arts was like the deepest secret in his heart, and he didn't want anyone to know.

It's like after being a playboy for so many years, he suddenly wants to do something serious and is worried about being laughed at.

"Of course I'm here to have some fun!"

Gu Qi loosened his cloak, lifted it up, struck a most unrestrained pose, and went straight upstairs.

"Hey, young master, come this way..."

"My young master has such a handsome appearance..."

"Master, look at me. I can play the pipa very well..."

Gu Qi: "Get out of the way!"

The boy was only twelve years old and had no interest in matters between men and women. His mind was full of flirting with cats and dogs, and flying eagles and horses.

He shouted, "Bring me a set of dice and your best wine..."

"Okay, I will drink with Master Qi until I am drunk today!"

"..."

……

"Ah...um..."

There were continuous screams in the woodshed.

Outside the woodshed, in a pavilion not far away, Lou Junze was dozing with his eyes closed.

"How's the interrogation going?"

"Your Highness, we have used extreme punishments, but he still has not confessed."

"Very good!" The traitors who had been able to deceive the Zhenbei Marquis for so many years had truly amazing endurance. They knew that they would die if they confessed and that their chances of survival were long gone, so how could they easily confess!

"Spread the news to Qi's house and tell them that the housekeeper has confessed..."

"Ah? Yes!"

Yun Kai looked at his grandfather in surprise. In the dim shadow under the lantern, he couldn't see his profile under the mask, he could only see the dangerous light in his eyes.

hatred!

How could you not hate it?

Hatred is like a thorn that pierces your chest and gnaws at your heart every day!

The person who almost lost half his life to lead him out of Kyoto, the person who held his hand and walked towards the light, the brothers who gave him a lot of protection and warmth, and the warriors who accompanied him through life and death over the years, all died here in the most humiliating way.

Even the children of a few years old in the mansion could not survive.

Uncle, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and cousin, the smiling Zhuang Erniu, Shu Shu who resists the ladder, the left-handed deputy general who is good at attacking, Cang Gan who says his wife is waiting for him at home and has already given birth to a baby, the fake scholar who claims to be the top scholar but failed in the imperial examinations and always carries a book in his arms, the boastful Hu Zi, Yan Liang who loves to modify siege vehicles, A Duan who always hides cakes for him, Sui Tou who said he would follow him all his life even if he broke his head when he heard that he was going to take credit for him, San Bao who loves to save money, Mu Ya who wants to learn how to make a comeback... All these people who have shared life and death with him in the north, they will never come back to life again.

More than two hundred personal guards, seventeen secret guards, the lives of all the people in the mansion, and more than a thousand elite cavalry.

How can the people in the underworld rest in peace if this vengeance is not avenged?

The body of Zhenbei Hou has not been found yet.

Since open schemes couldn't deal with them, he didn't mind using conspiracy to give them a taste of their own medicine.

A person who has died once is no longer a child.

Not the little child who pulled his sleeve and cautiously called him uncle.

孤，

Must take revenge!

“…When you send someone to Qi Mansion to report the news, have the deputy commander of the city defense follow him. Don’t forget to bring your ‘confidants’ along, and tell them to take the most important things in the study and flee.

Bring Zhou Shi here and be ready to identify him at any time."

"Yes!"

"How is Qi Sheng's surveillance going?"

"He's still circling the alleys outside the city, trying to shake off the people we're pretending to be following."

"Maybe it's time to 'lose track'"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Lou Junze stood up, picked up the wine jug on the table, and was about to drink it all, but he saw a gorgeous peony flower on the wine jug.

She drew the picture and ordered someone to make it, saying that she would bring it to Wucheng to expand the business, and asked him to use it first so that it would be easier to open up the market.

She has always been like this, dedicated and playful.

Thinking of her,

The depression in my heart finally dissipated a little, and my eyes and brows softened.

Lou Junze then asked:

"How is the cooking going in the kitchen? What kind of soup is being stewed? What kind of rice is being steamed? What kind of dish is being served?"

Yun Kai, who had just returned from delivering the message, said: "..." Why did the master become in a good mood again? Did the housekeeper confess?

Yunkai went to the kitchen again and came back to answer: "Your Highness, I cooked a full pot of mutton soup, with a lot of meat, very firm, boiled big pancakes, fine grains, and fried ones from your small kitchen..."

Lou Junze interrupted: "It's dry in autumn, so stew some bird's nest and white fungus. Make the buns smaller and use shrimp, water spinach and carrot as the fillings. Get some of the freshest seasonal vegetables in autumn and blanch them in boiling water. Remember to make it light. Add a few peeled and ground longan fruits to the milk and boil it. The cook didn't bring it, so you go and watch it carefully..."

Yun Kai: "..." Master, you have changed. Didn't you always say that these things were not enough to fill your teeth? The buns must be big, the meat must be more, and the wine must be stronger? What can you eat without oil?

Yunkai and Lou Junze lived in the same trench and had to eat coarse food just last year. He was recently transferred back from the farthest border, so his memory is still stuck in the past.

(Xi Yan: I wasn’t there. If I were, I would definitely say you didn’t understand!)

"Go tell the master that since most targets are asleep at Yinshi and there is less to monitor, split the people up and take turns to rest. Don't work all night."

"Yes!"

After the exquisite breakfast was ready, Lou Junze took it to the main house to monitor, but found that the sleepy Xia Shi was no longer there.

Miss Xia: What a joke, who would wander around the office for no reason? Do you want your boss to find out that you haven't done any work? Boss Lou is a swindler, and if he finds out, he will definitely exploit me.

It wasn't long from the time she heard the order to take a break to the time the boss came in and asked her if she ran fast.

(*?︶?*)

……

The dice were rolled a few times, the game of tossing pots was played for a while, a lot of bullhide was blown, and several jars of wine were drunk. Everyone was a little tipsy.
