Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Hearing the familiar voice coming from the front, Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai quickly looked up.

When Cui Shenji saw Du He, who was in high spirits, he quickly stood up and walked towards him, saying with a smile on his face.

"Brother Du, we were just talking about you, but we didn't expect you to come out so soon."

"Let's go quickly, brother. I have reserved the four most beautiful ladies in advance, to celebrate your promotion to the Minister of Industry!"

"Your wife is staying in the palace tonight, so you must have a few more drinks today!"

Wang Jingzhi also trotted over with a smile on his face. He raised his fist and congratulated Du He.

"Brother Du, let me first congratulate you on the birth of your baby, and then congratulate you on your promotion to the Minister of Works!"

"I didn't expect that you are the first one among the Four Swordsmen of Chang'an to give birth to a child. I am really envious of you!"

When Du He heard what Cui Shenji and Wang Jingzhi said, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although these three good friends are all playboys, they also have their shining points.

Du He clasped his fists towards them and thanked them, "Three brothers, the prince asked me to bring you a message, thank you for your support!"

"Without the winter clothes you provided, we would not be able to raid Goguryeo in the cold early spring!"

"Without your support and strong guards, I am afraid I would also die on the Liaodong battlefield!"

After saying this, Du He bowed deeply to the three of them.

Seeing Du He doing this, the Three Musketeers quickly helped Du He up and spoke to him with a tone of blame.

"Brother Du, if you treat us as brothers, don't say such nonsense!"

"We are just providing some small gadgets, it's nothing!"

After Du He was helped up by them, he spoke to the three of them with a serious expression.

"Three brothers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already remembered your kindness in his heart. When he succeeds to the throne, he will thank you one by one!"

These three guys have sensitive identities and special circumstances, so Li Chengqian cannot strongly recommend them to Li Shimin now.

Not to mention the powerful families behind them, just because of the bad reputation they carried, Li Chengqian didn't dare to support the three of them too much.

The Three Musketeers said this with some excitement on their faces.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Although they paid a lot of gold, silver and other valuables, the prince's promise was enough for them.

Du He continued, "The food you provided was not used. When the army withdrew to Chang'an, I had people transport the food back to the manor in Youzhou."

"I'd like to trouble you to transport the food back."

Cui Shenji shook his head and said, "Brother Du, you can just keep that little bit of food in Youzhou and sell it. There's no need to ship it back."

Youzhou is also a densely populated city, and it doesn’t take long to sell out 3 shi of grain.

Seeing that the three of them were still hesitating, Xiao Kai came up to them anxiously and said.

"Three brothers, let's set off quickly!"

"When we get to Baihua Tower, we can enjoy music, drink wine, and reminisce about the past. Isn't that wonderful?"

Wang Jingzhi glanced at Xiao Kai and said, "Brother Xiao, you already have eight concubines, why are you still so interested in the four most beautiful women?"

"Hehe." Xiao Kai rubbed his hands and said angrily: "Brother Wang, how can the concubines in our family be compared with the four great courtesans!"

If it weren't for the fact that the four courtesans were of humble origins, Xiao Kai might have asked his father to take one of them as his concubine.

Seeing the impatience on the faces of the three of them, Du He waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Three brothers, let's go to Baihua Tower now without further delay."

As soon as Du He finished speaking, Cui Shenji hurriedly pulled him into his luxurious carriage and gave orders to the coachman in a hurried tone.

"Go to Baihua Tower, quickly!"

At their urging, the carriage shuttled quickly through the streets and alleys.

The four of them and their guards followed easily on horseback.

When the speeding carriage arrived at Pingkangfang, it had to move slowly because of the heavy flow of people inside.

Cui Shenji felt that the carriage slowed down, and he pulled open the curtain and asked with confusion.

"Why stop?"

Before the driver could reply, his expression froze instantly.

Because the streets are packed with people.

When the people around saw their carriages taking up space, they all showed expressions of disgust on their faces.

Cui Shenji opened his mouth in astonishment and asked in a daze.

"What day is today?"

"Why are there so many people in Pingkangfang?"

The coachman and the guards on both sides shook their heads and replied in unison.

"My Lord, I don't know either."

They are Choi Shenji's personal guards. They usually stay by Choi Shenji's side and have no chance to go out and enjoy themselves.

At this time, Du He also lifted the car curtain and looked outside.

Seeing the bustling crowd, Du He frowned slightly and said to the guard Du Wu.

"Du Wu, go ask and see what happened in Pingkangfang?"

"promise!"

Du Wu let the guard behind him lead the horse and ran to find out the news.

Not long after, Du Wu ran back in a hurry.

"Master, because the imperial court annihilated Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, the wine and dishes in the wine shops and teahouses here are all sold at half price."

"In addition, there is a storyteller telling the story of the army's conquest, so the people come here to join in the fun."

When Du He heard the news Du Wu brought back, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Could it be that Pei Xingjian led the people of the Eastern Palace to spread the news?"

If it was really Pei Xingjian who led people to spread the news, it proved that this guy had a strong talent as a spy.

However, the wine shops and teahouses here used the gimmick of selling at half price, coupled with the storytellers' wonderful stories, to attract a large number of people into the shops.

The owners of these shops are all tough guys.

Selling at half price does not necessarily mean losing money. They can do a lot of things to maintain the profits they deserve.

Du He said to Cui Shenji: "Brother Cui, there are too many pedestrians. Let's go on foot."

"it is good!"

Cui Shenji responded, then spoke to the coachman and the guards.

"Stop the carriage! Go and inform Prince Wang and Prince Xiao to get off the carriage and walk."

"promise!"

The groom and the guards responded respectfully.

After Du He and Cui Shenji got off the carriage, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai also came up from behind under the escort of the guards.

Wang Jingzhi looked around curiously and asked Du He and Cui Shenji with a puzzled look on his face.

"What big thing happened in Pingkangfang?"

"Why are there so many people out on the streets today?"

Du He repeated what Du Wu said to Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai.

They both suddenly realized, "So that's it!"

The prince's feat of leading his army to annihilate the Three Kingdoms sparked heated discussions not only among the ordinary people but also within the big families themselves.

With the guards clearing the way, the four of them walked quickly towards Baihua Tower.

Just then, a beautiful woman in a white robe came towards them, escorted by more than twenty strong guards.

Cui Shenji's eyes widened and he shouted in surprise: "Why is Yin Yushan here?"
