Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Cui Shenji kept the smile on his face despite the madam's refusal, and he spoke with regret in his tone.

"That's a pity!"

"It is a great pity for me, Cui, that I cannot spend time with Sister Hua under the moonlight today!"

Cui Shenji was just talking nonsense and would not really let the madam go with him. After all, a man in his 30s is considered middle-aged.

Moreover, he could not force the madam to do anything she did not like, so as not to offend the people behind her.

After all, the person who could open a brothel in Chang'an, and the largest brothel in Chang'an, received important people every day, even royal nobles.

How can you survive without connections and a strong background?

As far as Cui Shenji knows, the person behind Baihua Tower is most likely King Jing Li Yuanjing!

Li Yuanjing was the sixth son of Emperor Taizong Li Yuan and a clan minister with a strong family background.

Hearing Choi Shin-ki's words, the madam's face was filled with smiles.

She put her hand on Choi Sun-ki's shoulder and said in a pinched voice.

"Master Cui, you are so sweet-mouthed. I will have to bring you a few more jugs of fine wine later."

"Sister Hua is so generous!" Cui Shenji praised, then he loosened his arms around the madam's waist and said anxiously, "Sister Hua, please take us to the private room quickly. Don't keep Qinqishuhua and the other four waiting for too long!"

There are people coming and going at the entrance of Baihua Tower, so it is easy to be seen by acquaintances.

It doesn't matter to him and Xiao Kai, but it's not so easy to deal with the two princes-in-law, Du He and Wang Jingzhi.

"Mr. Cui is right." The madam covered her mouth and chuckled, then bowed respectfully and extended her hand and said, "Please come in, gentlemen."

Led by the madam, Du He and three other companions walked into Baihua Tower.

The appearance of Du He and his group instantly attracted the attention of all the guests in the lobby.

The group of people just took a look and then looked away.

He was surrounded by more than thirty guards and was personally received by the madam, so one can imagine how noble his status was.

After Du He, Cui Shenji and others followed the madam into the Zixia Palace private room on the third floor, the guests in the lobby asked one after another to inquire about the news.

"My dear friends, who are the four young masters who just came up?"

"According to the madam, the four courtesans are all in the private room of Zixia Palace. How could the four young masters be so greedy!"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar said, covering his face.

"Haven't you heard of the Three Evils of Chang'an?"

The lobby instantly became quiet.

Everyone's originally puzzled faces also showed expressions of sudden enlightenment.

The three evils of Chang'an, Cui Shenji, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai, are well-known.

However, for most people, they have only heard of these three people and have never seen them with their own eyes.

They also heard that the three evils of Chang'an had all been promoted recently, which was simply unjust.

This was a major psychological blow to a group of scholars who had worked hard but failed to pass the imperial examination.

A young man wearing a green robe and a half-inch beard asked in confusion.

"Who is the other person?"

The middle-aged man dressed as a scholar shook his head and spoke in a higher voice.

"The young man in the lead is the Prince Consort Du we were just discussing!"

"Some time ago, I assisted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in defeating Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla!"

After hearing the middle-aged scholar's introduction, all the visitors showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Prince Consort Du, who was said to be like a god, is actually so young?

Just as they were about to continue the discussion, a large group of people walked in through the gate.

Leading the group were three young men, one tall and two short. They looked disdainfully at everyone in the lobby and then walked up to the third floor.

The audience who recognized the identities of these three people shut their mouths and lowered their heads to drink.

I don’t know what day it is today, but so many top young men come here to have fun.

In the private room of Zixia Palace.

The four courtesans of music, chess, calligraphy and painting are performing hard. Their dancing is soft and graceful, which brings a strong visual impact to people.

Cui Shenji picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Du He, Wang Jingzhi and Xiao Kai himself. He said with a smile.

"Three brothers, today is a rare good day, we must not leave until we are drunk!"

"Everyone should eat and have fun, and I will cover all the expenses!"

Wang Jingzhi said with a smile: "Brother Ji is very generous!"

All his money was confiscated by Princess Nanping. He would secretly come to Baihua Tower to enjoy himself, and it was Cui Shenji and Xiao Kai who paid for it.

Cui Shenji glanced at Wang Jingzhi and said with disdain: "Brother Wang, you really bring shame to the Four Swordsmen of Chang'an. As the head of a family, you don't even have a few taels of silver on you!"

"Look at our brother Du. Princess Chengyang obeys him in everything. Now she has cut ties with the Jingzhao Du family."

"This is the courage of a real man!"

When Xiao Kai called them out today, he told them about the breakup between Du He and Jingzhao Du family. Cui Shenji was stunned at that time.

Although the Jingzhao Du family was of little help to the three brothers Du He, at least they had a reputation.

If you bring it out at a critical moment, it can scare many people.

Now that the Jingzhao Du family’s reputation is gone, they have to rely on the three brothers Du He themselves.

Wang Jingzhi touched his nose angrily and said, "Brother Ji, can I compete with Brother Du?"

"Brother Du is a favorite of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and now he holds the high position of Minister of Works, and Brother Du Gou is also the Minister of the Left!"

"I am just a small seventh-rank deputy director of the Sinong Temple, and my elder brother is only a fifth-rank chief doctor."

"How dare I go against Princess Nanping?"

He himself was not outstanding, and the Taiyuan Wang family behind him had already put in a lot of effort to push him to the position of deputy director of the Sinong Temple.

Although his mother Du Rouzheng was from the Jingzhao Du family, he knew the Du family's character very well. They didn't even support the three brothers Du He, so how could they support him for no reason?

Du He patted Wang Jingzhi on the shoulder and said, "Brother Wang, your choice to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is correct. If you work hard in the next few years, you will have the opportunity to take on important responsibilities in the future!"

Wang Jingzhi grinned and said, "Hehe, Brother Wang is still reliable!"

At this moment, an arrogant voice suddenly came from outside the private room.

"You bunch of slaves, get out of my way, or I'll make you pay for it!"

Du Wu said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Please respect yourself, Prince Consort, and don't disturb my master from listening to the music inside!"

"Slave, will you give in or not?"

"My dear Prince Consort, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order!"

Hearing the quarrel outside, the four courtesans of music, chess, calligraphy and painting stopped what they were doing, and their faces were full of helplessness.

"Snapped!"

Cui Shenji slammed the table heavily and said with a raised brow in anger.

"It's that bastard Fang Yiai!"

"How dare this bastard disturb our fun? I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
