"He invited me to go to the Drunken Immortal Building tomorrow to talk in detail, and said that he had no ill intentions, but wanted to help me get out of trouble, I didn't dare to reply to him, and came back to discuss with you. It seems that this Yang Zhao's ability is not small, and he knows the inside story so quickly. Wang Yuan said in a low voice.

Gongsun Lan frowned and pondered for a long time, and asked softly: "Wang Yuan, what do you think about this matter, after all, you have spoken to Yang Zhao in person, can you feel anything from his tone of speech?" ”

Wang Yuan scratched his head and said: "I have no clue, he invited me to Zuixianlou to talk, and it seems that he wants to help me solve the trouble, but I don't know what his intentions are?" I don't know if he meant it or not. ”

Li Xin'er was shocked and said: "Could it be that Yang Zhao deliberately used to help you get out of trouble as a bait to lure you to the Drunken Immortal Mansion for a banquet tomorrow, and then it was not good for you?" Maybe he didn't succeed last night, so Wang Ji didn't succeed and came up with another plan, so he invited Yang Zhao to set a trap for him to lure you out of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion? Erlang, you can't go to the Drunken Immortal Tower tomorrow. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "I can't rule out this possibility, but if I really help Wang Ji to lure me to show up, it's not completely unreasonable, after all, he and Li Linfu are very close, if you help Wang Jie, it makes sense." ”

Gongsun Lan slowly shook her head and said, "You are all wrong, according to me, Yang Zhao will never do this." ”

Wang Yuan said: "How can you see it? If Wang Zhao really asked Yang Zhao for help, would Yang Zhao disagree? ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said: "As far as I know, Wang Ji is mean and sinister, and his relationship with Yang Shenjin and others under Li Linfu is not harmonious. But Li Linfu relied on him because of his viciousness and cunning. Therefore, Wang Ji hardly waited to see anyone except Li Linfu. This Yang Zhao is the upstart who has only come to Chang'an in the past two years, and his career is also because of the concubines in the palace and the sisters of the Yang family, in a sense, although they are all people that Li Linfu wants to woo, but their respective backers are different. Yang Zhao's dependence on Li Linfu is to use each other, and he needs Li Linfu to work together to justify it, while Wang Ji is not, he can only rely on Li Linfu completely, so the distance between the two in Li Linfu's eyes is absolutely different. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "This is true, but it can't prove that these two people will not cooperate against me." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "You offended Chen Miaoer, so you offended Wang Jie, your poetry club defeated Li Linfu, so you offended Li Linfu, but have you ever offended Yang Zhao?" ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "I offended Li Linfu, didn't that offend Yang Zhao?" ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said, "I already said just now, Yang Zhao and Li Linfu are just using each other, and it is not clear who Yang Zhao is." If Li Linfu wants to win over and curry favor with the concubine, he needs to pass Yang Zhao, and if Yang Zhao wants not to be criticized for being promoted by relying on his connections in the palace, he needs Li Linfu, Li Shizhi and others to give him a justifiable evaluation. And the two Xiangguo also hope that by winning over Yang Zhao and the favored Yang family, they can speak for themselves in front of the emperor. If you were Yang Zhao, you would be on this back. Did Jing Xia deal with you in order to avenge Wang Gong's personal revenge? ”

Wang Yuan understood, in the end, Yang Zhao would not be so stupid, he came to Zuo Xiangfu to find him openly, invited himself to the Drunken Immortal Tower, and then once he had an accident, wouldn't he give someone a handle in vain. Unless Yang Zhao was a fool, how could he do such a stupid thing.

Wang Yuan said: "So you mean, Yang Zhao really has no malicious intent?" Also approve of me going to see him in the Drunken Immortal Tower tomorrow? ”

Gongsun Lan said quietly: "I don't know if there is malice or not, we just don't know its intentions, and we can't judge whether it is good or malicious. But tomorrow you should go, or how will we know his intentions? And if Yang Zhao is willing to contribute, he does have the ability to help you solve the current predicament, because if he wants to protect you, Li Linfu will also give him three points of thin face, but I don't know what kind of price will be paid for doing so, obviously Yang Zhao will not come for no reason, obviously there are some inside things we don't know at all. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "I don't have any choice at the moment, it's better to go and meet him for a while, and you can also know what medicine he sells in his gourd." I also want to know if there is anything I can get him to be willing to help me, could it be that his sister has taken a fancy to me? Hahaha. ”

Gongsun Lan glared at Wang Yuan and said, "Yang Zhao's sister is the third sister of the Yang family in addition to the concubine, do you want to be the minister under the skirt of Mrs. Qiuguo?" I heard that Mrs. Guo is the young talent who likes Chang'an the most, and now that you are famous in the capital, she has taken a fancy to her, and it is unknown if you call Yang Zhao to come together. ”

Wang Yuan was startled and said, "What are you kidding?" ”

Li Xin'er frowned and said: "Don't laugh, it's the real danger to worry about, it's hard to rule out the danger that Wang Ji will be unfavorable to Erlang, tomorrow Erlang will go to the banquet, maybe what will happen." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me by your side to protect Wang Yuan, what are you worried about?" How can we be unguarded? ”

Wang Yuan was surprised: "You go with me?" ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "Can there be anyone else?" I'm sure you're not in danger, but I'm only here for your peace of mind. Today's events have reminded me that if anyone can make Li Linfu change his mind and let you go now, I am afraid that this is the only Yang Zhao, so this is an opportunity to turn the danger into a disaster. If Yang Zhao can help you, you don't need to look at anyone's faces, including Li Shizhi and Li Linfu, let alone Wang Ji and Yang Shenjin. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I hope so, although my heart is full of doubts, I must go to tomorrow's meeting." As soon as I came back, I had to find another reason to leave the house, and our Li Zuoxiang didn't know if he would be angry again. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "Li Zuoxiang's anger can't be taken care of, who told him to hide it?" Is it so difficult to inform Wang Yuan's situation as soon as possible? This person is really stupid, he always thinks that everyone is stupider than him, but he doesn't know that he is the stupidest one. So he will always be trampled under Li Linfu's feet. ”

……

Since he had decided to go to the Zuixianlou tomorrow, he naturally wanted to ask for Li Shizhi's consent, so Wang Yuan found Liu Xunzhi in the evening and asked him to go out of the house tomorrow, the reason was that he agreed to his cousin and his wife and accompanied them to burn incense and worship Buddha in Ci'en Temple.

Liu Xunzhi naturally didn't dare to agree to Wang Yuan without authorization, and he didn't dare to tell Wang Yuan that he was safest now only by staying in the mansion, so he could only ask Li Shizhi to show him, hoping that Li Shizhi could stop him.

In the study of the inner house, Li Shizhi, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, threw the brush to the ground angrily after hearing this, and said hatefully: "You go and tell Wang Yuan that from today onwards, he will leave the house if he wants to, and there is no need to report it, the old man will give him absolute freedom." ”

Liu Xun was taken aback, and hurriedly whispered: "Zuo Xiang, in this way, Wang Yuan's safety is difficult to guarantee, do you want to accompany him with some guards?" ”

Li Shizhi waved his hand and sneered: "No need, he wants to find death himself, what can we do?; The old man has already seen that he is the second Li Bai, when Li Bai was in the capital, what kind of courtesy did the old man treat him? In exchange for what? Didn't you just brush your sleeves and go without even saying hello? Wang Yuan is an untamed dog. ”

Liu Xun picked up the brush on the ground and put it on the pen stand and said: "Zuo Xianggong is angry, maybe we should tell him the inside story clearly, maybe he doesn't know that he is in danger at all." According to my meaning, it is better to tell him bluntly, whether he is angry or angry, it is a big deal to be relieved and relieved, and when he is in a dangerous situation, he will naturally know how to deal with it carefully. ”

Li Shizhi looked at Liu Xunzhi and sighed: "Yanzhi, can't you see it?" Wang Yuan obviously knew his situation, but he didn't want to say it and pretend to be confused. Last night's news was accurate, and there were also sources in our Jin Wuwei, and the news reported said that although Wang Ji did not explicitly say who was arrested, some of them did recognize Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan and another person were chased all the way to the vicinity of Jinchangfang and disappeared. ”

Liu Xunzhi was surprised: "So, is Wang Yuan really pretending to be confused?" No wonder he appeared in front of the door of the house early in the morning before the door opened, but his expression was calm at that time, as if he had not experienced anything, and I was deceived by him. ”

Li Shizhi tapped the table with his fingers and said: "The old man is thinking, he may be full of dissatisfaction with the old man in his heart, in this case, why should the old man bother to protect him?" And just now Liang Sigui analyzed it when Mr. Liang came, the old man felt very reasonable, Sigui said that the two women around Wang Yuan were very suspicious, I don't know if you feel it? ”

Liu Xunzhi frowned and said, "Isn't that one his wife's room and the other his cousin?" They all looked like ordinary women, but their subordinates didn't see anything suspicious. ”

Li Shizhi sighed: "Yanzhi, compared with Sigui, you are obviously inferior to him in this regard." On the night of Shangyuan this year, there was an assassin infiltrating in Li Linfu's mansion, do you remember? ”

Liu Xun nodded straight and said, "Of course I remember, didn't we come to the conclusion at that time that this was a deliberate rumor released by Li Linfu?" Guess what he wants to do and deliberately release false news. ”

Li Shizhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, we thought so at the time, but it turned out to be true later." I have reliable sources, not long ago I learned the exact news, that night Li Linfu's mansion was not an assassin, but a dancing girl in Li Linfu's mansion watched Li Linfu's secret room in the middle of the night, and overheard Li Linfu's conversation with Yang Shenjin, Wang Ji and others in the secret room, which was discovered, and then mobilized the Jinwu guards and the Wuhou to search for them. ”

"Maidome?" Liu Xun said straightly: "This can make the subordinates confused, what is going on?" ”

Li Shizhi sat down slowly and said in a low voice: "This is not an ordinary dancing girl, do you still remember the first sword dancer in the Tang Dynasty in the palace back then?" ”

"Of course you remember? Zuo Xiang is saying that the dancing girl is Aunt Gongsun? How is this possible? There was no news from Aunt Gongsun after she absconded from the palace that year, although His Majesty did not order her to be arrested, but Li Linfu did not dare to harbor Aunt Gongsun, this subordinate was really confused. ”

Li Shizhi waved his hand and said: "Of course it's not Aunt Gongsun, what kind of character is Aunt Gongsun, the emperor's favor is disdainful, how can Li Linfu let Aunt Gongsun stay in his mansion." But although this dancing girl is not Gongsun Auntie, she has a close relationship with Gongsun Auntie. When Aunt Gongsun left the palace, she took a female disciple with her, who was only eight at the time. No one paid attention to the nine-year-old. But a few years later, this female disciple suddenly appeared in Chang'an City and performed and caused a sensation. ”

Liu Xunzhi frowned and said: "It seems to be a little impression, it's been a long time, and I forgot about it if I didn't mention it." ”

Li Shizhi: "This female disciple is said to have won the essence of the sword dance, allowing the people of Chang'an to witness the style of the sword dance again." Jingzhao Mansion also recruited her to interrogate the whereabouts of Gongsun Auntie, the woman claimed to have met Gongsun Auntie Yunyou in the south, and by chance she taught her dance skills, and then Gongsun Auntie wandered without a trace, and she didn't know where Gongsun Auntie wenwen, this remark was indeed impeccable. ”

Liu Xun patted his thigh and said: "I remembered it, my subordinates remembered this, and later this woman was hired by Li Linfu to be a dancing girl in the mansion with a lot of money, and the left minister said that the so-called assassin that night was this dancing girl?" ”

Li Shizhi nodded and said, "It's her." ”
