It's just that Cui Jishu saw Gao Cheng's eyebrows frowning slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Cheng suddenly remembered the scene of seeing Yuan Zhonghua playing the flute on a moonlit night several times. Every time and every time it was different, she grew up by his side day by day. He had never thought about what it would be like if one day, he and her played a song together.

The girl listened attentively, and there was only Gao Cheng in her eyes, and she completely put the store aside.

Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng sideways, and unintentionally turned his head, and suddenly found two people standing at the door, which startled him. When he saw clearly who these two people were, he was even more startled.

The glamorous girl is Lee Chang-yi, the stepwife of Lieutenant Goshen of the Imperial History, followed by her maid Kuye. It is indeed a little strange that Li Changyi actually appeared in this not so conspicuous Yecheng street wine shop. I wonder how she showed up here? But Cui Jishu didn't have a good impression of her, so he felt in his heart that a person like Li Changyi who grabbed people's husbands was not a lady in the boudoir, so it was not surprising that he appeared in a street market.

In fact, Li Maoyi had already walked to the door when Gao Cheng had just started playing the pipa. The guards and servants guarding the outside were ordered by Cui Jishu to guard the general. But Cui Jishu did not instruct them to prohibit people from entering the liquor store, but only told them to pay attention. Everyone who followed Gao Cheng knew the personality and temper of the prince and the general, and seeing that she was a very beautiful girl and an official lady, it was natural that she did not particularly bother it.

Li Changyi's arrival at this wine shop was indeed predetermined in advance, but she never expected to meet Gao Cheng here. When I saw the back of Gao Cheng playing the pipa, I vaguely recognized it, and thought that I had recognized the wrong person. But with Cui Jishu by her side, she also knows Cui Jishu, so naturally she can't be wrong.

Away from the time she met at the Zhonghuang Mountain Wahuang Temple, she could hardly believe that it was the same person. At that time, Gao Cheng behaved stubbornly, his clothes were dirty, his hair was messy, and he was completely a boy who hadn't grown up yet. laughed at her so frivolously, where did she look like a son of a high-ranking family and a family of eunuchs? But when she saw him again today, just playing the pipa quietly like this made her feel that he was already an authentic man, no longer the impetuous teenager. The two of them were judged before and after, which surprised her heart.

Li Changyi's feelings for Gao Cheng in her heart were very complicated. Her husband, Lieutenant Gao Shen, disliked the general very much. It was precisely because of the general's entry into Ye Auxiliary Government that he was forced to enter the current predicament step by step. From this point of view, Li Changyi and her husband Gao Shen feel the same.

The general insisted on supporting the Cui family and remarried Gao Shen's lower cousin wife and Cui Xian's sister to Gao Men. also intended to let the Cui family show off his might in front of Li Changyi. The general assisted the government to severely punish corruption, indirectly reprimanded Gao Shen for his lawlessness, appointed private individuals, and took responsibility for crimes, implying various dissatisfaction with Gao Shen. All of this seems to be a deliberate attempt to seize the position of lieutenant of the imperial history in exchange for his former brother-in-law, Choi Siam. If it weren't for the fact that Gao Shen's younger brother Gao Gao was particularly valued by the prime minister Gao Huan, I am afraid that Gao Shen's result would be even worse.

But on the other hand, Li Changyi's heart was full of extreme curiosity and freshness about Gao Cheng. She couldn't have imagined that the stubborn young man she had seen with her own eyes could be the general who had exhausted the thunderous means of governing the country? It's completely different.

Today, she suddenly met Gao Cheng here, and this sense of unreality was implemented, and it completely became real.

Because of Cui Jishu's distraction, the Hu Nu sitting opposite them finally found Li Changyi and Kuye who were still standing at the door at the end of Gao Cheng's song. Cui Jishu saw that Hu Nu didn't feel surprised or strange at all, so she stood up and walked over with a smile, and called with a smile, "Madam." Apparently she is no stranger to Lee Changyi. And it was so familiar and eager to greet them, obviously because they had made an appointment in advance.

Gao Cheng was still holding the pipa in his arms, but when he saw Hu Nu suddenly get up and walk behind him, he began to dismiss, thinking that it was some kind of guest, and Hu Nu naturally wanted to greet him. He was about to ask Cui Jishu to find a quiet place to sit and have a few drinks, but when he saw Cui Jishu also looking at the door, Gao Cheng unintentionally turned his head to look behind him.

Unexpectedly, there was a bright light in front of him, and a woman of extreme beauty stood behind him and was talking to the bearded girl. The woman's mature charm attracted him in particular. And after a closer look, he found that this woman was Gao Shen's stepwife Li Changyi, which made him laugh in his heart.

Kuye, the maid on Li Changyi's side, didn't know that the general Gao Cheng and the Huangmen waiter Cui Jishu were in this wine shop before entering the door. Kuye is not so familiar with Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu, but she is very smart, and she even recognizes Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu at the moment of pondering and discernment.

Kuye didn't speak, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, and silently looked sideways at the reaction of his housewife, who only talked to Orchid, as if she didn't recognize the two people at all.

It turned out that the owner of this wine shop was a Sogdian from the Western Regions, and this wine shop was not mainly to attract wine customers, but also to deal in some rare jewelry, hairpins, rings, bracelets, and chuan; Exquisite ornaments, what crystal cups, agate plates, etc. The dignitaries and families of dignitaries all visited, and Lieutenant Yushi's new wife, Li Changyi, was a frequent visitor here. Therefore, it is normal for Li Changyi to appear here, but it is not normal for Gao Cheng to appear here by mistake.

While talking to Orchid, Li Changyi was talking about strange ornaments, but Orchid didn't notice that this lady had actually been paying special attention to her and looking at her, intentionally or unintentionally. Not only Li Changyi, but also the slave and maid Kuye behind Li Changyi also secretly looked at Hu Ji with a slightly hostile curiosity, and there was a trace of imperceptible disdain in this gaze.

All this Orchid didn't notice, she wasn't a thoughtful person in the first place.

Li Changyi already thought in his heart that it was for this orchid, so Gao Cheng stayed here. As she talked to the orchid, she kept an eye on the orchid. In her opinion, Hu Ji is just an ordinary bearded girl, who naturally looks different from the Central Plains woman, and is not necessarily particularly beautiful.

Although Li Changyi's eyes did not look at Gao Cheng, she had already noticed that Gao Cheng was holding a turtle pipa in his arms. She knew that Orchid was also good at playing the lute, which made her feel a little calmer.

Cui Jishu turned around and looked at Gao Cheng. Shizi naturally saw Li Changyi coming in, and he didn't need to say anything. Gao Cheng glanced at him meaningfully. Choi Jishu got up and walked over to Lee Changyi and Hu Ji. Kuye first saw Cui Jishu coming over, and she stood with her head slightly bowed without saying a word.

Li Changyi also saw Cui Jishu coming over, but she didn't go out of her way to see it, as if she didn't see it.

Hu Ji's attention was all on the content of Li Changyi's words, and she didn't pay attention to Cui Jishu at all.

Li Changyi turned around and looked at Cui Jishu slightly. When Cui Jishu approached, she didn't dodge, but first greeted politely and said, "Cui Shilang is also here, I didn't expect to meet by chance." ”

Cui Jishu suddenly wanted to ask Li Changyi, did he not expect to meet him here, or did he not expect to meet the prince here? In fact, you don't have to ask.

"Madame doesn't have to be polite." Although Cui Jishu doesn't like Li Changyi very much, he can at least not pretend to be in front of her. "The general is here, please come over and speak." It's already very polite to say please. In fact, there is no room for Li Changyi to be willing or unwilling. Even if she really doesn't want to see it, can she really not see it?

Li Changyi is a smart person, with a delicate mind and good at calculation, so he didn't mean to shirk at all, and said with a smile, "The concubine should have given the general a salute and asked the waiter to lead the way." ”

Cui Jishu didn't say much anymore and led Li Changyi over.

Hu Ji looked at them with surprise on her face, and followed Li Changyi and Cui Jishu to Gao Cheng. Orchid has a straightforward personality and does not hide her thoughts, so she stares at them curiously, but it is no longer like the smiling face just now.

Li Changyi walked slowly and dignifiedly, and walked not far behind Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng has always been facing each other with his back and has not turned back. But Li Changyi always felt that Gao Cheng seemed to be looking at her all the time, so she had to be calm and not let him look down on her.

"Concubine Yushi Lieutenant Gao Zhong's secret wife Li Shi visited the general." Li Changyi saluted Gao Cheng's back, looking very reserved. Her maid Kuba followed behind her and gave the same salute.

"My wife and I are really fateful." Of course, Gao Cheng didn't get up from his seat, and he didn't look back, just threw a word lightly. His tone was ambiguous and unclear, and it revealed a deep meaning, making people not understand what he meant by fate.

If it was someone else, I really didn't know how to answer for a while, but Li Changyi looked at his back and smiled slightly, "The concubine is married to the high lieutenant of the husband, and she also relies on the help of the general, so naturally she has a good relationship with the general." ”

Hearing that her tone was neither soft nor hard, she was neither rude nor overly courteous, which made Gao Cheng suddenly interested in teasing her. He held the lute in his arms, and the fingers of his right hand skillfully and gently plucked the strings. Even if you play it at will, you can play beautiful music intermittently, and you can show your superb skills.

"I heard that the peach wine in the Western Regions is a fine wine, I wonder if my wife has also tried it?" Gao Cheng's tone was very soft, as if he was asking Li Changyi's opinion. But without waiting for Li Changyi to answer, he plucked the strings and instructed Cui Jishu beside him, "Let the orchid serve wine." This was obviously said to Cui Jishu, but it was actually said to Li Changyi.

Li Changyi saw that Gao Cheng didn't ask about her attitude, so he took it upon himself to ask Cui Jishu to instruct Hu Ji to serve peach wine, which was not an invitation, it was simply a disguised compulsion. Not to mention that she is from a high family and the wife of a eunuch, no one has ever dared to surprise her so much with her country-like attitude. It is already extremely humiliating for her to be accompanied by others in such an identity, which makes Li Changyi extremely resentful and unwilling. I don't understand why the general can be so kind to Hu Ji, why should she be humiliated in public?

"Thank you for the general's generous gift, it's just that the concubine is a married woman, so it's inconvenient to accompany the general to drink here." Li Changyi looked at Gao Cheng's back and politely rejected him. He didn't even invite her to a seat, did he let her stand like this all the time and drink peach wine to show him? Why did he despise her so much? Li Changyi was extremely aggrieved. I don't understand how this amorous general can be so adorable?

Li Changyi was against it, but Cui Jishu only listened to Gao Cheng's orders, and had already ordered Hu Ji to serve wine. Orchid was clever and arranged for a secluded place to re-set up a seat. Cui Jishu respectfully asked the general to move, and Gao Cheng put down the pipa in his hand, got up and stood up. When he stood up and calmly turned to face Li Changyi, his green eyes smiled slightly, and he had a majesty that could not be questioned and refuted in calm, as if he was a natural master.

Li Changyi immediately understood that her resentment and dissatisfaction, as well as her opposition and desire to refute, were all in vain. She's a smart person, and she won't be so straightforward to anger Gao Cheng.

"Madame owes me, should I pay it back?" Gao Cheng suddenly raised his hand and stroked his cheek, stared at Li Changyi, walked over two steps, almost next to her, and deliberately lowered his voice.

Others didn't understand what it meant, but Li Changyi understood it at once. When he joked too much, she once slashed his cheek during the struggle, and it seemed that he remembered it. I can't help but wonder in my heart, is it because of this reason that the general has repeatedly embarrassed her husband Gao Zhongmi?

After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he left Li Changyi on the ground and left. Cui Jishu didn't go with Gao Cheng, didn't speak, stared at Li Changyi with fierce eyes, and inadvertently glanced at the guards, servants and others outside. In fact, he is doing this too much, even if no one follows, who would dare to disobey the general? The general convinces people with his might, and does not need to rely on the strength of the people.

Li Changyi is the wife of Lieutenant Yushi, and she is a person with a dissolute personality who likes pomp and circumstance, and the noble lady of the high family is naturally indispensable to the servants who hug her before and after, but no matter how many people she brings, it is in vain, who dares to compete with the general? She saw that Gao Cheng's back had disappeared, and then looked at Cui Jishu's invisible pressure on her, thinking that she would definitely not be able to resist him. simply crossed his heart and followed where Gao Cheng's back had just disappeared.

Gao Cheng didn't expect that there was a hole in this seemingly inconspicuous wine shop. The quiet room arranged for them by the orchid is extremely elegantly furnished, clean and quiet, not like a wine shop in the downtown area, but like the inner room of a Yanju in a mansion.

The peach wine is clear and translucent, red like blood, and it is dazzlingly beautiful in a crystal glass. When Li Changyi followed up, he saw that Gao Cheng was already pouring himself a drink, and he didn't even look up at her. She looked back to see that the curtain was falling behind her, and she and him were isolated in a confined space, which shocked her. The maid Kuye she was carrying was stopped outside by Cui Jishu, and Cui Jishu did not follow up.

"Madame, please take a seat, no formality." Gao Cheng calmly invited Li Changyi, while pouring blood-red peach wine into another empty crystal cup, picked up the crystal cup with his white and slender hand, and watched Li Changyi sit down beside him, bowing his head and lowering his eyes.

Her heart was already like a deer, the crystal cup full of peach wine appeared in her sight, and the hand holding the crystal cup, the bright red seemed to open its bloody mouth to devour her.
