Located on the school field of the Yongning Fang Yiguo Mansion, Qin Zhan was practicing the family heirloom double skill, when he saw Wei Chi Xunyan walking in in a hurry. Qin Zhan is eighteen years old this year, but because his father Qin Huaidao married the daughter of Yu Chi Baolin, as the third son of Yu Chi Baolin, Wei Chi Xunyan, although he is less than twenty years old, has become his uncle.

Therefore, Qin Zhan saw that Wei Chi Xunyan looked hurried and nervous, so he immediately stopped practicing, strode up to Yu Chi Xunyan and asked, "Is Uncle here to find me today?" I don't know what makes you so anxious? ”

"Just now, Dazhi sent someone to me, saying that someone wants to see us, let us go to Juyue Tower and wait for him." Wei Chi Xunyan said with a solemn expression, "Moreover, he still told us not to tell anyone when we went to Juyue Tower!" ”

"Did Dazhi tell his uncle who wanted to see us?" Qin Zhan frowned. Cheng Dazhi, who had always been rough-hearted, became so cautious, which made Qin Zhan a little surprised.

Wei Chixunyan shook his head slightly, and sighed softly, "No! However, with the ambition of Binxing, it will definitely not be a good thing for him to find us! ”

"Uncle means that Dazhi may have had an accident again, or offended someone again, so he let us secretly go to Juyue Tower to see him, and want us to come forward to solve the trouble for him again?" Qin Zhan asked in an unhappy tone.

In other words, Cheng Dazhi didn't get into trouble before, so they came forward to solve it!

"Hey! Dazhi formed an axe gang, and he didn't listen to our advice, he was in Chang'an City every day, not to mention flying and domineering, and he was also doing things to bully men and women, if he provoked something powerful, it was not impossible. Wei Chi Xunyan said in a deep voice, "It's just-!" We have been friends with Dazhi for many years, and if he really runs into trouble and asks us to go to Juyue Tower, we can't ignore it! ”

When Wei Chi Xunyan said this, he glanced at Qin Zhan, and seeing that Qin Zhan's expression was still the same, he continued, "I have already sent someone to inform Xue Yan, it is estimated that he may have gone to Juyue Tower, let's go over now!" ”

"Okay!" Qin Zhan nodded slightly, put the double gong on the weapon rack, washed and changed his clothes, and hurried to Juyue Tower with Wei Chi Xunyan.

The two rode horses, and after a while they arrived at Juyue Tower, they saw from a distance that the henchman of the axe gang Cheng Dazhi was waiting for them at the door, they dismounted from Juyue Tower, and Da Niu saw the two of them and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Two Langjun, our helper is chatting with Xue Langjun in the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor, please follow me upstairs!" ”

As soon as Qin Zhan and Wei Chi Xunyan heard that Cheng Dazhi had booked the place where the four of them would gather in the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor of Juyue Tower, the two of them were even more surprised.

Because the Peony Pavilion of Juyue Tower is not only a place to spend a lot of money, but also a place that symbolizes the status of a person and Chang'an City, so even the children of official eunuchs like them usually do not dare to go to the fourth floor of Juyue Tower to eat, in addition to the high cost, there is also that their identity is not qualified, let alone the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor.

And now Cheng Dazhi was waiting for them in the Peony Pavilion of Juyue Tower, how could this kind of reckless and unusual behavior not surprise Wei Chi Xunyan and Qin Zhan?

However, since they had already arrived downstairs, no matter how surprised Cheng Dazhi was, they wanted to see them in the Peony Pavilion, but they could only suppress the doubts in their hearts and follow Cheng Dazhi's henchmen to the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor.

The two of them worriedly arrived at the Peony Pavilion on the fourth floor of Juyue Building and found that Xue Yan had arrived, he was drinking tea with his head down, and because Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan were silent, the atmosphere in the Peony Pavilion seemed a little dignified.

Cheng Dazhi saw that Qin Zhan had arrived at Wei Chi Xunyan, so he hurriedly got up and invited the two to sit down on the vacant seat, and Xue Yan on the side also nodded slightly to the two.

After Wei Chi Xunyan and Qin Zhan sat down, Cheng Dazhi personally poured tea for them, and Qin Zhan asked, "Dazhi, why did you ask us to come here so mysteriously?" ”

"That's right, Dazhi! I asked you for a long time just now, and you refused to say a word, but now that we are all together, you should say it, right? Xue Yan also asked dissatisfied.

Although he arrived at the Peony Pavilion before the two of them, Cheng Dazhi did not reveal to him who wanted to see them today.

Cheng Dazhi saw that Qin Zhan, Wei Chi Xunyan and Xue Yan all looked at him, he ordered the idle people in the Peony Pavilion to leave, and muttered for a while, before he said to everyone, "It's not my intention to call you to Juyue Tower today, but His Royal Highness the Prince." Just now I met His Highness in the study room of the 'Lu Pavilion' of the Lu clan in Fanyang, and I wanted to invite him to Juyue Tower for dinner, and His Highness asked me to call you because he wanted to meet you. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince? Are you talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our Tang Dynasty? Xue Yan looked incredulous, and sneered, "Dazhi, you're too big a right?" Who doesn't know that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been suffering from illness since he was a child and can only live in the East Palace all the year round, you said that he came to Chang'an City to play, so you ran into him? The joke is too big. Dazhi, do you want to climb the high branches of the prince and want to go crazy? ”

"Dazhi, if you have anything difficult and want to ask us to help you, you can say it directly, there is no need to use such an excuse to invite us to Juyue Tower for dinner, and it is mysterious!" Qin Zhan said very politely.

Only Wei Chi Xunyan didn't speak, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to believe what Cheng Dazhi said.

"It's really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to see you!" Cheng Dazhi saw that the three of them didn't believe his words, so he hurriedly explained, and then he told the three of them about his encounter with Li Hong in "Lu Ge".

After listening to Cheng Dazhi's legendary experience in "Lu Ge" today, the three of them all pinched a cold sweat for Cheng Dazhi.

Because they know that if what Cheng Dazhi said is true, today he will really annoy the crown prince Li Hong, Li Hong wants to punish Cheng Dazhi, even if Cheng Dazhi is Cheng Zhijie's grandson, it is estimated that it will not work, and he can only be punished obediently.

However, after some explanations by Cheng Dazhi, they knew that Cheng Dazhi was not only not punished by the prince, but also invited the prince to Juyue Tower to set up a banquet and entertain them, and the prince still wanted to meet them by name, and their hearts began to be full of curiosity about why His Royal Highness the prince was looking for them.

To put it bluntly, although they are the sons of nobles, their situation in their own houses is not very good.

Let's just say that Cheng Dazhi, with his grandfather Cheng Zhijie critically ill, once his uncle Cheng Chumo inherits the title of Duke Lu Guo in the future, his father Cheng Chucun's status in the Cheng Mansion will be affected, and Cheng Dazhi, who is Cheng Chucun's concubine, is not to mention.

Besides, after Yu Chi Gong and Qin Qiong died of illness, Gaozong's posthumous title for them was not ungenerous, but that's all, because as the eldest son of Yu Chi Gong, Yu Chi Baolin inherited the title of Duke of Hubei and was awarded the positions of Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Shangzhu State, and Wei Wei Shaoqing, so he was not given the opportunity to lead the army to fight, how could he be promoted without military merits? And Qin Huaiyu, who is the eldest son of Qin Qiong, except for marrying Princess Jinyang and becoming a Tang concubine, only inherited Qin Qiong's title of Duke of Yiguo, and was never awarded any position again, not to mention Qin Huaidao, who is Qin Qiong's second son and Qin Zhan's father, is still just a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, without any real power! As for Xue Rengui, he had brilliant achievements during the Taizong period, but now he is still only a general of Zuo Wuwei, and he is still listening to the dispatch of General Zheng Rentai of Zuo Wuwei.

You say, their fathers' careers are not going well now, how much better can their current situation be?

Therefore, they suddenly knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to see him, whether it was Cheng Dazhi, Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan and Xue Yan, they were all a little excited and a little nervous at this moment.

Because although they are the sons of the heroes and nobles, they are not the sons in law of the family, they have never seen the prince when they are so old, and they are a little excited to see the prince of the Tang Dynasty for the first time today.

is also because they know one thing, that is, as long as they can enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, go to the East Palace to seek a position, and do their best for the prince, in the future, the prince will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and he will be able to lose his own benefits? So they are a little apprehensive in their hearts.

Therefore, after a short silence, Xue Yan, who had always been unable to hold his breath, couldn't help but ask, "Dazhi, what did you say His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw us for today?" ”

"How do I know this!" Cheng Dazhi rolled his eyes and said.

"I guess, I just want them to have a drink with him!" Wei Chi Xunyan, who has always been calm and calm, spoke.

Although he said this, he was actually very nervous now. Because he vaguely felt that today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the palace to play, and because Cheng Dazhi set up a banquet to make amends, he suddenly wanted to see them, not just drinking.

"That's right! Lone looking for you, is to let you drink with Lone! As soon as Wei Chi Xunyan's words fell, Li Hong's figure appeared at the door of the Peony Pavilion.

Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan suddenly saw the prince appear in front of them, they were slightly stunned, and they hurriedly got up and bowed.

Li Hong smiled and walked slowly into the Peony Pavilion, and then said to the four of them, "Don't be polite, you all sit down!" ”

The four of them just answered, but none of them dared to sit down.

Li Hong smiled faintly, then moved his gaze to the four of them, and found that at this time, Wei Chi Xunyan, Qin Zhan, Cheng Dazhi and Xue Yan were all a little restrained when facing him, so he took the initiative to go to the main seat and sit down, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Sit down! Today, I came to you just to drink some wine, and then talk to you about the customs and anecdotes of Chang'an City, so you can just talk freely later, but don't be nervous and restrained because I am the prince! ”

Wei Chi Xunyan and the other four saw that Li Hong was thinner than they thought, but his spirit was not bad, he was much younger than them, but he spoke very casually, and his heart couldn't help but relax a lot, so he sat down around Li Hong in turn.

And those who followed Li Hong into the Peony Pavilion were Yan Zhuang and Chen Gong, and the two were also sitting at the door.
