Sioux Palace.

The sea of stars on a summer night reflects the Luoshui River.

In the quiet room in the house, Su Zhe knelt and sat in it. On the short table in front of him, there was a pot of pure wine, and there was a purple jade.

Huan Wu sent this piece of purple jade, and the meaning couldn't be clearer. Huan Wu was not worried that Su Zhe would run away, because he knew that Su Zhe would not run, let alone throw himself at Yang Xian.

Su Zhe is the patriarch of the Su clan, and there are thousands of people in the clan. He can escape, but where can his people flee?

There are many elites in the Su family, and there are many people who hold important positions in the imperial court and in the local area. Huan Wu didn't want to escalate the situation to an uncontrollable level, so he sent this piece of purple jade.

Zi Jue! Self-destruction!

When Su Zhe sent the more than 20 former pawns of the Chehe battalion, he already had the heart of death. Su Zhe drank slow wine, he didn't have to fight openly and secretly in the treacherous clouds of the past, and he didn't have to struggle to support himself in the embattled, now he was extremely relaxed.

Tonight, Su Zhe drank cup after cup, and at the end, the wine in the pot was exhausted, Su Zhe's interest was undiminished, and he felt that something was missing, but he heard the sound of footsteps outside the house.

"Is that you?"

Chang Yu was holding a pot of wine in one hand and stood outside the door brightly.

Su Zhe obviously didn't expect Chang Yu to come, with a hint of surprise on his face, but then turned into a smile. For the current Su Zhe, nothing else matters, including this former friend and today's enemy.

"I know I shouldn't come, it's just that the old man will go, and for some reason, I still want to come and see."

Chang Yu approached step by step, threw a pot of wine in his hand to Su Zhe, and sat down opposite Su Zhe.

The wine jar with five or six catties was thrown over like this, Su Zhe took it steadily, opened the lid of the pot, smelled it, and praised: "Good wine!" ”

"It's not good wine, how can I bring it?" Chang Yu smiled, swept the wine jug and glass on the short table, and scolded, "This is also what the master uses to drink?" Su Jing'an, you have been a gentleman for so many years, and you are all contaminated with some pedantic. ”

Su Zhe smiled, took the Haikou thick bowl handed over by Chang Yu and still had a gap, and couldn't help but be a little curious: "I haven't seen this thing for many years, where did you get it from?" ”

"When I came, I passed by a farmer's house, and I left a silver ingot, which I took with me."

The two of them each poured a bowl of wine, looked at each other and smiled, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You haven't drunk for many years, but today's pride is not diminished."

"I haven't drunk alcohol in years, it's not that I don't want to drink, it's just that I don't have people to drink with."

Su Zhe put down the thick bowl, brushed the wine drops on his beard, and poured himself another glass.

Chang Yu put down the sea bowl in his hand and sighed leisurely.

"Meng Gong is gone, and Lu Xu is gone, and the people who were able to drink together back then are almost all gone. Now the left, apart from you and me, is only Yang Chun. What a pity! Yang Chun has stayed in Yizhou for many years and has never taken a step. There was a hurry in the hall that day, but there was no word. However, he never liked me, and I didn't like him. ”

Su Zhe drank another bowl and said loudly: "It's not that you don't like Yang Chun, but you don't like the lord!" ”

"Have you finally spoken out today? You didn't go to Shu with Yang Zhong back then, but chose to stay in the Shendu, hoping that Yang Zhong would one day be able to regain his strength and return to the Shendu. Unfortunately, it backfired, Yang Zhong died early, and he failed to achieve a great cause. ”

"I can't hide it from you. On the contrary, so do you. ”

Chang Yu laughed and touched a bowl with Su Zhe.

"Definitely. You and I know each other, but we don't take the same path. Huan Wu's arrangement is obviously to use you and me as auxiliary ministers. He gave up the glory of the good to fulfill his vow to a man who had been dead for almost forty years. Is it worth it? ”

"Loyalty is in the heart, why ask? My answer years ago was no different than it is now. ”

"Hah! You are like this, and so is Yang Chun. ”

Chang Yu's tone suddenly changed, and he became a little excited. He drank a few bowls of wine, his face flushed with a hint of drunkenness, but his eyes were very clear.

"I've always hated Yang You'an. I hate the arrogance of his youth, the fame and reputation of his youth, and the coy look when he was about to die. Great Zhou loyalty? What a great Zhou loyalty! The things he did couldn't be compared to the traitors and thieves in the history books. Ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

Su Zhe looked at Chang Yu, who was a little excited, and was silent, but listened to him continue to narrate, as if his grievances for many years were about to be revealed today.

"Back then, he took the first emperor and you, me, Yang Chun, Meng Gong, and Lu Xu to walk the streets and alleys, fight everywhere, take us on a safari, gallop through the mountains and forests, and even take us to peek at Emperor Ming's stunning concubine Shao Jin to take a bath. Yang You'an always has a way, whether people want it or not. ”

"Don't you want to?" Su Zhe smiled, "When I went to peek at the Shaojin clan who was famous and powerful, and the world's most glamorous and beautiful young Jin clan was taking a bath, there was no unwillingness on your face!" ”

Chang Yu's face showed a hint of shame. This Su Zhe has always been used to pretending to be a gentleman, and suddenly being so improper, Chang Yu is really difficult to deal with.

Chang Yu coughed and drank a bowl of wine to hide his embarrassment.

Indeed, Yang You'an's suggestion is always impossible to refuse. At the beginning, he scolded Emperor Ming in the court, although he was saved by the first emperor. But afterwards, Emperor Ming thought he was an eyesore, so he found an excuse to demote him to the north, and you and Yang Chun also went with him. I thought I could be cleaned, but after ten years in a hurry, instead of being depressed, he also subdued the lawless and bold guys in the Chehe Battalion and the Lian Li Battalion, and met Yuan Cheng there. ”

"Hah! The world only knows that Yang You'an and Yuan Shoucheng are mortal enemies, but they don't know that they also sang wine together, held a lance together, and killed demons and witches. It's a pity that heroes cherish each other and fight each other, and these two are not ordinary people. In the end, the whole world became a battlefield for them to fight. And we have also become pawns in the hands of Yang You'an. ”

Recalling the past, that glorious season has always become a thing of the past. When Chang Yu said this, it was difficult for Su Zhe to see whether he was envious or resentful at this time.

The wine is near, and the glass has not stopped. The two of them poured an empty jug, trying to drip another drop of wine, but there was nothing.

Complex emotions condensed on a face, and finally turned into a laugh.

"That's it! That's it! You will go to Jiuquan, meet Yang You'an, and tell him for me. The debt he owed me back then, I will eventually get it back from him, let him wait for me. ”

Chang Yu was full of alcohol, walked out tremblingly, and said softly when he was about to leave the room.

"Let's go!"

Su Zhe watched Chang Yu's figure disappear and smiled slightly. The room was cold again, and only two bowls and two empty pots remained. Standing up, he picked up the saber from Lan Qi on the side.

The sword light was cold, reflecting a pair of clear eyes.
