At the beginning of the fifth year of Yuanhe, the fourth prince Zhen returned to Beijing to bring good news from Yumen Pass, and the three armies converged to discuss the counterattack against the Turks.

In April, because the war was mainly concentrated in the northwest region, Xianbei, which was located in the northeast of the Long Dynasty, took advantage of the lack of air defense in the northeast and suddenly sent troops to take the seven prefectures of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan and Shun in the southeast of Taihang Mountain, and directly attacked Shangjing.

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, and Emperor Yao issued seven urgent military orders in a row, ordering Marshal Chen Xianzhong to return to the army to hold Shunzhou and recapture the seven states of Yanyun.

In July, the ninth prince Yu led 5,000 vanguard elite soldiers in Shunzhou to fight with Xianbei 40,000 troops, won more with less, and recaptured Shunzhou on only six days, losing 30,000 enemies, and sealing the gods in a battle!

In September, Marshal Chen recaptured Danzhou. In December, Mo and Ying were recovered. In June of the fifth year of Yuanhe, all the seven states of Yanyun were recovered, and the Long army fought all the way to the east to the territory of Xianbei, Xianbei surrendered, and sent envoys to Shangjing to negotiate peace.

Subsequently, Marshal Chen led an army of 70,000 to defend the east, and the ninth prince Qi Yu led an army of 200,000 to support the northwest. In January of the sixth year of Yuanhe, Hui surrendered and sent envoys to Beijing to negotiate peace.

In the battle of Luoshipo in September of the sixth year of Yuanhe, Yu Sheng, the ninth prince, captured the Turkic prince Ashina Hertz, and the Turks surrendered.

So far, 38 battles of all sizes ended with the victory of the Long Dynasty, the world called it the Battle of Long An, after this battle, the twenty-year-old Nine Princes Qi Yu was also named the god of war by the people.

The New Year is approaching, and the streets and alleys of mansions of all sizes in Shangjing are hung with red lanterns and pasted with new paper-cuts.

The streets are crowded with people, and the shouts of vendors and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers echo each other, making it a lively scene.

After nightfall, a dark shadow swept into the mansion of the fourth prince, looking around the courtyard as if looking for something, until a cough came from afar, and he flashed into the room as if he had a target.

The bedroom was dark, and as soon as Qi Yu stepped into it cautiously, a long sword smeared at his throat, and he quickly stepped back and took out the dagger at his waist to block the attack.

The martial arts of the person in front of him are very high, the sword and sword hit the vital point, and the attack is even more vicious after falling a little down.

Only then did Qi Yu speak: "Don't fight, it's me, Qi Yu, Qi Daoyi, the Nine Princes!" ”

The candlelight in the room was lit, Qi Zhen stood at the table and looked at him with a smile, and the long sword of the man in black jumped onto the beam of the room with a light tiptoe, blending into the darkness.

"Fourth brother!" Qi Yu thrust the dagger into his waist and staggered forward to hug Qi Zhen, burying it in his shoulder and crooked it a little: "Fourth brother, do you miss me~"

Qi Zhen's body stiffened, as if he was not used to this excessive intimacy, and after a long time, he stroked Qi Yu's head and said with a smile: "Naturally, I thought about it." ”

Qi Yu lied for a while before letting go of Qi Zhen, and quickly looked at the person in front of him:

I haven't seen him in the past three years, the fourth brother is tall and thin, and the thin and thin body outline can be seen in the wide pajamas, the face is like jade, the edges and corners are clear but not too resolute, and the peach blossom eyes under the two sword eyebrows are bright and deep.

The corners of the eyes are pointed and delicate and beautiful, as if they can seduce the soul, the lips are not dotted and Zhu, at this time smiling, the corners of the mouth are also crooked, and it is very good-looking.

Qi Yu had to sigh: "Wow, fourth brother, your appearance, wow, it's really rare in the world." ”

"You're not serious." Qi Zhen pulled Qi Yu to sit down and handed him a cup of tea: "Aren't you supposed to be on the way back to escort the Turkic prince back now, why did you come back so early?" ”

After Qi Yu finished drinking tea, he picked up the pastries on the table again, and replied while eating: "What's so fun about the prisoners, do you listen to them crying and scolding their mother?"

It's boring, it's boring, didn't I think that this year was closed, and Shangjing must be very lively, so I threw the mess to the deputy and rode back first. ”

"You just love to mess around, so wouldn't it be child's play to escort the prince."

"Fourth brother~ As soon as Xiao Jiu came back, I heard that you were sick, so I hurriedly came over to see you, you still talk to me like this, Xiao Jiu won't come in the future."

"Okay, okay, the fourth brother won't talk about it. If you're hungry, I'll ask someone to cook some food. ”

Qi Yu quickly stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I still have a place to go next, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking." It's just a two-bite first. ”

Qi Yu untied the burden on his waist and took out the clothes inside: "Fourth brother, I was idle and bored a few days ago and heard the soldiers say that there was a snow fox in the area of Jiayuguan, I thought about it, aren't you afraid of cold since you were a child, this snow fox fur just happens to be the best choice for making warm clothes, so I went to Jiayuguan to fight foxes."

It's snowing heavily, it's white everywhere, eh, don't say it, it's just my eyes and luck, I found a snow fox hole on the mountainside, and I caught a few snow foxes, so I have this fox fur coat. Wear it and see if it fits. ”

The pure white fox fur coat is embroidered with a light blue cloud wave pattern, the ink-colored silk thread outlines the vigor of the green pine and cypress, the gold wire edging, luxurious and gentle, the snow-white fox fur collar is soft and warm after wearing it, and the inner lining is soft and close to the body and the wind.

Whether it is the style or the degree of warmth, Qi Zhen likes it very much: "Xiao Jiu, you have a heart." ”

"It's good if the fourth brother likes it. It was also late that night, and the fourth brother rested early to recuperate. ”

Qi Yu said goodbye to his fourth brother, and as soon as he left the mansion, a cold wind blew in his face, which made him shiver.

Qi Yu held the bulging wallet on his waist, nodded with satisfaction, and then flew westward, and arrived at his destination in less than half an hour.

"Fourteen, come out and show you new things."

In the dark, as soon as Fourteen appeared, he was smoked by this thick fat powder.

Standing at the door, he looked up at the huge three words "Qunfanglou" swallowed his saliva, and looked at his master in embarrassment: "Lord Wang, this... Isn't this a green house? ”

"Yes, let's go, see how lively this largest green building in Shangjing is." Qi Yu didn't know where to change a folding fan, and stepped into it leisurely fanning the wind......

Fourteen had no choice, gritted his teeth and followed his master.

"Tut-tut, debauchery, shamelessness, shamelessness, hard to get into, tsk, tsk." Qi Yu covered his face with a fan, pretentious, and peeked at the various courtesans and geisha and the girls walking by, while commenting and pointing fingers, and acting was very happy.

"Oh, this master, I haven't seen it before, it's the first time I've come?" Qi Yu was looking around, and suddenly a woman wearing red and green flashed from beside her, and there was no doubt about the bustard.

The old bustard looked up and down at the two guests in front of her: the young man in front of her, who was only wearing a thin ink-colored robe in the cold winter, had a slender figure and a handsome face, and a gold silk belt around his waist made his waist appear more and more straight, holding a jade bone fan in his hand, and a jade pendant hanging from the tail of the fan, which showed that his taste was good.

Under the two sword eyebrows, Ruifeng's eyes are narrow and exquisite, the tails of the eyes are obliquely raised, the bridge of the nose is high, and the thin lips are always raised, as if with a bit of a light taste of self-appreciation.

At this time, the man in front of her looked at her fixedly, raised a smile and winked at her gently, so that she lost three points of her soul. The old bustard hurriedly patted his chest and calmed down:

Originally, this kind of unruly and unruly appearance was the best in the Fengyue field, but if you look closely, what is even more amazing is that the contour of his face is not a delicate and weak pointed jaw, but it is as clear as a knife and an axe, and the evil facial features are suppressed by the outline of the righteous path, making him look both stable and seductive.

The old bustard couldn't help but sigh, this posture was probably the first person she had ever seen.

Look at the man in black in the back, he is slightly inferior to the previous one: he can't see his wealth in plain clothes, he is not very old, but his black eyes are full of murderous energy, at this time, he stared at the old bustard, and the old bustard's hair suddenly stood on end, Jun is handsome, it just makes people a little frightened.

"Bustard, it's the first time for our brothers to come, I don't know if there are many beautiful sisters in your group of Fanglou?"

"Oh, a lot, a lot, not only a lot, but also a top one of them beautiful, I'm here is the biggest field in Beijing, and girls with ordinary looks can't get in."

The old bustard shook his handkerchief: "I just don't know if the son's wealth can keep up." ”

As soon as the old bustard finished speaking, a gold ingot was thrown into her hand, and the smile on her face was almost uncontrollable: "The two sons are please." Cuicui, say hello. ”

The beautiful girl who followed the bustard owed her body: "Childe come with me." Cuicui took them to the private room on the second floor, where she sat at the table and could see the geisha dancing and playing the piano on the first floor.

Qi Yu sat down and asked the other side of the fourteenth while drinking: "This Shangjing is lively, and there are so many people in a brothel." ”

Before Fourteen could answer, a young man's voice came from the private room next door: "Brother Tai is the first time to come to Beijing? ”

"It's not the first time I've come to Beijing, it's just the first time I've come to Qunfanglou."

"Then it's no wonder."

"Brother Kantai is very familiar with this, how often do you come?" Qi Yu said loudly: "Brother Tai doesn't mind if you can come over for a drink!" ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." There were two men in the private room next door, one of them looked very young in brocade clothes, and the other should be his little servant.

"Childe's surname?"

"Don't be surnamed Shen."

"Brother Shen!" Qi Yu closed the fan and bowed gently: "Brother Shen just said that it's strange, what do you mean?" ”

"Every fifteenth day of every month, Miss Qin Yan will go downstairs to dance a song, and only on this night, everyone can catch a glimpse of the immortals. There are so many people today, and because of this, there are not so many people in normal times. ”

"Immortal form?" Qi Yu became a little interested: "Eh, Brother Shen,"

Qi Yu just wanted to speak, but suddenly there was no sound around, and the man opposite looked at the lobby with a straight look.

Qi Yu followed his eyes: he saw pink and white petals flying all over the lobby, and along with the petals, there was a woman in a bright red neon coat and feather coat. Everyone was stunned, and the woman in red didn't say much, she raised her red sleeves and danced in the hall...

In the middle of the song, the red-clothed dancer also stopped, owed her body and said: "It's January 15 again, and the slave family is ugly." ”

Only then did the guests react, shouting and teasing the red-clothed dancer, who said nothing more, and sat lazily in the hall.

"Isn't it beautiful? It is truly the best in the world. ”

"Beauty is beautiful, it's still a little short of the world's beauty." Qi Yu drank the sake in his hand.

"Your vision is really high above your head." Shen Gongzi pursed his lips: "But no matter how beautiful it is, it's not something we can touch." ”

"The one with the highest price will get it, and Shen Gongzi will also spend a lot of money for a beauty, hahaha."

"It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, it's that the prime minister's son who dares to fight, people have the right, even if they only give three hundred taels of gold each time, they still occupy it in the end, it's been seven months, and I haven't invited Miss Qin Yan to drink a glass of wine."

Sure enough, after some noise, the third son of the prime minister hugged the beauty with three hundred taels of gold.

Qi Yu looked at Shen Feinan's depressed appearance on the other side and raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Shen, I'll invite her for you next month, but you pay for the few hundred taels of gold, how about it?" ”

"You, are you serious?" Shen Feinan was overjoyed, and after a while, his face drooped again: "Don't tease me, how can the prime minister's son provoke him..."

"I will help if I say it, and I won't tease you." Qi Yu closed the fan and gently tapped Shen Feinan's shoulder: "Brother Shen, I think the two of us are quite fateful, how about I invite you to drink tomorrow in the Star Tower?" ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll see you tomorrow! Today I will say goodbye first, and I will be broken by my father again when I go back too late. ”

Qi Yu sent Shen Feinan away with a smile, and walked out with fourteen clothes gathered together, at this time the street was already empty, and the master turned around and walked into the darkness......
