It is said that after Qian Yuan came out from Li Jin's place, he rushed to the palace barracks without stopping.

Holding the token, Qian Yuan successfully met the 23-year-old commander of the Forbidden Army, Yang Zhe, who was well-known throughout Da Qi.

"Commander Yang, Mr. Li Jin invites you to go to Chunfeng Tower with you."

Qian Yuan respectfully handed over Li Jin's token.

Yang Zhe was wearing Forbidden Army armor and had a handsome face that looked majestic.

He took the token and saw that it was indeed Li Jin's.

However, when he heard the words "Chunfeng Tower", he looked unhappy.

This idiot! I don’t even think about it, are your uncle and I the ones who can go to Chunfeng Tower?

Li Jin's "uncle" is the husband of the eldest princess. This claim is a crime of disrespect. Although everyone knows that Yang Zhe loves the eldest princess, this is a tacit thing and must not be stated openly.

.

Even Yang Zhe himself only dared to think about it in his heart. Normally, he would not even dare to get too close to the eldest princess, so as not to cause misunderstanding and resentment from the princess.

Seeing Yang Zhe's expression of displeasure, Qian Yuan did not think any further and just said: "Does Commander Yang think this token is fake?"

Yang Zhe snorted disdainfully and threw the token back to Qian Yuan.

"This token was given to Li Jin personally by the eldest princess. How can it be fake? Or do you think that because of my bad eyesight, I can't tell the truth from the fake?"

Yang Zhe's sense of oppression was no joke. With his armor and ninth-level cultivation, even a simple question made Qian Yuan break into a cold sweat on the spot.

Qian Yuandao: "I don't dare. It's just..."

Qian Yuan recounted the cause and effect to Yang Zhe on the spot. In short, he could use He Yunxiao to rub the shoulders of the brothel dancer to make a big fuss, weakening Wu Qinghou He Yuanhao, and by the way weakening the power of the prime minister.

Of course Yang Zhe knew this, but it was enough for Li Jin to do this. He didn't want to hang out with a brainless second generation like Li Jin who relied solely on family ties.

If this person was not the eldest princess's cousin, Yang Zhe would not even talk to him.

There is a deeper reason, that is, he, Yang Zhe, must "keep himself clean", otherwise he will never have the chance to get involved with the eldest princess.

But Qian Yuan obviously didn't expect this, nor did Li Jin, the second generation, nor did Yang Zhe himself.

So, Yang Zhe said: "Do you think I, the commander, have never thought of using He Yunxiao to make a fuss? Isn't Li Jin good at doing such a small thing? Is it necessary for me to see it?"

With just these three sentences, Qian Yuan felt Yang Zhe's terror. He finally figured out why Li Jin had to ask Yang Zhe to "see the grace of my master in correcting the righteous path."

Come to think of it, Mr. Li must have been bullied by Yang Zhe a lot, right?

But after all, Qian Yuan was a disciple of the Minister of Rites, and he still acted towards his own son.

Qian Yuan thought about it and said tentatively: "Does the young master know General Du Lie?"

Du Lie was convicted of "treason," but why he was convicted of "treason" is unclear in the case file.

In fact, everyone from the court to the common people knew about Du Lie's loyalty. But after General Du Lie was executed, few people mentioned him.

Of course, these people do not include the old members of the Chu family army and those who have received favors from Du Lie.

The Chu army was famous throughout the Qi Dynasty, and its most notable achievement was driving the Northern Yan army back to the north of Niashan Mountain and regaining the lost territory in Hexi.

Qian Yuan thought to himself: Since Yang Zhe comes from a wealthy family in Hexi, there is no reason not to contact the Chu family army.

As expected, Yang Zhe sighed and said, "Back then, two generals, Du Fan, taught me swordsmanship."

Qian Yuan was overjoyed and immediately said: "Du Yinyun, the daughter of General Du Lie, will make her debut at Chunfeng Tower today."

The three words "Du Yinyun" are like a stone falling into the pool of Yang Zhe's memories, causing ripples.

Five years ago, Yang Zhe was eighteen years old. This year, his martial arts cultivation reached the eighth level, and he entered the Qingyun Ranking for the first time. With his handsome appearance, all the girls in Hexi regarded him as the lover of their dreams.

Every time he went out and rode a horse down the street, many girls who had not yet left the palace would often stop and watch. Yang Zhe had long been accustomed to this kind of scene surrounded by flowers.

Until his father took him to Yinjing to visit his old friends.

That year, Du Yinyun was only thirteen years old, and it was not long after the name "Yinjing Chunlan" spread throughout Yinjing City.

When Yang Zhe was in Du Mansion, he was astonished when he saw Du Yinyun.

Her stunning face had already begun to show signs of her beauty at the age of thirteen. Coupled with her indifferent temperament and earthly temperament, she looked like a fairy walking out of a painting.

More importantly, Du Yinyun was not interested in Yang Zhe at all. Whether it was his handsome appearance, his superb martial arts talent, or his ink-filled articles.

This kind of indifference actually inspired Yang Zhe to like Du Yinyun even more.

Even when he was about to leave Yin Jing, he asked his father to ask General Du to marry him.

Du Lie did not refuse directly. He just said that he would wait until the pronunciation became stronger and then take a look.

After Yang Zhe returned to Hexi, when he faced various beauties throwing themselves into his arms, he subconsciously compared them with Du Yinyun, and the result was a dull moment.

I thought about it day and night, and waited hard. Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for Du Lie's consent, but instead waited until something happened to the Du family.

After the incident happened to the Du family, Yang Zhe has not stopped thinking about it. After asking around, some said that Du Yinyun committed suicide, some said that Du Yinyun was imprisoned, some said that Du Yinyun was imprisoned in the Jiaofang Division...

Only then did Yang Zhe give up completely.

It wasn't until he took part in the imperial examination and saw Meng Qingqian on the phoenix chariot that the love that had been extinguished in his heart began to burn brightly again.

At the moment, Qian Yuan said that "Du Yinyun" and "Chunfeng Tower" were juxtaposed, which immediately made Yang Zhe look ferocious.

He grabbed Qian Yuan's collar and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!"

Qian Yuan did not expect the commander's reaction to be so great, and immediately explained: "Commander Yang, why did I lie to you! Originally, the Du family was ruined, and Du Yinyun was sent to the Jiaofang Division to commit suicide. Du Lie had just died at that time,

No one wanted to offend the imperial court. The high-ranking official who could redeem Du Yinyun didn't want to redeem her, and the young master who wanted to redeem her was incompetent. Later, I didn't know where the owner of Chunfeng Tower came from, and he actually redeemed her from the Jiaofang Division."

"This all happened three years ago. Commander Yang only came to Yinjing two years ago. I don't know how normal it is. Even people from Yinjing would never know about this kind of thing if they didn't pay special attention to it."

Yang Zhe continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"There was no news after that. It was said that she was hidden in the snow to learn music. Then not long ago, Chunfeng Tower came out and said that there was a new oiran, Du Yinyun. However, Du Yinyun disappeared for nearly three years, and the people who cared about her were...

Less."

Yang Zhe loosened Qian Yuan's collar, threw him aside, and shouted angrily: "Prepare your horse!"

Yang Zhe, dressed in casual clothes, rode a horse and galloped through the night streets of Yinjing City.

The cold wind kept blowing on his face, calming down his excitement slightly.

It was an impulsive decision to go to Yin Jingcheng to find Du Yinyun, but at that time, Yang Zhe could no longer calm down.

When he thought of Du Yinyun's cold appearance, he felt like there was a fire burning in his heart.

That indifferent and cold girl was the woman who almost became his fiancée.

At first, she was the daughter of a general, and he was a member of a prominent family, so they were well matched.

Now, there is an oiran from a brothel and a commander of the imperial army. The two are completely different from each other.

After calming down, Yang Zhe has clearly seen the clues of the Du Yinyun incident. The reason why Du Yinyun was redeemed from the Jiaofang Division by others is probably because the remaining old ministries from the Chu Tianzhu incident ten years ago are operating secretly.

After Chu Tianzhu died, Fan Yu retired, and the upright Du Lie became the leader of all Chu family forces.

Therefore, even if Du Lie is only a fourth-rank general, he can still be a "match" with the second-rank He Yuanhao.

Yang Zhe, who was on horseback, had already found a sufficient reason for his trip to Chunfeng Tower.

For the sake of the eldest princess, he went to win over the old members of the Chu family army.

Of course, only he himself knows that his real purpose is to take this Du family legacy as his forbidden wife.
