  *****

  As soon as he heard Feng Yu's words, Zhangsun Chong slowed down his pace, wanting to hear what this person had to say.

  Morning and noon, summer and winter. Lower and upper reaches of the river. Youth and old age, green and white. Angler and farmer. Crane and dragon. Phoenix coronet shining, jade belt tinkling. Three yuan and first place, a thousand hectares, one product current salary ten thousand tons. In front of the flower pavilion, the immortal plum tree adjusts the national pulse; by the Xiangxiang Pavilion, the willow tree is favored to start the border wind.

  Zhang Sun Chong didn't know who this person was, but from the couplet he came up with, "Phoenix Crown", "Sui Band", "Three Yuan and First Thousand Mu", "One Product Current Salary Wan Zhong", it can be seen that he is extremely eager for fame, power and wealth.

  Cheng Bin saw Changsun Wu slow down his pace, following Changsun Wu's gaze to see the young man chatting enthusiastically, and said in a low voice: "That is Li Yifu who studies at Guozijian, quite talented in poetry."

  Chang Sun Chong was climbing the stairs when he heard this, and nearly fell over. He had run into Li Yi Fu, a treacherous man whose gentle appearance belied his cunning and ruthless nature. Whenever someone crossed him, he would secretly harm them, earning him the nickname "Smiling Dagger". His ability to use his softness to harm others also earned him the nickname "Human Cat".

  There are people who can be called this way, and there are a few good birds. Zhangsun Chong didn't think he would meet this person in such a situation.

  "Oh, it's pretty good!" Zhang Sun thought to himself, "When I have time, I'll trouble the shopkeeper to keep an eye on this person."

  "Alright!" Cheng Bin replied, as for the reason, although he was curious, he wouldn't ask further.

  The third floor has fewer people, entered a private room, ordered good wine and good dishes, ready to get drunk.

  Du He, Chai Lingwu, and Xiao Rui thought their writing was exceptional. They took turns bringing over their compositions to be reviewed, each having written a response and a poem, waiting for others to critique them.

  After drinking who knows how much wine, Li Ye Huan said with a grin: "Having wine without songs is dull, so today I'll sing one for everyone!"

  "Get out of here!" Duan Zixuan's second son, Duan Gui, threw away the empty wine bottle in his hand. "With your terrible singing voice, others get paid for singing, but you sing to take lives! I'd rather dance a segment myself!" In an instant, Zhao Benshan's Heitu Da Ye bowed down.

  Duan Yu got up, swaying from side to side, and jumped into the famous Hu Xuan dance of the Tang Dynasty. With his hands and feet dancing in coordination with Duan Yu's powerful spinning, he could also see a few points of heroic spirit.

  Wei Chi Baoqing was a thick-skinned person, who had long forgotten that his hand was swollen from being beaten by Li Gang. He picked up a stool and tapped out the rhythm, serving as accompaniment.

  In the morning, Xiao Rui still seemed like a gentle and refined young master, but after three cups of wine, he shed his disguise, lifted up his clothes, tied them around his waist, held chopsticks in one hand and a plate in the other, and started dancing to the beat.

  The number of people dancing is increasing, and it seems like a chaotic dance party. Zhangsun Chong had been drinking earlier and left a clever move, his drinking action was very generous, but his mouth was wide open and not big, most of the wine spilled on his clothes, so he can be considered one of the few sober ones inside.

  Chang Sun Chong was just getting into the excitement when he heard a woman's shrill cry for help from next door. The voice was so piercing that it naturally caught the attention of the dancing crowd as well.

  Duan Yu threw the wine bottle in his hand to the ground and cursed: "I'd like to see which bastard dares to bully men and women under broad daylight!"

  Duan Gui's words were like a summons, and the crowd of young men surged forward in a flurry of noise. Zhangsun Chong was worried that something would go wrong, so he quickly sent one of his attendants to find Cheng Chuwei and Cheng Chuliang at the Golden Armor Guard.

  Cheng Yu quickly went to find Zhang Gui and went out to look for Da Shao Ye, Er Shao Ye.

  Duan Yu and others entered, seeing three Turkic dressed merchants surrounding a singing girl, even tearing the woman's clothes, revealing her flesh, making the crowd slightly avert their eyes.

  The woman saw someone coming and made a final resistance, shouting: "Save me! Young master, save me!"

  Cheng Chu knew that the singing girl was a virtuous woman from a good family in their village, but she sang here during her spare time to earn some money to support her family. Holding up his wine bottle, he said: "This group of Turkic bastards actually dared to bully our Tang Dynasty's women, they really deserve a beating."

  Everyone had already drunk too much and couldn't take any more stimulation, so they took the wine bottles, plates, bowls, and benches in their hands and smashed them on the heads of these three Turks.

  Chang Sun Chong couldn't bear to see a woman exposing her breasts and chest, so he quickly took off his outer garment and draped it over the woman, saying: "Hurry up and put this on before you go!"

  Chang Sun Chong didn't know any martial arts, but that didn't stop him from kicking the Turks in the back. Du He, who was not far away, was doing the same thing. This guy was even drunk, yet he still knew how to use his small body, and whenever he went up, he would get beaten. Instead of getting in the way, he would occasionally sneak in a kick from the side.

  A few Turks, although tall and strong, couldn't withstand the large number of people led by Zhangsun Chong. In no time at all, they were beaten until their buttocks were bruised and they fled with their tails between their legs.

  Chang Sun rushed down to take a look and saw that Cheng Chumo had arrived, feeling that it was not suitable to stay here for long. It's not the time for the Tang Dynasty to use troops against the Turks yet, so they can't make a big fuss, fight for a while, and then hurry up and run away, in order not to disrupt Li Er's and the court officials' deployment.

  "Brothers, someone's coming, let's hurry up and leave!" Zhangsun Chong couldn't just leave his brothers behind, if he did, he wouldn't be able to mix in with the aristocratic crowd of Tang Dynasty anymore. Brothers aren't for selling out, but for stabbing in the back.

  The few sober ones present felt that they had beaten the Turks today and might have caused big trouble for their families, so they retreated one after another, preparing to leave.

  Three Turks, seeing Changsun Chong and others were afraid, prepared to leave, suddenly had the courage, mouth cursing: "You guys are dead, my brother-in-law is a red man next to the Turkic envoy. You hit me today, I will double pay back."

  Duan Yi suddenly raised his fist and punched the person who had just spoken in the face, taking advantage of the opportunity to say: "Brothers, go first, I'll cover you!"

  Li Ye and Duan Zan had a good relationship with Duan Gan, so they wouldn't abandon him. Li Ye said: "Second brother, I'll help you!"

  Chang Sunzhong saw someone coming out and followed him, he still had important things to do, pulling the furious Cheng Chubai away. Cheng Chubai was the young master here, worried that he would be recognized, just met Cheng Chumo at the door.

  "Cheng Jia big brother, we just drank and fought with three Turkic men who bullied the singing girls. These three people seem to have some background, Duan Jia second brother and Ye Hui brothers are still inside! We don't want to be recognized, so you say it's just a group of Long'an thugs causing trouble." Zhangsun Chong has already started thinking about the follow-up handling.

  Cheng Chumo followed Cheng Yaojin for a long time, and he still had some insight. He nodded and said, "I understand, you all hurry back home and be good for the next few days. I'll go rescue Duan Cui and Ye Hu."

  "Please!"

  Changsun Wugong's heart was burning with anxiety, he looked around and found that except for Li Ye and Duan Hua, Fang Yizhi seemed to be missing. He worried that this guy had been knocked unconscious somewhere. Changsun Wugong was not at ease, so he went back again.

  Cheng Chumu quietly approached, Li Ye and Duan Hui knew that the opportunity to escape had arrived, they gave Cheng Chumu a signal, and quickly ran downstairs, just in time to meet Longsun Chong who was going upstairs.

  "Chang Sun brother, why haven't you left?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

  "I didn't see Yaoyue, I don't know if he's inside or not?" Changsun said while walking, "You're injured, hurry back!"

  "No way, Chong Xiongdi doesn't know martial arts, let's just the two of us go!" Duan Yu turned around and went upstairs, they were the ones who had caused trouble, and couldn't let Changsun Wuji and Fang Yuyao bear the consequences.

  The Turkic man was furious, spitting on Cheng Chumo's head and saying: "Isn't it just playing with the women of the Great Tang? I've been to Chang'an since last year, and I've played with dozens of women. To take a fancy to that song girl is an honor for the Great Tang, yet you don't know what's good for you!"

  "Today, I was actually beaten by someone. You say they are thugs from Chang'an? That's nonsense! Do thugs dress so well? Who are you kidding!" Another Turk cursed.

  He endured silently with great effort, his palm opening and closing like a fan.

  Changsun Chong hastily walked to the front of Cheng Chumo, and only then did Cheng Chumo recall Changsun Chong's previous instructions. In the past, Han Xin endured humiliation, he couldn't take things personally, if he wanted revenge, he would have to wait until they went to war against the Turks, his father would definitely be at the forefront, cutting down several Turkic people to avenge today's shame!

  "They're here again! That fatty, catch him for me!" The Turkic people recognized Changsun Wuji and Li Ye, as well as Duan Huaizhen.
