Chapter 854 Arrival at Gaochang

The war in the northwest front was in full swing, but in the rear of Gaochang, there was not much influence by the war. In addition to being unable to enter and exit the border at will, the residents of Gaochang still worked and lived as usual. They only occasionally talked about current affairs, and those with relatives in their families would also care about the situation on the frontline.

Of course, after all, it is a war between the two countries. Although the battlefield is not in Gaochang, the bad impact is still inevitable. For example, some merchants in Gaochang only withdraw money and do not save money. The restaurant only has three or two guests all day long. As for the inn, it is even more deserted. At this time, no one dares to go out to the place. Most people stay at home honestly and avoid war disasters. How can they have the intention to go out and stay in the inn?

"Deyi Zui" is a restaurant and inn opened by a foreign merchant. It has been even more affected. It has not seen any customers entering outside for more than ten days. The shopkeepers in the store are so idle that their hands have fallen out a lot of calluses. The food in the kitchen is made and poured. The fresh vegetables turn bad and the fresh rice turns moldy. They lose their capital almost every day.

Other inns and restaurants have already closed down, but it is strange that "drunk" is not bad. Even though they are losing money every day, they have never heard from the shopkeeper that they want to close down and rest, but there is no guest room to come to eat and stay in the hotel. The business of the restaurant is still the same, and it still has to open on time every day and never stops.

Maybe God saw them pitiful. Today, the persistence of "Die Yizhu" has finally paid off. Early this morning, a horse was parked in front of the store. A young customer and a slightly fat entourage got out of the car and entered the store. For the first time in more than ten days, "Die Yizhu" has welcomed guests who wanted to stay in the store and eat.

Perhaps it was a long time since the guests had not been here, but this time the shopkeeper who was "Die Yiji" actually came out to greet him. As soon as the customer entered the store, the old shopkeeper took the guests into the most luxurious third-floor VIP room in the restaurant. The shopkeeper sighed and thought that the powerful and powerful who wanted to enter the VIP room should not come to make reservations three or five days in advance. Today, this young man was cheaper. Not only could he take the seat directly, but he could also have the old shopkeeper personally take care of him.

"Little man Liu Delong, I've seen the boss!" He welcomed the two of them into the suite and stepped back to follow the guy. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, the old shopkeeper who was "de-yi-yi-drunk" suddenly bent down and gave a deep salute to the young man sitting on the chair.

"The old shopkeeper is polite, so sit down and reply." Liu Yi looked at Liu Delong up and down. When he decided to open a branch in Gaochang, Liu Delong was the candidate he personally selected. Judging from the wealth transported from Gaochang over the past year, Liu Delong did a pretty good job in Gaochang, at least he had already established his roots.

"Have you arrived yet?" After taking the tea poured by Liu Delong, Liu Yiu was not polite and asked him directly.

"Go back to the head," Liu Delong bowed and replied, "Because I don't know the exact time of the head's arrival, the villain just sent someone to General Chu's mansion to rank and did not say when he would meet here. However, the villain had sent his confidant to inform him just now, and I think General Chu will arrive in a while."

"Well," Liu Yi nodded gently. Although it was his first time to come to Gaochang, he still knew some of the situations here. When the restaurant was established, Chu Yi had to help him. Not only did he get a land store in Gaochang Imperial City, but his geographical location was also very convenient, not too far from the house where Chu Yi and other high-ranking nobles lived.

"Give me some instructions," Liu said with a sip of tea with his head down, "Prepare a table of good wine and food. I want to discuss some confidential matters with General Chu, and don't let someone get close to this room."

"Yes, boss!" After responding, Liu De raised his head and left. In a short while, a whole table of sumptuous banquets were placed in front of Liu Yi. Liu Yi sat there quietly, waiting for Chu Yi's arrival.

"Young Master, will there be any danger if we come here so rashly and meet Chu Yi directly?" Standing behind their young master, Liu Cheng whispered: "That Chu Yi is not a Tang people after all. If he has any evil intentions, then we are..."

You know, their young master is now a thorn in the eyes of the old man Hou Junji and a thorn in his flesh. He always wishes to get rid of it. If Chu Yi had a second intention and wanted to show something in front of Hou Junji, wouldn’t their young master go to the trap and become a meal on the plate?

"Haha," Liu Yi shook his head and chuckled, and said in a low voice: "For us, Chu Yi is indeed an outsider. The so-called non-sex tribes must have different hearts, but don't forget that for people like Chu Yi and others, why is Hou Junji not an alien or an outsider?"

"Hou Junji is in Gaochang State to take charge of military power. He is usually arrogant and does not take the local generals of Gaochang seriously at all," Liu Yi continued, "If you were also a general of Gaochang, and you saw an outsider riding on your head, what would you think in your heart?"

"What's more," Liu Yi continued to say without waiting for Liu Cheng to answer, "What's more, the reason why Chu Yi was trapped in the Tang Dynasty was mainly because he was framed by Hou Junji. You said that there are so many reasons on his side. Will Chu Yi put us in an unfavorable situation in order to please Hou Junji?"

"Young Master said, Cheng thought too much." Liu Cheng echoed and said, "No matter how much the young master helped him back then, he had the grace of survival. I think Chu Yi is a foreigner and would not have any bad thoughts on the young master."

"Okay, just stay at ease." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Although our trip is dangerous, the dangerous place is definitely not Chu Yi. Chu Yi will arrive later, don't say more."

"Yes, young master!" After responding, Liu Cheng closed his mouth tactfully and stood respectfully aside.

When General Chu's mansion heard the "Deyiji" report, he said that the person he had been waiting for had arrived. Chu Yi's heart became a little nervous. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi was really bold. Even though he knew that Hou Junji had a certain power in Gaochang, he still dared to enter the city during the day. Aren't he afraid that it would fall into Hou Junji's hands?

Chu Yi had heard of some things that happened on the front line last month. It was rumored that Hou Junji had proposed that if Li Tang was willing to hand over the Liu family and relieve Gao Chang of his disrespect, the old man would retreat to the truant. Although a discerning person could tell at a glance that this was just a joke, Hou Junji would not have been able to quit the war between the two sides because of his own selfishness, it also showed from the other side that Hou Junji's resentment towards the Liu clan had reached a deep level.

Chu Yi had no doubt that if Liu Yi really fell into Hou Junji's hands, it would be no surprise that Hou Junji would torture him and torture him.

"Is it reckless?" Chu Yi shook his head slightly. If Liu Yi was a reckless person, then there would be few people in the world who could be cautious in their actions.

"He is sure that Hou Junji would not have thought that he would come to Gaochang Capital at this time." Chu Yi thought in his heart: "I was surprised and attacked him unpredictable. This Liu Yi has already gained the three flavors of military tactics."

In addition to being grateful to Liu Yi, Chu Yi was more sincerely admired. He did not mention the deeds of Hou Junji, the Minister of War, and the book "Hao Hei" given to him by Liu Yi has benefited Chu Yi very much. How could those who can grasp the people's hearts and the situation in the officialdom so well, and how could they do such a reckless act and easily take risks?

I'm afraid that it's not just Hou Junji, but Liu Yi's trip was even guessed by Chu Yi and the Princess Jin Ye in the palace. Otherwise, when the two countries were fighting, how could Liu Yi, a Tangren, who was very sensitive to his identity and status, enter and exit the enemy's territory so calmly?

Over the past few months, Your Majesty's body has gradually weakened. I heard from the old doctor in the palace that Your Majesty's life is probably not long. It can be as long as three months, or as short as ten days, it will be exhausted.

At this time, the eldest prince and the third prince were all accompanying the army to the east, and Hou Junji and his tens of thousands of soldiers were not in the capital. If Your Majesty had any surprise at this time, it would undoubtedly be a good opportunity for Princess Jin Ye. The most critical question now before Princess Jin Ye is, how can she successfully ascend the throne after Your Majesty returns to heaven, and how can she avoid the tens of thousands of soldiers who have Hou Junji and his eldest brother and third brother outside afterwards?

Liu Yi was afraid that he could see this, so he rushed over at this critical moment. The two had the same goal, one was rich enough to compete with the country, and the other was powerful. Princess Jin Ye had no reason to refuse such a combination of both parties. And Chu Yi could naturally gain some benefits from it. After all, after destroying Hou Junji, Gao Chang always needed a general who could show and suppress the situation.

"Miss San'er," Chu Yi changed his clothes in the bedroom. Before leaving, he called his confidant to him and told him softly: "You are obsessed with my general's token and go to the palace. He said to Princess Jin Ye, and said that the guests in the east had arrived. Please ask her to "get drunk" to meet the guests in the city."

"Yes, Master!"

"Hey, wait!" Seeing that Xiaosan'er turned around and was about to leave, Chu Yi stopped him again and in a deep voice, "I remember that I can only tell Princess Jin Ye to know about this matter, so don't let the third person listen!"
