Guose Tianxiang is located next to Yuhuatai.

This is a simple and elegant building complex with rockery, ponds, pavilions and terraces. The layout is typical of the Jiangnan style, and the details are filled with a warm feeling.

When Fu Xiaoguan and Xu Xinyan arrived here, the capital city was already ablaze with lights, and the big red lanterns outside the beautiful archway had already been lit.

At this moment, Sakura is putting on her makeup in front of the mirror.

I heard from the madam, Sister Zhou, that I was booked by Mr. Yan today, who said he was going to entertain a very important guest... This Mr. Yan had been to Guose Tianxiang twice, and he was very generous both times. It was obvious that he was a young master from a wealthy and powerful family.

Of course, Yinghua came from Guanyun City in Wu Dynasty and stayed here to sing and make money.

She secretly left Guanyun City and spent all the money she had on the road. After arriving in Jinling, she found that she had no relatives.

She once thought about going to find Fu Xiaoguan, but eventually she gave up the idea - she had only met Fu Xiaoguan once, and they were not relatives or friends. It was really inappropriate for her to visit him rashly.

Therefore, she entered the National Beauty and Fragrance Show with her beauty and excellent singing voice, and in just over a month she became the top star of the National Beauty and Fragrance Show.

There were also singing girls in the Ryukyu Kingdom. She knew that the singing girl was of humble status, so she wanted to earn another month's worth of silver, so that she would have a full five hundred taels of silver.

She was not sold to Guose Tianxiang. She was free. When she had enough money, she was ready to return to Guanyun City.

Because she had heard too much news about Fu Xiaoguan, he got married and married three beautiful women.

She extinguished the thoughts in her mind and wanted to bury this beauty deep in her heart.

At the same time, she was looking forward to Fu Xiaoguan coming here, seeing him, and singing a song he wrote for him.

Don’t literati and poets like to come to places like this?

But she had been waiting for two months, but had never seen Master Fu step into this place.

He is a very busy man.

He is now a third-rank official in the Yu Dynasty and has also become the Minister of Commerce.

Sakura didn't understand what the Ministry of Commerce was, but she thought it was related to business. Since he was the director of this new department, he naturally had a lot of things to do every day.

Unfortunately, I never got to see him again.

Fortunately, I didn't get to see him.

…

…

Fu Xiaoguan brought Xu Xinyan into the National Beauty and Heaven Fragrance Palace. Xu Xinyan was a little nervous. She put on her veil, looked at Fu Xiaoguan, and suddenly said, "It's not convenient for me to come to a place like this. How about I wait for you in the carriage?"

Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "That won't do. You are responsible for protecting my safety. If someone really tries to assassinate me later, how will you save me?"

Xu Xinyan thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she said nothing more and the two of them walked in.

Yan Liangze had arranged everything and was now waiting in the hall with Bian Muyu.

After the negotiations, they returned to the inn and discussed the situation they would face after returning home. Now they had an idea. Yan Liangze also entrusted a letter written by himself to a confidant and left Jinling today, riding fast to the capital of the Yi Kingdom.

So he was relieved now that he had put his mind at ease.

When Fu Xiaoguan stepped into the hall, he stood up, bowed, and smiled: "My Lord, I have kept you waiting for a long time. Come, come, let's go to the private room upstairs..."

Fu Xiaoguan clasped his fists in greeting and laughed heartily, "Brother Yan, you're too polite. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is my first time visiting this beautiful place. Now that Hongxiu Zhao has been burned down, I think this place will be doing very well."

The two of them walked towards the private room upstairs. Yan Liangze felt a little embarrassed, wondering what this kid meant by mentioning the Red Sleeves Move at this moment?

After entering the antique door, he sat down beside Fu Xiaoguan and said with emotion, "The Red Sleeves Dance is a unique piece of music in the Qinhuai River. It's a pity that it's gone now. I heard that Master Hu is fine, so I think it's only a matter of time before the Red Sleeves Dance is rebuilt."

Fu Xiaoguan looked around and suddenly leaned close to Yan Liangze's ear and whispered stealthily, "Brother Yan, is it true that the woman next to you couldn't be saved?"

Yan Liangze's heart tightened, and he shook his head and sighed, "Brother Fu should know that Rong'er invited Brother Xiaoguan to a banquet at Hongxiuzhao that night, and they happened to encounter bandits setting fire. Rong'er died in the fire, and her soul returned to the immortal mountain."

"Ah..." Fu Xiaoguan patted Yan Liangze's shoulder with deep sympathy, "What a pity! She is such a beautiful woman with a tragic fate. That night, the incident happened suddenly. The bandits came for me, but they implicated her as well.

Brother Yan, everyone will eventually die, but this death also has its own rules. "

Yan Liangze frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Some people's death is as light as a feather, while others are as heavy as Mount Tai. The death of that girl was as light as a feather. But I hope that after Brother Yan returns to his country, even if he dies, his death will be as heavy as Mount Tai!"

Yan Liangze turned his head and stared at Fu Xiaoguan, his face darkening, "What you said is not nice."

Fu Xiaoguan shrugged. "Honest advice is hard to hear..." He also looked at Yan Liangze and whispered, "In my opinion, Brother Yan's strategy now is to return home and make a suggestion to your emperor, stating that the Yi Kingdom is unable to fight the Yu Dynasty, so it should cede territory and pay compensation. And also offer your emperor a strategy, which is to attack the Huang Kingdom."

Yan Liangze frowned, wondering if this guy had captured my confidant?

But Fu Xiaoguan continued, "Brother Yan will have the ministers loyal to you create this momentum before returning home, so that your emperor will gradually accept this result. This seems good, but in my opinion, this may bring disaster to Your Highness."

Yan Liangze's heart sank, and he counted his breaths in silence. "My father is kind and compassionate, and he will definitely understand the truth."

"Your father may be kind and magnanimous, but you've overlooked the importance of the Eastern Palace! That position...your Highness has two younger brothers eyeing it!"

Yan Liangze's brows gradually relaxed, his lips tightly closed, and he looked at Fu Xiaoguan without blinking. After ten breaths, he began to laugh.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and grinned: "If it were me, I would cut the grass and wipe it out completely!"

"How to kill?"

"...Cut the tallest blade of grass!"

Yan Liangze narrowed his eyes slightly, "If I can't cut it off, I'm afraid it will be cut by the grass."

"To wear the crown, one must bear its weight! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and this depends on Brother Yan's ability. I'm just reminding you, Brother Yan, that ultimately, it's safest to control your own life. As for the rest... history is written by the victors, so everything else is unimportant."

Yan Liangze turned his head and looked out the window. The stars were shining brightly tonight, and it was very beautiful.

Only the living can see this beauty, enjoy this wonder, realize their ambitions, and appreciate the prosperity of the world.

I am really far inferior to Fu Xiaoguan!

This is all because I am too soft-hearted!

Fu Xiaoguan watched Yan Liangze's expression change, poured him a glass of wine, raised the glass and added more fuel to the fire, "Brother Yan, my fate is in my own hands! I hope that when we meet again, I will respectfully address you as Your Majesty!"
