Chapter 84

The next day.

Golden sunlight shrouded the entire Changancheng, and soon, it was mid-morning.

Perhaps it was because he was truly too tired from the past few days in Linjiang City, or perhaps because Lü Luo's massage was too comfortable, Gao Yang slept until almost noon.

This was thanks to the Duke of Ding's Prefecture not being particular about such rules.

Waking up, Gao Yang was full of energy.

There were no toothbrushes in ancient times, so he could only use a simple toothbrush made of willow branches, plus salt water to rinse his mouth.

"Let's go, to the brothel to listen to music!"

Gao Yang took the remaining silver and was about to go out.

Not returning home at night in the Rouge Pavilion, listening to music in the brothel every day—this was the life a playboy should have!

Uncle Fu saw Gao Yang and hurriedly stepped forward, "Young Master, where are you going?"

Gao Yang patted the small box containing the silver, "Isn't it obvious? Naturally, to the brothel to listen to music."

Uncle Fu's mouth twitched, and he shook his head, "Young Master, you cannot go now."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang instantly exploded.

"Why?"

"Give me a reason."

To put it mildly, going to the Rouge Pavilion is to appreciate the customs and culture of Great Qian's Changan; to put it grandly, this concerns his club business and the happiness of all men in Great Qian!

And he's not allowed to go?

Uncle Fu hurriedly said, "There are distinguished guests arriving at the prefecture today. The Old Duke specifically named that the Young Master should wait on the side to learn military strategy."

"Learn military strategy?" Gao Yang's expression turned strange.

He remembered that as a poisonous strategist, he apparently came from a family of generals!

It was indeed unjustifiable not to know military strategy.

"If the Young Master wants to listen to music in the brothel, wait until after learning military strategy. Furthermore..." Uncle Fu looked at the small box in Gao Yang's arms and continued, "You aren't going to listen to music; you are going to spend the night."

Gao Yang's face turned red.

"Is that so? Then I don't understand."

To this, Uncle Fu just smiled and said nothing.

After Gao Yang put the silver back, he came out again to get some food, chatting with Uncle Fu while eating.

"Uncle Fu, at your age, you are quite knowledgeable about these ways."

Gao Yang looked at Uncle Fu's slightly graying hair and couldn't help but tease.

Uncle Fu said modestly, "Young Master is too kind; I only know a little bit."

Just as the two were chatting.

The voice of a servant suddenly resounded throughout the Duke of Ding's Prefecture.

"Grand General of the Right Wei Guard, Qin Zhenguo, has arrived!"

"Grand General of the Left Wei Guard, Lu Zhen, has arrived!"

"Duke of Protecting the State, Zhao Ponu, has arrived!"

Soon, led by Qin Zhenguo, several great generals of the Great Qian military entered the Duke of Ding's Prefecture together.

Following behind them was Gao Feng, who looked very polite, leading the way. In truth, his generation was a step behind, and he couldn't get a word in.

Gao Tianlong sat in the center of the main hall, drinking a cup of hot tea, a smile on his aged face.

Seeing Gao Tianlong, the group bowed in unison.
