The prince is more stable

Chapter 60 Midnight Attack
In the Song Dynasty, it was actually a very normal thing for an old man in his fifties to go to a brothel, or it could be said to be a refined thing.

Su Che went to a brothel at his age not for pleasure, but purely to listen to music and get drunk.

Su Che has been in a bad mood recently, which is somewhat related to Zhao Xiaoqian.

As a member of the old party, when Zhao Xu began to exclude the old party, Su Che felt that his neck was obviously tightened and the pressure was very great.

He had a premonition that he would soon be exiled from the capital like other old party officials.

He did not care about his personal future, but he hated the so-called new law. If the new law were to be reinstated, the people of the world would be plunged into dire straits again.

The Zhao Xiaoqian in front of him was the initiator of the new law. It was difficult for Su Che to remain calm when facing him.

It was just that the basic qualities of a scholar restrained his anger, so at this moment he not only could refrain from cursing, but was even willing to sit down and drink with Zhao Xiaoqian.

Su Che originally planned to sit down and discuss the pros and cons of the new law with Zhao Xiaoqian. He even tried to persuade Zhao Xiaoqian to change his political views and win him over to the side of the old party.

The idea was somewhat naive. Su Che had no idea that Zhao Xiaoqian actually had no political views. Everything he did was just to cater to Zhao Xu's political views.

Jiang Miaoxian, who was sitting in the elegant pavilion, was still playing the piano, but she was very shocked.

A young man who was less than twenty years old actually drank with the prime minister of the time. The prime minister took the initiative to talk to him about state affairs, but he repeatedly avoided the topic.

Although Jiang Miaoxian was a prostitute, she had heard some rumors in the city of Bianjing.

Legend has it that after the current emperor took power, he made many new initiatives, many of which were related to a young clan member. The court bid farewell to the old and welcomed the new in the turmoil, and replaced a large number of court officials, which was also related to the young clan member.

So... is it him?

He speaks incoherently, has a nonchalant expression on his face, and always looks absent-minded. How can such a person change the direction of a country's political situation?
Jiang Miaoxian couldn't help but feel a little curious about Zhao Xiaoqian.

When a woman becomes curious about a man, it is probably the beginning of a story.

Su Che was actually a little drunk.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Zhao Xiaoqian with a complicated look.

After seeing Zhao Xiaoqian's demeanor and conversation, Su Che had a good impression of this young man. It was a pity that he chose to stand on the side of the New Party.

What a good boy! Su Che watched him jump into the filthy cesspool.

Zhao Xiaoqian was willing to continue chatting with Su Zhe, mainly because he wanted to talk about his brother Su Shi.

This kind of mentality is somewhat like a fan mentality. After all, who doesn't want to meet a living scholar Su and listen to those celebrity anecdotes that are not seen in history books?

The three people in the elegant pavilion had their own thoughts. Zhao Xiaoqian and Su Zhe both drank some wine, so they talked about their own things.

Su Che kept talking about the evils of the new law, citing various facts, and told Zhao Xiaoqian anxiously that the court and the government could not continue like this, and the Song Dynasty would be doomed sooner or later.

Zhao Xiaoqian kept mentioning Su Shi, what did Su Shi like to eat, what position did Su Shi sleep in, and whether such a divine figure as Su Shi would also poop...

Jiang Miaoxian played the piano silently, but her constantly shaking shoulders and the increasingly chaotic piano tunes betrayed her current mood.

Finally, Su Che suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Zhao Xiaoqian.

Then his head fell heavily on the table and he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Xiaoqian was startled and his face turned pale. He reached out to feel Su Zhe's breath and took the initiative to speak to Jiang Miaoxian for the first time.

"He...you testify, I didn't do anything to him." Zhao Xiaoqian said in fear.

Jiang Miaoxian simply glanced at Su Zhe and said, "Minister Su is just drunk. He'll be fine once he wakes up."

Zhao Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, you guys take good care of him, I'm leaving."

Just as he was about to stand up, Jiang Miaoxian suddenly called him: "Sir, take care."

Zhao Xiaoqian waved his hands randomly: "Okay, okay, goodbye."

Jiang Miaoxian wanted to laugh but suppressed it, saying, "'Walk slowly' means please stay, sir."

Zhao Xiaoqian then stopped and turned to look at her.

Jiang Miaoxian bit her lower lip and whispered, "How could my appearance, so unassuming, not be appreciated by the young master?"

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that you, sir, have never asked me my name from the beginning to the end, and you have never even looked at me..." Jiang Miaoxian looked at him resentfully, her charming eyes were particularly alluring.

Zhao Xiaoqian pointed at the unconscious Su Zhe, then at her, and said with a dry laugh, "This is not good. If the old man knew I was trying to steal his girl, he would come knocking on my door. I would be too embarrassed to fight back because of my guilty conscience..."

Jiang Miaoxian chuckled and said, "Sir, what are you thinking? Minister Su and I are just close friends. I haven't overstepped my bounds. If you don't believe me, you can ask him in person." Zhao Xiaoqian looked her over carefully and asked, "Are you the most beautiful courtesan?"

"Yes, my name is Jiang Miaoxian, nice to meet the Prince of Chu." Jiang Miaoxian stood up and bowed gracefully.

Zhao Xiaoqian decisively refused: "Oiran is the most expensive. Goodbye!"

Zhao Xiaoqian was a pragmatic person, and pragmatic people must get value for money when spending money.

A woman you spend a fortune on but can't sleep with is like a flashy foreign luxury brand bag. A rational person like Zhao Xiaoqian would definitely not throw money into this bottomless pit.

Jiang Miaoxian opened her eyes wide in disbelief. This prince actually cared so much about money. Was he serious?
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoqian was really about to leave, Jiang Miaoxian became anxious and called out to him, "Young Master, wait a minute!"

"If you feel depressed or want to relieve your worries in the future, you may come to me. Just tell me your name and I will prepare a bed for you..."

Jiang Miaoxian added with a smile, "...how about I not accept your money?"

Zhao Xiaoqian's expression couldn't help but relax.

Well, that's right. We can chat, discuss things, and make friends. Taking money will hurt the relationship.

"You really don't charge any money?" Zhao Xiaoqian asked solemnly.

Jiang Miaoxian covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Don't worry, sir, I will never take your money."

"I will come here often in the future!" Zhao Xiaoqian promised solemnly.

I won't do it for free. Next time I will go to Qingyang Lao Niu Bizi and offer her a longevity tablet.

For a compassionate female Bodhisattva, it is not excessive to live to be a hundred years old.

…………

After coming out of the brothel, Zhao Xiaoqian sat in the carriage and yawned listlessly.

He did enter the brothel, but it also seemed like he didn't.

The purpose of losing my virginity was not achieved, but I got to know Su Che and a free stunning beauty, so it cannot be said that I gained nothing.

It was late at night, the carriage was shaking, and Zhao Xiaoqian was falling deeper into sleep.

Outside the carriage, there was still a bustling world. There was no curfew in the city of Song Dynasty, and the nightlife in Bianliang was also very prosperous.

After passing through the city and leaving Panlou East Street, the outside finally became quiet.

Chen Shou rode his horse beside the carriage. He was a little tired and yawned from time to time while riding on the horse. The imperial guards behind him followed lazily.

Everyone wanted to go back and have some sleep.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped in a dark alley.

Zhao Xiaoqian was awakened and lifted the carriage curtain in dissatisfaction: "Why don't you leave?"

The driver pointed to a pile of debris in front of him and said hesitantly, "Sir, the road ahead seems to be blocked..."

Zhao Xiaoqian looked intently. It was dark at night, but he could vaguely see a pile of stones, broken furniture and other things piled up in the alley in front of the carriage, blocking the road completely.

Zhao Xiaoqian sighed and said, "Who is so uncivilized as to throw garbage in the middle of the road... Chen Shou, brothers, please help move it away. Let's go home and sleep."

The twenty or so imperial guards behind were about to move forward but were stopped by Chen Shou.

"Prince, please get off the carriage quickly!" Chen Shou said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xiaoqian didn't ask the reason, but immediately rolled out of the car without saying a word and hid behind Chen Shou with swift movements.

At this moment, he had already realized that something was wrong. The villain died because he talked too much. Zhao Xiaoqian would never ask questions at this time.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Chen Shou waved his hand, and more than 20 imperial guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded Zhao Xiaoqian. Everyone's eyes scanned the dark surroundings vigilantly.

"Something's wrong! Prince, let's retreat on foot to a more lively area." Chen Shoudao said.

Zhao Xiaoqian nodded without hesitation.

Just as more than twenty people took a step forward, they suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings coming from all directions.

Under the cover of night, more than ten sharp arrows were shot at the carriage, as well as Zhao Xiaoqian, Chen Shou and others.
