The sky was clear in the last second, but the next second, dark clouds suddenly came over and the sky gradually turned dark.

The rain in summer is not as gentle and long as the spring rain, not as the coolness of autumn rain, nor as the cold domineering as the rain in winter, but with exciting thunder and silver lightning.

Before the rain, the sun was scorching, and everyone was sweating heavily by the sun. When the heavy rain came, people began to take shelter from the rain.

The rain seemed to be a bit lasting. Since attending the ritual of Concubine Wu Hui that day, the weather has been like this for several consecutive days, so the people in the capital simply stayed in the house.

Except for one person.

The raindrops hit the umbrella and made a dull sound of Dada. Li Jiuzhou walked slowly and came to Yang Guozhong's mansion.

The umbrella blocked the wind and rain, and only the chill in spring in the rain surrounding it seeped into the umbrella. Li Jiuzhou was dressed in plain clothes, showing off his fierce look, and his heroic face looked extremely energetic.

"Director Li is here, please come." The servant in Yang Guozhong's mansion, who was in charge of leading the road, reached out with a blank expression and led him into the yard.

Li Jiuzhou, under the eaves of the umbrella, turned his head slightly, and could hear the excitement ahead clearly. He smiled and turned to Old Man Zhang and said, "It seems that there are many people coming to celebrate their birthday today."

The servant who led the way rushed to smile and replied: "The master is entertaining guests inside. You can't neglect guests like Duke Li Jie."

Li Jiuzhou knew that Yang Guozhong's mansion was said to be the most advanced place in the capital, and even more romantic than brothels. All the ministers in the court were regular visitors here. He nodded with a smile and walked into the backyard with the accumulated water on the stone slabs.

There are many bamboo shadows in the courtyard, and there are layers of rockery. You can see the guards on Yang Guozhong's mansion everywhere. Today is Yang Guozhong's birthday, so safety issues must be guaranteed.

Yang Guozhong's mansion was quite large, but he walked for a long time because he walked slowly.

Seeing Li Jiuzhou coming, the officials who came to celebrate Yang Guozhong's birthday were a little surprised. It was no secret that Li Jiuzhou and Yang Guozhong were incompatible.

With a swish, Li Jiuzhou put away the umbrella and handed it to the old man Zhang behind him, with his hands behind him, and squinted his eyes and looked into the room.

The living room here is quite large, with a large flower round table placed in it, and there is a large space around it. The various decorations are extremely exquisite, and the round table is very wide enough to sit down fifteen or sixteen people, but at this time there were only a few people with status sitting.

The rest were arranged by Yang Guozhong in other side rooms.

Seeing Li Jiuzhou coming uninvited, two unusual cold lights began to bloom in Yang Guozhong's extremely ordinary eyes. He looked directly at Li Jiuzhou. After a while, he spoke, "Li Qing is really a distinguished guest."

Li Jiuzhou did not answer this polite remark immediately, but he felt it in his heart. It seems that Yang Guozhong should not be very welcome to come this time.

Li Jiuzhou sat opposite Yang Guozhong, looked at the powerful minister, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Although Yang Xiang is old, he still looks as energetic as ever."

The rest of the people on the table walked away with tactfulness, freeing up space for the two of them to talk.

"Time is not forgiving people." Yang Guozhong sighed, looking at Li Jiuzhou's pretty face, and couldn't help but shake his head, "No matter how energetic I am, I am not as promising as Li Qing's young."

Seeing his words a little ridiculed, Li Jiuzhou laughed and replied: "Yang Xiang is so humble. Now that you are powerful in the world, how can I compare with you?"

This is quite polite, Yang Guozhong is bound to be with him

Chapter 204                                                                                                                             

In fact, Yang Guozhong has always been arrogant since he gained power, and he has not reached the level of fear of the newly-resurgent Li Jiuzhou.

At least, he cannot be compared with An Lushan.

Yang Guozhong suddenly smiled and said, "I wonder if Li Qing is here to celebrate his birthday or something else?"

Li Jiuzhou waved, and Old Man Zhang handed over the box in his hand. Li Jiuzhou took it and put it on the table, "I'm here to celebrate Yang Xiang's birthday."

Yang Guozhong asked, "Is this a gift?"

Li Jiuzhou nodded and gently opened the box, but it was a small clock made of gold.

Send a bell, send it to the end?

Yang Guozhong glanced at it and laughed: "I thought the things Li Qing gave would not be as ordinary as others, but I didn't expect that they could not do without gold, silver and jewelry."

Li Jiuzhou frowned, wondering if he really didn't understand or pretended to be confused, and said, "I have always been poor and have no gifts to show off, so I gave Yang Xiang a bell."

A sinister look flashed in Yang Guozhong's eyes, and he said lightly: "It's a blessing that Li Qing has this kind of heart."

Li Jiuzhou blinked slightly, trying to see something from the other person's face, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.

I originally wanted to anger Yang Guozhong, but I didn't expect that he would hide so well.

Yang Guozhong suddenly asked again: "Li Qing, did you want to come today's banquet yourself, or did someone instruct you to come?"

"How can I miss such a grand event? Of course I want to come here myself." Li Jiuzhou was not afraid of him.

"I thought who asked you to pass the message?" Yang Guozhong said slowly.

In fact, it is clear that the matter is here. Whoever Yang Guozhong mentioned naturally refers to the prince.

Li Jiuzhou and the prince were very close, but they could not hide it from Yang Guozhong. Today, the prince did not come to celebrate his birthday or send a gift.

Yang Guifei is now imprisoned in the palace and has temporarily fallen out of favor. These are all done by Li Jiuzhou, so Yang Guozhong naturally understands it.

What made Yang Guozhong even more angry was that this young young man dared to actually sit on the table, talk to him and humiliate him in front of him.

If there was no one behind him as his backer, how could he dare to be so rude?

Li Jiuzhou didn't care anything. He seemed to be just to mock Yang Guozhong. For a moment, the two of them all came out.

It seemed that he finally saw Yang Guozhong's unhappiness. Li Jiuzhou smiled and said, "Yang Xiangke still likes the gift I gave?"

Although Yang Guozhong was extremely angry, he was at home and his birthday, and it was not easy to have a good start. He endured it and returned to his calmness. He looked at Li Jiuzhou and said lightly: "When Li Qing's birthday is coming, I will give you the same clock."

"That would be better." Li Jiuzhou smiled slightly and replied.

Seeing that the scene was a little awkward, Yang Guozhong smiled and said, "Su Wen Li Qing has a good relationship with the imperial concubine. Now that the imperial concubine is out of favor, how does Li Qing view this matter?"

Finally, he talked about the topic. After hearing what he said, Li Jiuzhou sneered in his heart, looked at Yang Guozhong and said, "If the imperial concubine really falls out of favor, some people may not be able to sit still."

His words clearly point to Yang Guozhong.

It seems that Li Jiuzhou would be so direct. Yang Guozhong was stunned. He has been immersed in the officialdom for decades and has seen all kinds of scenes.

Chapter 204                                                                                                                             

His eyes rolled, and he said with a gentle smile: "Li Qing is really a person with a temperament, and he speaks quickly."

Li Jiuzhou greatly hurt his self-esteem. Yang Guozhong thought resentfully, it would be just a happy day today, let's see how to deal with you in the future.

So after drinking a glass of wine, I felt something was wrong.

Li Jiuzhou looked at him without saying a word, his face was still pretty, but there was a little calmer and less heroic spirit between his eyebrows.

The atmosphere on rainy days always makes people feel dull. After the two were silent for a long time, Li Jiuzhou smiled and looked at Yang Guozhong with a curious look.

Yang Guozhong's face became more majestic and said, "I wonder what else is there for Li Qing to come today?"

"I heard that Yang Xiang and An Lushan were not in harmony." Li Jiuzhou said lightly.

"If there is nothing, don't listen to others' nonsense." Yang Guozhong simply denied it.

"I thought An Lushan was even more disagreeable with Yang Xiang, and wanted to come and discuss how to deal with him." Li Jiuzhou said with a smile, "It seems that I am too worried. Since An Lushan and Yang have a good relationship, I will not be inconvenient to cause trouble for An Lushan."

If someone else said this, Yang Guozhong might not care.

But from Li Jiuzhou's words, the nature is different.

Everyone knows that in the Tang Dynasty, he, An Lushan and Li Jiuzhou have already had a three-legged stamina.

Although Li Jiuzhou's power is not as powerful as the two, with the prince as his backer, his power has increased and should not be underestimated.

As the saying goes, there is no eternal enemy. If Li Jiuzhou can help him deal with An Lushan, it would be better.

"Could it be that Li Qing and An Lushan have any holiday?" Yang Guozhong asked in silence.

"I have no holiday with him. Both of me live in the border areas. I feel a little sick and sympathetic. Maybe I can get together in the future." Li Jiuzhou deliberately stimulated him.

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly in his heart. Li Jiuzhou's words were half true and half false. According to the news he knew, the two of them had no contact for the time being, but everything was necessary. If they were allowed to form an alliance, it would be difficult to deal with.

"After saying so much, you came to stimulate me in the name of birthday celebrations. What do you want to get from me?" Yang Guozhong finally opened the skylight and said in a daze.

"Actually, I don't feel disgusted with Yang Xiang."

"Hmph!" Yang Guozhong scoffed at Li Jiuzhou's words.

Li Jiuzhou continued, "You know that I have a good relationship with Linglang. I used to celebrate various festivals with Yang Xiang, just to get to the top."

"Aren't you already getting what you want now?" Yang Guozhong was very dissatisfied with the fact that Li Jiuzhou had been stepping on his position, but since he had said it out, it was a frank meeting.

People must have a purpose. Some people like money, some people like beauty, and some people like power.

Now that she understood that what Li Jiuzhou had been doing was just to get to power, Yang Guozhong was not surprised.

After all, Li Jiuzhou is also a human being, and it is a good thing that he has something to do.

I'm afraid he won't get in.

"My power is not enough now, I want to deal with An Lushan." Li Jiuzhou explained his thoughts, "So, I want to let go of your past grudges and work together to deal with An Lushan."

There was a precedent for two people to work together to deal with Wang Hui and Li Linfu. Yang Guozhong was not surprised by his words, but became interested instead.
