Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"No rush, let's have dinner first, and then we'll talk about business."

Li Chengqian called the shop waiter and started ordering.

"His Royal Highness, I just had dinner, so if you have anything to say, why don't you just say it, I have something else to do." Li Xiao said flatly.

He could tell that Li Chengqian was clearly trying to delay time, and he was probably plotting something behind his back.

"Made me look bad?"

Li Chengqian's face suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I invite you to dinner for the first time, and you leave as soon as you say, where will I put my face?"

"Then serve!"

Li Xiao thought for a while, but didn't say much.

Next, several dishes of delicate side dishes were brought up one by one.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the few people never spoke again.

Li Xiao drank a glass of wine and said bluntly: "Now that we have eaten, what can we talk about?"

"Don't worry, the good show will be staged soon." Li Chengqian said with a playful face.

Hearing this, Li Xiao's heart sank.

It's not a good thing.

At this time, Li Junxian walked over quickly and whispered in Li Xiao's ear.

Li Xiao nodded: "I see, Uncle Li, you go down first!"

Just now, Li Chengqian's men escorted Wang Qingxue all the way to the palace.

The point is, with great fanfare.

It seems that I can't wait to let everyone know.

"Brother Xiao, the news is quite fast..."

Li Chengqian looked at Li Junxian with a smile in his eyes.

"The good show the prince is referring to is that someone will stop Wang Qingxue, right?" Li Xiao said solemnly.

"That's not certain." Li Chengqian smiled slightly, "Your subordinate Xue Rengui, I sent someone to investigate. He has a strong temper and cannot bear the slightest humiliation. I guess he will not obey your orders."

"How do you know that I just gave a verbal order, what if I send someone to lock him up?"

Li Xiao frowned slightly, looking straight into Li Chengqian's eyes.

"Do you know?"

Li Chengqian looked like he was holding the winning ticket, and continued: "Xue Rengui has just won the first prize in martial arts, and he has made a great achievement. If you imprison him at this time, what will your other subordinates think?"

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

Li Xiao laughed lightly, clapped his hands immediately, and said, "His Royal Highness really counts everything!"

"Then this table of wine and food is to lure me away and make Xue Rengui firm in his decision. It's amazing!"

"Hahaha...smart!" Li Chengqian laughed heartily, "As expected of my bratty brother!"

After a pause, he continued: "Then you guess again, what's the result?"

Li Xiao thought for a while and said slowly: "In order not to implicate me, Xue Rengui naturally went alone, and your escort team, on the surface, looks like a small number of people, but there must be a large number of experts ambushing in the dark."

"The sky and earth nets have been set up, and we are waiting for the prey to fall into the trap."

"Am I right?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao looked at Li Chengqian expressionlessly.

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

This time it was Li Chengqian's turn to applaud.

With a look of surprise in his eyes, he said slowly: "Zhou Zhi Xiao brother is thoughtful and intelligent, in my opinion, the world still underestimates you, Li Xiao!"

"You guessed it right, the heaven and earth net is ready, just waiting for Xue Rengui to deliver it to your door."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian's mouth suddenly had a strange smile: "Brother Xiao, I don't know if the assassination of the crown prince is enough to make the father cut off your title of lord?"

"Hehe." Li Xiao suddenly laughed, "His Royal Highness, are you drinking too much? Why are you just making jokes? It's time to call it a day."

"Do you think Ben Gong is joking with you?"

Li Xiao said calmly: "That's natural, I was just cooperating with His Royal Highness and talking nonsense just now."

"What Wang Qingxue, I don't know, why did Xue Rengui go to assassinate the Crown Princess?"

"Nonsense!"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian just looked at Li Xiao quietly and didn't speak any more.

At this moment, Li Junxian trotted in all the way, hurrying and dignified.

"It seems that the good show is on the stage!"

Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian finally smiled.

Chapter 196: Open the skylight and speak honestly

Li Junxian moved closer to Li Xiao's ear and said softly, "Your Highness, Xue Rengui is gone."

Li Xiao's eyes were fixed, and his face was a little ugly.

"anything else?"

"This kid is not stupid at all. He took away a peerless sword and a set of bright silver dragon armor, plus a lot of equipment such as a crossbow and a flintlock gun." Li Junxian said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, since Li Chengqian invited him over, he had already had some guesses.

Only he couldn't be sure.

At that time, he could choose to imprison Xue Rengui.

But he didn't.

As Li Chengqian said, he has no reason to treat a meritorious person like this.

At the same time, he also knows that everyone has their own goal to pursue in life.

For Xue Rengui, perhaps Wang Qingxue's weight is greater than his loyalty to him, or even his own life.

He can keep Xue Rengui's body, but he can't keep Xue Rengui's heart, this is the last thing he wants to see.

Therefore, while he gave Xue Rengui freedom, he also deliberately asked someone to take a set of equipment and put it in a conspicuous place.

It means that I will not stop you if you want to go, but you must not die or be arrested.

He believed that with the bright silver dragon armor and a full set of weapons, with Xue Rengui's skill, it was impossible to be left behind.

This is also where he is confident.

The only variable is whether Xue Rengui can understand his arrangement.

Fortunately, this kid also knows the severity.

Li Xiao was still very pleased.

Li Chengqian stared at Li Xiao for a while, seeing Li Xiao's expression was calm, he frowned and said: "Happiness and anger are invisible, brother Xiao is better than me in this regard."

"This Patriarch Wang, why hasn't he spoken?"

Li Xiao ignored Li Chengqian, but looked at Wang Fuchou who was beside him.

"King Yue, only His Highness the Crown Prince is qualified to marry Qingxue."

Wang Fuchou said blankly: "That countryman is not worthy!"

"It seems that Patriarch Wang is also a straightforward person. I like you like this. You don't meander when you talk." Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and he praised him.

"Then Wang will just say it straight." Wang Fuchou was a little surprised that Li Xiao didn't get angry, and continued: "My Wang family supports the crown prince, I hope the king of Yue can be a little self-aware."

"You are just a bastard, even if you are lucky enough to be favored by His Majesty and be named a prince."

"But you should know that since you are no match for His Highness the Crown Prince, the future world will still belong to the Crown Prince!"

"The relationship between the Wang family and the crown prince is not allowed to be broken by anyone. I hope His Royal Highness King Yue will take good care of his subordinates, and don't try to use Qingxue as a breakthrough."

"You are the most outspoken person among the snobs I have ever met." Li Xiao smiled slightly.

This dinner is also a bit interesting.

This Li Chengqian clearly thought that he had the chance to win, so he directly opened the skylight and spoke bright words.

"That's right." Li Chengqian suddenly smiled. "After today, I am afraid that there will be no such thing as King Yue."

"Brother Xiao, do you want to rush over now, maybe there is still time to stop it."

"Drinking and drinking, you care so much, are you tired?"

Li Xiao picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face.

This calm demeanor stunned both Li Chengqian and Wang Fuchou.

……

At this time, on Xuanwu Street.

A group of 20 imperial guards escorted a sedan chair.

The sedan chair rushed up, Wang Qingxue was still dressed in men's clothing.

At this time, her face was ashen, looking at the sky outside the window, her eyes were empty and lifeless.

She never thought that her father would marry her to the prince.

She also understands that if this can be done, the entire Wang family will benefit.

Even though she resisted in every way in her heart, she still sat in this sedan chair for the sake of her family.

After all, the only person she cared about also left her.

I don't know how long ago.

Although the team moved slowly, they came to the end of Xuanwu Street.

Not far ahead is the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace.

Wang Qingxue sighed faintly.

The figure in my mind did not appear after all.

"From now on, you and I will be separated..."

"fair enough……"

But at this moment, only a "bang" was heard.

A masked man in bright silver armor descended from the sky and stopped in front of the team.

"who?!"

"Be careful! There are assassins!"

All the guards of the forbidden army were on alert.

Wang Qingxue's heart skipped a beat in the sedan chair, and she immediately pulled aside the curtains and looked out.

At this time, Xue Rengui, who was fully armed, also looked up at the only sedan chair in the team.

In an instant, the four eyes met.

"you……"

Wang Qingxue instantly recognized these extremely familiar eyes, and the eye sockets began to moisten.

"Why are you so stupid..."

"Since you left me back then, what is this now?"

"It's late, everything is late..."

Wang Qingxue, who was in the sedan chair, murmured, her voice trembling.
