Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"Where is Master Lu now?"

Li Chengqian asked the military inspector.

"Returning to Your Highness, Master Lu is in the forge, and my subordinates will inform you..."

"No need, I'll go find him myself!"

Li Chengqian led people in directly.

After a while.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In a lobby, a young man with white hair and a red face saluted Li Chengqian.

"There is no need to salute." Li Chengqian said solemnly, "Master Lu, I came here to ask you for help."

"Other than casting weapons, this old man has no other skills..." Lu Tiexin said doubtfully.

"Today, a magic weapon appeared in the martial arts conference, have you ever heard of it?"

"The old man has indeed heard about it, but unfortunately he has no chance to see it..."

"I want you to attend the Wenxi Banquet tomorrow to prove that this sword is your lost property!"

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a chill.

Chapter 200: Intimidation

"Your Highness, is this old man trying to frame this junior?"

Lu Tiexin frowned, embarrassed.

"No, it's not about framing, it's about finding lost things."

Li Chengqian said slowly: "You don't have to worry, I have already sent someone to check, and there is no record about that sword in all the classics."

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian's eyes sparkled, and he continued: "I ask, who else in this world can build such a magical weapon except you?"

"Although this matter is false, it is more real than the real thing. No one will doubt it!"

"Even if they doubt it, if they can't produce evidence, who would dare to question me, the chief blacksmith of Datang?"

"What's more, with Bengong here, there will be no accidents."

Li Chengqian looked at Lu Tiexin with burning eyes.

"But Your Highness, I know a thing or two about the power of that sword. Even if I spend my whole life trying my best to create such a magical weapon..." Lu Tiexin said worriedly.

"This palace says you can, so you can." Li Chengqian said expressionlessly: "There is no need to say too much."

"Your Highness..."

Lu Tiexin wanted to try to say something, but Li Chengqian interrupted.

"Lu Tiexin, think it over clearly, if you agree to help, the sword will be yours."

"If you don't agree, it will be difficult for you and your disciples to move forward in Datang."

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously impatient.

Hearing this, Lu Tiexin's heart tightened.

He himself doesn't care, he is a dying person.

But his disciples were innocent.

In desperation, he could only nod his head and agree: "Old minister obeys!"

Lu Tiexin sighed, and then asked: "I don't know what the old minister should do?"

"so……"

Li Chengqian thought about it, and then talked about his plan in detail.

……

The next day.

"Your Highness, there is still an hour before the Wenxi Banquet begins, shall we leave for Ziyun Tower now?"

Li Junxian looked at the thoughtful Li Xiao.

At this time, Li Xiao frowned.

He suddenly asked: "By the way, is there any movement at Changsun Wuji's side?"

"It's not easy to check. Changsun Wuji has a lot of experts, and our people can't monitor everyone, but from the surface, Changsun Wuji is not unusual." Li Junxian said slowly.

"That's strange." Li Xiao was puzzled.

"Is there something you can't figure out, Your Highness?" Li Junxian asked.

"Everything Changsun Wuji does is wrong."

Li Xiao said thoughtfully: "On the surface, Changsun Wuji is a member of the prince's lineage, but the prince has spent so much time on Wu Kui, why didn't Changsun Wuji, who is the minister of the official department, do anything to help him?" ? On the contrary, Xue Rengui easily got Wu Kui, this is the biggest problem."

The entire martial arts conference was organized by the Ministry of Officials.

Even though Changsun Wuji is not in the capital, the officials must be from Changsun Wuji!

These people did not fall for the prince as he imagined.

In future games, there will still be people who bribe the referee to blow the whistle!

Why Xue Rengui was not blocked in the slightest when he obtained Wu Kui?

"Perhaps the officials of the Ministry of Officials don't dare to make small moves in front of the eyes of the people of the world. Your Highness should worry too much!" Li Junxian said thoughtfully.

"It's not just that." Li Xiao continued, "Does Uncle Li still remember? Before Changsun Wuji left, he had already seen my weapons and equipment, but Li Chengqian didn't seem to know about such important news. Why didn't Ji inform Li Chengqian?"

"This...maybe the prince received the news, but he didn't take it to heart." Li Junxian replied.

"Maybe, but I always feel that there is something hidden in it."

Li Xiao shook his head, and then shouted: "Stop talking about this, call Xue Rengui, and set off for Ziyun Tower."

"Yes!"

……

Ziyun Tower.

At this time, there are already people coming and going here, the scene is huge, and the gathering of heroes is unprecedented.

Wenxi Banquet, also known as Huiwu Banquet, is a grand celebration banquet held by the imperial court for outstanding performers in martial arts.

It is usually held in the Ministry of War or Ziyun Building.

In addition to the martial arts candidates, many high-ranking officials and nobles were invited to participate, just to see the demeanor of Wu Kui.

After submitting the invitation, Li Xiao and Xue Rengui were taken to the lobby on the third floor by the guards at the door.

Although the banquet has not yet started, many people have already been seated in the lobby.

Li Xiao alone knew quite a few people.

Li Daozong, Qin Qiong, Fang Xuanling and other senior figures.

The lobby is very large, with a total of four steps, divided into four levels.

On the top table, there is a big seat, and the person sitting on it is also known to Li Xiao, Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

It was only then that Li Xiao found out that the banquet was actually organized by the Ministry of War.

Below Du Ruhui, Li Xiao saw Li Chengqian, Li Tai and other princes.

Further down, there are ministers and generals of Qin Qiong's level.

The bottom floor has the most people, and Li Xiao basically doesn't know them.

But there was one person who made him pay attention——Wang Fuchou!

The Patriarch of the Jinyang Royal Family is actually there.

In the middle of the lobby, there are ten seats. Li Xiao guessed that they are for the top ten in the martial arts exam.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

"Wu Kui Xue Rengui is here!"

Li Xiao nodded and smiled at the people he knew as a greeting.

But Li Chengqian remained motionless with no expression on his face.

At this time, another person entered the door.

"No. [-] Wang Jie is here!"

Dressed in men's attire, Wang Qingxue slowly took her seat.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed a gloomy coldness.

Not long after, Li Xiao was surprised to see Chang Sun Chong also coming.

At this time, the lobby was almost full. Du Ruhui, who was sitting above, asked about the time, and was about to speak when something happened suddenly.

"His Majesty is here!"

With a loud shout, under the confused and surprised eyes of everyone, Li Er walked slowly from the back door.

This sudden scene was beyond everyone's expectation.

They quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Get up!" Li Er said expressionlessly.

Then he sat directly on the main seat.

"I didn't know your majesty was coming, but I was far away from welcoming you, so I beg your majesty to forgive me!" Du Ruhui bowed and saluted, with a somewhat perplexed look on his face.

"I'm so happy, come and have a look, you are busy with your work." Li Er waved his hand casually.

After thanking each other, everyone returned to their seats.

Soon after, the banquet began.

Li Er observed the ten newcomers in Wuju, nodded, and said, "Which one is the leader?"

"Xue Rengui pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Xue Rengui got up and bowed to Li Er.

"Okay!" Li Er nodded and said, "Give me wine!"

Xue Rengui took the wine handed over by the eunuch and drank it all in one gulp: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You are all young talents of my Great Tang. If you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have a place in the court in the future."

Li Er had a favorable expression on his face.

At this time, Li Chengqian suddenly rolled his eyes, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Father, this year's military leader is indeed a rare talent. My Tang Dynasty can recruit such a talent, and it is thanks to the recommendation of King Yue. My son thinks, It is meritorious for the King of Yue to recommend talents, and he may be rewarded."

Hearing this, Li Erda gave Li Chengqian a deep meaning, then turned his head to look at Li Xiao, and said: "The prince's words are justified, Xiaoer, what reward do you want?"

Chapter 201: A Good Singing Double Reed

"Father, it is only natural for my son to find talents for the Great Tang, and I dare not take credit for it." Li Xiao stood up and clasped his fists.

At the same time, he was very confused.

What the hell is Li Chengqian planning to do?

"King Yue, don't be humble!" Li Chengqian said in amazement.

"How about Xue Rengui's amazing sword at the martial arts competition, which made many generals feel ashamed."

"At such a young age, he has such attainments in the way of swordsmanship. The level of genius is rare in a hundred years. The king of Yue was able to find this talent, which is not a small contribution."

Hearing this, all the generals nodded.

"Your Majesty, as His Royal Highness said, Xue Rengui is very gifted in swordsmanship. If he is given some time, he will surely soar into the sky and become a pillar of our Tang Dynasty." Qin Qiong also stood up and said.
