Chapter 440 Heavenly King Li Yuan and Shang Shuiying
More than twenty years later, Li Yuan, the "king of heaven" who is famous all over the world, seems very ordinary at this time, but his strength is not weak at this time, and he also has the cultivation base of the five qi towards the Yuan state, but he is a little older. It looks like it should be in its thirties.
His father, Duke Lin, was a hereditary Duke, and in his generation, he had actually fallen into decline.
Li Yuanzu has produced martial arts masters, but his father only cultivated to the realm of harmony between man and nature when he was young, but Li Yuan has already shown a good talent at a young age, but even if he is about to Even though the Duke's Mansion tried its best, it was impossible for Li Yuan to stand shoulder to shoulder with those outstanding talents on the Dragon and Tiger List.
The so-called Duke's Mansion sounds like a big name, but in fact, after it has been in decline for so long, its background is not even as good as a small faction, so Lin Guogong let Li Yuan join Prince Lu Longji's command , ready to use Conglong's merits to make their Linguo Mansion brilliant again.
Mo Tianlin didn't know that Chu Xiu had thought so much at this moment, he just sneered and said, "The Luo family is really hungry, what do they mean by inviting people from the court? The Luo family is preparing Going to the imperial court or something? Don't they know that this is a big taboo?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently: "The boundaries between Jianghu and Chaotang are not so clear, as long as there are interests and benefits, why can't they be united?
Don't forget that it was through joining forces with Beiyan Jianghu that Beiyan repelled Dongqi.
Moreover, now the Eastern Qi court also knows the benefits that can be brought by joining forces with the Jianghu people. Baihutang, one of the four spirits, has joined forces with the Eastern Qi court at this time, don't you know? "
Mo Tianlin nodded, of course he knew this, but as a Jiang Hu person, he still had some rejection towards the court.
The Luo family just competed to recruit relatives, and with the current strength of the Luo family, Prince Lu Longji naturally didn't have to come in person.
But he sent his confidants and personal eunuchs, which is considered enough importance.
At this moment, Luo Tianyang personally introduced Li Yuan and Chen Dou to the table, Li Yuan smiled and said: "Patriarch Luo's daughter is well-known, this time the martial arts competition has attracted many young talents, and my age does not seem to be considered Big, I wonder if I can also participate?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianyang had a look of embarrassment on his face.
If Lu Longji said this, Luo Tianyang would definitely be willing.
Regardless of his temples and rivers and lakes, the Luo family must have dreamed of being a princess.
But the problem is that Li Yuan said these words now. He is just a confidant of the prince. Among so many princes in the Eastern Qi Dynasty, he can only be ranked in the middle class.
Looking at Luo Tianyang's appearance, Li Yuan knew what Luo Tianyang was thinking, which made Li Yuan sneer in his heart, and said lightly: "Patriarch Luo, don't mind, I was just joking."
Luo Tianyang also laughed when he heard the words, exchanged pleasantries with them and left.
In fact, it can be seen from this point that Luo Tianyang's patriarch is indeed not very good, no matter in terms of strength or ability.
Just now when Li Yuan said that, don't care if he is really joking or fake joking, as long as Luo Tianyang pretends to be flattering and fools around, it will be completely over.
In the end, Luo Tianyang acted as if he didn't like Li Yuan, but he couldn't say much because of the identity of the other party, which completely offended Li Yuan.
After Luo Tianyang left, Li Yuan's complexion was already a little gloomy.
Beside him, Chen Dou smiled, and said in a sharp voice, "Why, do you feel uncomfortable because you feel looked down upon by others?"
Li Yuan sneered and said, "No wonder the Luo family has fallen into such a state of decline. With such an idiot Patriarch, how can the Luo family survive?"
Chen Dou waved his hand and said: "Young man, don't be so angry, a strong man once said, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty.
You are now following His Highness the Crown Prince, that has a bright future, don't think that Luo Tianyang doesn't like your status now, but maybe he will salute you in the future.
After the crown prince ascends to the Great Treasure, he will directly install you into the military. At the very end, he will start with a general or general manager. By then, it will be just a Luo family, not to mention Luo Tianyang, I am afraid it will be the ancestor of the Luo family. , you don't even have to pay attention to it. "
Li Yuan bowed his hands to Chen Dougong and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Chen, for your guidance. Please rest assured, Eunuch Chen. Since I have joined His Royal Highness, I must go through fire and water for His Royal Highness. Only His Royal Highness will come to the Great Treasure in the future to have me." The first day of the generation."
Hearing what Li Yuan said, Chen Dou also nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yuan is one of the young confidantes recruited by His Royal Highness, who has more potential.
Although his current strength is not as good as those young heroes who are on the top of the dragon and tiger list, Li Yuan is bold and careful in doing things, and handles things safely, so he is quite loved by His Royal Highness.
At this moment, Chen Dou inadvertently looked at Chu Xiu, but let out a light sigh.
Li Yuan asked in surprise, "Eunuch Chen, what's the matter?"
Chen Dou sneered and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I met a guy that His Highness often talks about, and that guy made His Highness miserable."
Li Yuan wondered: "Who is it that dares to go against His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chen Dou pointed at Chu Xiu and said, "That guy, number six on the dragon and tiger list, is Chu Xiu from the Guanzhong Criminal Hall.
Originally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cooperated well with Anle King Jiang Wenyuan, but it was this guy who passed the news to the Second Prince, and then the Second Prince passed the matter to His Majesty. After being scolded, His Highness's power was greatly reduced. "
Li Yuan asked suspiciously: "This fellow has gone too far, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't make any gestures?"
Chen Dou snorted coldly: "What happened in Prince Anle's Mansion last time greatly reduced His Highness the Prince's score with His Majesty, so of course he dare not make any further moves.
And this Chuxiu was born in the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, which is a bit tricky.
As you know, the Guanzhong Criminal Hall is not considered my Dongqi power, but in some places it has cooperated a lot with my Eastern Qi, and this Chuxiu is still a high-ranking member of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall.
If His Highness attacked him in Dongqi and let His Majesty know, it would be another heavy punishment.
Small indifference can lead to big plans, such little people have the opportunity to teach them a lesson at any time, don't be in a hurry, and with His Highness's mind, maybe they will forget about it after a while. "
Li Yuan looked at Chu Xiu, squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Chen, if there is a chance, I will give this tone for His Highness."
At this moment, Chu Xiu also felt that someone was watching him. He turned his head and met Li Yuan's gaze, feeling the meaning in that gaze. Li Yuanli was actually able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Xiu, without flinching at all.
Sensing the malice in Li Yuan's eyes, Chu Xiu guessed the reason.
After all, he was on the side of the second prince during the Qiu Zhensheng incident at the Pegasus Ranch last time, and he did not take the prince lightly.
It would be strange if Prince Lu Longji's people still have a good face towards him now.
However, this Li Yuan does have the potential to become a big shot in the future, at least he dares to fight against Chu Xiu in terms of momentum now, and he doesn't even lose the wind in the slightest.
In fact, although Li Yuan is the prince's person, he is not as good as Chu Xiu in terms of strength and status.
Only in his thirties did he step into the Five Qi Chaoyuan Realm. This strength can be regarded as the best among warriors of the same level, but looking around, almost no one in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings has reached this level.
In terms of reputation in the Jianghu, Chu Xiu is also bigger than him. At this time, Chu Xiu is the execution officer of the Guanzhong Criminal Hall, and Li Yuan is just a low-level official in the Eastern Qi court. If there is no prince With the status of Lu Longji's confidant, he is not worth mentioning.
Under the premise that he is inferior to Chu Xiu in every aspect, it is rare for him to keep his aura not inferior to Chu Xiu.
After the two sides looked at each other, they both withdrew their gazes, but at this moment, the Luo family patriarch and Luo Tianyang both went out to greet them together. The one who can have this kind of ostentation is naturally the head of the nine aristocratic families. Shang Shuiying's people.
Everyone looked at the gate, Luo Tianyang and the ancestor of the Luo family led the way, and three people walked in from the outside, but all the people present subconsciously looked at the person in the middle.
The person in the center is a young man with a tough and handsome appearance. The proportions of his facial features seem to be carved out of jade. Nothing has changed, not even a slight fluctuation.
He was wearing a black robe with white cloud patterns embroidered on it. As he walked, those white cloud patterns had some correlation reactions with the surrounding power of heaven and earth, fluctuating like water patterns, and it was extremely miraculous. Clothes are not ordinary things.
This person is the famous 'Master Wu Shuang' Ying Bailu, who knows everything about astrology, strategy of war, and secret martial arts.
There are many Jianghu people who are proficient in these things, and there are also many people who can surpass Bailu in a certain way, but no one can master so many things at the same time. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no match in the world.
And behind Ying Bailu is a young man who looks slightly younger than Ying Bailu. Although he is handsome, he is not as good as Ying Bailu, and his face has always been covered with a layer of gloom. Compared with Ying Bailu, who always had a smile on his face, it formed a stark contrast.
Behind the two of them was an old man who deliberately stepped back from them. With his subconsciously hunched figure, anyone could tell that this old man should be a servant.
But the problem is that this old man who looks like a servant has an incomparably powerful and frightening aura, even compared to Luo Jiunian. This man is indeed a martial arts master!
