Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 504 You are pimping for your sister
Originally, the two of them stole the things in order to hand over the account books of the Li and Song families to Li Xiuning and Song Yuzhi, and to use the account books of the Yuwen and Dugu families to make trouble.

In order to prevent their things from being snatched away by Shen Luoyan, they buried the account books in the woods. However, when they went back the next day, they found that the things were gone. They returned to the inn room, but found the account books of the Yuwen family on the bed. The two of them used the Changsheng Jue to sense for a long time but got no results. Finally, they had to accept the reality and return home.

"Chai Shao, where did you get this account book?"

Kou Zhong asked loudly while pushing Xu Ziling's hand: "Don't hold me, let go."

Xu Ziling was not willing to let go.

Yu Wenzhi appeared in Jinyang. The two sides were already enemies and were extremely jealous of each other. The engagement banquet was disrupted by Chai Shao, and Yang Guang also gave them a marriage. Given Kou Zhong's character, if he was not dissuaded, he would definitely attack Yu Wenzhi. With their current skills, not only would they fail to take revenge, but they might even implicate the Li family.

Chu Pingsheng said: "I took a nap at noon a few days ago, and when I woke up, I saw it on the table. You asked how it came from. I also want to know who is behind it."

Li Shimin was suspicious, Li Yuan was suspicious, Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and others were also suspicious, but Shuanglong believed it to be true because their experiences were exactly the same as Chai Shao's.

As for whether the mysterious man who stole the account book was Chai Shao, this thought had never occurred to him. With Chai Shao's mediocre kung fu, Li Xiuning could beat him to a pulp, so how could he go to Yangzhou to cause trouble? Moreover, Li Shimin said yesterday that Chai Shao took his anger out on his servants because he failed to practice the longevity secret. The servant Jin An was slapped in the face and his face was swollen because he said something unpleasant.

"Okay, when I return to Jiangdu, I will hand over the account books to the emperor for judgment."

Yu Wenzhi hesitated for a moment and took the account book from Chai Shao.

He didn't want to provoke Song Que, and he hated Chai Shao for dragging him into trouble. However, in front of everyone and Li Yuan, if he didn't accept the offer, he would appear cowardly and would weaken his reputation.

Song Yuzhi was almost crying because of Chu Ping's anger. The finger she pointed at him was trembling, and her teeth were grinding. "This has nothing to do with my father. I came to Jinyang to play with Sister Xiuning."

"You should tell the emperor this."

Chu Pingsheng said: "You can try and see if he will believe what you say."

Gao Junya and others mourned in their hearts for Song Que, who had such a disappointing daughter.

Anyone with a little knowledge knows that the Yuwen family, the Gudu family, the Taiyuan Li family, and the Lingnan Song family have been recruiting soldiers and horses in recent years, and most of them intend to take advantage of the chaos to start a rebellion. The key is that there is no direct evidence, and it is difficult for the court to investigate. Now that Chai Shao has produced the account books of the Song family's private purchase of weapons and equipment, it is conceivable how passive the situation the Song family will face next.

Li Xiuning couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked out from the back, stared into his eyes with disappointment and said, "Chai Shao, you've gone too far."

"Are you referring to the matter of seeking the Emperor's grant of marriage, or the matter of me handing over the evidence of Song Que's intention to rebel? If it's the latter, privately, you should know how harsh Miss Song's scolding is. Publicly, as Zuo Qianniu's assistant, a sixth-rank official of the court, it is my duty to eliminate treacherous people and support the country. If Miss Li thinks it's excessive, isn't it putting the Song family above the imperial power?"

Chu Pingsheng sneered, "Based on your performance, you still say that the Taiyuan Li family has not joined forces with the Song family to plot evil? That's right, one of you is in the south and the other is in the north. After the matter is accomplished, you can just divide the river and rule separately."

Li Yuan's face changed drastically.

Li Jiancheng quickly took two steps forward, pulled Li Xiuning back to his side, and whispered, "Sister, do you want to kill us?"

Li Yuanji winked at the guards standing in the corridor and said, "Send Miss Yuzhi back to her room to rest first, and send someone to escort Miss Yuzhi out of the city early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he stepped forward with a low profile and said with a charming smile: "General Yuwen, my father and Song Que are not on good terms with each other, and everyone knows that Miss Song came to Jinyang purely for fun this time. Please understand."

"Is it……"

Yu Wenzhi replied noncommittally: "How do I know if you are pretending to be at odds? Li Yuan, go to Jiangdu and explain this to the emperor yourself."

"This……"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin hatefully. He had long told his son and daughter to keep their distance from Miss Song, but the two pretended not to hear. Now, Song Yuzhi had offended Chai Shao and brought disaster to the Song family, and their Li family would also be in trouble.

Chu Pingsheng was also looking at the second son of the Li family, whose face was ashen. He took out the golden armor and presented it to Yu Wenzhi.

"General Yuwen, please take a look. This is the secret of longevity. I am handing it over to you now, and I have fulfilled my father's request."

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Li Shimin and others were all shocked.

No one expected that he would hand over the secret of immortality like this.

What if Yang Guang issued an imperial edict to Chai Shen? Chai Shaoyuan was in Jinyang. He only needed to lie and say that the secret of immortality was stolen by a martial arts master. Could Yang Guang still punish the Chai family?

As a result, he gave in after being threatened?

Li Shimin looked at the imperial edict in his father's hand, and a light bulb went off in his mind, and he understood.

In all likelihood, Chai Shao made a deal with Yang Guang: if the emperor granted the marriage, he would hand over the secret of longevity.

Li Xiuning also understood and looked at the man opposite with shock.

This guy took advantage of her misfortune and wanted to use 300,000 taels of silver to seize her body. Seeing that he could not achieve his goal, he set his sights on the secret of immortality. After getting the secret, he practiced it for a while and found that he was not cut out for it. Coincidentally, Yang Guang learned about this and issued an order to Chai Shen, asking the Chai family to present the secret of immortality to him.

He took the opportunity to state his request and obtained the emperor's arranged marriage. After many twists and turns, he still wanted to take her in, but before he used silver as a threat, now he slept with her according to the emperor's order.

This bastard is really good at doing business.

"Yes, it is indeed the secret of longevity." Yu Wenzhi put away the golden armor and smiled playfully: "Now that the emperor has done everything he asked me to do, since today is the engagement party for Miss Li, won't you treat me to a drink, General Li?"

"This……"

Li Yuan looked embarrassed. Today's engagement banquet was prepared for Li Xiuning and Kou Zhong, but Chai Shao succeeded in snatching the marriage. Both he and Li Xiuning were unwilling. How could he be happy that Yu Wenzhi wanted to drink their engagement wine? "Oh, I feel dizzy."

Li Shimin immediately understood: "Father must have drunk too much just now, Xiuning, hurry up and help father go back to his room to rest."

Li Xiuning took light steps forward, held Li Yuan's hand, told him to be careful all the way, and went to the back.

Li Shimin said apologetically, "General Yuwen has seen that father is not very good at drinking. When father sobers up tomorrow, Shimin will arrange another banquet with father to show his hospitality."

"Heh..." Yu Wenzhi saw that Li Yuan had escaped by drinking, so he naturally didn't want to embarrass a junior like Li Shimin, so he laughed sarcastically: "No need, I will leave Jinyang early tomorrow morning."

"So urgent?"

"Military duties are in the forefront, so personal matters should be kept simple."

"In this case, Shimin wishes General Yuwen a safe journey."

Yu Wenzhi nodded and was about to leave, but Kou Zhong took advantage of Xu Ziling's unpreparedness, shook off his arm, jumped up, and slapped his enemy in the chest.

"go to hell."

"Humph!"

A cold air spread out, and Yu Wenzhi raised his palm and pushed.

puff.

With a muffled sound, Kou Zhong was knocked back by the icy force. The five fingers of his right hand were covered with a layer of white mist. He shivered in the hot summer day. Fortunately, the Longevity Art was extremely magical. His true energy circulated in the Sanjiao meridian twice, and the coldness was relieved a lot.

"If it weren't for Jun's sake, I would have killed you two long ago."

Yu Wenzhi said "Let's go" and left quickly with his two followers.

Chu Pingsheng also called several servants to return home.

"Do you think I will sit idly by and watch Xiuning marry you?" Li Shimin's eyes were vicious and his expression was cold. He no longer had the righteousness and composure of the past. He was like a dog that bore a grudge and bared its teeth.

Chu Pingsheng didn't care about his hostility and smiled gently: "Then your Li family should rebel before the New Year."

The imperial edict not only specified the marriage partner, but also stipulated the wedding date - before this year's Spring Festival.

Li Jiancheng brought Li Yuanji to the two of them. Although the Li family had made a big fool of themselves tonight, they did not hate Master Chai as much as Li Shimin did.

"Chai Shao, our two families have always been on good terms. Now it has come to this, and we are just being laughed at by outsiders. Why bother?" Li Jiancheng said in a gentle tone.

"Then you have to ask your good second brother what he did first?"

"What did he do?"

"I don't know how many people are staring at the secret of immortality in my hand. Li Shimin, you did this, didn't you?" Chu Pingsheng said, "Instead of becoming the target of public criticism, it's better to use it to make a deal with the emperor. Brother Jiancheng, what do you think of my business strategy?"

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked at each other in silence.

If the information was really leaked by Li Shimin, then there was only one purpose, which was to create a sense of crisis for Chai Shao and make him stay at home honestly and not run around.

In this way, the Secret of Immortality was right under the eyes of the Li family, and Shuanglong could take it anytime he wanted. Who would have thought that Chai Shao was so useless that he gave up practicing it after less than a month, and sold the Secret of Immortality to Yang Guang, and asked Yu Wenhuaji, who was at odds with the Li family, to be the person in charge. He then made a big mistake for the second son of the Li family, who was known for his intelligence, and buried his sister.

"You do the first day, so don't blame me for the fifteenth. In the end, didn't I buy your sister Li Xiuning for three hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Chu Pingsheng laughed and walked outside.

He did not mention that he had already mastered the sixth and seventh pictures of the Longevity Art. If Li Jiancheng and his brothers knew about this, they would have to kowtow to him.

Killing two birds with one stone, a complete profiteer.

Otherwise, the Chai family could become the richest family, this is the family tradition.

In fact, "one fish, two ways of cooking" is not accurate. It should be "one fish, three ways of cooking", but the other way of cooking is just the beginning.

Li Shimin stood there expressionless, watching Chu Pingsheng's back disappear. He seemed calm, but his clenched fists, slightly raised head, and tightly pursed thick lips all showed that there was anger hidden beneath the calm.

Li Jiancheng said nothing, but winked at Li Yuanji, and the two brothers left side by side. The latter swung his sleeves so wide that he blew out the candles in the hall. A maid holding a silver plate stepped forward and knelt down to light it.

It is true that the Li family made a big fool of themselves today, but from another perspective, it is not without benefits. Didn't their father Li Yuan always hesitate to start a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty? Chai Shao's actions were equivalent to pushing the Li family from behind.

Naturally, Li Shimin could also think of what they could think of.

It's time to speed up the deployment. Once the Li family kicks the court out and officially launches an army, the Chai family will be able to tremble in fear with their current strength.
