The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

"The Pei family?"

Cheng Chumo and the other two were stunned when they received the news from the person sent by Shen He.

Li Zhen scratched his head: "Are there any other powerful Pei families in Chang'an?"

Tang Heshang pondered, "Actually, there are quite a few Pei families. After all, Pei is not a minor surname. I just don't know which Pei family Zhao Baishan was referring to."

Cheng Chumo thought for a moment but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply gave up and said, "Anyway, those people just left. Didn't they say they were going to the Pei family to find some uncle? Why don't we send someone to follow them?"

Why bother guessing here?

"Besides, who cares about the Pei family or anything like that? I'm going to take down the Pei family, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"That makes sense." Li Zhen immediately agreed with the suggestion, and Tang Heshang had no objection to it either.

The three immediately dispatched two attendants to chase after Zhao Baishan in the direction he had left.

At first, the three of them didn't take the Pei family seriously at all, since in terms of background, few people in Chang'an could compare to them.

But when the two attendants rushed back in a hurry, the three of them suddenly had a bad feeling.

"How is it? Do you know which Pei family it is?" Cheng Chumo asked hurriedly.

"Young master, it seems we've gotten ourselves into trouble." One of the attendants, sweating profusely, said with a bitter face, "We followed Zhao Baishan all the way here, but he ended up being carried into the Duke of Wei's mansion."

"The Duke of Wei?" Cheng Chumo blinked, unable to recall who the Duke of Wei was for a moment.

Li Zhen panicked for a moment: "It's Pei Ji! Duke Pei Ji of Wei!"

"Holy shit!" Tang Heshang couldn't help but swear.

During this time, they listened to many myths and legends with Chen Huai'an, and even learned his catchphrases.

"Guys, it seems we've really gotten ourselves into trouble. Pei Ji is deeply favored by His Majesty."

"This fatso is actually Pei Ji's nephew?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Chumo also remembered Pei Ji, the Duke of Wei.

He also knew something else: it was because of this person that Li Shimin's most trusted confidant was killed by Li Yuan.

No matter how much Li Shimin pleaded, it was to no avail.

If Zhao Baishan is really Pei Ji's nephew, things might get really serious!

The three boys panicked instantly.

"What should we do? Should we go home and find Lao Deng?" Cheng Chumo suggested.

"No, no!" Li Zhen quickly refused. "My father isn't in Chang'an right now. If my mother finds out I've gotten involved with Pei Ji, she'll probably skin me alive."

"Besides...besides, didn't we drink the wine that the master gave us? Last time you said not to tell our families and strictly forbade your men to say anything. Once we make money, we can stand tall with our heads held high."

"If we tell them now when we get home, will we even get our hands on the money we earn in the future?"

Tang Heshang looked worried: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

The three remained silent for a while, each pondering a solution, while their attendants dared not even breathe.

After a while, Cheng Chumo suggested, "How about... we go find the teacher?"

"Great idea!" Li Zhen's eyes lit up.

After spending some time together, the three men's admiration for Chen Huai'an deepened, and they believed that he was omnipotent.

Surely the other party has a solution to this small matter.

"Let's go, let's go quickly."

"..."

"Uncle!"

"You must stand up for me! Nephew... Nephew, I'm suffering so much!"

Upon arriving at the Pei family home and seeing his uncle He Ming, Zhao Baishan immediately burst into tears, sounding utterly miserable.

Seeing his nephew beaten up like this, his face swollen like a pig's head, with countless broken teeth and almost no unscathed spots on his body, He Ming, the head steward of the Pei family, immediately darkened his expression.

"What happened? Who hit you?"

Zhao Baishan wiped away his tears: "A few days ago, didn't a wine called 'Beauty Pass' appear in Chang'an? This wine is not only incredibly delicious, but its potency is also unprecedented."

"Tell me something I don't know!" He Ming interrupted Zhao Baishan's nonsense, his face becoming even more gloomy.

With the reputation of Meiren Pass now, who in Chang'an doesn't know it?

Zhao Baishan's interest in Meiren Pass was at Zhao Baishan's behest, so how could he not know?

Judging from Zhao Baishan's current state, he must have failed to achieve his goal and instead suffered a severe beating.

"Uncle, although the shopkeeper of the Beauty Pass is a woman, she seems to have some powerful connections," Zhao Baishan said hastily, not daring to delay.

"Originally, I negotiated with the female shopkeeper in a very polite manner, hoping to buy her recipe with money. Even though her attitude was not very good, I did not get angry. I even advised her that if she did not want to sell the recipe, we could cooperate to sell wine."

"However......"

At this point, Zhao Baishan broke down in tears: "I don't know where those three little brats came from, they didn't listen to any reason, they just came up and started hitting me, they just came up and started hitting me!"

Zhao Baishan burst into tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice: "They have no sportsmanship, Uncle! When I was careless, they hit me in the mouth with a stone, and then they hit my leg with a chair."

"Uncle, I've never been so wronged in my life. I was beaten up in front of everyone by three little brats who haven't even grown their hair yet."

"I...I'm suffering!"

He Ming, feeling frustrated, said in a deep voice, "So, not only did we fail to secure the formula for the 'Beauty Pass,' but we were also rejected for cooperation?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Baishan instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, lowered his head, and dared not speak or cry.

It's simply because the other party didn't care about him first, but instead focused on buying and selling.

Zhao Baishan immediately realized that the person who was interested in this deal might not be his uncle, but the master of the Pei family!

His own uncle also followed orders.

Now that things have gone wrong, not only will he be in a difficult position to explain himself, but he might also have trouble explaining things to his own uncle.

Seeing Zhao Baishan's appearance, He Ming was furious: "Useless! You can't even handle a simple task. What good are you?"

"It's my fault. Please give me another chance. I promise I'll do a perfect job this time and get the formula for the Beauty Pass." Zhao Baishan hurriedly said.

He Ming wanted to slap him, but seeing his nephew's miserable state, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

He sighed, "Never mind, do you even know who they are?"

Zhao Baishan quickly replied, "The other side is very arrogant. One is called Sun Wukong, and the other two are called Nezha and Yang Jian respectively. I don't know anything else."

He Ming frowned as he heard the three names.

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't think of any major power in Chang'an City that had these three names.

However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was ignorant, so he immediately ordered his servants to find a doctor to treat Zhao Baishan, while he himself carefully went to the deepest part of the mansion and found Pei Ji.

After telling the other party everything, Pei Ji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, had a glint of light in his eyes: "None of the major powers and families in Chang'an City have these three people. They are probably just three bumpkins who came from somewhere. They are young and arrogant and look down on everyone because they have some family background."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes again: "The world... is about to change, I need to prepare a way out for myself."

"We absolutely must obtain the recipe for this 'Beauty Pass'!"

"Yes, sir!" He Ming replied respectfully.

"..."
