Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

When Yang Zhao did not return to the Sui Dynasty, Gao Shilian intended to facilitate the marriage between Zhangsun Wugou and Li Shimin.

As a smart and thoughtful sister-con, Changsun Wuji had conducted a very in-depth investigation and understanding of all the members of the Li family early on.

Therefore, when Yang Zhao proposed to make things difficult for the third son of the Li family, Changsun Wuji was able to casually come up with a plan to alienate the third son of the Li family and lay mines for the future of the Li family.

In fact, Changsun Wuji’s understanding of the Li family is not exaggerated.

After Changsun Wuji took on the task of alienating the three sons of the Li family, he only spent a little money to get the details of Li Xiuning's marriage from Li Yuanji.

Although Li Yuanji was very smart, he was not someone who could keep secrets.

Bribing some of the Li family's collateral descendants, and then bribing some of the Li family's servants, with some fancy tricks from the Demon Sect, a banquet, and a few dancers from the Yinkui Sect.

Even Li Yuanji's words were mostly slandering Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji also quickly reviewed the situation in the Li family's secret room. He knew everything about Li Shimin's scheming and scheming, Li Yuanji's cleverness and temper, Li Jiancheng's kindness and goodness, Li Xiuning's sadness and helplessness, etc.

At the same time, Changsun Wuji became more and more wary of Li Shimin.

In the past, Changsun Wuji knew that Li Shimin was an extraordinary person. His bravery, strategy, scheming, talent and cultivation all made him a first-class genius.

But after learning about the marriage plan in the Li family's secret room, Changsun Wuji was really shocked by Li Shimin's ruthlessness and cruelty.

During Changsun Wuji’s review.

Inside the secret room of the Li family, Madam Dou, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were almost like puppets, being manipulated by Li Shimin.

Moreover, according to Li Shimin's arrangements, Li Xiuning was a victim used to disrupt the situation, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were undoubtedly targets pushed out to attract the attention of Yang Zhao's side.

Even his biological mother, Madam Dou, might have been the second target left by Li Shimin.

Only Li Shimin hid behind everything, and his attention was reduced to the extreme.

There is no doubt that only in this way will Li Shimin have the greatest chance of escaping from the city of Chang'an.

If it weren’t for the involvement of the Zhaojun Li family.

Perhaps, Li Shimin's plan really has a chance of success and he can escape from Chang'an City and ascend to heaven.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

Because Li Shimin had no idea how cautious Yang Zhao and others were in guarding against the Li family and Li Shimin.

But it doesn’t matter.

After the Zhaojun Li family's interference, everyone in the Li family seems to be walking on thin ice, but in fact, they have already completely escaped from danger.

It’s just that the people of the Li family don’t know about it yet.

After Changsun Wuji reviewed most of Li Shimin's plans, he quickly mobilized the forces under Yang Zhao and improved Li Shimin's "plan" without making a fuss.

Li Shimin was a master of scheming and his methods were extremely vicious.

But the more meticulous and vicious the plan was, the happier Changsun Wuji was.

Because this would undoubtedly save Zhangsun Wuji a lot of trouble, and he only needed to quietly reveal Li Shimin's plan to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji for them to see with their own eyes, and a huge gap and crack would appear between the three sons of the Li family.

At one point, Changsun Wuji even felt that he and Li Shimin were a natural match.

This coincidence in planning is so perfect.

until today.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, two of the three sons of the Li family, were indeed acting according to the plans of Zhangsun Wuji and Li Shimin.

Li Jiancheng was kind and benevolent, and he wanted to improve his prestige among the aristocratic families and suppress Li Shimin with his upright character.

Li Yuanji was a very smart man. Taking advantage of the excitement of the marriage between the two families, under the covert guidance of Li Shimin, he bribed the children of the aristocratic families and began his escape plan.

Only Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji have not yet guessed the other party's real plan to escape from Guanzhong.

But this is not important.

Changsun Wuji had no intention of keeping Li Shimin. The process was not important, as long as Li Shimin escaped while Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were captured.

Then the whole plan of alienation would be successful.

The plan was Li Shimin's plan, and the action was the action of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji.

Even if the truth about the Zhaojun Li family's transaction was known to Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in the future, they would never forgive Li Shimin's vicious intentions.

What Changsun Wuji is doing now is just taking advantage of the situation to deepen Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's hatred towards Li Shimin.

For example, the children of noble families bribed by Li Yuanji are very useful chess pieces.

In fact, Li Yuanji's every move has always been under the control of Changsun Wuji. Otherwise, how could these children from noble families find an obvious loophole in the blockade of the Demon Sect, Zuoyiwei, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and send Li Yuanji out of Chang'an City.

Now, everything is ready except for the east wind.

No one knows what Changsun Wuji said to those children from aristocratic families in this courtyard.

After the spies in the Zuoyiwei army reported back that Li Yuanji had successfully left Chang'an from the north gate, those young men from the noble families quickly left the courtyard.

Not long after.

In the underworld of Chang'an City.

After a young man from a noble family handed in a visiting card, he soon met Yin Shishi and reported that the marriage with the Li family was a conspiracy and Li Yuanji had already escaped from the city.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Shishi became furious and sent the Zuo Yiwei army to pursue Li Yuanji and block the city gates.

Meanwhile, the Li family courtyard.

A young man from a noble family invited Li Jiancheng to a remote corner under the pretext of asking for advice, and directly extorted the deeds of thousands of acres of fertile land from him. He then told Li Jiancheng that this marriage was a conspiracy secretly promoted by Li Shimin, who was preparing to disrupt the situation in Chang'an and plan his escape.

In addition, Li Yuanji also knew about Li Shimin's plan and had bribed many people early on. He had already escaped from Chang'an City.

The Li family's backyard.

A drunken young man from an aristocratic family mistakenly entered the courtyard where Li Xiuning was. He spoke wildly after drinking, mocking Madam Dou and Li Xiuning and her daughter for their ignorance of people and their stupidity and dullness. He also boasted that he had already helped Li Yuanji escape from Chang'an, and that a large army would soon come to Li's mansion to punish him.

There were unusual movements in Fengming Pavilion, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Daxue Dragon Cavalry Camp.

In one day.

The whole of Chang'an seemed to be in a state of chaos and turmoil.

Chapter 429: Li Jiancheng

Several young men from aristocratic families who usually acted like lackeys and frequented brothels were pushed lightly by Changsun Wuji, and the entire Chang'an city exploded immediately.

On the wide road, which was wide enough for eight horses to run sideways, all pedestrians were cleared away.

In the square market town that looks like a well-field, every road is guarded by fully armed soldiers.

Whether nobles or common people.

After the Demon Sect, Zuo Yiwei and the Great Snow Dragon Riders took joint action, no one was able to resist and they were all ordered to return home.

The city of Chang'an, which had just been lifted from lockdown a few days ago, was once again sealed off due to the rebellion of the third son of the Li family.

"Didn't they say that the Li family was going to form an alliance with Prince Zhao? What's going on here?"

"Haha, it's called an arranged marriage, but in fact it's selling a daughter for fame, no, it's selling a daughter for life. Miss Li is such a good person, she won't even have anything to be greedy for in the future."

"Brother, there's something wrong with you!"

"Ahem, let's get back to the point. I heard that Li Erlang and Li Sanlang teamed up to trick Li Dalang and let Li Dalang host the marriage to attract attention. Then, when it came to the wedding, both of them ran away."

"No, it was Li Erlang who came up with the idea. Li Sanlang guessed it and ran away in advance."

"Anyway, Li Dalang is pretty miserable. It's a sin to have two such brothers."

Li Yuanji escaped and was reported.

The entire Li family was completely blocked by the army in less than an incense stick of time. However, because there were many guests in the mansion, the Zuo Yiwei army did not enter the Li family.

In a sense, this group of guests bought the Li family some time.

The inexplicable news suddenly spread throughout the Li Mansion, creating a mess and making Li Jiancheng even more irritated and depressed.

Arrange staff in the mansion to serve the guests.

After Li Jiancheng hurriedly dealt with some things, he could no longer bear the pressure and came to the backyard with doubts in his heart.

"Mother, where are Xiuning, Erlang and Sanlang?"

Li Jiancheng stepped into the inner courtyard with a very dark face, but he still held a glimmer of hope for his second and third brothers.

Seeing Li Jiancheng's arrival, Mrs. Dou looked very sad, while Li Xiuning had no expression on her face.

When Li Jiancheng saw this, he felt a black screen before his eyes, his whole body was shaking, and he almost fell down on the spot.

Calm down.

Li Jiancheng reluctantly said, "Mother, Xiuning, is what the guest from the outer courtyard said true?"

Mrs. Dou's eyes were full of tears. She said, "Da Lang, I trusted San Lang wrongly. I have harmed you. I will stay here. Da Lang and Er Lang should quickly disguise themselves and leave through the secret passage."

Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Mother, do you mean that Erlang is still alive?"

Madam Dou was quite sad and said, "Erlang was also used by Sanlang. Sanlang borrowed the power of the noble families in the city and has now escaped. Erlang is very sad and has locked himself in his room..."

As Li Jiancheng listened to Mrs. Dou's words, his gaze quickly shifted to Li Xiuning.

It took quite a while.

Li Jiancheng said sadly, "Xiuning, I know that we have treated you badly before. You are the pearl of the Li family. You have been born with wisdom and beauty. Years ago, in order to obtain the wealth of the Chai family, your father promised you to Chai Shao, whom you disliked. Years later, my Li family was robbed, and in order to save our lives, we promised you to our enemy Yang Zhao."

"I understand that you feel sad and hateful. I feel guilty for treating you like this. However, it is fate and time. Many things cannot be changed by our subjective consciousness."

"If you really don't want to get married, then forget it. Yang Zhao is a man of great power and is very wary of our Li family. Sanlang's escape today will make Yang Zhao want to kill our Li family."

"Anyway, my father is away, and my Li family will not be extinct because of this. Xiuning and big brother can just sit here and wait for Yang Zhao's decision."

After saying this, Li Jiancheng simply took off many of his aristocratic ornaments, and with a more relaxed attitude, he had some food and drinks served, and began to eat and drink contentedly.

There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.

In fact, Li Jiancheng has always been very clear about many things, but he is a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to be cruel to his brothers and sisters.

In the past, he had to compete with Li Erlang for power and profit because he was the eldest son of the Li family.

Now that disaster has come, Li Jiancheng has let it go.

Watching Li Jiancheng talking and laughing gently with his wives and concubines, and comforting his mother many times, Li Xiuning felt as if she had gotten to know her elder brother for the first time.

In the past.

Because of his personality and talent, Li Xiuning felt that although his elder brother had some intelligence, he was cowardly, had fame but no courage, and was a person who would never achieve anything great.

Therefore, Li Xiuning has always been very close to the second son, Li Shimin.

Li Xiuning never expected that after the desperate situation of annihilation of the whole family came, Li Shimin, the second son, whom he admired very much, would stab him in the back and betray him without hesitation.

On the contrary, this seemingly cowardly and soft-hearted elder brother of his took up all the responsibilities at the last moment, stood in front of him, and was ready to die.

For a moment, Li Xiuning was a little confused about whether her previous choices were right or wrong.

"Big brother..."

"Xiuning, don't think too much. You should know that life is like chess. Don't regret your moves. Come and have a drink with me."

Li Jiancheng, who had let go of the constraints in his heart, looked a little unruly. After kneeling at the desk, he waved to Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning was speechless and sat silently opposite Li Jiancheng. She picked up the wine glass with her bare hands and drank it all in one gulp.

Li Jiancheng also raised his glass and drank the wine in it. Then he spoke: "Xiuning, I am just a person of such a soft character. Sometimes I wanted to make some changes and achieve some results in the past, but I was born in this aristocratic family and I am helpless. I have a father and grandfather above me and a wolf brother below me. I can't be ruthless. What can I do? I am just a little sorry for Xiuning. I have made you suffer."

Li Xiuning was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, do you know everything about our family in the past?"

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Why shouldn't I know? I am the eldest son of the Li family. Apart from my father, is there anyone who has more authority and knows more than you?"

Li Xiuning frowned slightly and asked, "What about today's incident?"

Li Jiancheng chuckled and said, "You don't think Sanlang can really use Big Brother as a gun, do you? Erlang is ambitious, but a little cruel."

"You don't think there is anything in Chang'an that can be hidden from that Prince Zhao in the palace, do you?"

"If Erlang and Sanlang want to make trouble, then let them make trouble."

"But from now on, Erlang and Sanlang may not trust me as their eldest brother anymore. But then again, if the Li family is peaceful and united, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Chang'an City."
