Chapter 172: Still Xu Weixiong? Xu Fengnian scolds his father! (33)

"Your Majesty, all we want is the appearance of the King of Tang."

"Give him a palace, a little more salary, and some personal soldiers."

"I have asked Zhao Gou to investigate. This Hong Changan is not favored at all."

Zhao Gou of Liyang, Fushui Society of Beiliang and Spider Web of Beimang are their respective spy offices.

"The Emperor of the Hong Family asked him to marry the Princess of Xichu, so that he could be used as a scapegoat at any time."

"This Hong Chang'an is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He loves playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and listening to music in brothels. He is a dandy."

Yuan Benxi was well aware of Zhao Li's imperial thoughts, that he wanted to be a whore and yet still be a virtuous woman.

He would not feel at ease unless he killed the emperor of the Hong family.

But he didn't want to go back on his word, and he wanted to keep the King of Tang to show off and win people's hearts.

Show the whole world that the people of the world are loyal to our Great Liyang, and the Emperor of Liyang’s words are law.

Yuan Benxi suggested that Li Changan inherit the title because the Emperor of the Hong family wanted to kill Li Changan in public, and there would definitely be hatred between them.

After listening to this, Zhao Li nodded with satisfaction. When it comes to having a lot of bad intentions, Yuan Benxi is the one who has the most.

The King of Tang, who was only there for show, was placed near Beiliang, so there was no possibility for him to restore his country.

You know, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang is a ruthless man who destroyed six kingdoms!
However, the viciousness of Yuan Benxi's methods once again shocked Zhao Li.

"Your Majesty, you should stop pretending. In seven or eight years, the world will be at peace."

"Your Majesty can grant the marriage of the Princess of the Northern Liang King to Li Changan, but Li Changan is not allowed to marry the Princess..."

Zhao Li's mind brightened up. This move even arranged the whereabouts of King Tang.

"Benxi, you mean to let the King of Tang marry the Princess of Beiliang and let her become the son-in-law of the Xu family, and then the King of Tang will exist in name only."

Yuan Benxi nodded and said, "In this case, we don't even need to reduce the number of vassal states."

"If Xu Xiao is not happy about it, he will arrange for someone to assassinate Hong Changan to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the court."

After listening to everything Yuan Benxi said, Zhao Li was satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

This old guy arranged everything for Hong Changan, the King of Tang, from birth to death.

There was another layer of hidden worry that neither of them exposed.

With an army of 350,000, Xu Xiao has become the number one vassal king of Liyang.

It would be impossible for Zhao Li not to be worried when such a powerful military force is in the hands of foreign princes.

But now Xu Xiao is at the peak of his achievements, so the idea of ​​reducing the power of the vassal states cannot be mentioned at all.

The Spring and Autumn National War has come to an end, and from now on, there will be more struggles than cooperation between Li Yang and Bei Liang.

"Benxi, it's a good idea, but it's probably too early to bring it up now."

Yuan Benxi said, "Xu Xiao is in Kyoto now. It will be difficult for him to come to Beijing in the future."

"For this kind of thing, of course it would be most appropriate to have him agree to it in person."

"Besides, he is the king of a different surname bestowed by His Majesty, and he married his daughter. He is very proud!"

Zhao Li nodded and said, "Xu Xiao should also share my worries! I will talk to him in person some other day."

A few days later, on the eve of Xu Xiao's departure from Tai'an City.

In the Baohe Hall of Tai'an City, Zhao Li, Xu Xiao and Yang Taisui were all drunk.

Yang Taisui is an old monk dressed in black. He is knowledgeable and has studied the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in depth.

Yang Taisui gives advice and Xu Xiao sweeps the world, and the two are Zhao Li's right-hand men.

The three of them had gone up to the Baohe Hall in Tai'an City together many times, where they talked about world affairs and drank heavily.

This time the world was unified, Xu Xiao left Beijing immediately, and the three of them had another round of drinking.

"Monk, butcher, we finally unified the world!"

"From now on, Beimang is the only enemy in this world!"

"Within ten years, we will prepare our troops, invade Beidi City, and capture Empress Murong alive!"

Yang Taisui said with a big tongue, "If the butcher had been tougher back then, Empress Murong would have been chopped off long ago."

Three years ago, because of Xu Xiao's rise to power, someone in the court planned the White Clothes Case.

Yang Taisui was one of the masterminds and almost killed Princess Wu Su.

Although Xu Xiao didn't say anything on the surface, he always held a grudge in his heart.

"You damn monk, you know nothing!"

"If it was that easy to take her down, she wouldn't be Empress Murong."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will watch over the north for you and help you relieve your worries!"

Zhao Li said, "Okay, I just need you to share my worries."

"There is something I need your help with right now!"

"I know my destiny. Among the three of us, I am afraid I will go first."

"Butcher, I have found a son-in-law for you! Tang Wang Li Changan!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, "How can a tiger girl marry a dog boy!"

"How can my daughter, Xu Xiao, marry the slave of the Hong family?"

Zhao Li said slowly, "Just now we were talking about the unification of the world, and the eight kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period are all my subjects."

"The Hong family surrendered to the Heavenly Dynasty, which means they have made great contributions, and the King of Tang is a king bestowed by me!"

After Zhao Li said this, Xu Xiao couldn't refuse.

He can look down on Li Changan, but he cannot look down on Wang Jue.

Zhao Li held Xu Xiao's hand, looking very open-hearted.

"I won't live for many more years, and your daughter is my daughter.

I will arrange your daughter's marriage with the ceremony of a princess!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao immediately stood up.

"What do you mean, let Li Changan be my daughter's lord marquis?"

"If the prince becomes a county horse, then his title of Tang King is still hereditary..."

At this point, Xu Xiao also figured it out, "Which old fox came up with this bad idea?"

"You're so obsessed with your reputation that you keep the Tang King as a presentable figure, but you want me to clean up your mess?"

Seeing that Xu Xiao understood, Zhao Li continued, "I can't leave the trouble to future generations."

Xu Xiao thought about it carefully and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong in having a prince as his son-in-law.

My daughter is still young now, and there will be many variables in the future.

What Zhao Li meant was the imperial edict, and discussing it with him was already giving him enough face.

If an imperial decree was issued directly, such a great favor would be impossible to refuse.

"You are His Majesty, I obey you."

half a month later.

Li Changan, who had already prepared to escape, received an imperial edict from the Liyang Dynasty to inherit the title.

Cao Zhengchun said angrily, "This dog emperor actually wants to change your highness's surname."

This is exactly what made Li Changan laugh and cry. Logically speaking, this matter is quite insulting.

However, Li Changan didn't want to have the surname Hong at all.

Especially after the Emperor of the Hong family did such a shameless thing, Li Changan no longer wanted to be called by the surname Hong.

Changing back to the surname Li was the first thing Li Changan did after leaving the palace.

Although Li Changan is in reincarnation, he doesn't want to be a slave of the Wan family.

"Lao Cao, I think the last name Li is a good one."

Cao Zhengchun's expression froze as he thought of Gu Dazu's words that had spread throughout the world.

People all over the world are ashamed of the surname Hong!

"Ah... If your Highness thinks it's a good idea, then let's take the surname Li."

"What do you plan to do next, Your Highness? Do you want to be the King of Tang, or go on the run?"

If I run away, I will be a wanted criminal in Liyang from then on and I will never be able to live in peace anywhere.

Of course, with the system and skills in hand, it is not impossible for him to develop in hiding.

However, if Li Changan wants to increase his influence in five dimensions, it is not easy to hide.

In the long run, Zhao Li only has a few years left to live. The open and covert struggles between Beiliang and Liyang will soon begin. In a place like Yongzhou, although it is a place of war on all sides, it is also convenient to take advantage of the situation.

If the situation was not particularly critical, Li Changan would not be inclined to hide and develop.

"Lao Cao, let's go to another brothel to listen to music and be a free and easy prince!"

Li Changan took his servants and set out for Yongzhou to become the King of Tang.

Most of the Jinyiwei followed Li Changan north.

However, Li Changan did not force some of them who were attached to their homeland, and allowed them to gather intelligence on the spot and plan to restore their country.

Four years later, Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang passed away.

The second prince Zhao Chun took Yuan Benxi as his teacher and won the battle for the throne over Jing'an Prince Zhao Heng to become the new emperor of the Liyang Dynasty.

Zhao Li and Xu Xiao are close brothers, their friendship still exists and their conflicts can be hidden.

When Zhao Chun ascended the throne, he became a little impatient with the power of this king of a different surname.

Therefore, after the one-year mourning period was over, Zhao Chun officially sent out the signal of reducing the power of the feudal lords.

The seven vassal kings of the Liyang Dynasty each have their own thoughts, and the already unstable Liyang dynasty is on the verge of turmoil again.

Lingzhou, Qingliang Mountain, and the Northern Liang Palace.

Fifteen-year-old Xu Fengnian barged into Xu Xiao's study room with a carefree attitude.

Xu Fengnian was born to the late Princess Wu Su of Beiliang. He is the eldest son of Xu Xiao and the Crown Prince of the Beiliang Palace.

Wu Su was seriously injured in the White Clothes Case and died a few years later.

Xu Fengnian was angry that Xu Xiao played coward and refused to avenge his mother, so he always held a grudge against him.

Xu Xiao also felt guilty towards Xu Fengnian because of this, so he always indulged Xu Fengnian's debauchery.

At the same time, in order to reduce the hostility of the Liyang court, Xu Fengnian also deliberately pretended to be a dandy.

Therefore, Xu Fengnian is now a well-known playboy in the Liyang Dynasty.

"Xu Xiao! Xu Xiao!"

"Has my second sister's wedding been cancelled?"

When Xu Xiao heard that Xu Fengnian was coming, he smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Feng Nian has arrived. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have submitted eight memorials."

"But your majesty always says that the late emperor's will cannot be changed!"

Xu Fengnian insisted, "Then why did you agree to it?"

"Li Changan is a slave of a conquered country. Why would he marry my second sister?"

"I asked Lu Qiu'er, and Fushui Society investigated Li Chang'an. He is just a playboy who is not good at either literature or martial arts!"

Xu Xiao said, "Feng Nian, don't people also say that you are a playboy?"

Xu Fengnian crossed his arms and said, "How can he compare with this prince?"

"Don't you even look at who my father is and who his father is!"

Hearing this, Xu Xiao puffed out his chest and looked smug.

Xu Fengnian continued, "I think we can't rely on you for this matter. Let my second sister cancel the marriage and both sides sign the marriage cancellation contract."

"Now that we have the contract, you can submit a petition. The emperor should agree."

Xu Xiao thought about it, then muttered, "It's hard to say!"

"Breaking off the engagement without permission is disobeying the emperor's order!"

Xu Fengnian slapped Xu Xiao on the back and said, "Xu Xiao, who are you trying to fool?"

"Haven't you resisted enough?"

"Last year, the court asked you to rush to Jiange to help resist the barbarians. Did you go?"

"The year before last, the imperial court said that Lu Qiu'er and his men abused the people and that military discipline was in disarray. Did you deal with it?"

"Also, when the court asked you to report the strategy for defending Beimang, did you ever report it based on the actual situation?"

After hearing these words, Xu Xiao suddenly seemed to be ten years younger!
"My son Fengnian has the qualities to be a wise king!"

"I never thought that you would start to secretly pay attention to Beiliang's political affairs!"

Xu Fengnian said angrily, "Bullshit! I asked Lu Qiuer all these questions just to shut you up!"

Xu Xiao didn't get angry when he heard that. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time!"

"I also want to see if my son Fengnian's plan can help Weixiong cancel this engagement!"

Xu Fengnian added, "By the way, let Lu Qiuer go with us!"

"With Lu Qiu'er here, no one in this Liyang world can hurt my second sister!"

Seven days later.

Yongzhou, Jincheng.

At this moment, Li Changan was listening to music and watching dance in the most luxurious brothel, Meixianyuan.

Most of the high-class brothels were named “Yuan”, “Guan” or “Ge”.

Low-class brothels are often named "ban", "lou" or "dian".

Every time he thought of the knowledge he had learned in the new world, Li Changan couldn't help but sigh that nuclear war had wiped out some culture.

The most popular brothel in Kyoto in the world of Joy of Life is actually called Zuixianlou, how embarrassing!

Seven or eight young men from the big families in the city were all Li Changan’s cronies.

The beautiful dancer is as soft as a bone, with a slim waist, slender arms and graceful dancing.

In this erotic and ambiguous atmosphere, the playboys felt dry mouth and burning with desire.

However, Li Changan was bored!

Because his singing level was so poor, he missed Sang Wen a little.

However, there are also singers and dancers in this world, such as the milk turtle Youwei, who is a great singer and dancer.

When I have mastered martial arts, I will definitely find her and appreciate her singing voice.

Over the years, Li Changan has made progress in all rankings. The system made a settlement and rewarded him with 15,000 Red Dust Points.

Li Changan spent 17,000 Red Dust Points to exchange for martial arts, light skills, and templates of various characters.

Over the years, due to the expansion of the Jinyiwei across the country, Li Changan's power has gradually increased to more than 100 people.

He had some achievements in wealth and literature and art, but Li Changan did not put too much thought into them.

World: Snow Walk
Age: 17 years old

Realm: Martial Arts Level 2 Peak

Kung Fu: Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu (9th level)
Martial arts: Dragon Capturing Skill (Great Mastery), Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms (Minor Mastery), Crossing the River with a Reed (Great Mastery)

Su Hui: All-knowing wisdom, photographic memory, master of all realms

Abilities: (expand)

Red Dust: 9000 points (accumulated 16 points)

排名：权势125、财富9600、武力114、风流1万+、文艺8500
After several years of practice, Li Changan has reached the peak of the second level.

Just one step away from entering the first level.

There are about 150 top masters in this world, namely the King Kong, Zhixuan, Celestial, and Land Immortals.

Li Changan's current strength should be stronger than some warriors who have just entered the first rank.

Over the years, he has acquired two more martial arts, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Crossing the River on a Reed.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is an extremely powerful and masculine martial art. When paired with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Paramita Skill, it is extremely brutal and powerful.

Crossing the river with a reed is a light skill suitable for the inner strength of Buddhism.

In addition, Li Changan also exchanged for a group of killers similar to the Six Sword Slaves, the Eight Linglong, as guards who specialize in handling secret matters.

The eight Linglong templates were all of the second-grade cultivation level. They were exchanged two years ago, and Li Changan found eight people in the Jinyiwei to merge with them.

After the four men and four women merged their templates, their strength reached the early second grade, and now they basically have the cultivation level of the middle second grade.

At this time, Qian Sha, one of the Eight Linglongs, came to report.

"Your Highness, the second princess of Beiliang has come to cancel her engagement, and with her is Chu Lushan, one of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons."

When the name of Princess Beiliang was heard, the brothel suddenly became quiet.

When they heard Chu Lushan's name, the dancers in the brothels were so scared that they collapsed to the ground.

Most people play with women, but Chu Lushan wants to kill people!
