Dugu Ce followed the maidservant to the hall of the ship.
Madam Dongming was already waiting in the hall.
She sat at the main seat, wearing a lake-green dress. Her figure was graceful, and her face was covered with a light veil, as if she did not want others to see her true face.
Unfortunately, who was Dugu Ce?
Cultivators and Qi Practitioners cultivated the evil path of plucking flowers, so their eyes were the most vicious.
A thin veil was not enough to block Dugu Ce's vision.
Young Master Ce came to the hall and saw through Lady Dong Ming Shan Meixian's face as if it was nothing.
This woman was incomparably beautiful, and her beauty could topple cities.
She already had a daughter as old as Shan Wanjing, but she still looked like a young girl who was not even twenty years old.
What was even rarer was that she also had a noble and elegant temperament. Compared to a young girl, she had a different kind of charm that easily aroused the desire of men to conquer her.
Dugu Ce knew that Madam Dongming was Empress Yin's daughter, Zhu Yuyan. She had cultivated the Great Art of the Sky Demon since she was young, and she had the ability to keep her face. Not to mention that she looked young now, she would probably still be young and beautiful in another thirty to forty years, just like Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan.
Other things aside, the Great Art of the Sky Devil could already be compared to cultivation techniques in terms of preserving one's youth.
"Nice to meet you, Madam."
Dugu Ce smiled, cupped his hands, and bowed slightly. He was of noble status, a direct descendant of the Dugu family, and a relative of the emperor. Naturally, he would not pay his respects to Lady Dongming, a " foreign friend " from a foreign country.
It was already very polite to be able to bow with cupped hands.
"Hello, Young Master Dugu." Madam Dong Ming bowed and returned the greeting.""Please take a seat and serve some tea."
Dugu Ce sat down, and a maidservant served him tea.
After taking a few sips of tea and exchanging a few pleasantries with Madam Dongming, Madam Dongming said,""Young Master Dugu isn't enjoying his life in Luoyang, nor is he following the Emperor on his southern tour of Jiangdu. Instead, he came to Peng County to play.”
"I don't have any special intentions," Dugu Ce said with a smile."I just came out to travel and broaden my horizons.”
"Oh?" Madam Dongming's beautiful eyes stared at Dugu Ce, and her long eyelashes swept across him." Then, I wonder what Young Master Ce's thoughts are about the war that has been raging in the world during your recent travels?”
"Thoughts?" Dugu Ce held the teacup in his hand and said,""The world is in chaos. I'm afraid there will be a dragon and snake rising.”
Madam Dongming asked,"Young Master, since you know that the world is in chaos and that a world of great strife is coming, do you have any thoughts?" Should he follow the Dugu family to protect the Sui family, or choose another wise lord to serve, or establish his own sect to compete with the dragons and snakes of the world?”
Dugu Ce's heart moved slightly. Madam Dongming's words were definitely too deep.
"What does Furen mean?" Dugu Ce pretended to be surprised." I am the commander of the Xiaoguo Army and the minion of the emperor. I naturally have to protect the emperor and kill the rebels. I will return the world to the Great Sui Dynasty." How could he betray the Tian family and serve the traitor?”
Madam Dong Ming chuckled, her beautiful eyes shining brightly as she said softly,"
"On my ship, East Ocean, does Young Master Ce not dare to reveal his true feelings? How heroic was Young Master yesterday at the Emerald Pavilion? Why are you pretending in front of a woman like me? You should know that I am not from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, it doesn't matter who is in charge. Young Master announced in front of me that he would chop off the Emperor's head, and I would not report you to the current Emperor.”
Dugu Ce shook his head and smiled." Of course I know. Madam is the Sect Master of the East Ocean Sect and has long settled down in Ryukyu." The world of the Central Plains has nothing to do with you. Ce also knew that Madam's East Ocean Sect dealt in weapons, salt, and iron. What they liked the most was chaos in the world. The world was in chaos, and the flames of war were everywhere. Madam's Eastern Sea Sect could only sell weapons everywhere and earn big profits. Ce also knew that Madam's trip was at the invitation of Li Shimin, who wrote a letter to advise Li Yuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. Ce was even clear that Madam's words just now were nothing more than wanting Ce to serve the Li family.”
Madam Dongming's expression changed slightly, and she said slowly,""Young Master Ce is indeed a hero with a beautiful heart. You even know the purpose of my trip to the Central Plains. Yes, I was invited to meet Li Shimin at Weishan Lake and help him write a letter to persuade Li Yuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. Since you already know about this, what are your plans?”
Hearing this, Dugu Ce sighed in his heart,[Nowadays, even a human dares to talk about rebellion in public.] The Great Sui, which had once swept the world and sent people from all over the world to congratulate it, was already in a precarious situation and was about to reach the end of its path.
Shaking his head, Dugu Ce threw away his meaningless feelings and said,""Let me first talk about one thing, it's impossible for me to join the Li Family. No matter how big Li Shi Min is, he can't tolerate me…"
When he said this, he thought to himself, Li Shimin's wife, Zhangsun Wugou, nicknamed Guanyin Maid, had the destiny of a phoenix. If I can pluck it, it will be of great benefit to my cultivation.
Dugu Ce also wanted to meet Li Shiming's sister.
If Li Shimin had the magnanimity to give his wife and sister away, then Dugu Ce wouldn't mind joining Li Shimin.
However, did Li Shiming have such a big tolerance? Could he withstand the baptism of being cuckolded?
Dugu Ce thought that it was impossible.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to join Li Shiming.
Thoughts of disrespect to Emperor Taizong swirled in Dugu Ce's mind as he continued,""As for the matter of Furen persuading Li Yuan to raise an army, Ce will not stop her.”
At this point, he looked at Madam Dong Ming and smiled mysteriously.""To Madam, the more chaotic the world is, the better business is. In terms of countermeasures, the more chaotic the world was, the more opportunities there would be. We…are the same."
