On the south street of Jiangdu City, there was an inconspicuous mansion. The surroundings were quiet and quiet, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. On the plaque of the mansion, there were three big words carved in a flamboyant manner-Wind and Cloud Pavilion.
Li Shi Min held a small brocade box in his hand as he stood in front of the mansion. He looked at the three big words on the board and said thoughtfully,"Feng Wuxiang, Yun Wuchang, the gathering of wind and clouds, the world…"
Li Shi Min's eyes glinted, but he swallowed the last part of his sentence. His expression became serious as he strode into the mansion.
"Young Master, Young Master Li is here to see you.”
The temperature in the heated pavilion was unusually high. Only then did Li Shi Min realize that the strange fragrance he smelled at the door was actually emitted by this charcoal fire. He couldn't help but feel amazed, secretly praising the profound foundation of the Profound Secrets Pavilion and its many treasures.
"Oh? Is Brother Li here? Quickly help me up…"
Li Shi Min heard Zhangsun Wuji's weak voice and quickly quickened his pace,""Mr. Zhangsun has not fully recovered from his injuries, so it's better not to act rashly.”
Only then did Zhangsun Wuji lie back down and chuckled."Brother Li has received the high position of assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue from His Majesty. I haven't had the time to congratulate you yet, but Brother Li has come over first.”
"The official documents from the Minister of Revenue haven't been approved yet, so it's still too early to talk about it." But Mr. Zhangsun's body is fine, right? I know that there are many treasures in the Profound Secrets Pavilion, so I didn't bring any medicine. I only took some pea cakes from Taiyuan. I hope Mr. Zhangsun won't mind.”
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up and he said happily,""You know me, Brother Li. When I was young, I went to the Northern Lands and loved the local pea cake. I didn't expect to be able to eat it today. I'm really lucky.”
With that, Zhangsun Wuji ordered someone to bring the brocade box over and began to eat.
Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wuji who was eating with relish and suddenly said,""When I went to the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant for dinner this afternoon, I met Tuli!”
Zhangsun Wuji paused, but he did not stop. Instead, he continued to enjoy the pastries.
Li Shi Min narrowed his eyes and continued,"Tuli took the initiative to come forward and talk to me. He talked about major matters inside and outside the pass as if he had been my old friend for many years. He even took the initiative to propose trade with Taiyuan.”
Zhangsun Wuji swallowed the pastry and took a sip of tea. He said calmly,""Taiyuan is backed by the grasslands. Brother Li must have had a good time talking to Prince Tuli, right?”
"It was indeed you who secretly arranged it. What are your intentions?”
"What do you think of Tuli, Brother Li?”
Li Shi Min frowned, but still answered honestly,"Although Prince Tuli was born in the Turks, he has an extraordinary style of speech and is very knowledgeable about the culture of the Central Plains. Moreover, he had a forthright and open-minded personality. If not for his status, he could have become a good friend.”
Zhangsun Wuji revealed a satisfied expression and nodded.""Brother Li is indeed wise. Although Tuli and Jie Li were like fire and water, he was still the little prince of the Eastern Turks and had a revered status. If Brother Li can build a good relationship with him, Taiyuan will gain a lot of benefits.”
"Aren't you a guest invited by Yuwen Huaji?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously. Why are you helping me everywhere? Also, why would Prince Tuli listen to your orders?”
" Brother Li's first question," Zhangsun Wuji said." Forgive me for not being able to answer it for the time being. I can only tell you that I have no intention of harming you." As for the second question, the reason is very simple. When Jie Li sent people to hunt down Prince Tuli, it was my Profound Secrets Pavilion who saved his life. Later on, they also gave him a lot of help.”
After a pause, Zhangsun Wuji continued,"As a token of our goodwill, Prince Tuli will also give Brother Li a big gift.”
"What gift?"
"Tuli is willing to give the top scorer of Princess Ji Du's Joust For A Spouse to Brother Li!”
"What?" Li Shi Min was shocked.
"Because the Eastern Turks have taken out the Dragon Spring Sword as a prize, this martial arts tournament will definitely attract the attention of the world." Zhangsun Wuji smiled. If Brother Li's people can get first place, it will definitely give Brother Li a great reputation. At the same time, you can also befriend Princess Ji Du. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. With Pang Yu's strength, as long as Tuli is willing to withdraw, he should be able to take first place easily, right?”
"This…"
Li Shiming looked at Zhangsun Wuji in shock. Zhangsun Wuji's meticulous planning made him feel a little conflicted, but at the same time, he couldn't refuse such a tempting proposal.
Li Shi Min was very clear about his current situation. Although he was valued by Yang Guang, it was not enough to establish himself in Jiang Du. However, if he could gain the favor and great reputation of Princess Ji Du, then with King Reliance's power, the Yuwen and Xiao Factions would not dare to be too presumptuous towards him. Only then would he have the capital to fight back.
The only thing that made Li Shi Min hesitate was that he didn't know if he should trust the young master of the Mysterious Pavilion in front of him.
After all, the other party was very likely to be a member of the Yuwen clan!
Zhangsun Wuji also noticed Li Shiming's hesitation and said in a deep voice,""I swear to the heavens that I have no intention of harming Brother Li. Otherwise, the heavens will punish you!"
Li Shi Min's heart trembled, and he showed his dominance and said decisively,"Alright, I'll trust Mister Zhangsun this once. When I return, I'll get Pang Yu to sign up for the Joust For A Spouse!”
"I won't disappoint Brother Li!"
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed, and the Joust For A Spouse was nearing its final juncture.
In Zhengyang Hall, Yang Guang was trying his best to catch up on the information of the officials of the imperial court and the ways of governing the country.
Cao Zhengying quickly walked into the hall and said,"Your Majesty, great news. Another outstanding talent has appeared in the Joust For A Spouse. He's an outstanding talent of my Great Sui. His name is Pang Yu, and he has already won seven rounds in a row, all of which were defeated in one move. On the other hand, Tuli was not in a good state. In the end, our Great Sui's people were still the best!”
Yang Guang closed the book and raised his head."What was the name of that elite you mentioned just now?”
"Your Majesty, that young man is Pang Yu, a guard brought by Li Shiming from Taiyuan. He is only twenty-three years old, but he has already reached the peak of Houtian ninth stage. His Flowing Cloud Palm Technique is very domineering.”
Yang Guang's lips curled into an arc as he muttered,""Pang Yu has also appeared? It seemed that Li Shiming had already met Tuli. The show was finally about to begin. Zhangsun Wuji, no matter how resourceful you are, you definitely didn't expect that I already knew your entire plan, right?”
Everything was going according to Yang Guang's plan.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720192:32PM
