Li Jiancheng also had eyes and ears in the palace.
Li Yuan sent Li Shimin and Xiao Yu to find the young genius who had the Prosperous Age Mai, and Li Jiancheng soon received the news.
The Eastern Palace's strategists thought that the Prosperous Age Mai was the most precious treasure in the world. If Li Shimin found it in advance, it would be equivalent to making a great contribution.
At that time, Li Shimin's prestige would skyrocket and the people would be grateful. His position as the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace might be lost.
Thus, Li Jiancheng was unwilling to fall behind and followed Li Shimin to the Village of Zhuzi.
However, Li Jiancheng didn't know Li Zhao's background and thought that he was just an ordinary youth. Thus, he didn't come in casual clothes like Li Shiming did, and instead brought a group of soldiers and horses, and swaggered over as the Crown Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yu and the others hurriedly bowed to Li Jiancheng.
Even Li Shi Min had to address him as 'Crown Prince' and put on a good show.
Only Li Zhao was sitting on a stone bench, leisurely drinking tea, ignoring Li Jiancheng, who was sitting high on his horse.
The Village of Zhuzi was a paradise, and it had been many years since they had seen a war. Li Jiancheng had actually brought troops here, and he would definitely alarm the villagers. How could Li Zhao give him a good look?
"How dare you, country bumpkin. The current crown prince is here, why aren't you bowing?”
Eastern Palace General Xue Wanche stepped forward and pointed at Li Zhao, reprimanding him.
Whoosh!
Li Zhao moved his feet and instantly passed through the crowd like a bolt of lightning. His towering figure stood in front of Xue Wanche like an iron tower.
His speed was too fast, so fast that Xue Wanche's vision blurred. Before he could react, Li Zhao's strong wind forced him back half a step.
Kacha ~~
The green stone slab in front of the pavilion was also instantly crushed by Li Zhao.
Li Shi Min and Yuchi Gong looked at each other, their eyes filled with amazement.
That bluestone slab weighed a few hundred jin, yet it was lightly crushed by Li Zhao's foot. This kind of shen power, even Yuchi Gong might not be able to do it.
In addition to his lightning-like speed, anyone who knew martial arts could tell that the young man had extraordinary martial arts skills without even having to make a move.
"Could he really be the young God of War who resolved the siege of Chang 'an?”
Li Shi Min's suspicion grew.
Xue Wanche was shocked and was about to pull out his Mo Sword.
"Wan Che, stop!"
Li Jiancheng stopped him.
The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace also saw the stone slab under Li Zhao's feet crack and realized that the youth in front of him was extraordinary.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Li Zhao, but Li Shi Min was here. If Xue Wan Che didn't make a move, he would be seen as a joke by his brother.
"Little brother, I'm looking for a young man called Li Zhao. Do you know him?”
Li Jiancheng asked, but he still didn't get off his horse. He was high and mighty, and his tone was full of the air of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.
"I am."
Li Zhao replied coldly.
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, and a strange look flashed through his eyes. He sized up Li Zhao, as if he believed too much.
"I heard that you have cultivated a type of wheat called Shengshi wheat. Is that true?”Li Jiancheng asked again.
"So what?"
Li Zhao knew that he was here for Glory World Mai, but he did not deny it.
With his innate strength and unparalleled martial arts, he would not be afraid even if he brought an army of a million men to rob them, let alone Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng smiled and waved his whip at Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche understood and quickly ordered the Eastern Palace guards to carry the large iron boxes to the stone pavilion.
When the chest was opened, it was filled with gold, silver, and jewelry, worth more than hundreds of millions.
Li Jiancheng pointed at the wealth with his horsewhip and smiled.""Li Zhao, tell bengong the seeds of your golden wheat and the method to cultivate them. This gold and silver can be considered bengong's reward to you.”
Seeing Li Jiancheng's situation, Li Shimin relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief.
Clearly, his elder brother, the Crown Prince, had not heard all the news and had not yet figured out Li Zhao's character. He had rushed over in a hurry and actually wanted to use money to buy Shengshi Mai.
This young genius even treated the fame and fortune of becoming a marquis and marrying the daughter of a duke as fleeting clouds. Would he still care about a few boxes of gold and silver?
Li Jiancheng, however, had a confident look on his face as he looked down at Li Zhao with a smile. He thought that a country bumpkin would definitely be overwhelmed and overjoyed when he, the Crown Prince, personally came to reward him with so many monetary benefits.
Li Zhao slowly stepped forward, grabbed a gold ingot, and gently clenched his fingers.
Crack ~~
When he loosened his fingers again, a gold ingot was crushed into golden sand and scattered on the ground.
"This kid actually has such great strength?”
When Li Jiancheng saw this scene, his expression could not help but change, and he sucked in a breath of cold air.
"If Your Highness wants to buy it, you can give up your position as the Crown Prince and buy it from me as an ordinary citizen.”
"I only sell this Shengshi Mai to the common people.”
Li Zhao dusted off the gold dust on his hands, turned around, and left, leaving Li Jiancheng frozen on the horse's back.
