Li Shi Min didn't say anything, and the High Dukes were also silent out of fear. Countless thoughts had already formed in their minds.
The first thing they thought of was that Xu Chen was Li Shiming's illegitimate son! However, in the next second, he immediately rejected it.
His Majesty was only 29 years old this year, and Xu Chen looked to be 14 or 15 years old. Could it be that His Majesty had given birth before he was 16 years old?
Even if there was, he should have known about the existence of such a person long ago. Looking at his expression now, it didn't seem like he knew about it in advance!
Moreover, although Xu Chen looked similar to Li Shiming, his temperament was completely different. If he was really a prince, he should have been born with a noble aura. They didn't feel it from Xu Chen. Instead, they felt that he was a maverick and frivolous.
It seemed like this was just a coincidence. Of course, they didn't know that Li Shiming was secretly searching for the First Prince!
Even Zhangsun Wuji knew very little about what happened that year. It was a secret that belonged to Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun.
Only Yuchi Gong stared at Xu Chen with his eyes wide open, speechless.
At this moment, Xue Rengui also brought a few porcelain bowls from the kitchen and poured a bowl of tea for several guests, including Xu Chen. His tea art was not bad, and everyone was dazzled.
"Everyone, please enjoy your tea."
Xue Rengui didn't care about the atmosphere. He spoke first and broke the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
After pouring the tea, she stood beside Xu Chen like a bodyguard without saying a word.
"Old Li, long time no see."
Xu Chen took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
During the incident at Xuanwu Gate, the light was too dim and it was night time. Li Shimin was wearing armor, so he didn't take a closer look.
Looking at him now, he was indeed extraordinary and looked like a wise ruler! In terms of looks, she could be considered to be on par with him!
This "Old Li" caused the various High Dukes to tremble.
In this world, Xu Chen was the first person who dared to call Li Shiming "Old Li"! Just this courage alone was enough to make them admire him.
This was like stroking a tiger's beard!
However, unexpectedly, Li Shi Min didn't seem angry at all. Instead, he stared at Xu Chen for a long time and suddenly laughed. He stood up and bowed,
"Hahaha, so Mr. Xu Chen is the Gold Armor General, and the Gold Armor General is Mr. Xu Chen!”
"I was confused! Mister Xu Chen saved my life, so I should thank him!”
When he spoke, he no longer addressed him as " I ". This was considered a form of etiquette for the Emperor, a very noble form of etiquette! It had the same effect as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "ritual of lowering one's rank" to Wei Qing.
"This, this, this, this…"
Zhangsun Wuji was dumbstruck as he looked on, his entire person turning into a stammer.
He had never seen Li Shi Min bow to anyone before! Even when he was still the King of Qin, he would at most bow to Li Yuan to greet him. Today, he actually bowed to this kid?!
He felt as if his brain had crashed…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't do that!"
Fang Xuanling shouted in panic.
The Son of Heaven can only worship heaven, earth, and parents. How can he worship a mortal?! Who could withstand a bow from the Son of Heaven?
All the High Dukes tried to dissuade him. Only the pale-faced Yuchi Gong leaned against the table and slowly walked in front of Xu Chen. He fell to his knees with a thud and panted heavily.
"Mr. Xu Chen…you have saved my life time and time again. It is as if you have given birth to a new parent. His Majesty has bowed to you, so I, Yuchi Gong, should kowtow to you!”
As he spoke, he really kowtowed to Xu Chen in a daze!
"Old General Yuchi, you can't do that!”
Xu Chen was shocked when he saw this. He quickly got up and helped Yuchi Gong up.
"System, check Yuchi Gong's current physical condition.”
The old man was so weak, but he still came to thank him personally. Xu Chen was really touched.
"Scanning in progress, please wait…"
"Scanning complete! Yuchi Gong's bodily functions were no different from the last physical examination. The toxins in his body had been cleared. Although his organs showed signs of premature aging, they were still functioning normally. He just needed to replenish the energy he needed in time! The system could make an exception and give him RE001 nutrition pills to help him recover earlier.”
As the system's voice sounded, a green sugar pill appeared in Xu Chen's pocket. It looked like a rainbow candy.
The system was usually very stingy with strengthening drugs and nutrition pills. Even Xu Chen had to apply for them. It was indeed an exception to give one to an outsider.
"Old General, I have a sugar pill here. After you take it, you will feel much better.”
Xu Chen gave the RE001 nutrition pill to Yuchi Gong and immediately instructed Xue Rengui,
"Rengui, get some cold medicine for the old man.”
Xue Rengui immediately nodded when he heard that. He took a bowl of cold white water from the kitchen and fed Yuchi Gong the green sugar pill.
Weirdly enough, Yuchi Gong's entire face flushed red in just a breath's time after eating the candy. After the flush, it turned back to a light red color, returning to the face of a normal person!
All the nutrients and energy consumption that Yuchi Gong's body needed were greatly replenished at this moment. It was equivalent to three months of recuperation!
Now, he seemed to have returned to the state he was in before the coup of the Black Tortoise Sect. All his energy had returned, and he was once again the number one general of the Great Tang!
He even felt that he was a few years younger…
"So powerful!"
Cheng Yaojin and the others praised. Yuchi Gong's body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, making people sigh at Xu Chen's miraculous medical skills!
This time, they felt a little itchy in their hearts. They also wanted that green pill.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu Chen, for the medicine!"
Yuchi Gong suddenly cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Xu Chen. He was excited.
The feeling of being so weak that he couldn't get out of bed was too uncomfortable for him. It was better to feel full of strength!
"Yes, I only have one pill left. It's really too difficult to refine it. It's even passed down from my master.”
Xu Chen glanced at everyone and reminded them with a smile.
In other words, if this thing is gone, don't even think about it!
"Yuchi Jingde will definitely cultivate and recuperate. He won't dare to go against Mister Xu Chen's wishes.”
Yuchi Gong was touched, and he respected Xu Chen even more. However, as his health improved, his playful personality returned to normal. He said proudly,
"Everyone, let me introduce my savior. This is the golden-armored youth that His Majesty has been searching for for a long time!”
The Dukes were shocked again. They had no idea how many times they had been shocked today, but this was definitely the biggest one.
On the day of the Black Tortoise Gate incident, the Golden Armor General who had turned the tide and supported the collapse of the building, the God of War who could fight against 5,000 Imperial Army soldiers, was this young man in front of him?!
They were about to faint…
Thank you, everyone, for your school belle and evaluation votes…
