On the other side, Li Chuan had already ordered 500 light cavalry to hide outside the city.
He disguised himself and sneaked into the city. After a few inquiries, he directly came to the door of a mansion in the east of the city.
Looking at the plaque hanging on the gate tower, he knew that he had arrived at his destination.
He was already dressed in plain clothes and had the Sword of the Emperor Qin hanging at his waist. He had a different kind of charm.
Then, Li Chuan smiled and walked forward.
Before he could speak, a middle-aged man with a goatee immediately came up to Li Chuan with a smile and said politely,"May I ask why Young Master is here?”
"Is State Duke Peng in your residence?" Li Chuan had a faint smile on his face as he asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Looking for the High Duke?
The bearded middle-aged man Yang Xu was stunned at first, but he did not dare to be negligent. After all, if one did not have nothing to fear these days, who would dare to behave atrociously in the Imperial Residence?
In Youzhou, even the Governor of Youzhou, King Lujiang, had to give the Duke some face.
He was already an old man in the Imperial Residence and had seen countless high-ranking officials and nobles. Although this young master in front of him was young, he gave him a noble and oppressive feeling.
Therefore, he felt that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"The High Duke is currently resting. May I ask Young Master's name?”
Therefore, the goateed middle-aged man began to politely inquire about Li Chuan's background. If he were to disturb the High Duke with a random person, he would probably be beaten to death by the High Duke. However, he knew that he could not neglect such a person.
"Give this sword to State Duke Peng and tell him that an old friend is here.”
Li Chuan didn't say anything else. He directly untied the Qin Emperor Sword from his waist and handed it to the goateed middle-aged man.
Naturally, he had no friendship with Wang Junkuo, but this guy had been under Li Er and fought Wang Shichong together, so it was not wrong to say that they were old friends.
The middle-aged man with the goatee looked at Li Chuan in shock.
He carefully took the Qin Emperor Sword from Li Chuan's hand and could not help but sigh in his heart. What a good sword!
"Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the Duke.”
After saying that, he ran into the Public House very smoothly and quickly disappeared through the door.
Li Chuan, on the other hand, was a little bored. He began to think about the meeting later.
Unknowingly, he had fallen into a trance. It was only when a hearty laugh entered his ears that he came back to his senses.
"Brother! I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and you've finally come. I missed you so much!”
Li Chuan saw an extraordinary, bearded man in gorgeous clothes running towards him and gave him a big bear hug.
F * ck…
Taking advantage of Yours Truly?
Forget it, on account of taking all your credit, I won't argue with you.
"Brother Wang, I miss you too!”
Li Chuan smiled and pretended to be polite.
"Order the kitchen to prepare all the good wine and dishes. Later, this Duke and my brother will not return until we are drunk.”
Immediately after, Wang Junkuo shouted at the servants in the manor, then pulled Li Chuan's hand and dragged him into the manor.
When the two of them arrived at the study, the smile on Wang Junkuo's face disappeared without a trace. He turned around and looked at Li Chuan, saying coldly,"Who are you? How dare you impersonate His Highness the King of Qin?"
"State Duke Peng, it's His Highness the Crown Prince. Soon, it'll be His Majesty.”
Li Chuan didn't care about Wang Junkuo's aggressive aura. He walked to the wooden table in the study and sat down with a smile.
Then, he picked up the jade pot on the table and poured himself a cup of wine. He took a sip and continued,"Good wine."
He really treated this place as his own home.
He drank the wine in the jade cup in one gulp, then said in a calm and meaningful manner,
"I'm the Serenity Plains 'Observer. I'm here on the orders of the Crown Prince to visit the Duke. With the Duke's intelligence, you should know the purpose of this trip.”
Hearing this, Wang Junkuo stood where he was and continued to size up Li Chuan. After a long time, the serious expression on his face slowly relaxed and he smiled."So it's the lord lookout. I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince sent you here?”
Li Chuan saw that Wang Junkuo was pretending to be confused, so he didn't point it out. Instead, he said with a serious expression,"His Highness the Crown Prince thinks highly of the Duke. After pacifying Wang Shichong, His Highness the Crown Prince was very fond of the position of the Governor of Youzhou.”
Wang Junkuo's eyes lit up, but he quickly returned to normal. He came to Li Chuan's side and sat down. He picked up the jade wine pot and filled Li Chuan's cup first, then filled his own cup.
This time, Li Chuan did not drink first. Instead, he looked at the other party like a dog and slowly said,
"Your Highness knows that the High Duke has a military strategy in his heart and is loyal to the Great Tang. However, His Majesty and the former Crown Prince were concerned about King Lujiang, and His Highness was powerless to change the situation.”
"Right now, Youzhou is in turmoil. Your Highness has already secretly mobilized the army. If there is any change in Youzhou, you can destroy it at any time. Everyone in the world knows that His Highness loves and cherishes talents. He can't bear to see the State Duke ruin his bright future because of some villains, so he sent me to visit the State Duke.”
He said a lot in one breath, explaining the pros and cons. He knew that Wang Junkuo was a man who forgets justice for the sake of profit. Although he was brave, he was blinded by greed.
In addition, he did not have the guts to rebel and only wanted to get some benefits.
He had already drawn a pie for him, drawing out what he had dreamed of getting. Whether he ate it or not, it was up to him.
As for whether Li Er would give him the position of Governor of Youzhou Province, it was not something he could care about.
In history, Wang Junkuo did get what he wanted after he killed Li Yuan.
But now, Li Chuan felt that only God knew.
