Hearing this, Zhangsun Wuji smiled bitterly.
In the end, his sister was still innocent. In order to compete with Li Jiancheng for the throne, His Highness the King of Qin had done many shady things behind his back.
This!
Based on his understanding of Li Shiming.
If Zhangsun Wugou really rejected the proposal, the other party would definitely enter the palace to request for a marriage.
"Humph!"
When he saw his elder brother's expression.
Instantly.
Zhangsun Wugou couldn't help but let out a cold snort. In his heart, he disliked the King of Qin, Li Shimin, who was praised by everyone. However, if they were to really bestow a marriage…
Then, Zhangsun Wugou's beautiful eyes turned and said to Zhangsun Wuji,
"Elder brother."
"If His Highness the King of Qin asks about this matter.”
"Just tell him that I, Zhangsun Wugou, was raised by Uncle and received great kindness. Therefore, this marriage must be decided by Uncle.”
Now, his elder brother was an advisor to Li Shimin's Prince Qin's mansion.
Therefore, he had no choice.
Zhangsun Wugou also didn't want Zhangsun Wuji to be implicated too much because of him, so he brought up their uncle, Gao Shilian.
Moreover, this Zhangsun Wugou was not just an excuse.
In fact.
After the Zhangsun siblings and their mother were banished back to their uncle's house by their half-brother, Sun Anshi, Zhangsun Wugou's uncle, Gao Shilian, treated them very well.
Thus, Zhangsun Wugou had always remembered his uncle's kindness.
"This!"
"That's the only way."
Upon hearing Zhangsun Wugou mention his uncle Gao Shilian, Zhangsun Wuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and couldn't help but sigh at his sister's intelligence.
Nine years later.
At that time, the Minister of War of the Great Sui, Hu Sizheng, fled to Goguryeo. Because Gao Shilian had dealings with Hu Sizheng, he was implicated and demoted to Lingnan as an official.
Later.
As a result, Gao Shilian followed Shangguan Qiuhe and attached himself to Xiao Xi.
Where is Xiao Xi from?
He was the great-grandson of Emperor Xuan of the Later Liang Dynasty. When he saw that the world was in chaos, the descendants of the royal family of the Western Liang Dynasty raised an army and quickly gathered the old officials and commoners of the Western Liang Dynasty to become a large force.
Now, he had 400,000 elite soldiers and was dominating the south.
This!
Therefore, how could Gao Shilian return to Chang 'an? Even the strength of the entire Tang Empire might not be able to defeat Xiao Xi.
However, without a better solution, Zhangsun Wuji could only do so.
Immediately after.
Temporarily putting aside the matter of Li Shiming's proposal, Zhangsun Wuji told Zhangsun Wugou about another matter,"
"Wugou."
"Today, His Majesty has ordered Princess Ping Yang and General Chai Shao to go to the south tomorrow to discuss important matters with Li Mi of the Wagang Stronghold, Yang Dong of Luoyang, and Wang Shichong.”
"You and Princess Ping Yang have always been good friends.”
Zhangsun Wugou did not have many friends.
However, Princess Ping Yang, Li Xiu Ning, was one of them.
Back in Taiyuan, the two of them had become good friends. They often talked about the past and the present together, criticizing the current malpractices. Zhangsun Wuji also wanted his sister to build a good relationship with Li Xiuning.
After all.
Princess Ping Yang was someone that even the Crown Prince and the King of Qin wanted to rope in.
"Yes!"
Hearing this.
Zhangsun Wugou's eyes lit up as he nodded.
Immediately after.
After Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou exchanged a few words, he stood up and left. When he saw his elder brother's figure, Zhangsun Wugou's beautiful eyes turned and he started packing his things.
...
The next day.
Zhangsun Wuji arrived at Zhangsun Wugou's room.
There was no one inside, and there was no sign of Zhangsun Wugou. On the table was a letter, and when he opened it, Zhangsun Wugou's handwriting came into view:
"Elder brother, the King of Qin forced me to marry him. Wugou didn't want you to be put in a difficult position in front of His Highness the King of Qin, so she has already followed Sister Xiu Ning to the south to travel and meet uncle.”
"If everything goes well, I will be by uncle's side for a long time. Please don't miss me, elder brother."
...
In short.
Zhangsun Wugou didn't want Li Shiming to make things difficult for Zhangsun Wuji, so he took advantage of Li Xiu Ning's trip to the south and followed her to the south to seek refuge with his uncle, Gao Shilian.
"This!"
Holding this letter, Zhangsun Wuji could not help but smile bitterly.
His sister had actually run away. This made him feel extremely surprised. However, when he thought of how Zhangsun Wugou had always had his own opinions, he felt relieved.
As for Zhangsun Wugou's safety, he wasn't worried.
Even though the world was in chaos and all the forces were fighting, Zhangsun Wugou was by Li Xiu Ning's side. Coincidentally, Li Xiu Ning was also going to Xiao Xi's place.
This was on the way!
Immediately after.
Zhangsun Wuji kept the letter and rushed to King Qin's residence.
"Wuji!"
"But Wugou agreed!"
When he saw Zhangsun Wuji rushing over, Li Shiming, who had been at home, immediately stood up from his seat. He looked at Zhangsun Wuji with joy and anticipation.
One had to know that he really liked Zhangsun Wugou!
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Zhangsun Wuji was the number one advisor of King Qin's Mansion. Many of his plans, strategies, and actions could not be separated from Zhangsun Wuji.
Thus, Li Shiming wanted to use Zhangsun Wugou to completely tie Zhangsun Wuji to his chariot.
"This!"
He looked at Li Shi Min's happy face.
Zhangsun Wuji could only bite the bullet and say,"
"Your Highness."
"After this subject returned last night, Wugou had already fallen asleep. This subject did not have the time to tell her about His Highness 'marriage proposal, and this morning, she went south with Princess Ping Yang.”
Boom!
Hearing this, Li Shiming was dumbfounded, and the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
