Chapter 13
"The martial world of the Great Tang is actually this exciting?”
In Li Xuan's study in the palace, he looked at the information about the martial arts world that Chang Ping had prepared for him.
This information made his eyes light up.
"The orthodox sects, demonic sects, and demonic sects are really powerful. Fortunately, the royal family can suppress the entire martial world. If the royal family is weak, the martial world will be in chaos.”
He put down the information on the martial arts world.
Li Xuan picked up Wandering Know-it-all's ranking list.
Famous Sword Ranking:
The first was the Divine Xuanyuan Sword, the second was the Benevolent Clear Sable Sword, the third was the Emperor-based Redcloud Sword, the fourth was the Mighty Taia Sword, and the fifth was the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword!
Famous Saber Ranking:
The first was the Ancient Ming Hong Saber, the second was the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, and so on!
Famous Spear Rankings.
The Prodigy Roll.
Beauty Ranking.
……
It had to be said that these rankings were quite interesting.
Rankings 50.
Top 20 on the Beauty Rankings.
15th on the Grandmaster Rankings.
Rank 10 on the grandmaster ranking.
As for the rankings of prodigies, Grandmasters, and Great Grandmasters, Li Xuan only casually understood them.
He paid more attention to the Beauty Rankings. There were no more than twenty martial arts characters on it, and the oldest was only twenty-two years old.
The youngest was only 28 years old.
It was the best age for women!
Li Xuan was a normal man. He was not interested in power and money, but towards these martial arts world beauties, Li Xuan still had a lot of thoughts. Of course, they were not dirty thoughts.
It was purely admiration!
"Chang Ping, why aren't there any descendants of the Great Tang's imperial family or the other imperial families on the rankings?”
After reading these rankings, Li Xuan asked Chang Ping beside him.
Hearing this.
Chang Ping replied respectfully,"
"Your Highness, it is the requirement of all the dynasties for the Wandering Know-it-all that the descendants of the Imperial Family do not enter the rankings. Moreover, Your Highness cannot completely believe in these so-called rankings!”
So that was the case.
After hearing Chang Ping's words, Li Xuan nodded in understanding.
As for what he said, he could not believe all of these rankings. This was something that Li Xuan had long noticed.
In the Greater World, there were always some people who hid their secrets.
He ignored Chang Ping.
Li Xuan looked at the information again. At the same time, he looked at the information about the Sword Pavilion Competition that the Tang Emperor had sent over.
He wanted to let him understand what the so-called Sword Pavilion Competition was.
……
King Qi's mansion.
Li Gang, who had received the imperial edict of the Tang Emperor.
His face was gloomy, and his eyes were burning with anger.
"Li Xuan... hid it well!”
He was really angry.
Previously, the Tang Emperor had verbally mentioned that he wanted him to prepare for the Sword Pavilion Competition. However, now, it was an imperial edict that made his previous preparations go down the drain, and it benefited Li Xuan.
It would be strange if he was satisfied.
One had to know-
The invitations to the various sects and sects, as well as the many young experts, were all sent out by Li Gang's subordinates. They had been prepared several months in advance.
Now, with the imperial edict of the Tang Emperor, Li Gang had given up all the results he could get for his efforts to Li Xuan.
He even wanted him to assist Li Xuan in completing the Sword Pavilion Competition. It was really killing him!
However, he had no choice.
This situation really made Li Gang angry.
The Tang Emperor could not be wrong.
Then, Li Gang naturally blamed this debt on Li Xuan.
This feud had been formed.
"Your Highness, King Zhao has come to visit you!”
Just as Li Gang was sulking and feeling extremely unhappy, his attendant eunuch, Wang Dong, stepped forward and said.
This Wang Dong's footsteps were steady, and the width of each step was consistent. Moreover, his steps were extremely stable, and the aura on his body was extremely deep.
He was already a grandmaster!
"Third Brother?"
Frowning, Li Gang snorted coldly,"
"Humph! What was he doing here? Do you want to see this king make a fool of himself?”
Wang Dong said,
"Replying to your highness, the king of Zhao has sent word that he is here for the Seventh Prince!”
His eyes lit up.
Li Gang pondered for a moment, then stood up and said,
"Then let's meet him! Invite him to the main hall, this king will meet Li Yu there!”
Wang Dong nodded and went down.
Not long after.
Li Gang was in the main hall of King Qi's mansion, meeting with Prince Zhao Li Yu, who was accompanied by a eunuch.
"Big Brother, how have you been?"
Seeing Li Gang arrive, Li Yu smiled."
"I wonder if big brother was very happy after receiving father's imperial edict?”
He did not even frown.
Li Gang smiled."
"Of course. As the eldest brother, I'm naturally happy to see Seventh Brother working properly! Third Brother, why did you come to visit me tonight?”
Li Gang had a very calm personality.
Therefore, his dissatisfaction did not leak out at all.
However, Li Yu was different. He was a straightforward person with a domineering personality.
Li Yu didn't waste any time talking nonsense with Li Gang. He directly said,"
"I don't think it's good for Seventh Brother to show off his abilities. We should give him some training in this Sword Pavilion competition! What does Big Brother think?"
Hearing this.
After a long silence, Li Gang said,"
"Good!"
Then, the two of them began to discuss the details.
Two hours later.
Li Yu then left King Qi's mansion.
There was only one outcome-
They would not give Li Xuan any help in the Sword Pavilion Competition. Even if there was an imperial edict, they would only obey it on the surface and go against it.
The Tang Emperor would not blame them for such a small matter. At most, it would be an insignificant punishment, but it could deal a heavy blow to Li Xuan. It could be said to be a business that made money while lying down.
Mistakes were allowed.
As long as they didn't make mistakes on the people of the Great Tang, there wouldn't be any problems!
The slightly older princes understood this very well. Therefore, the reason why the Eleventh Prince, Li Chu, was in such a miserable state before was entirely because he said something he shouldn't have said, causing public resentment!
……
The next day, near evening.
After Li Xuan had breakfast, he brought Chang Ping and a group of guards and left the palace seriously.
They were preparing to head to the imperial family's villa.
"Changping, have you sent the invitations I asked you to send this morning?”
After getting into the carriage, Li Xuan opened the curtain and asked Chang Ping,
"How many people clearly said that they would attend this prince's banquet?”
Hearing Li Xuan's question.
Chang Ping replied,"
"Your Highness, I have already sent the message to the princes and young ladies of the various dukes. No one said that they would not attend! It was just that he wasn't sure who would come…but there shouldn't be anyone who wouldn't give His Highness face!”
In the ancient world.
The news could be said to spread very slowly, but it could also spread very quickly.
It was no longer a secret that Li Xuan had started to make a lot of moves recently.
Including yesterday evening, when Li Xuan became famous with a single sword and defeated a person on the Prodigy Roll, the matter of Blooming Flowers Pavilion, those who wanted to know and those who should know also knew.
Although Li Xuan did not have the intention to compete for the position of crown prince.
However, thinking about it, there were already many people who had taken his recent actions as a sign that he was going to interfere in the fight for the position of Crown Prince.
Even an explanation would not be of any use.
Because people-
What he was best at was imagining things!
Imagination was very scary.
"Good!"
Putting down the curtain, Li Xuan said with a normal expression,
"Then let's set off!"
Chang Ping replied,
"Here!"
Riding the carriage, Li Xuan quickly headed towards the Imperial Family's villa.
About an hour later.
Li Xuan arrived at the Imperial Family's villa. Almost all the children of the princes and nobles that Li Xuan had invited had already come to the banquet.
"The Seventh Prince has arrived!"
After entering the banquet hall, Chang Ping shouted loudly.
Shua Shua Shua--
In the banquet hall, everyone who had already taken their seats stood up.
He bowed to Li Xuan who had walked into the hall and asked,
"Greetings, Seventh Highness!"
Facing the worship of so many people, Li Xuan had a gentle smile on his face.
He waved his hand casually, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I don't like too many red tape. Everyone, please take your seats!”
Everyone responded,
"Here!"
Although they agreed, everyone waited for Li Xuan to walk to the main seat and sit down before they sat down again.
Li Xuan should be late.
However, this was normal. After all, his status was higher than the others present.
After everyone was seated.
Li Xuan raised his wine glass and said his opening remarks. He drank with the guests present.
The banquet officially began.
Li Xuan's banquet did not have a theme.
Even the people who came to the banquet did not know what Li Xuan wanted to do.
However, with so many young people gathered together.
There would always be topics to talk about-
Poetry, songs, secret rumors, these could all become topics of conversation.
In terms of eating, drinking, and having fun, Li Xuan was very good at it. However, these children of noble families were not too bad either.
Especially when a man and a woman were together, there were more topics to talk about.
The Tang Dynasty was founded on martial arts, and its people were tough. The customs of the world were also relatively open. There was no rule that men and women needed to eat in two places. They only needed to eat at separate tables.
Under such circumstances, Li Xuan did not even need to worry about the silence.
The young people who were familiar with the place had already begun to chat and chat.
Only when Li Xuan opened his mouth to talk about serious matters would everyone stop.
