At the Wei Manor.
An elegantly-decorated carriage drove over steadily.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Wei Manor, they slowly stopped. The coachman shouted,
"The King of Wei has returned to his residence!"
The guards came to the carriage and bowed respectfully.
Li Tai, dressed in luxurious clothes, got down from the carriage and smiled elegantly when he saw the guard.
"There's no need to welcome us next time.”
After saying that, he gave the coachman a string of money and turned to leave.
The coachman took the reward money and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. He grinned.
"No wonder everyone praises His Highness the King of Wei. His Highness is really kind!”
The guards could only look at the coachman with envious eyes, wishing that they could switch jobs with the coachman.
However, in retrospect, it was also a supreme honor to be able to become a guard of His Highness the King of Wei's residence!
The King of Wei was different from the other princes.
He was diligent and thrifty, never extravagant and wasteful. He was also talented, intelligent, loved literature, and was good at calligraphy.
Even the famous calligrapher Xiao Yu had praised the King of Wei.
In the court, the King of Wei was broad-minded and had won the favor and support of the ministers for the sake of the country and the people.
According to the convention, when a prince grew up, he should go to his fief and not stay in the capital area for a long time. However, the King of Wei, because of Taizong's preference, granted special permission not to go to his official position.
Towards his servants, the King of Wei was approachable and never put on the airs of a prince. He was deeply loved by the people.
It could be said that in everyone's hearts, the King of Wei was the most perfect prince!
Li Tai returned to the residence and headed straight for the Inner Hall with an expressionless face.
After entering, he slammed the door shut.
Bang!
Li Tai punched the table.
A fist mark was left on the solid wood table!
The light on the wall flickered slightly, and a secret door opened.
A luxuriously dressed middle-aged man walked out from behind the secret door.
The man was slightly plump and only had one left eye. The right eye socket was inlaid with a dazzling emerald.
"Your Highness, why are you so angry?”
The one-eyed man asked with a smile.
Although he was missing an eye, his identity was very important.
Li Jiansong!
Longxi Li Clan's Sect Master!
His martial arts were extraordinary and his name was famous!
He had fought with the Heaven Knife Sect Master Song Que for dozens of rounds and was evenly matched.
In the past, when heroes fought for the Central Plains and the Li family dominated the world, they had made outstanding military achievements.
It could be said that Tang Taizu Li Yuan had taken Chang 'an City back then.
The Li Clan of Longxi had half the credit!
If Li Tang and the Li Clan of Longxi had not fallen out, with Li Jiansong's status, he would definitely have appeared in the court openly and wielded immense power.
Li Tai's face was gloomy, and he no longer displayed his gentle and refined demeanor.
He clenched his fists tightly, making creaking sounds. His voice was low.
"Li Ke, that bastard!"
"He actually stole my credit and even deliberately reported it back to the court to show off when I returned.”
"Damn it!"
Li Tai's eyes were filled with killing intent, almost tangible. If the guards had seen this, they would have been scared out of their wits.
This was a far cry from the gentle and refined King of Wei in their eyes.
He was like a ferocious beast that would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
This was the real Li Tai!
As Li Shi Min's most beloved prince, how could Li Tai be at ease assisting Li Chengqian in ascending the throne?
He had changed a long time ago.
He didn't want to be stepped on by Li Chengqian.
He didn't want to become Li Chengqian's loyal subject.
He wanted to become the Crown Prince, he wanted to ascend the throne, he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him!
The one-eyed man chuckled." I thought it was something. Your Highness, why are you so angry over such a small matter?"”
"The King of Shu is now in Youzhou. The sky is high and the earth is far away.”
"What we need to do now is not to pay attention to the King of Shu, but to focus our attention on Crown Prince Li Chengqian!”
"Li Chengqian is the crown prince. He has Yuan Tiangang's protection in court, so we can't make a move.”
"However, he is too ambitious and wants to fight for the job in the Yin Mountains. We can take the opportunity to set him up.”
"It won't be too late to deal with the King of Shu after we deal with the Crown Prince.”
"As long as Your Highness works closely with our Longxi Li Clan, you will be the future Crown Prince of the Great Tang, and you will be the Son of Heaven!”
Li Tai's gaze turned cold, but the hatred in his eyes didn't decrease.
"No! I must take revenge!"
"Li Chengqian must die, Li Ke must die too!”
Li Jiansong sighed.
He picked up the teapot and slowly poured himself a cup of tea.
The lone eye revealed a trace of embarrassment.
"If Your Highness wants the King of Shu to die, it is not impossible.”
"I have a way to make the King of Shu disappear in front of Your Highness as soon as he returns.”
" It's just that Li Jing, who is beside the King of Shu, is not easy to deal with. If we want to touch him, I'm afraid…"
Halfway through his sentence, Li Jiansong touched his teacup and hesitated.
Seeing this, Li Tai snorted coldly and threw out a gold note.
"This is a thousand gold taels. I want the King of Shu's life!”
Li Jiansong smiled as he took the gold note.
He quietly tucked it in his arms and patted it before saying,"Your Highness the King of Wei is indeed straightforward. However, I'm afraid that this one thousand gold taels is not enough.”
"You know, the Five Families and Seven Wangs have been in turmoil recently. Yuwen Cheng is in the limelight. He destroyed the Cui family of Boling and wantonly suppressed the territories of the other five families.”
"If I want to get rid of the King of Shu, I must first ensure that I can survive. This will all depend on Your Highness.”
Li Tai frowned and asked in a deep voice,""Is Yuwen Cheng very strong?"
As the only partner of Longxi's Li Clan in their secret cooperation, he was the only one who had the power to protect the Li Clan.
Li Tai had naturally received many benefits from the Li Clan of Longxi, including the clan's martial arts.
Because of this, Li Tai knew how powerful the Li Clan of Longxi was.
But from Li Jiansong's words, Li Tai actually heard a trace of fear!
"Your Highness, you've underestimated the invincible Tianbao General," Li Jiansong said slowly.”
"Back then, when the martial world was in conflict, the Yuwen family was definitely full of talents.”
"Back then, Yuwen Huaji killed Fu Cailin's chief disciple, Fu Junhao, and became famous for a while.”
"His son, Yuwen Cheng, is even more so.”
"Besides, Yuwen Cheng isn't the only one in the Hero Palace of the Sky Mansion.”
"That Xu Zhiling and Kuo Zhong are under Fu Junyi's tutelage. Their martial arts are profound and they are known as the Twin Dragons of Yangzhou."
"The Wang Clan of Taiyuan that we are working with also has experts that are not weaker than us.”
Li Tai gritted his teeth and took out another two thousand gold notes.
"Three thousand taels, I want Li Ke's head. I want you to build a force that will be used by me, a force that can support me in defeating all my enemies and achieve great things!”
Li Jiansong cupped his fists respectfully.
"I will not disappoint Your Highness!"
