"Xiang Cheng greets Imperial Father. I wonder why Imperial Father has called Xiang Cheng here?”Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Princess Xiangcheng had planned to inform Qin Fang, but just as she was about to leave, Li Junxian called out to her, saying that the Emperor had summoned her.
Li Shi Min looked at Xiang Cheng and asked,""What do you think of Qin Fang?"
Xiang Cheng was stunned. His mind was filled with thoughts as he said in a low voice,"Xiang…Xiang City doesn't know..."
Li Shi Min chuckled." Just say it. Look at how nervous you were just now. How dare you say you don't know?"”
"Isn't this a little too perfunctory?”
At this time, Li Shiming had already taken off the mask of an emperor and became an old father who cared about his children.
Xiang Cheng recalled,"Young Master Qin is a free and easy, decisive, skilled in both literature and martial arts.”
Li Shiming nodded. It was already very difficult for Xiang Cheng to have such a high evaluation of him on their first meeting.
Usually, Xiang Cheng was as indifferent as a fairy who did not touch the mortal world. He did not smile and did not like to talk.
Other than a few elders, he was cold to everyone else.
Qin Fang was the first man that had piqued Xiang Cheng's interest. Moreover, he had given him a very high evaluation and was even willing to stand up for him. It was already very rare.
"By the way, Xiang City, where is Qin Fang now?”Thinking that Qin Fang might be in a worried state now, Li Shimin thought about whether he should go and see Qin Fang.
"Qin Fang is currently hidden in a residence by Liu Shaoshi, the son of the Imperial Censor Liu Hong, in case Zhang Liang is desperate.”Xiang Cheng replied.
Although he didn't know how Liu Shaoshi, the son of the Imperial Censor Liu Hong, got in touch with Qin Fang, Li Shimin was too lazy to ask about these things.
"Xiang Cheng, why don't you follow Imperial Father to visit Qin Fang now?”
"Alright, Imperial Father, your son has the same intention.”
At this moment, in Liu Shaoshi's house, Qin Fang was instructing the few of them to prepare lunch.
"Young Master Qin, I've bought the mutton you ordered.”Liu Shaoshi pointed at the mutton in his follower's hand.
"Alright, Erniu, cut the mutton into small pieces.”
"Those two lackeys, come over and skewer the mutton skewers.”
"Oh right, Liu Shaoshi, you and Rengui should gather some more wood. It would be best if it was fruit wood.”Qin Fang sat on the stool, enjoying Xiao Die's massage while instructing everyone to work.
"Alright, Young Master."
"Yes, Young Master Qin."
Everyone went to work according to Qin Fang's arrangements.
After killing a fifth-grade military officer, Qin Fang prepared lunch as if nothing had happened. Just Qin Fang's indifference alone made Liu Shaoshi admire him.
A moment later.
The mutton skewers were ready.
Xue Rengui, Er Niu, and Liu Shaoshi swallowed their saliva and were about to sit around the table.
A few guests barged in.
"Old Li, Old Wei…Why are you here?" Qin Fang said as he looked at the people walking over.
"You brat, you killed a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. We were worried for you, but you hid here and roasted mutton kebabs.”Li Er laughed. Seeing that Qin Fang was really fine, he felt much better.
Liu Shaoshi was so scared that he almost hid under the table when he saw the person who came in.
"Emperor, Duke Cheng, Duke Wei, General Yuchi, the Grand Princess of the Great Tang, Princess Xiangcheng, the Duke's daughter, Wei Qingrou, the commander of the imperial guards, Li Junxian…" This lineup was too scary.
Li Shimin saw Liu Shaoshi's nervousness. In order to avoid being exposed by Liu Shaoshi, he quickly said before Liu Shaoshi kowtowed,"Shaoshi, is your father doing well? A few years ago, I, Old Li, had a business deal that was brokered by your father.”
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Li. My father is in good health, and he misses you very much. Uncle Li, you can come to our house often in the future.”Hearing Li Shiming's words, Liu Shaoshi, who had been in society for many years, immediately understood Li Shiming's intention.
"Young Master Qin, you don't have to worry about killing Ding Wuzhao. My father asked someone to inquire about it. The Commandery Duke of Changping complained to His Majesty, but he didn't expect His Majesty to reject it.”Xiang Cheng looked at Qin Fang and said. When he mentioned his father, Xiang Cheng even looked in Li Shimin's direction a few times.
"Miss Li, so you're Old Li's daughter. I was just curious why you came together.”
"By the way, Old Li, you look so ordinary. Why do you have such a good-looking daughter?”Qin Fang turned his head to look at Li Shimin and then at Xiang City.
"F * ck, is it me, Old Li, who can't wield my saber, or is it you, Qin Fang, who's floating?”
"Qin Fang, what are you talking about? Although I'm not as handsome as you, I'm not bad either.”Li Shi Min pretended to be angry.
"Young Master Qin, you seem to be enjoying your meal. Are you really not worried at all?”Wei Qingrou watched as Qin Fang ate the skewers with relish, as if he was not worried at all.
"What is there to worry about? I, Qin Fang, am not afraid of trouble, let alone that Changping County Duke Zhang Liang.”Qin Fang said as he ate the mutton skewers.
Hearing Qin Fang say that he was not afraid of Zhang Liang, the Duke of Changping, they became curious. After all, Qin Fang was just a commoner. Even if his martial arts were unrivaled, it was the commoner who would suffer in a fight between the people and the officials.
"If His Majesty really captured you and confronted Changping County Duke Zhang Liang, what would you do?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.”
"Actually, Zhang Liang should be glad that he did not confront me in the Imperial Court. Otherwise, he would have been the one to be beheaded.”Qin Fang said slowly.
Cheng Yaojin asked in disbelief," Young Master Qin, aren't you exaggerating? You killed him, not Zhang Liang." It's already good enough that you don't suffer, but you still want Zhang Liang's head to fall to the ground?”
"I'm not bragging, but some things involve the Imperial Court, so it's best if you don't listen.”Qin Fang smiled mysteriously.
Liu Shaoshi took his two followers and left. He felt that the following words were not suitable for him to know.
Hearing that it involved the imperial court, Li Shiming's eyes immediately lit up."Qin Fang, just say it. There are no outsiders here. We're very curious. If we have a conflict with Zhang Liang one day, we can also save our lives.”
"Alright, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you. However, don't spread these words randomly.”Qin Fang said seriously.
"Changping County Duke Zhang Liang used to hang out with Li Mi and gained his trust through high intelligence.”
"Later on, Li Mi was unable to make it, and Xu Shiji surrendered to Li Shimin. Zhang Liang agreed and was also given an official position.”
"Before Xuanwu Gate, Zhang Liang was sent to Luoyang to secretly contact the aristocrats in Shandong in preparation for a possible war. However, Zhang Liang's secret operation was discovered by King Qi Li Yuanji, who directly reported the matter to Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.
Not long after, Zhang Liang was thrown into prison for interrogation, but he remained silent to avoid being exposed. Not long after, the Black Tortoise Sect's rebellion broke out. Li Shimin got rid of his rival, Li Jiancheng, and ascended the throne ahead of time. Considering that Zhang Liang was in prison but still kept the secret, Li Er granted him the title of General Youwei, Huaizhou Manager, and granted him the title of Changping County Duke.”
Li Shiming looked at Qin Fang in surprise. Many people only knew that Li Shiming had killed his brother, but they didn't know the details. How did Qin Fang know the details of the Black Tortoise Sect? Could he really know how to calculate?
"So that's how you got the title of Changping County Duke. Young Master Qin, what happened next?”Wei Qingrou urged.
"Then, Zhang Liang is actually planning a rebellion.”Qin Fang said in a low voice.
