Start with ten times the talent of Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 273
Meng Xiuyuan bid farewell to Shan Wanjing, and there were many doubts in his mind that now had answers.

Therefore, he stopped wandering around in Luoyang City, and planned to go back to the Giant Kun first, and let Yun Yuzhen take him to Li Shimin's invitation.

Unexpectedly, just as he traveled along Luoshui River to the vicinity of the pier, under the giant kun, he actually met another unexpected acquaintance and old friend.

"Young Master Meng!"

Li Jing strode forward to meet him, his face was full of joy and excitement.

"Brother Li, why are you here?"

Meng Xiuyuan took a closer look, but saw that Li Jing was imposing, with piercing eyes, obviously both his demeanor and martial arts had improved a lot compared to the last time we parted.

"Haha, there's no need to talk about it, I'm waiting for you, Mr. Meng.

The leader of the cloud sent a message saying that the young master has arrived, how could I not come to greet him. "

Not seeing each other for two years, Li Jing didn't feel unfamiliar with Meng Xiuyuan at all, he just smiled heartily, and then dragged him to the south city of Luoyang:

"Young Master Meng, let's talk while walking.

The banquet in the Dong Family Restaurant has been set up since early this morning..."

Meng Xiuyuan's mind was moved when he heard the words, and as Li Jing strode forward, he couldn't help asking:
"Judging from Brother Li's tone, should he be under the Li Clan's command now?"

Li Jing smiled calmly, nodded, and explained to Meng Xiuyuan:

"That's right, since the last time I said goodbye to my son, I went north with Brother Zhang Yong and Miss Susu.

The two of them stayed in the army of Wagang Village in Xingyang, while I went to Luoyang first, and then entered Guanzhong. "

"King Qin?" Meng Xiuyuan was a little surprised.

"Yes, sir, don't you know.

In Chang'an City last year, Yang You had abdicated the throne to His Majesty.

Your Majesty changed the name of the country to Tang, established Yuan Wude, made the lord Shangshu Ling, Youwuhou General, entered Qin King, and granted Yongzhou Shepherd..."

Li Jing's series of words made Meng Xiuyuan shake his head involuntarily.

For the past two years, he has spent most of his time practicing martial arts. Even after he left the customs, he was always fighting with demons, but he hadn't learned about the general trend of the world.

He had never heard of Li Yuan proclaiming himself emperor.

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan's expression, Li Jing smiled slightly and said:

"It's normal for a sincere warrior like Mr. Meng not to care about the currents of the world.

Anyway, we are just chatting along the way, if Young Master is interested, I will talk to you..."

So on the way to the Dong's restaurant, Li Jing briefly told Meng Xiuyuan about the development of the Li Clan in the past two years.

It turned out that the last time Pengcheng left, Li Shimin, with the help of the Dongming faction, persuaded Li Yuan to officially announce the uprising in Jinyang.

Afterwards, the Li Clan's wars went smoothly. First they captured Xihe County, and then sent troops to Chang'an. All the way they defeated Song Laosheng in Huoyi, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, and opened Yongfeng warehouse to help the people.

Now, Li Shimin has defeated Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao, and has taken most of Guanzhong into his hands for the Li Clan. He can attack and defend when he advances.

Meng Xiuyuan nodded when he heard the sound. Although he was not familiar with many specific names of people and places mentioned in Li Jing's words, he did understand the meaning.

Obviously, the Li Clan has already occupied a rather favorable position in the world's competition.

While talking, the two had arrived at the entrance of the most famous Dong's restaurant in Luoyang. Meng Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly and he stopped in his tracks.

"Mr. Meng, what's the matter?" Li Jing, who was leading the way, heard Meng Xiuyuan stop, and hurriedly turned his head to ask.

"It's nothing, I just felt an acquaintance..."

Meng Xiuyuan looked up at Dong's Restaurant, then shook his head without explaining in detail.

……

The banquet set by Li Shimin was located in the south hall with the most elegant and luxurious furnishings and the best location in Dong's restaurant. Looking down from the hall, one can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Luo River.

And it seemed that because of knowing Meng Xiuyuan's character, there were no dancers or musicians in the huge hall to bother him at all.

When Meng Xiuyuan opened the door and entered, Li Shimin was the only one sitting at the table, lowering his head and busy arranging the dishes on the table.

"Brother Meng, you are finally here!
Haha, my time is right.

Please take a seat quickly, wait a little longer, the food and drink will probably be cold..."

Li Shimin looked up and saw Meng Xiuyuan, his eyes were full of joy, he hurriedly got up and greeted the door, and then he familiarly pulled Meng Xiuyuan to the table.

Meng Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and said "Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for a long time", and then he was not polite to Li Shimin, and sat down at the table.

During the banquet, Li Shimin, Meng Xiuyuan, and Li Jing exchanged cups and chatted about the past two years without seeing each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and natural.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when the wine was full, that Meng Xiuyuan suddenly asked without concealing:
"Mr. Li, what is your purpose in calling me to Luoyang? Please tell me directly."

Seeing Meng Xiuyuan like this, Li Shimin smiled heartily and said:

"Haha, Brother Meng is Brother Meng, it really is so refreshing.

Well, let's get down to business. "

While speaking, Li Shimin raised his wine glass, Meng Xiuyuan bowed his head and saluted, and then solemnly said:
"I invited Brother Meng to Luoyang for two things.

One is to thank brother Meng for his help in Pengcheng two years ago.

At that time, my father was hesitant and almost missed the best time to start an incident.

Fortunately, a young master ordered the Dongming faction to persuade him, so he didn't miss a big deal.

It can be said that my Li family has the momentum it has today, and it is absolutely inseparable from what Brother Meng said that day.

I know Brother Meng doesn't like vulgar things, so I can only show my gratitude temporarily..."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Li Jing immediately took out a thin book from his bosom, handed it to Meng Xiuyuan, and explained at the same time:
"This was found in the old Sui imperial palace in Chang'an. Although Mr. Meng's martial arts may not be useful, it can broaden his horizons to some extent."

After opening it, I saw that it was actually a catalog, which described dozens of famous martial arts in the world. Although it is not as direct as the four great books that directly point to the shattered void, each has its merits.

Meng Xiuyuan bowed his hands to express his thanks, and put the booklet in his arms without refusing to refute Li Shimin's face.

Li Shimin was quite pleased when he saw this, and then said frankly:
"The situation in today's world is complicated, and many sects and masters who were originally hidden in the world have entered the game.

Although I, Li Shimin, am not afraid of any enemies on the battlefield, I have to guard against these secret infiltrations.

Therefore, the so-called second thing, Shimin actually wanted to ask Brother Meng to help me.

I have to have a friend like Brother Meng, who is superb in martial arts and has the courage to lend a helping hand, so that I can relax and devote all my energy to fighting against the heroes of the world..."

Hearing this, Meng Xiuyuan didn't agree to him immediately, but asked in reverse:
"Mr. Li's words, do you want to recruit me, let me join you like Brother Li?"

Li Shimin laughed, drank the wine in the glass, and said to Meng Xiuyuan heartily:
"Brother Meng, who do you think I am?
On the boat in Pengcheng two years ago, I told Brother Meng that I, Li Shimin, really wanted to make friends with you.

Since we are friends, there is only friendship between us, and there will be no difference between upper and lower.

It was so then, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.

Brother Meng is willing to help me, I am grateful for Brother Meng's kindness.

Brother Meng's reluctance will not hinder my respect for Brother Meng..."

Meng Xiuyuan took a closer look, and saw that Li Shimin's face was full of sincerity, not like hypocrisy and lying, so he couldn't help but smiled and said:

"Young Master Li treats me sincerely, and I will not tell lies.

In fact, you don't need to ask me for help, you already have the ability to deal with those top experts. "

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was a little surprised when he heard the words. He knew that Meng Xiuyuan would not be joking at this time, but he really couldn't figure out where Meng Xiuyuan's words came from.

Meng Xiuyuan immediately asked Li Shimin:
"Master Li, before I came, someone visited you, right?"

Li Shimin nodded and said calmly:
"There was indeed a strange man named 'Qin Chuan' who didn't want to show up, and asked me many in-depth questions through the door.

It's just that he knows a lot about me, and he squeezed me with words, forcing me to answer..."

"But before I went upstairs, she left suddenly?" Meng Xiuyuan continued to ask.

"Exactly... how did Brother Meng know such details? But he is familiar with that person?" When Li Shimin asked back, he had vaguely guessed the answer in his heart.

"That's right, although we haven't met each other, we both noticed each other..."

Speaking of this, Meng Xiuyuan stopped making rounds and immediately explained:
"That's not 'Qin Chuan', but Shi Feixuan, the contemporary descendant of Cihang Jingzhai.

She came to you anonymously, presumably as a test, to see if you are a wise master worthy of assistance..."

Li Shimin's complexion changed slightly and his eyes flickered when he heard the sound.After a while, he suddenly asked Meng Xiuyuan:
"Brother Meng, I heard between the lines of your words, it seems that you have some conflicts with this young lady?
Didn't it say that Cihang Jingzhai is the leader of righteousness in the world, how could he offend brother Meng.

But among them, is there any entanglement that I don't know about? "

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head, and said to Li Shimin:
"It's not that there are any conflicts and entanglements, it's just that they have different ideas.

What those people behind her have done, even though they haven't touched my bottom line yet, have made me very uncomfortable...

Different ways do not conspire with each other, Shi Feixuan should also understand my thoughts, so she deliberately avoids me. "

At this point, Meng Xiuyuan's voice paused, and he said calmly to Li Shimin:

"If my guess is correct, in this city of Luoyang, there shouldn't be anyone more suitable for Cihang Jingzhai than you.

Concubine Shixuan scouted around, and in the end she would choose to assist you and help you win the world.

That's why I said, you don't need to ask me for help, Mr. Li is already capable of dealing with those top experts..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but fell silent for a moment, lowered his head slightly, his eyes were complicated and abnormal.

But the silence didn't last long, he looked at Meng Xiuyuan again, and asked sincerely:
"Brother Meng said that he and Cihang Jingzhai have a difference in philosophy. I don't know, what is Brother Meng's philosophy?"

Meng Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then said seriously:
“I can’t say that the concept is so big, it’s just a little idea.

In my opinion, the affairs of the Jianghu belong to the Jianghu, the affairs of the court belong to the court, and the affairs of the sect belong to the sect.

I can't understand some people, for their own victory or defeat, they get involved in power politics, stirring up people all over the world to suffer with them.

I also don't want to see those people who already have a heavy burden have an extra mountain on their heads.

This is true of Buddhism, and so is the magic gate. "
