Zongwu: More sons and more blessings, starting with Jiang Yuyan

Chapter 226
Cao Chengzhi stood alone on the ruins, holding the Yitian sword, standing proudly.

The slightly torn clothes showed the fierceness and cruelty of the previous battle.

Although there was only one person, there was a feeling of arrogance to the world, as if everything was under control, and he didn't care about the arrival of Li Shimin and others at all, which formed a sharp contrast with Li Shimin's side.

On the other hand, on Li Shimin's side, dozens of priests from the Li family followed closely behind Li Shimin. They were dressed in fine clothes and were spotless, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers behind them ready to go at any time.

But these priests who are usually high above only dare to follow behind Li Shimin, shrinking their necks, not daring to look at Cao Chengzhi, full of guilty expressions.

Obviously, everyone was extremely afraid of Cao Chengzhi and his mighty strength. Even so many people didn't have the slightest confidence.

There is no way, the earthquake that has just affected the entire city of Chang'an, the battle like a natural disaster, who is not afraid after seeing it...

Fortunately, Li Shimin saved the last face of the Li Clan. He held his head high, without any fear of Cao Chengzhi's power, looked straight at Cao Chengzhi, and led everyone to Cao Chengzhi.

I saw Li Shimin cupping his hands without being humble and said: "If Shimin did not admit his mistake, your Excellency should be Mr. Cao Chengzhi, right?"

"I didn't expect to see Second Young Master Li here."

"Young Master Cao came to my Chang'an city with honor, but the people of the world did not fulfill the friendship of the landlord. It is really wrong. The people of the world are here to apologize to Mr. Cao first!"

"Oh?"

Cao Chengzhi was a little surprised when he heard this: "If I remember correctly, you Li family should be a courtier of the Sui Dynasty, right? And I am the person with the highest reward on the most wanted list of the Sui Dynasty, and the number one rebel in the Sui Dynasty. host."

"Second Master Li is so polite to me, I'm afraid if Yang Guang finds out, it will cause him displeasure."

While speaking, Cao Chengzhi's aura spread out, and endless sword intent enveloped the audience, and the priests behind Li Shimin were all terrified.

"Mr. Cao's words are wrong,"

Li Shimin also found signs that Cao Chengzhi wanted to make a move, so he hurriedly said:
"Although you and I have different positions and are rivals on the battlefield, it doesn't prevent Mr. Cao from being a true hero."

"I am not a talented person. I like to make friends with heroes the most in my life. Your and my standpoints will not affect my appreciation for Mr. Cao. If there is a chance, I would like to become a bosom friend with Mr. Cao!"

At the same time, Li Shimin was also envious of Cao Chengzhi's strength in his heart. He is so self-willed if he has strength.

Even in this situation, it is still easy to take the initiative.

Unlike myself, who was constrained by all kinds of rules and was obviously better than his elder brother a hundred times, but he could only live in his shadow.

"Interesting, I didn't expect Second Young Master Li to be a man of temperament."

Cao Chengzhi chuckled: "I also appreciate the talent of the second young master, and I am willing to make friends with the second young master."

"So, very good!"

Hearing the words, Li Shimin finally showed a smile on his face, and getting Cao Chengzhi's approval made him much happier than what he had heard in the past.

Cao Chengzhi cupped his hands and said: "The second son is a hero in the world, and Cheng Zhi has been a friend of mine for a long time. To put it bluntly, there are only two or three people in the world today who can enter my eyes, and the second son is one of them!"

"If it wasn't for Cheng Zhi's important business, he really wanted to go to Li Fan to ask for a drink."

Li Er is still in high spirits, after all, this is the approval of Cao Chengzhi, who is now famous all over the world. After tonight, as long as Cao Chengzhi's words spread, he will definitely be famous all over the world.

At this moment, Li Er's mind was full of imaginations about a better future, and he didn't realize that Cao Chengzhi was deliberately flattering and killing him, exacerbating the conflict between him and Li Jiancheng.

Hearing Cao Chengzhi's words, even the priests around Li Shimin looked at Li Shimin in surprise, thinking in their hearts that the second son had some strengths that he didn't know about?
Many people began to secretly consider whether they should directly take refuge in Li Shimin.

Li Shimin said happily: "Master Cao is serious. If Mr. Cao does not give up, the door of our Li Clan is open to you at any time. You can just come to Shimin!"

"It's a deal, I still have important matters to deal with in Xiji Garden today, and I will definitely visit you someday!"

"Okay, the people of the world are waiting for Mr. Cao!"

Hearing Cao Chengzhi's intention of chasing away guests, Li Shimin led them away tactfully.

When everyone left Xiji Garden, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said, "Are we leaving like this? You know, there is Duke Yang's treasury in Xiji Garden!"

Li Shimin shook his head: "Duke Yang's treasury is not something we can get our hands on. Cao Chengzhi's meaning is already obvious. Duke Yang's treasury belongs to him, and he accepts a favor from our Li Clan."

"Such a result is good for you and me. Even if we don't agree, what can we do? Can we still turn against Cao Chengzhi?"

Looking at the priests around him with a little deep meaning, Li Shimin continued: "If we really want to turn against him, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of Xiji Garden alone!"

"You all felt the sword intent that he deliberately showed just now. To tell you the truth, I felt like half of my foot had stepped into the gate of hell just now!"

The priests knew that Li Shimin was dissatisfied with himself and others. When he was in danger, he and others stood behind him, and no one stepped forward to resist Cao Chengzhi's pressure for him.

The reason is wrong first, and the priests began to try their best to please Li Shimin: "The second son is right, not only the second son, but even us are out of breath!"

"That's right!"

"Extremely great!"

Seeing this, Li Shimin began to show his generosity, and decided to take the opportunity to buy people's hearts: "Stop discussing this matter. If my father asks, I will bear all the consequences of surrendering the treasure house!"

The eyes of the Li family's priests lit up when they heard the words, it's better if someone takes the blame, so that they don't have to worry about responsibility, and they all said:
"Second Young Master Gao Yi!"

"As expected of the Second Young Master!"

"Second son is a hero, no wonder even Cao Chengzhi admires him!"

The so-called enshrining, of course, they all took a fancy to the treatment of the Li family and defected to the Li family, and how many of them really thought about the Li family?
……

Seeing Li Shimin and others leave, Cao Chengzhi also put away the Yitian sword.

With a chuckle, if nothing unexpected happens, what I said about Li Shimin tonight will be famous in the world tomorrow, right?

Li Shimin will soon become well-known in the world from the ordinary second young master of the Li Clan, and his fame will spread throughout the Sui Dynasty, becoming the top leader of the Sui Dynasty.

This can be regarded as allowing Li Shimin to come to the stage ahead of time and attract people's attention.

At the same time, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Li Clan, and the Li Clan's internal struggle may be staged in advance...

For this, Cao Chengzhi decided to add fuel to the fire, and went to the Li family to visit Li Shimin another day.
