Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 496 Let Your Sister Serve Me Well
Chu Pingsheng asked, "Which family's second son?"

Jin Anyue was puzzled: "Sir, who is the second son? Of course it is Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang."

Chu Pingsheng frowned and had to suppress the idea of ​​forging weapons. He waved to Tuan who came in from behind and said, "Tell him to wait for me in the front hall."

There is no doubt that Li Er came to see him because of the 300,000 taels of silver.

"Yes."

Tuan held up the hem of his robe and ran towards the front yard.

Jin An frowned slightly, feeling puzzled. Everyone in Jinyang City knew that Young Master Chai was pursuing Miss Xiuning. In the past, when someone from the Li family came, the young master would always want to welcome them with open arms. Why was he so indifferent today?

"Didn't you hear me telling you to work? What are you standing there for?"

"Yes, little one, let's do it right now."

Jin An quickly lowered his head, hunched over and left the study, and went to the back to find someone to move the nanmu desk, which was in a suspiciously damaged state.

After sending the man away, Chu Pingsheng sat back in his chair.

He asked Li Er to wait in the front hall not simply to intimidate the other party, because the [Great Heavenly Saint Danxin Secret Method] upgraded to the third level has an additional effect - opening the upper Dantian.

The middle dantian is given by upgrading the [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body]. He originally thought that opening a new dantian was a unique function of the demon body, but now it seems that it is not. No matter whether it is the [Mahayana Paradise Demon Body] or the [Great Heavenly Saint Danxin Magic Method], as long as skill points are allocated, it can bring additional benefits.

The lower dantian is three inches below the navel, at the location of the Guanyuan point; the middle dantian is at the Tanzhong point on the chest; and the upper dantian is at the Yintang, also known as the Niwan Palace.

When he circulated the Qi and looked inward, from the bottom to the top of the head, he indeed felt that there was a place between the eyebrows where Qi could be stored and the spirit retained.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance."

He was plotting to obtain the Shuanglong's secret of immortality, and by chance he opened his upper dantian. This way, he didn't have to worry about the secret of immortality conflicting with the true qi in the lower dantian and the middle dantian.

Since the demon body is so powerful, the art of immortality... should be practiceable.

Next, it depends on whether Shuanglong falls into the trap. If not, we will have to use force.

……

After a cup of tea.

Chu Pingsheng came to the front hall.

Li Shimin was sitting in the guest seat wearing a brocade robe. On the table to his right was a black porcelain cup with tortoise shell patterns. He looked up hastily when he heard footsteps. Seeing that it was him, his squinting eyes suddenly brightened, and a smile broke out on his face, which was tense because of waiting.

"Brother Shimin, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Where, where."

"sit."

Chu Pingsheng politely asked him to sit down.

Instead of being displeased, Li Shimin frowned, because the more polite Chai Shao behaved, the more distant he seemed.

"Brother Shimin has always been busy with military affairs. How come you have time to visit the Chai Mansion today?"

"Chai Shao." Li Shimin didn't want to beat around the bush on this matter, so he stood up and said, "But did Xiuning offend you in any way?"

"No."

"So you have something against our Li family?"

"Can't talk about it."

"Then I don't understand. Since Xiuning didn't offend you and you have no problem with the Li family, why did you say those things?"

"Huh?" Chu Pingsheng looked puzzled: "What did you say?"

"Of course I'm going to use three hundred thousand taels of silver to exchange for the Immortality Secret."

"This is my proposal to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. What does it have to do with your Li family?"

Li Shimin showed displeasure and said, "Chai Shao, you should be able to see that Kou Zhong is interested in Xiuning. What you are doing is no different from taking advantage of someone's misfortune and using Xiuning to make a deal." "Hahaha, hahaha..."

Chu Pingsheng held the armrests of the chair with both hands, raised his head slightly, and smiled, his laughter full of contempt.

"Li Shimin, do you dare to say that you asked Li Xiuning to meet with me to discuss something without intending to use her?"

"..."

"Your Li family needs these three hundred thousand taels of silver, and I want the secret of immortality, and Kou Zhong is bent on pursuing Li Xiuning. This is just a transaction, a business. What's the point of talking about exploitation or taking advantage of others? Li Shimin, what else can you do except hypocritically blackmailing others with morality?"

Li Shimin was furious, but on the surface he remained calm.

"Chai Shao, what do you want the Changsheng Jue for? I heard that Taoist Shilong died because he went astray while practicing the Changsheng Jue. Even the young master of Duoqing Villa was unable to practice the Changsheng Jue after borrowing it. Xiuning said that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were able to activate the golden armor and practice the Changsheng Jue because of their special physiques. You are already in your twenties, and you are past the best age to practice martial arts. There is a saying that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. The Changsheng Jue in your hands will only bring disaster."

This was said quite nicely, secretly mocking Chu Pingsheng for his poor aptitude and lack of self-awareness, while at the same time he acted like a gentleman who was saying, "This is all for your own good."

"On one hand, there is the temptation of the founding heroes after the Li family gained control of the country, and on the other hand, there is the earnest persuasion. Li Shimin, the future capitalists' method of making empty promises must have been learned from you."

The startup team, right? The original shares, right?

Chu Pingsheng smiled coldly. He had eaten a lot of cakes from his boss after graduating from university. Now he came to ancient times and was still fed cakes.

"I am a pragmatic person. Now there are Du Fuwei and Li Mi in the east, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande in the north. The Yuwen and Dugu factions in the court are both disloyal, and Wang Shichong is not a good person either. Although your Li faction is strong in military and horses, it is not necessarily able to sweep across the world and unify the world. Moreover, the Song family in Lingnan has always regarded you as Xianbei barbarians, and will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Li family expand. So you want to take away my 300,000 taels of silver with real money just by drawing a pie in the sky, Li Shimin, are you here to make fun of me?"

Li Shimin frowned, not understanding what was going on.

Chai Shao is Li Xiuning's bootlicker, and everyone in Jinyang City knows it. Yesterday, Li Xiuning said "I have something to discuss with you", and this kid, in order to have a wonderful date, ran to Chengping Lake overnight and asked the fisherman who was rowing a boat to teach him how to row a boat. Now, in less than a day, why did his attitude towards their brother and sister take a 180-degree turn and become so unfriendly?

"In your opinion, how should our Li family show our sincerity?"

"It's okay if you don't want the Longevity Secret, then let Li Xiuning accompany me for one night."

Snapped!
Li Shimin slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up, his eyes blazing with anger, and glared at everyone. The teacup next to him was shaken by him, splashing a lot of tea.

"Chai Shao, you are going too far!"

"I am bullying your uncle." Chu Pingsheng walked over and held up the teacup. His hand loosened and the porcelain cup broke into pieces, and the hot tea flew everywhere. Li Shimin was so frightened that he stepped back and almost knocked over the chair.

Jin An, who was standing outside the hall, heard the noise and worried about what might happen, so he quickly walked into the front hall: "Sir, what's going on..."

Halfway through his words, he didn't dare to ask anymore and hurriedly bent down to pick up the porcelain pieces that had fallen on the ground.

"Don't rush to clean up yet." Chu Pingsheng stopped his work: "Jin'an, go to the street now and tell the neighbors that the second son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, came to the Chai family to ask for money. I didn't answer, so he broke the cup."

"Son..."

Jin An shuddered, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Everyone in the Chai residence knew what Chai Shao usually did. How could he have a conflict with Li Yuan's second son now?

You have to know that Jinyang City is Li Yuan's base camp. He has strong soldiers and horses, and his black-armored cavalry is feared by the world. If they really want to fall out, the private army of the Chai family is no match for the Li family at all, not to mention the people in the city. Everyone knows that the young master of the Chai family is in love with Li Xiuning. Wouldn't the relationship between the two be broken?

"Just do what I told you to do, why are you so long-winded?"

Seeing that his master was really angry, Jin An did not dare to neglect it. He held the picked up porcelain pieces in his hand, raised his sleeves, and ran outside with sweat on his forehead.

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "Chai Shao, what do you mean?"

"It's simple. Let the people of Jinyang City see the excitement. Imagine what you, the Li family, would do if you couldn't get the money? Would you send troops to besiege my Chai Mansion and rob it directly? Or would you use the body of the Third Miss of the Li family to exchange it."

"Before, Yuzhi said that you were a despicable person, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that you are really good at taking advantage of others."

"If I don't give you money, I'm taking advantage of you. What the hell! Aren't you Li brothers and sisters willing to sacrifice everything for the benefit of your family? Now you're angry because I asked her to spend a night with me? Do you know what 300,000 taels means? I can keep all the girls in Zuihonglou in Jiangdu City for a year."

"You compare Xiuning with them?"

Li Shimin could hardly control his emotions, his eyes were terribly cold.

"What's the difference? They don't steal or rob, they sell their bodies for a better life. Your sister said she would sacrifice everything so that your father could sit on the throne and wear the dragon robe. If she sacrifices everything, doesn't that mean she can sacrifice her body? I'm a businessman. You just happen to have a need, and I just happen to have an idea. We trade fairly and don't cheat anyone. Is there a problem?"
