I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Chapter 238 Chai Shao's inner shadow is so hot!
Royal Palace.

West Inner Court.

Li Yuan's kennel.

"Shao has met my lord, my lord Sheng'an."

Chai Shao bowed a big gift very obediently, and could not find a single fault in his obedience.

"Sichang is here, sit down."

While eating watermelon, Li Yuan pointed to a seat next to him and said casually.

"Thank you sir."

"Do you want to eat melon? This melon is round and big. It's a gift from Li Mu. It's not bad."

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Mu was the only one who could get such a big watermelon. The watermelons grown by other peoples were an insult to the species of watermelon.

Chai Shao didn't dare to lose his dignity in front of the imperial court, so he didn't make a move and sat upright all the time.

Li Yuan, on the other hand, gnawed heavily, and the bright red watermelon juice stained his beard and the corners of his mouth, which was really indecent.

But who is Li Yuan, the one who dares to play with such romantic behavior, would care about such indecent behavior?
Compared to Li Yuan's unrestrained nature, Chai Shao has always been melancholy in recent years.

My wife has been dead for so many years, and I have never dared to find another one, and I am very aggrieved.

As for how much he loves Li Xiuning, I don't think so. Which ancient nobleman would accept a powerful wife, who is even a princess? Thinking about it makes me shudder.

Then it was hard for his wife to die. What the hell, his name will go down in history after his death. As a husband, he is always under pressure, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't turn over.

However, let alone wanting to make a big contribution now, it is impossible to make a small contribution.

A few years ago, they were fortunate enough to make a fortune in the grassland fights, but they really couldn't take the credit for that little credit.

Strictly speaking, in fact, it is no different from going to make soy sauce, it is a dispensable existence.

Because the big head was divided between Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin.

If there was any soup left, it was cleaned up by Li Ji and Li Daozong.

When it's his turn, they are basically those who can't show their hands.

If there is no chance to make great contributions in the future, then it is no surprise that in the future, the only thing that future generations will remember about Chai Shao is probably because he is Li Xiuning's husband.

But as a dignified general of the Great Tang Army, would he be willing?

Obviously, no.

"By the way, Sichang, what title did Erlang change to you?"

"Return to your lord, and change the title to Qiao Guogong."

"Oh."

Then there was a sudden, slightly awkward silence.

After a while, Li Yuan probably felt embarrassed himself, so he asked a question.

"You came here today, do you have something to say? If you have something to say, you might as well just say it."

Li Yuan knows very well that Chai Shao, the son-in-law, has been cautious all his life. If you don't take the initiative to push him, he will basically not take the first step by himself.

Although this son-in-law is considered to be in a high position now, but in fact he has a name for nothing. He still doesn't know what kind of bird his emperor's son is.

He guards against all those who are close to him.

Of course, this is also the reason why Chai Shao is cautious.

As for Li Yuan himself, he was not afraid. He was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water for a few years, and he was talking about him.

The second is that Li Shimin is very concerned about reputation now, especially when he is getting better and better as the emperor, he will take care of it more and more.

Before putting it aside, maybe Li Er will break the jar.

At that time, Li Yuan was really a little scared.

"grown ups."

Chai Shao hesitated a little, but stopped talking.

After hesitating for a while, he continued, "Shao has something to ask."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"My son-in-law would like to ask your lord to help with the matter."

"say what?"

Chai Shao took a deep breath, and then said, "My son-in-law wants to go to the northwest."

Li Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, he held the melon in the air and didn't move for a long time, the bright red watermelon juice was dripping on the ground.

Although he probably guessed Chai Shao's intention to go to the northwest, he still couldn't help asking.

"Why are you going to the Northwest?"

"Your Excellency also knows that there are fewer and fewer ways to make meritorious deeds. My son-in-law dare not think about the merits of Liaodong, so there is only the Tuyuhun Western Region, which may be able to get involved. Besides, this mob is in front of my majestic Tang Dynasty. It's really not worth mentioning. If I continue to waste time, I'm afraid I won't even have soup to drink. Once Tuyuhun and the Western Regions are wiped out, there will be fewer wars in a few years. So, please help me, my lord! "

After listening to it, Li Yuan looked calm, as if he didn't hear him, he still gnawed on the watermelon, the watermelon seeds in his mouth were like spitting out machine gun bullets, chug and chug non-stop.

Chai Shao looked disappointed, thinking that the father-in-law probably didn't want to help him, so he shook his head secretly, sighed deeply, and was about to find an excuse to leave, when the father-in-law suddenly said something.

"Do you know what Li Mu is doing recently?"

Chai Shao was stunned for a moment, wondering why the father-in-law suddenly mentioned Li Mu.

Since his son is now hanging out with Li Mu, his news is fairly well-informed.

So he hurriedly replied: "My lord, according to what Erlang said, Li Mu seems to be busy laying out Jiangnan recently, and has arranged many people to go to Hanyang and Jingxiang."

"Oh?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and then said, "You go and find out about Li Mu's specific actions, and I will help you talk about the Western Regions, understand?"

"I understand, I understand, my son-in-law will go and find out."

For his own future, Chai Shao is still working hard, and it is not a difficult decision to betray Li Mu when necessary.

So, Chai Shao, who had just left the palace, immediately rushed to Li Mu's mansion without stopping.

Then after entering Li Mu's mansion, after talking for more than an hour, Chai Shao already roughly knew Li Mu's actions.

By the way, a cooperation intention was reached on the spot.

Because he knew that his father-in-law was probably short of money, so he asked him to inquire about Li Mu's movements. Both are practical.

"Li Jingyang, thank you!"

Before leaving, Chai Shao kept expressing his thanks.

There are two reasons for gratitude, one is to thank Li Mu for taking care of his son, and the other is to thank Li Mu for giving him a chance to win together.

Yes, according to what Li Mu said, it is a win-win situation.

Chai Shao also felt that it was a win-win situation.

He didn't know how Li Mu invented these weird words, but they were so vivid and impeccable.

Although Chai Shao was nearly fifty years old, when facing Li Mu, he did not dare to put on airs of an elder.

Because he knew how powerful this young man was, and he really wasn't someone on the fringes who could offend him.

Although he behaved very politely, Li Mu did not underestimate him, but was always very polite and respectful to him.

You must know that the eldest grandson Wuji may not have such preferential treatment.

Of course he could see that Li Mu treated him preferentially, but he didn't know why Li Mu treated him preferentially.

After much deliberation, it is probably because his son is close to Li Mu.

But in fact, the reason why Li Mu was polite to him was actually because of his late legendary wife Li Xiuning.

I don't know if Lao Chai will faint in the toilet after knowing the truth.

After all, he wanted to get rid of the shadow of his wife all his life, but in the end he was still shrouded in shadow.
