Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 73 Night Banquet (2)

"Seventh brother, you came at the right time, ha, brother has come up with a clever trick, let's see what the seventh brother can do this time?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Xian raised his head from the chessboard. Li Xian turned back, smiled involuntarily, waved his hand, pointed at the chessboard proudly, and said something with great interest, without asking at all what Li Xian and Wu Youning negotiated. Obviously, in his In his eyes, Wu Youning was just a passer-by, not worth mentioning at all.

The ignorant are always fearless, hey, this guy's self-centered temperament may not be changed in this life.Seeing Li Xian's excitement, even though Li Xian has long been familiar with his personality, he couldn't help but slander in his heart, but his face still had an incomparably bright smile on his face, and he walked a few steps in a few strides. Before him, he knelt and sat, picked up a sunspot from the chess box, glanced at the board, and clicked on the key point of the chess game almost without thinking.

"Oh, the seventh brother's chess move is fierce, do you want to kill the fish and break the net?" Seeing Li Xian's chess piece landed on a strategic point, Li Xian couldn't help but gasped, and muttered resentfully.

"Brother Six, my cousin sent an invitation card, saying that he wants to invite you and my brother to a banquet tomorrow night." Li Xian did not answer Li Xian's question, but smiled and explained Wu Youning's intentions.

"No." Li Xian was very straightforward, and replied two words without raising his head.

"Well, I'm afraid it's not good. Father and mother have gone. If you and my brothers don't go, people may gossip." Li Xian showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head, and explained.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Xian raised his head in doubt, frowned slightly, looked at Li Xian, and said softly, but he didn't express his position in a hurry, and Li Xian didn't urge him either. He just reached out and took out two invitation cards from his sleeve, and placed them on the table.

"Well, since you can't avoid it, let's go and experience it." Li Xian picked up both copies, flipped through them casually, shook his head indifferently, and let out a displeased voice.

"That's good, my little brother will ask someone to prepare some gifts, and I'll send them here. It's yours and my brother's." Li Xian smiled, and called Gao Miao, who was at the side, to his side, and said in a low voice. After giving some instructions, Gao Miao led a group of people to wait for him to prepare presents.

"These mediocre people are very good at flattering horses, but they have no serious ability at all. Seventh brother, look at this invitation card, which is bronzing with gold and silver, it is very luxurious. I don't know how many people's hearts are in it. Hmph, you are shameless!" Li Although Xian did not refuse Li Xian's kindness to help him prepare gifts, and planned to go to tomorrow's banquet, but the resentment towards the Wu family members in his heart did not abate because of this, he threw the bronzing invitation card in his hand on the table casually, without any hesitation. He scolded unceremoniously.

"What Sixth Brother said is that the current situation is worrying. If you don't change your mind, there will be disasters in the future. That's all, it's too early to say. When Sixth Brother Qingyun is on the rise, it's not too late to think about it." Li Xian III is a man. , the various disadvantages of Datang are much clearer than Li Xian, and he also has endless emotions in his heart, but Li Xian is very clear that these things cannot be rushed, and it is impossible to change the status quo by complaining. Seeing Li Xian's unhappy face, he smiled and said a few words of relief.

"Well, let's not talk about this, come on, let's continue playing chess, brother must win this game today!" Li Xian is a little arrogant, but he still knows the priority of the matter. After complaining, he also I don't want to talk more about the Wu family, so this brings the topic back to the chessboard.

"Sixth brother has such ambitions, and younger brother will definitely accompany him to the end, but..." Li Xian stopped in the middle of his words, as if hesitating to speak.

"Huh?" Li Xian couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Xian's words. He waited for a while, but he didn't see Li Xian continue to speak. With a half-smile on his face, Li Xian suddenly came to his senses, waved his hands at the crowd waiting in the hall, and snorted coldly: "You all stand down!"

"promise."

Li Xian was dignified by nature, since he gave the order, the group of people did not dare to neglect, they all bowed their promises, and all left the hall, only the two young brothers were left sitting opposite each other in the empty hall.

"Seventh brother, it's quiet here, so just say what you have to say, I'm really impatient to guess riddles." Li Xian's temper was rather impatient, and after everyone in the hall retreated, he started to question impatiently. .

Li Xian was not in a hurry to say anything, but just smiled lightly and said: "Sixth brother, there is something I have doubted for a long time, and it is hard to explain it to my heart, please enlighten me."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Xian really couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Li Xian's gourd, so he couldn't help but frown, and waved his hands in displeasure.

"Sixth brother, can Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun win the favor of the queen mother?" Li Xian looked serious and said slowly.

"This..." Li Xian obviously didn't expect that Li Xian would ask such a "insignificant" question. When the clues came to light, doubts filled his heart and eyes for a moment, but he didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only reply impatiently: "My mother has never liked these two people. If it weren't for this, how could they all be sent to other places to pay for their favor?" Officer, although my brother doesn't know the details of the inside, but I can still see some points from the sidelines, why, does the seventh brother think that there is something strange about tomorrow's banquet?"

"Well, there is something strange!"

These days, Li Xian has been thinking about how to deal with Empress Wu's murderous intentions. However, there is no one under his command. Even if there are thousands of schemes, it will be futile. Now that the matter is approaching, Li Xian has to reveal some clues in advance. Can Yinna help me?

"What? Are the two martial artists trying to create chaos? How is this possible?" Li Xian couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that, his eyes widened, and he questioned in astonishment.

"Sixth brother misunderstood, it's not that the second martial artist has the guts to act like a thief, but someone wants to take advantage of the banquet to blame him!" Li Xian replied calmly.

"This. Seventh brother means..." Li Xian is not an idiot, and he has naturally noticed the ambiguous situation in the palace. Hearing Li Xian's obvious hint at this time, he has vaguely touched the edge of the truth. Surprised, the person suddenly stood up, pointed in the direction of the main hall of the palace, hissed and couldn't speak a complete sentence, the expression of shock and anger was beyond words.

"Hmm." Li Xian didn't explain much, but nodded emphatically.

"This, this, this is impossible, I don't believe it!" After all, Li Xian is not a ruthless person, so he can't believe that there are such ruthless people in the world, even if Li Xian's expression is so sure, Li Xian Yin is still not sure what happened.

Do not believe?Hey, you don't believe me. In your previous life, you never believed that that woman would be so ruthless until you died, but what happened?You are old and dead for nothing!Li Xian knew Li Xian's character well. He knew that although his temper was not very good, his nature was upright, he would scream when he was unfair, and although he had talent, he lacked opportunity, he was neither thick-skinned nor dark-hearted enough. If he were the emperor of Taiping, he could be called Mingjun. Unfortunately, he met Empress Wu who was so ruthless. If there is no accident, Li Xian is just a stepping stone for Empress Wu to become a great treasure.

"Sixth brother, have you ever heard the rumors in the palace that once the father returns to the capital, he will appoint Mrs. Wei Guo as Wei Guifei." Since Li Xian decided to seek Li Xian's help, he would not hide too much about himself Of course, Li Xian would never talk about personal secrets.

"That's right, I've heard about it, brother, but so what?" Li Xian asked back and forth anxiously as he paced back and forth in the hall with an extremely gloomy expression.

"That's where the strangeness comes from. Brother Six, do you still remember how Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu died?" Li Xian sneered.

"Ah, this..."

When Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu died, Li Xian was still young, so he had never seen it with his own eyes, but he had heard many people talk about the tragic death of the two. When he thought of the so-called "bone drunk", Li Xian couldn't help it The ground trembled, and the frightened look flashed across his eyes.

"Sixth brother, the Helan family is so proud of favor and seduces the emperor with its beauty, which is already a big taboo for the queen mother. How can there be a way to survive? The reason why it is not eliminated is just that the time has not come. Now, that Now that the second martial artist has arrived, the culprit is already there, it's time to act, hey, do you still remember the scene in the Hall of Renxin when the former brother and the sixth brother returned to the capital?" Li Xian was not terrified by Li Xian And silent, but continue to analyze while the iron is hot.

"Hall of Renxin? Seventh Brother means..."

As soon as Li Xian mentioned the Hall of Renxin, Li Xian's eyes flickered immediately, his face was covered with haze, he gritted his teeth and thought about it, and asked half of the question uncertainly.

"Even if the little brother didn't say anything, the sixth brother must have already guessed it. Yes, if you and my brother have a slight conflict with the Helan family at this time, then there is no need for Erwu to come here to top the vat." Li Xian smiled coldly and turned The conclusion in my heart was revealed without any concealment.

"Top tank? Top tank! What a top tank!" Li Xian was extremely intelligent in nature, and he understood the crux of the matter as soon as he heard what Li Xian said, his face darkened in an instant, his teeth were clenched, The face twitched non-stop, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, obviously the resentment and anger in his heart had gathered to the brink of explosion.

"What is Seventh Brother going to do?" Li Xian paced frantically back and forth in the hall like a raging lion, without saying a word for a long time, then suddenly stood on his feet after a while, and asked with a resolute expression on his face. .

How to do?Li Xian has thought about this question many times in the past few days. He has thought of countless ways, but none of them can be foolproof. Moreover, Li Xian dare not be 100% sure that Empress Wu will definitely be at this banquet It is almost impossible to make a move, let alone determine the means of Empress Wu. It is almost impossible to come up with an excellent plan. Li Xian, who had already made up his mind, fell into silent thinking instead of his previous enthusiasm.
