Chapter 235: Li Jing turns to Li Jiancheng
When Wang Gui returned to his home from the Eastern Palace, he heard from the manager that Li Jing was already waiting in the living room.
After drinking yesterday, when Yang Shuang and Li Jing left, Wang Gui asked them to come to the mansion at noon this day. And while in the morning, Wang Gui went to the East Palace specifically.
When he came to the living room, Wang Gui saw Li Jing, but did not see Yang Shuang.
"Mr. Wang! I'm disturbing!" Li Jing quickly got up to pay homage.
Wang Gui pretended to be unhappy: "Pharmacist, I said yesterday that we are brothers, why are you seeing each other again? If you are so polite, I will be angry."
"I'm pretentious!" Li Jing felt more and more that Wang Gui's performance was too enthusiastic, so he watched it.
Wang Gui didn't see Yang Shuang, so he asked, "Where is Yang Guo?"
"Brother Yang suffered from a cold last night and had some high fever, so he didn't come with me. I asked me to say sorry to the adults." Li Jing explained.
Wang Gui showed concern and said, "I know some doctors with excellent medical skills. Please ask them to treat Yang Guo, so that they can recover faster. I blamed me last night, because I shouldn't have pulled you two to drink so much wine."
"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with drinking last night. Brother Yang has been weak since he was a child. He forgot to close the window when he was resting last night, which made the wind and cold." After Li Jing explained, he asked curiously: "Brother Wang asked us to come today, what's wrong?"
"That's right. I'll go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the morning and recommend you to him! The Prince will lead his personal guards to lead him out of the city to hunt. Then you will follow me. Your Royal Highness wants to see your performance. Now Your Royal Highness is in the process of hiring people. You will perform well tomorrow. With your ability, you will be respected by Your Royal Highness!" Wang Gui said happily.
This time it was Li Jing's turn to be surprised!
He didn't expect that Wang Gui was so efficient. He drank yesterday and went to the East Palace to recommend the wine early this morning. Even if he introduced his own brothers, it would be the only speed.
Moreover, when Li Jing inquired, he learned that although Wang Gui's personality was elegant, he was not the kind of personality of making good friends and brothers from all over the world. It can be said that his rapid recommendation of Li Jing and Yang Shuang was unusual.
Is it because he saved his life? He repaid the grace of a drop of water as a spring?
And for Yang Shuang and Li Jing, there was no problem with this unusualness. Could it be that they were really worried about it?
Li Jing pretended to be overjoyed and thanked him: "Thank you for your recommendation from Brother Wang! If you can be valued by His Royal Highness, it will be a blessing I have cultivated for three lifetimes. I will remember this kind of gratitude in my heart."
"Don't be polite, this is just a small task. Compared with your life-saving grace, it is too light." Wang Gui finished speaking, with a little regretful expression and asked, "It's a pity that Yang Guo was stained with the cold wind. Can you still pay homage to the crown prince tomorrow?"
Li Jing said, "I'll go back and take a look. If the condition is serious and I can't meet His Royal Highness, I will only waste this opportunity."
"It's okay, I can't see you tomorrow, there will be a chance in the future."
...
After Li Jing left, he made sure that no one was following him and went to see Yang Shuang immediately.
After listening to Li Jing's story, Yang Shuang was quite surprised, and she did not expect Wang Gui to be so attentive.
"I always feel that there is something wrong with this Wang Gui. He is too enthusiastic about us!" Yang Shuang said suspiciously.
Li Jing smiled bitterly, "I feel something is wrong, but when we first arrived in Chang'an, we confirmed that our identity has not been leaked, and we have never seen him. If there is a problem, what is the problem? Did we use Wang Gui or Wang Gui use us? If Wang Gui uses us, then his performance is too enthusiastic now, so he is not afraid of us doubting him? Now it seems that he is not afraid of our doubting attitude, which makes it even more strange to reveal something that is not right."
Yang Shuang nodded and simply refused to think too much, "Maybe we are too worried. We are in the Tang Dynasty, and we observe and think about everything with a conspiracy. There is no problem or problem. Anyway, Wang Gui was not designed to be assassinated by Wang Gui, so Wang Gui will definitely investigate, so the problem will naturally not be found in us, so you can accept his kindness calmly. This opportunity is rare, so you can contact Prince Li Jiancheng, and you must not miss the opportunity and never come again! So tomorrow we will see the performance of the pharmacist."
"Don't worry, your highness, I know how to do it!" Li Jing replied.
Early the next morning, Li Jing went to Wang Gui's place, and then left the city together, waiting outside the hunting garden.
Before long, I saw a fierce army coming, led by a burly man, behind the elite imperial guards.
"Did you see the general who led the troops? That was the Eastern Palace's personal guard leading Xue Wanche!" Wang Gui took the initiative to introduce.
Li Jing looked at Xue Wanche and immediately realized that the rumors were true and that this person was extremely brave.
As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng also has confidants of powerful generals, such as Xue Wanche, Feng Li, and Xie Shufang, who are all powerful generals who stand alone.
In the last life, when the King of Qin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, his troops were defeated by Xue Wanche, and Hou Junji became even more defensive and did not dare to face it. If Li Shimin had not shown Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's heads in the end, it would have been easier to make the coup successful based on Li Shimin's troops.
This also proves the importance of capturing the thief first.
The ceremony stopped, and Wang Gui stepped forward to welcome the emperor.
Li Jiancheng walked out of the carriage, and his entourage had already arranged tables and chairs to let him sit.
"Your Highness's spirit of dragon and horse today, it seems that hunting today will surely attract great things!" Wang Gui flattered.
Li Jiancheng laughed and replied, "I feel refreshed today. It seems that good things will be fulfilled. Have you recommended someone to come?"
Wang Gui nodded, "Report to your Highness, you are already waiting on the periphery."
At the same time, report the incident that Yang Guo suddenly became infected and could not come.
Li Jiancheng waved his hand, and the close-fitting imperial guard beside him immediately went to pass the news, then searched Li Jing's body to prevent sharp blades, and then led him to approach.
When he arrived three meters away, Li Jing stopped.
"Li Jing, a sage, meet the prince!" Li Jing bowed and saluted.
Li Jiancheng looked at Li Jing and said, "Raise your head!"
Li Jing immediately looked up and looked straight at him, but there was no focal length. He didn't know where he was looking, but he was definitely not staring at Li Jiancheng.
"Not bad!" Li Jiancheng nodded. Judging from his appearance and demeanor, Li Jing was indeed extraordinary and he was obviously not a thing in the pool.
The first impression is good, and the next is the second impression.
"I heard that you saved Lord Wang?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Report to Your Highness, Cao Min happened to encounter an assassin and then took action. Even if Cao Min didn't take action, Lord Wang would have a good fortune, and there would be no trouble!" Li Jing responded.
Li Jiancheng asked again: "Mr. Wang is one of the ministers I trust and value the most. If you have made contributions to saving him, I must reward you very much! Tell me, what do you want?"
Li Jing replied bluntly: "Although Caomin comes from a poor family and has a humble status, he also has a loyalty to serve the court. Caomin dares not ask for any reward, but only hopes to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and be able to contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the future."
"Oh? Is it true? If you serve this palace, you can contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. The future lord of the Tang Dynasty will surely lead the Tang Dynasty to sweep the world invincible. Therefore, being loyal to Your Highness the Crown Prince is to serve the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Jing is not a pedantic person, and he is easy to flatter.
At this time, Li Jiancheng felt relieved because Li Jing said that he was in his heart. He was the future crown prince, and the throne must be his own.
When he was happy, Li Jiancheng said to Xue Wanche: "Old Xue, try his skills!"
Xue Wanche held his fists and took the order, spread his hands, and the surrounding imperial guards made room for the space.
"Fist or weapon?" Xue Wanche asked.
Li Jing smiled and said, "Fighting and kicking, the blade has no eyes. If you hit His Highness the Crown Prince, that villain is dead and cannot apologize!"
"Okay!" Xue Wanche nodded, his eyes became calm, and he understood that Li Jing was a master.
The two of them slowly approached, and the moment they posed their arms approached each other with their hands in a slight manner, they suddenly made a move.
Xue Wanche's boxing technique was like a cannon, shrinking and charging force and blasting out suddenly, directly attacking Li Jing's chest. The boxing technique was rapid and he reached in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Li Jing's face remained unchanged. Facing the attacking straight punch, he did not retreat and counterattack, and also used two punches to hit him.
Bang...
The two fists were head-on, making a sound of bones hitting. Then, the two fists that were in contact suddenly separated, and the attacks of the two sides confronted each other again.
Xue Wanche's fist was straight and powerful. As long as he hit a punch, he would know that it was powerful. Li Jing's fist was not inferior, and he counterattacked while resisting.
In a moment, the two fought for more than a dozen moves, but they didn't know the outcome.
Li Jiancheng praised it as "wonderful". He knew that Xue Wanche's martial arts could be comparable to him, so there was no need to doubt Li Jing's martial arts.
At this moment, the confrontation between Li Jing and Xue Wanche is still continuing.
Xue Wanche accelerated the attack and the force on the fist was also strengthening. Li Jing turned his fist into claws and stopped fighting head-on.
In terms of body shape, Xue Wanche's height and body shape are better than Li Jing, so his fists are stronger than Li Jing. If Li Jing continues to compete with him for fists, then the one who loses must be Li Jing.
But Li Jing has his own advantage, that is flexibility.
So he used his claws instead of fists, and relied on his flexible body skills to suppress Xue Wanche.
Xue Wanche also quickly noticed Li Jing's intention, but he believed in his own strength and believed that he could break all laws with one force.
The battle between the two was even more intense and anxious. When they were fighting each other, they were hard to decide the outcome.
"good!"
It was Li Jiancheng who shouted loudly, preventing the two from continuing to fight.
Li Jing and Xue Wanche immediately distanced themselves, stopped the confrontation, and then walked forward.
"Your Highness, Li Jing is very skilled in martial arts, and I admire him for his humble duties!" As the saying goes, "Don't fight, you won't know each other." After the confrontation, Xue Wanche admired Li Jing quite much.
Li Jing said humbly: "General Xue praised him, but he is the villain who admires the general."
Li Jiancheng laughed and said, "You two are half a dozen, no matter how close you are! Wang Gui recommended a master to me, which makes me feel like a tiger! OK, OK!"
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng changed the topic and asked: "Li Jing, I will test your strategy again. I asked you, the King of Qin is now in a strong position, how do you think I should stabilize my situation?"
Everyone looked at Li Jing.
