Chapter 200: Boasting of Haikou
Li Shimin waited until the Son of Heaven's chariot had left for half a quarter before he straightened up.
At this time, the eyes of the people around him were different. Most of them are doubtful, ridiculed and disapproving, and some people are puzzled, regretted, contemptuous, and all kinds of eyes.
The eldest grandson Wuji found him again for the first time.
"Virusha, you are crazy, boasting such a big sea mouth in front of the Son of Heaven? Ten rounds? Do you know what kind of characters those princes are? They have all fought more than ten battles in the Eastern Capital, and they have never been defeated! Among these people, there are always a few people who have real talents and real learning, right? How can you be so trivial. β
"I'm really sure, it's not a boast. β
Li Shimin shook his head, and his expression couldn't be more serious: "After ten rounds, it will definitely be done." β
He almost knew the strength of those three.
Even if it was on this basis, it would be doubled or tripled again, and he would not care.
And if you don't say it carefully in front of the Son of Heaven, where can you be worthy of the Creation Jade Disc and the Heavenly Inspiration Pill provided by the Heavenly Family, and what many benefits?
However, it is indeed difficult for his words to make the eldest grandson Wuji believe it.
And the eldest grandson Wuji is like this, not to mention others-
"Virtuous nephew, why are you doing this!"
The new Lord Naosai said with a sad face: "If in front of the Son of Heaven, you leave the impression that you are not ashamed and do not measure yourself, aren't you destroying your future?"
The eldest grandson, Shunde, also ran over with a solemn expression: "The Son of Heaven finally asked you to stop the war, and it is clear that you are not optimistic, why do you still have to hold on? Wouldn't it be best to push the boat down the river?"
For a few, Li Shimin really can't raise the strength to explain, but he knows that these people are either because of their friendship with him or because of their friendship with the martial arts Li family, and it is not easy to ignore them.
Fortunately, at this time, the wood was already in the boat, and there was no way to reverse it, and these people blamed it, so they could only play helplessly. At this time, everyone can only hope that the two Turkic agents can really agree to the mediation of the Son of Heaven and agree to strike the war.
It's just that it backfired, and news soon came from the Honglu Temple. The two princes of the Ashina family, as well as the Khan of the Khambi tribe, Khan Khibi He Li, all refused to give up the covenant without exception.
Yu Wenshi also ran over and conveyed the words of the three to Li Shimin without missing a word.
"Qi Bi He Li said that he didn't know you Li Yitong, it turned out to be such an arrogant person. He didn't have the heart to win with the heroes of the Central Plains, but he couldn't tolerate others being so humiliated by him. Tonight's battle, he will let you see what the real Mighty Demon Mountain is. β
"Ashina Simo has always been cold and silent, and this time he seems to have been annoyed by you. The Tao is tonight, he will not show mercy to your fanatic, I hope you can be prepared. β
"Ashinash is a smiling tiger, and his reaction is the most peaceful. He only said to the attendant who went to report that it would be within ten rounds, right? He hoped that the final result would not be the other way around. It is said that this guy also crushed his wine glass, and it seems that he is really angry. β
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed every time he heard a sentence.
Yu Wenshi and he looked happy, and his expression was very relaxed.
Li Shimin couldn't stand it, so he stretched out his hand and asked for money again: "Brother Renren, don't you think that this mere 500,000 yuan is too little? β
As far as he knows, the scale of this gambling market in the black market has risen to 60 million.
Ke Yu Wenshi looked at his friend with contempt: "You don't come! I really don't know? This time, you Li Shimin bet at least 700,000 yuan before and after! After this gamble is over, it is not certain who will make more money between you and me." Ben Shao is now just turning a blind eye. β
He then added the eldest grandson Wuji: "Auxiliary machine, it doesn't matter if our Li Yitong boasts in front of the Son of Heaven." But as long as he can win, your private money won't be wasted, so why be so depressed?"
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his expression was really a lot more relaxed, he was not optimistic that Li Shimin would win within ten rounds, but he believed that the latter would definitely win.

Despite this battle at night, Li Shimin still had to be on duty during the day. Because of today's palace banquet, the entire forbidden army of the left and right reserve mansions has been mobilized.
Chongwendu, under Li Shimin's rule, couldn't be lazy, and was assigned by the new Beishen Zhizhai to patrol a section of the city wall.
However, the above still took good care of him, and in the afternoon, he sent Sima Liancheng over to temporarily preside over the affairs of Chongwen Capital on his behalf.
This is to make him idle, recuperate and prepare for war.
Li Shimin keenly noticed this, his face seemed to be very relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "The matter between the Jade Pavilion and the Qi Palace, the Son of Heaven doesn't plan to investigate it?"
"How is it possible? Outside the city last night, we embroidered clothes guards up to Tang Yuanhua, Qi Liangchen, the two embroidered clothes don't drive, and down to a group of embroidered messengers, all of them were scolded to the point of blood! Fortunately, the prince was still protective of us, and explained a few words to His Majesty on behalf of my embroidered guards, so that His Majesty's thunder and anger were extinguished. β
Sima Liancheng sighed at first, and then his spirit perked up: "But I listened to your advice, and took the initiative to say that I was not capable enough and asked for a depreciation of the place. Father-in-law Tang said that this was a good idea and helped me transfer to Taiyuan in my original position. So today, it's my last day in the Eastern Capital,"
When Li Shimin heard this, he was also relieved on behalf of Sima Liancheng.
After that, he is bound to stir up a few more turmoil in this eastern capital. If Sima Liancheng was convicted because of this, then he would really feel uncomfortable.
If it were someone else, although he was still a little unhappy, the psychological burden was not too heavy.
After that, Sima Liancheng also cared about his appointment at night: "Are you sure about it at night? I know that your martial arts talent is far superior to ordinary people, especially in terms of understanding, which is rare in the world." But those princes are not weak. β
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but look slightly moved, thinking that he didn't even know the details of Sima Liancheng, the high-level embroidered guard?
He originally thought that he had comprehended the creation of the jade disc a few days ago, and many people in the upper echelons of the government and the opposition already knew about it. But it seems that the tone of the Yuan Gonggong, Dong Chun and others is unexpectedly tight this time.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head slightly: "But outside, what rumors are there?"
"There have always been a lot of rumors, mainly because the Son of Heaven advised you to stop, which made more people unhappy. The odds on the black market are rising again. β
Sima Liancheng's voice was a little hesitant: "And those ten rounds of words, it's too exaggerated. Many people think that you are a bombastic person who has not much real skills. β
"I see!"
Li Shimin laughed: "General Sima Lang really doesn't need to worry about me, the palace banquet in the evening will be visible." β
Then he and Sima Liancheng, led by an internal supervisor, came to a small attic. It seems that this is the place where the palace has prepared for him to rest and prepare for war.
But when he stepped in, he found that the little princess Yang Ying was also waiting inside.
Li Shimin was also numb now, and then he was sure enough, so he heard Yang Ying ask with a little worry: "Li Yitong, do you really want to defeat those three guys within ten moves?"
"I am in front of the Son of Heaven and Her Royal Highness the Queen, and I should accept this. β
Although Li Shimin felt helpless, Yang Ying's identity was different after all, and he still had to answer what he should answer.
"If the little princess asks me about my faith, it is nine out of nine, and the remaining one is due to accident. β
"But those three people, but even Dugu Kaiyuan, didn't survive fifty rounds-"
Yang Ying said this, and saw Li Shimin looking at her with a smile.
That look seemed to be asking, how can you, Yang Ying, compare your 'teacher' with a wine bag and rice bag like Dugu Kaiyuan?
She opened her mouth, but finally she didn't know what to say. In the end, they could only clap their hands, and a large number of chamberlains walked in.
These people were holding all kinds of pill bottles or all kinds of books in their hands, and they were full of all the cases in this room.
"Does the princess want me to sharpen my gun?"
Li Shimin looked at his eyes, crying and laughing: "But a person who uses a gun if it is suddenly sharpened will not be used to it." β
After he finished speaking, he said to those attendants: "These books can be left, and you can take those pills and heavenly treasures with you." β
Li Shimin was keenly aware that almost all of these books were the practice notes of his predecessors. It contains a variety of different meanings, intertwined and mixed.
- In short, it's all good!
It's just that he is an outsider, so naturally he can't call these inner servants. Yang Ying looked at him suspiciously: "But there are rumors outside, saying that Li Yi and you are really too big this time." If he can't do it, or if he simply loses, his father will be very dissatisfiedβ"
"The princess doesn't care what outsiders say. β
Li Shimin sighed, and touched Yang Ying's head a little unconventionally: "We have made an agreement, if I fail to defeat the enemy within ten he, then in the next two months, I will teach you a ten-day course." β
There was something strange in his heart, other students were eager to miss a day of class. Only the little princess in front of him longed for him to come to class every day.
"Then it's a deal!"
Yang Ying really laughed and waved her little fist: "Then I look forward to Li Yitong showing his might tonight! Teach those three guys a hard lesson! This time, I entrusted my brother-in-law, and I also bet a lot of private money in the black market, a total of more than 20,000 yuan, I have saved for a long time." β
She had a dark thought in her heart, and at this time, she hoped that Li Shimin would not be able to fulfill his promise to his father, so that she could have more time to be with Li Yi.
