Dan Qingzi said: "This is a smart person. ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "The second prince has a noble status, and Li Yuan is really flattered to be able to deign to come to Li Yuan! Li Yuan can be appreciated by the second prince, and if possible in the future, I will definitely try my best to help the second prince refine the elixir that removes erysipelas." ”

The second prince Xia Xuan said: "After that, Xia Xuan will be Li Gongzi's friend, and Xia Xuan will climb high." ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Where did the second prince say! Li Yuan can climb the second prince to be a friend, Li Yuan is flattered!"

Li Yuan and the second prince talked for a while, and the second prince took out a nameplate and said: "This is my brand, as long as you hold my brand, in this imperial city, there are many places and many people, and they will sell my face." With this sign, it will be easier for you to do things. ”

Li Yuan took the sign and thanked him repeatedly.

The second prince stood up and said, "Li Gongzi's time is precious, so I won't bother Li Gongzi too much." When I have time, Li Gongzi will often come to the palace to see me, and after Li Gongzi settles down, I will go to see Li Gongzi. My father asked us to practice diligently, and Xia Xuan didn't dare to disobey my father's order, so I went back to practice. ”

Xia Xuan said goodbye to Li Yuan and left with those few people.

Dan Qingzi said: "This summer, he is also sensible, and his talent is not bad, although the cultivation of the ninth level of the Martial King is piled up with pills, but as long as there is a third-level Washing Sutra Cutting Pill, he can change the foundation of his body, improve his potential, and remove erysipelas from his body." You're just coming to the Imperial City, and you need someone to help you with something. If he is covered, it will be much easier to do things. Although this emperor Xia Mingjun is also very good to you, he is the emperor after all, and you can't see him at any time and ask him to help you do things. ”

The afternoon passed quickly, Li Yuan was sitting in the room practicing, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside, Li Yuan opened the door and saw that it was Xia Wu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

He said: "Gongzi Li, I am under the order of Your Majesty, please go to the Qinzheng Palace, Your Majesty is waiting for you there, accompany you to the Banquet Palace!"

Li Yuan agreed, and went to the Qinzheng Hall with Xia Wu. When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, he saw Emperor Xia Mingjun waiting for him there. When Xia Mingjun saw Li Yuan coming, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall, go over early, and when the people who go to the banquet come, I will introduce you to who these people are, and you can get to know each other."

Li Yuan agreed, and followed Xia Mingjun to the Banquet Hall.

When he arrived at the Banquet Hall, Li Yuan found that there were not many people inside.

The first thing Li Yuan saw was Zhao Tiejun. Emperor Xia Mingjun ordered Zhao Tiejun to come over early. Zhao Tiejun was originally stabilizing his martial king cultivation, but because today, one of the protagonists of this banquet is Zhao Tiejun, Emperor Xia Mingjun didn't want others to know the real cause of Chen Tianying's death, and he didn't want others to know that Chen Tianying actually died in Li Yuan's formation and under the bow and arrow, so the credit for killing Chen Tianying mainly fell on Zhao Tiejun's head. Therefore, in this celebration banquet, Zhao Tiejun became the protagonist.

Zhao Tiejun saw the emperor and Li Yuan coming, and hurriedly came over to salute: "Zhao Tiejun has seen Your Majesty, I have seen Li Gongzi!" Emperor Xia Mingjun waved his hand and asked Zhao Tiejun to exempt him, and Li Yuan hurriedly returned the salute: "Li Yuan has seen General Zhao and congratulated General Zhao on his promotion to King Wu." ”

In the banquet hall, the rest of the people were all subordinates of the palace, they were busy setting up tables and chairs under the command of a steward, and when they saw Emperor Xia Mingjun coming, they all hurriedly gave salutes, and then withdrew from the banquet hall.

Today, the seats in the Hall of Feast are laid out like this:

In front of the main hall, there are three tables, this is the chairman's seat, the first seat in the middle, the second seat on the left, and the third seat on the right. The rest of the seats are companion seats, which are opposite to the chair, and the person who sits with the seat faces the person who holds the chair.

Xia Mingjun sat down at the first seat in the Banquet Hall, and then asked Li Yuan to sit on his left and Zhao Tiejun to sit on his right. The trio sat down and waited for the invited guests to arrive.

Originally, at a banquet like this, the emperor was usually the last to arrive. But today, in order to give Li Yuan an acquaintance with these main figures in the imperial city, Xia Mingjun made an exception and came early, which can be regarded as giving Li Yuan and Zhao Tiejun enough face.

Zhao Tiejun was grateful in his heart, so he respected Xia Mingjun even more, and Li Yuan was also grateful in his heart.

After a while, a guard shouted outside: "The second prince has arrived." Then he saw the second prince striding in, and after a salute, the second prince sat down on the seat with his name on it.

After a while, I heard the guards outside shouting again: "The eldest prince has arrived." ”

The eldest prince is angry today.

A child from a distant and remote place, from a humble background and low cultivation, as a prince, personally sent someone to invite him, but this Li Yuan was so ignorant that he actually refused his invitation, what kind of thing is this? How can there be such a person? There are many people who are willing to be their followers, and they can't look down on a casual person. The people who can be their followers are either people from various big families and big forces, with noble status, or they are talented and have great potential. This Li Yuan can only refine some pills, if he doesn't know how to refine pills, he may not even look at him. And now he actually rejected himself!

When Deng Guangji came back and reported to him that the invitation to Li Yuan was refused, the eldest prince was very angry, and he ordered someone to inform Cao Shaoben of the Cao family and call that Cao Tao over for questioning.

After Cao Shaoben and Cao Tao arrived, the eldest prince asked Cao Tao about Li Yuan's situation. Cao Tao said to the eldest prince: "This Li Yuan is a junior boy of the Li family in the mountain city. The ancestor of the Li family was a martial artist of the third level of martial arts. Because he was poisoned by a snake in the Tianduan Mountain Range, he has been recuperating at home for several years. The people of the Li family are all cowardly, incompetent, cowardly and fearful people, and they dare not speak up when they are bullied. Many people look down on the people of the Li family, this Li Yuan only opened up two meridians when I left the mountain city, he is a person at the level of martial apprentices, his cultivation is low, his talent is extremely low, and he has no potential for martial arts.

After I left Deyama Castle, I heard that he also left Deyama Castle and went to the county seat. I don't know why, he suddenly knew how to do alchemy.

After he arrived in the county seat, he wantonly used pills to buy people's hearts, and Lin Yinghao, the city lord of Nanyue County, personally sent two martial artists of the eighth level of martial arts to Izushan City to deter our Cao family. As soon as these two people arrived in the mountain city, they killed several people from our Cao family, and now the people of our Cao family dare not go out. A few days ago, our ancestor sent me a letter, asking me to ask the eldest prince for help in dealing with this matter.

The eldest prince said: "Such a trivial matter, just let Shaoben deal with it, and I don't need to deal with it personally." ”

The eldest prince said to Cao Shaoben: "Since Cao Tao is your follower, you must uphold justice for him! Send a ninth-level martial artist to go out of the mountain city to deal with this matter, and remember not to make too much trouble."

And this Li Yuan, you can also find a way to dispose of it, or arrest your Cao family, let him refine the pill, and keep his hands and feet clean. ”

The eldest prince waved away Cao Shaoben and Cao Tao.

After Cao Shaoben and Cao Tao went back, Cao Shaoben immediately found a martial artist of the ninth level of martial arts and two martial artists of the eighth level of martial arts, and told them to let them go out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family. Do things secretly, and don't let people grab the handle. For the two martial artists of the eighth level of the Nanyue County martial arts who were guarding in the mountain town, all they needed to do was to hold them down and not let them stop them. If it is not necessary, do not hurt their lives and make too much movement and impact.

Cao Tao took the opportunity to repair a letter to tell them the cause and effect of the matter of the patriarch and the ancestor of the Cao family, so that they should not worry, in the future, the eldest prince and the Cao family in the capital will be covered, and no one will dare to do anything to them.

This ninth-level martial artist was named Cao Shaoshuai, and he led two eighth-level martial artists, Cao Shaoduan and Cao Shaolin, to rush to the mountain city in the starry night.
