Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1110 - 656: Li Family Twin Dragon (Part 2)
The window suddenly exploded, a muffled groan echoed inside, someone fell down, revealing the person behind.
A fair-skinned man, with features like a spring breeze, well-defined features, not particularly young, but not old either, with an originally noble demeanor that seemed to waver at this moment, a hint of astonishment in his eyes, perhaps not expecting someone to dare break the window suddenly.
Although he had revealed himself earlier, it was still different from this.
And behind him stood another person that Sui Yi found familiar.
Wui Zheng.
There was probably only one person for whom Wui Zheng could act as the main aide.
"Brother!" Li Yuanba called out loudly, and everyone knew his identity.
Li Yuan’s eldest son, Li Jiancheng.
The person later pulled down from the throne during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
Now, he seemed devoid of the embarrassment from being cornered by Li Shimin’s brilliance, nor the arrogance of a legitimate heir, only the affection and indulgence towards his brothers as an elder brother.
For instance, now, he glanced at Li Yuanba, then at Li Shimin, and helplessly sighed: "Yuanba, you make your second brother worry every day, making him set aside his duties just to come and handle this."
Having said that, he smiled generously at Miss Sui.
"Jiancheng’s failure to restrain his brothers properly, I apologize for the embarrassment, Miss Sui."
Although it sounded polite and magnanimous, something felt strange.
At least, that’s how Song Yuzhi felt, while Song Shidao, one of the few insightful ones, exchanged a look with Li Shimin.
"Not at all," Sui Yi said lightly, then entered the room with Hell’s Wan Ge, and Elder Gu didn’t need any instructions from Sui Yi to start organizing and cleaning up the scene.
No face was given to the Li siblings, but considering their feat of pulling the mountain and finishing Yuwen Huaji, it didn’t matter.
Li Jiancheng’s gaze followed Sui Yi and her companion, then he withdrew it and loudly laughed at Li Shimin: "Second Brother, you better head back soon to avoid delaying official business."
Li Shimin nodded: "Elder Brother’s reminder is right, Shimin will set off immediately", and he glanced at Wui Zheng behind Li Jiancheng, who respectfully bent over.
Soon after, Li Jiancheng took Wui Zheng and left.
"Mr. Wui said that this woman with the surname Sui is worth befriending, but I don’t think so, that woman, .... only her martial arts are a little higher, a little more beautiful."
Li Jiancheng squinted slightly, his tone somewhat indifferent.
Riding behind him, Wui Zheng lowered his eyes and softly said: "Is His Highness thinking the other party is not wise?"
"Could she be wise?"
Playing with the jade pendant in his hand, Li Jiancheng smiled indifferently: "First, letting Yuwen Chengdu go, a woman’s compassion; second, knowing she’s the target of everyone, yet not concealing at all; third, after offending Yuwen, the Demon Sect, and many other forces, she remains cold and distant after being severely injured herself, too arrogant."
If Li Jiancheng were to tell the truth, there would be a fourth and fifth, but he didn’t, because after all, the other party was a peerless beauty, and he couldn’t be too harsh.
Moreover, she’s just a woman after all.
Quite high expectations would not be good either. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Wui Zheng listened obediently all along. After hearing, he neither agreed nor disagreed, just slowly smiled: "Regardless of anything, she is now a key figure influencing the situation. Winning her over could possibly lead to obtaining the Longevity Formula, and then enlisting the strength of many sects."
In the Great Tang’s Double Dragons World, sect powers are a major component of the political situation balance. Although Li Jiancheng is boastful, he understands the importance behind it. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said: "I understand the teacher’s meaning, I will pay more attention to that woman."
Sometimes, from an unremarkable address from those in power, you can judge his positioning towards a person.
Unless this ruler hides his emotions well, and Li Jiancheng obviously wasn’t deep enough to say that intentionally.
"Since the young master understands, that’s for the best."
Wui Zheng lowered his eyes, sighing slightly in his heart, a woman.... if he regarded this Mr. Sui as a woman, then he probably wouldn’t have cared much for Wanwan or Shi Feixuan either, merely noticed them.
—— Just a woman.
This is not the right attitude, rather extremely foolish.
However, Wui Zheng knew Li Jiancheng didn’t take the advice of strategists like them seriously, saying he was obstinate might be a bit too much, but he was definitely an arrogant person.
So, there couldn’t be a second time to advise him.
Wui Zheng remained silent.
Until Li Jiancheng said: "Do you think Second Brother he..."
The two walked farther and farther away.
Elsewhere, Li Shimin also bid farewell to Song Shidao, and left with Li Yuanba.
Watching Li Shimin’s back, Song Yuzhi sighed: "Second Brother Li is somewhat regrettable, if he were the eldest son..."
Song Shidao flicked her forehead with his finger, seriously reminding: "This must not be said a second time."
Song Yuzhi was startled, suddenly realizing that her own family also had an elder brother and a second brother. Although the brothers had a good relationship, one chased power and the other liked martial arts, without any struggle for power, who knew what uncertainties the future held.
The position in this world is indeed the biggest temptation.
The Song siblings were invited into the room by Elder Gu, went to the second floor, saw the main hall and the balcony, and also saw the bedrooms on either side.
One was Sui Yi’s, and the other belonged to Hell’s Wan Ge.
At this moment, Hell’s Wan Ge was not present, and the two only exchanged a few words, advising Sui Yi to recuperate well before preparing to leave.
Just before leaving....
"Miss Sui," Song Shidao couldn’t help but ask, "I wonder how Miss Fu is doing..."
Sui Yi glanced at him and said: "She went home, I don’t know much."
Song Shidao was somewhat disappointed, but didn’t ask further. As a gentleman, he adhered to his principles thoroughly, and left with Song Yuzhi.
Once they left, Hell’s Wan Ge, having changed clothes, opened the door. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
