"Heavenly King" Li Yuan, whose name would shake the world after more than 20 years, seemed very ordinary at this time. However, his strength was not weak at this time. He also had the cultivation of Five Qis Collecting in Origin. But he was slightly older, looking like he was in his thirties.
His father, Duke Lin, was a hereditary Duke. In fact, in his generation, the family had actually declined.
Li Yuan's ancestors were martial arts grandmasters, but his father had only cultivated to the Oneness of Heaven and Man state at this age. Li Yuan, on the other hand, had already shown good talent at a young age. However, even if Duke Lin's Mansion tried their best, they could not let Li Yuan stand shoulder to shoulder with the outstanding talents on the Longhu List.
The so-called Duke's Public House sounded very famous, but in reality, after declining for so long, its foundation was not even comparable to a small faction. Therefore, the Duke of Lin Guo allowed Li Yuan to join the Crown Prince, Lv Longji, and was prepared to use the merit of helping the Duke of Lin Guo's Public House regain its glory.
Mo Tianlin did not know that Chu Xiu was thinking so much at this moment. He just sneered and said, "The Luo family is really desperate. What do they mean by inviting people from the imperial court? Is the Luo family going to rely on the imperial court or what? Don't they know that this is a taboo in Jianghu? "
Chu Xiu said lightly, "The boundary between Jianghu and the imperial court is not so clear. As long as there are benefits and benefits, why can't they join forces?
Don't forget that Northern Yan had to join forces with Northern Yan Jianghu to defeat Eastern Qi.
Besides, now the Eastern Qi imperial court also knows the benefits of joining forces with people from Jianghu. White Tiger Hall, one of the four spirits, has now joined forces with Eastern Qi imperial court. Don't you know? "
Mo Tianlin nodded. Of course, he knew this, but as a man of Jianghu, he still had some rejection of the imperial court.
The Luo family was only holding a martial arts competition to find a spouse. Coupled with the Luo family's current strength, Crown Prince Lv Longji naturally did not have to come in person.
However, he had sent his trusted aide and personal eunuchs. This was already enough.
At this time, Luo Tianyang personally led Li Yuan and Chen Dou to the seats of honor. Li Yuan smiled and said, "The Luo Family's Patriarch's daughter is famous. This martial contest for a spouse has attracted many young talents. Speaking of which, I don't seem to be very old. I wonder if I can participate?"
Hearing this, Luo Tianyang revealed an awkward expression.
If Lv Longji said this, Luo Tianyang would definitely agree.
Who cares about the imperial court or the pugilistic world? Being able to become the crown prince's wife was something that the Luo Family could not ask for more.
However, the problem was that these words were spoken by Li Yuan. He was only a trusted aide of the Crown Prince, and his position was incomparable. Moreover, the Duke of Lin's Public House had already declined. Although it had the title of a Duke, it could only be ranked in the middle among all the Dukes and Marquises in Eastern Qi.
When Li Yuan saw Luo Tianyang's expression, he knew what he was thinking. This caused Li Yuan to sneer inwardly, but he said indifferently, "Patriarch Luo, please don't mind me. I was just joking."
Hearing this, Luo Tianyang also laughed and chatted with them for a while before leaving.
In fact, from this point, it could be seen that Luo Tianyang was indeed not very good as a Patriarch, whether it was in terms of strength or ability.
Just now, when Li Yuan said that, regardless of whether he was joking or not, Luo Tianyang just had to pretend to flatter him and fool him, and it would be over.
In the end, Luo Tianyang acted as if he looked down on Li Yuan, but because of the latter's status, he could not say much. This completely offended Li Yuan.
After Luo Tianyang left, Li Yuan's expression was already somewhat gloomy.
Chen Dou, who was beside him, smiled and said in a slightly sharp voice, "Why? You feel uncomfortable being looked down upon?"
Li Yuan sneered and said, "No wonder the Luo Family has declined to such a state. With such an idiotic Patriarch, how can the Luo Family have a good future?"
Chen Dou waved his hand and said, "Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. An expert once said that as the saying goes, the river flows east for thirty years and then west for thirty years. Don't bully the young for being poor.
Now that you are with His Highness the Crown Prince, your future is boundless. Don't think that Luo Tianyang looks down on your status now. Who knows, he might have to bow to you in the future.
When the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, he will directly assign you to the military. At the very least, you will be a general or a general. At that time, it will just be a mere Luo Family. Not to mention Luo Tianyang, you probably won't even have to worry about the Luo Family's Patriarch. "
When Li Yuan heard this, he cupped his hands towards Chen Dou and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Chen. Don't worry, Eunuch Chen. Since I've already joined His Highness the Crown Prince, then I will naturally go through fire and water for His Highness the Crown Prince. Only when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the throne in the future will there be a day for us to make a name for ourselves."
Hearing Li Yuan's words, Chen Dou nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yuan was one of the more promising young confidants that His Highness the Crown Prince had recruited.
Although his current strength could not be compared to the young talents on the Longhu List, Li Yuan was bold and meticulous in his work. He was reliable, so he had gained His Highness the Crown Prince's favor.
Just then, Chen Dou inadvertently looked in Chu Xiu's direction and let out a soft cry of surprise.
Li Yuan asked in surprise, "Eunuch Chen, what's wrong?"
Chen Dou laughed coldly and said, "Nothing much. I just met a fellow that His Highness the Crown Prince often talks about. That fellow has caused His Highness the Crown Prince a lot of trouble."
Li Yuan asked doubtfully, "Who is it that actually dares to go against His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chen Dou pointed at Chu Xiu and said, "It's that fellow, ranked sixth on the Longhu List, Chu Xiu from the Guanzhong Torture Room. Originally, His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Anle Jiang Wenyuan were working well together. It was this fellow who leaked the news to the Second Prince, who then reported the matter to His Majesty. Not only did it lead to the destruction of the Prince Anle Residence, but His Majesty also gave His Highness a good scolding, causing His Highness's prestige to plummet. "
Li Yuan asked doubtfully, "This fellow has gone overboard. Did His Highness the Crown Prince not take any action?"
Chen Dou snorted coldly and said, "The previous incident at the Prince Anle Residence caused His Highness the Crown Prince to lose a lot of points in His Majesty's eyes. Of course he wouldn't dare to do anything.
Moreover, this Chu Xiu is from the Guanzhong Torture Room. This is a little tricky.
You also know that the Guanzhong Torture Room is not considered a power of our Eastern Qi, but in certain areas, they have worked with our Eastern Qi quite a bit. Moreover, this Chu Xiu is also one of the higher-ups of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
If His Highness makes a move against him in Eastern Qi and His Majesty finds out, he will definitely be heavily punished.
A lack of forbearance in small matters will spoil great plans. This kind of insignificant person can be taught a lesson at any time. There is no need to rush. Moreover, with His Highness's magnanimity, who knows, he might forget about this matter after some time. "
Li Yuan looked at Chu Xiu and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Don't worry, Eunuch Chen. If there is a chance, I will help His Highness vent his anger."
At this moment, Chu Xiu also felt that someone was looking at him. He turned his head and just happened to meet Li Yuanli's gaze. He could feel the meaning behind that gaze. Unexpectedly, neither of them was willing to give in to the other. In terms of aura, Li Yuanli was actually able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Chu Xiu, not cowering in the slightest.
Sensing the malice in Li Yuan's gaze, Chu Xiu could guess the other party's reason.
After all, in the previous incident with Qiu Zhensheng at the Pegasus Farm, he had stood on the Second Prince's side and caused the Crown Prince a lot of trouble.
Now, it would be strange if the Crown Prince, Lv Longji's people, still treated him well.
However, this Li Yuan did indeed have the potential to become a big shot in the future. At the very least, he dared to compete with Chu Xiu in terms of aura and was not at a disadvantage at all.
In fact, although Li Yuan was the Crown Prince's man, his strength and status were not as good as Chu Xiu's.
Stepping into the Five Qis Gathering in the Origin Realm at the age of 30 was considered outstanding among the warriors of the same level. But looking at the top ten of the Longhu List, there were almost no more than 30 people who had reached this realm.
In terms of reputation in Jianghu, Chu Xiu was also more famous than him. At this time, Chu Xiu was the torture officer of the Guanzhong Torture Room, while Li Yuan was only a low-ranking official in the Eastern Qi Imperial Court. If not for his identity as the Crown Prince, Lv Longji's confidant, he was not even worth mentioning.
Under the premise that he was inferior to Chu Xiu in all aspects, he was still able to make his aura not lose to Chu Xiu's, which was quite rare.
After the two sides looked at each other, they withdrew their gazes. At this moment, the Great Ancestor of the Luo family and Luo Tianyang both went out to welcome them. To be able to put on such a show, it was naturally the Shangshui Ying family, the head of the Nine Major Families.
Everyone looked at the gate. Luo Tianyang and the Great Ancestor of the Luo family led the way. From outside, three people walked in, but everyone present subconsciously looked at the person in the middle.
The person in the middle was an extremely handsome young man. The proportions of his facial features seemed to be carved out of jade, perfect and flawless. Even the faint smile that always hung on his face had never changed. There was not even the slightest fluctuation in it.
He was wearing a long black robe with white cloud patterns embroidered on it. As he walked, the white cloud patterns actually reacted with the surrounding power of heaven and earth, rippling like water. It was extremely miraculous. Clearly, his robe was not an ordinary item.
This person was the 'Unparalleled Young Master' Ying Bailu, who was famous in Jianghu. He was proficient in astrology, military strategy, and secret martial arts.
There were many people in Jianghu who were proficient in these things, and there were also many who could surpass Ying Bailu in a certain aspect. However, no one could be proficient in so many things at the same time. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was unparalleled in the world.
Behind Ying Bailu was a young man who looked slightly younger than Ying Bailu. Although he was also handsome, he was not as handsome as Ying Bailu. Moreover, there was a layer of gloominess on his face, which formed a sharp contrast with Ying Bailu, who always wore a smile.
Behind the two of them was an old man who deliberately took a step back from them. His subconscious hunch made it obvious that this old man was most likely a servant.
However, the problem was that this old man who looked like a servant exuded an extremely powerful aura that was not inferior to Luo Jiunian's. This old man was a Martial Dao Grandmaster!
