Chapter 78 The Struggle
Back at Prince An's Manor, Li Ye asked Song Jiao to take the little girl to have a bath and get changed into clean clothes.
Li Zhen had no objection. After all, a dirty little girl was impolite anywhere.
Although it was late, there was no shortage of cooks in Prince An's Manor. So, soon a banquet had been arranged for Li Ye. When Li Ye pulled Li Zhen into his seat, Li Zhen was somewhat dismayed. The banquet was so grand that he felt flattered again.
However, Li Zhen did not strike a pose but calmly sat down, humbled and not arrogant. But, in fact, the gift blinds the wise and perverts the words of the righteous. Li Ye didn't need to worry about the atmosphere between them. It became enthusiastic naturally and for Li Ye's questions, Li Zhen also said all he knew.
They talked mostly about the classics of Confucianism and Taoism. They talked about the doctrine of self-cultivation and governing the country, instead of the classics

Li Ye did not answer Shangguan Qingcheng's question. Shangguan Qingcheng also knew that she had asked an improper question. So, she asked for forgiveness and then left. In short, there were two reasons why Li Zhen would like to work for Li Ye. One was that Li Ye was worthy of trust, and the other was that he was in a difficult situation and had nowhere to go. Not one of the two reasons could be dispensed with. For Confucian scholars who aspired to pass the civil examination, they were unwilling to give up their goal of becoming an Imperial Scholar. Soon after Shangguan Qingcheng left, Song Jiao came to report on her daily affairs which included the placement of Rui Mengmeng. Song Jiao wanted to take her with her. On the one hand, it would be convenient. After all, Li Zhen was a man and not suitable to take care of a little girl. On the other hand, Song Jiao thought Rui Mengmeng was quite talented and wanted to try to train her so as to see whether she cou
Vanquish Them All Chapter 80 Attending a Banquet
Li Ye had decided to have a meeting with Li Keyong, but he didn't want Li Yan, who was interested in the position of Heir Prince, to follow. Li Ye was worried that if he had a conflict with Li Keyong, Li Yan would not stand by. Even if Li Yan could control his temper, it would be harmful to the overall situation if Li Ye made a feud with Li Keyong so that Li Keyong held a grudge against Li Yan. Li Guochang, whose real name was Zhuxie Chixin, was a native of Shatuo. When the imperial court suppressed the Rebellion of Pang Xun, he and Li Keyong had made great contributions, so he was granted the surname Li by the emperor. Therefore, he had changed his name. After the suppression, Li Guochang was appointed as Zhenwu Commissioner and Li Keyong was appointed as Yunzhong General. Because of the great victory against the grassland tribes in the early stage of the Tang Empire and the policy of conciliation to the grassland tribes, many of them surrendered to the

Although Li Ye and Shangguan Qingcheng came to the Manor on horseback, their speed wasn't fast, because it was not allowed to gallop a horse without reason in Chang'an City. As a vice magistrate of the Chang'an Office, Li Ye, who was in charge of the security of Chang'an City, certainly would not gallop a horse. Therefore, Li Kerang had already arrived before their arrival. The banquet in the hall had already begun. Li Kerang came with anger along the way, but in the face of the high ranking officials and dignitaries, he was unwilling to let others knew that he was bullied in Chang'an City. So he walked toward Li Keyong in a low profile. "Elder brother!" "Don't you say that you can't come?" Li Keyong glanced at Li Kerang who sat down beside him. He and Li Kerang had similar appearances and rough and rigid facial features. But his gaze was sharper than Li Kerang's. Having a glance at Li Kerang, Li Keyong frowned. "Are you injured?"

Li Kerang finally tasted the bitter feeling. He could only keep silent about his suffering and he was discouraged. Needless to say, he could not get revenge for his being beaten today. Although his identity was very exalted and he had Li Guochang support him, could his identity be more exalted than a Grand Prince's? He could only accept his bad luck when he came across the more exalted person who wielded real power. The assistant left minister of the Military Department glanced at Li Kerang. He thought for a while and then he said to Li Kerang in a low voice. "If someone else offended you, he should be domineering. But if the person was Prince An, he should have a reason. If you go out to inquire, you will know that Your Highness Prince An and Duchess of Li have grown up together..." Li Kerang felt blankly for a while and then he understood. He could not help but look at Li Keyong. He opened his mouth and did not say a word finally. He thoug

Unlike the people from the Central Plains, Li Keyong didn't know how to submit to humiliation. He had never submitted to humiliation in his past years, including the early years of defending Yin Mountain with Li Guochang and the years of suppressing the Rebellion of Pang Xun. People in the army were very direct. They fought if they had a disagreement. Whoever won was the leader. What was more, he was a Shatuo who was ferocious and aggressive. Fortunately, Li Keyong wasn't an ordinary person. He came to Chang'an for a very clear purpose and he knew that he should emphasize the overall situation, so he didn't leave immediately. Even if Wu Hongshan's attitude was weak, Li Keyong didn't shout at him. But he was strong and upright in disposition and unwilling to lose. Although he lost face, he didn't intend to retreat. He was thinking about how to defeat Li Ye and save his dignity. "I've heard that you are outstanding among the youths of the Imperial Clan and

After using all his cultivation, every time Li Keyong punched, the wind of his fist made a sound of tearing the air, howling like the wild wind. Spiritual Qi circled around his fist, forming a whirlpool of Spiritual Qi. It really looked like a storm! He punched so fast that most of the officials present could only see countless shadows of his fists and could not see each fist clearly. It was very difficult to defend his fierce attack. Everyone's expression became solemn when they realized that Li Keyong deserved his reputation. However, Li Ye, who stood in front of Li Keyong, had never changed his expression. Facing Li Keyong's fierce attack, he had no intention of defending and he punched one after another. Their punches hit together, causing explosive sounds and Spiritual Qi storms everywhere. The explosive sounds continued and their robes and hair were dancing. They didn't use advanced cultivation methods and just punched directly towards

Shocked and surprised, the officials discussed it widely. But the discussion soon came to an abrupt end. The officials present were all on Wei Baoheng and Wu Hongshan's side, while Li Ye was their political opponent. Exclamation and praise were inappropriate at this moment. They had the suspicion of exalting others and belittling themselves, so they all shut up, even if the fact that Li Ye, as a genius among the young cultivators in Chang'an, had defeated the most talented person in the vassal state, was a great honor for Chang'an. At this time, it wasn't good to continue to discuss it. Li Keyong stared at Li Ye and his expression changed a lot. He felt ashamed and resentful. He seemed to weigh whether to do something else to save his face or not. But eventually, he did nothing. After a while, he cupped his hands towards Li Ye and said, "I lost and you're more powerful than me!" After saying that, Li Keyong cupped his hands tow
Vanquish Them All Chapter 86 Killing Intent
Li Ye's meaning was very clear, which was to plant Kang Chengxun's assassination on Li Guochang. For the Lulong Commissioner, it was difficult for them to fight against the Zhenwu Army, because the imperial court didn't like their arrogance and they didn't have high-ranking officials as their allies. If Li Ye was willing to help, Youzhou's odds of success would be much bigger. "There's some... evidence, but not much hard evidence..." After his excitement, Zhang He thought calmly and then hesitated to say. When Kang Chengxun went to Hedong to take office, Li Guochang always regarded him as a thorn in his side, especially after Li Guanshu's death. In order to drive Kang Chengxun out of Hedong, Li Guochang secretly took some actions. It was possible for the Lulong Army, who paid close attention to the Zhenwu Army, to dig out some clues from his secret moves, if they tried their best. However, these clues could only indicate that L
