All Chapters of Vanquish Them All: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Li Ye took Li Chongde back to the Chang'an Office, but after fifteen minutes, he let Li Chongde go. Li Ye didn't care who was right and who was wrong in the dispute between Li Chongde and Li Yao in the Xiangling Pavilion. It was just an excuse to take Li Chongde back to the Chang'an Office for questioning. Although Li Chongde came from an ordinary family and was only an unimportant Leader of a hundred people, Li Ye was still very polite and close to him in his speech and manner. When Li Chongde left, Li Ye saw him off in person. Although Li Chongde himself was not very important, Li Ye could meet more generals of the Regal Guards through him. Li Chongde was a key person for Li Ye to infiltrate the Regal Guards. It was already late. After settling the dispute between Li Chongde and Li Yao, Li Ye intended to return home. As for how to handle Li Yao, Li Ye didn't care about it and left this matter to his subordinates.

The mansion was guarded by middle-level Qi-refining cultivators. So, when Lu Yan suddenly heard a voice right outside the door, he had been frightened. Since there wasn't a warning from the mansion, it was likely that the guards had been subdued. Essentially, if someone had come to assassinate him, then Lu Yan was in a critical situation. After all, he wouldn't bring many of his guards when he met his beauty privately. As a high-level Qi-refining cultivator, Lu Yan was not afraid of assassination. He could escape if he couldn't win. The real reason for Lu Yan's surprise was that he feared that the other party had been sent by his wife. If he was caught by his wife when he was with the beauty, then he would get into big trouble. After all, once his family's scandal had spread, his reputation would be damaged and he would have no chance at becoming the prime minister. When he realized that the person who came to the door was Li Ye, Lu Yan wasn't relieved, b

Looking at Zhang Xingjian's back as he disappeared through the door, Xu Shaomu sneered. In fact, Zhang Xingjian's thought had been right. Xu Shaomu had already disliked him. This time, he wanted to suppress Zhang Xingjian in the name of respecting Li Ye, letting him know how to behave and showing him the real lord of the Chang'an Office. In fact, Lu Yan hadn't said that the Chang'an Office would be dominated by Li Ye in the future. He just told Xu Shaomu to support Li Ye's work. But, this didn't stop Xu Shaomu from making use of the topic and doing something beneficial for himself. At 9 o'clock, Wang Li was called by Li Ye again. "The fight between Li Yao and Li Chongde in the Xiangling Pavilion yesterday must reach a conclusion. You and I will go to interrogate Li Yao." Li Ye ordered Wang Li. Listening to this, Wang Li opened his mouth to say something but decided not to in the end. Zhang Xingjian had told others

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 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
