After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

When the new dynasty was established, Emperor Liang conferred titles on all meritorious ministers, which was done after careful consideration.

The two princes of the Liang Dynasty were granted the title of Duke. On the one hand, their military exploits were indeed outstanding, and on the other hand, they were able to balance and restrict various forces.

Therefore, Xu Shengyuan has never been convinced by Li Hansheng, because he also comes from a noble family, and he can completely replace Li Hansheng as the Duke of the country. Li Hansheng was elected simply because he had no in-laws or heirs, so there was less involvement.

Xu Shengyuan understood these things clearly, and Li Hansheng understood them even more. Otherwise, Li Hansheng would not have surrendered military power and maintained filial piety for his deceased wife. Therefore, Li Hansheng also understood Xu Shengyuan's unwillingness and rarely showed up in front of Xu Shengyuan.

Xu Shengyuan never thought that one day he would invite Li Hansheng to tea, but in this case, he did accept Li Hansheng's favor.

When Li Hansheng arrived at Xu Mansion, he went straight to Xu Shengyuan's study. Xu Shengyuan rarely stood up to greet him. He smiled and invited Li Hansheng to sit opposite him and poured tea for Li Hansheng.

Li Hansheng leaned back on the chair and squinted at Xu Shengyuan's unusual attentiveness. He felt inexplicably uneasy. He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this old guy was selling in his gourd?

After Xu Shengyuan poured the tea, he actually got up to get some refreshments from Li Hansheng. Li Hansheng couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay! Sit down! Just say what's going on!"

Li Hansheng originally wanted to wait for Xu Shengyuan to speak first, but he really didn't want to see Xu Shengyuan's pretentious face.

When Xu Shengyuan heard that Li Hansheng asked first, he said with a smile: "Don't I want to thank you for giving my useless brat such a good opportunity?"

Xu Shengyuan was deliberately ambiguous, and Li Hansheng seemed to understand somewhat. However, Li Hansheng couldn't help but wanted to hurt Xu Shengyuan by saying, "Yes! What a great opportunity, the young master of the Xu family doesn't even bring his wallet with him to entertain guests!"

Mingjun and Mingjia would not tell Li Hansheng about this trivial matter, but the people Li Hansheng sent to follow him would tell Li Hansheng everything in detail.

Li Hansheng's words left Xu Shengyuan speechless. Xu Shengyuan did not expect this, so he could only apologize and said: "Lei'er will return the invitation at Tianxiang Tower today. They are friends, and they have always been together!"

When Li Hansheng saw Xu Shengyuan's attitude, he felt even more unsure. He was not angry even though he was like this, and his attitude was still so good.

Xu Shengyuan kept talking in circles with Li Hansheng. One moment he seemed to want to inquire about Xie Boyuan, the next moment he wanted to ask about the prince's recent performance in government affairs, and the next moment he even talked about Ming Jun's imperial examination.

Li Hansheng adhered to the principle of saying half the words and leaving the other half in everything, without making a clear statement, and kept chatting with Xu Shengyuan.

Suddenly, Xu Shengyuan asked Li Hansheng seemingly casually: "Are Mingjun and Mingjia brothers?" Li Hansheng felt that he could find out this matter by just checking, so he nodded directly, "Yes! Brothers!"

Xu Shengyuan lowered his head and fiddled with the charcoal fire a few times, and continued: "I heard Lei'er tell me that Ming Jia is not very old, but he has good swordsmanship!"

At the level of Li Hansheng and Xu Shengyuan, there is very little nonsense. Li Hansheng could not think too much about the question just now and continued to ask about Ming Jia. Li Hansheng frowned a little.

In Li Hansheng's impression, Ming Jia's swordsmanship was taught by Cheng Si, and it was not an advanced swordsmanship. Moreover, Xu Honglei seemed to have only seen Ming Jia competing with others at his home yesterday.

Ming Jia found out that they had arrived and immediately stopped. What else could Xu Honglei see? Li Hansheng was not in a hurry to answer Xu Shengyuan's question. He was leaning forward again and leaned on the back of the chair.

Li Hansheng only felt happy that Mingjia had good skills yesterday. As for Mingjia's swordsmanship, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now Xu Shengyuan mentioned it, and Li Hansheng began to recall Mingjia's swordsmanship yesterday.

Suddenly, Li Hansheng remembered that Ming Jia used a soft sword yesterday, and the sword technique used was obviously not taught by Cheng Si. Li Hansheng raised his eyes and looked at Xu Shengyuan, who was looking at Li Hansheng with a smile.

Li Hansheng knew that this was Xu Shengyuan's real purpose of inviting him to tea today, "Do you know this sword technique?"

When he was conquering the world, Li Hansheng was fighting outside, and Shen Zhi followed Emperor Liang to protect him. Later, when the dynasty was established, Li Hansheng and Shen Zhi were not suitable for close friendship because one was the Duke of the country and the other was the commander of the emperor's bodyguard.

Xu Shengyuan originally wanted to find out something from Li Hansheng, but seeing that Li Hansheng was planning to play dumb with him, he now pretended not to know the origin of the swordsmanship!

Xu Shengyuan pretended to be good-tempered for a long time, but suddenly he couldn't pretend anymore, and his face turned a little bad, "Li Hansheng, this is boring! My Lei'er already recognizes this sword technique, so there is no need for you to pretend!"

Li Hansheng looked at Xu Shengyuan, who suddenly changed his face, and his heart dropped! However, he was also full of questions. Ming Jia used a soft sword, and his swordsmanship was a bit weird, but he really didn't recognize it!

After Xu Shengyuan finished speaking, he looked straight at Li Hansheng, and then Xu Shengyuan caught a flash of confusion in Li Hansheng's eyes.

In the end, the two grown men reached a tacit agreement and said nothing. The two people just looked at each other in confusion until Xu Shengyuan was defeated because Xu Shengyuan discovered that Li Hansheng really didn't know.

Xu Shengyuan sighed and secretly wondered, "Is this a private collaboration between Xie Boyuan and Shen Zhi?" After returning to the court from Qu County, Xu Shengyuan wrote several letters to Xie Boyuan, but nothing happened.

Xie Boyuan's intention was obvious, he didn't want to have too many private interactions with Xu Shengyuan. So now, Xu Shengyuan still has to be on good terms with Li Hansheng!

Xu Shengyuan really didn't expect that he was obviously inquiring about information with Li Hansheng, but how could he end up sending information to Li Hansheng.

"Shen" Xu Shengyuan dipped his index finger into a little tea and wrote the word "Shen" on the table. After finishing writing, he tapped his left back when he stopped.

Li Hansheng's expression suddenly became tense. Li Hansheng didn't know many people named Shen, and among them there was only one martial artist named Shen. The location of the mansion happened to be in the direction Xu Shengyuan pointed just now.

"Shen Zhi?" Li Hansheng was so surprised that he directly said what was in his heart.

Seeing Li Hansheng's surprised expression, Xu Shengyuan felt secretly happy that he knew more things than Li Hansheng, but at the same time felt a little heartbroken that he had casually told Li Hansheng such important information.

After Li Hansheng couldn't help but blurt out Shen Zhi's name, he also realized that he had lost his temper. He quickly sat up straight and began to think about Shen Zhi's sword skills, but soon gave up because almost everyone who had seen Shen Zhi's sword skills died.

Li Hansheng pursed his lips and then said, "If I say that I have never seen Shen Zhi's swordsmanship, would you believe it?"

Xu Shengyuan nodded without hesitation: "Believe!" Because he had never seen it before, but Xu Shengyuan still trusted his youngest son.
