Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

No matter how wronged Emperor Li II felt, in the eyes of others, these were just excuses for him not wanting to admit the facts.

Li Daozhong is no exception.

Therefore, the conversation between the two ended in a bad mood.

On the other side, Changsun Wuji also met a young man who had been waiting for a long time at Suzaku Gate. When the young man saw him coming, he immediately bowed and said, "Duke Zhao."

"It's you?" Zhang Sun Wuji looked at the young man in front of him who served as Dou Shilun's vanguard, his face extremely gloomy: "Boy, you are really brave, daring to wait for me here!"

"What are you saying, Lord Zhao?" the young man bowed and said, "Li Yifu is just a rookie. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Even if Lord Zhao is a tiger, I am not afraid of him."

"Heh..." As soon as Li Yifu said this, before Changsun Wuji could speak, Yuwen Shiji standing next to him became angry: "Young man, you are so sharp-tongued. You should know that--"

"You must know that I am talking to the Duke of Zhao. Duke of Ying, what do you want to do here?" Although Li Yifu was still smiling, his eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth: "If I were you, I would walk away tactfully. The Duke of Zhao is still my prince's uncle after all. As for you, heh...if Miss Wanwan is willing to recognize you, perhaps our Dou family can still take you seriously. Otherwise...you should know your own limitations!"

"You!" Yuwen Shiji was furious when he heard this, but when he was about to take action, Changsun Wuji grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Renren, since this guy is here to negotiate with me on behalf of the Dou family, then you should not interfere in this matter for the time being. I can handle this, you go first."

"Brother Fuji..." Yuwen Shiji glanced at Changsun Wuji first, and seeing the firm expression on his face, he thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll wait for you over there."

After saying this, he went straight to his own carriage not far away, expressing his attitude and position.

After Yuwen Shiji left, Zhangsun Wuji turned his attention to Li Yifu: "Dou Shilun is so arrogant? He only sent a young man to negotiate?"

"Did Lord Dou say that he was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and fight with Lord Zhao? As for the others, they are all retainers... well... there are not many with better tempers than Lord Dou, so I volunteered." Li Yifu laughed when he heard this: "Lord Zhao, I am telling the truth, please don't be angry."

"Humph!" Upon hearing this, Chang Sun Wuji flicked his sleeves and sneered, "You let them come, do you think I'm afraid of them?"

"Duke Zhao has the support of His Majesty, so he is naturally not afraid of these things." Li Yifu nodded and then said, "But Duke Zhao, what do you think...what do we in the Dou family need to be afraid of right now?"

"..." After hearing what Li Yifu said, Changsun Wuji really didn't know how to respond.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Just tell me why you're here..."

"Duke Zhao, just say it straight." Li Yifu still maintained a kind smile and said softly, "From tomorrow on, Duke Zhao, you will write to His Majesty, saying that you are not feeling well and need to rest at home."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Changsun Wuji had never seen such a straightforward young man: "Do you want to die?"

"Hey...Duke Zhao, how can you say that?" Li Yifu frowned and said, "I'm not teaching you how to do anything. I'm threatening you. If you want your whole family to be exiled sooner, then you should take my words as bullshit. I'll go back and prepare to send your whole family to Lingnan as soon as possible. Ah, no, His Royal Highness the King of Chu will be there in Lingnan, so we have to avoid suspicion. So I'll just exile your whole family to Songzhou."

After Li Yifu finished speaking, he bowed to Changsun Wuji again, regardless of the shock and anger on his face, then turned around and ran away.

"Come back!" Changsun Wuji saw that this kid was not dragging his feet when speaking and doing things. He suddenly realized that the other party was not joking with him, so he did not have time to think about it and shouted angrily on the spot: "Do you really think that I can be manipulated by others?!"

"Oh, Duke Zhao..." Li Yifu couldn't help but stop when he heard that. Then he turned around and complained to him helplessly, "Look at you... why are you so easily angry? How could we think that you are someone who can be manipulated by others? Ah... that's not right. It seems that what Yu Gong and Lai Gong meant... is to kill everyone if they can't control them. They didn't mention exile - oh... it seems that I still need to learn a lot from the old priests. If you are not ruthless, you can't stand firm..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Sun Wuji could hear the indifference in the other party's tone, and he strode forward until he was face to face with Li Yifu. "Boy, you are still a little naive when it comes to psychological warfare!"

"Really?" Li Yifu laughed when he heard that, then his face became serious: "Since Duke Zhao doesn't buy it, why don't you just leave it to me and leave?"

“Haha…” Zhang Sun Wuji sneered upon hearing this: “I’ve said before that I’m not someone you can manipulate. Provoking me… won’t work!”

"Whether it is a provocation or not, Duke Zhao can wait and see." Li Yifu said, while keeping his eyes on Zhangsun Wuji's neck: "Duke Zhao, when His Majesty succeeded in seizing the throne, if it weren't for the Queen's persuasion, making you afraid of being full and giving up the position of Prime Minister and only holding an empty title, would you really have been able to get to where you are today without any problems?

You must know that when the Chu-Han War ended and the world was settled, when Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was rewarding people for their merits, he promised Zhang Liang a fief of 30,000 households and a fiefdom for himself. But what did Liu Hou do? If he did not refuse the reward, and then went to the mountains to practice Taoism and live in seclusion in his later years, how could he have a good end in the face of the powerful Liu Bang and Empress Lu?"

"..." After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was speechless. —— Because the other party's words had undoubtedly hit his vital point accurately.

"Duke Zhao?" Li Yifu waited for a while, and seeing that Changsun Wuji remained silent, he continued, "If you really have good plans, you should know that my willingness to come here today is the last goodwill of the Dou family - the previous matter, His Royal Highness the King of Chu chose to endure it for the sake of the Queen.

But even though Your Highness is forbearing, it doesn't mean that we, the servants of the Dou family, can sit back and watch our master being bullied like this." Li Yifu couldn't help but look at Changsun Wuji with a regretful tone and said, "Duke Zhao, I really don't understand. You are so short-sighted and stupid, but others still praise you for being cunning... Ha... Where is your cunning? Is it in your ass ditch?"
