Chapter 73 Night Banquet 2
"Seventh brother, you came just right. Ha, I came up with a good hand for my brother. Let's see what else the seventh brother can do this time?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Xian raised his head from the chessboard. Seeing that it was Li Xian who turned back, he couldn't help laughing. With a wave, he pointed to the chessboard proudly and said with enthusiasm. He didn't ask whether Li Xian and Wu Youning had negotiated anything. Obviously, in his eyes, Wu Youning was a passer-by. It's just a dragon set, and it's not worth mentioning at all.
The ignorant will never be fearless. Hey, I'm afraid this self-centered nature can't be changed in his life. As soon as he saw Li Xian's excitement, even if Li Xian had been familiar with his personality for a long time, he couldn't help slandering him in his heart, but his face still smiled extremely brightly. He walked to a few steps, knelt down, picked up a black piece from the chess box, glanced at the board, and clicked on the chess game almost without thinking. On the main point.
"Oh, the seventh brother's chess is fierce, and the net is broken?" As soon as he saw that Li Xian's chess pieces fell on the strategic point, Li Xian couldn't help taking a cold breath and muttered angrily.
"Sixth brother, my cousin sent me an invitation, saying that he would invite my brother to the banquet tomorrow night." Li Xian did not answer Li Xian's question, but said Wu Youning's intention with a smile.
"I won't go." Li Xian was so straightforward that he replied with two words without raising his head.
"I'm afraid it's not good. My father and mother have gone. If you and my brother don't go, I'm afraid of gossip." Li Xian smiled bitterly on his face, shook his head and explained.
"Oh?" As soon as Li Xian heard this, he raised his head doubtfully, frowned slightly and looked at Li Xian. He said softly, but he was not in a hurry to make a statement. Li Xian did not say anything to urge him. He just reached out and took out two invitations from his sleeve and put them on several.
"Well, since you can't avoid it, then go for a walk." Li Xian picked up the two folds, turned them over casually, shook his head indifferently, and said a little.
"Well, I'll ask someone to prepare some gifts, and I'll send them away. It's good for you and my brother." Li Xian smiled, called Gao Miao, who was beside him, and whispered a few words. Gao Miao led a group of people to prepare gifts without mentioning them.
"These mediocre talents are good at patting horses, but they have no serious skills at all. Seventh brother, look at this invitation, bronzing gold and silver is very rich, I don't know how many people are in it. Humph, shameless!" Although Li Xian did not refuse Li Xian's kindness to help him prepare gifts, he also planned to go to tomorrow's banquet, but his resentment against the Wu family did not diminish slightly because of this. He threw the bronzing invitation in his hand casually and scolded him rudely.
"What the sixth brother said is that today's morning wind is worrying. If you don't change your outlook, there will be a strange disaster in the future. It's still early to say it at this time. It's not too late for the sixth brother to talk about it when Qingyun goes straight up." Li Xian III is a man. He is far clearer about the various shortcomings of the Tang Dynasty than Li Xian, and he also has endless emotions in his heart. However, Li Xian knows that these things are urgent, and it is impossible to change the status quo by complaining. Seeing that Li Xian's face is unhappy, he smiled and comforted.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Come on, continue to play chess. I'm sure to win this game today!" Li Xian is a little arrogant, but he still knows the priorities of things. After complaining, he doesn't want to talk more about the martial arts family, which brings the topic back to the chessboard.
"Sixth brother has this ambition, and the little brother should accompany him to the end, but..." Li Xian stopped halfway to his words, as if he wanted to speak and stop.
"Hmm?" As soon as Li Xian heard Li Xian's words, he couldn't help frowning. After waiting for a long time, he didn't see Li Xian continue to say. His doubts arose. Looking at Li Xian's face, Li Xian suddenly woke up, waved to the people waiting in the hall, and snorted coldly: " Let's all retreat!"
"No."
Li Xian was majestic by nature. Since he gave the order, the crowd did not dare to neglect. They bowed their promises and withdrew from the hall. Only the little brothers sat opposite each other in the empty hall.
"Seventh brother, it's quiet at this time. If you have something to say, just say it clearly. I'm really impatient to guess the riddle for my brother." Li Xian was impatient. As soon as the people in the hall retreated, he asked impatiently.
Li Xian was not in a hurry to say anything, but smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Six, I have something that has been doubted for a long time, and it is difficult to relax. Please give me some advice."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Xian really couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Li Xian's gourd. He couldn't help locking his eyebrows and waved his hand unhappily.
"Sixth brother, can Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun win the favor of his mother?" Li Xian looked solemn and said slowly.
"This..." Li Xian obviously didn't expect that Li Xian was asking such an "insignificant" small question. He couldn't help but look at Li Xian suspiciously, but he couldn't see a clue from Li Xian's face. For a moment, his eyes were full of doubts, but it was difficult to ask more. He could only answer impatiently. One sentence said, "My mother has never liked these two people. If it hadn't been so, how could they all be sent to other places as officials? Although I don't know the details of the inside, I can still see some points from the sidelines. Why, does the seventh brother think there is something strange about tomorrow's banquet?"
"Well, it's strange!"
These days, Li Xian has been thinking about how to deal with the murder of the Queen Wu, but there is no one under him. Even if there are thousands of tricks, it is in vain. Now that things are approaching, Li Xian has to reveal some clues in advance, just to see if Li Xian can help.
"What? Do you want to make trouble? How is this possible?" Hearing this, Li Xian couldn't help but be shocked, his eyes widened, and he asked in surprise.
"The sixth brother misunderstood. It's not that Erwu has the courage to be such a thief, but that someone wants to take advantage of the night banquet to blame him!" Li Xian replied calmly.
"This..., the seventh brother is saying..." Li Xian is not a fool. Naturally, he also saw the ambiguous situation in the palace. At this time, listening to Li Xian's obvious hint, he vaguely touched the edge of the truth. When he was shocked, he suddenly got up and pointed to the direction of the main hall of the palace and hissed that he couldn't say a complete word. With that, the color of anger overflowed with words.
"Hmm." Li Xian didn't explain much, but nodded heavily.
"This, this, this is impossible, I don't believe it!" Li Xian said that he was not a cruel person after all. He couldn't believe that there were such cruel people in the world. Even if Li Xian said that he was so sure, Li Xian still couldn't be sure that it was true.
Don't believe it? Hey, I don't believe it. In your previous life, you didn't believe that the mother-in-law would be so black-hearted, but what was the result? You just die in vain! Li Xian knows Li Xian's character very well. He knows that although his temper is not too good, his nature is upright. If he is not flat, he will sing. Although he has talent, he is not enough to change his ability. He is not thick enough, and his heart is not dark enough. When he is a Chengping emperor, he can be called Mingjun. Unfortunately, he meets a darker-hearted person such as Queen Wu, if there is no accident. Li Xian is just a stepping stone for Queen Wu to ascend Dabao.
"The sixth brother has heard rumors in the palace that his father returned to the capital and appointed the wife of the State of Wei as the noble concubine of Wei." Since Li Xian decided to seek Li Xian's help, he will not hide his own ideas too much. Of course, Li Xian will never talk about personal secrets.
"Yes, I have heard of it, but what about this?" Li Xian walked back and forth a few steps anxiously in the hall and asked with an extremely gloomy face.
"The strangeness comes out here. Does the sixth brother still remember how the queen and Xiao Shufei died in those years?" Li Xian sneered.
"Ah, this..."
When Empress Wang and Xiao Shufei died, Li Xian was still young. He had never seen it with his own eyes, but he had heard a lot of people talk about the tragedy of their death. As soon as he thought of the so-called "bone drunk", Li Xian couldn't help shivering, and the fear in his eyes flashed.
"Sixth brother, He Lan's favors and arrogance. Every time he is beautiful ** father, he has already violated the mother's great taboo. How can he live? The reason why he doesn't get rid of it is that the time has not come. Now, since the Erwu has come, it's time to take action. Hey, when the former brother and the sixth brother returned to Beijing, the benevolent hall Do you still remember the scene of my brother?" Li Xian did not be silent because of Li Xian's palpitations, but continued to analyze while the iron was hot.
"The Hall of Benevolence? The meaning of the seventh brother is..."
As soon as he heard that Li Xian mentioned the Benevolence Hall, Li Xian's eyes immediately flashed, and his face was full of haze. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, and asked half of the words uncerably.
"Even if I don't say it, the sixth brother must have guessed it. Yes, if you and my brother have a slight conflict with the Helan family, then there is no need for Erwu to come here." Li Xian smiled coldly and poked out the conclusion in his heart without hiding.
"Top cylinder? Top cylinder! What a top cylinder!" Li Xian was naturally intelligent. As soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he understood the key to the matter. His face darkened in an instant. His teeth clenched tightly, and his face twitched. After a long time, he squeezed out a word from between his teeth. Obviously, the resentment in his heart had gathered to the edge of the outbreak.
"What are you going to do?" Like an angry lion, Li Xian paced back and forth in the hall without saying a word for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly stood up and asked with a resolute face.
How to do it? Li Xian has thought about this problem these days. He has thought about countless ways, but none of them can be foolproof. In addition, Li Xian does not dare to be 100% sure that the Queen Wu will take action at this banquet, let alone determine the means of the Queen Wu. If you want to come up with an excellent plan, it is almost impossible. Perhaps, not to mention Li Xian, even if the immortals come here, it is impossible to be foolproof. In the face of Li Xian, Li Xian, contrary to the previous excitement, he fell into silent thinking...
