Chapter 738 Self-defeating

Before the welcoming dinner, Li You and his family of three came to the guest room and officially met with Taro Takahashi and others.

When Li You saw Akira Hamasaki, he bowed and said, "Sorry, Akira Hamasaki, I am only concerned about reunion with my family and neglecting the general."

Ayumi Hamasaki was captured by Li You and others that year. Later, Li You released him and Kyumiko Takahashi back to Kyushu Island. Now he is one of the most important generals of the Kyushu Kingdom and is Takahashi Taro's right-hand assistant.

Ayumi Hamasaki admired Li You very much back then. The great achievements that Li You have established in recent years, especially the acquisition of Baekje and Silla, made him amazed. Seeing that Li You are polite to him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen His Highness the King of Northwest."

Li You said, "General is exempted from the gift. We will have a few more drinks later."

At this time, Masamiko Takahashi came over. Without waiting for Kyumiko Takahashi to introduce, she bowed and said, "My daughter has met her brother-in-law."

Her inappropriate remarks aroused Li You's curiosity, and he asked, "Who is this?"

Takahashi Kumiko said, "Mamiko is the younger sister."

Li You smiled and said, "No wonder, it's as beautiful as your sister."

Masamiko Takahashi smiled and said, "No wonder my sister likes you, brother-in-law, you are really good at talking."

Zhang Baogui said, "Brother You, you are praising each other here, but I feel a little numb. Let's stop talking here, go to the banquet hall to drink and talk."

On the way to the Magistrate's Mansion, Zhang Baogui and Masamiko Takahashi were already very familiar with each other, so they spoke casually.

Li You smiled and said, "Yes, let's talk while drinking."

When we arrived at the banquet hall, we saw Li Lizhi, Changsun Chong, Wang Jingzhi and others waiting there.

When Li Lizhi saw Li You and others, she said, "Fifth brother, who is my sister-in-law?"

Li You introduced them, everyone exchanged greetings for a while, and the banquet began.

In order to cheer up, Li Lizhi specially brought a performance team from the condolence group to perform singing and dancing for everyone.

At the banquet, Zhang Baogui was in charge of Ayumi Hamazaki and others. Li You accidentally discovered that Mamiko Takahashi and Zhang Baogui were very close. She went over and sat next to Zhang Baogui. The two of them chatted and laughed, laughed and played, and were very happy.

Originally, Li You had the intention of telling Zhang Baogui a marriage. Seeing this situation, he asked: "Brother Takahashi, Kyumiko, does Mamiko have an in-laws family?"

Taro Takahashi, Kumiko Takahashi, Li Lizhi and others misunderstood Li You and thought he was going to hit his sister-in-law, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Takahashi Kyumiko asked vigilantly: "Prince, what are you doing?"

Li You pointed at Zhang Baogui and said, "See it. Mamiko and Baogui are very close. I owe Baogui a marriage. If Mamiko has no engagement, I want to match their marriage."

Taro Takahashi said: "Mamiko has not been engaged to anyone, but I want to ask Mamiko for her opinion on this matter."

Li You smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just a suggestion, everything depends on what you mean."

Li Lizhi asked curiously: "Fifth Brother, what's going on when you say you owe Baogui a marriage?" She knew that Zhang Baogui already had several wives and concubines, and Li You said she still owe him a marriage, so she was inevitably curious.

Li You said: "Baogui is my sworn brother. He values ​​love and righteousness and made a great sacrifice for me. I feel a little guilty about him. Do you still remember the incident of that female assassin?"

Li Li asked, "You are talking about the princess of Goguryeo? Isn't she going to assassinate you? What does it have to do with Zhang Baogui?"

When talking about the female assassin, Takahashi Kyumiko remembered the incident when she assassinated Li You. When she heard that someone assassinated Li You, she couldn't help but get nervous. She asked anxiously: "Prince, someone assassinated you, are you okay?"

Li You smiled and said, "It's okay, don't I sit in front of you?"

After Takahashi Kumi relaxed, she asked, "Why did the princess of Goguryeo assassinate you?"

Li You just told the whole story.

After Li You's story was told, everyone was in a very heavy mood. They both felt sweaty for Li You and sighed deeply for the love and hatred between Zhang Baogui and Princess Suzy.

At this moment, Zhang Baogui and Mamiko Takahashi came to toast Li You and others together.

Everyone saw Zhang Baogui's tall figure and Mamiko Takahashi's petite figure. The two were nearly one end different in height, and they looked a big difference. However, the style of the two standing together was very beautiful and cute.

Everyone laughed and made a fuss for a while, and Masa Takahashi and Zhang Baogui returned to their original table together.

Li You said: "I saw it. They are very close. I suggest again that if there is no other problem, please ask Brother Takahashi and Kyumiko to help them."

Taro Takahashi and Kumiko Takahashi looked at each other, neither of them said anything.

Li You said enthusiastically: "You don't have to rush to make a decision. When you go back, ask Mamiko. If she wants, you can help match it up."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "You guys drink slowly, I'll go out."

After Li You left, Taro Takahashi looked at Kyumiko Takahashi and looked for her opinions with her eyes.

After shaking his head slightly, Takahashi Kumiko also looked for Takahashi Taro with her eyes. Takahashi Taro also shook her head slightly. Then, the two nodded again to show that they understood the other party's meaning.

Li You had great hope for the marriage between Zhang Baogui and Mamiko Takahashi, so he told the story just now to prove that Zhang Baogui was a kind and kind man.

What he didn't know was that it was because he would backfire after telling this story, which aroused unanimous opposition from Taro Takahashi and Kumiko Takahashi.

Kumiko Takahashi thought that Zhang Baogui was too cruel. Since she liked Princess Suzy so much, she killed her with her own hands. Although he was for Li You, this also shows that such a man would sacrifice his own woman in the future for some benefit. She concluded that Mamiko Takahashi could not marry Zhang Baogui.

Taro Takahashi was thinking about another problem. He believed that Takahashi Kyumiko's marriage to Li You had brought great benefits to their family from the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Baogui had a close relationship with you, Li You, so there was no need to win him over with Mamiko Takahashi.

Not long ago, Taro Takahashi had already talked with his father about the marriage of Mamiko Takahashi. They planned to marry Mamiko Takahashi to the children of the Tanaka family on Shikoku Island in exchange for their support.

The morning after the banquet, Li You asked about Taro Takahashi's purpose for his trip, and told him that he would report to Li Shimin and then reply to his request.

In the afternoon, Li Lizhi came to inform Li You in person and asked him to take Takahashi Kyumiko and Li Lan to see Li Shimin.
