Chapter 211 Persuasion (First Issue)
"You're crazy."
Li Zhengba looked at Jiang Xia for a full minute and said three words.
Jiang Xia smiled without any unnecessary explanation for his words.
Seeing Jiang Xia’s serious expression, Li Zhiba couldn’t help but say, “Do you know what you are talking about? There was a female emperor in your Ming Dynasty?”
Jiang Xia snarled, "How is it? I have no knowledge, right? Haven't you heard of Wu Zetian?"
"Wu Zetian? What is that?"
Jiang Xia rolled her eyes, "The female emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"Is there really a woman who is the emperor?" Li Zhiba was stunned for a moment. He felt a little confused about his mind for the first time, and even tried to ask Jiang Xia.
"Do you think if I really help Princess Annan ascend the throne of the king, is this considered to be sorry for the ancestors of the Annan royal family?"
Jiang Xia looked at Li Zhiba deeply, and he asked Li Zhiba with a serious expression: "In your heart, how can you be worthy of the ancestors of Annan Kingdom?"
"Make sure that the royal throne does not fall into the hands of people from other families, and ensure that the Annan territory is not invaded by foreign tribes." Li Zhibadao.
Jiang Xia nodded, "Not only that, but also ensure that the people of Annan can live and work in peace and prosperity, and that Annan can prosper. What do you think?"
"I am just a martial artist. I can't do it if I can make the people of Annan live and work in peace and make the country prosperous."
"You can't do it, but Ru Liu can do it. If she lets her sit on the throne, is it considered that the throne falls into the hands of people from other families? Will the country be invaded by foreign tribes? No, and I don't believe you don't understand Ru Liu's abilities at all. She is smart and kind-hearted, and she has the more kingly demeanor and courage than Li Junren and Pei Xianlin.
I don’t understand, if you don’t sit on the throne, who else can you support besides Ruliu?”
Jiang Xia’s questioning sentence has a small trick, called “If you don’t sit on the throne.” This sentence directly sealed the idea of Li Zhengba himself as the king.
Li Zhengba was stunned again and again. He looked at Jiang Xia and felt more and more that what Jiang Xia said was very reasonable.
After a long time, Li Zhengba suddenly smiled and said, "The people of Annan say that the Ming people are the most polite, and even dead people can say they live. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it. Congratulations, you have convinced me."
"Ha." Jiang Xia immediately smiled, and he stretched out his right hand to Li Zhengba and said, "Don't worry, I promise you will not regret your choice today. Ru Liu will definitely be a good king."
Li Zhengba slammed him and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no need to say these words. Since I promised to help you, I will never go back on my word. Tell me, what should I do next?"
"It's not OK to rely on you alone, but I will take you out of the water prison first, and then you can quickly gather your troops and wait for me to give you a signal."
"Okay, then take me out quickly. I am about to get sick here."
"Then I asked you to go out just now, don't you go out?"
"You kid are so cunning. If I don't understand your purpose, I'm afraid I will be sold by you."
"Hahaha" Jiang Xia suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Is this a compliment?"
Li Zhengba clenched his fists and said, "If you ask me to punch twice, even if I surrender to give you a massage."
No one could see Yin Ren's face disguised as Li Junren. This magical disguise technique made Li Zhengba amazed repeatedly.
Jiang Xia and Yu Ren used a chain to pretend to lock Li Zhengba, and then escorted him out of the prison.
When he first came out, there was a prison guard asking, and Yin Ren had limited expressions in Annan, so he only said one word: "Get out!"
Suddenly, no jailer dared to come forward to ask what was going on.
After successfully leaving the water prison, Jiang Xia and the others did not dare to delay and took Li Zhengba to Nanling Temple. Now that Shenglong Mansion has been martial law, it is not easy for Jiang Xia and the others to leave the city. The only person who can find help is Li Tianyou, the King of Xiaoyao.
Jiang Xia and Li Ruliu accompanied Li Zhengba to the Xiaoyao Palace.
Li Tianyou only had eight thousand days of You's personal army, which was not a threat to Li Junren or Pei Xianlin. So no one touched him.
After all, everyone knows that Li Tianyou is destined to die early. He is just a prince who recites poetry and painting all day long. Before he formally intervenes in the fight for the throne, no one is willing to provoke him.
After all, no matter what era it is, the most terrifying thing is the one who wants to live.
Shenglong Mansion has been in trouble, but the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion is still stable. The people in the royal mansion are restricted from going out for the time being. Except for drinking and eating meat, life is no different from the past.
At this moment, Li Tianyou was standing behind the long table beside the window of his study, holding a paintbrush in hand and painting.
After finishing the painting, Li Tianyou seemed to be very satisfied with his painting. He straightened up and looked at his words, and there was a hint of intoxication in his eyes.
Because this matter is very important, Jiang Xia and Li Zhengba did not choose to let someone inform Li Tianyou, but directly climbed over the wall and entered the Xiaoyao Palace.
He grabbed a guard and asked where Li Tianyou was. Jiang Xia, Li Ruliu and Li Zhengba went straight to Li Tianyou's study.
"Bang!" Li Zhengba pushed open the door of the study and walked in. After seeing Li Tianyou, he smiled and said, "He's here."
Jiang Xia and Li Ruliu followed into the study.
Li Ruliu called out: "Uncle Xiaoyao."
Jiang Xia bowed and shouted: "Prince."
The three of them suddenly broke in and obviously scared Li Tianyou. He hurriedly packed up the paintings on the desk.
Jiang Xia's eyes drooped, glanced slightly, then frowned secretly, and then stretched out.
Li Tianyou asked the three of them calmly: "Why are you here? King Guannan, you are not already?"
"Uncle Wang, I came here this time to ask you to escort Uncle Guannan out of the city." Li Ruliu said.
Li Tianyou glanced at Li Ruliu and asked with a little surprise: "Send King Guannan out of the city?"
"What? You don't want to?" Li Zhengba asked.
Li Tianyou shook his head, "No, since Ruliu spoke to me, I will definitely help. But the city gate has been very strict recently, and you may have to be wronged if you want to go out."
"What kind of wronged law?" Li Zhengba asked.
“Take the waterway and dive out.”
When Li Zhengba heard this, he screamed, "You know I am not familiar with water."
Li Tianyou glanced at Li Zhengba lightly and said lightly: "Don't worry, I guarantee that I won't drown you."
Seeing that Li Tianyou was willing to help, Jiang Xia said, "Then I'll give you this to the prince. I still have important things to do, so I'll take a step first."
"You can leave, but Ruliu might as well stay in the palace first. It's too dangerous outside." Li Tianyou said.
Li Ruliu looked at Jiang Xia and shook her head and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wang, for your kindness, but Ruliu still has important things to do, so"
Li Tianyou nodded, not forcing him.
After Jiang Xia and Li Ruliu left the Xiaoyao Palace together, Li Ruliu asked Jiang Xia in confusion: "Why did you just hint me that I didn't want to stay in the palace?"
Jiang Xia looked at Li Ruliu and smiled and said, "If I say I don't want you to leave me, do you believe it?"
Li Ruliu looked at Jiang Xia quietly, and after a while she said, "You said, I believe it."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and did not continue talking.
After the two walked a distance, Li Ruliu said: "Now King Guannan has joined us according to your plan. What should we do next?"
"King Guannan is the most prestigious person in the Annan Army. With his support, things are equal to half of success, and the other half is on Pei Xianlin."
"Mr. Annan? Will he help us?" Li Ruliu asked in surprise.
Jiang Xia smiled and said to himself: "Whether he will help us depends on whether the gossip of the palace maids in the palace is true or false."
After saying that, Jiang Xia speeded up.
At night, Pei Xianlin sat in the west room of his Annan Gong Mansion and drank alone.
Logically speaking, as the owner of Annan Gong Mansion, Pei Xianlin should have lived in the east wing, and he should not have lived in the west wing.
The west wing is usually where the women in the mansion live.
However, anyone who knows that Pei Xianlin is currently in the room where the queen lived when she was still in the palace.
Pei Xianlin still remembers that since he became sensible, he has always regarded Xiangyu as his future wife.
The two of them grew up together, kissed and touched their hands in this room.
What Pei Xianlin regrets the last step that she did not take with Xiangyu. If she left early, she would not have been forced to the palace by Li Zhen.
Pei Xianlin worked hard for half a lifetime and fought for half a lifetime. The purpose was to enhance his strength so that he could pick Pei Xiangyu upright from the palace in his lifetime and let her stay by his side for the rest of his life.
But now, Pei Xiangyu has been held hostage by Li Junren again. When Pei Xianlin thinks of this, he feels useless and has never had the ability to truly protect Pei Xiangyu.
Pei Xianlin pushed the window open, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said firmly: "Xiangyu, I will definitely bring you out of the palace. I will not let you leave me. I will definitely protect you well, I swear."
"The queen is so important. Having her here means she will control you forever. How could Li Junren let her go easily?"
"Ah" Pei Xianlin was startled, and two people suddenly appeared outside his window.
After looking closely, Pei Xianlin then took a breath and shouted: "Jiang Xia?"
"What? The cold and cold man didn't invite me into the house to sit?"
Pei Xianlin glanced at Jiang Xia and said, "You broke into my mansion and I didn't even settle the score with you. He even asked me to invite you into the house? Do I know you very well? Let's go quickly, I feel like this."
"Not good." Before Pei Xianlin could say the two words, he followed Jiang Xia, and the man wearing a black veiled hat lifted his veil.
Pei Xianlin was stunned for a moment and shouted blankly: "Xiang Xiangyu?"
