Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 227 Thousand Miles of Calling
"boom!"

Li Chengqian slapped the table and shook the teacup on the table to the ground.

His face turned red and he shouted angrily: "Can this king just watch Li Ke succeed in taking the throne?"

"Your Highness, Li Ke is approaching very quickly, you'd better bear with it!"

In the lobby, people from the Guanlong Group comforted him.

After all, Li Chengqian was the nephew of Changsun Wuji, so these people naturally had to take good care of them.

Li Chengqian gave these people a cold look: "At this time, you still persuade me to endure?"

He snorted coldly: "Don't think that this king doesn't know what your plans are!"

"Uncle has already given up on this king! He wants to hold onto this big tree like Li Ke... What are you people still following me? Why don't you go to Sichuan and beg for mercy from that Li Ke?"

The more Li Chengqian talked, the more excited he became, and finally he simply overturned the table.

He was panting heavily, his face was red and white, and he looked furious.

"How... how could it be?"

Officials from Guanlong stepped forward one after another to express their position to Li Chengqian.

"Your Highness, the officials only obey His Highness, and don't pay attention to the King of Shu!"

"That's right, the lower officials only look up to Your Highness, and will never join hands with Li Ke!"

These Guanlong officials had long joined Li Ke's Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Shu, knowing that Li Chengqian had already been defeated.

But in front of Li Chengqian, he had to say a few nice words to coax him.

At this moment, Li Chengqian's face turned pale, and it seemed that the resentment in his heart had eased.

He walked around and scanned the crowd: "Really? Do you really only listen to this king?"

Officials of the Guanlong Group cupped their hands one after another: "Your Highness is the only one to follow!"

"it is good!"

Li Chengqian shouted loudly, then swept around again, and said: "Then Li Ke just made a few small contributions, and the father is so favored and trusted..."

"What he can do, I can naturally do too!"

Li Chengqian squeezed his fist and said: "Since you all listen to this king, then tomorrow, everyone will gather sergeants and let's go to the west to rush him!"

"what?"

The officials of the Guanlong Group turned pale with fright.

To the west, it is Tuyuhun. This is a great overlord in the northwest. He had fought against the Central Plains many times in the Sui Dynasty, but he did not fall into a disadvantage...

Now Li Chengqian wants to lead the army to fight, isn't it too childish...

"Your Highness, do you want to ask Qi Guogong for instructions on this matter?"

These people know that if they directly dissuade them, it will definitely not take effect.

So they brought out Changsun Wuji, hoping that Changsun Wuji could persuade Li Chengqian.

"Hmph! What are you saying that only the king is right? Do you still need to ask uncle for instructions on such a trivial matter?"

Li Chengqian snorted coldly and cursed angrily.

"This……"

The officials of the Guanlong Group hesitated, but Li Chengqian was firm, and it was not easy for them to refuse directly.

"Okay! Since you don't agree, I will take the guards out of the city tomorrow. I believe that things can be done without relying on you bastards!"

Li Chengqian kicked on the table again, as if he was about to leave.

"Oh... Your Highness, don't be impatient!"

Officials of the Guanlong Group stepped forward one after another and stopped Li Chengqian.

His guards were only a few hundred people, if he really wanted to attack Tuyuhun, he would definitely die.

Although Changsun Wuji no longer supports Li Chengqian's seizure of the heir apparent, they are still nephew and uncle...

If Li Chengqian died in the hands of Tuyuhun, the officials of the Guanlong Group would have to bear the wrath of Changsun Wuji.

"Your Highness, then...then we will follow you..."

Helpless, these officials could only agree.

"Okay! Let's gather soldiers and horses this afternoon, and we will go out of the city tomorrow to conquer Tuyuhun!"

Li Chengqian changed his face quickly, as if nothing happened just now.

At this time, he announced the general order, forcing those members of the Guanlong Group to smile wryly.

After leaving the palace, these officials discussed separately how to deal with this matter.

"Quickly, report this matter to Chang'an and let Qi Guogong handle it!"

A while later, a fast horse set off from Liangzhou to Chang'an.

At the same time, outside the city of Chang'an, a convoy was heading south all the way, towards Shu.

In the convoy, there were two carriages inlaid with gold and jade driving in the very center, and in these two carriages sat the two princes of the current dynasty——Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin.

This time they were ordered to go to Shu to announce Li Shimin's edict to Li Ke.

Shu is a thousand miles away from Chang'an, so even if you travel quickly, it will take ten days.

This team has been going to call, naturally it is not a rush march, the team is swaying, stop and go, and has been walking for more than a month before arriving at Chengdu Mansion.

"Hey! This Chengdu Mansion is quite lively!"

In Changsun Wuji's carriage, Cheng Yaojin leaned carelessly on the carriage, muttering.

Cheng Yaojin is a military general and the hardcore core of the Shu Royal Party.

Logically speaking, he was very unkind to Changsun Wuji.

Although they are both members of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Shu now, Cheng Yaojin is the elder, and Changsun Wuji joined later.

Coupled with the years of fighting with the Guanlong Group, the relationship between the two is indeed not very good.

Cheng Yaojin originally didn't want to talk to Changsun Wuji, but the journey was too long.

On such a long journey, only Zhangsun Wuji can talk to him, so he can only chat with Zhangsun Wuji to relieve his boredom.

Changsun Wuji was able to bear it, and stayed in the carriage.

Cheng Yaojin yelled across the carriage at first, but later, he ran directly into Changsun Wuji's carriage, forcing Changsun Wuji to complain.

Cheng Yaojin is born with a thick skin. No matter how much you complain, I will not let go.

Along the way, listening to Changsun Wuji's nagging, and the two quarreled with each other a few words, which relieved a lot of boredom.

As soon as he arrived in Sichuan, Cheng Yaojin was completely dumbfounded.

The prosperity of this Chengdu mansion is even more prosperous than that of Chang'an.

The street, the pedestrians, and the street vendors made Cheng Yaojin speechless.

"This Chengdu Mansion is really extraordinary!"

Changsun Wuji, who had always been calm, also stroked his beard and sighed.

Cheng Yaojin patted his belly and laughed loudly: "This King of Shu is really amazing. In his hands, Chengdu Mansion has completely changed!"

He lay back in the carriage again, squinted his eyes and sighed: "Oh! This Chengdu mansion is so prosperous, it seems that I, Old Cheng, don't have to face you all day long..."

Changsun Wuji turned his face to the side: "If it weren't for me, an old man, I'm afraid you would be suffocated to death on the road..."

"Ha ha!"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head again and again: "What are you talking about? I am afraid that you will be bored on the road, so I came here specially to relieve your boredom! Are you afraid of being bored?"

He has always been so thick-skinned that he doesn't blush when he tells a lie.

Changsun Wuji turned his face away: "I don't know who ran into my carriage, but I don't mind the smell of it staining my carriage!"

These words made Cheng Yaojin blush again, and he scolded with a straight neck:

"Changsun Wuji, it's fair to say that you are weak, so you don't have the same knowledge as you. Don't push yourself too hard!"

The two quarreled with each other again, and then rushed all the way to the inn, holding their necks.
