“Mr. Zhuge, if you really have no problem, then I’ll have to say something else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Zhengwo led Tie Shou and the others out of the room.
"Junior Zhuge Zhengwo pays his respects to Mr. Li."
"Ugh!"
"Don't call me that. I'm only twenty-four this year, a perfectly young man."
"Mr. Zhuge, you are so old, yet you still refer to yourself as a junior. Doesn't that make me sound old?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Zhengwo's expression hardened.
He knew that Li Chengqian was not accepting his identity!
Or rather, I am not yet qualified to call myself a junior in front of Mr. Li.
Just now, Li Qiushui and Wu Xingyun referred to themselves as "Mr. Li" and did not stop them, but when it came to Mr. Li himself, he disagreed.
In terms of martial arts skills, neither Li Qiushui nor the other two combined could match him.
But what can you do when someone has a master who's a cultivator?
"Mr. Li is right, I was being rash."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.
"Speak, what brings you to Ping An Inn this time?"
“You must have been very busy lately. If it weren’t for something important, you probably wouldn’t have been able to find the time to come here.”
"Mr. Li is indeed a man of great wisdom. I have come here today with two requests for you."
"The first thing His Majesty asked me to ask Mr. Li is whether the Song Dynasty royal family has any affinity with immortality."
Upon hearing this, the inn fell silent instantly, and Young Master Huang, who had returned to his room, also came out.
Li Chengqian was extremely knowledgeable about various cultivators and immortals, and his strength was extraordinary.
In this situation, I would never believe that Li Chengqian had no chance of immortality or a method to achieve eternal life.
But knowing this matter is one thing, and even now, it can be traced back to that very moment.
No one has ever asked Mr. Li for the secret to immortality or a connection to the immortals.
The reason is simple: even if Mr. Li has these things, what will you use to exchange them?
What if Mr. Li doesn't give it to me then?
Anyone who dares to ask Mr. Li for a chance to become an immortal must be an extraordinary figure, such as the Song Emperor, one of the six great dynasties.
If Mr. Li refuses, he will be disrespecting the Song Emperor.
Everyone was waiting for Li Chengqian to make his statement. After Zhuge Zhengwo finished asking question 1.3, he remained in a bowing position.
Young Master Huang also looked at Li Chengqian with a meaningful expression.
When I was in the capital, I had subtly asked Li Chengqian if I could achieve immortality.
However, Li Chengqian refused him, and he almost got into a fight with Li Chengqian over this.
Now even the Song emperor has asked this question, and he's doing so while still using his imperial title.
I was very curious about how Li Chengqian would answer.
"do not know!"
"There are countless opportunities for immortality in the world, and whether the Song Dynasty royal family can obtain them depends on their own abilities."
Zhuge Zhengwo's eye twitched. Li Chengqian's answer was exactly what he expected, but His Majesty had also given him a solution when he arrived.
"If the Song Dynasty royal family is not destined, I wonder if we can ask Mr. Li for a better chance?"
Upon hearing this, Young Master Huang narrowed his eyes.
The true colors are revealed; the Song Dynasty is about to unsheathe its blade!
Chapter 363 The pressure from Young Master Huang: Will there be more people in the Bamboo Grove Courtyard?
A crisp sound echoed through the inn.
Li Chengqian decisively rejected Zhuge Zhengwo, or rather, rejected the Song Emperor.
"I'm too lazy to beat around the bush, so I'll just get straight to the point."
"I possess the secret to immortality, and I also have the potential to become an immortal, but I don't want to give it away."
"If one day I give these things away, it will definitely be something I want to give away."
"Someone once asked you the same question, and my answer was pretty much the same as it is today."
“At the time, I told him that we were not destined to be together. He asked if he could pray for a better future. I said that if we were not destined to be together, how could we pray for a better future?”
"then
After saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Zhuge Zhengwo with a mocking expression.
Everyone already guessed who the person Li Chengqian was talking about was, but Young Master Huang of the Tianzi Building remained unfazed. Who would dare say that this person was definitely him?
"I know the Emperor Song's temper."
"If I'm not mistaken, he probably also gave me some threatening instructions."
"There's no need to say anything more; I know what I'm doing."
"Go back and tell the Song Emperor that the Song royal family has no chance of immortality. If they want to force it, then they can come here."
"Although Ping An Inn is small, this small space is not a place where just anyone can run wild."
Even if a celestial being came, he would still have to obediently follow the inn's rules!
After he finished speaking, cold sweat was pouring down Zhuge Zhengwo's forehead.
Because he could already sense the restless swords in the bamboo grove courtyard; these famous swords were resonating because...
It was entirely because it sensed its master's murderous intent.
"Hehehe!"
"Emperor Song has a lot of face to lose, and he always wants to use force. But that's not surprising."
"After all, your Song Dynasty's empire was also seized."
Young Master Huang, who was standing to the side, made a sarcastic remark, and Zhuge Zhengwo immediately retorted.
"Young Master Huang, you are a person of noble status. Saying such things might damage the harmony between the Ming and Song dynasties!"
"Harmony?" Young Master Huang chuckled softly, "What harmony is there between the six great dynasties?"
"More like murderous intent."
"In order to conquer the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty used almost half of its national strength."
"Your Great Song Dynasty, however, took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune."
"The Tang Dynasty is too busy to deal with you right now. After the Sui Dynasty falls, you should think about how to deal with the Tang Dynasty's wrath."
"Furthermore, the Ming Dynasty waged wars year after year in recent years, and your Song Dynasty also took the opportunity to make a fortune."
"As a result, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty and the people were suffering. Emperor Ming always kept this in mind."
"The fall of the Sui Dynasty will surely reignite the flames of war across the Nine Provinces. Without the Sui Dynasty as a shield..."
"The Tang and Han states can advance unimpeded, and the Song court and the martial arts world will be greatly impacted."
"After the power of the Tang and Han dynasties weakened, the ancient Qin dynasty naturally had an opportunity."
"By then, I don't know how many of the six great dynasties or the five great dynasties will still be left."
"But I can guarantee that the first country to be besieged by multiple countries will be your Great Song Dynasty. I just don't know how long you can hold out."
After hearing what Young Master Huang said, Zhuge Zhengwo was drenched in cold sweat.
It was indeed inappropriate to force a connection with immortals at Ping An Inn, but I never expected things to escalate to the point of the Song Dynasty's destruction.
If this matter leads to the downfall of the Song Dynasty, I will be a sinner for all time.
"Alright, Young Master Huang, please don't make things difficult for Mr. Zhuge."
"He was just a messenger."
Li Chengqian pleaded for Zhuge Zhengwo's life, and only after hearing Li Chengqian's words did Young Master Huang give up.
"Alright, we should certainly give Mr. Li face."
"Go back and tell your emperor not to think too highly of himself. He's just an emperor, nothing special."
"Who isn't?"
After saying that, Young Master Huang leisurely returned to his room.
cut!
mock up!
Ping An Inn is on my turf. I haven't even gotten the secret to immortality yet, and you think you can get ahead of me? Dream on.
Young Master Huang returned to his room, while Zhuge Zheng, who was still standing outside, was terrified.
Although he is now King Wu, he still has no say in such matters.
“Mr. Zhuge, you don’t need to take what Young Master Huang just said to heart. This man loves to talk nonsense, so you don’t need to pay attention to him.”
"Didn't you just say you came to Ping An Inn with two things to do?"
"Let's talk about the second thing."
Zhuge Zhengwo: "
That's a bit untrue. I know exactly who Young Master Huang is.
Is there any difference between what he said and what Emperor Ming said?
After a brief internal monologue, Zhuge Zhengwo said, "With Mr. Li's guidance last time, we discovered An Shigeng, the mastermind behind Bianliang."
"But I always felt that there was an even bigger dark force lurking in Bianliang City."
"Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Li to give me some guidance once again."
