Chapter 376 A secret confrontation with the general!
Li Changsheng had just agreed with Yu Rou on the plan to have a baby in the evening.
Suddenly, he heard his personal soldiers coming to report in a hurry.
It is said that General Xiao Tiangui has brought people here.
Upon hearing the news, everyone in Handan City was shocked.
They all came to the conclusion that Xiao Tiangui had ill intentions.
No matter what, he cannot be allowed to enter the city.
However, Li Changsheng holds the opposite view.
He planned not only to let Xiao Tiangui enter the city.
I have to go and greet him in person.
After making up his mind, Li Changsheng led the officials of all ranks in Handan City and took the initiative to go out of the city to welcome him, giving Xiao Tiangui enough respect.
Moreover, when Li Changsheng saw Xiao Tiangui, he was very enthusiastic, as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.
Xiao Tiangui is indeed an old fox in the officialdom. He responds to every word Li Changsheng says and never lets the words fall on deaf ears.
But just when the two of them were praising each other's business and having a great time.
Xiao Tiangui suddenly changed the subject, revealing his true intentions.
"By the way, Chief Li, I recently heard a rumor that you are not a real eunuch, but Lao Ai of Dawu. I wonder if this is true or not?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
When he heard Xiao Tiangui say this out of the blue, his expression couldn't help but slightly freeze.
Old fox, go back and ask your daughter whether I am a real eunuch!
"General, since you say it's a rumor, then it's naturally groundless and can't be taken seriously!"
"I think so too. Anyone who spreads such rumors deserves death!"
Although Xiao Tiangui said this, his eyes still inadvertently swept towards Li Changsheng's lower body.
Those eagle-like eyes seemed to see through everything.
Li Changsheng felt inexplicably frightened by Xiao Tiangui's vicious eyes.
Although Xiao Yufei has promised to keep the matter confidential.
But no matter what, Xiao Tiangui is her father.
What's more, Xiao Ziyan had already doubted her identity.
Therefore, he was not sure whether Xiao Tiangui really knew that he was a fake eunuch?
If the other party has solid evidence and wants to reveal his true intentions, how should you respond?
At this moment, Pang Wei suddenly knelt down and was about to take the blame.
His sudden action shocked Xiao Tiangui and Li Changsheng.
Li Changsheng hurried forward and helped him up.
"Mr. Pang, why are you doing this?"
Pang Wei gathered his thoughts and briefly recounted how he fabricated rumors and planned to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Moreover, he secretly pointed the finger at Xiao Tiangui.
After hearing this, Xiao Tiangui felt a little guilty.
After all, he had also tried the scheme of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
[Yan Qing] is the information about Li Changsheng, and he was the one who took the initiative to reveal it to Zhao Wuji and the others.
Li Changsheng glanced at the faces of Xiao Tiangui and others, then deliberately cleared his throat and spoke.
"Mr. Pang, I've already said it before, the past is over, no one will bring up the past again!"
"Those who bring up past grievances are like this stone lion!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the words to fall to the ground, he suddenly used his internal energy and slapped the stone lion on the head.
All I heard was a muffled "boom" sound.
The stone lion, which was as tall as a man, suddenly broke into pieces and splattered everywhere.
"hiss!"
Seeing such a horrifying scene, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Even Xiao Tiangui, who had seen countless geniuses, was secretly amazed at this moment.
It seems that the rumors are true, Li Changsheng has been promoted to a heavenly grandmaster.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to kill Zhao Wuji.
At only twenty years old, he had already broken through the shackles of life and death and advanced to the rank of Heavenly Grandmaster.
Such a monster is so terrifying!
After a moment of amazement, Xiao Tiangui thought again about the standards his granddaughter wanted in finding a husband.
In terms of both literary and military strategy, he is better than Li Changsheng.
Now it seems that if we use this standard.
His precious granddaughter was destined to die in seclusion and never get married.
Li Changsheng smashed the stone lion to show his attitude.
Xiao Tiangui also cooperated very tacitly and never mentioned those rumors.
After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Tiangui, under the influence of alcohol, asked with a smile:
"Butler Li, now that Jiang Kuanglong and Prince Zhao have both been eliminated by His Majesty, is it now our Xiao family's turn?"
Li Changsheng was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Xiao Tiangui would ask so directly.
"General, you are drunk. Jiang Kuanglong plotted a mutiny, and the King of Zhao rebelled. Your Majesty had no choice but to eliminate them."
"But you, Great General, are different. You are a loyal minister who has suppressed rebellion and supported the country. You are the white jade pillar that supports the sky and the purple gold beam that spans the sea. Your Majesty is fine, why would you attack you?"
Xiao Tiangui said, "Master Li, I'm worried about His Majesty. Do you think my achievements are too great and I'll be an eyesore?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
So you know that your achievements are so great that they threaten your master!
"General, this kind of over-achievement is indeed a problem. I have a solution. Do you think it's feasible?"
Xiao Tiangui asked with great interest, "What method?"
Li Changsheng said: "Hand over the military power!"
Xiao Tiangui said drunkenly, "Boss Li, if I hand over my military power, I'm afraid my entire family will be destroyed!"
Li Changsheng vowed, "General, as long as you are willing to hand over your military power, I guarantee that the Xiao family will continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth!"
Xiao Tiangui shook his head and said bluntly, "You are not His Majesty. I don't trust your promise!"
Li Changsheng: "..."
"Then there is another way!"
Xiao Tiangui asked, "Is there any other way?"
Li Changsheng blurted out: "Self-defilement!"
"Self-defilement?"
Xiao Tiangui couldn't figure it out for a while, and didn't know what kind of self-desecration method it was?
Li Changsheng said, "General, you should know the famous pre-Qin general Wang Jian, right?"
Xiao Tiangui said, "Of course I know. What does this have to do with Wang Jian?"
Li Changsheng asked, "General, do you know how Wang Jian, leading an army of 600,000 to destroy Chu, dispelled the King of Qin's concerns?"
Xiao Tiangui asked tentatively, "Are you talking about self-pollution?"
Li Changsheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Wang Jian constantly asked the King of Qin for money, land, and beauties. This is to show that he is greedy and lustful by nature, and has no intention of rebellion!"
After listening to Li Changsheng's story, Xiao Tiangui suddenly realized.
After a while, his eyes, as sharp as an eagle, stared at Li Changsheng again.
"Master Li, you are His Majesty's favorite and a trusted confidant."
"If I follow your method and defile myself, not only will it be impossible to dispel the suspicion that His Majesty has towards me, I'm afraid it will even lead to His Majesty misunderstanding me and thinking I have treasonous intentions, right?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
