Chapter 163 Li Ke and Songtsen Gampo Depart
"Let's go."
After Cui Shenji's persistent persuasion, Wei Shuyu finally softened.
What kind of behavior is it to keep your own underling locked up all day?
"Shandao, shall we go together?"
After finishing his exercise, Wei Shuyu asked Qin Shandao.
"Big brother, you're not going to trick me again, are you?"
Qin Shandao was traumatized by the scam.
Ever since his last trip to the military camp, Yu Chi Xiang has been going to his house every day.
Qin Qiong naturally welcomed him with a smile.
Yuchi Gong's youngest daughter—a perfect match!
They had even planned to get engaged to Yuchi Gong in a few days.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "Wouldn't it be better if I found you a wife?"
"not good."
Um?
Wei Shuyu turned to look at Qin Shandao.
"Big brother, don't you always say that..."
Qin Shandao, imitating Wei Shuyu, stood up straight and said with a smug look on his face, "Women will only slow down my speed of drawing my gun."
That makes perfect sense.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head again.
Have you ever seen a gun?
"Aren't there spears on the weapon rack?"
"The guns I'm referring to are rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, sniper rifles..."
What kind of gun is that?
*Smack*
Choi Shin-ki raised his hand and smacked Qin Shan-dao on the head, scolding him: "Whatever you say goes. If you keep arguing, I'll beat you up again."
"..."
Qin Shandao covered his head in grievance: "Brother Jiji, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that you can't beat me."
"..."
Choi Shin-ki felt that his self-esteem had been insulted.
Snap snap snap...
Choi Shin-ki unleashed a series of consecutive shots.
"Brother Jiji, if you hit me again, I'll fight back!"
"Stop! I really fought back!"
"I fought back."
Bang.
A punch was thrown.
Choi Shin-ki's other eye also turned into a panda eye.
That's perfect now.
It really turned into a panda.
You dare to hit me?
Choi Shin-ki was furious.
"Punching was not my intention."
Qin Shandao shook his head repeatedly: "I just thought one of your eyes was asymmetrical, but it looks much better now."
"..."
Choi Shin-ki went berserk.
They bared their teeth and brandished their claws, determined to kill Qin Shandao.
Fortunately, Wei Shuyu stopped him...
"Xiao Shan, come here and apologize."
Wei Shuyu sternly reprimanded, "Xiao Jiji is still your brother. He takes such good care of you. How could you lay a hand on him?"
"Brother Jiji, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Qin Shandao sincerely apologized and even bowed.
Just as Choi Shin-ki was about to generously forgive Jin Seon-do, Jin Seon-do blurted out another sentence...
"I really think it looks good."
Damn it.
Choi Shin-ki was furious, the kind of fury that couldn't be stopped.
Wei Shuyu remained silent.
They're all problem children.
The best way to deal with problem children is...
Bang bang.
Wei Shuyu rewarded Qin Shandao with two punches, and Qin Shandao ended up with panda eyes.
alright.
The world is quiet.
The two of them became good brothers again, arm in arm.
I feel embarrassed to have panda eyes.
If we all have panda eyes, then we'll all lose face.
We're in the same boat, now I feel better!
Set off.
The three of them enthusiastically launched a rescue operation!
The Liang State Duke's Mansion is located in Wubenfang.
As the prime minister, Fang Xuanling's residence was very close to the palace, right next to the imperial city gate (Anshang Gate).
It's not far from the Wei residence either, just one block away, and around the corner.
As Wei Shuyu and his two companions turned the corner and arrived at the edge of Anshang Gate, they happened to see Songtsen Gampo walking out of the palace.
"Big Brother, something's up?"
"Big brother, are you up to something?"
The two started vying to speak.
What's going on?
Wei Shuyu was utterly speechless: "Look at the state you two have become! Do you even have the face to show yourselves to anyone?"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately covered their faces with brocade.
"Wei Shuyu!"
Songtsen Gampo was about to mount his horse when he saw Wei Shuyu and walked over.
"Songtsen Gampo".
Wei Shuyu bowed slightly.
"I never thought I would lose to you," Songtsen Gampo sighed.
"This should be what you expected, right?" Wei Shuyu raised an eyebrow.
Songtsen Gampo responded with a meaningful smile.
"Have you returned to Tibet?" Wei Shuyu asked.
"Um."
"Was the attack on Princess Chang Le something you secretly planned?" Wei Shuyu suddenly asked.
Do you think I'll answer?
“You are Songtsen Gampo, you should not stoop to lying.”
"But I can choose not to answer."
"You didn't plan it, but you received the message, otherwise you wouldn't have happened to be there!"
Why do you say that?
"If someone attacks the princess, will the king personally come to her rescue?"
Wei Shuyu smiled and said, "Even if you were willing to step in, would your loyal guards agree?"
Swish.
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the two people beside Songtsen Gampo changed drastically.
This is true.
Just like in the Tang Dynasty, when an unknown situation arose ahead, there would inevitably be a vanguard general to scout ahead.
How could Li Shimin possibly charge straight at them on horseback?
Even if Li Shimin were willing, his civil and military officials would not agree!
"Guess whatever you want."
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm leaving soon."
"Don't you want Yang Tong anymore?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
"It's nothing more than what's already in my pocket."
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go. If we keep talking, I might not be able to leave the Tang Dynasty."
"Wei Shuyu, you were able to defeat me this time only because you had the advantage of popular support and geographical advantage!"
"I'll wait for the day you become an envoy to Tibet. At that time, I, the Zanpu, will personally settle the score!"
After saying this, Songtsen Gampo mounted his horse and rode away...
What's in the bag?
Watching Songtsen Gampo's departing figure, Wei Shuyu narrowed his eyes.
Songtsen Gampo's challenge to the Tang Dynasty was destined to end in defeat!
The true talents of the Imperial Academy did not make a move; they were restrained. Otherwise, how could a foreigner possibly overthrow the entire Imperial Academy?
This step should have been part of Songtsen Gampo's plan.
I just don't know what his ultimate goal is...
"Wei Shuyu".
Just as the three were about to enter Wubenfang, another sound came from afar.
Turning his head, he saw that Li Ke was also leading a group of people.
"King of Shu".
The three of them cupped their hands in a respectful gesture.
When Li Ke saw Cui Shenji and Qin Shandao, his expression remained strange for a while.
How annoying must someone be to get beaten up like this?
"You have the eyesight of Shenmu?"
Choi Shin-ki immediately became unhappy: "Believe it or not, I'll have the Supreme Court beat you up?"
Li Ke was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.
Don't misunderstand.
Li Ke waved his hand: "I have some excellent wound medicine that can speed up recovery."
Li Ke waved his hand, and immediately one of his men handed him two bottles of wound medicine.
We appreciate the King of Shu's kindness.
Wei Shuyu refused, saying, "It's just a bruise. I think an egg is more effective."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Li Ke's eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Wei Shuyu's decisive victory over the court officials had already caught Li Shimin's eye.
In addition, there was the presence of Wei Zheng.
To a certain extent, Wei Shuyu already possessed the qualifications to participate in politics.
What is political participation?
When the ministers propose a motion, if Wei Shuyu opposes it, the ministers should be cautious!
Through his involvement in the commercial activities, Wei Shuyu had established his political capabilities.
However, due to his low official rank, he could not participate in all political affairs.
But Wei Shuyu can appear in the court at any time if he wants!
With Li Shimin and Wei Zheng in agreement, who would dare to object?
"That's good..."
Li Ke smiled nonchalantly: "If you need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you, King of Shu."
Wei Shuyu cupped his hands in greeting: "Where is the King of Shu heading?"
Where to?
Li Ke gazed into the distance, a hint of melancholy in his eyes: "He's gone to take up his post..."
Wei Shuyu was stunned.
That's when I remembered Li Ke's deeds.
In the seventh year of the Zhenguan era, Li Ke was appointed as the military governor of the seven prefectures of Qi, Zi, Qing, Ju, Lai, and Mi, and the prefect of Qi Prefecture.
In the past, it was all done remotely, with dedicated officials managing it, so there was no need to travel far.
Now that they've reached a certain age, these princes all have to leave the capital, and Li Ke must leave as well...
"Wishing the King of Shu a safe journey."
Wei Shuyu readily accepted the offer this time.
"Enough said, let's meet again when I return..."
