Chapter 041 Turning enemies into friends
Pi Erding heard that Li Zaixing and Li Mi were walking with him at that time. It would be no lie to say that he had friends in the officialdom. Although Li Mi was a white man, the Li family was a serious family of officials. Moreover, Li Mi himself was a talented man who was deeply loved by the emperor. No one knew that one day he would enter the official career and rise to the top.
Pi Erding then changed his face, pretended to pick up the slave on the case and took a look, kicked Hu Shang to the ground, and cursed: "You shameless Hu'er, dare to buy and sell good people in the West Market, violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and break the rules of the West Market? Don't say much, and talk to my official!"
When Hu Shang heard Li Zaixing talk to Pi Erding, he knew something was wrong. But at that time he didn't know how big Li Zaixing was. Li Zaixing's accent was obviously not a native of Chang'an, and he was not gorgeous in his body. At first glance, he looked like a family background. Even the golfer was a hero with no status, so it was most suitable to find Er Ding, a local snake in the West City to deal with it. Later, he heard that the more he talked, he also mentioned Wei Sanlang. He knew that it was broken. This young man who was not showing off his mountains and water was not worthy of being provoked by himself.
So, when he saw Pi Erding getting angry, he immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic. While asking people to prepare wine and food, he asked someone to take out the money that Li Zaixing redeemed Almaddy and his weapons and armor yesterday, and returned it with both hands, and put it on fifty taels as compensation.
Li Zaixing was not polite, and hooked his finger at Julia: "Take it, buy something you like, and buy two clothes for Almaddy. I'm waiting for you here."
Seeing that Li Zaixing had collected the money but refused to leave, Pi Erding thought that Li Zaixing would not give up and was quite nervous. Li Zaixing waved his hand and said, "My brothers are righteous and have been asked back with justice, so I will naturally give up. However, since this is Wei Sanlang's territory, I must disturb him for a while. Please invite him. I have something to discuss with him."
Pi Erding breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked his subordinates to take Zhu Liya to shop and accompany Li Zaixing to drink. He was very comfortable and thoughtful in his work, but he tasted too ugly. He said that he was polite to swallow it, and he was reincarnated as a hungry ghost. He ate it with both hands and was dripping with soup.
Li Zaixing was stunned and put down his chopsticks awkwardly.
Pi Erding finished sweeping the wine and food on the table, and then he realized that the guests had not moved much, almost all of them had eaten by themselves. He was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he stuttered. He was so stuttering that he didn't know what to say. At this time, Wei Yingwu strode in. Seeing this, he raised his hand and whipped Pi Erding on his shoulder, and cursed with a smile: "Foodies, I'll be embarrassed, why don't you get out of here!"
Pi Erding got up, laughed, and stood aside.
"What's the big deal about Brother Li's asking me for?" Wei Yingwu looked around, pinched his nose, and frowned slightly: "Let's change the other place, it's too smelly. Brother Li, I'll take you to the best Hu Ji wine shop in the West City for wine. It's authentic grape wine luminous cup. Hu Ji in the dough is also as beautiful as a flower, and it's much more eye-catching than the unscrupulous merchants who are so annoying to see."
Li Zaixing laughed and followed Wei Yingwu out, walked through the bustling market, came to the wine restaurant, and entered a hotel run by Hu Ji. As Wei Yingwu said, when Hu Ji was beautiful, he came up as soon as he saw Wei Yingwu. The sound of orioles filled his ears, his eyes and blond hair were filled with colorful lights, making people dazzling and beautiful.
Under the guidance of the Hu Ji, Li Zaixing and Wei Yingwu went to the second floor to the private room side by side. Li Zaixing asked Lu Hu and Al Maddy to wait outside and brought the door of the private room. Lu Hu frowned slightly when he saw it, but said nothing, and guarded the door of the private room with Al Maddy. Al Maddy placed two scimitars on the table, his face was cold and depressed, and his appearance was as if he was idle, and he immediately scared away many wanderers.
Wei Yingwu looked at Li Zaixing with a smile and touched his chin: "Brother Li, you are..."
"I want to deal with Wang Zhun." Li Zaixing said straight to the point: "Are you interested in playing together?"
The smile on Wei Yingwu's face froze. He stared at Li Zaixing for a moment, and his face gradually became serious. He sat opposite Li Zaixing, playing with the luminous cup full of wine, and was silent for a long time: "You should know that Wang Zhun's father, Wang Hui, is now the Holy Junzheng."
"I know, I also know that Wang Hui is Li Linfu's capable minion."
Wei Yingwu glanced at him: "You want to mess with him, it's not that because of yesterday's conflict, right?"
"Why not? I'm not as complicated as you think, and I don't think so much about doing things. If I get used to it, I sit down and drink. If I don't like it, I slap him in a big mouth." Li Zaixing laughed and smiled disapprovingly: "I don't like that guy's face, so I want to deal with him."
"This is not that simple..."
"This is very simple." Li Zaixing interrupted Wei Yingwu: "I know what you are worried about is nothing more than fearing Wang Hui's revenge. Since that's the case, if you don't do it, you'll just kill Wang Hui, which can be regarded as eliminating the harm for the people. Li Linfu values Wang Hui, just because Wang Hui can help him do things. If Wang Hui dies, will he avenge Wang Hui?"
Wei Yingwu took a breath and looked at Li Zaixing in disbelief. Wang Hui is the chief of the Censorate, the third rank, and Wang Zhun is the Shaoqing of the Weiwei. From the fourth rank, Li Zaixing will kill him as soon as he says it, and he will be calm and gentle, and it seems that he doesn't take it seriously at all.
If this person either treats human life like grass, he is born with the destiny of a general, and determines life and death in his hands.
Thinking of Li Zaixing killing his three followers without blinking, Wei Yingwu was both nervous and a little inexplicably excited.
He is not a desperate like Li Zaixing. Even though he is a ranger, he is also a hero with a high level, knowing who can provoke and who cannot provoke. As one of the few families in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Yingwu had to consider the pros and cons behind this. It is precisely because of this that he is excited.
The Wei family and Wang Hui's supporter Li Linfu have a grudge. The Wei family has been trying to get rid of Li Linfu for a long time, but they have not found a chance. Now if they have the chance to get rid of Li Linfu's right-hand man Wang Hui, and even have the chance to implicate the matter on Li Linfu, how could he let it go easily?
Wei Yingwu thought for a long time: "Does Li Mi know?"
Li Zaixing raised his eyebrows and showed an unhappy look: "Li Mi doesn't know, so you don't dare?"
Wei Yingwu understood and smiled concealedly: "No, I'm just asking. What is Brother Li planning to do?"
...
Not long after, the Julia sisters came back excitedly. They bought a handy weapon. The two scimitars with beautiful patterns on them and quaint scabbards, which were obviously not ordinary at first glance.
"Good knife!" Wei Yingwu blurted out and praised.
"This man is also a person who knows the goods." Hestia smiled and showed off her scimitar and held the scimitar in front of Li Zaixing: "This is a treasure sword made by a famous craftsman in the City of Heaven, which can cut gold and jade."
"City of Heaven?" Li Zaixing was puzzled: "Which city is it?"
Julia explained: "Oh, you Tang people called Damascus, and we Western people called it the city of heaven."
Li Zaixing was surprised. The sword made by the famous craftsman of Damagua was a real one. These two girls were lucky enough to get such a sword? He picked it up and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, it was indeed a worthy sword. The faint patterns in the blade were like clouds all over the sky, but it was also full of murderous aura.
Wei Yingwu also praised: "Good knife, good knife, such a good knife, I have never seen such a good knife."
"That's because we are different." Hestia raised her eyebrows proudly, carefully putting the knife into the sheath, standing with her sword, with a hint of playfulness in her vibrancy. "We are Ahura's guardian angels, and we are worthy of such a good sword."
Wei Yingwu's eyes suddenly became straight.
"Yeah!" Li Zaixing waved his hand, interrupted Juliya, who was still planning to show the armor he had just bought, and signaled them to wait outside. Hestia stuck out her tongue, turned around and carried the package out.
"Brother Li, where did you get these two beauties?" Wei Yingwu rubbed his eyes hard: "That Elmie is already a rare blonde oriole, these two twin girls are even more exquisite."
"It's just two maids, not as exaggerated as you said." Li Zaixing snorted disapprovingly: "Hurry up, are you interested in doing something? If you are not interested, I'll go find someone else."
"Damn!" Wei Yingwu slapped the table and was passionate: "I have long disliked the bird man. Since Brother Li is willing to eliminate harm for the people, how can I watch?"
Li Zaixing laughed. He originally wanted to join Wei Yingwu, but he didn't expect it would be so smooth. He actually met Wei Yingwu in the western market. He didn't know much about the situation of the Wei family, but he heard Li Mi say that the first prince's concubine, Wei's brother and sister, was born by Li Linfu. Wei Wen died and Wei Wei was forced to become a monk. It would be unreasonable to say that the Wei family did not want to deal with Li Linfu.
Just like dealing with Li Mi, he didn't need to make it too clear. Children of aristocratic families like Wei Yingwu will naturally think deeper. Don't look at Wei Yingwu pretending to be a rogue, the children of aristocratic families are children of aristocratic families after all, and their way of thinking is far from that of ordinary people. Li Zaixing has already deeply understood this on the way to Chang'an.
What Li Mi told him was not only the art of military affairs. Perhaps Li Mi himself did not pay attention to it. The Chang'an news he and Li Zaixing said would allow Li Zaixing to have a preliminary understanding of the Tang Dynasty in advance. He would not have thought that although Li Zaixing lived with his master in Prajna Temple since he was a child, his life was not simple at all, but rather complicated as he could not imagine. Li Zaixing got far more things from his intentional or unintentional narrative than he thought.
These things are Li Zaixing's biggest secret. Li Mi thought he was a simple warrior, and Wei Yingwu also wanted to treat him as a sharp knife. He was very happy that they thought so. Because only in this way would they not beware of him and would be used by him instead.
