Chapter 228 A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people
Shen Changgong took Tu Queling, Su Wuan and Murong Yi, dressed in casual clothes, and quietly left the military camp without taking anyone else.
Yang Hongying and Wu Changge were left behind to lead the army.
Following Zuo Sanhe, without attracting anyone's attention on the way, he quietly came to the guest room of Xuejian Villa in Yangyemen.
The guest rooms were surrounded by disciples and guests of the Snow Sword Villa, who were looking around vigilantly.
After entering the yard, a handsome man in his early thirties wearing white clothes was standing at the door with a few people.
"Your Highness, this is Master Li."
Zuo Sanhe introduced.
Li Xuan looked at Shen Changgong and then took the lead in clasping his hands and said,
"Commoner Li Xuan, I pay my respects to Prince Shen."
"Master Li, thank you for your courtesy."
"Your Majesty, please."
"please."
Inside the room, there was a table full of delicious food, but only Li Xuan and Shen Changgong sat down.
Li Xuan looked at Shen Changgong, smiled slightly, and said,
"The prince only brought three people here?"
Shen Changgong put on a playful smile and said,
"On the land of Great Yan, I believe the people of Yan will not harm me. I also believe that Master Li is a gentleman. Not to mention only bringing three people, even if I were alone, I would not dare to come here."
Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.
He is a prince, the second in command of the entire country, and he is so powerful that he dares to come to him, but he doesn't dare to go into his military camp.
"Your Highness is truly courageous. He's more like a man of the underworld than the rest of us. After meeting you today, your reputation is truly well-deserved."
Li Xuan picked up the wine glass and said,
"I offer a toast to His Majesty."
There was also a glass of wine in front of Shen Changgong. Tu Queling beside him picked it up and poured it directly on the ground. Then he picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine himself, drank it all, and after confirming that there was no poison, he poured another glass of wine for Shen Changgong.
The whole process was quite cumbersome, which made the few people in front of him very embarrassed.
But he is a prince after all. I heard that the emperor and princes and nobles would ask someone to test for poison every time they ate. It seems to be true.
At this time, Shen Changgong took the wine glass and said with a smile,
"please."
Then drink it all in one gulp.
Li Xuan asked,
"I wonder why the prince wants to see me?"
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Shouldn't I be the one asking Master Li what the meaning of handing me the invitation is?"
"I believe that Hero Zuo has already informed the prince of our purpose. We invited the prince only because he is ranked as the number one expert in Dayan according to the ranking of martial arts masters.
If we hold a martial arts conference and even the top masters don't participate, then the value of this martial arts conference will be too low.
On the contrary, if we invite the prince..."
"Then whoever can defeat me will be the legitimate leader, right? If you don't defeat me, others will continue to criticize you, saying that this leader of the martial arts world is not the strongest master."
"Your Highness is wise. We are not surprised that you can think of this."
"Then the question is, if I really defeat all of you, who will be the leader of the martial arts world?"
"Your Highness won it with his own ability, so it should naturally be given to you. We created the Wulin Alliance not to fight for power, but to jointly fight against the Yan Society. It is also very suitable for you to be the leader of the alliance and lead us to eliminate the villains of Kun Country."
"But what I want to destroy is not only the Kun Kingdom's villains, but also the Kun Kingdom's army and the Kun Kingdom itself."
Hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed suddenly and he asked,
"Is the prince going to send troops to Kun Kingdom?"
"That's inevitable. Kun State must have known about it. I'm not afraid to tell you that I will avenge Kun State's attack on Dayan. I will use the head of Kun State's emperor to commemorate the fallen soldiers and civilians of Dayan.
I have to lead my troops to war, so how can I have time to deal with these trivial matters?"
"Then why are you here today, Your Majesty..."
"I don't care, but I want to find someone who is trustworthy and has good character to take charge. The martial arts world of Dayan is also Dayan. I don't want the martial arts world to be governed by someone with bad intentions. That will not only not help me, but will cause trouble for me."
"Then your Highness, do you have anyone in mind?"
When Li Xuan asked the question, Shen Changgong raised his head and looked at him leisurely.
Li Xuan was startled when he saw this and blurted out,
"I?"
"Why? Master Li, do you feel that your character isn't good enough and that I can't trust you, or do you lack the confidence and ability to become the leader of the martial arts world?"
Li Xuan immediately smiled and said,
"Neither. Your Highness thinks too highly of me. I am just a wanderer in the world of martial arts. I only like to be free and unrestrained. I have no intention of leading others. Your Highness should find someone else."
"When the sword of the Yan-killing Society reaches the Snow Sword Villa, will Manor Master Li still be free and unrestrained?"
"Of course not."
"Master Li must understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. According to what you said, if the enemy's sword doesn't hit your head, you don't care. But if the enemy's sword hits other people, then you can hit them at will.
I didn't expect that Master Li would be such a selfish person. You are right, I have misjudged him."
Li Xuan heard this, smiled bitterly, and said,
"Your Highness, please don't try to provoke me. Although I don't want to be the leader, I am willing to obey orders and follow the leader's instructions to kill the enemy."
"Then how can you live so leisurely?"
"Um……"
"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to worry, right? You're afraid of taking responsibility? If you succeed, it's all thanks to others, and if you fail, it's all their fault. Anyway, you're just an obedient soldier, and you go wherever the general tells you to, right?"
"I, a commoner...have no great ambitions and don't want to work too hard."
Shen Changgong smiled and said, "It's good to have no ambitions."
An extra-staff force can only be stable and avoid causing trouble if its leader has no ambitions.
If he was an aggressive person who wanted to become the leader of the alliance and fight for power and profit, Shen Changgong would still be worried, as he might want to rebel and become emperor one day.
"But the Wulin Alliance is in someone else's hands. I'm worried. Master Li should know what the consequences will be if a king doesn't trust the Wulin forces, right?"
Hearing this, the people behind Li Xuan glared at him and drew their swords.
Li Xuan quickly raised his hand and asked them to put it away.
"I understand the prince's concerns. After all, the prince brought a series of reforms to Dayan in order to make Dayan prosperous and let the people live a good life.
You definitely want a stable Dayan.
I can recommend Fairy Meiyan and Patriarch Murong..."
"Master Li, I have something to say to you: The greatest heroes serve their country and their people.
You are acting as heroes and fighting for justice, but you are only eliminating minor evils and harms.
"Instability and unrest in a country are the greatest evils and harms, and too many people will live in insecurity. What do you think?"
