Xianyu Pavilion, reception hall.
Murong Fu held the tea cup and drank the tea gently, unable to calm down in his heart.
Only then did he know that Li Xianyu actually lived here in Langhuan Jade Cave.
"From now on in Mantuo Villa, I'm afraid I will have to change my surname to Li." Murong Fu thought silently, and his desire to win over Li Xianyu became even stronger.
After waiting for about a stick of incense, Li Xianyu arrived, accompanied by a little tailed 'Yun'er'.
Murong Fu stood up and smiled.
When Li Xianyu saw the smile on Murong Fu's face, he also showed a smile as warm as the spring breeze and called out affectionately: "Cousin."
I thought to myself: It seems that he is not trying to avenge his father.
"Brother-in-law." Murong Fu shouted back.
The two exchanged simple polite words and sat down separately.
Murong Fu glanced at Wu Xingyun who was standing behind Li Xianyu and felt that it was a bit annoying.
"Yun'er is deaf and mute." Li Xianyu explained briefly, glanced at the maid guarding the door of the living room, and ordered, "My cousin and I have important matters to discuss, so you all should go down first."
"yes."
The area around the living room was empty.
Murong Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his brother-in-law was quite decent.
"Cousin, I heard Yu Yan say that you are a descendant of the royal family?" Li Xianyu leaned closer to the coffee table and asked in a low voice.
Murong Fu paused and nodded, feeling a little unhappy.
This displeasure was not aimed at Li Xianyu, but at his cousin Wang Yuyan.
The origin of the Murong family in Gusu was supposed to be a top secret, but this cousin actually told Li Xianyu in front of her.
"Cousin, do you want to be the emperor?" Li Xianyu continued to ask.
Murong Fu's face flashed a bit unnaturally, and he was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to answer, mainly because he was not familiar with Li Xianyu.
"Did I guess wrong?" Li Xianyu pretended to hesitate and said, "I thought you had the ambition to dominate the world, cousin."
Murong Fu knew that he could no longer remain silent and said slowly: "My ancestors once founded Dayan. My dream is to restore the glory of my ancestors and restore Dayan."
"It's been five or six hundred years. Does this whole family have brain problems?" Wu Xingyun, who was standing behind Li Xianyu, complained silently.
"From the first moment I saw you, cousin, I knew that you have great ambitions and are a true leader among men." Li Xianyu praised him, while thinking in his heart, what good things does Murong Fu have about him? It can be collected.
Murong Fu smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are a talented person. In just two months, you have become famous in the world. You are the real dragon among people."
"I can't compare to you, cousin." Li Xianyu smiled modestly.
The two complimented each other a few more times.
Li Xianyu picked up the tea and took a sip.
Murong Fu understood instantly and chuckled: "Last night was a big day for you and your cousin, brother-in-law. I originally prepared a wedding gift for you..."
"Oh?" Li Xianyu raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a very interested look.
Murong Fu took out a piece of yellow-reddish paper from his arms, which was a little bigger than a palm.
Li Xianyu narrowed his eyes.
He was familiar with this style of paper.
There was a time when I had to hold it close to my body while sleeping.
Floating stamps issued by the government.
In layman's terms, it is the admission ticket for the imperial examination.
"The Mantuoshan family has a lot of wealth and countless martial arts classics. Cousin, I really don't know what to give you, so I took a trick and helped my cousin get a new imperial examination ticket." Murong Fu said with a smile. Then he handed the floating ticket in his hand to Li Xianyu.
The smile on Li Xianyu's face faded a little.
Floating ticket?
Am I the one who needs float tickets now?
"My cousin is interested." Li Xianyu took the floating ticket and his attitude became colder.
Murong Fu was very keen and instantly noticed the change in Li Xianyu's attitude.
"He doesn't want to take the imperial examination anymore." Murong Fu said secretly, with a slight smile on his face, "It seems that this gift is not what my brother-in-law wants."
"How could it be? I like it very much." Li Xianyu said, then reached out and handed the floating ticket to Wu Xingyun behind him, and ordered, "Yun'er, keep it well."
Wu Xingyun snorted secretly and took it obediently.
Murong Fu glanced at Wu Xingyun and said pointedly: "You girl, you are a bit young."
"She may be older than your grandfather." Li Xianyu secretly complained, with a chuckle on his face, "She is a little too small, but she is better than being obedient."
Wu Xingyun rolled his eyes secretly.
Murong Fu shook his head and said, "Just being obedient is not enough. The maid must not only be obedient, but also be considerate and able to help you."
Wu Xingyun curled his lips secretly, thinking that if it weren't for grandma and me, he would have been killed by you and me.
Li Xianyu blinked and asked, "What does cousin mean?"
Murong Fu clapped his hands.
Abi walked out from the right side of the hall and stood in the middle of the hall handsomely.
Li Xianyu sat down.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think of Abi?" Murong Fu asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, no, no..." Li Xianyu looked at Abi and seemed to be stuttering, saying the word "no" five times in a row.
"Huh?" Murong Fu, Abi, and Wu Xingyun were all stunned.
"It's incredible." Li Xianyu praised.
"Oh." Murong Fu breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that Li Xianyu didn't like Abi.
There was a bit of blush on Abi's cheeks, she lowered her head and said nothing, feeling very complicated.
A flash of disdain flashed in Wu Xingyun's eyes, and she knew that this boy would definitely accept anyone who came.
"Cousin, do you mean to give Abi to me?" Li Xianyu asked, the surprise coming a bit suddenly.
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Don't you just lack a considerate maid by your side?"
Li Xianyu grinned and asked, "Cousin, if you want to be emperor, have you planned a route?"
Murong Fu paused, a little uncomfortable with Li Xianyu's sudden change of attitude.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
"I can't talk about it, Gao Jian, but I have some ideas." Li Xianyu chuckled, "I heard that cousin, you went to Xixia a few days ago. You must be plotting against Princess Yinchuan of Xixia, right?"
"Princess Yinchuan?" Wu Xingyun narrowed his cute eyes slightly.
Princess Li Qinglu of Yinchuan, the granddaughter of the bitch Li Qiushui!
Murong Fu smiled noncommittally.
"I guess cousin, you must have suffered a setback in Xixia, and you may not even have met Princess Yinchuan." Li Xianyu said, thinking that if everything goes well for you, you will definitely strike while the iron is hot. How can you come back to attend this wedding banquet? In order to win over me, he did not hesitate to send Abi away.
Murong Fu was speechless.
He was really frustrated and couldn't see Princess Yinchuan at all.
"It is indeed a wonderful move for you to choose Princess Yinchuan." Li Xianyu said, "But cousin, you lack one thing."
"What?" Murong Fu looked at Li Xianyu, his heart beating a little faster.
Li Xianyu said: "We are a good match."
"We are well matched..." Murong Fu fell into deep thought.
"You do enjoy a high reputation in the martial arts world of the Central Plains, but this title is probably not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Xixia royal family." Li Xianyu said, and suddenly felt that it was a bit unreal for Xu Zhu to marry Princess Yinchuan of Xixia.
"Then between brother-in-law, I should..." Murong Fu looked at Li Xianyu.
Li Xianyu said: "Actually, cousin, if you want to revive Dayan, there are many opportunities."
Murong Fu's eyes flashed with fire.
"Cousin, does he know about the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun?"
"Know."
"Cousin, does he know that Liao belongs to the Jurchen tribe?"
"Jurchen? I heard something."
"Cousin, do you know how long it has been since Xixia was founded?"
"Know."
Li Xianyu took a sip of tea.
Murong Fu knew that it was time for him to express his position.
"Brother-in-law, if I win the world in the future, I am willing to divide and conquer it with you." Murong Fu promised in a deep voice.
"Cousin is joking, there are never two days in the sky, and there are no two masters of the people." Li Xianyu smiled, "In the future, you will only be the one who stands on top of the world, cousin.
As for my brother-in-law, I have little interest in gaining power over the world. "
Murong Fu, Abi, and Wu Xingyun all understood Li Xianyu's appeal instantly.
Drunk and lying on the beauty's knees.
"Cousin, what do you think of Jiangnan?" Li Xianyu asked.
Murong Fu muttered: "It's very good. The scenery is picturesque and the people are simple. It's a land of plenty."
Li Xianyu shook his head and said, "I'm asking you, is it possible that there will be riots in Jiangnan in a short period of time?"
"This..." Murong Fu hesitated, shook his head and said, "Probably not. Jiangnan is an important place for the Song Dynasty's financial revenue and expenditure. Once there is chaos, the Song Dynasty will definitely send troops to suppress it."
"Since you know that Jiangnan is very stable, why did you stay in Jiangnan?" Li Xianyu sighed, "In troubled times, heroes emerge. Which founding monarch appeared in the peaceful and prosperous times?"
"What do you mean by brother-in-law?" Murong Fu asked.
"Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance." Li Xianyu said, "Although the Song Dynasty's foreign wars were not satisfactory, within the Song Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that the country is peaceful and the people are safe.
In the Song Dynasty, you have little chance.
Your real opportunities are in three places: Xixia, Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and the Jurchen Tribe. "
Murong Fu pondered that Xixia's opportunity lay in marrying Princess Yinchuan... He knew this.
As for the sixteen states of Yanyun and the Jurchen tribe...
"Brother-in-law, please give me more details." Murong Fu humbly asked for advice.
Li Xianyu talked eloquently: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun now belong to the Liao Dynasty, but this land used to be regarded as the Central Plains, and this land had extremely important strategic significance for the Song Dynasty.
If my cousin can seize the sixteen states of Yanyun from Daliao, he can build a small country like Li Yuanhao.
As for the Jurchen tribe, the clans are chaotic and complex. The Khitan nobles of the Daliao Dynasty are increasingly harsh on the oppression and extortion there. The Jurchen tribes have long been dissatisfied.
With your abilities, cousin, it should be easy for you to take over the Jurchen tribe.
When the time comes, cousin, you will first unite the Jurchen tribe, wait for the opportunity to mature, rebel against the Liao in one fell swoop, occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then propose marriage to Xixia as the new leader of the Yan Kingdom, wouldn't it be a perfect match..."
“……”
After listening to Li Xianyu's story, Murong Fu's heart was unbearably excited, and his face showed an even more excited look, as if he had seen his future.
The recovery of Dayan can be expected!
"No wonder the old lady wants to kill Brother Li so much, and the young master values Brother Li so much..." Abi couldn't calm down. She knew that Li Xianyu was a very smart man.
In the past, she had secretly compared Li Xianyu with her son-in-law many times, and each time she tended to think that her son-in-law was more talented.
At this moment, this tendency gradually disappeared.
"What on earth is this kid thinking?" Wu Xingyun was a little confused. Others didn't know, but she knew very well that Li Xianyu just killed the father of the Murong family baby last night.
"Is there a pit here?"
