The waste prince is so fierce

Chapter 23 Making Wise Choices

Mingyue was very surprised to see Li Quan's reaction, but she didn't show it on her face.

She thought that no man in the world could resist her charm, but Li Quan rejected her.

This made Mingyue suddenly doubt herself.

"Is it because he has another woman in his heart that he has no feelings for me?"

Mingyue thought, "Yes, that must be the case! Otherwise he wouldn't be able to play such a sad and lonely piece of music." Unwilling to admit defeat, Mingyue secretly made up her mind, "I, Mingyue, have never lost to anyone in my life. I must make him fall in love with me."

Thinking back to the time when she had always been the best, Mingyue decided to get rid of the "invisible" in Li Quan's heart.

Woman.

At this moment, Li Quan had no idea of ​​Mingyue's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely sigh again: "Women are such a mystery!"

After resting for a night in the Prince's Mansion, Li Quan, Mingyue, and Mingyue's two maids, Xiaoqiu and Xing'er, set out on the journey to Liangzhou.

At daybreak, they left the city gate.

The carriage stopped just as it reached the city gate. At this moment, a familiar voice came: "Ninth brother, it's me, Third Brother."

Hearing the voice of the Third Prince Li Jun, Li Quan frowned slightly, thinking: I have been demoted to Liangzhou, why is this Third Brother still causing trouble? After comforting Mingyue, Li Quan walked out of the carriage, saw Li Jun, and saluted politely: "Hello, Third Brother."

Li Jun waved his hand and said with a smile: "We are brothers, there is no need to stick to etiquette.

You are now a well-known figure in Dakang, Laojiu, you are really a hidden talent! "

After hearing this, Li Quan made some guesses about the purpose of Li Jun's visit.

"These are just empty names, not worth mentioning." Li Quan asked tentatively: "Brother, you came here specially, it shouldn't be just to see you off, right?"

Li Jun smiled and said frankly: "Indeed, there is something else I want to discuss with you.

Although you have always stayed away from the court disputes, you still know some of the inside stories.

You are a smart man, and I hope you can make a wise choice between me and the prince.

As long as you support me, I promise that I will let you return to Beijing within three years."

"Although Liangzhou is far from the capital, it is still a remote place. It is better to be a leisurely and comfortable prince in the capital." When talking about the fight for the throne, Li Jun put away his smile.

As soon as Li Quan heard it, he knew that his guess was correct. This time, his third brother Li Jun deliberately stopped him at the city gate. On the surface, he said he was seeing him off, but in fact he wanted to win him over to join their gang.

Even though Li Jun had never caused any trouble for him in the past, Li Quan had never thought of joining his camp.

The reason is very simple. If Li Jun really took me seriously, why didn't he try to win me over before? The reason why he tried to win me over now is because of my current influence.

This kind of alliance based on interests is likely to sell itself out once greater interests emerge.

Li Quan saw this clearly.

Realizing this, Li Quan began to deal with it by laughing it off.

"Third brother, are you saying that I will have a chance to return to the capital in the future?"

"Of course! Everyone knows that the emperor sent you to Liangzhou just for show. After a while, I can say a few good words for you and call you back."

Li Jun took a fancy to Li Quan, who was currently in the limelight, and wanted to recruit him.

Li Quan responded: "I'm afraid I can't help my third brother in Liangzhou. Let's wait until my father calls me back." Hearing Li Quan's excuse, Li Jun frowned, but before he could continue to persuade him, he was interrupted by Li Quan.

"Don't worry, third brother. I can neither help you in Liangzhou nor help the prince." After saying this, Li Jun swallowed back what he was about to say. He knew that Li Quan was hinting at him that if he was pushed too hard, he might turn to the prince's side.

Although he failed to win over Li Quan, Li Jun found that Li Quan had no intention of helping the prince, so he had to accept Li Quan's neutral attitude.

After all, if Li Quan was forced to push him towards the prince, that would be a real loss-making deal.

"Since you don't want to get involved in these matters, I won't force you." Li Jun said helplessly, "Liangzhou is a long way, let's set off early." After finishing the business, Li Jun did not stay any longer, and Li Quan bowed and said goodbye: "Take care, third brother."

Just as Li Quan was about to board the car to go to Liangzhou, he suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Stop!"

Li Quan looked back and saw a strange young man wearing black armor and riding a warhorse standing in front of him. Li Quan was confused and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The boy replied: “It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is that you can’t treat my sister like this.

No matter who you are, if you bully my sister, I will teach you a lesson! "

At this point, before Li Quan asked who the young man's sister was, the strange young man had already jumped off his horse and swung an angry fist straight at Li Quan's chest! However, when the young man's fist was about to hit Li Quan, a figure flashed out and shouted, "Jiwu, stop!"

This person was none other than Xu Yingnan, who had broken off her engagement with Li Quan. Unlike the armor she wore when they first met, Xu Yingnan was now wearing women's clothing. Her beauty was on par with Mingyue's, which surprised Li Quan.

At the same time, Mingyue in the carriage also lifted the curtain and looked out. The two pairs of eyes met in the air. In an instant, although they had never met before, they inexplicably developed a hint of hostility towards each other.

However, Mingyue quickly lowered the curtains and put an end to this invisible contest.

"Jiwu, don't be rude to His Highness!"

After Xu Yingnan scolded him, he also got off his horse and walked to the boy.

Despite being reprimanded, the boy showed no sign of anger.

"But sister, he..."

However, Xu Yingnan interrupted him with a serious face: "If you continue to be rude, I will tell my uncle. When the time comes, my uncle will punish you, and I will not stop him." When the young man heard that his uncle Xu Guocheng, whom he respected very much, was mentioned, he could only glare at Li Quan angrily and left in dismay.

After the young man walked away, Xu Yingnan apologized to Li Quan: "Jiwu grew up in a military camp and does not know etiquette. Please don't blame me, Your Highness." Although Li Quan was exiled to Liangzhou, he was still a prince. If he attacked the prince in the street, the consequences would be serious, so Xu Yingnan apologized to Li Quan on behalf of her brother.

Li Quan waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "It's just a child making a fuss, it's nothing." Then he asked curiously: "I heard that General Xu only has a daughter and no son. He..."

Xu Yingnan explained: "Jiwu is not my biological brother, his uncle was my uncle's comrade-in-arms, who unfortunately died while performing a mission more than ten years ago, so my uncle adopted him.

Because we didn't make the adoption of Jiwu public, not many people know about it. " Li Quan nodded after hearing this, and understood why the boy misunderstood that he had bullied his sister and wanted to avenge her.
