The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 810 Fabricating one’s life experience

Seeing that there were no ambushes around, Jie Li finally calmed down.

But there was already a bit more wariness in his eyes. Thinking that the other party had saved him, he suppressed the question in his heart and asked with some doubt: "Since you are Li Shimin's nephew, why did you end up on the grassland and save us?"

Jie Li was very confused. If he was taken back to the Central Plains and handed over to Li Shimin, it would be a great achievement. Even if he did not make any merit, even if he had committed a serious crime, he would be pardoned. Why should he surrender to him?

Seeing Jie Li asking, Li Yan knew that the real test was coming.

If you want to get close to Jie Li, you must gain his trust. Otherwise, even if you save him, he may deny it or just give you some wealth and send you away.

Fortunately, Li Yan is experienced in this regard and has been in the upper echelons of power for a long time, so he can still understand the mentality of these superiors.

Li Yan did not reply immediately, but took a deep breath and slowly looked towards the south.

Although there was an endless Gobi Desert before him, Li Yan's eyes seemed to penetrate thousands of miles and landed on Chang'an City thousands of miles away.

Slowly, Li Yan's expression became more and more profound, his face became more and more solemn, and endless sadness accumulated between his brows. His eyes revealed deep hatred, his mouth corners were tightly pursed, and his whole face seemed twisted and distorted, as if deep in his heart he was suppressing unspeakable past events and pain.

The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became heavy, and even Shi Luodie held his breath, fearing to disturb Li Yan.

After a long time, Li Yan closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a line of hot tears flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing this, Jie Li also sighed deeply. Needless to say, the young man in front of him must have a past that he couldn't bear to look back on.

Turning around, Li Yan brought out the plan he had thought of in advance: "To be honest, Khan, I am actually Li Jiancheng's son."

"what?"

Jie Li was shocked and frowned as he thought for a while: "I remember that Li Jiancheng seemed to have six sons, but weren't they all killed by Li Shimin after the Xuanwu Gate Incident? How did you escape? Could Li Shimin be careless about such a thing?"

Seeing Jie Li's suspicion grow, Li Yan's lips curled up with bitter mockery: "I am not only Li Jiancheng's son, but also his eldest son. It's just that I was born to a commoner girl that he met while he was playing among the common people before he got married."

"Because of my mother's commoner status, I was not recognized by Li Jiancheng since I was born, and even unknown to other members of the Li family. I was raised outside since I was a child."

"Later, after the Li family rose up and conquered the country, the Li family moved to Chang'an, and Li Jiancheng became the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. It was even more impossible for me, a child who was not even a concubine, to appear in Chang'an. My mother took me to live in Taiyuan."

So that's how it is. After hearing what Li Yan introduced, Jie Li finally felt relieved. Those aristocratic families all have a few playboys who were very romantic and dashing when they were young, and they would mess around with all kinds of things outside.

It is normal for an illegitimate child to be envied by the wife and not be acknowledged.

Some wives whose families are powerful don't even dare to let their wives know, otherwise they will most likely be euthanized.

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him was also one of them, and he was Li Jiancheng's eldest son. He could be considered a core member of the Tang Dynasty. If there were no secular etiquette and if Li Jiancheng had no accidents, this person would be the current crown prince of the Tang Dynasty and the one who would own the world in the future.

Shi Luodie, who was standing next to him, felt the same way and was extremely grateful that he had rescued Jie Li, otherwise he would have been like him and ended up wandering somewhere else.

Everyone in the world knew about the Li family's troubles. In order to fight for the throne, brothers killed each other. It was not much better than on the grassland.

"Hahahaha, it's really the law of nature, retribution will come."

Li Yan suddenly laughed at this point, his emotions were very excited, his expression showed great satisfaction, he clenched his fists, gnashed his teeth, and roared wantonly: "Li Jiancheng abandoned us mother and son, thinking that he could enjoy wealth and glory and inherit the Tang Dynasty."

"But he never dreamed that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. He didn't even get to the throne, but died at Xuanwu Gate. All his family members were killed by Li Shimin, and he died in grief."

"Speaking of this, I have to thank him. Fortunately, he did not recognize my mother and me at the beginning. Li Shimin also did not know our existence. Otherwise, I am afraid that I would not be alive today because of his influence four years ago."

"God is watching over us, hahahaha."

Li Yan ignored the astonishment of Jie Li and his son, and acted like crazy, putting himself into the role and immersed in it. He laughed to the end, but then his face changed and his expression became sad. He began to feel too happy and his tears could not stop flowing, and he finally burst into tears.

"Damn Li Jiancheng, what a waste! As a brother, he couldn't even suppress his own brother, and his whole family died."

Li Yan looked at Jie Li and vented his anger fiercely: "It's just that although Li Jiancheng deserves to die, if he succeeds to the throne smoothly, even if I am not a prince, I will enjoy a life of wealth and glory. But if he dies, what should I do?"

"God knows, I don't even dare to let Li Shimin know of my existence. Khan, what should I do? Where is my future?"

By the time Li Yan emotionally confessed his life story, Jie Li had completely put aside his suspicions.

He could understand Li Yan's experience very well. With such a complicated and tortuous life, it was no wonder that as a core member of the Li family, he had ended up as a dog without a home. Everyone was in the same boat. Shi Luodie could empathize the most and said immediately: "Li Yan, don't worry, you are the eldest son of Li Jiancheng, so you should have the power and qualifications to inherit the Tang Dynasty. When my father Khan regains control of the army, we will march south, conquer the Tang Dynasty, and make your identity public."

"I will hand over the throne of the Tang Dynasty to you. At that time, our two tribes will coexist hand in hand and share the world!"

Li Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Jie Li excitedly, with a face full of expectation, and asked with trembling lips: "Khan, is it true? Is the prince trying to comfort me? Are you really willing to support me to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"

Jie Li immediately waved his sleeves, and an aura of dominating the world emerged.

The tiger's eyes were as bright as lightning, staring at Li Yan: "What the prince said is what this Khan said. Even though this Khan is in trouble now, I am still the only Great Khan recognized by everyone on the grassland."

"Neither Tuli nor the Yinan dog thieves can deny it, and even Li Shimin cannot deprive it of it."

"As long as we get out of this Gobi Desert, it won't be long before I am still the grassland hero who dominates the world. Even Li Shimin dare not ignore my will. Of course, after this victory, the Tang Dynasty will be difficult to be conquered for a while."

"You are Li Jiancheng's eldest son and Li Yuan's eldest grandson. You are qualified to inherit the Tang Dynasty."

"But you still need to wait patiently for a while. After I have dealt with Tuli, Yinan, and Biheli, the villains on the grassland, and brought the eighteen tribes under my command again, I will definitely mobilize the army and help you take back the throne that should belong to you."

After learning of Li Yan's true identity, Jie Li not only let down his guard, but was also moved.

Apart from the favor, this person can be used. His identity as Li Jiancheng's eldest son is enough to stir up trouble within the Tang Dynasty.

Since the early years of Wude, Jie Li has been attacking the Tang Dynasty, but after so many years, the Tang Dynasty has not only not been defeated by him, but has become increasingly powerful, while he has fallen from the majestic Khan to this point.

Jie Li was also reflecting that it seemed that a country like the Tang Dynasty was difficult to defeat from the outside.

Thinking back to the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the Central Plains was divided, all the rebel kings, including Xue Ju, Li Yuan, and Dou Jiande, had pledged their loyalty to him in order to gain his support. Jie Li also discovered that supporting a spokesperson and subverting the country from within was the correct way to destroy the Tang Dynasty.

And this fake prince in front of him, who is not legitimate but ambitious and wants to ask for his help to regain the throne, is just a chess piece that he can use.

Jie Li readily made a promise and began to comfort Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at the expressions of Jie Li and Shi Luodie and knew that his behavior had worked.

It has to be said that life experience is still very useful. Li Yan remembered that the webmaster once said that if you want to deceive someone, it is not only necessary to make the logic perfect, but more importantly, the tone and expression when speaking.

Language can only deceive the other party's ears, eyes and thinking, but tone and expression can make up for this and make your words more credible.

After experiencing the repeated shocks of extreme joy and sorrow on Jie Li again, Li Yan believed that, even if it was not 100%, at least 80% of it could be fooled.

Li Yan immediately clasped his fists and said, "In this case, Li Yan is willing to serve the Khan and help him to regroup as soon as possible, unify the grasslands, and rule the world. When Li Yan becomes the emperor, he will definitely pay tribute to the Khan and pay taxes every year."

"Hahaha, okay, it's settled."

Jie Li had always heard this kind of gossip from the upper class, but he never took it seriously. However, after this great defeat, many loyal tribes betrayed him, and he fell into the hands of the Tang army.

This was a huge blow to Jie Li. Although he didn't say it, he was somewhat mentally unbalanced about ending up like this.

Surviving a near-death experience and gaining recognition from others were undoubtedly the greatest encouragement and hope for Jie Li, who was in trouble, to regain his confidence.

Jie Li said passionately: "From now on, you and Shi Luodie are the people I trust the most. I am old now. After I have tidied up the grasslands, I will unify the Central Plains. Then I will divide the world into two halves, the grasslands will be given to Shi Luodie, and the Central Plains will be given to you."

"You can call each other brothers, be loyal to each other, support each other, and share the world together"

Therefore, under Jie Li's deliberate mediation, the relationship between the few people became obviously closer, and the haze of defeat seemed to be swept away.

The three of them then set off and continued to head eastward, with Shi Luodie and Li Yan taking turns leading the way.

During a time when Jie Li and Shi Luodie were together, Jie Li asked Shi Luodie about the situation outside during the time when he was captured.

He learned that his trusted general Zhisishili was captured by the Tang Dynasty, and the leader of Bayegu, Misu'a, was also missing. The Tang army occupied most of the southern part of the desert, while the northern part of the desert was occupied by Biheli.

"Humph, I am not afraid of how powerful Li Shimin is. I am afraid of the Tuli and Yi Nan tribes who also live on the grassland. Wait, when I, Jie Li, return to the east, I will gather my troops and kill these traitors one by one."

Jie Li's expression became extremely gloomy, and his hatred for his own people was even greater than that for his enemies.
