I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 213 I Want to Challenge the Three Grandmasters
After Shen Lang completed the task of delivering children to the two imperial concubines.

Then he left the palace in a swagger.

I was just about to go back to find Dong Shu Ni to ask her about the fake product.

Suddenly, a carriage rushed out from the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city, with eight guards in front and behind to protect the emperor. It stopped suddenly beside him.

Princess Xiuning's voice came from behind the low curtains, "Mr. Shen, where are you going? Could you please let Xiuning give you a ride?"

Shen Lang readily agreed.

The carriage was spacious, with seats only at either end. Before Shen Lang sat down, Li Xiuning whispered, "Come sit next to me so we can talk. Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going home." Shen Lang said, "Where are you going?"

Li Xiuning twisted her slender waist slightly, turned her pretty face away and stared at him, saying, "I'm just going out for a walk. Xiuning heard that you went to treat the Concubine Jieyu. I wonder what illness the Concubine Jieyu has?"

Shen Lang explained simply: "It's a strange poison, but I'm here to help, so you don't have to worry."

Li Xiuning was surprised and said, "A strange poison? Who would poison Concubine Jieyu?"

Shen Lang met her beautiful eyes and whispered, "Of course, they are the ones who want her life, but to prevent the news from leaking out, they have not disclosed her illness. Moreover, they have to go to the palace to check on her several times to be on the safe side."

I just gave her father two hats, so it’s hard to tell anyone about this.

Li Xiuning lowered her head and said, "Xiuning, I heard that you have explained our situation to our father. I wonder what Brother Shen is thinking? Do you really want to marry Xiuning?"

Ever since Li Xiuning had sex with him many times, she no longer had feelings for Chai Shao. And after Chai Shao was crippled by Shen Lang, he asked Shen Luoyan to find someone to secretly pass on the news. Now the whole Chang'an knows that he is impotent.

Li Yuan naturally would not marry Li Xiuning to him again.

Shen Lang immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course, otherwise why would I tell him this?"

Li Xiuning's pretty face flushed slightly as she said, "You have the final say on these matters, but there is one more thing Xiuning needs to tell you."

"what?"

"Second brother said that Shi Feixuan has asked Ning Daoqi to deal with you. Although your martial arts skills are high, I'm afraid you are still no match for Ning Daoqi." Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed with anxiety. "Since you have no intention of fighting for the world, why don't you return the Heshi Bi to Shi Feixuan first?"

"Ning Daoqi is coming?" Shen Lang was overjoyed. "Is it true?"

Seeing that he wasn't afraid at all, but rather looked excited, Li Xiuning became even more puzzled: "Are you looking forward to his arrival?"

"I've long wanted to test the power of the legendary Taoist master." Shen Lang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be fine."

Li Xiuning couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment, so she said, "If the situation is not right, you should return the Heshi Bi to them."

"Don't worry, I know." Shen Lang leaned close to her ear and said, "Speaking of proposing marriage to your father, if you were pregnant, I'm afraid the chances of success would be much higher. It's already done, and he definitely wouldn't be able to refuse."

Hearing this, Li Xiuning's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "This is on the street, and there are people outside."

"Just don't scream so loudly." Shen Lang said in her ear, "Or we can find a place to stop first."

Li Xiuning blushed and said, "Then I'd better come back to find you later. We're on the street now, it wouldn't be good if it got out."

Shen Lang no longer insisted.

She is a princess after all. If someone hears or sees her doing this in public, it will have a bad impact.

Li Xiuning continued, "I heard from my father that the King of Goryeo sent a message saying that Goryeo's foremost expert, 'Master Yijian,' Fu Cailin, will represent Goryeo in Chang'an to meet with my father and learn about the martial arts of the Central Plains. Rumor has it that Fu Cailin intends to challenge Ning Daoqi, Song Que, and you, all three of them."

"Fu Cailin is coming to challenge me?" Shen Lang said with a smile, "This is quite lively."

Li Xiuning said, "There is one more thing. My eldest brother also suggested to my father that we invite Bi Xuan, the Turkic 'Martial Master', to visit us."

"Bi Xuan is coming too?" Shen Lang pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, ask your father to send a letter of challenge to the three of them on my behalf, saying that I, Shen Lang, want to challenge all three Grandmasters at the same time."

Li Xiuning's eyes widened in shock. "You want to challenge the three great masters at the same time?"

"That's right, and we must spread the news as much as possible." Shen Lang said, "Although humility is a virtue, excessive humility is not good either. Let me see how strong the three great masters are."

Li Xiuning still had some doubts about whether she had heard correctly, "Are you sure you're not joking?" "How can you joke about something like this?" Shen Lang said seriously, "It's absolutely true. Look, Shi Feixuan asked Ning Daoqi to deal with me, and Fu Cailin also wants to challenge me. This is enough to prove my ability."

Li Xiuning thought for a moment and said, "If you are serious, I will tell my father when I get back."

The two talked for a while, and Shen Lang got off the car first.

But after walking a few steps, he met Hou Xibai outside the Mingtang nest again.

"Why did you come here to block me?" Shen Lang asked doubtfully, "Or are you following Yang Xuyan again?"

Hou Xibai smiled and said, "I didn't know I would meet Brother Shen here. As for Yang Xuyan, I have roughly figured out his plan."

"what's the plan?"

Hou Xibai sighed, "Master Shi is a man of foresight. He overthrew the Sui Dynasty with his clever schemes. So Yang Xuyan must be implementing a similar plan to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. Master Shi has already understood Li Yuan's character and weaknesses. He only needs to place two important pawns beside him to accomplish his goal."

"Which two pieces?"

"Of course it's Yang Xuyan and Concubine Yin De." Hou Xibai showed a thoughtful expression and said slowly, "Because among Li Yuan's concubines, only Concubine Zhang was poisoned, Concubine Yin De is the most suspicious person."

"That makes sense, but Li Yuan has a new concubine, Wang Shichong's niece Dong Shuni. Do you know about this?" Shen Lang asked.

Hou Xibai said in a deep voice, "I do know. Because Concubine Yin De was unable to bear a son for the elderly Li Yuan, if Dong Shu Ni could give birth to a child, it would be perfect to fill this gap. Therefore, Yang Xu Yan intended to kill Concubine Zhang as a means to win Dong Shu Ni's favor."

"Your speculation is quite reasonable." Shen Lang nodded and said, "But it's still too early for the Li family to take over the world, right? Besides, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji are all here."

Hou Xibai shook his head and said, "The sooner the Li family takes control of the country, the better it will be for Master Shi's scheme. As long as Master Shi can control Li Yuan, he can find a way to kill his sons, and then promote Dong Shuni's son as a puppet emperor. The concubines will control the government, and with the powerful backing of the Holy Sect, who can resist?"

"It's a pity that you don't go to the government to work and solve cases." Shen Lang said casually.

I thought to myself: Although I have given birth to children for Concubine De and Concubine Zhang, it is just giving birth to children.

Now that Shi Zhixuan was dead, he didn't care about these things anymore. He asked again, "You haven't found Yang Xuyan's whereabouts yet?"

"If he were so easy to find, he wouldn't be called the Shadow Assassin." Hou Xibai said with a wry smile, "Now I'm really worried, afraid that he might suddenly jump out and kill me."

Shen Lang patted his shoulder and said, "Then just pray that he finds me first. I have something else to do and I'll go back first. You can take your time to walk around."

After saying goodbye to Hou Xibai, he was about to go back.

Suddenly, someone pulled his arm from behind and called out sweetly, "Mr. Shen."

Turning around, he saw that the person coming was Hu Xiaoxian from Mingtangwo.

"Miss Hu, what a coincidence." Shen Lang said with a smile, "Are you going to arrest me and take me to gamble today?"

"I'm not gambling," Hu Xiaoxian said. "If I'm not gambling, then can't I say hello to you, Brother Shen? This isn't the place to talk. Brother Shen, please follow me."

Hu Xiaoxian brought Shen Lang to the quiet VIP lounge in Mingtang Nest where no one would disturb them, and the two sat opposite each other.

She poured Shen Lang a cup of tea and said, "Brother Shen, it's been a long time since we came to Mingtang Nest to play for money. I wonder if there is anything new to play?"

"Not really, I've just been busy with some things lately." Shen Lang said.

Hu Xiaoxian said coquettishly, "I see. I thought I had frightened Brother Shen. Brother Shen, you are elegant and refined, and a famous handsome man. If you come to Mingtang more often, I will be able to enjoy my meals more."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "No wonder I thought the girl had lost weight. It turned out to be because I hadn't been to Mingtangwo."

When Hu Xiaoxian heard this, her beautiful eyes lit up as she stared at him, and she said happily, "Brother Shen, will you be my lover? Even for a few days!"

Shen Lang didn't expect her words to be so bold and her behavior to be so unrestrained.

Then he asked, "Is he a true lover or a fake lover?"

Hu Xiaoxian smiled sweetly, looking pleased with herself. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "A true lover is better. I was hoping you'd do me a favor, because I'm in so much trouble right now!"

“How tight?”
