Sheng Tang: What is Liu Jianjun going to do today?

Chapter 110 He should be grateful to us.
Li Xian was shocked.

Wu Youji, a member of the Wu clan and the empress's cousin, how could someone like that be won over?
"Don't just stand there talking, introduce this person to me first," Liu Jianjun urged in a low voice.

Li Xian thought for a moment and then introduced, "Wu Youji... I haven't had much contact with him. After all, although he was a relative of the emperor before, he was just a commoner without soldiers or power. At most, he was a bully who harassed the city."

Liu Jianjun nodded: "That's something to be able to tell. So what? What's the quality of his brain?"

Li Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Probably... about the same as Brother Xian?"

"It just means he's an idiot."

Li Xian glared at him, then sighed, "I wouldn't say he's stupid, he's just straightforward and stubborn..."

"He was just thanking us."

“…” Li Xian paused, then compromised, “Alright, I am a bit slow-witted.”

Liu Jianjun thought for a moment, then asked, "Thinking about it this way, ever since we came to Chang'an, it's been us unilaterally bullying him, right?"

Li Xian thought for a moment and nodded.

Isn't it?

At the beginning, Liu Jianjun robbed other people's prostitutes. Later, he helped Aisha pay off her debts and beat up his subordinate manager.

On the contrary, Liu Jianjun, apart from being pulled in the groin when he kicked him at the beginning, never suffered any loss from beginning to end.

Then, Liu Jianjun asked, "Wu Youji...is on good terms with Taiping?"

Li Xian shook his head: "According to seniority, although Wu Youji should call Taiping his cousin, Taiping is the princess most favored by the Empress Dowager. Commoners like Wu Youji generally have no contact with women of Taiping's status."

"So these two people have barely met."

Liu Jianjun frowned again: "That's strange..."

After a long pause, he asked again, "What about Wu Youji? Has he gotten married? How is his relationship with his wife?"

Li Xian gave him a disapproving look. "He is the same age as Dan Di, so he is naturally already married. As for their relationship... it should be considered a harmonious one."

This time, Liu Jianjun frowned even more deeply, as if he was thinking about something very troubling.

Then, he suddenly looked at Li Xian and asked, "Xianzi, what conditions do you think I need to meet if I want to marry Taiping?"

Li Xian's eyes widened instantly.

"Don't rush, I'm just using an example, let's discuss this hypothetically!" Liu Jianjun urged again, "Hurry up, this is very important!"

Li Xian looked at Liu Jianjun suspiciously, but seeing that Liu Jianjun's expression didn't seem fake, he said, "If you really want to marry Taiping, as long as she's willing, that's fine."

Liu Jianjun was taken aback: "That simple?"

Li Xian said irritably, "Of course! It's been said that Taiping is the Empress Dowager's favorite. If she really wanted to marry you, all she had to do was ask, and the Empress Dowager would definitely arrange for her to divorce Xue Shao..."

"Of course, Mother will definitely make things difficult for you in every way, after all, you..." Li Xian looked Liu Jianjun up and down.

"I know, his status and position aren't good enough for Taiping. Even Xue Shao is disliked by your mother." Liu Jianjun waved his hand dismissively, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ghost, so Taiping is so favored?"

"if not?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jianjun asked in a surprising way, "Then... if I marry Shangguan Wan'er first, what conditions would I have to meet if I wanted to marry Taiping at that time?"

Li Xian glared at him.

Liu Jianjun is indeed obsessed with having women on both sides!

Having already gotten his hands on Shangguan Wan'er, he actually dared to plot against his own sister!

"Don't even think about it! It's impossible!" Li Xian replied decisively. "Princess Taiping is the most favored princess. How could the Empress Dowager tolerate her sharing a husband with another man?"

Liu Jianjun was still persistent, asking, "What if I insist? Tell me, what would happen if this actually happened?" "Then Mother will definitely make you and Shangguan Wan'er divorce first!" Li Xian rolled his eyes. "She definitely won't tolerate it..."

"Wait!"

Liu Jianjun suddenly interrupted Li Xian, his eyes wide with shock: "It's not a divorce! Your mother will have Shangguan Wan'er executed directly!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Xian saw Liu Jianjun, as if he had suddenly figured something out, exclaim with joy: "That's it! That's it! Now it all makes sense!"

Then, Liu Jianjun suddenly grabbed Li Xian's arm and said confidently, "Wu Youji can be won over! So for now, let's not make enemies with him anymore, and it's best to maintain a friendly relationship with him."

Li Xian thought to himself, "Wasn't it always Liu Jianjun who was at odds with Wu Youji?"

Li Xiangang was about to ask why, but Liu Jianjun said again, "I'll explain it to you when we get back!"

Li Xian thought for a moment and nodded: "Then... what should we do?"

"Let me do it!"

As Liu Jianjun spoke, he walked toward the direction where Wu Youji had set up camp—in just a short while, Li Xian and his group had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Wu Youji, who was on a faster pace, had already returned to the camp. Seeing Liu Jianjun walking towards him, he immediately greeted him excitedly: "Brother Liu!"

Then he saw Li Xian behind him and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Your Highness, Prince Pei!"

Li Xian remembered Liu Jianjun's words about maintaining a friendly relationship with Wu Youji, so he smiled gently and said, "Youji can just call me cousin."

Wu Youji looked excited and hurriedly called out, "Cousin."

At this moment, Liu Jianjun interrupted their polite exchanges: "Alright, stop being so polite."

Then, he suddenly looked at Wu Youji apologetically and said, "Brother Youji! Actually, there's something I need to apologize to you about!"

Wu Youji was taken aback and asked, "Apologize? Apologize for what? Is it because of that prostitute..."

"No!" Liu Jianjun shook his head and said, "Actually... the wild boar that attacked you just now was actually because of us."

Liu Jianjun looked guilty and continued, "As you can see, when Prince Pei and I went hunting in the mountains, we didn't have enough men to complete the task of surrounding and driving them away. So I suggested that Prince Pei go hunting in the north of the mountain."

"Because we thought that since Brother Youji was driving the prey south of the mountain, there would always be startled prey running north of the mountain. Prince Pei and I only needed to wait for them to come to us from the north of the mountain, which would be a way to pick up some of Brother Youji's spoils."

A look of realization gradually appeared on Wu Youji's face.

"But who would have thought that we would see that wild boar."

"That beast was surrounded by me and Prince Pei, and in its panic, it rushed towards Brother Youji's group. That's why I appeared behind that wild boar, because I was the hunter responsible for chasing that beast."

After saying this, Liu Jianjun looked ashamed and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect again: "Therefore, the blame for this matter lies with me!"

Wu Youji finally realized what was going on, and then said nonchalantly, "Brother Liu, you're too kind! The purpose of hunting in the mountains is to ambush prey. You and your cousin brought more than twenty people. It's normal to be excited when you see a wild boar."

"As for that beast being driven to my side, that's even less your fault!"
"That beast has no intelligence, so it was naturally running away in a panic. This is my fault for being careless. I should have ordered my men to prepare weapons!"

At this point, Wu Youji cupped his hands to Liu Jianjun again: "So, I still have to thank you! If it weren't for Brother Liu chasing after that beast, I would have lost my life long ago!"

Liu Jianjun hurriedly returned the greeting.

So, one of them fawned over the other, and the other was grateful, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

In no time at all, they were already arm in arm.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Liu Jianjun turned to look at Li Xian, lowered his voice, and chuckled, "I told you, he should be grateful to us!"
