With a blank expression, Su Chen questioned Li Junxian, "Li Junxian, did Li Shimin order you to imprison and monitor Shang Xiufang?"
Li Junxian immediately replied, "My lord, this is His Majesty's order to protect Lady Shang."
Su Chen retorted sarcastically upon hearing Li Junxian's words.
"Hmph, protect? You're all talk. Li Junxian, you've come all this way with an army. Are you planning to arrest me?"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood. Your Excellency has come from the Great Sui Dynasty. Our Emperor wishes to see Your Excellency, so we would never dare to arrest you."
"Li Junxian, take your imperial guards and get out of here. I have just arrived in Chang'an and I do not want to see Li Shimin yet."
"this......"
"Li Junxian, stop with all that and get out of here! The Tang Empire is besieged on three sides. Don't you want the Sui Dynasty to launch a war against the Tang Empire as well?"
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
Li Junxian immediately agreed upon hearing Su Chen's words.
He really didn't dare to provoke Su Chen.
The Tang Empire had just sought help from the Sui Empire. If he offended Su Chen here, even Li Shimin would not let him off the hook. Therefore, Li Junxian could only report Su Chen's arrival to Li Shimin first.
Li Junxian waved his hand at the surrounding imperial guards and gave the order.
"Everyone, leave the brothel!"
After Li Junxian led the army away from Wan Hua Lou, Su Chen...
He shook his head.
It seems the Tang Empire truly cannot withstand the invasion of foreign tribes.
Li Junxian did not order the army to capture him; Li Shimin needed the Sui Empire to rescue the Tang Empire.
Shang Xiufang was in a daze ever since Li Junxian arrived.
Upon Li Junxian's arrival, he did not immediately order the army to arrest Su Chen; in fact, Li Junxian treated Su Chen with great respect.
This was something Shang Xiufang couldn't understand.
"Su Chen, how could Li Junxian let you go? And why is Li Junxian still so respectful to you?"
Su Chen hugged Shang Xiufang's slender waist again and asked, "Beautiful Shang, you don't know about the changes in the Sui Dynasty?"
Shang Xiufang asked Su Chen with a puzzled look.
"Changes in the Sui Dynasty? I've only heard that the Sui emperor died. What other changes have occurred in the Sui Dynasty?"
"It seems you've been kept under house arrest in the brothel, and you're unaware of what's happening outside."
Su Chen shook his head upon hearing Shang Xiufang's words.
Shang Xiufang was probably unaware of the changes that had occurred in the Sui Dynasty, perhaps because she was being held under house arrest at the Wanhua Tower.
"Su Chen, what changes have occurred in the Sui Dynasty?"
Su Chen teased Shang Xiufang, touching her smooth face.
"Shang Meinu, you're going to have a bright future. You've caught the eye of the future emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and you'll be the future empress of the Sui Dynasty."
"You bastard, how could I possibly rule the Sui Dynasty...? You... you've taken control of the Sui Empire?"
Shang Xiufang slapped Su Chen's hand away and was about to retort,
But then she suddenly remembered Li Junxian's respect for Su Chen, and how that bastard had even flirted with her while holding her.
Has the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty taken a liking to me?
It's more like she's been targeted by this bastard.
Shang Xiufang guessed that Su Chen must have taken control of the Sui Empire, otherwise Li Junxian would not have been so respectful to a marquis.
Su Chen nodded and admitted it.
"OK!"
Shang Xiufang looked at Su Chen in astonishment and asked, "How is this possible? How could you possibly take control of the Sui Empire? The Sui Empire has a crown prince as an heir. Did you start a rebellion?"
"Rebellion my foot! I took control of the Sui Empire in a perfectly legitimate way, without any bloodshed."
"How can this be?"
"Nothing is impossible, Miss Shang. You will be my imperial concubine from now on."
·· ····Request flowers····· ····
"You shameless bastard, I won't agree to that."
"Haha, I'll make it a fait accompli, you can't refuse."
"You...you're such a bastard."
Outside the Wan Hua Lou,
With the Imperial Guards arriving one after another, within a short hour, the Wan Hua Lou was completely surrounded by more than 10,000 Imperial Guards.
The Tang Dynasty Imperial Palace
Li Junxian was reporting to Li Shimin the news of Su Chen's arrival in Chang'an.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wuwei is currently in the Wan Hua Lou, but..."
"Just what?"
Li Shimin asked expressionlessly,
Li Shimin did not expect Su Chen to dare to appear in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. He wanted his army to surround and kill Su Chen immediately.
0 ... .......
but,
The Tang Empire was attacked from three sides.
Goryeo, Tibet, and the various kingdoms of the Western Regions—these foreign tribes all wanted to take advantage of the Tang Empire's weakness and seize a piece of its territory.
The Tang Dynasty was short of money and food.
Faced with the attacks of those alien races,
Goryeo is about to conquer Ji Province.
Although the Western Regions kingdoms were temporarily blocked, without the delivery of supplies, the Tang Empire's army would be defeated without a fight.
The Tibetan Empire has already advanced into Jiannan Road. If Jiannan Road is breached, the southwestern gate of the Tang Dynasty will be opened, and the Tibetan Empire can then advance into Hanzhong, thereby threatening the capital Chang'an.
The Tang Empire suffered defeat after defeat against foreign tribes. If Li Shimin were to provoke Su Chen again, the Tang Empire would truly perish.
Li Junxian replied nervously, "It's just that Marquis Wuwei doesn't want to enter the palace, and I dare not force him. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
"Marquis Wuwei, Su Chen, has arrived in Chang'an. He will meet with me sooner or later. Li Junxian, keep a close eye on Marquis Wuwei. He is not allowed to leave Chang'an before I meet with him."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After Li Junxian left, Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.
Marquis Su Chen of Wuwei!
The Great Demon King Su Chen!
That bastard who cheated on him,
Li Shimin harbored deep hatred for Su Chen.
However, he could not attack Su Chen, at least not while the Tang Empire was in turmoil.
"Changsun Wuhou, Guanyinbi, you may be the only bargaining chip to save the Tang Empire, but that depends on how much Su Chen values you."
Chapter 409 Beautiful Women! On this night of the full moon, let's dance to "Gokuraku Jodo"!
Three days later,
In the Wan Hua Lou,
Su Chen ignored the fact that the Wan Hua Lou was surrounded by the Imperial Guards.
Although he hadn't left the Wan Hua Lou these past few days, Liu Sheng Xue Ji and Liu Sheng Piao Xu had frequently gone out, and Su Chen had learned quite a bit about the situation in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was truly in turmoil.
The constant attacks of the alien army,
The Tang army lacked food and supplies.
The powerful families were wary of the Tang Empire and even dared to defy Li Shimin's imperial edicts with force.
Li Shimin was already struggling to control the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Empire continued to decline, the powerful families within the Tang Empire might rebel.
Shang Xiufang watched as Su Chen stayed in the Wan Hua Lou brothel for the past three days, even enjoying the dancers' performances every day. She couldn't understand why Su Chen was so calm.
"Su Chen, are you going to stay in the brothel forever?"
Su Chen took a sip of his drink and shook his head.
