As the emperor of Daliang, he knew the secrets of the immortals on land. He was the guardian of the Nine Provinces born out of the fortune of one state and a ninth-rank master.

At this time, the Langya List was recognized by all major forces in Yangzhou, which meant that the Langya List had carried the destiny of Yangzhou and was likely to give birth to land immortals in Yangzhou.

It’s just that the land immortals are not on the Young Masters List, but on the Martial Arts List.

Langya Pavilion is playing a big game!

Unconsciously, the "evil ambition" of Langya Bang became clear.

For a moment, all the civil and military officials in the court were amazed at the keen eye of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, who actually revealed the mystery in one sentence. They were afraid that Langya List would become more lively in the future.

Even Prince Yu and others were all shocked. They didn't expect that Langya Pavilion had secretly set up such a huge chess game.

"Your Highness Prince Yan has a keen eye and saw through the conspiracy of Langya Pavilion at a glance."

“This king is just outside the situation, so he sees it more clearly.

Moreover, the layout of Langya Bang seemed reasonable, but in fact it still underestimated the heroes of the world. According to their plan, the luck of Yangzhou would give birth to a new land immortal, and only a great master of celestial phenomena would be needed to suppress the heroes of Yangzhou.

But man proposes, God disposes. The immortals on earth are the chosen ones by God, so how can human power exhaust them?"

The plan of Langya Bang is good, but in Li Shouxi's opinion, the worldly atmosphere in Yangzhou is too strong, and warriors are incompatible with the fortune here.

What is luck?

Qishu means destiny.

But it is also the spirit of Yangzhou.

The "Economy Travel Fu" says:

Feel the harmony of destiny and enjoy the success of the times.

The land immortals are similar to the Hedao. Only by being in harmony with the spirit of Yangzhou can they be favored by the fortune of Yangzhou.

If you are not in harmony with the spirit of Yangzhou, you will naturally not be favored by the fortune of Yangzhou.

"Your Highness Prince Yan is not optimistic about the strong men on the Langya List?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen what happened to those noble families?"

Li Shouxi's casual question shocked King Liang. He realized that the Langya List was not as magical as Li Shouxi said. Otherwise, Xuanbu and Meng Zhi would not be honored.

It’s not that there are no thousand-year-old families in Yangzhou, but now Yangzhou is divided into many factions, and these families are hiding.

Dynasties come and go, but families remain forever!

Before seeing the situation clearly, the aristocratic family will not act rashly, otherwise even a thousand-year-old family cannot afford such a waste.

Chapter 15: The Legend of the Fish Monster and the Legend of the Sword Immortal

"Meng Zhi, do you think those two big guys have a chance of defeating Nihuang?"

"Your Majesty, how could Meng Zhi not have heard of the names of these two great generals?

The god of war in Liaodong, the god of killing in the eyes of the barbarians, has reached the ninth level of Vajra Realm, and is only stronger than this humble servant.

Especially the golden-armored Yuwen Chengdu, whose strength is unfathomable."

Meng Zhi was the commander of the imperial guards of Daliang. He had always been by the side of King Liang to protect his safety. He also saw the two generals beside Li Shouxi during the day.

Being both at the Vajra realm, they can sense each other without hiding anything.

What's more, the names of the two have long been famous throughout the country.

Among the nine passes in the north, only Longmen Pass has the upper hand in the confrontation with the barbarians and can plunder the enemy.

It depends on these two top masters leading the charge.

Especially Yuwen Chengdu is a special sign-in, a person with extraordinary talent like Wang Meng. With the perfection of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, when the combat power is fully opened, it is equivalent to the real Buddhist Vajra Realm, not inferior to the Tianxiang Grandmaster.

However, in normal battles, Yuwen Chengdu would not reveal his trump card.

"Not below you?"

Upon hearing this, King Wu of Liang looked at Meng Zhi and frowned.

Meng Zhi is the best martial artist in Daliang and ranks second on the Langya Martial Arts List. Doesn't that mean the masters around Li Shouxi can rank first or second on the Langya List?

As for the young men from famous families who arrived early from the Tang Dynasty, their strength was only at the eighth rank at best.

The difference is so huge that it is impossible to measure!

But King Wu of Liang forgot that in the Tang Empire, there was not a single young man from a prominent family or an outstanding person around the age of 30 who was not married.

The candidates from the Tang Dynasty who came from afar were basically second-rate people eliminated from prominent families. How could they be compared with the geniuses of the prosperous Tang Dynasty such as Li Shentong and Yuwen Chengdu?

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a country of etiquette, where "equal status" was the most important thing.

What's more, those powerful warriors from aristocratic families have basically established a family and a career by the age of thirty.

"The Tang Dynasty is indeed full of talented people!"

With two masters who were among the top three on the Langya List, plus an extremely powerful beast like Hu Kui, even King Wu of Liang had to sigh at the talented people and beautiful scenery of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let Princess Nihuang marry into the Tang Dynasty?"

"Now that the matchmaking arena has been set up, there is no reason to regret it.

What's more, the two generals are well matched with Nihuang, and their strength is even higher than Nihuang's. What's wrong with this? This is a match made in heaven, and I believe Nihuang will not object."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Only then did Meng Zhi realize that his behavior had overstepped the mark.

However, King Liang did not doubt Meng Zhi, he just thought that Meng Zhi did not understand his plan.

For King Liang, this was the most suitable marriage.

The background and strength displayed by Li Shouxi today made King Liang sigh that the great prince of the Celestial Empire has reached a great height.

At this time, Li Shouxi was not someone that even the Emperor of Tang could control at will.

He didn't believe that the young prince who could see through the layout of Langya Pavilion would not see through the conspiracy of the Tang Emperor to send him to Daliang. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan must have a backup plan in Yan, and he believed that there would be news soon.

After all, now is the best time to take action.

····

The imperial palace!

Mei Jian, who was wearing a pink skirt and red sleeves, had just lit the exotic lamp oil when Lan Jianlian, who was also graceful and charming in white, came over with two gold-plated invitations in her slender hands. Then she said in a clear and sweet voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate:

"Your Highness, the steward of the Crown Prince of Daliang and Prince Yu just sent an invitation, inviting Your Highness to attend a banquet at the palace tomorrow."

"Put it somewhere."

As for the two invitations, Li Shouxi naturally knew the purpose of the two people.

However, not to mention that he was far away in Liaodong, even the Tang Dynasty did not border Daliang, so the plans of the two were doomed to fail.

In addition, the two are not the ultimate winners and are not worthy of Li Shouxi's investment.

However, we still have to observe the proper etiquette.

The next day, Li Shouxi went to the banquet with two generous gifts that he had prepared in advance.

This made the Crown Prince and Prince Yu feel flattered.

Even though these gifts are only a "small amount" of local specialties, their rarity makes them valuable. Their value in Jiangnan is immeasurable and can be worth tens of thousands of gold.

After all, cliff honey is the aristocrat among honeys, snow frog oil is a treasure for beauty and skin care, and oriental pearls are dazzling...

Therefore, both of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:

Liaodong is a blessed land.

You must know that as Li Shouxi moved into the palace, those merchants of all sizes also dispersed in the streets and alleys of Jinling City after getting off the ship to sell their own goods.

Mink and fox fur, ginseng and snow clam, oriental pearls and agate...

In Liaodong, they can only be regarded as precious local specialties, but in Jiangnan, they are top-level luxury goods.

In addition, thanks to the diplomatic envoy this time, all the Liaodong specialties were snapped up by major trading companies in Jiangnan as soon as they arrived.

And they are all high prices!

For example, the cost of purchasing snow clam is at most one penny of silver per head, but after getting off the ship, each head costs at least one tael of silver, and then it can be sold for several taels of silver. Not to mention the ginseng from Taibai Mountain, a century-old ginseng originally cost ten taels of silver, but here it costs at least a hundred taels of silver.

Pearls worth a hundred gold coins, fur coats worth a thousand gold coins, musk deer worth ten thousand gold coins...

This is the cargo of twenty Jiaolong boats. Although not all of them have been sold out, it is still an extremely large amount.

For a while, everyone made a lot of money, so naturally they needed to celebrate.

Therefore, at night, the prosperous Jiangnan restaurant is full of guests and the atmosphere is bustling!

After drinking, everyone started chatting about everything under the sun.

Especially when Li Shouxi slaughtered the giant sea monster, everyone was cheering loudly, it was really lively.

Under the questioning of those gossipers, the merchants exaggerated the incident of encountering a sea monster at sea.

Just facing the behemoth that was no less huge than a dragon-class ship, he could not muster the slightest resistance, let alone killing such a huge and terrifying sea monster by himself.

Li Shouxi did this impossible thing.

Especially when sorting out the harvest, everyone did the dissection together, so the merchants could feel the huge size of the alien sperm whale even more.

At first, no one believed this horrifying thing.

But when more and more people say it, and their statements are consistent, it's like three people make a tiger, and it's impossible for everyone to not believe it.

After all, there were so many people, and many of them were drunk and talking nonsense, so their tone didn't sound like they were lying at all.

What's more, after killing the sea monster, Li Shouxi also seized a large amount of spoils.

One of them was ordinary spermaceti presented to King Liang, which amounted to ten cubic meters. This was clearly recorded in the official gift list and was a special oil added later.

In addition, there were exotic fish fins, huge fish bladders, and a lot of oil in the cabin, which made people unable to help but believe it.

The leftover fish was processed at the port.

For a time, the dignitaries in Jinling City were full of curiosity about the noble and elegant young prince.

What kind of genius must the young prince be who can fight against such a terrifying giant Kun?

In addition to his unparalleled martial arts skills, this legendary young prince is also a sword immortal sought after by all of Kyushu, which astonishes everyone.

This is news that has never been heard before, and everyone has seen it with their own eyes, so it cannot be false.

It adds a bit of mystery to Li Shouxi.

Chapter 16: The Oiran Gong Yu is a Rare Good

Ding Dong!

The sound of the piano is melodious and pleasant, as crisp as a lark in the forest, as tumbling as a mountain stream, and the lingering sound of nature lingers in the ears for three days.

Inside Miaoyinfang, a group of dignitaries were gazing at the stunning beauty on the jade stage who looked like a goddess from Yaochi. She had a fair complexion, dignified beauty, and a saintly elegance that could be admired from afar but not desecrated. She was worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in Jinling.

As the song came to an end, most people were still immersed in the melodious and lingering piano music.

"This song should only exist in heaven, it is rare to hear it in the world!

Miss Gong Yu's piano skills are indeed superb. Yun's trip is worthwhile. This box of pearls is just a token of my appreciation. I hope Miss Gong Yu will accept it."

As he spoke, a box of priceless round oriental pearls was given away by a middle-aged businessman at a great expense.

Under the light, there were at least a hundred round, evenly sized pearls in the treasure box. Each one was close to an inch in diameter, and was completely different from the small, transparent pearls from Jiangnan.

"Dear guest Miao Zan, this is an honor for Gong Yu!

But with so many precious pearls, Gong Yu should not accept them without merit, so please take them back."

Although they survived on gifts from distinguished guests, they would not easily accept overly expensive gifts.

Especially for an oiran like Gong Yu who sells her art but not her body, she would not accept a generous gift from a stranger unless it was given by a familiar customer. Otherwise, once a dispute arose or a certain mark was placed on her, rumors that were unfavorable to her would inevitably spread!

Although in the eyes of the world, prostitutes are still of low status, but they themselves consider themselves to be the best among prostitutes.

"Ms. Gong Yu, please don't refuse. In fact, Yun has something to ask of you this time.

These pearls are all freshwater pearls produced from the Heishui River in Liaodong. Each one is large and full with excellent color. With a little decoration, they can become gorgeous and elegant top-grade jewelry, which is very suitable for a fairy figure like Miss Gong Yu.
