However, the loyalty of animals is far stronger than that of humans. Unless Li Shouxi seeks death, it is impossible for Hu Kui to betray Li Shouxi and join another master.

"Brother Su, do you know those two generals? Princess Nihuang might be in danger this time.

I didn’t expect that the Tang Empire would not only send envoys to Daliang, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan would also send these two battlefield death gods.”

"The commander of the Black Armored Cavalry, Li Shentong, and the commander of the Prince of Yan's Palace, Yuwen Chengdu, are both top-level warriors at the ninth level of the Vajra Realm.

Moreover, these two have never lost a battle since their debut, and have been invincible on the battlefield. In terms of strength, even the top master of Daliang, Commander Meng Zhi, may not be a match for any of them. "

The young man in white looked at the two generals with his bright eyes and a little solemnity. These were true top masters.

In the entire Daliang Kingdom, only Meng Zhi, the commander of the Imperial Guards, could fight against it.

Moreover, Meng Zhi had been guarding the Daliang Forbidden Palace for many years, and he rarely fought life-and-death battles with masters of the same level;

But these two were battle-hardened generals who had fought on the battlefield with His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and had countless life-and-death battles with barbarian masters. They were far more murderous than Meng Zhi.

Especially Yuwen Chengdu, his battle record is so strong that he can be called the number one person under the immortals on earth!

Not to mention Princess Nihuang, even Xuan Bu, who is ranked first on the Langya List, may not be able to defeat the opponent.

Such a terrifying master came to propose marriage, and this time Princess Nihuang had no way to avoid him.

···

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan of the Tang Dynasty are already waiting at the palace gate!"

Feast at the royal palace.

After hearing the eunuch's report, King Liang immediately asked someone to invite Li Shouxi in.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials of Daliang also looked outside, curious about the demeanor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan from the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that according to the legend, this illegitimate prince of the empire, the true King of Liaodong, was brave enough to fight against ten thousand men and the Overlord of Western Chu. Otherwise, he would not have always had the upper hand in the confrontation with the barbarians moving south and won so many victories.

Therefore, the people also portrayed him as a rough warrior who is over ten feet tall, with a majestic face and arms with the power of a dragon and an elephant.

But as members of the aristocratic class, they knew that the eldest prince was truly a child of destiny!

He has been a martial arts genius since childhood, and is both civil and military.

After being enthroned in Liaodong, he was like a dragon entering the sea. In just a few years, he had become the king of Liaodong.

Even Liaodong, which was originally a cold and bitter place, was gradually developed into the Jiangnan of the Great Wall.

Soon, everyone saw the Crown Prince Xiao Jingxuan and a handsome young man with eyes as bright as ink, walking in with dragon-like and tiger-like steps. Behind them were two burly generals in black and gold armor, six officials from the Tang Dynasty delegation, and at the end were three eunuchs holding treasure boxes, which made everyone's eyes sparkle.

What a young man in this troubled times!

Although there are many talented and romantic men in Jiangnan, few can compare with him.

What's more, this man is not only a man of extraordinary talent, but also has the ability to govern the country and command troops. In just a few years, he managed the Liaodong area very successfully and established his own regime.

The generals looked at Li Shentong and Yuwen Chengdu, all with fear on their faces.

Just by looking at the murderous aura from the two men, the generals could feel that Li Shentong and Yuwen Chengdu were definitely not just show-offs, but genuine warriors on the battlefield.

Because they were not allowed to bring weapons when they came in, the two of them each held a Nine Dragon Sword and a Dragon Scale Sword!

One is the axe in the prince's suit, which represents the nine gifts;

The first is Li Shouxi's protective magic weapon, the 'Young Scale Sword', which is a gentleman's sword, so it still has some face.

This is no longer a weapon, but the "Nine Gifts" gift of the Tang Empire.

"Li Shouxi of the Tang Dynasty greets His Majesty the King of Liang!"

Li Shouxi did not perform any grand ceremony, he just bowed his hands to show courtesy.

In terms of power, Li Shouxi was not inferior to King Wu of Liang, but there was a difference between him being a vassal of an emperor and an independent king.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat!"

King Liang did not dare to act arrogantly. If Li Shouxi was not a prince of the Tang Dynasty at that time, their identities would be equal.

After all, Li Shouxi controlled the Liaodong area, and his 300,000 Yanyun soldiers were real elite troops, not the garrison troops whose armor coverage rate was less than 30% and who had long lacked training, and whose combat power was completely incomparable.

What's more, Li Shouxi has been resisting the northern barbarians for many years. They are a real battle-hardened army.

"Thank you, Your Majesty King Liang.

These are the three state gifts that this king has prepared—Thousand-year-old Snow Ganoderma, Top-quality Oriental Pearl, and Top-grade Zen Incense!"

The three young eunuchs opened the treasure box, and saw a Ganoderma lucidum as big as snow, a bright yellow and shining "huge" pearl, and a bundle of Buddhist incense emitting a strange fragrance.

"The thousand-year-old snow ganoderma has the miraculous effect of prolonging life and healing internal injuries, and is rare in the world; the top-quality oriental pearls are three inches in diameter, and are round and full, with a gorgeous golden color, and are the top-grade freshwater pearls; Zen incense can calm the mind, help sleep, and regulate the body. Especially these, one stick can burn for twelve hours, a total of one thousand sticks!!"

Among the three treasures, the top-grade Zen incense was placed last.

In terms of its rarity, it is now exclusively owned by Li Shouxi, and is made from a mixture of exotic spermaceti oil and sandalwood.

The exotic spermaceti oil is one of the rarest treasures of the universe. Its original burning speed is more than a hundred times that of ordinary spermaceti oil. However, after being made into sandalwood, its burning speed is completely opposite. One stick of incense can burn for twelve hours.

However, it no longer has the effect of assisting in cultivation, it only has the effect of calming the mind and enlightening the heart.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness Prince Yan. I will accept it!"

King Liang looked at the opened gift box. The longevity effect of the thousand-year-old snow glossy plant and the huge, sparkling golden pearls made King Liang happy.

As for the top-grade Zen incense?

Although King Liang did not know the secret of this Zen incense, since Li Shouxi placed it last, it must be the most precious of the three. This made King Liang full of anticipation and he planned to try it tonight.

In addition, the eunuch also handed over the gift list for this celebration:

Yanshan cliff honey, Taibai Mountain snow clam, top-quality sable fur... Even King Liang couldn't help but twitch his mouth after seeing them.

As a gift, he would give back as many gifts as Li Shouxi gave him.

And it’s serious, not light!

After all, the Tang Dynasty was a great country.

Therefore, seeing the value of these gifts, Daliang was afraid that he would have to empty out the inner treasury.

Cliff honey is good for health, snow clam is good for beauty, sable fur is precious... The corresponding national gifts must be gorgeous porcelain, precious tea, top-grade brocade...

This is where King Liang is in trouble.

It's not that he doesn't want to return the gift, but these things are extremely time-consuming, such as porcelain is the best among thousands, an inch of brocade is worth an inch of blood, and tea is limited in quantity and not suitable for storage at sea...

Once the brocade, porcelain, and four treasures of the study are cleared out, the Daliang Kingdom will have to tighten its belt and reduce food for a long time.

However, King Liang was also pleased by Li Shouxi's generous gift.

This shows the importance he attaches to his main role.

What's more, Li Shouxi's gift is absolutely perfect, and rare things are valuable!

Chapter 14: Princess Nihuang and the Langya Situation

"Haha, these two generals must be the heroes participating in this county horse competition?"

When King Liang saw the general standing behind Li Shouxi with a sword in his hand, if the sword had not been inlaid with a nine-clawed golden dragon or decorated with golden scales, he would have thought that the Tang Dynasty was ignorant of etiquette.

However, according to the Nine Gifts of "Axe and Halberd", people in the Tang Dynasty could carry swords to court.

What’s more, he is Daliang!

After all, Li Shouxi dared to display it openly, and the Tang envoys acquiesced, which shows that this is a sword bestowed by the Tang Emperor.

The same is true for the Nine-Chapter Crown with Hidden Dragon Pattern. "Granted clothes" such as the Flying Fish Clothes and the Qilin Clothes are symbols of the highest status among officials.

"Your Majesty, Prince Liang, understands clearly!

This one is General Li Shentong, a member of the royal family of our Great Tang Dynasty and the commander of the Black Armor Iron Cavalry; this one is General Yuwen Chengdu, a direct descendant of the prominent Yuwen family of our Great Tang Dynasty and the commander of the five prefecture guards of the Prince of Yan's Palace. Both of them are heroes of the time and fierce generals on the battlefield.

This time, I am on a diplomatic mission to Daliang on the orders of the Emperor of Tang, and I have many capable generals and warriors with me.

But in terms of appearance, family background, martial arts, and literary talent...they are the only two who can match Princess Nihuang.

As for who will get the beauty, it all depends on Princess Nihuang's choice."

Everyone was impressed by Li Shouxi's confidence.

Princess Nihuang is the Valkyrie of their Daliang. They don't want Princess Nihuang to marry outside and increase the power of others.

Besides this, both the Crown Prince and Prince Yu hoped to gain the support of the Southern Border Iron Cavalry. If Princess Nihuang married someone else, there would naturally be no way for them to form an alliance through marriage.

But King Liang ignored all this. As long as Princess Nihuang did not marry into a neighboring country, marrying into the Tang Dynasty would also be a good thing.

Apart from the marriage between the two parties, Liaodong and Yangzhou were tens of thousands of miles apart.

Moreover, their family background, martial arts skills, character and appearance... are all well matched.

This is an important criterion for marriage between the two parties.

"It turns out to be General Li and General Yuwen. Please take a seat, generals."

"Li Shentong (Yuwen Chengdu) thanks His Majesty the King of Liang!"

The two did not refuse. They were also third-rank generals in the Tang Dynasty, which was enough to rank among the top.

Otherwise, as a military general, it would be impossible for him to walk ahead of the Tang Dynasty envoys.

Because his rank was far above these envoys.

There were six Tang Dynasty envoys, five of them were deputy sixth-rank officials and one was a regular sixth-rank official, a difference of five ranks between them.

Even the leader of the escort mission was a fifth-rank commander of the Qianniu Guard.

“I have long heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan fought against the barbarians in the north and governed Liaodong, and he is a role model for all the princes and wise kings in the world.

After meeting him today, I realized that the rumors were too conservative. His Highness is so handsome and elegant that he is probably not inferior to the top of the Langya list."

"Jing Huan, stop being so presumptuous!"

Suddenly there was a loud angry rebuke, and it turned out that Prince Yu's flattery had indeed hit the horse's leg.

In Prince Yu's eyes, the 'Number One on the Langya List' is a rare master in the world.

But in the eyes of King Liang, the top of the Langya list is just a country boy, how can he be compared with the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Yan.

This is a class that cannot be crossed, and putting them together is an insult.

Amid Prince Yu's confusion and grievance, Li Shouxi couldn't help but smile and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Highness Prince Yu is also praising me highly.

Everyone has their own strengths in civil and military affairs. In many people's minds, I am just a warrior. If my literary talent can be compared with that Jiangzuo Meilang, my talent will be considered the best in Kyushu."

"The King of Yan is being modest.

A little bit of scheming may bring a small profit, but governing a country and managing the world is the kingly way, which cannot be compared with such small profits.

Jing Heng is ignorant, I hope King Yan will forgive me."

"Your Highness Prince Yan, please forgive me. It was Jing Huan who spoke without thinking."

Only when Prince Yu heard Prince Liang's explanation did he realize that he had violated a taboo.

If Li Shouxi hadn't cared, today's matter would have been difficult.

The Crown Prince on the side had a hidden smile on his face. For him, Prince Yu's defeat was a mistake made by his political enemies.

After all, as competitors for the throne, Prince Yu considers himself a wise prince and is deeply loved by Prince Liang, making him his biggest competitor for the throne.

“No problem, I already knew the situation in Yangzhou when I came here.

A volume of "Langya Bang" contains all the outstanding talents in the world.

The Langya List collected heroes from all over Yangzhou, not only to rank the heroes of the world and guide them to compete with each other. Another purpose was to collect luck and give birth to the land gods in Yangzhou!

Those who can enter the Langya List are all heroes in Yangzhou.

Just like the Baiyue people raising Gu, the winner of the final competition may very well be the future earthly immortal. "

hiss hiss hiss...

Upon hearing this, Prince Liang's expression changed slightly. He did not expect that there was such a secret in the Langya List.

But if you think about it carefully, fame is just a kind of luck.

The Langya List gathers all the talents in the world, which means it is collecting the luck of all the talents in Yangzhou.
