The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

The way in was blocked. If they wanted to get in, they had to pass through these soldiers. Su Ming whispered, "Brother, they are Khitans. Let's not show up yet."

Li Dabai also had a serious look on his face. He thought that they were here to cause trouble and that it would not be a smart move to confront them head-on. He agreed with his idea.

Outside the gate of Tianshi Mansion, Lu Linxuan and Zhang Zifan received a stunning gift and met two stunningly beautiful sisters. Only then did they learn that their true identities were Khitan princesses, and the Khitan they rescued was none other than their leader, Yelu Abaoji.

After some reminiscing, Qingguo Qingcheng ordered the soldiers to go down the mountain to guard the place.

Su Ming, who was not far away, was shocked when he saw this scene. He did not expect that there was such a powerful force behind Zhang Zifan. He controlled the Tianshi Mansion and was on good terms with the Khitans. No wonder he could control the situation in the world in the later plot.

Just as Zhang Zifan was about to step into the Tianshi Mansion, a voice came from outside, "Zhang Zifan, congratulations, you are being hugged by people on both sides, it's a cause for celebration."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Zifan knew who was coming.

Zhang Zifan turned around and saw Su Ming approaching slowly. He laughed and said, "Brother Li, you are finally here."

Just when he wanted to reminisce about the past, he was stunned because he saw another familiar figure.

Chapter 8 Yuan Tiangang's Threat

Zhang Zifan came in front of Li Cunyi and looked him up and down carefully before he dared to confirm, "Fifth Uncle? Why are you here? Long time no see."

When Lu Linxuan saw Su Ming, she ran over and grabbed his hand, "Brother, you're finally here." Calculating the time, she and her brother hadn't seen each other for almost half a year. "Brother, where have you been for so long?"

Su Ming looked at Lu Linxuan, who was as pretty as a flower and looked like the girl next door, and felt deeply moved. Even his childhood sweetheart could be snatched away by someone else. Li Xingyun was really a coward.

"Junior sister, this is a long story, we will talk about it later."

Zhang Zifan and Li Cunyi, uncle and nephew, were reunited and were smiling happily. Seeing Zhang Zifan's playful smile, Lu Linxuan immediately became unhappy, "Zifan, who is he?"

Zhang Zifan smiled awkwardly, then realized that he had neglected his wife, "He is my fifth uncle."

Lu Linxuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Fifth Uncle? Is he from Tongwenguan?" After saying this, there was a hint of wariness in his expression.

Now, Su Ming has been able to fit into the role well, and advised, "Junior sister, don't worry, he is not from the same group as Tongwenguan. We have even sworn brotherhood together, so don't worry."

This time, Lu Linxuan was even more surprised, "Sworn brother? Senior brother, are you sure?"

Zhang Zifan quickly explained, "Lin Xuan, my fifth uncle left Tongwenguan when I was very young. He and Li Siyuan are not on the same side."

After hearing his explanation, Lu Linxuan's expression relaxed.

Li Cunyi stood aside and looked at the couple with a smile, and he did not feel any resentment towards Lu Linxuan's words.

Lu Linxuan showed an embarrassed expression and stepped forward awkwardly, "Lin Xuan meets Uncle Five."

Su Ming hit Li Cunyi and winked at him.

Seeing his familiar movements, Li Cunyi's doubts gradually dissipated and he smiled, "You must be Lin Xuan, Zifan is so lucky."

This time, Lu Linxuan was embarrassed again.

Zhang Zifan pulled Li Cunyi and said with a smile, "Why are you all standing at the door? Let's go in and talk."

Under Zhang Zifan's arrangement, the Tianshi Mansion quickly prepared the dishes, and the table was filled with people toasting and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.

Then, everyone started talking about their experiences.

The two stunning sisters were Khitan princesses. After being found by the Khitans, they spent their days frolicking and hunting on the grassland. They only came out with their brother after hearing the news of Zhang Zifan's wedding.

The Khitan they rescued was their brother Yelü Abaoji, who was also the leader of the Khitan people. However, he left for something, so he didn't come.

After leaving Tongwenguan, Li Cun Yi has been traveling around the world for many years, making the whole world his home and going wherever there is wine.

After they finished speaking, they all turned their gazes to Su Ming.

Because, when the few people were chatting just now, he was drinking alone and didn't say anything.

Su Ming looked at them and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Drink."

Lu Linxuan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the wine jug from his hand, saying with concern, "Brother, don't drink anymore. You'll get drunk if you drink any more."

Zhang Zifan looked at Su Ming's gloomy face and asked, "Brother Li, where is Miss Xue? Why didn't she come with you?"

Speaking of Ji Ruxue, Su Ming showed a bitter smile on his face, as if he didn't want to mention it.

When the two beautiful sisters saw him like this, they immediately became unhappy, "Brother, what's wrong with you? If anyone provokes you, tell us and we will vent your anger for you."

Su Ming burped, pretending to be drunk, and said angrily, "Venge my anger? Can you beat Yuan Tiangang? Can you deal with the Bad People?"

Without waiting for their answer, he continued to talk to himself, "You can't do it. No one in this world can do it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart sank, and they hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what happened? What happened to Yuan Tiangang?"

Su Ming glanced around and said drunkenly, "Since you want to know, I will tell you."

"Xue'er was seriously injured after the battle at Qianling Mausoleum and could not be saved. Later, she came back to life. However, her resurrection was not without a price. She had been controlled by someone."

"In the past six months, I have read all the medical books, but I couldn't find a way to cure her. Chi Meng said she was poisoned by a Gu, and I was half-believing and half-doubting. But I didn't expect Chi Meng to kidnap Xue'er and take her down the mountain."

"When I found them, Xue'er's condition had worsened. Later, Xue'er took me to see that person under the control of the person behind the scenes."

"You all know who he is even without me telling you."

Having said that, Su Ming drank the wine in the glass.

"Yuan Tiangang? Was it him who saved Ji Ruxue?" Zhang Zifan exclaimed. He didn't expect that there was actually a way in this world that could bring a person back to life.

"Except for him, the Bad Commander, no one in this world can do it." Li Cun Yi also had a solemn expression on his face. When mentioning the Bad Commander, a shadow was cast over everyone's heart.

Lu Linxuan continued to ask, "Brother, why did Bad Leader look for you?"

Su Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly again, "What else can he do with me?"

Zhang Zifan quickly figured out the key point. "He wants you to restore the Tang Dynasty?" Everyone agreed. After the battle in Luoyang, Yuan Tiangang's intentions were no longer a secret. "He used Ji Ruxue to threaten you? This Yuan Tiangang is so abominable! A dignified bad commander actually did such a thing!"

Su Ming sighed and continued, "Don't you understand? In order to restore the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang would do anything."

"It would be fine if it was just me and Xue'er, but Yuan Tiangang told me: As long as they are human, they will have flaws, and as long as there are flaws, he can solve them."

"And my flaws are already obvious, Ji Ruxue, you and the friends I know are all my flaws. Yuan Tiangang knows what kind of person I am, so there is nothing he can't do."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

In this world, the three words "Yuan Tiangang" carry too much weight. Even those warlords who hold power over the world and have countless elite troops under their command are no match for Yuan Tiangang.

If such a person wants to use every possible means to deal with another person, no one can stop him.

At this moment, everyone understood why he was so depressed just now.

At this point, the atmosphere of the gathering had already dissipated. Zhang Zifan waved his folding fan, frowning, "So, you promised Yuan Tiangang that you would fight for supremacy and restore the Tang Dynasty?"

Su Ming did not answer, but just showed a bitter smile.

Although he did not answer, he was better than answering.

Everyone knows that no one in this world can resist Yuan Tiangang's will, not even Li Xingyun, the direct descendant of the Tang Dynasty!

Chapter 9 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills

Since Yuan Tiangang has said that, it means he can do anything.

If Li Xingyun doesn't agree, all his friends will die! When it comes to their own lives, no one will be so selfless as to sacrifice their lives in exchange for his freedom.

In this world, no one is so noble. Everyone has selfish desires, Lu Linxuan and Zhang Zifan are like this.

Before, Zhang Zifan supported Li Xingyun and didn't want him to compete for world domination because the world was already chaotic enough, and he had enough ability to protect himself in this chaotic world, plus with the Tianshi Mansion, it was more than enough to protect his family.

Therefore, Zhang Zifan can fully support Li Xingyun in his resistance against Yuan Tiangang.

But now, if he continues to do this, it is very likely that he will invite revenge from Yuan Tiangang. Not only will he die, but his wife, his relatives and the entire Tianshi Mansion will be implicated.

"Brother Li, what are you going to do now?"

Su Ming sighed, his brows furrowed tightly, his face flushed with drunkenness, "I don't know, forget about it for now, let's drink."

He stood up shakily, snatched the wine jug from Lu Linxuan's hand, filled it for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Lu Linxuan immediately became anxious and was about to snatch back the wine pot, but was stopped by Zhang Zifan. Her face was full of confusion. Zhang Zifan sighed and said, "Your senior brother has encountered too many things recently. Let him get drunk."

Li Cunyi took out the wine flask and gulped down the drink. "Zifan is right. Let him drink. He will be fine after he gets drunk and takes a nap."

Seeing this, Lu Linxuan stopped persuading him and just looked at Su Ming with eyes full of pity.

Su Ming lay on the table and said intermittently, "Junior sister, tell me, if we hadn't gone down the mountain, how good it would have been..."

In such an atmosphere, Qingguo Qingcheng stopped making noise and ate their food in silence. Although they are both lively, it doesn't mean they don't read people's expressions.

His arrival diluted the joy of Zhang Zifan's wedding and also cast a shadow on the Tianshi Mansion.

Soon, he was drunk and passed out. Zhang Zifan supported him and took him to the guest room. "Don't go, I can still drink..." Su Ming gradually fell asleep amidst his drunken words.

As soon as Su Ming left, the banquet ended. No one was in the mood to reminisce, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

After Zhang Zifan left, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, where was the slightest hint of drunkenness in his eyes? He had been pretending to be drunk from beginning to end.

Sometimes, drunken talk is easier to accept than the truth.

After you sober up, pretend nothing happened and the effect will be better.

Originally, Su Ming wanted to get rid of all these familiar people to avoid exposing any flaws, but when he saw the two stunning sisters, he changed his mind.

It would be a pity to leave such a huge force there. Once the power of the Khitans and the Tianshi Mansion is utilized, it will be enough to influence the game.

Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills. If you act well, you will not suffer any loss.

······

It was late at night and the sound of insects chirping in the courtyard added a bit of color to the quiet night.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Is Mr. Li here?" Outside the house, a man was standing at the door holding a tea tray.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Su Ming got up, opened the door, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Standing in front of him was a slim mature woman. She was not wearing any makeup, but she was naturally beautiful, with skin as white as jade and eyes as clear as autumn water.

Although she wore very conservative clothes, it was still difficult to conceal her mature and charming temperament. Her smooth eyebrows revealed both gentleness and sharpness.

Su Ming took a quick look and then looked away, asking in confusion, "Who are you?"

The beautiful woman smiled gently and said softly, "Mr. Li, I am Zifan's mother. You all drank a little too much tonight. I'll bring you some hangover soup. Drink it while it's hot."

Su Ming suddenly realized that she was Xu Huan, the chief priest of the Thirteen Provinces of the Tianshi Mansion.

More than ten years ago, her son Zhang Zifan was abducted by Li Siyuan, and her husband Zhang Xuanling was knocked off a cliff by Li Siyuan and disappeared. In the end, she was the only one who supported the huge family business of Tianshi Mansion.

If it weren't for her, the Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Master's Mansion would have been replaced long ago.

He stepped aside to open the door and replied, "Thank you, auntie. Please come in."
