"Haha, my talent is no match for that of my lord...I am willing to admit defeat."
Hearing this, Wang Changling smiled heartily and did not care about Li Taibai's dissatisfaction. He knew that his best friend was trying to vindicate him in disguise.
It is said that he sent a letter to Li Taibai a few days ago.
I thought I would have to wait half a month to see my old friend, but to my surprise... After Li Taibai left Shushan, he went straight to the Eastern Capital. Just now, he and Xue Song were discussing printing manuscripts in the village.
When something happened, I suddenly felt a strong aura outside the village, so I guessed that it might be my old friend coming.
Except for the ninth-grade master, there was no one else who could make him feel the pressure.
When I saw it, it turned out to be true.
"Nonsense, I still don't know your talents? How many people in the entire Tang Dynasty can compare with you? You must be careless."
After getting off the donkey, Li Taibai glanced at Wang Changling and didn't believe it.
"Haha, when my old friend meets my lord, he will know how talented my lord is! By the way, this is Mr. Xue Song, and he is also my lord's subordinate!"
Wang Changling took the reins of the donkey and introduced Xue Song.
"Junior Xue Song has met the layman Qinglian!"
Xue Song couldn't hide his excitement and hurriedly saluted.
As a Jianghu person, you can imagine how you feel when you see the rumored ninth-grade master. Counting on your fingers, the number of ninth-grade masters in the Tang Dynasty is only a slap in the face.
The leader of Mount Xumi, the leader of Tianyin Sect, the bad commander of bad people, and the Qinglian layman Li Taibai, and there is also a person in the world who is called a poet, but this person is not included in the list.
Inside.
"It seems that your lord is still quite good, and he actually has a seventh-grade mid-level warrior following him... By the way, where is your lord? I want to know him!"
After Li Taibai nodded as an elder, he said slightly surprised.
As a ninth-level master, he could see Xue Song's true strength at a glance. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, it should not be easy for him to conquer a seventh-level warrior.
"My master is giving a lecture. My old friend will come to the village for the time being. I will ask Xue Langjun to invite my master later."
Wang Changling smiled.
This old friend of mine has such a temper.
He probably had the idea at this moment to test his husband's talents, but the invitation to layman Qinglian was decided privately between him and Xue Song, and his lord didn't know yet.
"Lectures on books? What lectures on books?"
Hearing this, Li Taibai raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
"You'll know when my old friend enters the manor! It's already getting late, so let's have a meal first! My lord should be back after the meal."
Wang Changling nodded towards Xue Song.
Xue Song understood and immediately took the reins of the donkey.
The purpose of inviting layman Qinglian over this time was not to reminisce about old times, but to enhance the strength of his husband and ask for help. Therefore, Wang Changling and Xue Song had already prepared hot pot in the manor in advance.
"That's fine!"
Li Taibai is no longer entangled.
Anyway, I came here this time firstly because I was invited by Wang Changling, and secondly to see what kind of talent this book writer had that could convince Wang Changling to lose. I had plenty of time.
"please!"
"please!"
...........
The words are divided into two sides,
More than an hour later, at the urging of Li Mansion's housekeeper, the carriage finally entered Luoyang City.
After paying for the carriage and horse, he found an inn. Li Guan did not dare to take a rest, and soon he arrived at a square near the Luoyang government office.
"Perhaps we can only ask Wang Si for help! He is an official after all, so maybe he can find a way!"
Speaking of coming to Luoyang this time, Li Guan originally did not intend to use this relationship, but after hearing what those people in the world said at the tea stall, he had to change his original plan.
Who would have thought that meeting a restaurant owner would be so difficult?
Li Guan came to see a Prime Minister from Qipin County named Wang Si.
This person was a cousin of his, and he had close contacts with him back then. However, after Wang Si took office in Luoyang, the eastern capital, his contacts with him became much less frequent.
As for Li Mo, the third young master in the mansion, Li Guan didn't even consider it.
Yibo Tower is now at its peak, how can Li Mo help with his ability? When the business is done, I will leave him two taels of silver to buy some things according to my master's instructions!
"The palace? It should be here!"
Looking at the high door of the mansion, Li Guan adjusted his posture and looked at the things in his hands, then stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
In order to do something this time, he specially bought a lot of gifts from Xidu.
After a while, the door of the mansion opened, and a young man's body came out.
"Who are you...."
"I, Li Guan, come from the Li Mansion in the Western Capital. I would like to see your master!"
Li Guan said hurriedly.
His posture was very low. Although he was a cousin, the other party was an official after all, and he was just a housekeeper.
"Xidu Li Mansion? Please wait!"
After hearing these words and looking at the things Li Guan was carrying, the boy's expression changed and he nodded immediately.
"Thank you!"
Li Guan raised his hand.
After about a while, the door of the mansion opened again. The servant nodded slightly and said, "Master Li, my master is waiting in the lobby. Please come with me!"
"Um!"
Although Wang Si did not go out to greet him, Li Guan did not care.
If it were him, as a seventh-rank county magistrate, it would be impossible for him to go out in person to greet a housekeeper.
The palace was not small. After walking around three times and entering the lobby, Li Guan finally saw his cousin.
"What kind of wind brought my brother here from the west today? Hurry up and serve tea to Mr. Li!"
In the lobby, an old man in his fifties dressed in brocade clothes stood up and said with a hearty smile. He is Li Guan's cousin Wang Si.
"Long time no see, brother. How are you?"
Li Guan placed the gift in his hand on the table beside him.
"so far so good....."
After some pleasantries, and after the maid served tea, Wang Si said calmly, "I don't know why my brother came here this time..."
"To be honest, brother, I have come here to ask for something!"
Li Guan also stopped being polite.
"Oh? It's okay, brother. If brother can help, he won't stand idly by!"
Wang Si stroked his beard and subconsciously glanced at the gifts on the table. He said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. His cousin, who has been a housekeeper in the Li Mansion all year round, did not have the habit of giving gifts for no reason.
Of course, I will definitely help if I can help!
Although the Li Mansion is currently weak, it is still part of the royal family and may be used in the future.
"That's it... I wonder if my brother can introduce me to Xue Song, the master of Yibo Tower. I want to meet him."
Li Guan said expectantly.
"Oh? You want to meet that Xue Song? Is it Xue Song, the owner of Yibo Tower who is very popular these days?"
Wang Si paused.
"Well, I don't know, brother..."
Li Guan leaned forward.
He didn't tell the reason why he went to see Xue Song. After all, the temporary recruitment of experts was to save the Li family's face and it would be embarrassing to tell him.
"Alas...Brother, I may not be able to help you with this!"
Wang Si couldn't help but sigh, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.
