Liu Quan's wife pointed to the inner room, "Someone is waiting for you at home!"

"who?"

"It seems to be said to be the Prince of Qiantang!"

‘King of Qiantang?’

Liu Quan suddenly realized that it was Li Xiu?

"You said I won't go home today!"

He turned around and wanted to leave, but his wife grabbed him, "Husband cannot leave, Ying'er is still in their hands!"

"What!"

Liu Quan widened his eyes, "What's going on?"

"They are waiting for their husbands in the study, and Ying'er is also in the study and has never come out."

Liu Quan was stunned. After a while, he smiled bitterly. Li Xiu was so powerful that pinching his son was equivalent to pinching his vital points.

He had to sigh, "Where is he?"

"He's in the study!"

Liu Quan nodded, "I'll go see him, you can serve them tea."

Liu Quan sorted out his clothes and walked towards the study with his teeth. He knew very well why Li Xiu came to find him. Li Mao had been dealing with Li Xiu, but Li Xiu never responded. Now Li Xiu is going to fight back.

First of all, Liu Quan had to admire Li Xiu's wrist. No wonder even the Regent was cleaned up. He was too precise to start. If he didn't move, he would be the key.

When he walked into the study, he saw a young man wearing a gauze hat sitting at the desk, smiling as his son writing. Liu Quan recognized the young man at first sight, which was Li Xiu, the prince of Qiantang County.

There were also several tall warriors standing next to them.

Liu Quan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Little Min Liu Quan, please see His Highness the Prince!"

Li Xiu smiled and said to the boy next to him: "Your father is back, you go back to your room to practice calligraphy!"

The boy glanced at his father timidly, and Liu Quan nodded to him. The boy quickly packed his pen and went out.

Li Xiu looked at his back and smiled and said, "The word "王子" is well written!"

"He started practicing calligraphy since he was five years old, and fortunately he was given guidance from a famous teacher in his hometown." Liu Quan was still very confident in his son's study.

"I heard that Mr. Liu has always wanted to send his son to the Imperial College?"

Liu Quan suddenly felt a chill on his back. He only mentioned this matter three times to Li Mao, but no one else knew it, and even his wife didn't know it. How could Li Xiu know it?

"How did your Highness know?"

"Don't worry about this. As long as I pay attention to Li Mao, I will naturally know everything about him. In fact, I am too lazy to pay attention to such a fool. If he hadn't been ungrateful and had to go against me, I might let him go."

Li Xiu’s implication is that he doesn’t plan to let Li Mao go.

Liu Quan's heart sank, why did Li Xiu tell herself?

"I am the staff member of Li Mao. Isn't your highness afraid that I will tell Li Mao?"

Li Xiu smiled and shook his head, "It's okay to tell him. He knows I won't let him go, but I think the gentleman should value his son more and will not sacrifice his son for Li Mao."

"Your Highness is threatening me?"

Li Xiu smiled faintly, "It is normal for me to threaten people. I have even threatened the Regent, but I always turn the threat into reality. Since Mr. Liu valued his son so much, he should not wade into this muddy water."

As soon as his son's safety was involved, Liu Quan also took the initiative. He said coldly: "Your Highness will tell you clearly! What exactly should you do?"

Li Xiu looked at him and said, "Since you have done something in Yuanshi's mansion, you should know Miao Changchun!"

"I know him, Yuan Biao's aide, and he is missing, so it should be a disaster!"

"You are wrong. He is not lucky. He is now renamed He Chunlai and is appointed by me as the county magistrate of Gaochang County. The Ministry of Personnel has officially approved it two days ago."

Li Xiu continued: "He went to Beiting to assassinate me under the order of Yuan Biao, but I was caught by me in Gaochang. Then he abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and changed to loyalty to me, and made many achievements. I officially appointed him as the county magistrate of Gaochang. Of course, the Ministry of Personnel will give me this face, after all, I am the governor of Beiting."

"Why did Your Highness tell me this?"

"I just give you a choice. If you continue to be loyal to Li Mao to deal with me, I will definitely eradicate you. Together with your son, I will not keep my enemies and will always eradicate them.

But if you turn to secretly be loyal to me, I will appoint you as the county magistrate of Jiaohe County to ensure that the Ministry of Personnel passes the establishment. Of course, you need to change your name in the end. I will give you a resume with the surname New, and Liu Quan will no longer exist."

When Liu Quan heard that he could be appointed as the county magistrate, he couldn't help but be moved.

Li Xiu smiled faintly again, "You think about it! You can also reply to me tomorrow, I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, he put a fifty taels of silver on the table, then turned around and left with a few subordinates, walked to the yard, and happened to meet Liu Quan's wife bringing tea.

Li Xiu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law still wants to persuade Mr. Liu that there will not be too many opportunities in life, only once or twice, it depends on whether you can seize it and change your destiny."

When Li Xiu walked to the door, Liu Quan walked out of the study quickly, "Your Highness stay!"

"Sir, did you figure it out?" Li Xiu turned around and asked.

His few words to Liu Quan just now woke Liu Quan up suddenly. There are really too many opportunities in life, only once or twice. Today, his chance came, how could he not seize it?

"Tonight, Li Mao will host Li Cui at Tianranju Restaurant, and the two may have to form an alliance."

…………

Li Xiu left, Liu Quan's wife walked into the room and asked worriedly: "Honey, do you really want to betray Li Mao?"

"I've only been with him for a few months, so why don't you talk about the word "betrayal"?"

"But………"

"No, but!"

Liu Quan waved his hand impatiently, "He has stared at our son. If I don't agree, what will my son do?"

"If my husband is worried about this, I can take my son back to my hometown!"

Liu Quan glanced at his wife and said lightly: "My son is only one aspect. The key is that he promised me to be the county magistrate of He County. I thought Miao Changchun was dead. It turned out that he was the county magistrate in Gaochang County. This Li Xiu is not simple! He is kind and powerful, and those who obey others are treated well, and those who go against others are severely punished. In comparison, Li Mao cannot even solve the problem of my child studying in the Imperial Academy. How can it be disheartening?"

Mrs. Liu knew that her husband's biggest dream in his life was to become an official. When he was thirty-eight years old, he suddenly saw hope, and of course he would seize this opportunity.

"I understand my husband's dream, and I also support my husband's resolution. I am just worried what if Li Xiu can't beat Li Mao?"

Liu Quan sneered, "It's not that I belittle Li Mao, he is like a child compared to Li Xiu. His thoughts are about taking away Li Xiu's woman, but who is Li Xiu? Even the Regent was ruined by him. Will Li Mao be his opponent? From me, Li Xiu's attacks show that his methods are much more intelligent than Li Mao."

"But Li Mao's mother is Concubine Wu Hui!"

"You are wrong. Ten years ago, they were the son who was honored by their mother. Now, the other way around, the mother who was honored by their son. Concubine Wu Hui had to rely on her son to support her status in the palace, but Li Mao could not support her. This is why Wu Xianyi turned over so quickly."

Liu's wife sighed, "I don't understand what you said. I only know that the capital is unsafe. My children and I should go back to our hometown first!"

Liu Quan nodded, "I'll arrange it to pack up tonight. You will go back tomorrow and take your mother back to your hometown together."

Liu Quan suddenly understood that Li Xiu put a fifty taels of silver on the table, probably just asking him to arrange his wife, children and mother to go home, and he even found out that his income was meager.

………….

Tianranju Restaurant is also located in Pingkangfang, ranking third among the top ten restaurants in Chang'an.

Li Mao set up a luxurious banquet in the Peony Hall on the third floor to entertain Li Cui.

Under the hall, several pipa girls sang softly, and a dancer was dancing gracefully. Two samurai stood outside the door, and four samurai stood on both sides of the lobby.

Li Mao and Li Cui sat on the high couch in the hall. They were each accompanied by a beautiful maid who not only threw herself into her arms, but also poured wine and vegetables for them.

"I heard that my brother suffered a great loss today?" Li Mao asked tentatively.

Li Cui glanced at him and said lightly: "You invited me to come today for that bastard Li Xiu!"

Li Mao patted the wine glass hard, "That's right! That bastard almost ruined me. If it weren't for him, I would have been the prince of the Eastern Palace today. This revenge is irreconcilable, I must avenge it!"

"In addition to revenge, I'm afraid there is also a revenge to take over your wife!"

Li Mao knew that Li Cui also fell in love with Yang Yuhuan. He didn't want to compete with Li Cui now. Li Mao smiled, "A beautiful lady is a gentleman. Who doesn't like beautiful women? But that woman is already a tragic flower and willow, so I don't want to give it to me. If your brother likes it, just take it!"

Li Cui excitedly drank the wine in the glass, "I don't dislike her if she is a young girl. A woman who is a woman is even more delicious. If her brother is willing to give it to me, I will try my best to help her enter the East Palace."

"Brother, what's the point of giving in to me? The key is Li Xiu! If you don't get rid of him, don't think about it, no matter whether it's my position in the East Palace or your woman."

"It's right, Li Xiu is our common enemy, and everything else can be put aside first. Our top priority is to join forces to kill him!"
