He did not look down upon Li Xianyuan in the slightest because of his age.ranw?enw?w?w?.

As soon as Li Xianyuan's thoughts changed, he knew the reason why he came all the way from Xinjing to Wuhou City.

Apart from wooing myself, what else can I do?

The man saw that Li Xianyuan understood and couldn't help but admire: "As expected of Mr. Li, he is extremely intelligent. I am here to win over Mr. Li on the order of the prince."

Li Xianyuan thought he would speak tactfully, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

Li Xianyuan didn't want to get involved in the prince's quest for the throne, so he said: "Scholars should put their studies first. As for matters above the court..."

The man in gray clothes spoke very fast and eloquently: "Master Li, celebrities like you and I don't speak secretly. The emperor is already old and will abdicate in a few years and make the crown prince the emperor. Nowadays, all officials with some power in Xinjing are

You cannot be alone. Your talent is amazing, and you have achieved such achievements at such an age. If my lord ascends the throne, at least he will be a bachelor. Even if he is the third prince in the dynasty, it is not impossible to be a prince. Your current status as Guannei Hou is also the prince in the dynasty.

I will fight hard to get it for you."

His words ranged from inducement to coercion. The prince had many capable people, such as this gray-clothed lobbyist. When others heard these words, they would definitely be frightened and grateful to join the prince's faction.

But Li Xianyuan is not someone else, and he is not easily persuaded.

What's more, Li Xianyuan didn't value power to begin with, and the Guan Nei Hou group was forced upon him by the Xinjing gang. Even if his identity as Guan Nei Hou was taken back at this time, he wouldn't have any regrets.

Li Xianyuan looked calm and held up his hands: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that I am in Wuhou County and have no intention of going to Xinjing."

Li Xianyuan didn't say it directly, but his words made it clear. He didn't want to get involved in the fight between the prince and the second prince.

Wang Meng handed over his hand and said: "The melon is not sweet if you force it. Since Mr. Li doesn't want it, I won't force it. However, the prince is thirsty for talents. If you are willing, I will treat you as an honored guest."

This kind of person is decisive in speaking and acting without being sloppy, and it is easy to win favor.

For Wang Meng, although he did not win over Li Xianyuan during this trip, he did get some information. At this time, Li Xianyuan could not be won over. Since he was not interested in the prince's lineage, naturally he would not be too concerned about the second prince.

As long as they are not enemies, everything is easy to talk about.

Wang Meng said again: "I have to rush to the capital to inform His Highness the Crown Prince, so I won't bother you here anymore and take my leave."

After that, he left in a hurry. From the time he came in and spoke to the time he left, it only took half a stick of incense.

Li Xianyuan walked to the window and pushed his legs towards the window. On the bustling street below, Wang Meng got into a carriage and drove away slowly.

Li Xianyuan followed the movement of the carriage with his eyes, thinking that once the prince sent a lobbyist, the second prince was not far away. He might even have arrived in Wuhou County, hiding in the dark to observe who Li Xianyuan was approaching.

…

"Sir, the man in the carriage just now looks familiar..." The carriage passed by, and a young man on the street turned around and looked at the carriage driving away.

The young man is dressed in a blue shirt and has a long sword on his back. His face has clear outlines and sharp sword eyebrows.

"Don't you look familiar? Wang Meng, the eloquent retainer of eldest brother's family."

A gentle and elegant young man on the side said with a smile. The young man was dressed in light green brocade clothes, with a gold silk bag on his waist, and he was holding a folding fan and shaking it gently. He had an extraordinary bearing.

"It's him! He must have the same purpose as ours!" The young man carrying the sword became more aggressive. "I just don't know if Li Xianyuan has been won over."

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." The gentle young man stopped him, shook his head and said: I'm lucky to have gained it, but lost my life. If I were to be won over by my elder brother, I wouldn't be able to force it."

The young man holding the sword listened to the former's words and was no longer impulsive. Hearing this, he said fiercely: "Then snatch him back!"

"So if you have nothing to do, read more." The gentle young man closed the folding fan and couldn't help but tap his forehead.

"What's the use of someone who spends his days wielding swords and guns? He can easily betray my elder brother, and he can easily betray me in the future. Let's wait and see what happens. I happen to be hungry. Let's go and eat something at the inn ahead."

"That... seems to be where Li Xianyuan lives. It's really strange that a sixth-grade marquis actually lives in an inn. With his status, many merchants and gentry are rushing to give him a house."

Mr. Wen Run chuckled: "So this person is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come in person."

The two opened the curtain and entered the inn. The noise and heat wave were even louder than outside. The aroma of wine, coriander and vegetables filled the air.

"Prince... Young Master, there's a lot of noise down there, let's go up to the second floor." The young man holding the sword said.

The waiter also came over at this time, and after hearing this, he led the two of them to the second floor.

The second floor was slightly quieter and there were a few empty tables. The two of them walked to an unoccupied table by the window and were about to sit down.

The waiter looked confused at this time: "Two guests, there...are already people here."

"Is there anyone here?" The young man holding the sword looked around curiously and said, "You little boy, are you playing tricks on us?"

The waiter hurriedly explained: "You two don't look like locals, let's be honest. There is a gentleman living in this inn. He comes down to eat at this time every day, and he always chooses this place. Whenever we come and go, we reserve this place in advance.

Come out, those regular diners also know about this."

The waiter's tone was a bit proud. Come to think of it, there were not many inns in the entire Dashang where sixth-grade officials stayed.

"Oh? It's interesting that the dignified merchant Guan Neihou actually lives in an inn." The gentle young man knew this and still asked.

"As for the seat... let's give it to 'Sir Sir Li'."

"Thank you, gentlemen." The waiter smiled happily. This gentle young man looked like he was no ordinary person, and he didn't want to offend him too much. He hurriedly led the two of them to an empty table not far from the previous seat.

The waiter took the towel off his shoulder and wiped the table, while the two sat on the bench opposite each other. The gentle young man had his back to the stairs.

The gentle young man turned his head and asked the waiter: "I am somewhat interested in this 'Master Li'. I wonder if the waiter can tell me more?"

His attitude was polite, and the waiter hurriedly said: "Sir, you are very polite. It doesn't hurt to talk. Many diners are here specifically to inquire about Lord Li."

The waiter put the towel on his shoulders, thought for a while and said: "This Lord Li... has a very cold personality, but he is cold on the outside and warm on the inside. He treats others very well. He is polite and reasonable to everyone like me. He is almost the same as you, guest sir."

As for you asking me why Lord Li lives in an inn...hey, I'm just a stranger, how could I know about this?"

Feeling that he had said a bit too much, the waiter laughed a few times and stopped, then asked: "Sir, what would you like to order?"

The gentle young man first looked at the young man holding the sword, and the latter hurriedly said: "I'm free."

He nodded, unfolded his folding fan, and said to the waiter who was waiting on his side: "First a pot of tea, and then some side dishes."

"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and hurried to the stairs.

The gentle young man was about to say something, when he heard the waiter shouting in surprise from behind him: "Hey Sir Li, you are down, want something to eat."
