Chapter 81 The Cui Family’s Olive Branch
Chang'an Avenue
Li Xiang kept thinking about this question on the way, so what if he is the emperor's son? If you don't have enough strength, others won't take you seriously, and may even pose a threat to your safety.
Therefore, Li Xiang had to quickly expand his strength. In addition to providing these people in the system, he also had to start layout in the court and business.
According to Li Xiang's original idea, if he faced the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, he would fight them directly without any retreat. However, judging from the current situation, he did not know their methods yet, so it was time to give in. You can also give in a little bit, but the ultimate goal is clear, that is, you must kill them.
The people with the fifth surname and Qi Wang also think so. Li Xiang is now stronger. If they come in the open, it will not be good for them. Both sides are pretending to be arrogant. Let’s see who can have the last laugh. It depends on what he has in hand. Really capable.
"Greetings to Your Highness."
Cui Yunzhu greeted him cheerfully at the door. Although the two of them had already quarreled in the court before, a hypocritical face is a must for the children of aristocratic families. If you don't even have this, then don't Hanging out in Chang'an.
"Brother Cui, please get up quickly. I came to the house today to disturb you. A small courtesy is not disrespectful."
Li Xiang has also changed from his usual coldness. The smile on his face makes people wonder if it is real. The servants around him are a bit inappropriate. I always feel that these two masters have been hit on the head and are still in a coma. , but seeing that the two masters were cheerful, they had to force themselves to smile.
People passing by also saw this scene, and they were a little puzzled. Didn't they already hear that His Highness the Emperor Changsun was confronting people from the Cui family? Everyone's restaurants are closed down. What's going on today? Are all the previous rumors false?
The previous rumors were certainly not false. When Cui Yunzhu was speaking, Li Xiang saw that this guy was gritting his teeth. It was impossible for Cui Yunzhu to forget the humiliation in front of the hall that day, but for the sake of the stable development of the family in the future, he did what he did The son has to be thrown away first. When Li Xiang goes downhill, he can't tell who will deal with whom.
As for Li Xiang, Li Xiang didn't want to confront the Cui family before he was completely prepared. Today he also wanted to see what the third master Cui was thinking. If he could meet his own psychological standards, If so, it’s okay for everyone to stop temporarily. There is no need to have enemies everywhere.
Of course, Li Xiang also classified the enemies in his heart. Rich clans like the Cui family are definitely the most fundamental enemies. In other words, these people are also the most difficult to deal with. No matter how the two parties cooperate, they must be kept at all times. a heart.
Secondly, there are Li Tai, enemies within the Li family, who can also cause huge harm to themselves.
As for foreigners like Zaterk, Li Xiang placed them at the lowest level. These people can also be regarded as monsters who gain experience by themselves. As long as the time is right, Li Xiang will definitely lead troops to conquer them. With the troops he exchanged in the system, these people can never be his opponents, and they will also become a stepping stone for him to rise.
"His Royal Highness Changsun is a talented person, and he is truly the best among the people in our dynasty."
Inside the gate of Lao Cui's house, Third Master Cui finally appeared outside the inner gate.
"The Third Master has a bright face, is strategizing, and has great ambitions. He is an example for me and other juniors to learn from."
Business exchanges immediately hit each other. This is also a normal procedure. Since we are here to cooperate today, it must be done in a friendly atmosphere. If there is tension at the beginning, then some things may not be easy to continue. Talked.
"We'll invite you inside, the food and wine are ready."
Cui Yuncheng was weak and his voice was much softer than before. Of course, this was also given by Li Xiang. When Li Xiang saw this person, he raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Such a person can talk to you with a smile. Think about what a terrible person he is, with a scheming as deep as the sea.
Since his rebirth, Li Xiang has been to two families for dinner, one is his uncle's family, the eldest Sun Wuji's family, and the other is the Cui family, the most wealthy family in the world, which can be regarded as giving them enough face.
During the first three glasses of wine, everyone talked about the romance and Chang'an City, and did not really get into the talks.
When the fourth glass of wine was about to be picked up, Cui Yunzhu had already caught Cui Sanye's eyes and started to lead the conversation to the liquor.
"Third Master, do you want my liquor?"
Li Xiang is too lazy to talk in circles with these people. The main reason is that he knows what these people have done. My father's leg is related to them. We are not willing to continue to deal with them. We have finished our work and gone back early. After all, no one has the share. Love is involved, and as time goes by, both parties become embarrassed.
"His Highness is joking. Who doesn't know that His Highness's Datang Tianniang is the top-grade liquor? As far as I know, there is probably no liquor that can match it in the entire Datang. My Cui family has always been in this industry, so I still think about this." Pretty obvious."
If this liquor is not Li Xiang’s, then it should also be this liquor at today’s banquet. It’s just that the Cui family invited Li Xiang to a banquet. If he drank Li Xiang’s wine, he would feel a little embarrassed, but after entering Chang’an City, Whenever a person of some status entertains distinguished guests, if there is no Tang Tianyang, then this will be a bit out of place.
"Third Master, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Li Xiang put down his chopsticks, and everyone else also put down their chopsticks. This made Mr. Cui a little unhappy. You are obviously just a junior, but you are so irrational, but Li Xiang has this liquor in his hands. If they mess with it, If not, if Li Xiang can take over the entire Tang Dynasty, the Cui family's income from liquor will be even lower.
"My visit to the family this time has given me an order. No matter what His Highness does in the Tang Dynasty in the future, our Cui family will definitely support it."
Third Master Cui is an old fox. He didn't say what the Cui family wanted, but gave them their bargaining chips first.
"I would like to thank Master Cui in advance."
Li Xiang stood up and thanked them. This was considered as giving them enough face. This was as expected by Li Chengqian. The Cui family really wanted to cooperate. The purpose of doing this was also to tell Li Xiang that the incident of your assassination outside the city was related to We have nothing to do with it.
"The second is that we want to cooperate with His Highness to sell wine together. His Highness has Datang Tianniang in his hands, and we have wine shops and taverns across the country. If we cooperate, it will definitely usher in a new era."
Third Master Cui picked up the wine pot, which shocked the younger Cui family members. Do you want to pour wine for Li Xiang?
