Chapter 196: Pei Nanwei Performs a Dance! Wang Linquan Recommends Her to Serve! (33)

By Spring God Lake.

Li Chang'an activated Thunder God Swiftness and appeared behind Wu Liuding.

He suddenly threw a punch, striking Wu Liuding in the back!

Vajra Unbinding!

Wu Liuding felt his True Qi instantly pierced through, and his muscles were shattered!

"Ah!"

He lost all sensation in his body and fell onto the shallow beach.

Immediately after, there was a "rumble"!

The Spring God Lake suddenly surged with a hundred-zhang-high wave, and the fishermen on the lake scrambled to row away!

"There's a water monster!"

"Run, a typhoon is coming!"

In an instant, the water curtain towered, startling everyone within a hundred miles!

Countless fish and shrimp from the lake fell from the sky!

The entire lakeside looked as if it had just experienced a heavy downpour!

Cui Hua was anxious and immediately went to check on Wu Liuding's condition.

All the lake water fell to the ground, drenching both of them.

Wu Liuding opened his eyes, circulated his True Qi, and felt much calmer.

Without a word, he knelt on one knee before Li Chang'an, "Your Highness's Divine Might! Thank you, Your Highness, for showing mercy!"

"If not for your final strike diverting the True Qi into the lake, I would have been shattered to pieces and died!"

"Today, Liuding finally knows that there is always someone better!"

The Vajra Unbinding, enhanced by Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, was incredibly overbearing, capable of breaking even a Vajra body!

Although Wu Liuding and his master liked to boast, their character was not bad.

Li Chang'an said, "You at least know what's good for you. Then proceed as agreed."

Wu Liuding said with conviction, "Your subordinate Wu Liuding will keep his word!"

Cui Hua also imitated Wu Liuding, saying, "Your Highness is very powerful. Cui Hua misjudged you."

Li Chang'an was confident that if these two could follow him for three years, they could follow him indefinitely.

With the dust settled, Li Chang'an gained two more Zhi Xuan Realm subordinates.

Li Chang'an instructed the two to prepare, and they would set off westward together in a few days.

In Xiangfan City.

Zhao Heng declared his ownership over Pei Nanwei, which made Zhao Xun jealous and resentful.

He rode out of the city, hearing only discussions about Li Chang'an.

"The imperial court actually betrothed Xu Zhihu to Li Chang'an!"

"This means Xu Xiao's two daughters are marrying one husband!"

"Xu Xiao actually said his daughter went missing!"

"This is a slap in the Face to the imperial court and Li Chang'an!"

"This reason is too flimsy! Would Xu the Butcher's daughter disappear without cause?"

Zhao Xun left the city, but still, inexplicably, came to Tianmu Mountain.

This was the territory of Wang Linquan, the richest man in Qingcheng.

This man was extremely wealthy; it was said he had millions of taels of silver at home!

Wang Linquan was from Western Shu and had been doing business in Qingzhou for many years.

Pei Nanwei was also from Western Shu, usually earning a living by teaching dance and music.

As they were from the same hometown, they supported each other.

Pei Nanwei had always lived in a villa on Tianmu Mountain.

Zhao Xun crossed Spring God Lake and arrived at the entrance of Pei Nanwei's villa.

A young maid relayed Pei Nanwei's message from the villa entrance.

"Your Highness, Young Miss has a message for you."

"For the sake of propriety, it's best if we don't meet again in the future."

Zhao Xun looked at the Qingzhou Navy soldiers guarding the villa, feeling even more frustrated and angry!

These navy soldiers only listened to Prince Jing'an Zhao Heng!

The thought of Pei Nanwei's graceful figure and charming demeanor filled Zhao Xun with burning jealousy.

However, the one who was snatching his beloved was his own father!

Zhao Xun at one point felt that he had encountered the most frustrating thing in the world!

He could only suppress his anger and left Tianmu Mountain resentfully.

After he left, the young maid immediately went to report to Pei Nanwei.

Inside the room, Pei Nanwei didn't even ask an extra question.

"Fortunately, he left, otherwise it would be inconvenient for me to go out."

"Tonight, Master Wang invited me to perform a dance for an important guest."

"Lan'er, hurry and get ready. Let's prepare to leave."

Everyone in Qingzhou knew that Pei Nanwei was about to become Prince Jing'an's concubine.

At this time, for Pei Nanwei to still perform a dance for someone else, the young maid found it inappropriate.

The maid said, "Young Miss, we were able to settle in Qingzhou thanks to Master Wang's protection."

"However, just how important is this guest that Young Miss needs to perform a dance for him?"

Pei Nanwei smiled softly, "Lan'er, you don't understand."

"This guest is very important. I must go."

"Even if he wants my life, I would be willing."

Soon after, Pei Nanwei took a carriage to the nearby Wang family estate.

On the lake shore opposite the Wang family, Li Chang'an had just arrived at the ferry.

At this moment, an old man in luxurious clothes rushed over in a panic.

The old man, accompanied by several servants, knelt before Li Chang'an without a word.

"Your humble servant Wang Linquan greets His Highness, the King of Tang!"

Li Chang'an was not surprised by Wang Linquan's appearance.

Name: Wang Linquan

Age: 50 years old

Realm: Martial Artist Third Grade · Peak

Talents: Commander (Fourth Grade), Socializing (Third Grade)

Abilities: Commander (Third Grade), Socializing (Third Grade)

Affection: -100 (Deadly Enemy)

Wang Linquan's apparent identity was a wealthy merchant from Western Shu, the richest man in Qingzhou.

In recent years, he had been currying favor with Zhao Heng and his son, hoping to take control of Qingzhou's financial power.

This fellow was famously benevolent and had a wide circle of friends.

He would personally make acquaintance with any dignitaries passing through Qingzhou.

For distinguished guests, he would even invite them to his residence on Tianmu Mountain for a warm and thoughtful reception.

However, in reality, this person was Xu Xiao's hidden agent.

Just like Zhao Yutai and Wang Ying, Wang Linquan only communicated with the high-ranking officials of the Northern Liang Royal Mansion.

Moreover, this person was a staunch and loyal supporter of Xu Xiao!

Old Wang being so diligent couldn't be for anything good.

Li Chang'an said calmly, "So it's Master Wang of Tianmu Mountain. I've long heard of you!"

Wang Linquan looked up, his Face filled with a sincere smile.

"Your Highness, you must be tired from your journey. Why not come to my humble abode on Tianmu Mountain for a good rest!"

"Sha Province is far away. Enjoying the beautiful scenery of Spring God Lake before setting off won't delay you!"

The "humble abode" Wang Linquan spoke of was the opulent mansion of Qingzhou's richest man.

It was known as the premier pleasure destination in Qingzhou, hailed as a heaven on earth!

Music, dance, beautiful courtesans, and exquisite food were all available.

Li Chang'an helped old Wang up and readily accepted his invitation.

He wanted to see what tricks Wang Linquan would pull.

The luxurious Wang family estate on Tianmu Mountain was indeed magnificent!

The banquet was extremely lavish, with cups clinking and a lively atmosphere.

Halfway through the wine, Wang Linquan suddenly suggested enjoying music and dance.

"Your Highness, I heard that you enjoy appreciating music and dance."

"I have a fellow countrywoman, a dancer of breathtaking beauty, skilled in dance, truly a marvel in Qingzhou!"

Li Chang'an, who was well-versed in such matters, naturally knew what Wang Linquan was going to say.

"Then why not invite her up? Are you implying that this King's Face isn't grand enough?"

Wang Linquan said, "Your Highness is joking!"

"Your Highness's arrival graces my humble abode!"

He turned and clapped his hands, and a group of beautiful dancers entered in a line.

The zither music was melodious, the flute sounds ethereal, and the dance movements were graceful and vibrant.

Li Chang'an shook his head, thinking, this is what they call peerless beauty!

Qingniao frowned; these dancers were not good enough, far inferior to Hong Shu, the enchantress!

Just then, a woman in a light yellow gauze dress slowly entered the hall.

Her jade arms were soft as if boneless, tender as spring onions, and as white as snow!

Her figure was graceful, alluring yet refined, like a Fairy descending to the mortal world!

Wang Linquan observed Li Chang'an's reaction, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Chang'an stared at that exquisite Face, falling into contemplation.

What could be the reason for such a high affection value?

Name: Pei Nanwei

Age: 20 years old

Realm: None

Talents: Poetic Composition (Second Grade), Singing and Dancing (First Grade)

Abilities: Poetic Composition (Third Grade), Singing and Dancing (Second Grade)

Affection: 80

That damned Wang Linquan, having the future Prince Jing'an's concubine dance, clearly wanted to stir up trouble between the King of Tang and Prince Jing'an.

Li Yishan's scheme involving Qingniao failed, and now the next move had arrived.

Wang Linquan wanted to emulate Wang Yun; this was presenting Diao Chan!

Tonight, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just appreciating a dance.

Would there even be the act of serving the bed, given Wang Linquan's knack for recommending women to serve?

If that were the case, should this King refuse?

Pei Nanwei's soft, slender waist swayed gently, her demeanor graceful and charming.

Compared to her, the other dancers instantly faded in brilliance.

Even Qingniao had to admit that Pei Nanwei's tenderness and beauty were on par with Hong Shu's.

Pei Nanwei's delicate Face had a faint blush, making her appear even more alluring.

Her captivating autumn eyes occasionally stole a glance at Li Chang'an.

At this moment, Pei Nanwei herself was somewhat swayed.

She had never seen such a handsome and dashing man.

Especially that dignified and elegant demeanor; how could the impetuous and flighty Zhao Xun compare?

Moreover, her approach to Prince Jing'an and his son originally had her own purpose.

Seeing Li Chang'an and Pei Nanwei exchanging glances, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Linquan's eyes.

This Li Chang'an had successively killed two major hidden agents of Northern Liang, costing the Royal Mansion several First Grade experts.

Now, a letter had arrived from Qingliang Mountain, instructing that the King of Tang must not reach the Northwest!

As long as Wang Linquan didn't expose his identity, Li Chang'an would never suspect that Northern Liang was behind it.

Wang Linquan put on his usual honest smile again, "Your Highness, how is Lan'er?"

Wang Linquan didn't use Pei Nanwei's real name, clearly intending to dig a big pit for Li Chang'an.

Li Chang'an said concisely, "Beyond words!"

Wang Linquan leaned closer to Li Chang'an, his voice much lower.

"Your Highness, how about having this woman serve you tonight?"

Li Chang'an looked at Wang Linquan's earnest old Face, secretly praising him endlessly!

Wang Linquan, you are indeed still that Wang Linquan!

Seeing Li Chang'an remain silent, Wang Linquan continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Only a peerless beauty like this can be worthy of a young hero like Your Highness!"

Li Chang'an chuckled and replied loudly, "Your kind offer is hard to refuse. This King accepts her."

If he didn't act first, Miss Pei would become Princess Pei.

Wang Linquan, being a hidden agent of Northern Liang, was doing this to stir up conflict between Li Chang'an and Zhao Heng.

However, Wang Linquan's calculations were absolutely wrong.

He both overestimated Zhao Heng and underestimated Li Chang'an.

Prince Jing'an Zhao Heng's greatest characteristic was cowardice.

So cowardly that he could only bully those within his own household, his son, and his wife.

So cowardly that he suppressed himself into a manic-depressive state, repressed and irritable.

He feared the emperor's suspicion and also feared Northern Liang's retaliation.

If Li Chang'an slept with Pei Nanwei, expecting Zhao Heng to mobilize troops for a conflict was impossible.

Because Zhao Heng didn't care about Pei Nanwei at all; the one who might mobilize troops for a conflict was that heir, Zhao Xun.

However, that person was cunning but lacked ability, and moreover, currently held no military power.

Li Chang'an's current strength and Realm had surged, and he also had Celestial Phenomenon Realm Gu Dazu protecting him.

He also had Talisman General Red Armor, Wu Liuding and his master, and several other First Grade subordinates.

Let alone within Qingzhou, it would not be easy for Northern Liang to find someone to kill Li Chang'an.

Seeing Li Chang'an agree so easily, Wang Linquan inevitably felt a sense of disdain.

It seemed this King of Tang was still young.

He said with a fawning smile, "Your Highness, rest assured, Lan'er will be waiting in Your Highness's room tonight."

However, Li Chang'an's next sentence instantly froze Wang Linquan's smile!

"I hear your esteemed daughter is also talented and beautiful. How about she joins us..."

Wang Linquan plopped onto the ground, waving his hands continuously.

"Your Highness is joking! My little girl is not yet of age!"

Fortunately, Li Chang'an was only trying to scare him and didn't take it seriously.

As night fell.

A melodious zither melody drifted in, like a heavenly sound, mournful and plaintive.

Li Chang'an stood at the door of his room, listening to Pei Nanwei playing the zither inside.

Gu Dazu was hidden far away in a corner, with only Qingniao waiting at the door.

"Your Highness, the room has been checked."

"I have also investigated that woman, your subordinate."

Qingniao always maintained a business-like demeanor in front of outsiders.

Li Chang'an whispered, "Good Qingniao, you're not jealous, are you?"

Qingniao's Face flushed slightly, her clear eyes filled with resentment, "Your Highness is joking. If I were jealous, I'd probably die of sourness later."

Li Chang'an said, "Let Old Gu stay here."

"You go arrange for the Brocade-Clad Guards to thoroughly investigate Wang Linquan and inquire about news from Xiangfan City."

Pei Nanwei, an immigrant from Western Shu, approached Prince Jing'an and his son with ulterior motives.

This woman's background should be connected to Western Shu's restoration organization.

Li Chang'an needed to extract these matters from Pei Nanwei.

To maximize the benefits of the Qingzhou trip, these matters needed to be clarified.

Li Chang'an and Northern Liang were sworn enemies, and Wang Linquan clearly harbored ill intentions.

He never showed mercy to those who dared to scheme against him.

The fate of Wang Linquan was exemplified by Zhao Yutai and Wang Ying.

Moreover, this fellow was so wealthy!

Qingniao acknowledged the order and left, and Li Chang'an unceremoniously entered the room.

A graceful figure rose from behind the guqin.

Her features were picturesque, her delicate Face like a flower, and her smile enchanting.

The exquisitely beautiful Pei Nanwei curtsied properly.

"Your humble servant Pei Nanwei will serve Your Highness tonight."

Pei Nanwei's pretty Face was flushed, her smile alluring and captivating.

Li Chang'an sat down at the round table, "So Miss Lan'er is actually Qingzhou's most beautiful woman, Pei Nanwei."

Pei Nanwei gracefully walked closer, bringing with her a faint, intoxicating fragrance.

She poured a cup of wine for Li Chang'an and brought it to his lips.

Li Chang'an held the wine cup with one hand and, with the other, smoothly pulled Pei Nanwei into his embrace.

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Nanwei's eyes, and her body visibly trembled.

Li Chang'an indeed had great audacity, pulling the future Prince Jing'an's concubine into his arms like that.

Soon, Pei Nanwei put on her intoxicating smile again.

"Your Highness is truly a young hero. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Li Chang'an slowly tilted the wine in the cup, and the clear wine trickled down Pei Nanwei's fair collarbone.

A strange tingling sensation spread throughout Pei Nanwei's body.

Li Chang'an said, "Since you, Young Miss, don't flinch or avoid, and aren't afraid of the wine getting on you, why should this King be afraid of getting into trouble?"

A hint of shyness flashed in Pei Nanwei's eyes, then she parted her red lips, and the clear wine flowed down her throat.

After drinking the wine, Pei Nanwei's slender arms directly wrapped around Li Chang'an's neck.

With the beauty in his arms, faint fragrances wafted, and her breathing was audible.

Her breathtaking curves were already pressing against Li Chang'an's chest.

Pei Nanwei looked down at herself; a large area of her delicate body was wet with wine.

The beauty's smile was still intoxicating, and her red lips softly whispered.

"So, Your Highness enjoys drinking like this..."
