Only now did he think clearly about what Li Yunxiao had said to him. Is joining the imperial court really what he wanted, or was it just an obsession?
As a poet and a knight, he would be deprived of his soul just because he entered the court. He didn't want to!
If so, wouldn't he have nothing except a wealthy life?
Li Longji was not angry, but smiled lightly and patted Li Bai on the shoulder: "Have you figured it out? How many people in the world want to get close to me, but you want to give up this opportunity?"
"Yes! The common people beg your majesty to make it happen!" Li Bai nodded resolutely.
Li Longji shouted: "Okay! Someone is here!"
Gao Lishi, who had been silent all along, came over.
"Go and get a thousand pieces of gold and give it to him as a reward."
Speaking of this, Li Longji said with some melancholy: "You are still a free man now, hahahahaha..."
Du Fu looked at Gao Shi from the side, the exclamation in his eyes was indescribable.
Getting the opportunity and then letting go made the two of them feel for him to a higher level.
After thanking him profusely, Li Bai stood up and left the table, sitting with Du Fu and Gao Shi.
The three of them chatted for a few words and then decided to continue traveling together.
After this incident, Li Longji looked at the absent-minded Yang Yuhuan, and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, so he got up and walked over.
"Father."
"Father..."
There was nothing wrong with the two people's names, but Li Longji was stunned, feeling uncomfortable beyond words.
Slowly taking out a piece of music from his chest, Li Longji handed it to Yang Yuhuan.
"I know you like singing and dancing. This is the song I composed for you. I give it to you."
"And this." Li Longji took out a book and handed it to Li Hao.
"The Book of Filial Piety?" Li Hao was startled, what does this mean?
Let him practice filial piety?
How can he be considered filial? Give you your wife?
Yang Yuhuan reached out to take Nishang Yuyiqu, but did not dare to look at Li Longji.
After Li Hao thanked him, he just put it on the table casually without looking at it.
Li Longji suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Today was such a festive day that he was dying and scared.
"Come here, just dancing is not interesting. How about enjoying the martial arts competition?"
Many people clapped their hands and applauded, but Gao Lishi suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty, the first floor is where the competition takes place."
"It's okay." Li Longji looked at Li Yunxiao and asked, "Master Emperor, you agree to compete here for entertainment, how about it?"
Li Yunxiao nodded: "Of course, you can do whatever you want. Don't let it all change just because we are here. Wouldn't that be boring?"
"good!"
"Come here, go and bring up those Kunlun slaves sent from the Western Regions."
The Kunlun slave had dark skin and was famous for being strong at work. Because of his special appearance, he was sent to the Tang Dynasty as an offering.
"This Kunlun slave is born with a lot of strength, and these people are all martial arts practitioners. Who wants to try it?"
Someone next to me persuaded: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen suggests that it is better to let the Kunlun slaves come in and choose their opponents. This way, we are not bullying others."
Li Longji thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right. You guys, a small number of them are not easy, so let them choose!"
After the words fell, Li Longji naturally sat down at Li Hao's table.
Li Hao sighed deeply, and Yang Yuhuan both lowered their heads slightly, each with their own thoughts.
Soon, several tall Kunlun slaves were brought up.
"Come, have fun today. You all choose an opponent and show off your skills. If you are good at fighting, I can give you a reward!"
There were three Kunlun slaves in total, and the first one came out in the lead.
He circled around and saw many people's eyes drifting to a table, so he raised his feet and walked over.
Looking at the direction he was going, many people snickered.
"Your Majesty, let me compete with him."
Li Yunxiao watched this tall and thick guy pointing at himself, and he also raised his finger and pointed at himself: "Me?"
"That's right, it's you, don't be afraid, I will let you."
"Pfft hahahaha..."
As Jiang Chen couldn't help laughing, everyone also laughed.
Don't blame this guy for choosing Li Yunxiao. Among so many people, there are quite a few with beards, and Li Yunxiao has a handsome face. From a distance, he looks like someone who is easy to bully.
What's more, there are still people in the court who have never seen Li Yunxiao in person, let alone their Kunlun slaves.
Li Yunxiao pointed to his side: "I think it would be better if you hit him."
Yuan Tiangang was startled, and couldn't help but think in his heart, if you are too lazy to pay attention, don't push it on me. What fun does he have in being a big star in the divine sky?
Kunlun slave looked puzzled: "I want to fight you, why should I choose him?"
"It's simple. He is my brother. You can hit my brother, but you can't hit me!"
"You are really good at it." Jiang Chen praised from behind.
Li Longji said at this time: "Okay, you can choose another one. You can't beat him."
Kunlun slave said without fear: "I can beat him! Your Majesty, please believe me!"
Li Longji glanced at Li Yunxiao: "Emperor Master, do you want to take it?"
"Emperor Master?"
Kunlun slave didn't know who Li Yunxiao was, but the emperor's master was thunderous. When he looked at the young man in front of him, his legs suddenly went weak!
Plop!
He just knelt on the ground, his previous unruly look replaced by fright.
"Okay, okay, you can change it." Li Longji urged.
Jiangchen whispered behind Li Yunxiao: "You don't want to teach me a lesson? This guy was looking down on you just now."
"Heh." Li Yunxiao sneered: "It's normal for people who have never really been in contact with me to look down on me. Besides, when have you ever seen adults and children treat each other like children?"
Jiang Chen snorted: "You are no less experienced than me."
Kunlun slave took a few deep breaths, stood up, and glanced at Li Yunxiao's side.
Before Yuan Tiangang could raise his head, he quickly turned around and pointed randomly: "If I beat him, it's him! He won't change!"
"Uh this...hahahaha..."
This action really made everyone laugh again, knowing that this guy must have guessed that the person next to Li Yunxiao was Yuan Tiangang.
The person pointed at by Kunlun Slave was also stunned.
"It's interesting, then I'll help you guys enjoy it. I, Li Bai, will take it!"
Uh-huh!
Li Bai turned over and jumped down, landing steadily in front of Kunlun Slave.
"My name is Li Bai!"
"I don't have a name."
"No name? Okay, what do you want to compete with? Is it weapons, or fists and feet?"
Li Longji suddenly said at this time: "Li Bai, be careful, these guys have the strength of big stars."
Li Bai cupped his hand and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Cao Min is a traveling poet, he has never given up his heart as a knight. Now he is in the middle of heaven!"
"Uh..." This made many people stunned.
"I didn't expect this guy to have such a talent. It's really interesting."
"Yes, but it's not surprising. In fact, I have long heard that his master is Pei Min. He is a master of swordsmanship in the Tang Dynasty and holds a great position in the heaven!"
"So, this Li Bai is also a master of swordsmanship?"
"I don't know. It depends on His Majesty's decision. If you don't allow the use of weapons, you won't be able to see it."
Everyone here was whispering, and Li Longji heard it.
"Hahahahaha... Okay, it seems that everyone wants to see the swordsmanship of this banished immortal. Li Bai, just fight with him with swords. Remember, don't kill, just stop there."
Li Longji naturally knew that Pei Min had several apprentices, one of whom was Li Bai. He had checked this a few years ago.
Kunlun slave is a little uncomfortable here. He is only a big star, how can he fight with Zhongtian? Isn't that a grandpa beating his grandson?
