Chapter 22: Confession to the Enemy
When Wukong finished practicing, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
After slowly getting up from the ground, he found Du Fuwei, Lang Chuyun, Li Ruohai, and a very young-looking strange man with gray temples and a very elegant temperament with a silver glittering five-inch needle between his ears, smiling at him.
When Du Fuwei saw that his son got up, he hurriedly ran to Wukong's side, pointed at the strange man and said, "Son, this is the world-famous poison doctor Lie Zhenbei, you hurry up and ask him to help you check your body and see if there is anything that needs to be recuperated." After saying that, he pulled Goku to the north of the Earthquake.
As a martial artist, Wukong is absolutely clear about his physical condition, and he doesn't want Lie Zhenbei to check himself, for fear that the other party will find out the secrets in his body.
Therefore, after Wukong saluted everyone respectfully, he smiled and said, "Nansui Du Xiaodan pays a visit to Mr. Lie, because of my business, this time it is too troublesome for you." I'm not in a hurry, you must have been running all night, and now you are very tired. Well, you can rest well until you ....... Before Wukong finished speaking, Lie Zhenbei said with a smile.
"No need, my business is nothing, let's check it for you first. After saying that, Lie Zhenbei slowly grabbed Wukong's wrist.
Wukong saw that Lie Zhenbei was so dedicated, he immediately took a step back, and then said with a dry smile: "No, no, if you don't have a good rest, how can I be embarrassed to let you help me check? After a quick remark, Goku trotted away from the platform.
Seeing this, Du Fuwei and the others looked at each other, and then returned to the cabin together.
When Du Fuwei sent someone to lead Wukong to his own ultra-luxurious cabin, and after washing and changing clothes, Wukong wore a red robe full of little monkeys, and entered Li Shimin's cabin with an expressionless face.
Although Li Shimin is now a prisoner who has been taken into custody, the cabin he lives in at this time is also very spacious and luxurious.
After sending the guards away, Wukong sat on a chair next to the boat and quietly looked at Li Shimin on the bed.
After nearly ten minutes, Wukong saw that Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind and was not ready to speak first, so Wukong sighed lightly and said slowly.
"Second brother, you led the army to attack Nanliang, although you lost 350,000 soldiers and horses, you pacified the south for Dasui. You say...... and want me to reward you. After saying that, Wukong remained motionless, waiting for Li Shimin's concession.
Hearing Wukong's words, Li Shimin immediately frowned tightly, and after pondering for a while, he said coldly to Wukong: "The reason you are looking for sounds beautiful, okay, in that case...... , you can help me ascend to the position of Li Tang's crown prince. With that, he sat up slowly and looked at Goku with a smile.
Li Shimin's conditions did not exceed Wukong's expectations, so after staring at Li Shimin for a while, Wukong said coldly: "If you were me, would you agree to this condition? I'm afraid you would have thrown me into the river to feed the fish." That's right, you're right, and I can do agree to that. However, even if you become the crown prince, or even the king of Tang, what can you do?" said this, Wukong slowly stood up and continued calmly.
"Let me tell you the truth, I have never put the whole Li Tang in my eyes! I let you tell the truth to my father-in-law, just because I don't want his old man to misunderstand my attitude. If you really think about your family, your father, and yourself, don't wait for me to send someone to tell your father-in-law the truth of the matter. If you don't, I'll abolish you. After saying it plainly, Wukong turned around and walked towards the door, no longer ready to talk nonsense with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin lowered his head and thought quickly, and when Wukong put his hand on the doorknob and was about to leave here, he suddenly shouted angrily: "You let me tell the truth, is it different from abolishing me——! I will help you attack the shrimp country, but I want half of the territory of the shrimp country, and be a prince with real power——! Du Xiaodan! If you agree to my condition...... , I'm ...... in this life , no longer against you——!" After yelling, Li Shimin was extremely painful, bowed his head and cried.
There must be an understanding of the matter, because of Li Shimin's rebellion, and the entire 350,000 Tang army was directly killed in vain, Wukong must also give Li Yuan an explanation.
It is simply impossible to use the head of the entire Xiao clan to calm the anger of the entire Li clan.
After investigating to the end, after finally grasping the evidence of Li Shimin's rebellion, he used Li Shimin's head to make the entire Li family have nothing to say, and Wukong couldn't do this kind of thing.
Therefore, Wukong had no choice but to say that the 350,000 people who died on the surface were Li Tang's fallen soldiers in the first battle of Wuxia, and then secretly, let Li Shimin tell his people the truth.
Wukong himself can also talk about this matter, or he can send someone to tell Li Yuan the truth, but if he tells Li Yuan like this, Li Yuan will not be able to put his heart down at all, and he will inevitably be frightened and constantly doubt whether Wukong really let go of the Li family.
Therefore, in order to show his sincerity, Wukong only needs to let Li Shimin himself explain.
Of course, in order to achieve the goal of sealing and weakening Li Tang, Wukong must also properly deal with the remaining 150,000 people in the Southern Army.
When this matter is over, when Li Shimin returns to Li Tang with a disgraced face, it is estimated that he will not want to go out of Big Star City again in his life.
For a military general who fought on the battlefield, it was impossible for Li Shimin to accept this kind of thing, which was tantamount to directly abolishing his terrible result.
Therefore, in desperation, Li Shimin had no choice but to exchange a retreat with Wukong on the condition of not rebelling, which he himself did not want to choose.
Wukong can refuse Li Shimin, or he can directly put him under house arrest for the rest of his life, but ...... , Wukong held the doorknob, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said to Li Shimin.
"Okay, I'll give you one more chance. The next time you turn against me, you'd better just kill me. Otherwise...... If you fail again, please make a plan that will never see the light of day. After the letter is written, send it to me, you can do it yourself. After saying that, Wukong opened the door and left the place without looking back.
Looking at the back of Wukong leaving, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, grabbed the sheets, and sat for a long time with an extremely painful expression, then grabbed a kettle at the head of the bed and smashed it against the wall in front of him.
Then, after Li Shimin took two deep breaths, he slowly got up and got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.
