The Lanling Xiao family came after Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.

As one of the top families in the Central Plains, the Xiao family's financial strength and talent pool are unimaginable to outsiders.

The Xiao family courtyard is magnificent.

At the door, there were several strong men with bulging temples and shining eyes.

In front of the door, there are two huge and ferocious Pixiu statues.

The wind picked up suddenly and the leaves fell.

In the distance, a rapid sound of horse hooves came.

Although the sound is rapid, it is extremely neat, and the horses' hooves on the ground have a consistent rhythm.

The ground rumbled, and the guards at the entrance of Xiao Mansion immediately turned around and looked.

I saw the first rider, wearing a silver helmet with phoenix wings, silver armor with dragon scales, a nine-dragon white robe, a red cloak on his shoulders, holding a terrifying Fangtian painted halberd, with black snow and black hair on his crotch, looking majestic. Come.

Behind him, fifty white-armored cavalry were fierce and fierce.

The people around looked at it with horror on their faces and did not dare to get close.

The charging and galloping momentum of the fifty-one cavalry made people feel as if they were facing the oppression of thousands of troops.

Especially the general at the front exuded majesty and domineering power. At first glance, he was subconsciously frightened and did not dare to look directly at him.

There were fifty-one riders in total, galloping to the gate of Xiao Mansion.

They reined in their horses and hovered, their movements uniform, as if they had rehearsed it thousands of times.

The guards of the Xiao Mansion knew that the other party had a serious background as soon as they saw him, and they did not dare to be negligent at all. They quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully:

"This is the Lanling Xiao Mansion. May I ask who is coming so that I can come to the manor to report."

Then a knight flashed out next to the general, showed a token, and said:

"King Wu has arrived, so he hastily opened the middle door to welcome him!"

When the guards of the Xiao Mansion heard this, they were immediately shocked and quickly bowed down:

"See King Wu!"

They had no doubt that the other party was pretending to be someone else.

No one else dared to pretend to be Li Changqing because of his great reputation!

When the people around him saw this, they knew that King Wu was here, and they hurriedly paid their respects.

They shouted:"See you here. King Wu!"

Li Changqing's face was solemn and majestic, he nodded slightly and said:"Everyone, get up."

The guards of the Xiao Mansion got up and sent one person back to report. The others quickly opened the middle door to welcome Li Changqing. In ancient times, the middle door was generally not open.

Only on important festivals or when important people came to the door, would they open the door. Open the middle door.

Li Changqing dismounted and entered the mansion. The people behind him immediately started talking.

"It was rumored that King Wu was the most powerful general in the world, and it turned out to be true. A certain person had been killing pigs for thirty years and was filled with murderous intent. When he saw King Wu, he could not help but tremble in his heart."

"King Wu swept across the feudal lords and unified them to put an end to the wars in the late Sui Dynasty. We also launched a northern expedition against the Turks, annihilating them in Langjuxu Mountain, and expanding another three thousand miles of territory for our Tang Dynasty. What a blessing it is that China has King Wu!"

"King Wu's achievements surpass those of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of Han Dynasty. I never thought that someone would have such an opportunity to meet King Wu Tianyan!"

……

Xiao Mansion.

A group of Xiao family elders walked out quickly to greet Li Changqing.

At the moment, a middle-aged man bowed and bowed:"Yu, meet King Wu! I don't know King Wu's sage, and I missed the greeting from afar. Please forgive me!"

This man is the clan leader of the Xiao family in Lanling, and his name is Xiao Yu..

Xiao Yu was the seventh son of Xiao Kui, Emperor Ming of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, half-brother of Xiao Cong, Emperor Jing of Liang, and younger brother of the former Empress Xiao of Sui Dynasty!

When he was young, he was famous for his filial piety.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty and the fall of the Western Liang Dynasty, he followed Empress Xiao to Chang'an and became the Minister of Internal Affairs.

Because he spoke out and remonstrated, he was demoted to be the governor of Hechi.

In the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Changqing conquered the world and unified the country. The Xiao family of Lanling also submitted to the Tang Dynasty.

In history, when Li Shimin ascended the throne, Xiao Yu was appointed prime minister six times by Li Shimin because of his uprightness and uprightness, ranking ninth among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!

After the ceremony, Xiao Yu immediately welcomed Li Changqing to the inner hall and arranged for tea to be served on both sides.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Yu asked:"I don't know why King Wu came to Xiao Mansion?"

Li Changqing swept through the Eighteen Routes of Guanzhong to rebel against the king, defeated all the princes with iron-blooded means, and offended many noble families.

But the Lanling Xiao family was not among them.

Because of Empress Xiao's stronghold, the Xiao family of Lanling was a relative of the Sui Dynasty and had overwhelming power in the world.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, various factions rebelled against the king and various princes rebelled, all of which had nothing to do with the Xiao family.

Although Li Tang finally stole the Sui Dynasty, it was Yu Wenji who truly overturned the Sui Dynasty.

Therefore, there is no hatred between Xiao Yu and Li Changqing.

Li Changqing took out a letter and handed it to Xiao Yu, saying:"This is a letter from the former Empress Xiao of the Sui Dynasty."

Xiao Yu trembled when he heard this. He opened the letter and confirmed that the handwriting in it was indeed the handwriting of Empress Xiao, with a smile on his face. There was a rush of excitement. Watch it quickly!

After he finished reading, he immediately stood up and bowed to Li Changqing until the end.

"King Wu wiped out the Turks, saved his sister, and put her in dire straits. I am extremely grateful!"

Li Changqing took a sip of tea carefully. The tea was very fragrant in his mouth. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Yu, and said lightly:"Wanzhi will be the concubine of the East Palace of the widow. You are Wanzhi's uncle. From now on, you and the widow will also be regarded as the concubine. We are a family, so there is no need to be so polite."

Having said that, Li Changqing is the king and the emperor. How dare Xiao Yu ignore the etiquette by relying on his status as a relative?

"On the night when Yu Wenhua and Yu Jiangdu killed Emperor Sui, his sister indeed entrusted Yu with the imperial seal passed down from generation to generation.

Please ask King Wu to sit here for a while, accompanied by Quan Zi. Yu immediately went to the back room to get the jade seal passed down to King Wu."

After explaining that his son was accompanying him, Xiao Yu left the inner hall and went to get the jade seal of the country.

The importance of the jade seal of the country is unimaginable in this era.

Most people come to get it, even if Li Yuan and Li Shimin come to ask for it, Xiao Yu Yu will categorically deny that the Imperial Seal is in the Xiao family.

But when Li Changqing comes to get it, he has to give it to him.

There are two reasons.

First, there is a letter from Empress Xiao, which clearly states that the Imperial Seal is in the Xiao family in Lanling, and he cannot deny it.

Secondly, Li Changqing was honored as King Bingjian, the supreme king of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Moreover, Empress Xiao married Yang Guang's second daughter, his niece Yang Wanzhi, to Li Changqing as the concubine of the East Palace. In this way, the Xiao family of Lanling was a relative of King Wu!

An in-law relationship has been established between the two.

That’s why Xiao Yu readily handed over the imperial seal._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
