At noon, Ling Jing took Wang Xuance and four others to leave Jiulongtan Mountain. In the evening, Ma Sanbao appeared at Jiulongtan Mountain.
After seeing Li Yuanji, he looked suspicious.
"I have met His Highness, King Qi. I wonder if His Highness, King Qi, has summoned me. What are your instructions?"
Ma Sanbao bowed, looking very humble, but his eyes showed no humility, instead they were full of curiosity.
I wonder what Li Yuanji wants to do with him.
As far as he knew, although Li Yuanji did not have as many capable and righteous people as Li Shimin, they were still enough, and it seemed that he was not needed yet.
Li Yuanji asked Ma Sanbao to sit down and let Ma Sanbao pour tea by himself. After tasting the tea for a while, he slowly said, "Sanbao, do what you said before still count?"
Ma Sanbao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Li Yuanji's words. "What your Highness is saying is that I have promised to Your Highness that I am willing to die for Your Highness?"
Li Yuanji nodded slightly.
Ma Sanbao said without hesitation: "It's natural. Although I am not a gentleman, I am still a man of seven feet. Every spit is a nail."
Li Yuanji nodded with satisfaction and said: "I don't need you to die for me, I just need to borrow your sharp tongue."
Ma Sanbao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Highness is asking me to come forward to lobby someone?"
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Yes, I just don't know that your sharp tongue is not as powerful as it used to be."
Ma Sanbao rolled his eyes and said: "The former minister was able to persuade He Panren*, and that was because he was following the trend. He Panren had long wanted to surrender, and he also knew that as a Hu merchant, it was impossible for him to be recognized by the people of the Central Plains, and it was impossible for him to be in the Central Plains.
I am sitting in a big position, so I am looking for a wise master.
The minister just helped him analyze the general trend of the world and told him that Duke Tang was the wise master, without saying anything else.
If His Highness wants me to help lobby someone, I can’t guarantee whether it will happen or not.”
Li Yuanji said quietly: "Then what if my sister orders you to help lobby someone?"
Ma Sanbao's eyes were fixed, and he said with a solemn expression: "Even if the lobbying fails, I will try every means to convince him to join my master."
Li Yuanji sighed in his heart. They really are different people and receive different treatment.
"Then you go and try for me first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my sister for help."
Li Yuanji said angrily.
Ma Sanbao people suddenly became ill.
Don't play like this.
If you insist on me getting things done, just make a big move.
You used a small move and then used a big move to hang over my head. What's going on?
"Your Highness, you might as well just go and beg my master."
Ma Sanbao said helplessly.
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "I have to see how much your life is worth first. If it's not worth anything, I won't care if you make any promises to me in the future that you are willing to die for me.
Already."
When Ma Sanbao heard Li Yuanji's words, he knew that he was about to be firmly controlled by Li Yuanji, so he could only appoint him and said: "Your Highness, please give orders."
Li Yuanji narrowed his eyes and said: "I want you to guard the plank road to Shu. When Wang Gui and Du Yan pass by one day, bring them back to see me."...
