Chapter 40: The Muddled Stirrer

  Li Daoxuan hastily stopped Li Yuanba: "Third brother, the three-product salary of this dynasty is not a lot! I specifically inquired that even the ordinary housekeepers in Second Brother's mansion are twice as much as the three-product salary, which is eight taels of silver!"

  "Oh? Then you take a look and decide how much to give, it's up to you! Let's go." Li Yuanba said nonchalantly.

  "Alright! Third Brother is mighty! I'll go gather people now!" Li Daoxuan excitedly rushed out!

  Li Daoxuan rushed out of Li Yuanba's mansion in a flurry, and immediately found a scholar to help him draft a recruitment notice.

  Hugging a stack of documents, he alone ran wildly and posted them all over Chang'an City. When the patrolling guards tried to stop him, Li Daoxuan glared at them with both eyes: "You scoundrels! Look clearly who authorized these documents! You've come just in time, hurry up and help this official post them in conspicuous places, then shout for people to watch out for me, damn it!"

  These guards who knew characters were immediately stunned when they saw the dazzling big characters at the beginning: The Invincible Great General Li Yuanba!

  But soon became excited: Li Yuanba! This is a synonym for invincibility, overbearingness, loneliness, slaughter and... sadness! To recruit such a person would be an extremely honorable thing!

  Even a madman with only killing in his eyes would not lack worshippers! Let alone Li Yuanba, who shook the entire city of Chang'an at that time!

  Li Yuan angrily said: "What are these three sons trying to do! You quickly investigate this matter, whether it is true or false, who is in charge? If there is any news, hurry up and report!"

  Li Jiancheng heard this and calmly said from his seat, "Is Third Brother also unwilling to be left out? Well, after all, his estate has been the coldest and most deserted imperial residence in history."

  Li Shimin paced back and forth anxiously, uneasily gathering his subordinates: "What's going on? What is this all about? Why did he suddenly want to recruit the Imperial Guard? What does he plan to do? Does anyone know?" The generals were speechless... "No! That matter must be carried out as soon as possible!" Li Shimin felt that he could no longer delay.

  People who wanted to enter Li Yuanba's mansion went to the sea, but Li Yuanba's invincible martial arts also made many young people with low martial arts skills feel embarrassed to accept the challenge. In the end, until dawn, Li Daoxuan personally selected 2,000 outstanding young talents with high martial arts skills from the Jianghu and led them into the mansion. These are all Li Yuanba's fans...

  Those who were concerned about this matter couldn't sleep all night, and Li Daoxuan, who was really causing trouble, was so anxious that the martial artists actually had dark circles under their eyes all night, which is an incredible thing!

  This isn't over yet, on the second day at dawn, Li Yuanba led the robbery of the national treasury! Compared to the national treasury being robbed of tens of millions of taels of silver, which was only a small part, but Li Yuan was so angry that his face turned purple and he almost vomited blood and fell ill in bed! Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, along with the ministers, were all driven mad and couldn't think straight!

  Li Yuanba brought people back to the mansion, worried! These few carts of silver can't be fully distributed at once, so much money urgently needs an accountant, but there isn't one! Since Li Yuanba moved into the mansion, he generally didn't have any expenses. In the end, every day Li Yuan would send someone to specially arrange food and clothing for Li Yuanba's mansion, directly linked to the national treasury! His mansion didn't even set up an accounting department, it was simply a different class of era!

  "You! Go to the imperial palace and ask your father for an accountant, the situation in the mansion is not clear yet you're recklessly hiring people and spending money! Ah, you need to use your brain!" Li Yuanba said with a lonely tone, pointing at Li Daoxuan.

  "Me? Alright! I'll go right away!" Li Daoxuan was also embarrassed by what was said and responded with a loud "yes" as he went out.

  When he saw Li Yuan's black and purple hair, Li Daoxuan almost cried! Wasn't it just about recruiting someone for Third Brother and getting an accountant? Did you have to scold him like that?

  "Get out! Take your people and get out! I don't want to see you again, you damn thing!" Li Yuan almost couldn't help but kill this even more annoying troublemaker after understanding the situation.

  Li Daoxuan smiled and said to Li Yuanba: "Third brother, you see that my little brother's weapons are all gone, can't you find one for him?"

  "Oh? What kind of weapon do you want? I've got this pair of large hammers in my mansion!"

  "Huh? Where can I get Third Brother's beloved weapon! I heard Second Brother has a pair of eight-sided mace with bright silver flowers, Third Brother should give it to me!" Li Daoxuan said matter-of-factly.

  "Alright, let's go!" Li Yuanba got up nonchalantly and took the muddy stick with him to Li Shimin's mansion.

  "Fine! You two have gone too far! Li Yuanba, Li Daoxuan, you two scoundrels! I swear to not rest until I've killed you!" Li Shimin's resentment had reached a boiling point!

  "Li Shimin, give that eight-sided plum blossom bright silver hammer to this brother!" Li Yuanba said directly as soon as he entered the door.

  "Haha, are you referring to Pei Yuanqing's weapon? Second brother, I really don't have it!" Li Shimin said with a smiling face.

  "Big brother, why are you hiding and being secretive? Who in the world doesn't know that these two treasures are in your hands? If you don't want to give them up, just say so, why deceive us? I'm your cousin, and Third Brother is your own flesh-and-blood sibling!" Li Daoxuan didn't understand what was going on inside, but he used familiar words to reproach Li Shimin for being unrighteous!

  Li Shimin didn't think so, you little brat, aren't you deliberately picking a fight?! His face sank: "No! You two are not welcome here!"

  Li Daoxuan was about to speak, but Li Yuanba rushed up and slapped him twice! He threatened: "Don't give face if you don't want face! Hurry up and take it out! Otherwise, I'll beat you until you take it out!" The relationship had already been torn apart, so Li Yuanba didn't care about anything anymore!

  Li Daoxuan hastily stepped forward to persuade: "Third brother, don't use your fists! Second brother can't withstand your violent beating. Besides, brothers have something good to say, don't resort to violence. Otherwise, I won't bother, let's go find Qin Yue's people to settle the score with a copper hammer, how about it, third brother?" Ah, this troublemaker has shifted his attention to Li Yi, who had just managed to escape, namely Qin Yue, the great general of Luo Yi's Wa Pass.

  "None of your business! Li Shimin, are you going to give it or not? If not, don't blame me for not keeping my word!" Li Yuanba felt very embarrassed and had to get his brother's weapon settled. So, Li Shimin compromised...

  Walking on the road, Li Daoxuan swung his silver hammer with great relish. But after a while, he worriedly asked: "Third brother, that's Second Brother! How can you treat him like this? Haven't you heard that you two brothers have been at odds?"

  "Hum! Don't mention him to me! This scoundrel deliberately sent my fourth sister, Xiu Ning, to her death for the sake of military merit. She was his own sister! The heartless beast, if I hadn't thought... Hum! I would have beaten him to death long ago!" Li Yuanba's voice choked with emotion as he spoke.

  "What? Fourth sister was killed by him on purpose! Damn it, I'll settle the score with him right now!" Li Daoxuan's anger flared up and he immediately wanted to go back and kill him.

  "Get out! What are you doing here?! That day will come soon, and none of these would-be emperors are any good!" Li Yuanba slapped Li Daoxuan with a loud crack, almost knocking him over.

  Li Daoxuan said with a scowl: "I didn't provoke you! You almost killed me! Huh? Second brother wants to be emperor? What about big brother? Does he want to kill big brother too?"

  "It's a done deal! You'd better keep your mouth shut!" Li Yuanba said sullenly.

  "Oh! But Third Brother, are you going to watch your brothers slaughter each other? You're almost as bad as the Yang Guang family!" Li Daoxuan thought to himself, fortunately my family isn't fighting for this throne...

  "The imperial family is indeed heartless! I have no confidence in them anymore, you send someone to pay attention to those few nephews of mine and see who has the most potential!"

  "Ah! So it's you, Third Brother... Alright, alright! But I need to find someone to help me now. As a martial artist, I'm not good at delicate tasks!"

  "I didn't expect you to go now either! It seems that someone is needed after all......" Li Yuanba finally didn't want to stay at home anymore!

  Not much going on today, so I'll add another chapter! Although it's not a lot, I still hope brothers and sisters will give me some votes!
