Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

The next day, early in the morning.

After a good night's sleep, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sat in his tent with a golden sword, and announced the new members of the gang to the summoned retainers: "Pei Xingjian, born in the west family of Pei Shi in Hedong, will also be my retainer in the future. Everyone should follow him carefully. He gets along well."

"..." Pei Xingjian did not expect that after that night, he would inexplicably become a retainer of His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Your Highness... Xingjian has received such preferential treatment without having made any merit under your command. How can this make..."

"Alas! What Xingjian said is wrong! I have confidence in you!" When His Highness the King of Chu said this, his tone was full of appreciation for Pei Xingjian.

"Your Highness..." Although Yu Wenqing stayed outside the tent all night last night, but now seeing His Royal Highness the King of Chu starting to behave like "Corporal Courtesy and Xian" again, he inevitably had a feeling of being "stolen" in his heart. : "Rong Chen, please tell me the truth, your subordinates don't raise mediocre people... Besides, we don't lack... so many... manpower..."

"You can do it." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was sometimes very impressed with Yu Wenqing's ability to pick up which pot he didn't like: "Are you trying to say that before Xing Jian came, we were already invincible? Yu Wen Qing, Yu Wenqing...how can you be more inflated than this king? This is unacceptable..."

"Your Highness, I didn't mean that..." Yu Wenqing felt that the topic was distorted by the head of the family again, but he was stupid and didn't know how to defend himself, so for a moment, the confidant of His Highness King Chu suddenly His face turned red with anxiety.

At this time, it is necessary for the really smart people among the retainers to step forward and continue to increase their intensity.

"Your Highness, why do you like Pei Xingjian so much? Is it because his eldest brother is Pei Xingyan, the 'enemy of ten thousand people' in the late Sui Dynasty?" One night was enough for Wang Xuance to understand Pei Xingjian's origins clearly.

"What? Pei Xingyan is Xingjian's eldest brother?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu really forgot about this incident. In fact, it's not his fault. This guy can only remember Pei Xingjian because he is standing aside at the moment and not saying anything. The one-word Su Dingfang - this famous general of the Tang Dynasty who would shine in the future, his disciple was Pei Xingjian, who was still unfamiliar with him at this time.

"Your Highness, when it comes to force, I am far inferior to my brother..." Pei Xingjian is an honest man. To be honest, he thought about it all night last night and couldn't figure out why His Highness the King of Chu valued him so highly. At first, he thought it was because After all, no matter how honest he is, his clan brother will never believe the polite words His Highness King Chu said before. Later, he felt that it might be because his deceased brother had such a great reputation that he allowed His Highness King Chu to treat him. I also had expectations... But now, Pei Xingjian doesn't see it that way.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu seems to truly believe that he will achieve great things in the future.

This trust even exceeded Pei Xingjian's own trust in himself.

So Pei Xingjian began to feel unconfident again - this young man who had been through hardships since childhood felt that he couldn't bear the deep friendship that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had for him.

"Xingjian, don't put any pressure on yourself." His Highness the King of Chu couldn't see the uneasiness in Pei Xingjian's heart at this moment, so he said more and more kindly: "My appreciation for you comes from the first time we met. At that time, you were neither humble nor arrogant. Of course, in fact, you have also seen that the king’s decision to keep you is indeed giving Chengxian face. But if the king thinks highly of you, it is not anyone’s face. From now on, you must Work hard and prove to everyone that you are worthy of this king's respect, otherwise..." After saying this, His Royal Highness King Chu raised his hand and shook his fist at the other party: "Your family leader does not have many advantages. But when it comes to persuading people with virtue, no one in the world can match him.”

"Ahem..." Qibi Heli, Ashina Simo and others saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was starting to work again, and these former victims couldn't help showing strange expressions.

"What?" His Highness the King of Chu has long since disappeared from the group of foreign generals: "Martial virtue is not 'virtue'? Who of you two has an opinion? If you have an opinion, please stand up. Let's practice when my legs and feet are better. practice?"

"Don't... don't, don't, don't, don't..." Ashina Helu was now convinced by His Highness King Chu's arrogant and shameless attitude: "Your Highness, we are convinced, we must be convinced!"

"That's about right." Li Kuan nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Pei Xingjian again, who could not hide his excitement at this time: "I made my own decision before, now I formally ask you, Pei Xingjian, are you willing?" Become my king’s retainer? Will you serve me wholeheartedly from now on?”

"Your Highness, this is Xingjian's wish, but I didn't dare to invite you before!" Things had reached this point. Pei Xingjian knew that it would be inappropriate to continue to be pretentious.

"Sure," Li Kuan nodded, and then waved to Wang Xuance, who wanted to give him advice again: "Xuance, take the others down. By the way, Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian are staying. I have something to explain to them. "

"Wei!" Wang Xuance immediately bowed to accept the order, and then left the tent with the others.

"Your Highness, I wonder if there is anything you need me to do for you?" Su Dingfang was also a little surprised as to why His Highness the King of Chu would keep him here. At this moment... His Highness should give Pei Xingjian a good picture just like he did when he conquered him... Well, Stuffing pancakes...

"After next spring, aren't you going to Gaochang?" His Highness the King of Chu was worried about the Tang Dynasty: "At that time, I will send two hundred personal guards to protect your safety in secret, so after you go to Gaochang , don’t have any scruples, just do what you have to do, fight if you can, and if you really can’t fight, just retreat to the pass and wait for me to bring my troops to regain the ground for you.”

"Your Highness..." Su Dingfang, who had been slandering His Highness King Chu just now, felt really guilty now: "Don't worry, Su Lie is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Gaochang City will never be lost in my hands! "

"Then you have to die to prove your steadfastness?" His Highness King Chu sometimes couldn't understand why Su Dingfang started to look at Yu Wenqing now: "Don't misinterpret my meaning, in my eyes , You Su Dingfang is much more important than the entire Gaochang City. If the city is gone, I can take it back. If you are gone, where can I find such a beloved general who can fight?"

"Your Highness, just don't worry, Su Lie can't die, and Gaochang City... can't be lost!" Su Dingfang is Su Dingfang, he has his pride and principles.
