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

What His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, "Speed ​​is the essence of war", is obviously different from what ordinary people understand.

Because the first thing this guy did after walking out of the Honglu Temple with Du Ruhui was to dismantle Du Ruhui's carriage.

"I say... Your Highness the Prince of Chu..." Du Ruhui was obviously also shocked by His Highness the Prince of Chu's natural bandit behavior: "What are you doing?! I still need to take a carriage back home..."

"Uncle Du, I'm sorry." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled when he heard this, but his hands were still very quick. "In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I can't just take the horse from the Honglu Temple's stable. After all, there are grooms from the envoys looking after it there."

"Huh?!" Du Ruhui was shocked when he heard what His Royal Highness Prince Chu said: "Your Highness, you don't want to..."

"That's right," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had already untied the harness of the carriage and led the horse out. He then jumped on the horse. Even without a saddle, he was still unaffected. "Uncle Du, I will leave the city now and will arrive at the northwest grassland in about ten days. Hey... I want to see who gave the eighteen tribes of the grassland the courage to nominate a new Khan at this time!"

"Your Highness!" Du Ruhui was stunned: "You are going to expose the truth!"

"What are you afraid of?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said as he patted the neck of the strong horse under his crotch. "It's just a beating from my father. Can he kill me? By the way, Uncle Du, please tell my eldest brother to take good care of Xiao Sizi for me. Put some vegetables in the minced meat porridge for her and don't let her be picky about food. Also, if Xiao Sizi asks about me, tell her that her second brother is going on a long trip recently and will be back soon, and will bring her gifts. In addition... forget it, that's all. Anyway... Uncle Du, thank you for your help! I'm leaving first! Go!"

……

It was not until the figure of His Royal Highness the King of Chu disappeared at the end of the long street that Du Ruhui realized how well the King of Chu had learned the art of war.

It’s over… It’s all fucking over…

How can I explain this to His Majesty? !

Just as Du Ruhui's face was filled with annoyance, Tang Jian, who had just arranged the aftermath of the incident, walked out leisurely from the gate of the Honglu Temple behind him.

"Alas... Is it easy for me to be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?! All the troubles caused by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu depend on me to clean up for him..." Tang Jian, who was muttering to himself with resentment, could not help but be surprised when he saw Du Ruhui standing like a wooden sculpture: "Mr. Du, why haven't you left yet? By the way, where is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?"

"Lord Tang..." Du Ruhui turned his head and said in a gloomy tone, "If I tell you now that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already set out for the Northern Expedition, would you believe it?"

"Huh?" Tang Jian, who hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet, thought the other party was joking: "Why are you becoming more humorous recently?"

"Interesting?" Du Ruhui sneered, then pointed at his carriage without horses: "Take a look at this..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jian turned around and looked at the carriage.

Then, the two were silent for a long time.

"Mr. Du...how long has His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu been away..."

"About half an incense stick..."

"It's over..." Tang Jian sighed to the sky after hearing this: "It's completely over..."

There is no way to catch up now...

And the fact is just as Tang Jian expected: when the old man went to the palace to report the truth to His Majesty Li II, at the Yushan Villa outside the city, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already started to call out his generals: "Yuwen Qing, Jiang Sheng, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, Wang Xuance, the five of you follow me."

"Your Highness, where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that... the conspiracy has been exposed?" - In the lobby of the villa, Yuwen Qing spoke in the standard anti-traitor style.

“Can you please think of me a little better?!” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was really annoyed with this idiot sometimes, but business was more important at the moment: “I suddenly decided to go to the grassland again to see if there are any geniuses among the eighteen tribes of the grassland after the defeat. So those who I just named, get ready immediately, we’ll leave right away!”

"Going to the grassland again?! Now?! With so few people?!" Jiang Qu is the most powerful of the retainers of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and Dou Shilun is relieved to let him take charge of Yushan. But facing such an unconventional master, Jiang Qu feels that it is too early for Lord Dou to be relieved of him...

"Mr. Jiang, you know that I have elite warriors on the grassland, and those small fry are just a drop in the bucket!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now fourteen years old, and it is the time for him to grow up. Compared with before, the strength of his shadow assassins has improved a lot.

If we say that two years ago, during the war between His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Shuofang City, the individual strength of the shadow assassins was only slightly stronger than that of his retainers, then now, it is basically no pressure for him to fight one against three.

Therefore, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to the northwest this time, he had no intention of taking his troops out to risk their lives.

Because there was really no need for it, and he planned to win by speed, and bringing his troops would definitely slow down the march.

"Is it really so?" Jiang Qu was somewhat skeptical of the assurance of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu: "Your Highness, I have to remind you that your expedition this time is different from the last time. First of all, Prince Consort Chai is not in Shuofang City, and General Li Jing is not at the border, and he has no command of the army. So if you want to mobilize the troops guarding the border of the Tang Dynasty, it is basically impossible..."

"I know!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hands upon hearing this, and then said arrogantly: "In this battle, I am invincible, understand?"

"..." All the retainers fell silent upon hearing this.

"What do you mean?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows when he saw this: "So you also think that I am unreliable?"

"Your Highness, when have you ever been reliable..." Wang Xuance couldn't help but complain when he heard it.

"So are you going or not?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu began to put pressure on him.

"Go, you must go!" Yuwen Qing is always the solid backing of His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Your Highness, I am willing to follow you until death!"

"Your Highness, I will go too." Li Chunfeng ignored his senior brother's warning and stood up to kowtow. "Speaking of which, I am quite accomplished in Feng Shui. If you are really unable to do it, I can also make proper arrangements for your retreat."

"Junior brother..." Yuan Tiangang felt a little annoyed at the moment: Although your words are well-intentioned, the problem is that our master has never lost a battle... So he may not be willing to appreciate it...

"Hey, Lord Jiang." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not angry because of Li Chunfeng's thoughtfulness. Instead, he used this opportunity to persuade the silent Jiang Qu: "You see, although Gangzi is unreliable, Chunfeng is different..."

"..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, Yuan Tiangang on the side felt offended.
