"Ah? Provocation?" Li Huairen was no longer panicked when he heard this. But then he quickly explained: "Brother Kuan... tell me honestly, the work you asked me to do before... or the work I did for you, that was much easier than this! So it's not that my ears are not good, but I don't trust my ears at all..."

"It's hard for you..." Although Li Huairen's expression was somewhat unclear, fortunately His Royal Highness the King of Chu understood it all: "How about this, I'll let Fang Yiai and Du He accompany you later, and the three of you... Oh... Wait..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly remembered that these people had the ability to provoke, but to do this job... they had to take their own people's safety into consideration more or less: "How about this, you go find Yuwen Qing later and ask him to bring some people to accompany you."

"Brother Kuan, don't you think we shouldn't take Tang Guan with us?" Li Huairen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, now also believes in "sharing the good and the bad": "Besides, the Honglu Temple is his father's territory. It will be easier for us to get things done if we take him with us!"

"Not bad, not bad, really good! Huairen, you are as smart as me!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu expressed his appreciation for Li Huairen's wit: "Then go to the Tang Mansion and discuss it with him."

"No problem!" Li Huairen nodded immediately upon hearing this and said, "Just leave this to me - Oh... No! Brother Kuan, then I'm going to the Tang residence, what are you going to do there?!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu wanted to take back his previous praise at this moment: "If you go to the Tang Mansion, I have to go back to Yushan in person to explain to Yuwen Qing what to pay attention to in this matter? Don't you know who he is?"

"That's true..." Li Huairen was now truly amazed by the retainers under Kuan Ge'er. Needless to say, Wang Xuance was a figure that even his father Li Xiaogong was afraid of. And Yuwen Qing was the first among the retainers of His Royal Highness the King of Chu to be listed on the "List of Rebels under the King of Chu" by the officials in the court.

Even Dou Gong had to step back a little!

why?

Yuwen Qing, this reckless man... He almost killed two dukes at Mount Li at once...

Moreover, above this reckless man there is an even more reckless King of Chu...

Who is not afraid?

Back to the topic, after parting with Li Huairen, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately left the city and went to Yushan.

But after he arrived at Yushan Villa, he found that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were extremely respectful after seeing him for the first time: "Your servants Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are here to greet the master! May the master be blessed with good health, may the master have a long life, may the master..."

“Wait a minute, you two…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has always believed that Taoists, especially high-ranking Taoists…must have some ability to suppress evil spirits, right?

But he didn't expect... that these two guys were actually "possessed by evil spirits" today, wow... it seems that the business ability of this door... is not good enough!

"Hey, you two," His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him with a complicated expression, "What's wrong with you? I have never seen such a greeting in the palace... What's the matter... Are you two going to steal Cheng Xin and Yao Ji's jobs?"

“Your Highness…” Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang sighed first. Then, while Li Chunfeng was secretly keeping watch for him, he quietly pointed at the Villa and whispered, “Your Highness… Please don’t be offended. There is really… a great terror in the Villa!”

"Ah?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu frowned upon hearing this: "My father destroyed my lair?!"

"That's not the case..." Yuan Tiangang shook his head first, then he said with a bitter face: "Your Highness... please go in and take a look yourself..."

“Gangzi, you are becoming more and more of a coward.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu curled his lips upon hearing this, and then swaggered into the villa: “Who is it? Who is the great terror that Gangzi mentioned? How dare you run into this land of mine and act wildly?!”

Little did he know that as soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu opened his mouth, Yuan Tiangang's body outside the gate shuddered inexplicably.

This ancestor... he really wants me to "ascend to heaven in broad daylight"...

"Your Highness, you have caused so much trouble to Yuan Tiangang by saying this..." The one who answered was Jiang Qu who walked out of the lobby, and next to him stood an old Taoist with a smiling face.

The old Taoist had white hair and beard, wore yellow clothes and a yellow crown, and held a simple nine-section staff in his hand. "Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you still remember me?"

“Ah…huh? Uh…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu touched his head awkwardly.

Um...this king...should this king remember?

His Royal Highness Prince Chu knew that when he was a child, there would always be some strange people coming to visit his grandmother from time to time, but... for His Royal Highness Prince Chu, this was not as interesting as him sneaking out to walk around the streets and causing trouble everywhere...

"Mr. Zhang, don't joke. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was just a naive child back then. How could he remember you?" After all, Jiang Qu had been with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu for many years. Even if he was raising a... a golden arowana, he would have feelings for the fish. So when he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was embarrassed, he immediately took the initiative to smooth things over for him.

"Mr. Jiang is right. I was a little self-righteous." The old Taoist nodded with a smile. He looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a gentler look. "Don't blame me, Your Highness. I am just happy to see that you have grown into a peerless genius. At the same time, I feel that I have not done enough in these years..."

"Ah?! What?!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu tilted his head upon hearing this, and the peerless genius instantly became a fool: "No, this... old man with a white beard, this king... this head of the family... this head of the family feels uncomfortable listening to you..."

"Hahaha... Your Highness's reaction is within my expectations." Upon seeing this, the old man stepped forward, took out a palm-sized gourd from his arms, and handed it to Li Kuan: "You... have suffered in the palace again... Take this medicine powder and apply it when you have time. In less than two days, your injuries will be healed."

"No... you..." It must be said that the old man's move completely defeated His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu: "Thank you..."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought it over again and again, and finally reached out to take the medicine powder handed to him by the other party.

At the same time, His Royal Highness the King of Chu also felt that Yuan Tiangang’s previous statement was a bit exaggerated.

He's just an ordinary old man, what's so scary about that?

Just as His Royal Highness the King of Chu was about to ask about the other party's origins, suddenly, a long crane cry was heard, and then His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that something huge was flying over his head. When he looked up at the sky, he saw a huge crane with a wingspan of nearly ten feet flying slowly over his head.

“This…” Even if His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had a dull mind, he knew that the man’s origins were not ordinary: “Old… Old Heavenly Master, did you raise this immortal bird?”

"Your Highness, you are joking. This big yellow crane was raised by my ancestor, and it has lived for nearly five hundred years." As soon as the old Taoist opened his mouth, he said something incredible.

"Alas... I..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that his brain was not enough: "Old man... Are you bullying me because I haven't read many books? I'm telling you, I haven't read many books, but I'm very good at reading military books! Be careful of me..." Halfway through his words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt the warning look from Jiang Qu on the side, and couldn't help but said aggrievedly: "Mr. Jiang, I'm not looking for trouble, it's this old man who's bullying me! How can animals in this world live so long?! Is this reasonable? This is unreasonable!"

“Your Highness…” Jiang Qu felt that this unfortunate child was really blind and didn’t know what he was talking about: “I think…if Zhang Tianshi’s ancestor was called Zhang Jiao…then this matter makes sense…”
