Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince
Chapter 560: Faster Than You
"Your Highness, I was wrong." Seeing that His Highness the King of Chu was about to lose his temper, Yuwen Qing immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Just pretend that I didn't say anything..."
"Xuan Ce, where are those four people?" After glaring at Yuwen Qing, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his gaze back to Wang Xuance.
If those people were too far away from Chang'an, then he would have to leave the city as soon as possible. After all, the King of Chu was kind and benevolent - he couldn't let his good retainer Hong San be in trouble, right?
"Your Highness, Lord Dou said that these four people are now living in seclusion in Chang'an City, living in Yonghefang in the west of the city." Wang Xuance replied respectfully.
"Let's go to Chai Mansion!" Upon hearing that these four people who lived in seclusion in the city had gathered together, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was no longer anxious: "I have already made an agreement with my cousin Ling Wu that we should kill our enemies together!"
"Your Highness... I still feel something is not right..." Wang Xuance always felt that there was something fishy about this matter: "Let's not talk about why Lord Dou sent someone to tell you not to act rashly, but the whereabouts of these four people now is very strange.
They give me the feeling... as if they are waiting to be caught in one fell swoop..."
"What Xuan Ce said makes sense." Jiang Sheng waited for Wang Xuance to finish speaking, then nodded in agreement, "Logically speaking, if the four of them flee separately, they will have a greater chance of survival..."
"What if these four people have been deliberately kept by Lord Dou all these years?" After listening to Wang Xuance and Jiang Sheng's speeches, Yuwen Qing gave his own opinion: "With Lord Dou's means, this matter is simply a trivial matter!"
"What does Lord Dou want?" He Mingshan did not quite agree with Yuwen Qing's opinion: "Among the four, Li Zhongwen has been expelled from the ranks of Dou's retainers by the old lady. As for the remaining three..." As He Mingshan was speaking, his eyes suddenly flickered.
The remaining three... all of them had sworn to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu until death, and that’s why the old lady saved their lives...
Although he was still young at that time, as a retainer of the Dou family, he was present when the old lady dealt with the matter.
As long as the three of them were not really stupid, they should have understood that if they swore in front of the head of the Dou family, they must fulfill it. If they violated it, the revenge of the Dou family would be more effective than the retribution in the oath...
"He Mingshan, why don't you say anything?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was very curious. He was somewhat surprised that He Mingshan appeared here, but who would have thought that this guy seemed to know some secrets.
"Your Highness, why don't we go back..." As if he had thought of something, He Mingshan's voice trembled slightly - no wonder Lord Dou sent a message last night asking him to come to Chang'an this morning.
So... the other party wanted to let His Royal Highness the King of Chu know those things through his mouth...
"You are hiding something from me." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this in a tone of affirmation rather than a question: "Tell me, what is it?"
"Your Highness, I think Lord Dou may be planning to kill these four people himself to warn the Dou family's retainers who have slowly become complacent in their hearts over the years..." He Mingshan said his guess, his expression became serious: "The crimes committed by those four people back then... are only known to a few people... But I can be sure that they must die!"
"You are almost confusing me..." After listening to He Mingshan's confusing narration, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly felt his head swell.
Forget it……
I am just a barbarian. Now my barbarian brain tells me that I should use the power of a barbarian to deal with this matter instead of just relying on blind guesses and wasting opportunities.
"Let's go to Chai Mansion and call my two cousins, and then we will attack Yonghefang!"
"only!"
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's swift and decisive approach to doing things is actually quite in line with the preferences of most of his retainers.
Of course, although Wang Xuance had just agreed to the King of Chu's order, he still couldn't let go of the doubts in his heart.
So this made him a little absent-minded when riding.
"Xuan Ce, watch the road, you almost rode your horse into the river just now!" - In front of the Chai Mansion, the King of Chu, dressed in military uniform, stopped his horse and scolded his trusted retainer. Then he turned to the stunned Chai Mansion supervisor and said, "Housekeeper Wang, where is my cousin?"
"Here!" Before the palace could speak, the Chai brothers - Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, who were also wearing heavy armor, each holding a long bow and a sword on their waist, came out of the gate in response.
"The people are in Yonghefang. The three of us will be responsible for the main attack, and the others will plunder the enemy. So, my two cousins, you have to fight hard this time!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not originally planned to bring Wang Xuance and others, but since Uncle Dou had spoken, he no longer refused. However, this matter of revenge would naturally be better if he did it in person.
"Cousin, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Chai Zhewei said as he strode down the stairs. At the same time, a groom from the Chai mansion brought the eldest son's most beloved Ferghana horse over.
"That's right!" Compared to the eldest son's steadiness, the second son Chai Lingwu... is a very stupid person. He walked down the stairs with difficulty while shouting, "Humph, cousin, if the three of us form a formation, there will be no one in the world who can match us!"
"You can just brag about this by yourself, don't involve me..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu always felt that he saw the shadow of his sixth brother Li Yin in Chai Lingwu.
This time, he and his cousin Zhewei were in charge of the killing, and as for his cousin Lingwu... only Gaga was left...
Stop gossiping.
After the Chai brothers got on their horses, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu led them on horseback towards Yonghefang.
But today Yonghefang is exceptionally quiet.
At least when the sound of horse hooves of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's group rang out outside the gate, no movement was heard from inside.
"It's strange, don't the people in this neighborhood come out during the day?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at the quiet scene in the neighborhood, which was like a street cleaning drum, with no one seen for a long time, and felt very strange.
"Will there be an ambush?" This is what Chai Lingwu is most concerned about.
"You won't go in if there's an ambush?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard this: "There is no trap in this world that can swallow a blue dragon like me!"
"If your uncle heard you say that... you'll get beaten again..." Chai Lingwu curled his lips when he heard that: "But cousin, you do have the spirit of a hero!"
"That's right! That tyrant is not the father of anyone!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his chin proudly, then dismounted, and with a "clang" he drew out the long sword from his waist, and walked in front: "When I rush in later, the two of you will follow me and charge together. Remember, we have to strike first, so don't be soft-hearted!"
"Understood!" Chai Zhewei, who was now holding a knife beside Li Kuan, responded in a deep voice.
"I roughly understand..." Chai Lingwu imitated his brother and guarded the other side of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
"You still don't understand..." Wang Xuance had no choice at this time. He, Yuwen Qing and Jiang Sheng silently stayed by Chai Lingwu's side, both to escort His Royal Highness the King of Chu and to act as bodyguards for the "useless" Chai Lingwu.
"Is this the house?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu counted from the first house in the neighborhood, and stopped at the ninth house. "Li Zhongwen and Xiang Shanzhi live in this house. Um... He Mingshan, you and Yuwen Qing go to the house next door and guard it. Wait for me to deal with these two first, and then deal with Qiu Shili and He Panren!"
"Yes!" Following the order from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Yuwen Qing and He Mingshan immediately changed direction and went to wait next door.
"Let's charge!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Yuwen Qing and He Mingshan were ready, he did not hesitate any longer and kicked open the door of the house in front of him: "Kill them for me!"
"Kill!" Compared to his taciturn elder brother Chai Zhewei, Chai Lingwu may have the advantage of being a member of the "atmosphere group" and being more capable than the former.
But somehow, when he shouted and rushed forward with his cousin...
After a few steps, he hit a wall.
"I...knock!" Chai Lingwu rubbed his sore nose and cursed: "Who is the blind one..."
"Lingwu, shut up!" Suddenly, Chai Zhewei, who had stopped walking at some point, turned around and yelled at his brother.
"Brother..." Chai Lingwu was about to argue when he heard this, but suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"You evil creature! Who told you to come here?!" - The Prince Consort Chai Shao was in the courtyard at this moment.
"Sichang, don't get angry so quickly. Who did Zhewei and Lingwu come with... We all know it, right, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?" - In the small courtyard, Chai Shao, wearing armor and covered in blood, was holding a long sword, with two corpses under his feet.
On the other side of the courtyard, Hong San and Dou Shilun stood side by side, with a corpse lying at their feet.
The four corpses were pierced with varying numbers of arrows, and it was obvious that they had died in a miserable way.
"Gulp..." Realizing that things were not going well today, His Royal Highness the King of Chu swallowed his saliva. He wanted to escape...
"Is your highness the Prince of Chu going to 'run away when the wind is strong'?" - His Majesty Li Er, who was also wearing armor and holding a large bow, looked at his stunned son with a half-smile in his eyes as he spoke: "You little bastard... didn't expect it? Dad acted... faster than you..."
