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

After leaving the Honglu Temple, Li Kuan had no plans to return to the palace. He just walked aimlessly in Chang'an City like a wandering soul.

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu? If you keep wandering around like this, the young ladies on the roadside will block your way." - Just as His Highness the Prince of Chu was thinking about whether to go to Master Yu's residence to talk to Master Yu about his troubles, a strange voice sounded in his ears.

"Hmm?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice. He found a young Taoist priest about twenty years old, wearing a black Taoist robe and a white jade crown on his head, who was looking at him contentedly.

"Who are you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the handsome young Taoist who almost caught up with him, and his expression revealed confusion: "How do you know me?"

“Apart from Your Majesty the Prince of Chu, is there anyone else in Chang’an who is more handsome than me?” The young man was also a wonderful person. While answering, he did not forget to perform a door salute to Your Majesty the Prince of Chu.

"Zhang Zhenxuan?" As His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the elegant Taoist priest, the image of the ordinary old face of Master Zhang, with white hair and a youthful appearance, suddenly flashed through his mind.

Hmm... maybe a golden phoenix really flew out of that nest...

"Your Highness has a keen eye!" The young Taoist was stunned at first, then he smiled and said, "No wonder my great-grandfather said that Your Highness is unfathomable. It seems that his vision is still as good as ever."

"Master Zhang said that this king is unfathomable. That refers to the king's moral bottom line!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "But you came pretty fast."

"Ah! What are you talking about, Master?" Zhang Zhenxuan had come to Li Kuan at this time. He looked a little bit mischievous and said, "My petty great-grandfather was afraid that you would use the Nine-section Staff as a dog-beating stick, so he forced me to travel day and night to be by your side and serve you."

"The Nine-Section Staff is in the Jade Mountain Villa. Go back and ask Jiang Qu, and I'll ask him to keep it for you." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu touched his chin again, then looked at Zhang Zhenxuan and said, "I heard that you know thunder magic?"

"That was an exaggeration by my great-grandfather. I was just concentrating on practicing Taoism." Faced with the patriarch's behavior of trying to find out the truth right from the start, Zhang Zhenxuan's attitude was extremely dishonest.

"Then..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu pretended to be a little embarrassed: "What use do I have for you?"

"Your Highness, you can't say that..." Zhang Zhenxuan was actually much taller than His Highness the Prince of Chu, but this guy inexplicably gave His Highness the feeling that he had grown so tall for nothing - he was hunched over at the moment, with a somewhat miserable expression as he said, "My Zhang family has always been loyal to the Dou family since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. You can't abandon this deep friendship just because I'm just a freeloader, right?"

"But I don't keep idle people under my command..." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu found out that Zhang Zhenxuan was a fun person on the same wavelength as him, his desire to perform also came up at this moment: "Zhenxuan...you are making it very difficult for me to deal with this..."

"Master, why is it so difficult?" Zhang Zhenxuan asked immediately after hearing this.

"You know, if you don't have the ability, most of my retainers won't obey you..."

"Your Highness, whoever is dissatisfied can come to me, can't you just ask them to come and see me?" Zhang Zhenxuan thought this was a simple matter: "I actually know how to convince people with reason."

"Can you turn beans into soldiers?" Seeing that this guy was unmoved, His Royal Highness the King of Chu decided to take the initiative.

"That minister can't..." Zhang Zhenxuan scratched his head, and then said: "But my great-grandfather said that you might be able to do this trick...but I don't believe it."

"...You're right not to believe it!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that the realization he felt when he first met Master Zhang was not an illusion at all - this old man actually knew his trump card!

Wow……

It seems that not all high-level cultivators in this sect are as half-baked as my Gangzi...

"Your Highness, where are we going now?" Zhang Zhenxuan was obviously a man of good sense. Seeing that His Highness the King of Chu was unwilling to dwell on such matters, he quickly changed the subject: "How about you accompany me to Yushan Villa?"

"What are you doing? Do I have to introduce you personally?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that the young man in front of him was somewhat confused about the situation.

"Your Highness, that's not what I meant..." Zhang Zhenxuan pursed his lips after hearing this: "You don't know... He Weng has loved bullying me since I was a child..."

"Ah?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was stunned when he heard this: "You, the Zhang family, are so unpopular with that big yellow crane?"

"Your Highness, that is Crane!" Zhang Zhenxuan's eyes widened upon hearing this: "It is the only fairy bird in the world!"

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he really did need to talk too much nonsense sometimes: "You... OK... It's just right, I also want to go out of the city to relax..."

A moment later, at Chai Shao's mansion.

"Cousin..." Brothers Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu were so touched when they learned today that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu came to visit them: "I never thought that you would ignore your injuries and come to see us... As expected, you, my brother and I are the best in the world! But who is this?" Chai Lingwu said, casting his gaze on Zhang Zhenxuan beside Li Kuan.

"Oh, this Taoist priest is my new retainer, his name is Zhang Zhenxuan." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave Zhang Zhenxuan a look.

"My two young masters, I am Zhang Zhenxuan." Zhang Zhenxuan bowed to the Chai brothers at the right time.

"You're welcome, Taoist priest..." Chai Zhewei and his brother returned the greeting, and then he looked at Li Kuan: "Brother Kuan, you don't have to be so stubborn. I still have some healing medicine in my room..."

"My two cousins, please hold back..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu, who were struggling to walk, and said with some disdain, "I didn't get beaten. I came here to borrow a horse. I plan to go to Yushan and stay there for a few days."

"Cousin, do your uncle and aunt know about this?" When Chai Zhewei heard that his cousin was not beaten, his expression suddenly became serious: "Did you have a fight with your uncle?"

"No," His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked when he heard this, "The tyrant king should know to avoid my edge now."

"My cousin..." Chai Zhewei realized that the situation was serious. "You failed in your rebellion and are planning to flee, right? Then you should listen to your cousin and hide in the Chai Mansion. I will ask my father to plead for you later."

“Cousin Zhewei…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment, then slowly said, “Originally, I thought that only Cousin Lingwu was a little crazy… But now I find out… Cousin Zhewei, you are the same… It’s just that you hid it more deeply before…”

"It's already this late! You're still in the mood to joke!" Chai Lingwu felt that what his eldest brother said made sense: "Cousin, really, don't be afraid of causing trouble for us. After all, we two brothers are our mother's only flesh and blood. Can uncle really beat us to death?!"
