"Hmm!" After a long silence, seeing that Cui Qi had not given any further information, Yuwen Qing, who was standing next to Wang Xuance, simply spoke up: "You give us an estimate of the price of this immortal guest, and we will buy it!"

“This…” As the manager of the Qinghe Cui family, Cui Qi had naturally seen a lot of the world and knew how to please this group of bandits: “Then… ten strings of money?” - Anyway, when he came today, the elders of the clan had secretly told him that as long as the matter could be settled peacefully, the restaurant would give it away, even if it cost tens of thousands of strings of money.

That's the King of Chu...

Although there is an old saying: "The devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher", what can the King of Chu do... The King of Chu was confused!

"What do you mean, kid? Are you trying to ruin my highness's reputation in disguise?!" Seeing Cui Qi being so rude, Yuwen Qing glared at him fiercely before saying, "I've already asked someone about this before. A restaurant like this only costs two or three thousand strings of cash. So, I'll give you five thousand. Come and count it yourself. Remember to sign the deed when you're done. We'll have to go to the government to sign it later."

“I dare not… How dare we take advantage of His Royal Highness the King of Chu…” Upon hearing this, Cui Qi said with a bitter face: “If the elders and the head of the family find out about this, I’m afraid I will have to be punished by the family…”

"Then this is your business, and has nothing to do with us." Wang Xuance smiled upon hearing this, and then teased Yuwen Qing: "Brother Yuwen, you are now stable and you even know that a contract is required for a sale."

"Of course." Yuwen Qing chuckled when he heard this: "I really benefited a lot from the last incident with Duke Geng..."

-------------------------------------

Outside the palace, His Royal Highness the King of Chu's retainers bought the restaurant as per his instructions.

At the same time, in the palace, on the wide imperial road, Prince of Yan Li You was following closely behind his second brother who was about to leave the palace, saying that he wanted to contribute to his actions today: "Second brother, trust me, I know where my uncle's inner treasury is, so it won't be a loss if you take me with you this time..."

“Xiao Wu…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu found that he seemed to be responsible for his brothers’ “collective unconventional behavior”, so he stopped immediately and looked at his brother who had come close to him. He said helplessly, “Although I am very touched by your help to my second brother, Xiao Wu, he is your uncle after all…”

"Second brother..." Li You felt that the person who had the least right to say this was his good second brother in front of him: "You were near here last time and captured Changsun Anye--"

"Stop it." Before his brother could finish his words, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu covered his mouth with his hand. "Let me ask you, why do you have to join in the fun? I was very happy that you spoke up for my brother in front of your mother. But listen to me, don't get involved in today's matter..."

“Second brother, how can you say that?! We are brothers!” Li You slapped his hand away after hearing his brother’s words, and then said angrily: “There are some things I don’t want to say... My uncle... has been nagging me for a long time, saying that you, second brother, have become a big shot since the Jinshan Heaven Offering Ceremony, so eldest brother will definitely have a conflict with you in the future, so he plans to recruit people for me first, so that I can learn from that person in the future... Humph!

Does he really think I'm stupid?!

He just used my life and my mother's life to gamble for what he thought was a bright future!" Li You's eyes gradually turned red when he said this: "Second brother, when you were not in Chang'an before, I could not tell you these things. After you came back, you were entangled with all kinds of things, and my uncle never mentioned it again, so I just assumed that he recognized the facts and no longer had any illusions.

But who would have thought... he actually..." Li You said this, his expression suddenly became extremely frightened: "Second brother, I'm afraid that my uncle is still acting in secret and winning over people for me, but I don't have such plans at all! You say... if something goes wrong in the future, he will put the blame on me, won't I be in big trouble? And my mother..."

At the end of his speech, Li You even began to wipe away tears.

"Didn't you reject him at that time?" Li Kuan looked at his crying brother, and his heart suddenly became angry: Damn it, this bastard Yin Hongzhi has always been holding a grudge against their Li family.

"Of course I refused!" Li You was so anxious that his face turned red when he heard this: "But my uncle agreed to it verbally at the time, saying that he was worrying too much, but who knew that he was secretly involved with Prince Consort Dou..."

"Xiao Wu, do you know that by telling your second brother about this, it is equivalent to handing your life and property into his hands?" Li Kuan looked at his younger brother who was just as tall as his chest, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Brother, I don't believe you will hurt me." Hearing what his brother said, Li You replied calmly: "My third brother told me in private that as long as you love to bully us brothers, it means that no matter what happens in the future, you will not abandon us!"

"..." His Highness the Prince of Chu had never expected that the Third Brother had contributed to this matter: "Okay... since your Third Brother has told you the truth..."

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu reached out and patted his brother's head: "Remember, you have never discussed the topic of recruiting soldiers with your cheap uncle. If anyone asks about it in the future, you can say that this matter is completely fabricated - you have always been a follower of your second brother, and you have never considered starting your own business. Do you understand?"

"Ah?!" When Li You is not addicted to fishing, his IQ is actually online: "Second brother...then...will I hurt you?"

"It's okay. Your second brother can eliminate this little cause and effect in an instant, so it's not a big deal." After saying this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stretched out his hand and pinched his brother's cheek: "But you kid, remember, you must remember everything in the future. When you encounter this kind of bastard who instigates you to rebel, you must tell our father or eldest brother the matter as soon as possible. Of course, you can also tell your second brother.

In short, don't let yourself fall into a passive position because of this momentary negligence, understand? "His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that in terms of teaching his younger brother, his idiotic father and his foolish elder brother, the two together, could not match half of his own.

This is also true.

"Brother, I understand." Li You looked at his brother who was so reliable at the critical moment, nodded heavily at first, and then corrected himself consciously: "But brother... you are always an exception!"
