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

"Foster father, my father died at the hands of Li Shimin. As his son, I surrendered to the son of my enemy..." Shan Tianchang's expression gradually became painful at this moment: "How can I face my father in the future..."

"Although I am your father's sworn brother, to be honest... your father is... sometimes not smart enough, or too smart. His death... the main reason lies with himself, and has nothing to do with others." Xie Yingdeng said as he walked closer to Shan Tianchang. He looked at his adopted son who lowered his head and said nothing. The old man stretched out his hand and placed it on his shoulder: "Tianchang, right and wrong are all determined. You have your own difficulties, and your adopted father understands, but you have to think clearly. What you are shouldering now is not just your duty to avenge your father.

The 30,000 people under your command are the accumulation of our father and son's painstaking efforts over the years. If you let them all be destroyed because of your personal obsession...is it worth it?"

"Godfather..." Shan Tianchang trembled slightly when he heard this: "I understand all these principles..."

"Make a decision as soon as possible..." Seeing that Shan Tianchang was still hesitating after he had said this, Xie Yingdeng couldn't help but sighed: "Tianchang, you are much better than your father..."

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

"Zhenxuan, are you really okay?" - When Shan Tianchang was in a painful decision, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also in a dilemma: "Zhenxuan... do you think I should practice thunder magic with you... or practice flying swords?"

"Your Highness... don't even think about it. You can't achieve either of these..." In the early morning, Zhang Zhenxuan opened the door and saw His Highness the Prince of Chu sleeping on the floor in front of his door. He was shocked and moved, but when His Highness the Prince of Chu told him about his troubles, Zhang Zhenxuan knew that trouble was coming: "Don't look at me like that... It's not that I'm stingy..."

“Zhenxuan, is it possible that this thing has some strict training conditions? Ah... Don’t worry about this, I have outstanding talent, and even if it is a boy’s skill, I have it…” - To be honest, the perseverance shown by His Royal Highness the King of Chu in certain things is still worth learning from.

"Your Highness, you... I..." Zhang Zhenxuan felt that he was being held back by the patriarch, but he finally chose to tell him the truth about his suffering: "Your Highness, I'll give you an analogy... Never mind... I'll be more straightforward - Your Highness, the archery skills you showed yesterday are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Then I want to ask you, why were you able to judge the landing points of the five arrows - even in the end, you even predicted in advance that you would shoot and kill the person who blocked the arrow for the sick tiger, isn't this also a realm that can be called Tongxuan?"

“What is the realm of Tongxuan…” Upon hearing what Zhang Zhenxuan said, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu waved his hand nonchalantly: “For me, that thing is just drawing the bow, putting the arrow on the bowstring, and releasing the arrow. The moment the arrow leaves the bowstring, the image of the arrow falling can appear in my mind… Alas?!” When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: “When did I acquire this ability? This… this… does it mean that I also have the potential to become a hermit master? Zhenxuan, you kid are probably worried that I will learn your magic and take away your title of Taoist genius, right? Alas… You narrow-minded guy, why do I, a genius, need to be prefixed with ‘Taoism’? You are still too narrow-minded…”

“Your Highness, please don’t rush to slander me…” Zhang Zhenxuan first replied to the idiot family master, then he thought for a moment and slowly said, “Any skill in this world, when practiced to the highest level, will always produce some strange phenomena that ordinary people find incredible. However, how to practice these skills to the highest level is determined by ‘I have been in the treasure mountain for decades, and the fate is destined’ - others cannot force it…”

"You have confused me..." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Zhang Zhenxuan talking so mysteriously, he thought about it and simply put away his leisurely interest in learning martial arts: "Forget it, forget it, I will assume that what you said makes sense, and I will not learn this magic for the time being. As for the future..."

"——As for the future, Your Highness, you will find that some things are as simple as eating and drinking for me, but as difficult as climbing a chasm for you. On the contrary, if I insist on learning archery from you, the result will be the same." Zhang Zhenxuan obviously knew what kind of person His Highness the Prince of Chu was, so in order to avoid being harassed in the future, he decisively showed his attitude: "Besides... Your Highness, it's not that I want to hurt you... You really don't have any talent for cultivation..."

“But I’m so powerful…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that Zhang Zhenxuan was just trying to fool him: “After I shoot an arrow, I can see where it will land in my mind…”

"Your Highness..." Zhang Zhenxuan didn't want to take credit for it, but he was really afraid that this old man would soon become the "little archery god of the Li family" who said, "In the past, our ancestors went west through Hangu Pass, and now I have conquered Taihang with one arrow." So after weighing it over and over again, Zhang Zhenxuan slowly told the truth: "Your Highness, do you remember that my great-grandfather told you that he had killed Zhishilang Wangbo, and in the years that followed, he inexplicably gained some magical abilities?"

"Of course I know this..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu raised his eyebrows when thinking of his meeting with the old Taoist priest. "The meeting with the old Taoist priest...how should I put it...has benefited me a lot..."

"My great-grandfather has been trying to pass on these abilities, and now... maybe there is some clue." It was not until now that Zhang Zhenxuan finally determined why his great-grandfather met with the Prince of Chu so hastily when he knew that he would never be able to see him a second time in this lifetime.

Perhaps he had thought it through by then - just like he had obtained those strange abilities by killing Zhishilang and Wang Bo, his great-grandfather was planning to leave them to the head of the family in the same way...

And judging by the current results, it seems to be working.

“No… No!” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had obviously understood what Zhang Zhenxuan meant. He was really anxious at the moment, and even unconsciously mixed a rare crying tone in his voice: “How could the old Taoist priest be so stupid?! What do I want those abilities for?! What I want is for him to live hundreds of years longer! No… I must find a way to solve the old Taoist priest’s stupid move… I can’t kill the old Taoist priest!”

"Your Highness, don't panic." Zhang Zhenxuan saw that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had started to talk nonsense, and he shook his head helplessly: "Things are not what you think..."

"What do you mean it's not what I thought! And, you obviously know the truth, so why are you telling it now?" If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Zhenxuan was injured, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would have gone up and given this guy a few beatings.

"Your Highness... Didn't I just think of this?!" Zhang Zhenxuan felt wronged when he heard this: "Besides, you really don't have to be so anxious. Maybe my great-grandfather just wanted to share this little magic with you. In fact... my great-grandfather once told me that a person who knows too many things in his life is not necessarily lucky - you see he said so, I think... maybe this is why my great-grandfather was only slightly injured in front of you..."
