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

"Xuan Ce... don't you know me yet?" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Wang Xuance had started to interact with him again, he immediately stopped pretending and said directly: "I always plan before I act..."

"Brother Kuan... we are all family here... why are you doing this..." Li Huairen obviously couldn't stand it any longer: "If you can plan before you act... would I have suffered so much following you all these years?"

"Xuan Ce, wait a minute. Let me deal with this new guy first." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was not going to pamper this kid Li Huairen.

"Hey! Brother Kuan! You and I are brothers! We are close friends!" Seeing that the boss was serious, Li Huairen immediately raised his hand to show his surrender: "I just spoke my mind at the moment... You don't have to... Ouch..."

“Don’t try to be pretentious with me, kid!” His Royal Highness the King of Chu locked Li Huairen’s neck with one hand and dragged him to his position. “You will be the king of our Hutou Mountain in a moment, and I will be your bodyguard. I want to see what Wang Dayong wants to do!”

"Brother Kuan..." Although Li Huairen had not read many books, he knew a few historical allusions: "For things like this... Emperor Wu of Han did this and he pioneered the precedent of 'great talent and strategy, not caring about trivial matters', but if it were you... then it would be a bit like imitating others..."

"You have really learned something from Master Huang." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu slapped him with a chestnut. "But stop talking to me about these nonsense now. I just want to know what Wang Dayong wants to do. The imperial army to suppress the bandits is about to arrive, and he actually sent a generous gift to me, the newly promoted bandit leader, saying that he wants to recruit him. Is that necessary?"

"Your Highness, are you planning to test the other party's attitude?" Wang Xuance felt relieved when he saw that His Highness the King of Chu had the same idea as him.

His Highness... does have some extraordinary wisdom, but it is just that no one can see it under normal circumstances...

"It's not just a simple matter of testing the waters," His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "Xingzhou is an upper prefecture. As for the killing of the official, even if Wang Dayong reported it in time afterwards, he would still be held responsible. But my father, for the first time, did not pursue the matter, and Wei Zheng did not take the initiative to impeach Wang Dayong. This matter is worth pondering..."

"Your Highness, we don't need to get so involved..." When Wang Xuance heard His Highness the King of Chu say this, he immediately felt something was wrong.

“Xuan Ce, don’t think too much.” When His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Wang Xuance’s worried expression, he immediately smiled and said, “I just suddenly remembered these things and mentioned them to you casually. You don’t have to take it to heart.”

"Brother Kuan, what about me?" Li Huairen was still being held under the armpit by his boss: "You haven't showered in a few days... Ouch!"

"Be honest!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu gave another slap in the face: "When you meet the people sent by Wang Dayong later, you will know how to deal with them, right?"

"I know," Li Huairen said unhappily, "Aren't you and I familiar with each other? Don't worry, I can definitely act well, and I will even be more restrained..."

"Why are you pretending to be me?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu now really understood the saying "If you don't know how to lead a gang, you will only tire yourself to death". He suddenly took a deep breath, and then patiently said slowly: "Huairen, to be a boss... you have to have your own style..."

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

"My name is Miao Manqing, nice to meet you, General Hutou!" - When Miao Manqing, one of Wang Dayong's confidants, stood in the hall of the stronghold on Yangshou Mountain and saluted Li Huairen who was sitting at the seat at the top, the first person he noticed was not Wang Xuance and Zhang Zhenxuan standing on both sides of him. His eyes unconsciously looked at Li Kuan who was standing next to Li Huairen and peeling pears for him.

"What the hell are you looking at?" Li Huairen saw that Miao Manqing had noticed his "sword-carrying bodyguard" at once, and immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Fuck, why would Wang Dayong send a sly guy like you? Doesn't he have anyone under his command?!"

“Don’t blame me, Boss…” Miao Manqing was scolded by Li Huairen, but he still kept smiling: “I just think this little brother is very handsome…”

His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly paused while peeling the pear: "Sir, please don't praise me. If my family had not been poor when I was young and I had not been unable to go to school, I would not have been so up and down all the way and finally became a bandit in the mountains..."

When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu finished speaking, there was a deep sense of sadness in his tone.

Li Huairen, who was sitting in the commander's seat, quietly put his hands together and pinched his palms: There's nothing he can do, he hasn't received any professional training, and what Kuan said is so funny...

"Little brother, it is not a shame to be born in a humble family," Miao Manqing felt that he was really lucky today, "there is no need to be so disappointed."

"I'm not disappointed," His Royal Highness the King of Chu sniffed and continued to peel the pears. "Since I met the boss, the hard days in the past are far away from me. Moreover, now that the boss has taken us to settle down in Taihang Mountain, the days to come will definitely be better and better. I can drink big bowls of wine and eat big chunks of meat. Hehe... I am better than a god!"

"Little brother, you are wrong!" Miao Manqing saw that he finally had the opportunity to make use of the topic, so he naturally would not let it go: "You know, the imperial court's anti-bandit army is about to arrive, and the one leading the army, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, is a true young hero and a peerless hero. The bandits in Taihang Mountain are destined to face a catastrophe..."

"What?!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu stopped peeling the pear again, and handed the pear in his hand to Li Huairen, who was silent because of shock: "Boss, you have to make the decision on this matter!"

"Crack." Li Huairen felt that he was getting better now. He could actually eat the pear peeled by Kuan Ge'er himself. "Why are you panicking? That so-called King of Chu is not a man with three heads and six arms. Hey... If he dares to come, Wang Ce, warm up the wine for me. I will kill him before the wine gets cold!"

"..." Wang Xuance, who had changed his name to 'Wang Ce', finally understood why Li Huairen was irreplaceable to the head of the family. This kid really got into the role and dared to act...

It’s just that the “acting career” may be a little short.

"Wang Ce, what are you doing?!" Li Huairen took another bite of the pear, then threw the unfinished pear away: "Damn, this pear is so disgusting!"

"Master, these are last year's pears. They have been stored in the cellar for half a year. This is how they taste." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was already thinking about how to deal with this pear: "It's normal that you are not used to it..." (Note 1)
