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

"You are still here to make plans, right?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at his Tiger Chi unhappily, and then said to Wang Xuance beside him: "Xuance, have someone bring Miao Manqing over."

"only."

Not long after, Miao Manqing, who had been living in fear in his room all day, fearing that he would die someday, stood timidly in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here." The one who was responsible for escorting Miao Manqing was a small bandit leader who was subdued by Yuwen Qing himself. At this moment, he was looking at His Royal Highness the King of Chu with a flattering face, trying to get praise.

“Brother Miao!” Wang Pan was immediately excited when he saw Miao Manqing, who had been keeping his head down since he entered the room. “Why aren’t you dead yet?!”

"..." If Miao Manqing didn't feel that the occasion was not right, he really wanted to give this "elegant and easy-going" colleague in front of him a beating.

But right now...

He is not free...

In order to save his own life, Miao Manqing kept his eyes on his feet from beginning to end.

"What do you mean?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu first glanced at Wang Pan, then while pointing his finger at Wang Pan, he turned around and asked his military advisor.

"One is a true expression of feelings between colleagues." Facing the doubts of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Wang Xuance just smiled: "As for the other one... I'm afraid he is just trying to cover up his own mistakes and deceiving himself..."

"..." After hearing what Wang Xuance said, Miao Manqing's body trembled slightly, and then he knelt down in panic: "Your humble servant Miao Manqing pays homage to His Majesty the King of Chu!"

"How old are you? How many people are there in your family? Why are you suddenly doing this?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not expect that after Miao Manqing saluted him, he would continue to lower his head like a little girl, so he simply did a set of "three intimate questions".

“Your Highness…” Miao Manqing was confused by the question from His Highness the King of Chu: “I… am forty-two years old this year, and my family…”

"So it's the age of old age," His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head and said, "Okay, don't pretend with me. You definitely don't have sick parents and a blind, lame, and stupid brother who can't find a wife.

But then again, if you were really that honest, you wouldn't have gotten involved with Wang Dayong... Oh, and you—" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, stretching out his hand and pointing at Wang Pan, whose face had turned pale at this moment: "When Wang Dayong is questioned and imprisoned, neither of you will be able to escape."

“Your Highness, we are also forced to do this…” Wang Pan now knew that he could no longer care about the personal grudges with Miao Manqing. He immediately knelt on the ground like Miao Manqing and said, “I dare to ask you to give me a way to live. As long as you are willing, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even if I have to die!”

“Get lost!” As soon as Wang Pan finished speaking, Yuwen Qing couldn’t stand the loneliness anymore and started to show his talent: “Who do you think you are? It’s your turn to risk your life for His Highness? And, you bastard, just to survive for a while, you threatened to die ten thousand times for His Highness - how bizarre... You are not happy to die once, but you are willing to die ten thousand times. Do you think My Highness is stupid?!”

"I..." Wang Pan realized at this moment what "great wisdom appears foolish" really meant - as smart as he was, for the first time in his life, he was defeated in a verbal battle by a crude warrior who seemed to know nothing.

“Wow…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu was also shocked by Yuwen Qing’s magnificent performance. He looked at Yuwen Qing with admiration and said to Wang Xuance, Zhang Zhenxuan, Jiang Sheng, Shan Tianchang, and Xiong Wushuang standing on his left and right: “Do you think Yuwen Qing might be a great scholar?”

As new members who had just joined the team, Shan Tianchang and Xiong Wushuang could only respond with silly smiles when faced with the tricky question from His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Cough cough..." Perhaps fearing that the two would feel embarrassed, Zhang Zhenxuan, the worshipper, coughed twice and did not speak.

He had already given enough face to the King of Chu, and at the same time took into account the embarrassing situation of Shan Tianchang and Xiong Wushuang.

"Your Highness..." Seeing this, Jiang Sheng, who was originally standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, suddenly said, "My family education does not allow me to say such harsh words."

"You just can't withstand a beating from Lord Jiang," His Royal Highness the King of Chu curled his lips when he heard this, and then looked at Wang Xuance expectantly.

"Your Highness, I don't like to tell the truth..." Wang Xuance believed from the bottom of his heart that His Highness the King of Chu was now on the path of harming others and had reached the point where "a single peak standing high above all the other mountains" .

Experts are lonely, that's all.

"Your Highness, they are just jealous of my wisdom." Feeling that his talent was finally noticed by His Highness, Yuwen Qing actually had the urge to cry: "Your Highness, I feel so bitter..."

"Then you just have to suffer." After casually teasing Yuwen Qing, His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood up from his seat and slowly walked in front of Miao Manqing and Wang Pan.

Miao and Wang, who were kneeling on the ground at this moment, felt that the footsteps of His Royal Highness the King of Chu were like a death knell in their hearts.

"Are you afraid of death?" After His Royal Highness the King of Chu stood in front of the two, he first rubbed his eyes casually, and then yawned: "Haha~~ Speaking of which, as Wang Dayong's confidants, many of his things have never been concealed from you, so this king is now asking you a very practical question - based on the crimes Wang Dayong has committed, are they enough for him to die ten thousand times?"

“Enough! Enough!” As soon as His Royal Highness Prince Chu finished speaking, Wang Pan was like Sun Wukong who was hit on the head three times by Patriarch Bodhi. However, under the influence of the desire to survive, he reacted very quickly: “Your Highness, the crimes committed by Wang Dayong are enough for him to die ten thousand times!”

"Well then," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this. "Earlier, Miao Manqing said that he would risk his life for me and would do anything for me. Yuwen Qing has just answered this request for me, so I will give you another chance now. If you can collect the evidence of Wang Dayong's crimes and hand it over to me..."

His Royal Highness the King of Chu stopped talking at this point.

"Your Highness, I understand." Wang Pan was a smart man: "I will do as you say..."

"Your Highness...if the two of us hand over the evidence to you, can you really..." Miao Manqing was also full of hope for the future at this moment.

But the answer from His Royal Highness the King of Chu made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "What crime you two should be sentenced to is the court's business. What I can do is to ensure that you two and your family will have enough food and clothing. By the way, remember to take the initiative to hand over the money you got from Wang Dayong. Don't have any other thoughts."
