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

"Your Highness, why do you insist on letting me accompany you to be a bandit in Taihang Mountain?" Wei Zheng, who didn't know that His Highness the King of Chu was going to have his father, the emperor, enthroned in the future, naturally couldn't see that His Highness the King of Chu was trying to win him over while protecting him.

"Duke Wei, life is a wilderness, Duke Wei!" - Knowing that if he spoke his true thoughts, the other party would be angry, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could only choose a roundabout strategy: "Don't you want to experience the feeling of being a bandit again? Relive the passionate years of the past?"

"Lord Wei, let me translate for you." Chai Lingwu came to Wei Zheng at some point and said to him with a smile, "Brother Kuan means that since you are here, don't leave."

"..."Wei Zheng ignored His Royal Highness the King of Chu's "bandit translation". He just looked at the little poem that was so well prepared, one after another for His Royal Highness the King of Chu. To be honest, he did not know how to refuse the other party politely.

and so……

He chose to refuse decisively and firmly.

"Your Majesty, I understand that you did not allow me to go to Xingzhou because you were worried that Wang Dayong would become desperate and commit treason against me. However, I am receiving a salary from the court, so I must be responsible to the court and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty. Although the situation is grim now, if I retreat, I will be sorry for Your Majesty who has great expectations of me this time, and I will be ashamed to face the people of Xingzhou who have been bullied by Wang Dayong over the years..."

"Wait a minute," His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly realized a problem at this moment. He first glanced at Shan Tianchang who was standing next to Li Huairen, and then said to Wei Zheng: "There is something wrong with Wang Dayong. My father actually knew about this a long time ago?"

"..." As soon as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, Wei Zheng immediately understood why the retired emperor had held up a belt in the Taiji Hall and forced his son to write a letter to his grandson on the day he set out.

Ok……

I'd better tell the truth about this matter: "Your Highness, after you left Chang'an, a few days later, His Majesty suddenly sent someone to call me to the palace, and then wrote this letter to you in front of the emperor, and then told me to go to Xingzhou to investigate Wang Dayong and give you the letter. But on the way, I received a message from Dou Shilun, saying that you have become the king of the Taihang Mountains. If I want to deliver the letter, I have to go here..."

“Uncle Dou…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn’t know what to say: “He’s still so worried about me…”

Then there was another moment of silence.

"Duke Wei, are you really going to leave?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that he couldn't stop the other party, so he simply made a "please" gesture to the other party: "Okay, to show my sincerity, I will personally send you down the mountain."

"I dare not trouble Your Highness." Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng bowed slightly and saluted to His Highness the King of Chu: "I will leave on my own."

"There is a tiger on this mountain." Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to threaten Wei Zheng.

"I did not come here empty-handed." Wei Zheng said, and patted the sword at his waist.

"That tiger is a very good archer." His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to openly express his overbearing love for Duke Wei as the king of the mountain: "So I plan to send some people to escort you down the mountain, and then go to Xingzhou with you. What do you think?"

"..." Wei Zheng looked at the "tiger" in front of him who was very good at archery. He once again felt the kingly demeanor that was different from the open-mindedness of His Majesty Li Er, but also had a different taste: "Then I... thank His Majesty the King of Chu for this."

"Alas! Duke Wei is in a serious condition." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hands, and then he picked and chose among his brothers and found two "reliable" ones: "Huairen, Chumo, you two will follow Duke Wei to Xingzhou this time and have some good experience with him."

"Yes!" Li Huairen and Cheng Chumo immediately accepted the order respectfully.

"Your Highness, you just said that this trip to Xingzhou is full of dangers..." When Wei Zheng heard that His Highness the King of Chu wanted to hand Li Huairen and Cheng Chumo over to him, he immediately became anxious: "This is absolutely not allowed!"

"It's alright," His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand nonchalantly after hearing this: "Duke Wei, you... forget it... when you come back, you will understand why I am so confident."

"This..." Wei Zheng tried to persuade him again after hearing this.

"Duke Wei," Li Huairen, who was watching this, suddenly clasped his fists and bowed to Wei Zheng, "Don't worry, I will follow you to Xingzhou this time, and I will follow your instructions and will not do anything rash. In addition, Kuan Ge'er just gave an order, not to discuss with you, so please don't try to persuade him to change his decision."

"Uncle Wei..." Cheng Chumo was usually afraid of Wei Zheng, but at this moment he mustered up the courage to speak: "Don't worry, since Brother Kuan is sure, it means that the people he gave you can definitely protect our safety - although Brother Kuan always looks nonchalant, he will not joke about this kind of thing."

"Look," His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his chin proudly upon hearing this, and said to Wei Zheng proudly, "You bunch of treacherous ministers and my father, the tyrant, complement each other and get along just fine, but I and my brothers are destined to be different from you."

"..." What else could Wei Zheng say? If he continued, he would only be embarrassing himself.

So, after a brief stay at Yangshou Mountain for half a day, Wei Zheng took Li Huairen and Cheng Chumo down the mountain.

"Brother Kuan, why did you insist on choosing Huairen and Chumo instead of me and Brother Yong?" At the time of farewell, Fang Yiai came to the side of His Royal Highness the King of Chu at some point, pointed at the three people who were gradually becoming insignificant on the distant mountain road, and said to the King of Chu: "I think Brother Yong and I are better at fighting..."

"It has nothing to do with whether he can fight or not," His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this, and then he stretched out his hand, patted the other person's shoulder, and then slowly told the truth: "Huairen needs to make some achievements in order to let his biased father understand that his seemingly incompetent little son is actually very promising. As for Chumo... just think of him as someone who is just there to make up the numbers..."

"Then why can't it be me... I can make up the numbers..." Fang Yiai was a little dissatisfied when he heard it: "Brother Kuan, I am also your good brother, you can't be partial to me..."

"You know nothing..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu slapped the other person with a slap on the face: "Go back and practice your horse lance! I want to see you make progress in the evening, otherwise I will beat you up!"

"Oh..." Fang Yiai sighed silently after hearing this: How hateful... I obviously came here to make achievements...

Sigh... I don't know if Gao Yang will laugh at me for boasting when she sees me who has done nothing after I go back...

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Fang Yiai's embarrassed look, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did you wet the bed again?"

"Hey! Brother Kuan!" Fang Yiai found that this boss was really presumptuous: "That's not the case! I just got up in the middle of the night to drink water and accidentally knocked over the teacup..."

"Oh, then you have a strong taste for tea."

"..." Fang Yiai saw that he couldn't win the argument, and he didn't have the courage to fight... So he simply gave up and told Li Kuan the truth: "Before I left this time, I promised Gao Yang that I would make a contribution, but Gao Yang... Gao Yang said that as long as I can guarantee your safety at the critical moment, I will have made a contribution. Although this is true... But I always feel uncomfortable listening to it..."

"Gao Yang, that girl..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu smiled upon hearing this: "She is just like that. She said she wanted you to protect me, but think about it yourself - what kind of skills do I have? Do I need your protection? On the contrary, it is safest for you to stay by my side..."
