"Brother Kuan, this is a bit too much..." Although Fang Yiai was a loyal younger brother of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he still didn't like his boss committing the sin of arrogance at this time.

"You will understand in the future." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not angry when he heard this, and even stretched casually: "Jiang Sheng, you continue to talk about yours."

"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Sheng nodded upon hearing this. He was silent for a moment, and after he had sorted out his thoughts, he slowly spoke: "Speaking of which, this person... has a very important position among the Dou family's retainers. The current head of the Hebei Dou family, Dou Wei, is of the same generation as this Dou Du (commonly known as 'Du') Dou Aweng."

"Wow..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu no longer needed Jiang Sheng to continue: "Okay, okay, stop talking, I remember who this old man is!"

Back then... His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was still young. One evening, he and his grandmother were strolling in the back garden after dinner. When they passed by the pond, they happened to see an old man squatting on the steps, bending over to wash winter dates. He was greedy, so he ran over to ask for some. Who knew...

The old man looked at him and chuckled, then tilted his head back and swallowed the winter dates he had picked whole into his mouth, and then ate them heartily under the heartbroken gaze of His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

This strange old man doesn't tolerate the little boy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, at all.

But His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was really impressed by him because of this.

And... speaking of which, the reason why His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is so good at using idioms now is actually somewhat related to this incident - because the Royal Grandmother later taught him the first idiom in his life, which is "囫盵吞肖".

“Zao Aweng…” His Royal Highness the King of Chu murmured the name he had given Dou Du, and his expression became gentle: “This stinky old man… Calculating the time, I haven’t seen him for nearly ten years…”

“Your Highness…” Jiang Sheng had not expected that His Highness the King of Chu could still remember this person. “Although I don’t like to gossip about others behind their backs, but… the messenger said that Dou Du was planning to kill Wei Zheng… He felt that Dou Gong’s performance in Mount Li was too weak and not enough to intimidate someone who was not good to you… Your Highness? Huh?! Your Highness!”

"-- If you have anything to say, just wait until I come back!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really scared at this moment--he had a deep understanding of Zao Aweng's character of always keeping his word. Although Zao Aweng did not stay in Longyou for a long time, as long as he returned to Longyou, he would definitely bring whatever gift he promised to give to Li Kuan last time--the most exaggerated time was when he asked for a tiger, but the old man thought that tigers were "not rare enough", so he turned around and brought him a little white lion brought from outside the territory.

Later, because Empress Taimu felt that lions were too dangerous, she only let the white lion play with Li Kuan for a few days and then ordered people to send it away.

Because of this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had a little quarrel with his grandmother - but when his grandmother took out the fragrant beef jerky, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who was a little foodie, immediately forgot about his "second-hand lion" and turned around and ran into his grandmother's arms...

"Brother Kuan, why are you in such a hurry?" The mountain wind was fierce, and Hou Yun's shout did not go far before it was blown away by the wind: "Take me with you!"

"It's too late!" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu replied, he had already run a long distance away: "Xuan Ce, you are responsible for staying behind in Yangshou Mountain. As for the rest of the people, except Yuwen Qing and Jiang Sheng, no one is allowed to follow!"

"Obviously, Brother Kuan is targeting us..." Fang Yiai looked at the figure of the King of Chu who was gradually going away, and his expression was a little sad: "It seems... that 'Zao Aweng' is someone that Brother Kuan values ​​very much..."

"Then let's not cause him any more trouble." Hou Yun said, glancing at Fang Yiai beside him. "You keep an eye on Huaiyu and the others, and I'll be responsible for keeping an eye on Lingwu."

"Okay." Fang Yiai stretched out his hand and high-fived Hou Yun, and the two smiled at each other.

Xingzhou City, outside the prefect’s mansion.

"Uncle Wei, we've been through a lot today. We've arrived at the governor's mansion, but no one has come out to greet us..." Cheng Chumo, who was wearing a bright armor and a fiery red cape on his shoulders, felt that he could even fight Kuan Ge'er: "After we go in, Uncle Wei, you look at me... well... I'll act according to your expression. If you raise your eyebrows, I'll draw my knife and chop you down!"

"Right, right, right! Cut, cut, cut!" The equally showy Li Huairen beside him nodded vigorously at this time: "We are Kuan Ge'er's brothers, so just go ahead! We can't embarrass him!"

"..." At this moment, Zhang Baoxiang, who was originally full of anger, no longer cared about the personal grudge between him and Zhou Ling. He looked at the leader Wei Zheng worriedly: "Duke Wei... the situation is not good..."

"I'll go in with you later." Wei Zheng only said this to Zhang Baoxiang after hearing this. He then turned his attention to the two funny guys who were doing various postures to warm up: "You two, stay outside. If you hear fighting inside later, just take the people and leave first. Remember, you two are absolutely not allowed to break in without permission. Do you understand?!"

"Ah? Uncle Wei, they dare to touch you?!" Hearing this, Li Huairen drew out the sword from his waist: "This is outrageous! What's the difference between this and spanking my brother Kuan?!"

"That's right!" Cheng Chumo also drew out his knife: "Only His Majesty, the Emperor Emeritus, and the Empress can spank my brother Kuan'er's butt! Who else dares to spank him?!"

"There is still a difference..." Wei Zheng first replied to Li Huairen with a dark face, and then commented on Cheng Chumo: "As expected of Cheng Chumo's son, what he said is really right."

"Lord Wei, are you still in the mood to joke?" Zhang Baoxiang looked around and found that everyone on this long street had dispersed without him noticing.

It seems... Wang Dayong is going to fight them in the prefect's mansion.

"What are you afraid of? I've been through many dangerous places before!" Wei Zheng sneered, "Humph, how can I be afraid of him?"

After saying that, Wei Zheng was the first to step into the gate.

And Zhang Baoxiang...

I might as well draw my sword and follow.

Then, his personal guards drew their weapons, rushed into the governor's mansion without saying a word, and stood in front of the two adults.

"People are coming." In the study of the prefect's mansion, Wang Dayong said bitterly to Dou Du, who was sitting in front of him with his eyes closed, "Are you really going to take action?"

"Are you reluctant to do it?" Dou Du opened his eyes upon hearing this: "Today, Wei Zheng's life or death is not important. What is important is that I intend to use this knife of yours to tell some people that His Highness the King of Chu may still be immature now, but anyone who dares to have any thoughts about him deserves a death!

Wei Zheng is proof of this!"

(ps: Happy National Day to everyone!)
