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

Faced with such a powerful His Royal Highness the King of Chu, no matter how unwilling Zhou Ling was, he could only accept his fate in the end - lying on the cold ground and welcoming the arrival of death.

“Your Highness the King of Chu…you…” Zhang Baoxiang was shocked when he saw Zhou Ling being knocked down by the furious King of Chu with a single blow, but he was also a little worried: “Zhou Ling is at least a fourth-rank general…kill him…and then go to His Majesty…”

"Hey, what's the big deal?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Isn't it easy to fool that incompetent emperor? Wei Zheng, when you submit a memorial to my father later, just say that this guy was killed by horse bandits."

"Your Highness, may I ask which bandits they are?" Wei Zheng was already used to His Highness the King of Chu telling lies, but he would never allow him to drag him into the fun. "Besides, you said before that the bandits from Taihang Mountain... No, the refugees from Taihang Mountain will have to leave the mountains in the future and be registered as citizens by the local government..."

"Then write that this person is guilty of a heinous crime, and seeing that the situation is hopeless, he decided to go all out and directly attack His Royal Highness the King of Chu. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was quick to react and killed the other party. Duke Wei, do you think this statement is reasonable?" - Wang Xuance is different from His Royal Highness the King of Chu. He is used to going through the front door.

Of course, the same was true for Zhang Zhenxuan who came with him at this time.

"Mr. Dou," Zhang Zhenxuan first glanced at the patriarch who was full of aura at the moment, and then he bowed to Dou Du from a distance.

"I don't deserve such a great gift from the little Heavenly Master," Dou Du saw Zhang Zhenxuan saluting to him, and hurriedly bowed back, "It's really a bit embarrassing for me."

"I deserve it," Before Zhang Zhenxuan could reply, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spoke first: "Although Zhenxuan has a high status in our family, isn't he younger than me?"

“Your Highness, that’s not the case…” Wang Xuance felt that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was sometimes really abstract - Zhen Xuan saluted this Mr. Dou, and that was all for the sake of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, the head of the family. Otherwise, if he didn’t want to pay attention to the current emperor appearing in front of him, he really wouldn’t pay attention to him.

"Xuan Ce, please stop talking." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not in a good mood at the moment. "I am afraid that we will go off topic while chatting later. Please let me confirm a few things first."

"Your Highness..." Wang Xuance was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he looked at Dou Du.

As for Dou Du, his expression was calm at this moment.

"Your name is Wang Dayong, right?" - After killing Zhou Ling with one knife, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not plan to start killing again for a while, so when he came to Wang Dayong's side and saw that the other party couldn't help but shiver a few times, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spoke in a gentler tone: "Wang Dayong, I only want to ask you one thing today - who was the person who gave you the idea to report a false case and pin the crime of tax silver robbery on Shan Tianchang, and used this to force Shan Tianchang to accept the Wang family's recruitment?"

"..." Wang Dayong never thought that the first question His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu asked him when he saw him would be this.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Dayong hesitated to speak - he tried to use his confused mind to sort out the cause and effect of the whole incident during this brief conversation.

“Pa!” Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, the King of Chu raised his hand and slapped him: “You can’t remember it for a while, right? Do you remember it now?!”

"I... remember now..." Wang Dayong was really slapped in the face by His Royal Highness the King of Chu. "The person who gave me the idea... was... Liu Chendong. He was my insider who was planted next to Xingzhou County Magistrate Gu Lianzhi! This idea... was actually first thought of by Gu Lianzhi!"

"Wow?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "There are still experts... What about Gu Lianzhi and Liu Chendong's people?"

"Your Highness..." At this point, Wang Dayong finally realized that something was wrong: "I...I haven't seen these two people for a few days..."

"You're a loser..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was too lazy to complain: "Why are all the Five Surnames and Seven Families such idiots? Oh...when something happened, all you could think about was how to protect the family behind you. You never thought that you were being plotted against, right?"

"..." What else could Wang Dayong say? He never expected that Xingzhou was far away from Chang'an, and the bandit problem in Taihang Mountains was a long-standing one. But when the person who was responsible for suppressing the bandits was replaced by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, he became uneasy, and all he thought about all day was how to recruit Shan Tianchang into his service before His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu arrived in Xingzhou.

Later, Wang Dayong learned from Wang Pan that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had gone up the mountain and became the king of the mountain. Wang Dayong was thinking about how to deal with Wang Pan and arrange for his wife and children to escape - the clan might give his family a way to survive after his death because of his loyalty, but Wang Dayong did not want his children to experience that feeling of living under someone else's roof again.

The younger daughter had no choice but to stay in the clan - after all, this was the clan's rule. All clan members who served as officials outside must have direct bloodlines remaining in the clan. If they refused, they could forget about entering officialdom.

Thinking about the difficult life his well-behaved little daughter would have in the Wang family in the future, Wang Dayong couldn't help feeling heartbroken and guilty.

"Your eyes have been wandering for a long time. What's the matter? Do you want to make trouble for me again?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was too lazy to slap him this time. He just kicked him down and said, "I'll ask you a question... Forget it..."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment, then turned to Dou Du and said, "Zao Aweng, can you find a few reliable people in this mansion? I want them to take my people to search Gu Lianzhi's mansion and the places he often goes to. Also, we need to investigate Liu Chendong."

"Your Highness..." Dou Du's heart was far from being as calm as he appeared: "This... I think it's not necessary... So much time has passed, Gu Lianzhi and Liu Chendong must have left the boat a long time ago..."

"That has to be investigated!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spoke in a firm tone, with a determination that would not allow anyone to question: "Xuan Ce, since Dou Aong is unwilling, then you can choose someone!"

"Yes!" Wang Xuance responded respectfully after hearing this.

"Alas..." Zhang Zhenxuan, who was beside him, suddenly glanced at Wei Zheng, who was silent not far away: "Duke Wei, don't mess up today's matter."

"Who are you? Do you have an explanation?" Wei Zheng was awakened from his fear and turned to look at the other person with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "At such a young age, you are worthy of being called 'Little Heavenly Master' by Cao Gong..."

"Are you not convinced?" Zhang Zhenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that.
