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

"Old Heavenly Master... forget it..."

"No, how can I let it go? Today I must teach this licentious and tyrannical emperor a lesson!"

"... Old Heavenly Master... It's fine for you to criticize the emperor for being a tyrant, but isn't it a bit too much to criticize him for being licentious and immoral..."

"Is it over?" The old Taoist priest stopped and turned to look at the black-clad warriors beside him.

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu loved to tell the truth: "Old Heavenly Master, please at least take care of my grandfather's face..."

After all, that person... is the heavyweight...

"Humph, you are so slippery..." The old Taoist priest was amused by the words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Okay, then I will listen to Your Highness and not cause trouble for that tyrant king."

"Then old Taoist priest, what should I do if you don't understand my thoughts..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he was in a difficult situation: "I can't let you develop a demon in your heart..."

"Silly boy..." The old Taoist priest smiled upon hearing this: "Your Highness is no longer depressed, and the thoughts in my mind will naturally become clear..."

"Old Heavenly Master, you are still good to me." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that he was really ungrateful: "How about... Old Heavenly Master, I will take you as my master?"

“Oh… that’s not necessary…” The old Taoist pulled the corner of his mouth when he heard this: “My seniority in the Taoist sect is too high, so if I accept you as my last disciple… the consequences are too great, and I can’t bear it…”

"Old Heavenly Master...you are going too far..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could not help but feel embarrassed: "This King...this King has always been a believer in Taoism!"

"Really?" The old Taoist priest expressed his disbelief.

"How could it be false?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not only embarrassed, "Old Heavenly Master, don't you think that my character is naturally in line with the style of Taoism?"

"The Dao Sect is not some gangster gang..." The old Taoist thought that His Royal Highness the King of Chu might have misunderstood something: "Living according to one's nature does not mean going crazy."

"..." His Highness the King of Chu did not expect that even the old Heavenly Master had learned to punish him...

It's over... I, as the head of the family, really have no face...

"Your Highness, when you go to Goguryeo, remember, no matter when or where, you must bring Zhenxuan with you." After teaching his unreliable master a lesson, the old Taoist priest repeatedly reminded him earnestly, "Also, the secret of the black-clad assassins...except for me and you, Your Highness, no one else in this world knows it, so Your Highness, you must carefully hide this trump card and don't tell anyone."

"I understand," His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded upon hearing this. "This matter has nothing to do with trust or not. I used to worry that I would be seen as an alien by others after being exposed, but now it seems... just like when you, Old Heavenly Master, deliberately told my father about He Weng's secret, his eyes showed a desire for immortality... I understand the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure."

"You are really smart when you need to be smart." After hearing the heartfelt words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the old Taoist priest finally felt relieved: "In this case, Your Royal Highness the King of Chu, we will be together forever, and we will meet again in the future?"

"Old Heavenly Master, we will meet again..."

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

A month and a half later, at the gates of Songzhou City.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, Your Highness, the King of Chu!" - Han Wei, the garrison commander in charge of guarding Songzhou, knelt down before the King of Chu on the spot after seeing the King of Chu marching all the way to the city. "You are finally here..."

"You kid, get up first..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu had actually met Han Wei several times - as one of the generals under Li Daozon, he had participated in several combat meetings when he was pacifying the Northwest War - although most of the time he was listening to instructions outside the tent, but Han Wei was an eyewitness to the war after all, he certainly knew how good a fighter His Royal Highness the King of Chu was.

"Your Highness the King of Chu, I know you have been wronged, don't worry--" Han Wei was a man who could not hide his thoughts, so he intended to make his position clear right from the start - wherever His Highness the King of Chu's long sword pointed, he would follow with the blade.

"Wait a minute..." His Highness the Prince of Chu really didn't expect that the little thing between him and a certain incompetent emperor in Chang'an City would be spread to Songzhou: "Where did you hear this news?"

"Your Highness, the general sent me a letter." Han Wei was not ambiguous when he heard it, and sold out Li Dao Zong in front of His Highness the King of Chu: "The general said that he is old, and from now on, we old subordinates will be handed over to you to command."

“I…” His Highness Prince Chu was a little confused now: “Isn’t it… that my popularity is so good…”

"Ahem..." Although Wang Xuance, who was standing by, had already seen that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was about to show off to his retainers, this was a very sensitive topic after all. Wang Xuance still hoped that his master could handle the matter in a low-key manner: "Your Highness... It's getting late, let's go into the city first..."

"No way... the sun is right above our heads..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not understand the meaning of the music.

“……”Wang Xuance also realized that he was talking to a cow.

"Your Highness, I heard that there are many beauties from foreign races in Songzhou City..." - Seeing Wang Xuance defeated, the rogue retainer Yuan Tiangang began to make steady efforts.

"Gangzi, you are confused!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu refuted the other party with a serious face: "We came to Songzhou to admire the beauties of foreign races?! We are here to fight for our country and expand its territory!"

"Your Highness is right..." Upon hearing this, Gangzi hurriedly bowed respectfully to His Highness the King of Chu, but when he bowed his head... the corners of his mouth curled unconsciously...

"But speaking of it... I'm really hungry..." After scolding Gangzi, His Royal Highness the King of Chu touched his stomach and said, "General Han, let's go into the city."

"Yes!" Seeing this, Han Wei hurried forward to hold the horse for His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Get out of the way." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately used his whip to knock on the other party's outstretched hand: "We are all soldiers, don't try to trick me. Get on the horse and lead the way for me!"

"Your Highness, it's okay..." Although he was scolded by His Highness the King of Chu, Han Wei felt warm in his heart at this moment: "There is only so much I can do for Your Highness..."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will really beat you up." His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that all warriors were like this. Of course, he himself was actually the same: "Look at the group of good-for-nothings behind me. Now they are all lying on their horses and don't even want to talk. So don't say these empty words anymore - prepare more meat to feed them later, that would be a real treat."
