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

After seeing off Lu Dongzan, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not stay in Songzhou for too long. The next day, he led his army to Yingzhou, ready to attack Goguryeo.

However, when the army passed through the state again, they were stopped by Yun Shang and his men who had been guarding the official road early on.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu, His Majesty has an order..." Yun Chang, who had finally waited for King Chu to pass by, was now standing in the middle of the official road. He raised his hands high, holding the imperial edict of His Majesty Li Er, and said respectfully to His Highness, the King of Chu: "Please turn back..."

"I won't listen, so get out of here right now." If it weren't for Hong San's sake, His Royal Highness the King of Chu would have dismounted and started beating people up. "And you, Liu Bing, which side are you on?"

"In reply to your Highness, the King of Chu, I am a minister who eats the salary of the king, so of course I will be loyal to the king!" - Liu Bing is the deputy commander of the Hundred Cavalry Division that was recently established by His Majesty Li Er. In front of his subordinates, he naturally had to hide his true words in polite words: "So please, Your Highness, the King of Chu, don't embarrass me."

"You bastard... who's making things difficult for whom?" Yuwen Qing saw that Liu Bing dared to speak in an official tone to his own head, which was pure treason in his eyes, so he had already raised the spear in his hand, intending to charge forward and stab this "ungrateful wolf" Liu Bing through and through.

"Yuwen Qing, you step back first." His Royal Highness the King of Chu ordered Yuwen Qing not to act rashly while slowly riding his horse to Yun Shang.

"Did that tyrant ask you to deliver this thing?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at the imperial edict, and then began to look at the cavalry guards not far away: "Yun Shang, with just these few people, they want to 'arrest' me. Who does that tyrant look down on?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu... His Majesty didn't mean that..." Yun Shang spoke more cautiously at this moment: "His Majesty just wants you to go back earlier... so that he, the Queen, and the Emperor don't worry about you day and night..."

"Yun Shang, that tyrant king would never say such disgusting words." Upon hearing Yun Shang's words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could not help but gently put the spear in his hand on Yun Shang's shoulder: "If you continue to add drama to that tyrant king, I will beat you."

"Your Highness, these are indeed the words of His Majesty. How dare I lie to you?" Yun Shang didn't want to do that, but she could not defy fate.

"Yunqi," His Royal Highness the King of Chu was silent for a while after hearing Yunshang's words, and then called Yunqi who was behind him.

"Your Highness." Yunqi, who had rushed over after hearing the news, took the initiative to dismount and walk when he was thirty steps away from His Highness the King of Chu as a sign of respect.

"His Majesty has ordered you to bring all the troops that followed me back to Chang'an as soon as possible." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was in a state of indifference and aloofness at this moment: "Just do as I say, I will never stop you."

"Your Highness?" Yun Qi was stunned when he heard this. He then turned around and glared at Yun Shang: "How dare you fake the imperial decree?!"

"How could I lie..." Yun Shang felt that she was really unlucky: "No... Your Highness the Prince of Chu... His Majesty didn't mean that..."

"You don't understand." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this: "Yun Shang, you really don't understand anything..."

At the moment, His Majesty Li II's behavior is like that of some parents in later generations who want to maintain their own dignity. Even if they are wrong and have wronged their children, they will never apologize afterwards. Instead, they seek peace in a way that makes people feel extremely disgusted - for example, now, the imperial edict in Yun Shang's hand has only four words in it: "Return to Chang'an as soon as possible", and these four words, translated, become the reconciliation routine commonly used by strong parents in later generations: "Come out for dinner."

Once you walk out of the room, sit down and pick up the bowl, the matter will be over.

But if you insist on continuing to be hungry, then new disputes will begin.

And this time, it will be your fault.

"Your Highness..." The reason why Yunqi had an intersection with His Highness the Prince of Chu in the beginning was because when Yu Shinan was teaching His Highness the Prince of Chu, he needed guards to maintain teaching order. But today, His Highness the Prince of Chu is obviously no longer a naughty student who needs to be watched and abide by classroom discipline.

"Okay, take them away." His Royal Highness the King of Chu had not originally planned to bring these people into Goguryeo.

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, you..." Yun Shang knew that this difficult task was almost impossible to complete, but he still tried to struggle: "You——"

"Yun Shang, I won't embarrass you, and you don't have to embarrass me either, understand?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not a coward: "If you continue to talk, I will have to write a letter to your master Hong San."

"..." Yun Chang heard that Master had been living well in Yushan recently. If he received a complaint from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the consequences could be imagined...

“Your Highness, please don’t be impulsive…” Although Wang Xuance could understand the reason why His Highness Prince Chu sent the people back, he knew that if he did so, His Highness Prince Chu would be in a desperate situation: “Since Yun Shang said that Your Majesty…”

“Don’t mention that tyrant. I don’t want to bother with him at all!” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu retracted his spear, then clamped his legs lightly around the horse’s belly, allowing himself and Yun Shang to cross paths. “It’s settled. There’s no room for negotiation. The rest of you, follow me and continue on your journey!”

"only!"

Anyone could see that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was really angry this time.

Half an hour later.

“Your Highness the Prince of Chu… Your Highness the Prince of Chu… please stay…” Just as His Highness the Prince of Chu, whose entourage had nearly 80% less and now had less than 800 soldiers left with him, was about to order a full-speed advance, Liu Bing, the scout and retainer whom His Highness the Prince of Chu had accepted in Shuofang City, caught up with them.

"You still dare to come?!" - Yuwen Qing felt the grievance in the head of the family's heart. When he saw Liu Bing actually chasing after him, he suddenly felt very angry.

"Brother Yuwen, please be patient." Wang Xuance could see that Liu Bing was not a traitor to the Dou family as everyone generally believed.

"Your Highness..." When Liu Bing finally arrived beside His Royal Highness the King of Chu, he didn't even have time to take a breath and rest, and hurriedly said: "You must be careful when you go to Goguryeo. I...I recently received a secret decree. His Majesty seems to be preparing to investigate where those black-clad warriors that Queen Taimu left for you came from..."

"That incompetent monarch... is really..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was already so angry that he laughed: "He really just wants to have a clear conscience and persevere?"
