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

"Your Highness, leave it to me." Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng immediately walked up to the soldiers, took out a bag of silver from his arms, and threw it into their arms: "Get out of here before my master gets angry!"

"You!" The Goguryeo captain had probably never seen such an arrogant Central Plains person. Just as he was about to order his men to go back and ask for reinforcements while he stayed behind to fight with this group of people, suddenly, one of his men pulled his arm and quietly pointed to the mark on the carriage team at the city gate: "Boss, the Five Surnames and Seven Families... Taiyuan Wang..."

Not easy to mess with!

"..." Out of fear for the Wang family of Taiyuan, the captain finally chose to take the silver and leave without pursuing the matter further.

Little did they know that the person they had offended today was someone that even the Five Surnames and Seven Families could not afford to offend.

"Your Highness, would you like me to find an opportunity to kill them?" As the tiger-crazy prince of His Highness the King of Chu, Yuwen Qing would naturally not allow his Highness to be offended.

"Forget it," His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head after hearing this, and then he looked at the Jingguan where bones were already exposed: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and before this account is completely settled, this king will not make any extraordinary moves. Otherwise... if the grand plan is ruined, it will always be a bit unfair to them..."

After experiencing this small disturbance, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his entourage finally entered the Goguryeo capital smoothly before dark, and then stayed in a villa west of the capital.

The caravan and the Dou family's guards stayed in an inn run by the Wang family of Taiyuan in the east of the city.

“Xuan Ce, tomorrow you will arrange people to spread the news that Quan Gaisuwen was humiliated in the Tang Dynasty and became a eunuch.” Perhaps because he had seen too many Jingguans built with the remains of former Sui soldiers along the way, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had originally planned to overthrow Goguryeo step by step, finally changed his mind.

“Your Highness, this is too dangerous…” Wang Xuance had obviously guessed what His Highness the Prince of Chu was going to do next: “What if that villain turns hostile…”

"He won't turn hostile." After saying this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned his gaze to Wang Hanzhang standing beside him: "Hanzhang, according to the original plan, when will the second batch of personnel arrive?"

"About four or five days later." Wang Hanzhang did not dare to neglect the words and immediately reported: "The second batch of people will be around 200 people. As for the third batch, they are just leaving from Yingzhou now."

"That means it will take half a month for everyone to arrive." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu nodded and said, "Half a month... is enough."

Half a month later, he will make the capital of Goguryeo a river of blood!

That night, His Royal Highness the King of Chu continued to stay in his study and read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Knock, knock..." - When there was a knock on the door, His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought it was Wang Xuance who came: "Xuance, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

"Your Highness, it's me." Lu Yingke's voice was a little restrained. "I'm sorry to disturb your Highness's rest so late at night because I have something important to discuss with you. Please forgive me."

"Come in." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu put down the book in his hand and sat up straight. He was really curious. Why would Lu Yingke, who had remained absolutely silent all the way like Xu Shu entering Cao's camp, come to him to discuss something in the middle of the night?

After getting the permission from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Lu Yingke entered the study. Afterwards, he bowed to His Royal Highness the King of Chu and then said cautiously: "Your Highness, I have a plan that will enable Your Highness--"

"——Wait a minute." His Highness the King of Chu was now afraid that someone other than Wang Xuance would come to him and offer a plan: "Don't try that on me. If you have a plan, just offer it directly. I will judge for myself whether it works or not."

"Your Highness, are you planning to use the fact that Quan Gaisuwen had an affair with the King of Goguryeo's concubine to threaten him and make him work for you?" Lu Yingke was stunned at first, and then he said honestly, "I think this plan is unlikely to work."

"How can you be so sure that this is what I am planning?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had never realized that Lord Lu's grandson was actually a potential adviser. "Of course I know what kind of person Quan Gaisuwen is. That kid hates me to death - not to mention threatening him on his own territory. It's too stupid to do this."

"So, Your Highness is planning to lure him in with benefits?" Lu Yingke suddenly realized, "No wonder Your Highness likes to read Romance of the Three Kingdoms so much recently. It turns out that he is preparing for quoting classics later..."

"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really shocked this time: "Yingke, when did your brain become so useful?"

"Ahem... Your Highness, I am not stupid..." Lu Yingke coughed twice after hearing this, and then said, "Your Highness, you are now a fierce dragon crossing the river. If it is not necessary... Your Highness, in fact, it is better for us to promise benefits to Quan Gaisuwen, the local snake, rather than bully him with power."

"You have a point." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and said, "Then how do you think I should benefit him?"

"When Your Highness met Quan Gaisu Wen in the Honglu Temple, didn't you say, 'The only heroes in the world today are you and Kuan'er'? Your Highness, I think this is the breakthrough point..." Perhaps Lu Yingke had been put in the sack too many times, so he is no longer the nerd who used to do things according to the rules.

"Wow... you really think the same as me..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was really moved. "Yingke, you have been very low-key all along, how come you suddenly gave me such a big surprise... It's really rare! Well... But then again - why did you come to offer me advice only now?"

"Your Highness, I was actually quite afraid of you before..." Seeing that His Highness the King of Chu showed admiration for him, Lu Yingke thought for a moment and decided to answer His Highness the King of Chu's question truthfully: "Of course, I am... a little afraid of you now. But I am not an ungrateful person. I know in my heart that you are taking care of me.

So I also want to do my part for you. I don't want others to think that I have made contributions because of my grandfather. I want to earn this credit myself!" Lu Yingke said at the end, his voice still not loud, but revealed his determination.

"Good...good!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu has read a lot of books recently, and has become much more elegant. "Yingke, on this journey, you have seen... and know clearly - Quan Gaisu Wen... and that Gao Jianwu... They are all prostitutes! So this time when I come here, I must let them have a good lesson, how high the level of rebellion of the bandits in the Tang Dynasty is!"

"Your Highness, how tall is it?" Lu Yingke felt that he must be a qualified supporter at this time.

"How high? Probably..." After hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought carefully for a while before saying, "It's about 40 to 50 meters higher than the city wall of the capital."
