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

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei..." Wang Gui looked at the fat boy who always showed his innocent side in front of others. For the first time, the old man wanted to teach him what he had learned in his life. "I think if His Highness the Prince of Chu knew your intention, he would be happy."

"Hey! Second brother is such a free and easy person, he definitely won't care about these things." His Royal Highness Prince Wei waved his hand upon hearing this: "Besides, he knows that he likes me..."

At the same time, thousands of miles away, in the capital of Goguryeo.

"hehe……"

"Your Highness, why are you laughing?" Zhang Zhenxuan was confused as he watched His Highness the Prince of Chu, who suddenly put down his chopsticks and started laughing until tears came out.

“Zhenxuan, I’m fine…” After a long while, His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally stopped laughing, pulled the robe of Taoist Yuan who was still feasting beside him, and pulled his handsome face with tears streaming down his face: “It’s just that I just remembered some past events, and I couldn’t help myself…”

"——Your Highness!" Taoist Yuan was having a happy meal, but His Highness the King of Chu pulled his sleeve to use as a napkin. Looking at the wet marks on his arms, the Taoist's mentality completely collapsed: "This is the brand new Taoist robe I just put on this morning!"

“Stop howling, I’ll compensate you with a new one later!” His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he picked up a goose leg from the table and placed it in Yuan Tiangang’s bowl: “Eat, eat, in a while, we won’t be able to eat such good food anymore…”

As soon as His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, everyone, who seemed to be thinking about something, hurriedly speeded up their eating.

Everyone knows that the upcoming tough battle will be more difficult than imagined.

In the following days, His Royal Highness the King of Chu locked himself in his study and began to make plans seriously - of course, the focus of his plan was not how to attack the Goguryeo palace and kill King Gao Jianwu, but how to escape smoothly after the plan was accomplished.

"Your Highness, the third group of people are about to arrive in the capital. Do you think we should let them follow the Wang family's caravan into the city like the second group?" When Wang Xuance reported the news to His Highness the King of Chu, His Highness, who was marking on the map, raised his head and said, "You mean to let them slow down their pace and arrive just in time for our action in three days?"

"General Pei will capture the city gate. I think the only way to minimize casualties is to cooperate with the outside forces." Wang Xuance touched his nose awkwardly and said, "But Your Highness... If we do this, we will face greater pressure when we attack the palace."

"We won't be short of manpower for the battle in the palace." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled at the other party and said, "Let's do as you say. But Xuan Ce, do you think that bastard Quan Gaisuwen will keep his word? The token he sent over was something that I didn't like. That bastard is treating me like a lackey..."

"Your Highness, you have already arranged for Taoist Yuan to assassinate Yuan Taizuo... So I think there is no need for us to bother with a eunuch who is about to see his father off to his grave - not to mention that you are just pretending to be a member of the Yuan family. Once you enter the palace, you can reveal your identity as the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty. By then, anyone who sees you will be trembling with fear."

"Xuan Ce... you have really become a bad boy..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu had too many reasons to comfort Wang Xuance. He just felt uncomfortable everywhere. Fortunately, the lustful and stupid King of Goguryeo in the palace soon used his brain to satisfy him: "Forget it... you are also afraid that I will act impulsively. This time, I will forgive you."

"Your Highness, I promise there will be a next time." Wang Xuance said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Hey, you Wang Xuance!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought he was hallucinating at first, but when he figured it out, he immediately dropped the brush in his hand, stood up and planned to look at the trusted retainer who had recently started playing with Taoist Yuan.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... I know I was wrong..." Wang Xuance's speed of admitting his mistake was definitely faster than the speed of His Highness the King of Chu's running footsteps.

“Alas, I am really tired!” His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not really want to beat Wang Xuance, so he turned around and returned to his seat: “From the capital all the way to the border between Goguryeo and Silla Baekje, I am not worried about the manpower problem, but the war horses are obviously not enough…”

"Your Highness, don't worry about this. Wang Hanzhang has already contacted the Wang clan members along the way, and they will deliver the war horses to the location we agreed in advance." Wang Xuance saw that His Highness the King of Chu had a puzzled look on his face, so he hurriedly explained, "Because the matter has not been finalized, Wang Hanzhang did not report to you first, but instead found a few of us to discuss the feasibility of this matter. Your Highness, this person has a very calm style of doing things, and he is worthy of being used."

"Speaking of calmness..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu scratched his head: "This king really misses Dou Shu'er... I don't know if he has informed the Dou family retainers in Goguryeo. This king, the head of the family, will soon have to take up his sword and ride his horse to fight in all directions..."

"Your Highness, I think Lord Dou should have made the arrangements." After accompanying His Royal Highness the King of Chu through so many things, Wang Xuance is no longer the young man who dared to stand up and shout at Dou Shilun about "what is true loyalty" - after all, the head of the family he follows is the King of Chu. If it weren't for Lord Dou's silent protection over the years, this barbarian king would have jumped to the sky long ago.

"In fact, I don't want Uncle Dou to worry about me all the time." As His Royal Highness the King of Chu spoke, he picked up the brush on the table again and continued to draw the route on the map: "Xuan Ce, if I have a son in the future, you have to treat my son well like Uncle Dou treats me."

"Your Highness, I am not as good as Lord Dou." Although Wang Xuance knew the correct answer, he preferred to speak the truth in front of His Highness the King of Chu: "No matter how well I perform in the future, I will not be as good as Lord Dou."

"Yes... my son would not be as weak and helpless as he was when I first came to Chang'an. If it weren't for Uncle Dou..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu pursed his lips: "I will never forgive that tyrant!"

"..." Wang Xuance, who was completely confused at this moment, had no idea how much weight these words from His Royal Highness the King of Chu carried.

But facing the upcoming war, this doubt seems insignificant.
