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

"Your Highness, why don't you lie down first and let me check your injuries." Zhang Zhenxuan was not afraid that this "Tang Dynasty Hammer King" would really attack him cruelly, but he was afraid that the strong force of the arrow would injure the bones of His Highness the King of Chu.

"I'm fine." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu touched his chest, then glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan unhappily, "Don't tell anyone about this. One of us practiced martial arts while the other practiced Taoism, and we almost died at the hands of a master of archery. To be honest... it's embarrassing."

"..." Zhang Zhenxuan was stunned at first, then he realized that his master was thinking about him: "Your Highness..."

"You are so hypocritical..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu stood up from the ground and stretched his arms: "What are you still standing there for? Go out and kill that bastard who launched a sneak attack!"

"Your Highness, there is no hurry." Zhang Zhenxuan shook his head and said, "People can be killed at any time. I will guard you first and wait..."

"Wait for nothing!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, pointing to the black-clad warriors in the palace: "I am very safe, go and kill the man first. I have never suffered such a big setback in my life!"

Well, with just one sentence from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the little Taoist priest instantly understood the priorities of the matter - "broad-minded" was just a lie from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and facing the enemy, "vindictive" could not describe his pettiness.

So... after Zhang Zhenxuan glanced at the large yellow crossbows in the hands of the black-clad warriors and the sharp daggers hanging on their calves, he no longer hesitated, turned around and walked out of the hall, and started chasing the person who had shot the arrows from behind.

As expected, the chase did not take the young master long.

In just a cup of tea, Zhang Zhenxuan returned to the hall: "Your Highness, that despicable villain has been killed."

"How was he executed?" There was no movement from His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu.

"It's cooked." Zhang Zhenxuan blinked his eyes when he heard it: "Literally."

"..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu rubbed his nose after hearing this: "You are not pretending at all now..."

While the king and his ministers were talking, in the royal garden several dozen feet away from the main hall, in a pond filled with lotus flowers, a piece of charred "driftwood" was floating helplessly on the water, telling a tragic story.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, I have captured Gao Jianwu!" Just as His Highness the Prince of Chu was about to take Zhang Zhenxuan out of the palace, Yuwen Qing suddenly brought people to the main hall. He was seen dragging a middle-aged man in eunuch uniform with excitement, and said to the stunned His Highness the Prince of Chu with a happy face: "Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and captured Gao Jianwu for you!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu turned around and glanced at the head on the ground behind him. He felt like he seemed... um... fooled?

"He is Gao Jianwu..." Zhang Zhenxuan's heart undoubtedly felt the same as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu at this moment: "Then... Your Highness, think about it carefully... something is wrong... How could Gao Jianwu sit in the hall waiting for us to kill him? Even if there are two eunuchs... But combined with the subsequent changes... This seems more like a trap..."

"Yuwen Qing, how can you be sure that he is Gao Jianwu?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the strong man with a white face and no beard. He couldn't help but feel a little curious: "Could it be that... you really have some strange talent?"

"Your Highness, what?" Yuwen Qing was a little surprised when he heard this, "What talent?"

"Nothing." His Highness the King of Chu was also afraid of his own tiger-crazy pride: "Where did you find him? How can you be sure that this man is Gao Jianwu? Well... But speaking of it, the portrait that Quan Gaisuwen gave me... Zhenxuan, if this man has a beard, he is indeed exactly the same as the one in the palace..."

"It seems so..." Zhang Zhenxuan and His Royal Highness the King of Chu had actually confirmed at this time that the guy that Yuwen Qing caught was the real Gao Jianwu, but...

The king and his minister, who had just been tricked, really didn't want to admit this fact...

"Your Highness, when I was searching the harem just now, I found this man squatting beside a dilapidated dry well, so I went forward to capture him. I originally intended to interrogate him, but I found blood on his chin, and it seemed that he had just shaved, so... I turned around and reached out!" Yuwen Qing said, making a slightly obscene gesture of reaching in his crotch: "It is confirmed that this guy is a man - Your Highness, the truth is now clear - can there be a eunuch with a penis in this harem? So..."

“Yuwen Qing… it has to be you…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu now wanted to pick up Yuwen Qing and shake him a few times: “This technique is a bit rough, but… it is indeed…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, and stretched out his hand to give Yuwen Qing a thumbs up: “Great, great!”

"General Yuwen really opened Zhenxuan's eyes..." Zhang Zhenxuan now believed it. No wonder his great-grandfather said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was surrounded by capable people - Yuwen Qing might not be the best in terms of combat power, but his ability to "capture the thief and the king" was indeed impressive.

“Hehe… luck… luck… it’s just—” After spending a long time with guys like Wang Xuance, Yuwen Qing now knows how to be humble. But before he could finish his words, Gao Jianwu, who had been held captive by Dou’s followers, spoke up: “Ha… Li Kuan, what are you so proud of? Until now… you are just a person who has a home but cannot return… you must feel very wronged now, right? But look… take a good look! Today, you only brought your retainers, and you turned me, the King of Goguryeo, into your prisoner. Ha… hahahaha… the tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind! From today onwards, I’m afraid that not only will you be unable to return home, your retribution will also be yet to come—”

"Pa!" - Compared to the force with which His Royal Highness the King of Chu usually slaps people, the reckless retainer Yuwen Qing seemed much more violent. He used the scabbard to slap out half of Gao Jianwu's teeth, and then kicked him in the abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground instantly and vomit bile and bitter water all over the floor.

"If you keep barking like a dog, I will castrate you! And let the historians record it so that people in future generations will know that Goguryeo had a eunuch king like you!" - Yuwen Qing, like Gangzi, is a talented person under the King of Chu who can do fancy things, so his threat is obviously serious.

"I don't understand..." Gao Jianwu knew that he would die today, so he didn't say anything to beg for mercy. He just didn't understand one thing: "King of Chu, why? Is the throne more important to you, or is my head as the King of Goguryeo more important to you? If you kill me, it will definitely make your father more wary. Your retainers and your power will be completely suppressed after this... Is it really worth it?"
