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

"The throne of the Tang Dynasty is not important," His Royal Highness the King of Chu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then slowly said: "Your head is not important either - but without Goguryeo, it is very important to the Tang Dynasty!"

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

How dare you covet the orthodox Han Dynasty?

These words fully demonstrated the royal demeanor of His Majesty the King of Chu.

Gao Jianwu closed his eyes silently after hearing this: "You are right. It is very important for the Tang Dynasty to have no Goguryeo! Yeon Gaesomun, that short-sighted bastard, can't defend it...can't defend it..."

"He is not short-sighted, he is just selfish enough." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled coldly upon hearing this: "You are the same kind of people."

Hearing this, Gao Jianwu trembled a little, but finally lowered his head and said no more.

“Yuwen Qing, hold the head in the hall and follow me.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu could feel the pain in his chest gradually dissipating. It seemed that the arrows had not hurt his bones. “Zhenxuan, you will be the only one to lead the way. I am a little weak now…”

"Your Highness, please rest assured." Zhang Zhenxuan nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, why don't we just retreat from the other two palace gates? Wouldn't that be better?" Yuwen Qing scratched his head when he heard that.

"It doesn't matter where we retreat from, because we still have to fight our way out of the inner city in the end." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu glanced at Yuwen Qing, and then patiently explained: "What's more, in this situation, we can only ensure the most efficient breakout if we unite our forces. By the way, Yuwen Qing, send someone to call back Xuan Ce and Jiang Sheng first. In the next battle, we will really have to fight hard..."

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

Quan Gaisuwen's wish was fulfilled, and Gao Jianwu was destined to be dead.

But he didn't feel happy.

Looking at his father lying in a pool of blood, Quan Gaisuwen wanted to cry out, but when he finally opened his mouth, he found that he could not make any sound.

“Brother Su Wen, please accept my condolences…” The only one who stayed beside Quan Gaisu Wen at the moment was Yi Shishe of Goguryeo. This Goguryeo minister who stabbed Gao Jianwu in the back was now in a state of panic. But he knew one thing very well. It was okay for him to be panic-stricken, but if Quan Gaisu Wen was also like this, then everyone would be on the same boat and could only close their eyes and wait for death: “Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, many matters still need your decision…”

"Someone come!" Perhaps Yishishe's reminder worked, Quan Gaisuwen suddenly shouted: "Someone come!"

"Head of the family!" Following Quan Gaisuwen's call, the generals of the Yuan family who had been suppressed by Yuan Tiangang before walked in one after another.

"Bury my father first." Quan Gaisuwen said as he slowly stood up with the help of Yi Shishe: "You guys..." - Quan Gaisuwen used his eyes to signal several Yuan family generals who had fought with Yuan Tiangang before, and said in a low voice: "Go find the best painters and ask them to draw the Taoist's appearance. I will offer a reward of ten thousand gold to avenge my father!"

"..." Upon hearing this, the several family generals looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Yi Shishe, who was supporting Quan Gaisuwen at the moment, couldn't help but curse Quan Gaisuwen for being "hypocritical" in his heart - not to mention whether your bounty order can get out of Goguryeo, just the other party's identity as a servant of the Dou family, there are few people in this world who dare to risk their lives - the head of the family is the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he is a little down and out now, who dares to say that they can provoke him?

Quan Gaisuwen's move was just a formality to save his own and Yuan family's reputation which was about to plummet.

But... the one who sees through things but doesn't speak them out is a truly smart person.

So after a brief hesitation, the family generals immediately bowed to Quan Gaisuwen and said, "We obey your orders!"

"Brother Quan, please go to the inner city and tell the commander of the imperial guards, Cang Min, that if Gao Jianwu is dead, then let the King of Chu go, and we only need to hunt him down afterwards. After all, there are many royal family members and dignitaries living in the palace and the inner city. If we force them to do something desperate, I'm afraid that Prince Gao Zang will also be in danger. By then, I'm afraid there will be even greater unrest in the court."

"Brother Su Wen..." Quan Jiushan didn't expect that Quan Gaisu Wen, who had just suffered the pain of losing his father, could recover in such a short time.

If King Gao Jianwu dies at the hands of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, then King Gao Zang, as the future father-in-law of Yuan Jingtu, will be the next legitimate king with the support of the Yuan family.

But if he died, then... there would definitely be a huge turmoil in Goguryeo.

This is because the Yuan family will not trust other princes of the royal family, and the Yuan family is the most powerful in the military. However, once the aristocratic families and other provincial governors unite, they may not be powerless to fight.

But when the situation developed into this, it undoubtedly gave Silla and Baekje, which had always been oppressed by Goguryeo, and the Tang Dynasty, which had long been eyeing Goguryeo, an opportunity.

Under the internal and external troubles, none of them would have a good ending. Even though everyone realized this, no one would make concessions when a conflict occurred - even if the best outcome was to perish together, it would be better than having their bodies become a stepping stone for the other side to surrender.

"Go..." Quan Gaisuwen waved his hands weakly: "Cang Min will hate me for killing these people under the pretext of my father's birthday party, but he also knows that if he doesn't do as I say, then everyone is doomed to embark on a road of no return. - Believe me, the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty... He knows how to grasp the enemy's weaknesses better than anyone else. If he really fights like a trapped beast and kills King Gao Zang in the inner city, we will be in real trouble."

"Brother Su Wen... you have clearly seen this a long time ago, why do you..." Quan Jiushan was halfway through his words when he suddenly met the cold eyes cast by Quan Gaisu Wen...

"..." Then he understood - except for the death of Yuan Taizuo, which was something Quan Gaisumun had not anticipated in advance, the rest of the development of the situation was actually in his plan - even as an ally of Yuan, Cang Min probably didn't know Quan Gaisumun's real intention - he didn't want to fight to the death with the royal family, he planned to support Gao Zang to take the throne after Gao Jianwu's death, and use this to control the government and become the true uncrowned king of Goguryeo!

No wonder... No wonder that Taoist didn't kill Quan Gaisuwen...

The Tang Chu King must be aware of Quan Gaisuwen's purpose, but Quan Gaisuwen's purpose is of no importance to the Chu King...

After all, Kunpeng, with its wings spread over 90,000 miles, would never care about the ambitions of a tiny sparrow - even if Kunpeng was willing to help, even if the sparrow spent its entire life, it would still be difficult to fly out of the shadow under Kunpeng's wings...
