Half an incense stick later, His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his entourage arrived at the city gate captured by Pei Xingyan.

At this time, from the city gate to the long street connecting the city gate, there was a tragic battlefield with corpses everywhere.

However, when His Royal Highness the King of Chu and his men arrived, the battle here was nearing its end.

"Your Highness, General Pei has worked hard for us." As a member of the Wang family, Wang Hanzhang followed His Highness the Prince of Chu into the palace this time and did not participate in any battles. Now he was looking at the tall figure standing under the city gate with a knife and felt inexplicably shocked.

"What are you thinking about?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "Who do you think sent these Goguryeo soldiers? That bastard Quan Gaisuwen didn't discuss the terms with me because he saw that he couldn't take back the city gate. Hanzhang, remember, no matter it's fighting on the battlefield, the struggle between countries, or the struggle between people, they are actually following an objective law, that is - if you can't win in a head-on confrontation, then attack from the side. If attacking from the side doesn't work either, then you have to compromise helplessly."

"Your Highness, I am grateful for your teaching." Wang Hanzhang found that he could really learn a lot from following His Highness the Prince of Chu...

“Brother Kuan!” Just as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was serving as Wang Hanzhang’s life mentor, Li Huairen, who had just dealt with the team of guards who had spoken foul language to the Prince of Chu when he entered the city, was now raising his long sword and excitedly waving it at His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu below, signaling: “Is it done?”

"It's done, it's done." His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his head lazily and shouted upwards, "Where are Ling Wu and the others?"

"Ling Wu is still vomiting, and Hou Yun is accompanying him." Li Huairen's tone was somewhat contemptuous when he answered: "Brother Kuan, they are not as good as me."

"Xingyan, you've worked hard." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was too lazy to care about Li Huairen at this moment. He rode his horse to the city gate and looked at Pei Xingyan, who was covered in blood. His expression became gentle: "Without you, I really couldn't have accomplished this so easily."

"Your Highness has killed Gao Jianwu?" Pei Xingyan was still a little surprised: "So fast?"

"——Your Highness, what's the hurry?" Just as His Highness the King of Chu was about to answer, Yuan Tiangang appeared from nowhere, holding a steamed bun in his hand: "Your Highness, look, I am full."

"We'll deal with your matter later." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not very happy about Gangzi's promotion of "Taoist Master" in Yuan Mansion - because he had not forgotten the embarrassing incident in which this guy was chased by the Buddhist sect all the way.

"Your Highness, this is impossible..." Gangzi said with a bitter face, "I have also captured Quan Gaisuwen's brother..."

"Okay, I won't beat you." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was just trying to scare the other party, but he was also a little curious about why the other party was unwilling to attack the Buddhist sect at that time: "But Gangzi, as people with abilities, why should we suffer such a great injustice?"

"Your Highness, don't forget that Buddhism is as powerful as Taoism, otherwise why would there be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?" Yuan Tiangang felt that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was too naive about some things. "Besides, I had a fortune-teller's fortune-teller at that time, and I knew that I would be safe all the way, so there was no need to expose myself. After all, my master said when he was teaching me that if I don't want to cause myself too much trouble in the future, I should learn to hide."

"You are my man now, who dares to trouble you? But... let's talk about your fortune-telling ability later." As His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he dismounted and handed the fine horse obtained from the Goguryeo palace to Pei Xingyan who was watching the show on the side: "Xingyan, a good horse goes with a hero, but Goguryeo doesn't have any good stuff. Although this horse is a Ferghana horse, its coat color is not very pure. But don't worry, when Ma Zhou returns from trading horses in the Western Regions, I will definitely give you the best Ferghana horse."

"Your Highness..." Pei Xingyan took the reins. For the first time, this hero, who was usually serious and not good at speaking, hated himself for being tongue-tied at critical moments.

"Let's go. There's nothing good about staying in this shabby place." His Royal Highness the King of Chu patted Pei Xingyan on the shoulder. Then he smiled at Wang Xuance who brought him a new mount and asked, "Are Quan Gaisuwen's men following us?"

"They followed. There aren't many people, only about a hundred." Wang Xuance nodded and said, "They should be here to pick up Gao Jianwu."

"Your Highness, are we really going to give it to him?" Wang Hanzhang, who was standing by, couldn't help but interject, "Wouldn't it be safer for us to have Gao Jianwu in our hands?"

"Gao Jianwu is dead, isn't he?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this: "This idiot was so afraid of death that he resorted to using a substitute. Now, he has become a substitute himself."

"There's no point in keeping him." After His Royal Highness the King of Chu finished speaking, Wang Xuance added: "Now the military and political power of Goguryeo will probably soon fall into the hands of Quan Gaisuwen, but before that, he still needs to eliminate those voices that oppose him. So as long as we hand Gao Jianwu over to him, he actually has no time to target us - after all..." When Wang Xuance said this, he suddenly glanced at Zhang Zhenxuan who was discussing BMW with Pei Xingyan: "After all... our entry into the palace this time also opened Quan Gaisuwen's eyes..."

"Ahem..." As he finished speaking, Yuwen Qing and others coughed a few times to show their respect for their own offering.

Eye-opening...

Wang Xuance said it lightly, but only those who had seen the "Nine Heavens Falling Mysterious Thunder" at that time knew how majestic the scene was...

"Brother Kuan! Are you okay?" - Just as everyone was talking, Chai Lingwu, with a pale face, led Hou Yunfang Yiai and others down the city wall. Li Huairen and Chai Zhewei, covered in blood, followed them with indifferent expressions.

"From what I see to you, who looks like someone in trouble?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought that his cousin was really interesting.

"You kid..." Chai Lingwu knew that the other party was canceling his embarrassment of going to the battlefield for the first time, but he obviously had a reason to ask this: "Brother Kuan, why is there a hole in your breastplate?"

"That's a decoration. I shot it with an arrow when I had nothing to do. To be honest, the defensive power of the Ming Guang Armor is indeed amazing. It took me a lot of effort to make such a small hole." His Royal Highness the King of Chu said as he gave a calm look to Zhang Zhenxuan who was about to speak not far away.

Upon seeing this, the latter had to keep silent, but secretly reminded himself in his heart: Next time, I must not let His Royal Highness the King of Chu sacrifice himself to save me.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” Although Hou Yun had vomited before, he had obviously recovered by now: “Brother Kuan, it has to be you. Only you can do such a weird and brainless thing—”

"——Hmm?" Li Huairen, who was originally staring at Zhang Zhenxuan with suspicion, turned his head and said, "Hou Yun, you are very brave, right?"

"That's right, you are very brave." Qin Huaiyu, who had just saved Hou Yun on the battlefield, also came down from the city wall and came to Hou Yun. He put an arm on Hou Yun's shoulder and said jokingly: "Ayun, now you are on the battlefield yourself and have experienced the fight between life and death, so you should also understand one thing: we are blessed to have a boss like Kuan Ge'er..."
