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

The next day, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had nothing to do and was too lazy to listen to music, suddenly had a brilliant idea while having breakfast.

"Chengxin, you and Yao Ji go out of the palace and invite Huairen and Lingwu cousin to the palace for me." When His Royal Highness the King of Chu put down his bowl and chopsticks, he told Chengxin who came to clean up: "Also... forget it, let's do it this way for now."

His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu originally wanted to ask about the Crown Prince's recent situation, but he thought that under the current circumstances, it might be better for him to continue to be kept in the dark, so he simply stopped interfering.

"Your Highness, I'll do it right away." Upon hearing this, Cheng Xin immediately smiled and nodded.

"Wait, once we get out of this door, you call yourself a slave in front of me, and I won't pick on you..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was halfway through his words when he suddenly looked at Cheng Xin and asked, "Do you think it's hard to get along with me?"

"Your Highness... I don't have any." Cheng Xin was also quick to understand: "It's mainly because I'm stupid..."

"Then use your brain more. Unless one day you can be like me, surrounded by brave generals and counselors... in short, you must be surrounded by brave generals! Only then you can do things without using your brain. Do you understand?" After a good night's sleep, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now full of energy and ready to do something truly "earth-shaking".

"Your Highness, I understand..." Chengxin knew that his own King Chu had found a new way to amuse himself...

And the facts were just as he expected.

An hour later, Li Huairen and Chai Lingwu were summoned into the palace.

On the other side, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had been waiting for a long time in a corner of the Imperial Garden with his fat brother Qingque.

"Brother Kuan, is there something important going on?" Next to the flower garden that Li Er loved the most, the core members of the Chang'an Bandits and a powerful foreign aid formed a circle at this moment. The first one to ask questions was Li Huairen, the number one thug of His Majesty the Prince of Chu: "What do you mean? Whose sack is this time?"

“No, no, no…” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hands: “Brother Huairen, what you said is wrong——”

"——That's right." Chai Lingwu, who had also been feeling aggrieved at home for a long time, did not wait for his cousin to finish his words, and interrupted without authorization: "Based on our current strength, who else do we need to put a sack on? Can't we just go up and do it? I'm not bragging, if one day my father..."

"- Shut up!" If His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had not taken into consideration that Pei Chengxian was now in Yushan and was worried about the news leaking out, he would never have considered Chai Lingwu, a idiot. Of course, Li Huairen was only barely reliable: "You two should prepare everything according to the list I gave you, and then deliver the things to the address filled in on the list. No problem?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, handing over the note that he had prepared long ago.

Li Huairen and Chai Lingwu took the list and were surprised after reading the contents. Chai Lingwu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Kuan, what do you want so much charcoal for? And saltpeter, sulfur, copper ore, and iron ore? What do you want these for?"

"Don't worry about that," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said in a pretentious tone, "Anyway, by the time the New Year's Day comes, you, my cousin, will understand everything..."

"Okay, then I won't ask." Chai Lingwu didn't hesitate after hearing that, but then he suddenly realized something: "But... Brother Kuan... where is the money to buy these things? Although I have some savings... but it's far from enough to buy these... Even if I put a knife to the shopkeeper's neck, he definitely won't sell me out..."

"Qingque," His Royal Highness the King of Chu called Li Tailai, and of course he had his reasons.

"Second brother... this is my savings over the years..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei considered himself to be the second brother's most loyal brother, so at this moment he had to reluctantly take out his own treasures and handed over a bag of golden beans: "Spend it sparingly..."

"Silly boy, wait until after the Spring Festival, your brother will double the amount for you." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu rubbed his brother's head, then took the purse and opened it: "Wow! Qingque, you are really good at making money!"

"This is all the family property I have saved up bit by bit..." Qingque was reminding himself repeatedly in his heart at this time: Don't feel sorry for it, don't feel sorry for it, my second brother is the most important.

"Your family business..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu shook the money bag with his hand, and then threw it to Li Huairen and Chai Lingwu who were preparing to "divide the spoils" on the side: "It's a bit shabby... After the New Year's Day, your second brother will double it for you!"

"Second brother..." When King Wei heard his second brother was so kind, he suddenly couldn't help but want to go up and give him a hug.

"Don't try that on me, kid." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu only needed to look at his brother's eyes to know what he wanted to do: "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. Go to the stable and feed the black devil for me first."

"Second brother..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei knew that he was too happy before: "I'm not a groom..."

"Go if I tell you to go, otherwise I won't take you to play with me later!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, and then he stretched out his hand and gave his brother a chestnut.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei finally surrendered under the threat of his second brother.

After he left, His Royal Highness the King of Chu turned to Chai Lingwu and Li Huairen and said, "You two should be careful to do things in secret and not be too conspicuous."

"Brother Kuan, you want to start a fire?!" Li Huairen was immediately excited when he heard it, "That's great! The woodshed in my backyard is full of -"

"——If you keep talking like this, I'll beat you up for your father!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately gave the other party a kick: "I'm leaving Chang'an soon, right? So I want to leave some good memories for everyone! Do you understand?!"

"Ah?" Chai Lingwu felt that these words coming out of Kuan'er's mouth were even more surprising than Duke Lu reciting the Analects: "Kuan'er, are you serious?"

"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu endured and endured it again, then said: "If you were not my cousin... I would really..."

"Brother Kuan... forget it..." Li Huairen, who was standing by, hurriedly tried to persuade him, "As for Ling Wu... we all know... he has never been very smart..."

"You have a good brain!" Chai Lingwu couldn't help but retort: ​​"You have a good brain so you get whipped!"

"..."For the first time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu realized that he could not take a single step without his retainers - but... never mind... just treat it as a test of these two guys' ability to do things in advance.

"Brother Kuan, cousin, Huairen, what are you doing?" Just as Li Huairen and Chai Lingwu were arguing fiercely, the voice of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly came from behind the three of them.

With his appearance, Chai Lingwu and Li Huairen, who were originally flushed and ready to roll up their sleeves to start a fight, suddenly became quiet.

The two of them just glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then turned around and looked at Li Kuan, and then said in unison: "Brother Kuan, we are leaving first."

“Go, go, go…” Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was touched but also a little helpless. He immediately waved his hand and said, “See you later.”

"Yeah." Upon hearing this, Chai Lingwu immediately turned around and prepared to leave, ignoring Li Chengqian who was still present.

Li Huairen bowed to the prince perfunctorily, and then began to chase after Chai Lingwu who was walking in front.

From beginning to end, no one said a word to the prince.

It was His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu who suddenly chuckled when only the two brothers were left at the scene, and then winked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince: "If you can escape as soon as possible from the palace banquet on the first day of the first lunar month, then do so. By then, the Ganlu Palace... will definitely be more interesting than the Taiji Palace..."
