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

When Emperor Li II said that he wanted to find a way to bring His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu back to Chang'an, it was certainly not because his daughter Sizi was quarreling with him.

So this time, he sent Tang Jian to act as a lobbyist.

Twenty days later, in Gaochang City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as Tang Jian, who was exhausted from traveling, entered the room, he started to stare at King Chu, who was sitting under the flower stand eating noodles.

The middle-aged swordsman following behind him immediately turned his eyes to Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing next to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

The latter just looked at him silently and then looked away.

There was silence in the courtyard for a while. After a long while, Tang Jian suddenly sighed and said in a resigned tone, "Your Highness, you know what I am going to say."

"Huluhulu..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu put down his bowl and chopsticks after hearing this, and then said, "Does Lord Tang want to say anything else?"

"Little Heavenly Master, long time no see." Tang Jian now turned his gaze to Zhang Zhenxuan who was standing next to King Chu: "You seem to be becoming more and more like an immortal."

"Your Highness, Lord Tang is a smart man." Zhang Zhenxuan withdrew his hands from behind his back and continued, "Don't blame me, Lord Tang. I just don't like the person behind you."

"..." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged swordsman silently placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist: "I have no ill intentions..."

"Who are you?" It was only then that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu focused his attention on this person: "You look very unfamiliar to me."

"Your Highness the King of Chu, this is Li Junxian, the Duke of Wulian County." Tang Jian felt that if he spoke a little slower, Li Junxian would most likely die here today.

"Oh." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded after hearing this. He then glanced at Li Junxian and said, "Zhen Xuan, can we take him down within ten breaths?"

“Your Highness, what are you talking about…” Zhang Zhenxuan curled his lips upon hearing that. Then, he flashed in front of Li Junxian at an incredible speed in front of Tang Jian’s horrified eyes. Then, he grabbed the other’s neck with one hand and said contemptuously, “Three breaths is too much!”

"..." Li Junxian was already terrified at this moment - from the moment Zhang Zhenxuan started to act, he was ready to draw his sword to meet the enemy, but the strange thing was that his sword seemed to be firmly sucked into the scabbard, and he wanted to pull it out, but it didn't move at all.

In the blink of an eye, Li Junxian was about to go forward to meet the enemy with bare hands, but Zhang Zhenxuan had already grabbed his neck.

It was this moment that made Li Junxian feel as if he was stuck in a quagmire. The energy in his body was blocked. It was now difficult for him to even move his little finger!

"No...this..." Tang Jian was stunned standing aside.

"Lord Tang," however, King Chu's focus was always beyond everyone's expectations: "You relied on this half-baked warrior to escort you all the way? Hey... I said that the tyrant king was never reliable - fortunately, my reputation is scary enough now, so no one dares to rob you in the Western Regions, otherwise what's the difference between you and rushing to die?"

"Uh... Your Highness, what you said may be too hurtful to General Li..." As an old man in Tiance Mansion, Tang Jian naturally knew Li Junxian's fighting ability. This man was a fierce general who followed Emperor Li II to defeat Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heita. Otherwise, he would not have been sent by Emperor Li II to ensure his own safety this time.

"Bah!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu spat at the side, and then said leisurely: "This fellow has looked at me with no respect since he entered the door. What's the matter? I haven't rebelled yet...you treat me as a rebel king? Fine, fine...well, Zhenxuan, put this fellow down, and I will give him a chance to eliminate the biggest threat to Your Majesty."

"Plop!" Apart from the old Taoist priest, Zhang Zhenxuan only obeyed the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Chu in his life. However, the way he put the person down was also quite interesting - he just threw Li Junxian into the pool beside him.

After being hit by the cold water, Li Junxian's furious heart finally regained his sanity for a short time: he did lose his sense of propriety. Even though he was carrying out the emperor's order, His Royal Highness the King of Chu might not give him face. Besides... he might not even have a chance to fight back against this little Taoist priest, let alone survive a single move. So...

Just admit your mistake... Anyway, it was only Tang Jian who was present before, so it's not shameful.

With this thought in mind, when Li Junxian climbed out of the pond, the resentment in his eyes had disappeared. "Your Highness, Li Junxian, pays respect to His Majesty the King of Chu! I was arrogant just now, so the little Taoist priest taught me a lesson. To be honest... I really deserve it..."

"Oh, you're also trying to steal my words." His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that Li Junxian was so aware of the situation, so he thought for a moment and said, "Li Junxian, right?"

"Your Highness the Prince of Chu has a good memory." Li Junxian had no idea what the Prince of Chu was up to, but he still spoke out consciously so as not to let His Highness the Prince of Chu's words fall to the ground.

"Ah..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head upon hearing this: "No wonder you have been with that tyrant for so long, yet you are still only a county duke - you don't know how to flatter at all... So, if you have time later, remember to visit the Duke of Ying and bargain with him about the 'art of flattery' - if you can learn even 20% of the Duke of Ying's flattery skills, I can guarantee that your title will definitely be raised a bit."

"..." Li Junxian didn't know how to respond.

So he looked to Tang Jian for help.

"..." Tang Jian really didn't want to pay any attention to this guy - he was so arrogant when he came here, thinking that he could make His Royal Highness the King of Chu bow down with the order of His Majesty, but now he's like this?

Once the people around you make a move, you will be obedient.

Hey……

"Your Highness..." Although he was helpless, Tang Jian still had to work for a certain tyrant to make a living: "Can you... um... not talk about this, let's talk about something else?"

"It's easy not to mention this," His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu thought for a moment after hearing this, "but let's talk about other things... Lord Tang, what else can we talk about? Did you give Tang Guan a brother? Or a sister? Lord Tang, you are still strong and healthy! Ah... Speaking of which, I am still the Junior Minister of the Honglu Temple. Well, for such a happy event, we need to prepare gifts, so... someone, come!"

"Little ancestor...can you shut up?" Tang Jian's mood was even more complicated than Li Junxian's: "As for face...you...I...I still want it..."
