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

"That's right." Jiang Sheng nodded and said, "This Tang Dynasty is not your world, Your Highness."

"Jiang Sheng!" Xie Minlin didn't expect that Jiang Sheng would say something so outrageous as soon as he opened his mouth: "You really think that you can do whatever you want when Lord Jiang is not around, right?!"

"He's not wrong." Seeing Jiang Sheng shrink his neck in fear at Xie Minlin's words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu said with some displeasure: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed not my world. Is this a rebellious statement? Lord Xie, I know you are worried, but don't worry, my interest in Chang'an is definitely not as great as that in Goguryeo. Quan Gaisuwen, this bastard, does he think that the matter of the Goguryeo envoy can be let go so easily?

If I don't tear this bastard's head off with my own hands and throw it into the sea to feed the fish, I'd be showing my mercy!"

"Your Highness, there is also the princess of Goguryeo..." Gangzi thought that His Highness the King of Chu did not mention this important matter at all...

"Get out of here!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, raising his foot and signaling to the other party, "If you keep talking, I will take off my shoes."

“Not really, not really…” Gangzi was immediately obedient.

"You f#@￥@#!" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he had won, but also seemed like he had not won.

Forget it, forget it, I don’t want to think about these unlucky things.

"Your Highness, the situation is now clear. In your opinion, should we prepare to set off earlier?"

"How can it be so fast?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand and then said, "These days, Uncle Qin is in charge of the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate, and I am not interested in getting involved. However, there is one thing we must finish - that is the matter of Loulan joining the Western Turks."

Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu has said that he wants to "conquer Loulan before establishing his fiefdom", Loulan is bound to be razed to the ground by the Tang cavalry.

In the evening, His Royal Highness the King of Chu took Zhang Zhenxuan to visit the courtyard where Qin Qiong lived, but unfortunately, when he entered the courtyard, Guo Xiaoke and Duan Zhixuan were having dinner with Qin Qiong.

"Uncle Qin, Mr. Guo, Xiao Duan, are you eating?" - His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very skilled in the art of judging people by their appearance and serving them the right dishes.

"..." Qin Qiong put down his chopsticks after hearing this, then glanced at Duan Zhixuan who looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "Your Highness, General Duan is just straightforward, you don't have to bother with him."

“Uncle Qin, why don’t you tell little Duan that I am still under 20 years old, and ask him not to bother with me.” As His Royal Highness the King of Chu said this, he came to Duan Zhixuan in a carefree manner and challenged him: “A tyrant, a tyrant, a tyrant—there is a tyrant in Chang’an City! What, you don’t accept it?”

"..." Duan Zhixuan tried to hold back after hearing this, but he couldn't help it in the end, and changed his mind: "How can you insult the emperor?! He is your elder..."

"You are talking nonsense, aren't you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu realized that Duan Zhixuan was not such a straightforward fool. "My royal grandfather is now recuperating in Yushan, and you want to divert the blame? Uncle Qin, remember this and add a note to the memorial to the tyrant. I really don't believe that I can't punish you!"

"General Duan, don't make yourself unhappy!" Qin Qiong reprimanded Duan Zhixuan with a dark face, and then said to His Royal Highness the King of Chu: "Okay, Your Highness, these things are just trivial matters, you don't have to care too much. At this moment, after many negotiations, the Western Regions Protectorate is about to be established, and I also plan to set off to Chang'an soon to report to Your Majesty, then you..."

"I will naturally go back with Uncle Qin." His Highness the King of Chu knew that Qin Qiong was not saying this to drive him away, but to remind him tactfully that there was no need to cause any more trouble. But once His Highness the King of Chu had decided on something, he had to do it: "But Uncle Qin, if you leave, someone has to stay, right?"

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Guo Xiaoke, who spoke at this time, suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Oh, so it turns out that General Guo, this pillar of white jade, is here to guard the Western Regions?!" Upon seeing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu clapped his hands and sighed, "This is truly cause for celebration... cause for celebration..."

"No..." Guo Xiaoke thought that if King Chu could flatter him so shamelessly, the burden on his shoulders would definitely not be lightened, so he pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, you don't want all the countries in the Western Regions to offer their princesses, do you?! This is not allowed! What a bad impact..."

"..." King Chu didn't know how his "reputation" for being a playboy got out. Anyway, he was very angry now: "Who the hell thinks about these things all day long? Do you think I'm the son of my useless great grandfather... um, great grandfather?!"

"……"Faced with such an "unfilial son of the royal family" and "good grandson of the royal family", the silence of Qin Qiong and others was deafening.

On the other hand, after making such a sudden turn, the King of Chu finally opened his map of the State of Yan and began to reveal his true intentions: "Didn't Loulan surrender to the Western Turks before? This matter is definitely not over! So, Uncle Qin, you can tell those rulers of the Western Regions that it is my intention. Whoever can capture Loulan and destroy it will own everything in Loulan. The Tang Dynasty will never get involved in it!"

"Your Highness..." Seeing His Highness the King of Chu speak so resolutely in such a firm tone, Qin Qiong suddenly understood why the envoy of Loulan sitting in the corner wanted to raise his hands and feet to vote in favor when they talked about the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate. It turned out that he also knew that the King of Chu was a petty person...

But regarding this matter...should I agree to it?

“Uncle Qin,” His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw Qin Qiong pursed his lips and said nothing at this moment, and immediately guessed the other party’s concerns: “A small country like Loulan that repeatedly betrays its allies will definitely not survive in a long struggle, so this king is doing a good deed, you have to understand the deep meaning of it!”

"Your Highness... please stop fooling me." Qin Qiong waved his hands helplessly after hearing this, and then he said carefully: "Loulan can be delisted, and the people in their country can all be relocated to other countries. In this way, your request can also be met. What do you think?"

"Hmm..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay... Uncle Qin, I know your concerns - you're just worried that continuing the killing spree will have a bad impact... But I have one more thing to say. When you announce this decision, it's best to tell those guys in advance what my original plan was - to prevent someone from feeling wronged after being honored."
