Chapter 1011: I Can’t See Through the Mountains Beyond the Mountains
After Li Kuan walked down the hillside and turned a corner, he saw Zhang Zhenxuan and Yuan Tiangang who had been waiting for him silently beside him.
"Oh?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not surprised that Zhang Zhenxuan could do such a considerate thing, but he was surprised by another person: "Gangzi, what are you doing?"
"I am mainly worried that Your Highness will do something stupid." Yuan Tiangang blinked his eyes when he heard this, and then pointed at Qu Changsun who was not far away: "This guy never took his hand off the hilt before."
"Tsk..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu said disdainfully, "Even if he brings a team of people up there, they won't be enough for me to fight back and forth."
"Then I'll go up and slap him twice now?" Yuan Tiangang rolled up his sleeves and said, "This guy has been staring at me and Zhenxuan with ill intentions..."
"..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu glanced at Yuan Tiangang, then stretched out his arm helplessly and put his hand on the other's shoulder: "Can you please stop making trouble for me?"
"Your Highness..." Yuan Tiangang felt wronged, so he said, "You don't know... Qu Changsun almost rushed forward with the Black Armor Army just now. With his condition, he still had the nerve to shout 'protect the emperor'... Bah!" Yuan Tiangang said this, turned his head and spat to the side: "I feel disgusted!"
"Where are you spitting?" Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu tugged at Yuan Tiangang's neck in annoyance: "The wind blew and it almost flew onto me!"
"Uh..." Yuan Tiangang was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Your Highness, are you targeting me?"
The wind is clearly blowing towards me!
“How could that be possible…” His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn’t know why he was in such a good mood. He turned around and said to Zhang Zhenxuan who was watching the show on the side: “Zhenxuan Zhenxuan, come here.”
"Your Highness..." Zhang Zhenxuan knew he couldn't escape, so he stepped forward silently and honestly offered his proud neck to His Highness the King of Chu to put his arms around his shoulders.
As the sun sets, there are flying birds in the distant mountains, and sporadic birds flying into the woods. Here, the retainers and the master of the house walk side by side.
On the high slope behind them, Emperor Li II was staring at the backs of the three people in a daze.
"I can't see through the mountains beyond the mountains~~" - Suddenly, the high-spirited His Royal Highness the King of Chu began to scream at the top of his voice: "The breeze passes over my shoulders..." (Note 1)
His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's free and easy singing style obviously did not attract everyone's appreciation.
Zhang Zhenxuan and Yuan Tiangang were the first victims. They just looked at each other silently and pretended to be intoxicated.
There is no other way. When I am away from home, I have to maintain my dignity as the head of the family...
It was just hard for the two of them, following the master of the family like a parade... going around in circles and embarrassing themselves.
-------------------------------------
Two days later, in Anshi City, in a large house next to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Haha~~" After getting enough rest, His Royal Highness the King of Chu regained his energy again: "Zhenxuan, have Huairen and the others arrived?"
"Your Highness, they arrived at Anshi City half an hour ago, but right now... His Majesty is looking for them to talk." Zhang Zhenxuan had been meditating outside the King of Chu's bedroom. When he saw His Highness the King of Chu asking a question, he immediately opened his eyes, stood up and walked into the room: "According to Xuan Ce's analysis, His Majesty should be curious about how you captured Weili City."
"Hmph..." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu could not help but sneer, then stood up and began to dress: "To put it bluntly, he just wants to know whether I can use the same method I used to capture Weili City to attack Chang'an in the future."
"You exposed your ambition too early in Jinshan." Like Zhang Zhenxuan, Yuan Tiangang had been quietly guarding His Royal Highness the King of Chu to rest these past two days, but he was guarding outside the courtyard: "--Is it all right now? You have enough 'engineering equipment' and manpower."
"Then I'm going to slap myself now?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. After taking the outer robe handed over by Zhang Zhenxuan, he dressed leisurely and said, "As long as that fool agrees to let me take Changle Sizi and Lanling away, I'll give them to him."
"Your Highness, no!" - Because Yuan Tiangang walked into the courtyard, the other Dou family retainers who were guarding the courtyard also walked in one after another. At this time, the one who spoke out to stop His Highness the King of Chu was his trusted adviser Wang Xuance: "This knife...if you hand it over, it will be on your neck in the future!"
"Well then." Since it was Xuan Ce who spoke, His Royal Highness the King of Chu naturally followed suit: "I will listen to you, but...Xuan Ce, as for how to bring my sisters out of Chang'an...well...anyway, I'll leave this matter to you to plan!"
“No…” Wang Xuance suddenly realized that he had been fooled: “Your Highness, so… you are waiting for me here?!”
"Haha... that's not entirely true." His Royal Highness the King of Chu laughed when he heard this: "The gunpowder we are using now is not the most powerful. When I have time in the future, I will definitely make some powerful gunpowder for you to see. And the gunpowder tied to the Eight Oxen Crossbow... is actually quite crudely made. I have something more powerful that I haven't brought out yet."
“Your Highness, you are amazing!” Before Wang Xuance could express his shock at His Highness the King of Chu’s words, Yuwen Qing at the side was shocked first: “You are a man of great military and literary skills, and you can be a model for future generations—”
"——Yuwen Qing, wait a minute..." Seeing that his tiger-crazy friend was ready to do something, His Royal Highness the King of Chu couldn't help but twitch his lips, and then began to assign tasks to him: "I'm very hungry now, so, go to the kitchen and make some roasted lamb legs for me."
"Okay!" Yuwen Qing said nothing and walked out of the house.
After he left, Pei Xingyan, Jiang Sheng, Shan Tianchang, Xiong Wushuang and others also greeted His Royal Highness the King of Chu in turn: "Your Highness."
"Okay, stop surrounding me." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand, signaling everyone to make way. Then he walked out of the room, stood in the courtyard and looked next door.
Then...
"Li Huairen! Don't you know to come and pay your respects to me first? How do you get the job of the rotating chief secretary of the Prince of Chu's Palace? You go to other people's houses to collect your salary, right?! Huh?!" The loud shout from His Highness the Prince of Chu was earth-shattering.
Li Huairen, who was originally being questioned by His Majesty Li Er in the City Lord's Mansion next door, was frightened on the spot: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Please let me go. Kuan Ge'er is angry... The consequences will be serious!"
