Chapter 1083 The Speed of the King of Chu's Change of Face
"Xiao Ke..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu was lying on the window frame at this moment, looking at the lively crowd below, his eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth were smiling: "When my second brother led the army to defeat the Eastern Turks, he sighed that the country was so beautiful that even a hero could not help but be infinitely nostalgic for it.
But in fact, those were just the words that my second brother said casually when he was young and frivolous.
It is true that the country is beautiful, but the peaceful and prosperous scene before us is more precious and worth cherishing, isn't it? "
"Second brother, you are right." Li Ke nodded and said with a guilty look: "Just now... I said something wrong..."
"You're a little brother, and I'm an elder brother. If we have to be secretive when talking to each other, then what's the point of being brothers? Back then in the Taiji Hall, I said that we are brothers for life. Second brother, I remind you that this is not something you say casually because you are young and frivolous."
"Second brother..." Li Ke choked up for a moment: "Over the years... I have always known that if something happens to me, most people cannot be trusted, but you, second brother, will definitely protect me..."
"Alas... the key is that nothing has happened to you since then..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said with regret: "My second brother also wants to go through fire and water for you!"
"Ha..." Li Ke laughed dumbly when he heard this: "Second brother, is this true?"
"What else?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why don't you go back to Chang'an and open the Xuanwu Gate to try?"
"Forget it then..." Li Ke was afraid that this would be a "failure", but he still gave a legitimate reason: "Brother, it's not that I don't believe in your ability, I just think I can't cause you so much trouble."
"When we were young, it seemed like the sky would fall if we got into trouble once." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled when he heard this: "But now looking back, it's just a wisp of smoke in the memory, which will be blown away by the wind."
"Brother, you are talking about me and Qingque. When have you ever felt like the sky is falling?" Li Ke couldn't help but retort, "Just like Sizi and Zhinu nowadays, not only are they not afraid after getting into trouble, but even if our father and mother come looking for them, they are too lazy to run away."
“I need to strengthen my education in this area, otherwise I will suffer.” His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this, and then said calmly: “Actually… Xiaoke, over the years… your second brother is not lawless, but has always been walking in an invisible chaos…
Because my innocence was shattered when my grandmother passed away."
It’s not that I’m not afraid, it’s that I don’t care at all.
"Second brother..." Li Ke really wanted to slap himself twice.
"Let's not talk about this." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand after hearing this: "In fact, Xiao Ke, you should also understand why I must take you with me to fight against Tubo this time. You will be the King of Shu in the future. Although this Shu land has natural moats to defend, but natural moats can still be broken. Only the walls built by the people's hearts are truly indestructible fortresses.
You have the royal blood of two dynasties in you, which is invaluable.
Therefore, there will definitely be many ambitious people who want to take advantage of your identity to cause trouble in the future.
You have to be aware of this.”
"I know, second brother..." Li Ke whispered, "I will never be deceived by others and do something that will disappoint you!"
"Alas... you kid..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu originally wanted to talk about the topic in more depth, but seeing Li Ke's statement, he thought about it and decided to leave a few more guards around this kid in the future: "Forget it, forget it. Second brother knows that you know what's going on, but even so, Second brother can't help but nag and remind you. There's nothing I can do about it."
"Brother, I know. Just like I know you don't have that intention, but I still can't help but risk getting beaten... to tell you those words." Li Ke wiped his eyes after hearing that: "Brother, I still say the same thing, I won't let you down."
"Since you insist on bringing it up again, I can answer your previous question now." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu did not intend to leave his brother with too many doubts: "Xiao Ke, our father has many sons, right?"
"Ah..." Li Ke responded when he heard it.
"But he only has one Tang Dynasty."
The answer from His Royal Highness the King of Chu was extremely beyond Li Ke's expectations.
So he remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but he was truly deeply shocked by his second brother's two short sentences.
But His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn't bother to care about his stunned brother. After revealing the secret, he went back to the dinner table and started to eat with relish.
"Li Kuan'er? Why are you eating alone here instead of going back?" - But just as His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu picked up the bowl and chopsticks and hadn't taken a few bites of the food, he was startled by a voice coming from beside him.
"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, who had just picked up a piece of roast goose meat with chopsticks, turned around and saw Aya sitting on the stool beside him with a huff, her hands on her hips, kicking her waist with her feet while speaking: "I worked so hard to prepare the medicinal food for you, and you don't want to go back and eat it?!"
“No…” Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu was just sighing at the true nature of the women in Shu, but… you, Aya, can’t be unruly: “I think I’m the head of the family, right?”
"Ang!!!" Aya became even angrier after hearing that: "You are the head of the family, so you are so great?! Do you know how difficult it is to make the medicinal food I prepared for you?
I spent two years collecting herbs to prepare this Yang-nourishing and bone-strengthening soup for you, and you're just wasting it like this?!"
"How can it be wasted..." When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu heard the words "nourishing yang and strengthening bones", he felt that this kick was not unacceptable: "I have a big appetite, I will go eat in a while."
"Nonsense!" Aya was so angry that she wanted to attack again, but when she looked at Li Ke, who had come to his senses and was looking at her with an ambiguous expression, she took two deep breaths and resisted the urge to attack again: "Medicinal food depends on the time! If the time is too late, the effect will not be good!"
"That's fine." His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand and said, "Aya... I am in very good health!"
“That’s not right!” Aya rolled her eyes when she heard that. “Forget it, forget it… It’s also my fault for not telling you in advance. It’s just a pity… This gift is discounted after all…”
"How could that be?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu had already stood up, and patted the small footprint on his waist: "Miss Aya's love for me is evident to all! How could I not know which is more important, this medicinal food or Miss Aya's love?"
"..." After all, this top playboy from Chang'an knows how to talk. When His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said this, Miss Aya, who was about to get angry, suddenly stopped being angry: "Li Kuan'er, you really know how to talk!"
"Second brother...you really can..." Li Ke couldn't help but give a thumbs up to his second brother.
"Get out of my way!" After glaring at his dishonest brother, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu grabbed Aya who was reaching out to the old turtle soup and said, "Aya, there are bad guys here. Let's go back first. As for these meals, they are not very good. Let Li Ke eat them by himself. Don't you know that he is born to be easy to feed!
As for you, don't worry, I will ask someone to find a famous chef to cook a special meal for you."
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Aya couldn't help but sway left and right with emotion when she heard this: "I want to eat chicken feet!"
"No problem!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu waved his hand and said heroically, "I will arrange it right away!"
"Hey? Second brother!" Li Ke felt extremely sad when he heard what Li Kuan said. He was clearly the "born rich" person as his second brother said just now, but now he has become "born to be easy to raise"?
Second brother, you change your expression too quickly!
