Chapter 1057 I Want to Give This King a Surprise
"Second brother..." Upon learning that Li Kuan had actually sent people to secretly protect the hero Mimi, Zhinu was immediately shocked: "You are such a good brother... I really admire you..."
"Heh..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu sneered, "Don't change the subject, kid! What's the matter, His Royal Highness Prince Jin? You're so young, yet you dare to throw away the good things that your second brother gave you. Are you afraid that your second brother will harm you?"
To be honest, King Chu now regrets letting his little brother Zhinu run wild - although he had arranged guards around his brother, King Chu didn't pay much attention to what the brat did privately every day, because in King Chu's view, as long as his brother was not in danger, there was no need for him to interfere.
"Brother, don't be angry." Li Zhi also realized that he had done something wrong, but he immediately began to make amends for himself: "Actually... I am just naughty occasionally and give the pills to Secret - not often, not often..."
"Really?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu looked at his clever little brother, the pressure in his eyes becoming more and more intense.
"Of course!" At this moment, Zhinu was sweating profusely when facing his second brother who was about to get angry. "Second brother, the pills given by Taoist Zhenxuan are really effective - look at me and Sizi, we have hardly ever been sick since we were young."
“Alas…” Because he didn’t want his younger brother to be afraid to tell him the truth in the future because of fear of him, the second elder brother, the King of Chu thought again and again and decided to let this matter go: “Zhi Nu, when the Queen Mother was pregnant with you and Sizi, she was once bullied by a bastard. Although the second elder brother brought a group of brothers to teach that old guy a lesson afterwards, but… no one can say for sure whether you and Sizi were affected.
So, when I came back from the grassland, I felt so distressed when I saw you and Sizi, both of whom were still in their cradles. "When the King of Chu said this, he suddenly sighed, "I was like this when I was just born, so I was particularly worried that you and Sizi would be like me... go through the gates of hell on the road to growth..."
"Second brother..." Zhinu was obviously hearing his brother talking about his past for the first time: "When you were a child...did you really have a serious illness...as fourth brother said?"
"Ah? How did Qingque know about this?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu remembered that he seemed to have never mentioned this matter in front of his brothers and sisters?
"My fourth brother accidentally heard it when he eavesdropped on the conversation between our mother and father." Zhinu pursed her lips and said, "So my fourth brother warned me that your journey has been particularly difficult, and we, as your younger brothers, should try to avoid causing you any trouble."
"Zhi Nu ah..." After Li Zhi finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was stunned for a moment, then he said with a straight face: "I will correct one thing now. Your fourth brother is the second brother's favorite brother."
"Wow..." Although Zhinu knew that his second brother didn't want the atmosphere to be too sad and was teasing him on purpose, this did not prevent him, the ninth child who had left home, from breaking down his defenses: "Second brother...you said before--"
"Ah..." His Highness the King of Chu did not want his brother to bring up the past in front of him, so he immediately changed the subject: "Zhi Nu, Master Yu will be here in at most half a month. Before that, you have to memorize the book "The Art of War" by heart.
After all, you are not as gifted as your second brother in military tactics, so you have to consider how to "make up for your shortcomings with hard work". Oh, I forgot to say, if you don't get into trouble with Master Yu within half a year, then your second brother will not take you with him to attack Tianzhu this time.
Of course, don't think you can stay in Qiongzhou. Second brother will send someone to forcibly send you back to Chang'an, and will also send a letter saying that you are just playing around all day, and second brother thinks he is unable to discipline you, so he asks father and mother to educate you."
"Second brother!" At this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin was filled with grief and indignation: "You are treating me like a Tibetan..."
"You're a jerk, you're a jerk..." After the Prince of Chu had finished strengthening his brother, he then told his own plan: "Anyway, second brother, let me put this here: I don't care about other things, but you, Li Zhi, must not be a loser."
"Second brother, you are almost losing your mind..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin originally thought that coming to Qiongzhou would allow him to bid farewell to the world of suffering and books, but who knew that after just two days of good life, he would be back to square one again.
"Second brother doesn't want to lose you, 'Li Zhi', so he has to be rational." His Royal Highness the King of Chu knew that his brother was playing a pun, so he just played along: "Well, don't expect to get away with it by throwing a tantrum. You have to walk your own path in the future. What second brother can do now is to let you learn some useful skills..."
After all... in the future, the second brother and Xiaojiu, two brothers, will be far away from each other and sometimes they may encounter situations where they are out of reach.
By then, if Li Zhi wanted to protect his people, he would really have to rely on himself...
-------------------------------------
Half a month later, Yu Shinan and Xiao Yu, the two world-famous "peerless scholars", came to Qiongzhou with their families.
"Master Yu, Master Xiao!" His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had been waiting at the dock until "the flowers were almost withered", saw the two old men getting off the sampan one after another. He immediately rushed up to give the two old men a "ferocious" hug.
But... when he saw Empress Xiao coming down from the sampan right behind him, and the beautiful lady supporting her, King Chu could not help but stop and say, "Grandma Xiao... Master Xiao said in the letter earlier that you have just recovered from a serious illness, but... you should also take some time to recuperate and take good care of yourself. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
And Sister Qingrui... Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came to Qiongzhou... Could it be that you wanted to give me a surprise? Well... I am indeed very surprised..."
Wait...that's not right! How did these two get together?
"Boy, come here, let Master Yu take a good look at you!" Yu Shinan, who had been holding back all the way just to watch this good show, was not going to let the always arrogant King Chu go: "After several years of separation, your master missed you so much!"
"And here's me!" Although Xiao Yu has retired, he's not ready to be idle: "Haven't you always claimed to be a 'water balance expert'? Then let me ask you, how come Lian'er is out of confinement, but there's still no news from my Wanwan?
You are being so partial to one and neglecting the other, which makes it hard for me to hold my head up in front of your Master Yu..."
