Chapter 1031 Two Strange Swords
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The words of His Majesty Li II made Changsun Wuji a little confused: "I am only thinking about you..."
"Wuji, are you really thinking about me wholeheartedly?" As soon as Emperor Li II said this, Changsun Wuji's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"I...I have always been..." Zhangsun Wuji felt that he had to argue for this matter: "Your Majesty...it was you who..."
"I was wrong before." His Majesty Li II sighed and said, "I will never make the same mistake again."
"Your Majesty, what happened to you recently?" Changsun Wuji looked at the increasingly unfamiliar Emperor Li Er in front of him. He felt something was wrong: "Why did you... suddenly... change your mind?"
"The Battle of Anshi City made me realize one thing." His Majesty Li II sighed after hearing this: "I always thought Kuan'er was like me, but now I think that's not the case - he is more like his grandmother..."
"..."Since His Majesty Li II mentioned Empress Taimu, Changsun Wuji knew that he should shut up.
"Of course, there may be some other reasons." Seeing that Zhangsun Wuji was silent, His Majesty Li II seemed to question his words. He thought for a moment and said, "I have always had a feeling that I have forgotten something important..."
"Your Majesty, this is a sign of overwork. Would you like me to ask the imperial physician to come and diagnose you?" Upon hearing this, Changsun Wuji's tone immediately became tense.
"I have been examined by the imperial physician countless times, and I am fine." Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II waved his hand, then stood up and walked in front of Changsun Wuji: "Wuji, I am the emperor and you are a subject. In the past, we could talk about anything, and this should have been a good story.
But...from now on...regarding Kuan'er, as long as I don't bring it up, you should not touch on it again. Do you...understand?"
"Your Majesty... understands!" Changsun Wuji responded in a deep voice without hesitation.
But... no one knows what he feels at this moment.
Of course, no one cared.
-------------------------------------
His Royal Highness the King of Chu is eager to return home.
So the next day he took a group of Dou's retainers and left Anshi City directly.
When His Majesty Li II learned the news, the King of Chu had already walked several miles away.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu left behind two Mo Daos, saying they were gifts for the Prince of Shu and the Prince of Wei." In the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiaogong looked at His Majesty the Second, who was sitting behind the desk in front of him with a depressed look, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said in a measured tone: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said... we must let the two younger brothers feel involved..."
"Heh..." After hearing his son's lame excuse, Emperor Li Er couldn't help but sneer, "What that kid meant was that the third and fourth brothers would take his place in exercising his authority as the second brother, and none of the younger brothers and sisters would get angry. And his move was also to remind Qingque and Ke'er not to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have. Similarly, since he, Li Kuan, gave his younger brother Mo Dao, it meant that if someone bullied them one day in the future, the second brother would not sit idly by.
As for Cheng Qian, since Kuan'er has helped him to say and do everything he should do, if he still has a conscience, he will keep this friendship firmly in his heart. Even if his brothers really make mistakes in the future, they should be forgiven if possible, but if they cannot be forgiven... they should be spared from death for Kuan'er's sake..." When His Majesty Li II said this, he suddenly sighed: "I am now... more and more envious of my sons..."
"Uh..." Li Cunxiao, who was originally shocked, couldn't hold back after hearing the last words of His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty... you didn't have the conditions that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had back then..."
"That's right!" Upon hearing this, His Majesty Li II glared at Li Xiaogong unhappily and said, "How can I, as a son, be as favored as Kuan'er, as a grandson?"
"The one who favored His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was Empress Taimu." Li Cunxiao felt that he should say something fair: "Your Majesty... there is no need for you to be angry with me..."
"..." His Majesty Li II has lost his temper now.
"Your Majesty, who are you going to give the command of the 2,200-man Modao team left behind by His Majesty the Prince of Chu?" Seeing that His Majesty Li Er was silent, Li Xiaogong had something to say: "Your Majesty... I am not bragging - if you hand over these 2,200 men to me, I guarantee that -"
"Oh, you Li Xiaogong with thick eyebrows and big eyes!" Li Xiaogong had just unfolded the map of Yan State when suddenly several figures rushed out from outside the door, forcing him to close the map of Yan State.
"Your Majesty." Duke Lu Cheng Yaojin, who had just entered the room, bowed to His Majesty Li Er and then began to attack Li Xiaogong personally: "You are so rude! Why should you command all the elite troops left by His Majesty the King of Chu? Are you the bravest fighter here and the most powerful in military tactics?!"
"Yes, yes!" Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, and Yuchi Gong and Li Ji, who were standing behind him and had just finished paying respects to Emperor Li Er, nodded at the same time and said, "It's not your turn!"
"..." At this time, Changsun Wuji, who followed these three people into the study, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why didn't I realize before that these colleagues are all talented? And what they say is unpleasant...
"Your Majesty, how about..." Li Xiaogong couldn't stand Cheng Yaojin's tough tactics, so he made a quick decision and chose to settle for the next best thing: "You can give me one thousand..."
"Do you think I'm going to distribute the mutton?" His Majesty Li II said unhappily, "I plan to hand over these two thousand two hundred people to Li Ji to lead."
"Your Majesty, can I go to the Duke of Ying and serve as a vanguard officer?" Cheng Yaojin saw that the situation had been resolved, so he took advantage of the victory and said, "I just want to experience how easy it is to use the troops of His Majesty the King of Chu."
"..." When His Majesty Li Er heard Cheng Yaojin say this, he really couldn't refuse, so he looked at Li Ji, who was standing aside and couldn't hide his smile: "Mao Gong, what do you think about this?"
"Your Majesty, this matter should be decided by you." Li Ji knew that the more it was at a time like this, the more cautious he had to be - Your Majesty was not His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and if he really made the other party unhappy, it would definitely not be solved by just getting a beating.
"In that case... Zhijie, you should follow Maogong." Upon seeing this, His Majesty Li II immediately made his decision: "But I have to remind you - among the 2,200 men, 200 of them are specifically responsible for guarding the black powder, so you can only command 2,000 men."
