The next morning, Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and the people the court had prepared were already waiting outside the palace.
Li Kuan looked back at the tall palace, got on the carriage, and headed toward Youzhou.
.........
On the city wall of Chang 'an, Li Shiming's eyes flashed with guilt and regret, which was then replaced by determination.
"Kuan 'er, wait for Imperial Father. Imperial Father will bring you back very soon.”
Li Shi Min murmured, his desire to quickly repel the Turkic army growing stronger.
He was afraid that the child he owed would not be able to last until he went to pick him up, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to explain to her in the afterlife.
"Luo Yi, if anything happens to Kuan 'er, I, Li Shi Min, will personally kill your entire family.”
Li Shi Min swore in his heart.
"Your Majesty, King Chu only brought two guards with him before he left. He didn't even bring a maid. Is it possible?"
Gao Shichang said to Li Shimin hesitantly.
"There's no need. It's not suitable to bring women along in the army. I believe those two guards will take good care of him.”
Before Gao Shichang could finish, Li Shimin interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, why don't you send His Highness King Chu off directly? After all, King Chu is going."
Zhangsun Wuji asked Li Shiming.
He was Li Shimin's right-hand man and the Empress 'brother. Zhangsun Wuji knew how much Li Shimin loved the King of Chu.
This kind of love was not only a father's love for his child, but also guilt.
"It's not like Kuan 'er won't be coming back. Besides, this brat went to say goodbye to his mother yesterday, but he didn't say goodbye to his father.”
Li Shi Min pretended to be angry.
However, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others who had been with Li Shiming for a long time saw the worry hidden deep in his eyes.
They looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.
Moreover, Li Shiming seemed to be angry that Li Kuan, as a prince, didn't know etiquette. He was jealous, jealous, and jealous of his wife.
Empress Zhangsun, who was in the royal palace, looked at the direction of Youzhou and prayed for Li Kuan.
Li Chengqian, who was standing behind Li Shiming, heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance.
The little fatty Li Tai looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
Thinking of what Li Kuan had said in Xiande Hall yesterday, and thinking of the little things that he had spent with Li Kuan, he felt enlightened.
.........
Li Kuan, who was in the carriage, didn't know how many people were interested in his trip to Youzhou Province.
Right now, he was recalling the introduction of Luo Yi in his memories. There was the information he had collected yesterday, as well as the memories of his previous life.
Know yourself and know your enemy.
If he wanted to complete the first mission issued by the system, he had to be extremely cautious.
A few days later, in Youzhou.
Li Kuan finally met his enemy, the Prince of Yan, Luo Yi.
"Hahaha, I thought it would be the Crown Prince or the King of Wei who came to Youzhou. I didn't expect it to be His Highness the King of Chu.”
The moment Li Kuan arrived at Youzhou City, he had seen a 50-year-old man striding towards him in armor with a sword on his waist.
Li Kuan looked at the man who was walking toward him carefully.
He was eight feet tall, his small eyes were emitting a cold light, and he had a beard.
Just by looking at his face, Li Kuan knew that Luo Yi was not a simple person.
After all, could a simple person be conferred the title of King of a different surname?
"As the Crown Prince, you should listen to the teachings of your father and learn the way of governing the country. The King of Wei is still young and is afraid of delaying the important matters of the King of Yan, so only I, the King of Chu, can come.”
Li Kuan said indifferently to Luo Yi.
Hearing this, Luo Yi's eyes narrowed, emitting waves of cold light.
"It seems that King Chu is not a simple person. Just this courage alone is worthy of being Li Shiming's son.”
Luo Yi thought to himself.
"Your Highness King Chu is truly honored to be able to come to this Luo's place as a guest! This Luo will definitely entertain His Highness King Chu well. Hahaha!"
Luo Yi laughed and said to Li Kuan, emphasizing the words "guest" and "host".
A show of strength?
Hearing Luo Yi's words, Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Thank you, Prince Yan. You know that I've been sick since I was young. If you didn't take care of me when I was supervising the army, I'm afraid I wouldn't live long.”
Luo Yi's laughter stopped abruptly. His heart tightened, and he began to pay more attention to Li Kuan.
What Li Kuan meant was that if you didn't take good care of me, you would lose this amulet if something happened to me.
"Your Highness King Chu is tired from the long journey. It's already late today, so you should rest well. Tomorrow, I'll welcome you again.”
Luo Yi laughed and ended the topic.
"Yang Ji, bring His Highness King Chu to his residence.”
"Yes, Marshal!"
Hearing this name, Li Kuan and Yue Fei, who was behind him, were both moved.
"Pengju, go back with them. Tell father that I'm fine here. The king of Yan is going to hold a banquet for me tomorrow!”
Li Kuan turned around and said to Yue Fei. Then, he exchanged a look with Yue Fei.
Yue Fei understood. He bowed to Li Kuan and turned around to leave with the team.
After Yue Fei left, Li Kuan took Yang Zaixing and followed Yang Ji to his residence.
Yang Zaixing was stopped by Luo Yi's soldiers before he could take two steps.
Li Kuan turned to look at Luo Yi and said with a hint of ridicule,"What, this king can't even bring a guard? This time, this king didn't even bring a maid. This king was still counting on him to take care of this king's daily life.”
Luo Yi looked at Li Kuan coldly.
Li Kuan looked at him fearlessly.
After a while, Luo Yi laughed and said,"Of course. After all, not a single one of the hundred thousand soldiers in my camp understands the habits of His Highness King Chu. If there's anything that I don't greet properly, I'm afraid I'll anger His Highness.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand to signal the soldiers to let him through.
"Thank you, Prince Yan."
Li Kuan then led Yang Zaixing to his residence.
Li Kuan understood that Luo Yi was reminding him that he had an army of more than a hundred thousand soldiers and that he should not act rashly.
"This King Chu is not simple! You're so young, but your courage is outstanding!"
Looking at Li Kuan's back, Luo Yi sighed softly.
"Marshal, why did you add the sickly King Chu to the list when you asked Li Shiming to send a prince as a hostage?”
Luo Yi's deputy general asked Luo Yi in confusion.
"Sick?"
Luo Yi sneered.
"Li Shiming cares more about this sickly guy than his Di son.”
"Why?"
"Why? Hmph hmph, you only need to know that if King Chu doesn't die, this marshal will have nothing to worry about.”
After Luo Yi finished speaking, he ignored the deputy general who was standing in the same place with a confused expression and turned around to walk into the distance.
