Chapter 1138 A Brotherly Night
"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's vulgar behavior made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fully realize what the performance art of "actions interpret words" is.
"Do you want to eat it or not?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at his troublesome elder brother and said in a very bad tone, "If you don't want to eat it, I'll feed it to the dogs!"
"Aren't you already feeding it?!" Although our Crown Prince is a cowardly elder brother, it is hard to resist him when he complains and feels sorry for himself: "I am your elder brother after all...but you scold me like a dog..."
"Heh... Don't think I will pity you if you say something sarcastic!" Upon hearing this, King Chu sneered and said, "With your stupid head, it's easier for me to teach a dog to know right from wrong than to teach you to judge the situation!"
"..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu's sharp words made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince no longer attempt to argue with him verbally.
So, he sighed silently in his heart and started eating.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not speak any more at this moment. He just silently moved the dishes on the table towards the Crown Prince and placed the food box under the stone table.
In this way, another two or three quarters of an hour passed and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finished his meal.
"Brother Kuan, this dish is not bad." The Crown Prince was full and relaxed. "But compared with the royal chef's cooking skills, it's still a little far behind."
"It's good to have something to eat." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu kicked his eldest brother's lame leg without saying a word: "I made this myself, am I wronging you?"
"Hiss...you brat..." The Crown Prince paid the price for his bad mouth: "You are the only one in the world who can kick me like this..."
"What can you do if the guy from Taiji Palace kicks your remaining good leg?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu curled his lips upon hearing this: "Brother, if you don't have the strength, then anything you say is just bullshit. Do you understand?"
“Brother Kuan… stop stabbing me in the heart…” The Crown Prince laughed bitterly, “But what you said is true. Right now I don’t even have a single available person around me…”
"Then I will return Hegan Chengji to you?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu saw that this gentleman was still unmoved, so he stopped pretending and said, "Don't even think about Yiai. As for Du He... he is still training in Qiongzhou. Do you think I should arrange for him to return to Chang'an now to help you?"
"Don't insult me, you brat..." Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's face turned bitter, and he waved his hand to refuse, "I'm just complaining..."
"What's the point of complaining? Real warriors should compete outside Xuanwu Gate - whoever wins gets to sit in that position, don't you think so, brother?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, and patted the other's shoulder affectionately: "My brother is 'handsome and majestic, benevolent and filial' - these are the praises that will be recorded in history books in the future. Don't be afraid, he is just an old general of Tiance, right? Let's fight him!"
"Brother Kuan...are you really helping me?!" Li Chengqian's eyes widened when he heard that.
“Pa!” Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu slapped his eldest brother on the head: “You idiot… you really believe it?!”
"..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was really annoyed by his younger brother.
But then, after receiving a slap from his younger brother, he felt a lot more relieved.
"Brother Kuan, you have quite a strong hand..." After the Crown Prince was dressed properly, he turned to look at the man in black in front of him: "But I'm curious... were those black-clad warriors in the past... all your work?"
"You guess it yourself." King Chu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Anyway, Master Dou has many followers."
"That's great." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not think his brother was being perfunctory, but said seriously: "At least big brother can be sure... that you... have the ability to protect yourself."
"So when you broke your leg that year... I thought you were stupid..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother, I'm sorry... I really didn't expect..."
"Why are we talking about this between brothers?" Li Chengqian smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then said, "Besides... now you and I both know that my leg will eventually become lame."
"Your mentality is worthy of learning from." His Royal Highness the King of Chu smiled upon hearing this, and then said, "Brother, aren't you curious about how you suddenly knew... those things?"
"Could this have anything to do with you?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Brother Kuan... do you have such a strange ability?"
"You have seen what I can do now." His Royal Highness the King of Chu spread his hands and said, "I guess it was the old Heavenly Master... who gave me the peach charm, and then I gave it to you."
"Hiss..." At this moment, Li Chengqian suddenly took a breath of cold air: "Brother Kuan... that is to say... after the peach charm was broken... the cause and effect began..."
"Your idea is quite unique." His Royal Highness the King of Chu thought for a moment, and then said, "But I don't understand why the old Taoist priest is like this... Brother, you won't blame me, right?"
"What do you think?" Li Chengqian turned his gaze to his brother.
But King Chu... obviously didn't buy it: "If you blame me, I will beat you up."
"Then I still don't blame you." Li Chengqian laughed when he heard that, and then... the laughter gradually died down, and he also turned silent.
Li Kuan waited for a long time before he heard his elder brother speak again: "Actually, brother Kuan... although sometimes the truths we learn are cruel, those cruel truths often allow us to learn lessons and know how to become a better self.
Instead of asking whether your elder brother will resent you, you might as well ask whether your elder brother will resent the old Taoist priest.
Big brother knows better. What you actually mean is that if big brother cares, he can just put the blame on you.
But brother Kuan...how could big brother bear to do that?
You are the eldest brother's closest brother, no matter in the past or now.
As for the old Taoist priest... actually, my eldest brother can understand him - the reason he does this is because he doesn't want my eldest brother to repeat the same mistake.
After all, our father values that position very much. Others may not know this, but don’t you and I know this too? "
"In my opinion, that tyrant is basically hopeless." After hearing his elder brother's heartfelt words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly let out a long sigh of relief: "But elder brother... you can still be saved."
"That's not what you said just now..." Li Chengqian blinked his eyes when he heard it: "You said I'm harder to train than a dog."
"That's the truth." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu didn't feel that he was slapped in the face at all: "With your little skill of cultivating qi, what do you think you can accomplish? When Gou Jian was--"
What His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to say is that King Goujian of Yue once slept on firewood and tasted gall.
But unfortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own different opinions.
“——Stop it, kid…” When his brother was halfway through his words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately raised his hand to stop him, signaling that the other party should stop talking: “Speaking of Gou Jian… Brother Kuan, your mouth… sounds like someone who has tasted feces…” (Note 1)
"Okay, okay, okay." Seeing that his elder brother dared to talk back to him, King Chu felt relieved: "Come on, my prince, I must practice with you today. Whoever loses will taste the feces, how about it?"
"Ah? Brother Kuan...don't!!!"
"You have no choice! Die!"
“Gaa ...
Just as the two brothers were arguing, a crow flew over the courtyard and dropped a piece of bird droppings on the stone table with a "crack", as if mocking the two brothers who were already adults but still behaved childishly...
