Chapter 878 Meeting Uncle
Because he was worried that his uncle might be upset, our filial King Chu didn't dare to stay in Yu Mansion for long. After the old man hurriedly accompanied Master Yu for dinner, he only had time to give Yu Lian'er the New Year gift he prepared for her at the corner of the corridor, and then left without looking back: "Lian'er, don't be sad, I am actually more sad than you - I will bring Sizi to see you later!"
"Hmph... It's enough to let the little princess Hou Sizi come. Who needs you to come--" Yu Lian'er stood on the steps, looking at her lover who was walking towards the courtyard, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"You want me to come--" Although His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu had gone far away, Yu Lian'er could imagine the expression on her lover's face when he said this just by listening to his voice.
She was so proud that she wished the whole world knew that she liked him...
"This is actually pretty good..." Yu Lian'er was stunned for a while, then turned around with a smile: "From now on... I will always cherish you..."
-------------------------------------
"Uncle!" - After teasing the girl he liked, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu rushed to the Mansion of Duke Qiao as if he was in a hurry. But when he entered the door, he found that the Mansion of Duke Qiao seemed particularly deserted today.
"Cousin, you're here." Chai Lingwu, who had been waiting at the screen wall, looked at his late cousin and spoke weakly, "Go and see my father. I don't know what has happened to him. He went to the martial arts arena to practice martial arts early in the morning. It seems that he is going to kill Yuwen Shiji."
"My uncle is still angry." Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu immediately ran towards the martial arts arena. Seeing this, Chai Lingwu hurried to catch up: "What anger do you want to calm down? My father has sent all the servants home. I don't know what he wants to do..."
"..." Li Kuan had already realized that the situation was not simple, so he didn't say anything more and just quickened his pace. But in the end, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked Chai Lingwu: "Where is cousin Zhewei?"
"He's on duty in the army." Chai Lingwu said unhappily, "I don't know what's wrong with my father..."
As the two brothers were talking, they arrived at the Chai family's martial arts training ground.
At this time, Chai Shao was shirtless, standing in the middle of the martial arts arena, brandishing a long spear. The wide and fierce offensive moves made King Chu's eyelids twitch wildly: No... Uncle, this is...
"Dad, Kuan Ge'er is here." Chai Lingwu saw that his father didn't notice them, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Can you take a rest for a while before practicing?"
"Kuan'er?" Chai Shao, who had been thinking about something, stopped what he was doing because of his son's reminder. He turned his head and looked at the sidelines: "You kid still remember to come and see your uncle? Tell me, what is your uncle's rank?"
"Ah?" His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu knew that he should play dumb now: "Uncle? What number? As soon as I left the palace, I came to you!"
"Heh..." Chai Shao looked up at the sun after hearing this, and then said, "It's already past dinner time and you're just here, you little brat... You're not being honest!"
"Uh..." Seeing that there was no way to argue, the King of Chu had to admit, "I have been to the residences of my two mentors before, but I have always been concerned about you, uncle!" As His Royal Highness the King of Chu spoke, he quickly ran to the weapons rack and brought the clothes that Chai Shao had placed on it to the other party: "Come, come, uncle, Kuan'er will change your clothes for you."
"Don't come here!" Hearing this, Chai Shao put the spear back on the rack, took the clothes from his nephew and put them on himself: "Kuan'er, there's nothing wrong with your uncle, you don't need to worry."
"I'm not worried." His Royal Highness the King of Chu blinked his eyes when he heard this: "Uncle, you are a hero who rode his horse across both sides of the Yellow River. This little wave won't scare you!"
"Hey... don't let your uncle Qin hear this." Chai Shao shook his head with a half-smile, "Okay, you have a conscience and still know how to visit your uncle. But Kuan'er, there is someone you should go see right now."
"Are you talking about my uncle Dou?" After thinking for a moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu said, "There is no rush. It is still early."
"Duke Dou is no longer confident in your majesty." Chai Shao felt that the Prince of Chu might not realize the seriousness of the situation. "Yesterday's riot was indeed caused by my uncle's intention to beat Yuwen Shiji. But Kuan'er, Duke Dou was planning to kill Yuwen Shiji during the chaos. Not only Yuwen Shiji, but if Changsun Wuji hadn't been smart enough to stand behind Yuchi Jingde and Guo Xiaoke, he would have been in trouble too."
"Ah?" It was only then that His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu realized the seriousness of the problem, but his mind was always weird: "Uncle, why did you miss Chu Suiliang?"
"Him? Isn't he the emperor's attendant? How come he is involved?" Upon hearing this, Chai Shao couldn't help but frowned: "No, he is a disciple of Yu Shinan, so he and you are from the same school..."
"Chu Suiliang is a man who knows how to fish in troubled waters." His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt it necessary to remind his uncle: "Uncle, this man is not simple, you should be careful in the future."
"Hmm..." Chai Shao nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Kuan'er, tell your uncle the truth. You said before that your father hid assassins behind the screen..."
"Oh, I was just kidding." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn't want his uncle to take risks for him again: "You don't have to take it seriously."
"You brat... you dare to make up all kinds of nonsense..." Chai Shao shook his head after hearing this, then reached out and patted his nephew's shoulder: "It's the end of the year, and you're one year older. You should be more prudent in your actions in the future. This time when you go to the northwest, take your cousin Lingwu with you, and let him gain some experience."
"Dad, you agreed?!" - Chai Lingwu didn't expect that the thing he had begged for but received no response from before, actually happened in the blink of an eye!
"On the battlefield, everything must be done according to the commander's orders. If you dare to disobey orders, be careful of being punished!" Chai Shao looked at his overjoyed son, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a bit: "Kuan'er, you better remember this! Don't show mercy to this brat for your uncle's sake!"
"Ah..." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "But uncle, my cousin Ling Wu is also very prestigious in my place..."
