Duke Zhao's Mansion.
Today is the day when the eldest grandson Pingting returns home from the palace.
Changsun Wuji also held a small family banquet in his mansion, and also invited Li Chengqian and Cheng Huailiang to attend.
Of course, Li Chengqian would not refuse, and came over early to wait for the meal.
And before dinner begins.
Li Chengqian, Cheng Huailiang and Chang Sun Chong were sitting in a small pavilion in the backyard garden.
Looking at the two brothers in front of him, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"We brothers, it's been a long time since we sat down quietly and had a good chat."
Looking back on those days, the three brothers were inseparable and lived and ate together.
But now, all three people have their own careers.
Li Chengqian became the crown prince, so he naturally had to fulfill his duties as the crown prince.
Changsun Chong is now able to take charge of his own business and has become Li Shimin's key training target.
As for Cheng Huailiang, he didn't give in too much and took over everything that Li Chengqian left behind in Liangzhou.
Nowadays, it is rare to get together, and the three of them are very emotional.
Changsun Chong sighed softly and said, "Yes, before we know it, we have all grown up."
He looked back at Cheng Hualiang and said, "This guy hasn't changed at all. I heard he was beaten by Uncle Cheng two days ago."
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang's dark face turned red.
"I, Xiao Cheng, was beaten because of you, kid?"
"If you hadn't made such a big fuss, would I have come all the way back from Liangzhou?"
The situation of Cheng Huailiang and Li Chengqian is different.
Li Chengqian has nothing serious to do, he mainly travels with Li Yuan, and he can do whatever he wants.
The worst thing is to delay it for a few days and let Li Yuan spend a few more days in Suzhou.
But Cheng Huailiang is not like that.
This guy is a general sent abroad and is not allowed to return to the capital without an order.
But now that he came back privately, it was obviously against the rules.
Although Cheng Yaojin could understand that he was thinking about his brother, he had to educate him first and then go to Li Shimin to beg for forgiveness.
Of course, Li Shimin had no intention of blaming Cheng Huailiang at all.
After all, the Western Region has now been completely settled by Li Chengqian, and the government affairs have been properly arranged by Chang Sun Chong.
Cheng Huailiang's main task there was to fulfill the recruitment order set by Li Chengqian.
"What do you mean for me?"
Changsun Chong rolled his eyes, and then said: "I think you just miss your mother, so don't use me as an excuse."
"Hey, you heartless thing."
Cheng Huailiang stood up with his arms rolled up and his sleeves rolled up: "Is your skin itchy? Do you want me, Xiao Cheng, to help you relax?"
Hearing this, Changsun Chong was not afraid.
He immediately stood up and said: "Then you have to see if you have that ability."
Seeing the two people bickering, Li Chengqian was also happy from ear to ear.
These two guys were still as virtuous as before, and they couldn't stop talking for a few minutes after meeting.
"Okay, you two just stop making trouble."
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "How old are you, and you still don't look serious?"
After hearing his words, the two of them looked away and sat down slowly.
Of course, the two of them bickered out of habit and had no intention of actually fighting.
But just when Li Chengqian wanted to say something, the housekeeper suddenly ran over.
He was panting and looked at Changsun Chong anxiously, then looked at Li Chengqian and Cheng Hualiang, but hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian chuckled, and then said: "If you have anything to say to us, just say it."
The housekeeper did not hesitate.
He swallowed: "Your Highness, Young Master, something happened outside."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian was stunned, and Changsun Chong was also stunned for a moment.
Later, Changsun Chong asked: "What's going on?"
"The King of Shu is here."
"And he came with a knife."
The housekeeper said nervously: "Many people in the family have been injured by him, and the master is confronting him."
"What?"
Hearing this, how could Li Chengqian and the others still sit still?
The three of them quickly took off and ran towards the front yard.
From far away, you could hear the unbearable yelling coming from the front yard.
When he got closer, he suddenly saw Li Ke standing in the courtyard holding a bloody long knife, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Changsun Wuji stood on the steps and looked at him coldly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu."
"Our two families have already reconciled, why do you still come to my house to cause trouble?"
Changsun Wuji was also very puzzled by Li Ke's behavior.
He has already made such a huge step back, what else does he want to do?
When he heard what he said, Li Ke smiled.
But this smile was extremely cold.
"Changsun Wuji."
"Originally I thought you were some kind of upright person."
"I didn't expect you to be such a young person."
Li Ke pointed the knife at Changsun Wuji and said, "If you have any skills, just use them on me. Why bother a woman?"
To embarrass a woman?
What is he talking about?
Changsun Wuji's face was blank.
"I think His Highness the King of Shu must have misunderstood something, right?"
He said: "I didn't make things difficult for anyone, let alone did anything to anyone."
"You don't admit it, do you?"
"It's now, and you still don't admit it, right?"
While speaking, Li Ke took two steps forward with the knife in hand.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding servants also rushed forward.
They were also afraid that this bastard would hurt Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji motioned to them to get out of the way.
"Your Highness, we must speak clearly."
"What exactly do you want me to admit?"
Changsun Wuji said directly: "I don't even understand anything. What can I admit?"
"Okay, then I'll make it clear to you."
Li Ke gritted his teeth and looked at Changsun Wuji and said: "Wen Xia is dead..."
What?
Yang asked Xia, is he dead?
Changsun Wuji looked surprised.
He asked: "When did it happen?"
"Changsun Wuji."
"Don't act stupid with me."
Li Ke snorted coldly: "In the entire Chang'an City, the only one who can do such a thing is you, Changsun Wuji."
After finishing speaking, he looked up at Changsun Wuji and said, "I admit, I'm sorry for your Pingting."
"But I didn't expect you to be so cruel, and you wouldn't even let a woman go."
Thinking of Yang Wenxia's miserable appearance, Li Ke's eyes obviously became more ferocious.
After hearing his words, Changsun Wuji finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that this guy came to make trouble here because Yang Wenxia died.
He originally thought that Li Ke suddenly realized his conscience and couldn't bear his daughter leaving.
For a moment, Changsun Wuji also felt a little chilled.
He felt deeply unworthy of his daughter.
Changsun Wuji sighed lightly.
"Your Highness has misunderstood this matter."
"Although I, the eldest grandson Wuji, am not a good person, I am still a man."
"No matter what, I will not use the power in my hands to do anything to a woman."
Changsun Wuji slowly raised his head, looked directly at Li Ke and said, "Yang Wenxia's death was not caused by me."
"Changsun Wuji, you really don't look like a man."
"Wen Xia stayed by his own standards during the year he came to Chang'an City. He never did anything out of the ordinary, nor did he make any enmity with anyone."
Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Other than your grandson Wuji, who would think of touching her?"
