Li Yuanji looked at Li Shimin's back and slowly approached.

Li Shimin turned his back to him, and he turned his back to Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, no one saw his expression at this moment.

There was a sinister smile on the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

There was a hint of a successful conspiracy in his eyes.

"Brother, this is what you ordered me to kill my second brother..."

Li Yuanji murmured softly,

"He, Li Shimin, wants to be the prince, but who doesn't want to be the prince?"

In Li Jiancheng's eyes, the "honest" fourth brother was far from being as simple as he imagined.

Li Yuanji also has his own game of chess in his heart.

He also covets the position of crown prince!

But he also understood that with his own strength and qualifications, the position of future emperor of the Tang Dynasty would never be his turn.

Unless the first two brothers die or are deposed!

And now, he is heading towards this path——

Carry out the plan to kill King Qin for the prince!

As long as Li Shimin died, he would immediately complain to his father and reveal that the eldest brother was the mastermind behind the second brother's murder!

With my father's emotional temperament, I can't tolerate Li Jiancheng in his eyes, so I will definitely abolish him!

When the time comes, who will be the crown prince after death and destruction, need we say more?

Plop, plop.

Li Yuanji's heartbeat accelerated slightly. He seemed to see the crown prince's seat waving to him!

"Fourth brother?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji who looked strange and shouted.

"Huh? Uh..."

Li Yuanji woke up from the sweet dream of the crown prince. When he saw Li Shimin in front of him, his heart trembled and he quickly managed his expression.

"Where did the fourth brother come from?"

Li Shimin said with a smile,

"Are you going to see your father?"

Although the brothers fought secretly for many rounds and accumulated a lot of resentment, on the surface they were still harmonious and respectful.

Although Li Shimin disliked this fourth brother the most in his heart, on the surface he still looked like a kind-hearted brother.

Perhaps, these are superficial brothers in the true sense!

"No, I'm here to see you, second brother."

Li Yuanji also smiled, cupped his hands and said,

"Congratulations, second brother, for ranking first in the hunt. Even my father is full of praise and rewards you with the Red Gong Saaya."

"The bravery of the second brother really makes my younger brother envious and admire him!"

Li Shimin couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this.

"Haha, fourth brother is so impressed."

He stepped forward and patted Li Yuanji on the shoulder, encouraging him,

"You're not bad either, just catch up with me, second brother!"

"Keep working hard and practice more, my second brother is waiting for the day you catch up!"

Li Yuanji's eyes twitched slightly.

Hearing this, he felt unhappy, but he still smiled and said:

"What the second brother is saying is... Actually, the younger brother is here because he has a problem and wants to ask for your help."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, feeling a little more wary.

"What's the matter? Tell me." He stared at Li Yuanji and said softly.

"A few days ago, weren't there a group of Hu businessmen who came to Chang'an to do business? They gave me a lot of things."

Li Yuanji said.

Li Shimin nodded, of course he knew about this.

The snow rabbits raised by Li Chengqian were given by Hu Shang who knew how to cause trouble.

"Among them, there is a seven-foot horse!"

Li Yuanji looked a little embarrassed and sighed,

"That horse is really good, but it's too hot-tempered and unruly!"

"I tried to tame him many times, but failed. I was kicked several times by the beast and died in embarrassment!"

"Now, that beast is bullying me. Even if I try my best, I can't get up."

Li Shimin nodded.

"A fierce horse is like this. If it cannot be tamed several times, it will despise you and would rather die than let you ride it."

He smiled and said,

"It seems that my fourth brother has no chance of it!"

"But it doesn't matter. Didn't my father just give you a BMW? Just abandon that violent beast!"

When Li Yuanji heard this, he shook his head.

"I can't tame it, but someone can!"

He raised his head and said respectfully,

"Second brother, I admire your bravery today!"

"So, I would like to ask you to help me tame this fierce horse. If you can successfully tame it, it will be yours!"

"how?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Shimin expectantly.

"This..." Li Shimin hesitated slightly.

"Second brother, you won't help me with this, right?" Li Yuanji said a little disappointed, "If the invincible second brother can't tame that beast, I'm afraid no one in the world can tame it, hey!"

This meal of coercion and praise made Li Shimin's desire to win suddenly come alive.

"Heh...where is that fierce horse now?" he asked.

"It's in the mountains and forests to the south!"

Li Yuanji raised his eyebrows and said happily,

"My little brother was afraid that the beast would disturb my father's holy chariot, so I kept him a little further away."

"Second brother, I will take you there right now!"

After that, he grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve and left.

"Hold on."

Li Shimin put down the red bow in his hand, took a long bow and quiver from the side and put it on his back, and also put his sword on his waist.

Only with the bow and sword at his side can he feel confident.

"Second brother, what do you mean?"

Li Yuanji's face darkened and he said,

"Can't you trust me?"

"What are you talking about, Fourth Brother?" Li Shimin said in surprise, "There are so many wild beasts in Lishan Mountain. How can you walk in the forest without a weapon?"

Li Yuanji: "..."

"Okay, I'm overthinking it."

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he could only nod his head and said,

"Second brother, please come with me."

Li Shimin smiled slightly, tightened the long bow in his hand, and happily agreed.

He was very happy today, but not so carried away that he didn't have the slightest vigilance.

This fourth brother has always been at odds with him, and now he suddenly came to invite him enthusiastically. How could he not keep an eye on him?



As the two of them moved forward, the woods became denser and denser, and the road became narrower.

There were rustling sounds all around, indicating that wild beasts were moving.

"Is it so far?"

Li Shimin smiled and said,

"Fourth brother, are you afraid that someone will steal your fine horse?"

Li Yuanji smiled stiffly.

"Second brother was joking. It's actually not that far away. It only takes a while to ride a horse, but it takes a little more effort to walk."

He said hurriedly,

"If second brother doesn't believe it, I'll tame the beast later and I'll be sure to return in no time."

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and began to look at the surrounding environment.

"This place is nice. It's shaded by trees and very cool. It's a good place to escape the summer heat."

He joked,

"The terrain is complicated, and it is also a good place for killing people and stealing goods. If someone were to ambush a group of troops here and suddenly attack, wouldn't you and I be captured without mercy?"

When Li Yuanji heard this, his smile froze again.

"Second brother, you..."

"Hey, stop, stop, I'm used to marching and fighting. I always think about how to ambush and kill people. It's my fault!"

Li Shimin laughed, waved his hand and said,

"Fourth brother, don't mind! Hahaha..."

"Well, the fierce horse you are talking about, could it be the bay red horse in front?"
