They started to quarrel and even started fighting because of a few words. This was actually the daily interaction between Li Kuan and this group of "virtuous people".

However, once this confusing ring was over, Li Kuan and Cheng Chumo, who were both parties to the conflict, were fine, but the brothers who were trying to break up the fight suffered disaster one after another.

Especially Qin Huaiyu, when he glared angrily at Li Kuan and Cheng Chumo, who were smiling and conciliatory with his two black "panda eyes", his plaintive eyes seemed to turn into sharp arrows, piercing the shameless couple. A bad friend.

Wasn't it because everyone laughed at Brother Kuan that he laughed the loudest when he was a child?

Do you deserve to wait for me here?

Damn it, there are about ten of us brothers, but we have more than a hundred tricks.

Brother Kuan was born in the second year of Wude, right?

Can't play it, can't play it at all.

A student born in the second year of Wude cannot play well...

Just when Qin Huaiyu was lamenting in his heart, Li Kuan had already waved goodbye to everyone: "In three days' time, we will play Cuju together at the Imperial Mansion outside the city. Don't be late!"

"Don't worry, I won't be late!" Li Huairen, who likes Cuju the most, responded loudly in the crowd, but beside him, Hou Junji's only son Hou Yun, who was a little short, had a very troubled expression on his face.

He turned his attention to his good friend Fang Yiai beside him: "Yaiai, do you think Brother Kuan will take personal revenge in three days? After all, my father does not follow martial ethics and helped Your Majesty to block him."

"It's okay," Fang Yiai waved goodbye to Li Kuan who was walking away, and whispered to Hou Yun, "Brother Kuan is not a stingy person."

He will find an opportunity to take revenge on the person involved.

----------------------------------------

Li Kuan returned to the Manlu Hall and had a delicious meal of roasted venison as he wished.

"Mother," Li Kuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, touched his belly, and then complained to his eldest grandson with a sad look on his face: "I find that my appetite has become bigger and bigger recently..."

"You..." Zhangsun gave Chang Le some vegetables that he didn't like to eat. Hearing this, he glanced at Li Kuan tenderly: "Kuan'er, now is the time for you to grow taller. Besides, you are a boy. , there’s nothing wrong with eating a bigger meal.”

"But, I'm a lot stronger." Li Kuan blinked, then picked up a lamb bone from the dinner plate next to him, and gently broke it with both hands. There was a "click" sound, which was about the thickness of three adult fingers. The rod bone broke with the sound.

"Second brother!" Li Tai, who was concentrating on chewing the mutton, saw this scene and immediately screamed: "Does it mean that if you eat too much, you can become a strong man?" As he spoke, he simply dropped the meat that he had not finished eating. For the mutton ribs, I started directly, picked up two mutton stick bones from the table, opened my bow from left to right, and started biting them.

"Oh my God!" The eldest grandson was still shocked by his son's sudden talent, but when he thought about it, he realized there was nothing wrong with it. After all, the child's third uncle, Li Xuanba, was once the best general in the world, with " "Born as a King Kong".

As soon as she thought of this, the eldest grandson's expression relaxed. Then she looked at her younger son who suddenly triggered the "Feast" passive, and shook her head helplessly. The somewhat worried empress eldest grandson glanced at her youngest son's round belly and sighed: "Qingque , it doesn’t mean that you will be stronger if you eat more... at the very least, someone with the level of your second brother needs to be talented."

"It's okay..." Li Tai, who choked on the lamb leg and rolled his eyes, took the bowl of pork rib soup that Li Kuan kindly handed him, drank it in one gulp and said calmly: "Today's mutton The stew is delicious, and my son is blessed with it. As for his strength, hehe, the strength of the second brother is equal to the strength of the son. The second brother will not let others bully me..."

When Li Kuan was brought to Chang'an from Longyou by his eldest grandson, Li Er was still the King of Qin. Under the title of General Tiance, he was overtly and covertly attacked by the then crown prince Li Jiancheng and "the number one troublemaker in the Li family"—— Qi Wang Li Yuanji excluded.

You know, the grievances of the parents are often directly reflected on the children.

Li Tai was often bullied by Li Chengzong, Li Jiancheng's eldest son, because of this.

Of course, as the eldest brother, Li Chengqian could not escape the disaster. He was often bullied by Li Chengzong, Li Chengdao, Li Chengde and the sons of Li Yuanji, and his life was miserable.

However, this situation has completely changed with the arrival of Li Kuan.

At that time, Empress Taimu had passed away. After the Li family held the funeral of Empress Taimu, and after wiping away tears, life continued as usual.

But no one expected that there was a person who was determined to stay filial piety for his grandmother for three years.

This person is Li Kuan.

Therefore, in the palace of the King of Qin, you can often see a little man dressed in white, eating only vegetarian food, and looking piously at the Xianling Mausoleum, where his grandmother rests, at a fixed time every day.

It can be said that Li Kuan at that time was an extremely weird existence. Li Er, Changsun, and even Li Yuan, after learning about Li Kuan's situation, all tacitly chose not to interfere.

It is ironic to say that the Tang Dynasty was founded on filial piety, but among the entire royal family, the most filial child was the child who grew up next to his grandmother.

Until one day, Li Chengzong and others found out in advance that Li Er had left Chang'an, and that the eldest grandson went to the eldest grandson's mansion to visit him because eldest grandson Chong was ill. Together, they came to the Prince of Qin's mansion as a guest.

The targets of these people are naturally Li Tai, who is scared of being bullied and just wants to hide at home, and the honest boy Li Chengqian.

"Knock on the door." This was what Li Chengzong said at the time.

But what they never expected was that when Li Chengzong threatened Li Er's personal safety and forced Li Chengqian and Li Tai to be humiliated by his crotch in the back garden, Li Kuan appeared in plain clothes.

"Second brother! Run!" Li Tai, who was stepped on the back by Li Chengming, did not forget to warn this eldest brother who was not usually close to others.

Li Chengqian, who had the same treatment as him, had a black eye at the corner of his mouth. Similarly, he also shouted: "Second brother, leave quickly... go to your uncle's house to find your mother and concubine..."

Li Kuan seemed to have turned a blind eye to all this. He looked at everyone with a hint of inquiry, looking very curious.

"Hey, where did this little hanged devil come from?" Li Chengzong looked at the stupid Li Kuan with disdain on his face. He had heard that he had such a cousin, but his father was a prince and he was the eldest son. Li Chengzong has never put his peers in his eyes: "Come here, kowtow to me and admit your mistake like your two brothers, and then get under my crotch, I will go back and tell my father, leave your father alone" The king’s life!”

"Oh," Li Kuan glanced at Li Tai and Li Chengqian lying on the ground, then looked up at Li Chengzong: "My brother, did you beat him?"

From beginning to end, Li Kuan seemed to have only Li Chengzong in his eyes.

This undoubtedly angered other royal disciples. As the eldest son of Li Yuanji, Li Chengye naturally knew when to express himself.

"Boy, don't think that you have stayed in Longyou for a few years, so what's the big deal? So what if your grandmother dotes on you? Everyone is gone, and you still fight

Counting on her old man’s remaining shadow..."

When Li Chengye started talking, Li Kuan had already glanced at the rockery nearby. After searching for a while, he found a piece of gravel that he wanted.

Then, Li Kuan walked straight towards the stone.

"Hey, kid, let's talk to you..." Li Chengye was about to continue shouting, but what greeted him was a pebble the size of an adult's fist.

"Bang!" This was the sound of a pebble hitting Li Chengye's forehead.

"Ah!" By the time Li Chengye squatted down and howled miserably, covering his forehead, a black shadow had already rushed towards the crowd.

He only had time to gape at Li Chengzong, the culprit of the accident before his eyes. The next moment, something sharp was pressed against his throat.

"Are you crazy?" When Li Kuan put a gold hairpin against Li Chengzong's throat with red eyes, his voice was almost crazy.

"Bah!"

Just when Li Chengzong's younger brother Li Chengdao tried to pull Li Kuan away from the side, several others were about to pick up things around them and attack him.

Li Kuan had already taken the initiative and pierced the golden hairpin into Li Chengzong's throat.

Everything is settled.

"Come," Li Kuan turned to look at Li Chengdao, who had already pulled out a sharp dagger inlaid with gems from his waist, "Don't be nervous, do as I say, come, stab me in the waist, as long as my body If you let go, this golden hairpin will pierce your eldest brother's throat. When the time comes, if I die, he will die too, and you will all bear the blame for this!"

"..." Li Chengzong was trembling all over at this moment. He could no longer say a word. His legs were trembling and his crotch was wet.

Li Chengdao held a sharp dagger in his hand and looked pale. He felt that his group should never come to provoke this madman.

"Come on," Li Kuan was still sending a sincere invitation to Li Chengdao in a bewitching tone: "Stab me in the waist..."

Although many years have passed, Li Tai will never forget it.

The second brother only used a gold hairpin left by his grandmother to ask Li Chengzong and his gang to kowtow to the three brothers one by one to admit their mistakes.

Don’t admit your mistake?

Oh, the cruel words Li Kuan said at that time are still ringing in his ears: "You noble men in the sky want to see the bravery of ordinary people, and I, Li Kuan, will naturally help you. If you don't kneel down today, tomorrow I will give him Li Chengzong in the palace." Condolences! No one else needs to worry about what happened to me, Li Kuan! It’s just the few of you who will definitely be in the dungeon of the Clan’s Mansion, regretting why you provoked me, Prince Qin’s Mansion, today!”

As a result, Li Chengqian and Li Tai, who were originally lying on the ground, were helped up by Li Chengdao and others.

Then, under the gaze of Li Chengzong, whose chest was already stained with blood, the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji knelt down to apologize to Li Chengqian and Li Tai one by one.

Even for Li Chengdao, who seemed particularly arrogant, Li Kuan did not forget to shake the golden hairpin and remind him intimately: "Slap yourself twice, otherwise my hands will shake even more..."

Li Tai, who was almost in tears at that time, felt that he had never been so proud in his life.

Who would have thought that his second brother is the truly powerful master...

Although the incident ended badly, Li Yuan chose to settle the matter because of the golden hairpin. Even Prince Li Jiancheng did not dare to blame Li Kuan too much on his face, and instead poured more anger on his incompetent sons and Li Er, who was already an old enemy.

However, these did not seem to be important anymore when the story of the previous generation came to an end...

But Li Tai remembered that when he was young, when he and his eldest brother were stepped on and humiliated at will by his cousins, it was his second brother who was like a god descending from the earth, who used his bravery to illuminate what should have been the darkest moment in his life. time.

"Second brother, I suddenly feel that you are so majestic." In the Manna Palace, Li Tai, who had finished reminiscing, looked at the second brother in front of him with a smile and started to complain to his mother that the lessons in the school were too difficult. It was hard for him to imagine that the man who was in Qin Dynasty In order to completely regain the place for him and his eldest brother, and even to find the bloody second brother, the palace will become as lazy as it is today...

But it's pretty good, Li Tai thought with a smile.

"Hmm... what are you talking about?" Li Kuan, who was held by Chang Le and begged to eat two bites of green vegetables for her, opened his mouth to accept his sister's feeding and looked at his younger brother who suddenly had a convulsion. He couldn't figure it out for a moment. how so.

Forget it, Qingque, it’s normal for this child to have seizures occasionally...

"Um...water...water...water..." Because it was agreed that it was just a mouthful, and because he was distracted by his own thoughts, the little clever Changle took the opportunity to feed him in a spoon-feeding manner. Unfortunately, the second brother also Choked...

"Second brother...give..."

"Thank you... ugh! This is fucking hot soup!"

"Kuan'er!"

"I was wrong, mother...but Xiaotai doesn't deserve to be my younger brother..."

"Ah?! Second brother, I'm sorry...does it matter? This...this is what Changle handed to me..."

"Fourth brother! How could you accuse someone of their innocence out of thin air?!"

"Shut up! Hurry up and finish the remaining vegetables!"

"Oh...Second brother...I'll just eat it...but don't be cruel to others..."

Queen Changsun, who was sitting at the top, looked at the noisy children in front of her with a smile. She took some food for herself and ate slowly.

The taste of the world is pure joy.

When she was young, she and her brother Zhangsun Wuji lived a life of dependence on others. Now looking at the lively children around her, this woman who is already the most distinguished woman in the world, she just feels that the hardships she has endured now seem to be nothing. Nothing.
