Tang Dynasty: Consort Wu? Your Majesty, please address her as the Crown Prince's Consort.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

"You know that?"

Li Shimin was also somewhat surprised by his father's question. Shouldn't his father be giving birth to younger brothers and sisters for him every day in Da'an Palace?

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Li Yuan rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"I've just retired, I'm not dead! What are you thinking? This is no joke, back then..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Yuan fell silent.

He wanted to say that it was his hesitation on the issue of who would become the crown prince that led to the tragedy of brothers killing each other!

Seeing his old man suddenly fall silent, Li Shimin naturally knew what he meant, and immediately spoke up:

"Father! I just wanted to create some sense of crisis for that kid Gao Ming. He's had it too easy. I dote on Qing Que and let Qing Que become a whetstone to hone him."

If he can't even withstand this much hardship, he's not qualified to become the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

After hearing Li Shimin's explanation, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

He understood the meaning behind his unfilial son's words.

The favoritism shown towards Li Tai was merely a means to hone Gao Ming's skills, not a genuine intention to make Li Tai the crown prince.

He looked at Li Shimin with his aged eyes and said:

"I have no objection to you honing Gao Ming's skills; he certainly needs to be tempered to inherit the throne. But... don't be too harsh, or a knife will break!"

Seeing his father's serious expression, Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken aback.

He felt that his father was right, but when he thought about what his unfilial son had done, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahahaha! That brat will break it? I have a feeling the whetstone will break first. I still need to provide some protection for Qingque, lest the whetstone breaks too soon!"

……

In the woods!

Xue Rengui rode his warhorse at full gallop.

Ahead of him, a sika deer was desperately trying to escape.

Xue Rengui's lips curled slightly, and with a flick of his two fingers, an arrow was instantly drawn from his quiver.

The bow and arrow were drawn in one fluid motion, the bow and arrow in his hand like a ferocious beast ready to pounce at any moment!

boom!

The bowstring snapped like thunder, and the arrow shot out of the hand.

puff!

Accompanied by the sika deer's desperate cries, an arrow pierced through the deer's back garden.

The sika deer fell to the ground with a thud, but Xue Rengui's hands didn't stop. He rode forward, picked up the sika deer's carcass, and began looking for his next target!

Everything happened in just a few breaths.

What Xue Rengui didn't know was that the scene just now was seen clearly by two people not far away.

"My goodness! Big Blackie, did you see that clearly just now? That looks like the young general behind His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Cheng Yaojin looked at Yuchi Gong with disbelief!

Yuchi Gong was also filled with shock.

"To shoot from horseback without damaging the hide—what kind of incredible archery skill is that! This young general beside His Highness the Crown Prince is no ordinary soldier!"

"Indeed! His archery skills are probably only comparable to His Majesty's in his youth!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Gong nodded in agreement.

Although the Qin Prince's mansion was once filled with many fierce generals, His Highness the Qin Prince was the only one with the best archery skills.

With His Highness the King of Qin wielding a bow and Yuchi Jingde holding a spear, no one in the world could stop them.

the other side.

Li Tai, riding his shaky warhorse, spotted a rabbit not far away.

Upon seeing this, Li Tai was immediately overjoyed and timidly drew his bow and nocked an arrow not far away.

boom!

The arrow was shot straight at the rabbit.

However, just as he was about to hit his target, a long spear shot out from not far away.

The rabbit, which had been eating grass, was instantly pierced through the heart by a spear.

Li Tai's arrow missed its target and ended up stuck in the ground!

This sudden scene startled Li Tai, who was already on edge!

"Who dares to lay a finger on my prey! Do they have a death wish?"

Once he realized what was happening, Li Tai became furious and embarrassed.

Just then, Yang Zaixing rode up on his horse, flashed past Li Tai, and effortlessly pulled up the spear and rabbit stuck in the ground before galloping away.

"Your Highness, I apologize!"

Seeing Yang Zaixing disappear before his eyes after leaving a single sentence, Li Tai completely broke down.

"Insolence!! Arrogance!! Do you people from the Crown Prince's Palace truly not take me seriously?"

However, Yang Zaixing was destined never to hear Li Tai's incompetent rage.

……

While Xue Rengui and Yang Zaixing were busy hunting, Li Chengqian's situation seemed much more relaxed and carefree.

He drew his bow to its fullest extent, and the bow emitted a beast-like roar, as if it contained boundless power!

boom!

With a deafening roar, the arrow flew out and instantly pierced the body of a sika deer not far away. Then it flew out unimpeded from the other side, finally stopping only after piercing through the tree behind the deer!

Anyone who saw this scene would be speechless with astonishment.

Such force is something that ordinary bows and arrows cannot achieve.

Indeed, Li Chengqian held an eight-stone precious bow.

Because he inherited the legacy of the Overlord and his arms were strengthened, his current strength even surpasses that of the historical Overlord Xiang Yu.

Ordinary bows and arrows are like toys in his hands.

Left with no other choice, he had to find someone to get him a hard bow with a weight of eight stones.

Li Chengqian's archery skills, thanks to the legacy of the Overlord, had long since reached their pinnacle.

After all, the story of Xiang Yu's sniping at the Honggou Canal, which led to a rift between kings, is no joke!

Just then, a beast's roar came from not far away.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Chengqian's warhorse suddenly became agitated.

Its eyes turned bloodshot, and it charged fiercely toward the direction of the beast's roar.

The sudden turn of events also startled Li Chengqian.

What the hell!

Li Chengqian clung tightly to the horse's mane, his entire body wrapped around its neck, which prevented him from being thrown off.

As a beastly roar erupted, the others in the forest couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and their warhorses began to feel uneasy.

Although the warhorses were restless, they did not go berserk like Li Chengqian's warhorses!

Although his warhorse was galloping wildly, Li Chengqian on horseback was frighteningly calm.

He could clearly sense that something was wrong with his warhorse.

At this moment, the warhorse was extremely agitated, and white foam even began to come out of its mouth.

Upon seeing this scene, a thought immediately popped into my mind.

Someone tampered with his warhorse!

If he hadn't had the system and hadn't received the Overlord's inheritance, he probably would have fallen off his galloping warhorse long ago.

In this situation, falling off a horse will result in serious injury, if not death!

Could it be that Li Chengqian's foot ailment in history actually originated from this?

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian's eyes turned cold.

He had traveled through the Tang Dynasty for so many years and rarely caused trouble, but this time someone actually wanted to kill him, which had crossed his bottom line!
