He certainly understood the crux and focus of what he was saying. His safety and the wedding were not trivial matters; he could distinguish which was more important!
The reason he has this state of mind and these emotions is absolutely because of the rules and regulations for the crown prince!
Look how much the child has been cooped up!
"Brother Sun! We are now only friends, not ruler and subject, master and servant!"
I consider you a friend, and I hope you consider me a friend too!
"Just tell me, will you help me or not?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Jian simply replied with three words, "I can't help!"
After uttering those three words decisively and fluently, even Li Gancheng's cheeks twitched.
He originally thought that his emotional words and heartfelt remarks would at least move Sun Jian, or at least make him stop and consider his idea of going out to play.
But who would have thought that this guy would refuse so decisively, almost instantly saying it the moment he finished uttering his last syllable.
Seeing Li Gancheng's appearance, Sun Jian didn't forget to expand on the first three characters.
"I can't help at all!"
"Holy crap..."
Li Gancheng imitated Sun Jian's everyday tone, leaning back slightly, with a black line on his forehead.
The room fell silent at that moment.
But this silence didn't last long before Li Gancheng broke it.
His lips suddenly curled up, as if he had thought of such a good idea. Seeing his expression, Sun Jian felt a bad premonition!
Holy crap!
The guy's expression means either he wants to sleep with me, or he's plotting something against me!
"Brother Sun, oh Brother Sun!"
"Let me put it this way! I'm determined to leave the palace today! Even Father Emperor can't stop me, I said it!"
"Holy crap..."
Sun Jian suddenly felt that the line sounded so familiar, but before he could realize it, Li Gancheng suddenly approached him.
His face was only a finger's width away from Sun Jian's nose.
Li Gancheng, with a strange smile on his face, said to him, "Brother Sun, whether you agree or not, whether you take me out or not, I will find a way to slip away and then say that you took me out and that you encouraged me to do it!"
"I……"
At that moment, a million grass-like horses seemed to run through Sun Jian's mind!
Good heavens, this kid is really ruthless!
They actually used this method to threaten me!
Sun Jian believed that if he still disagreed, this guy was really capable of doing something even worse than a dog or a beast.
At that time, all the civil and military officials, including Emperor Qianwu, would surely believe what Crown Prince Li Gancheng said. After all, they were father and son, while he himself was just a subject and an outsider.
At that moment, Sun Jian's lips twitched involuntarily.
Seeing that Sun Jian was finally silenced by his method, Li Gancheng's smile widened.
He knew his real opportunity had come, so he pressed his advantage and continued to say to Sun Jian, "Hehe, Brother Sun, how about it? Think it over. I'll only give you a few dozen, I won't wait too long!"
"It's still midday. If we play until evening and then come back, the clothing arrangements should be settled by then."
"As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything either, Consort Xian and the others shouldn't find out anything!"
"Moreover, we can change into servants' clothes and slip away through the back door. With your skills that surpass General Li Mu's, it shouldn't be difficult for you to lead me over the wall and across the land...tsk tsk!"
"As for how..."
Li Gancheng was talking non-stop at this moment, explaining almost every possible factor to consider, including how to escape, what identity to use, how to avoid being discovered, and how to avoid trouble.
It's clear that this guy went to great lengths to have a good day in Kyoto!
What can we do now?
Sun Jian couldn't very well kidnap the Crown Prince, could he?
The Crown Prince's residence is now swarming with people inside and out. What will we say if they are kidnapped?
Does Sun Jian have nothing better to do? He can't possibly be with the Crown Prince all the time.
After much deliberation, Sun Jian reluctantly agreed. Although he was filled with worry, it seemed unrealistic to leave the Eastern Palace without Li Gancheng today.
"10!"
"9!"
Li Gancheng was still putting pressure on Sun Jian with words, challenging Sun Jian's mental defenses.
It must be said that the Crown Prince was indeed a master at manipulating people's hearts, and Sun Jian himself admitted this, acknowledging that he had won.
"Alright! Your Highness, I... I promise you, okay?"
Sun Jian shook his head and sighed, looking utterly helpless; he was practically numb with exhaustion.
Upon hearing Sun Jian's agreement, Li Gancheng was as happy as a child. If it weren't for the fact that he had been raised to behave like a crown prince over the years, Sun Jian estimated that this guy would have jumped up right now.
Going out is fine, but things still need to be made clear!
After all, the risks involved are too great, and there are countless hidden problems.
If he hadn't studied the Three Laws, Sun Jian would have preferred to risk everything and have Li Gancheng bound!
"Your Highness, I can take you out!"
"But we need to make many things clear beforehand, and we need to establish clear rules!"
"Okay! This is no big deal!"
Li Gancheng has already achieved his goal, and he will definitely agree to these minor details.
He knew in his heart that Sun Jian was thinking of him, and even more so of his safety.
Sun Jian held up his finger and began to recount the contents of his three-chapter dinner invitation.
The most important factors here are location and time.
The location naturally couldn't be too far, because Kyoto was too big and the area was too vast. If it was too far from the Crown Prince's residence, that wouldn't work at all. At most, one could only play around in the bustling market area.
Li Gancheng readily agreed to this, as he had no intention of traveling that far, especially since the most prosperous area of the capital, Chang'an, was not far from the Eastern Palace residence.
Sun Jian continued by talking about the time issue, because once they went out, he was afraid they wouldn't be able to control the situation. Right now, time was too tight, and there simply weren't enough opportunities.
Therefore, the time must be agreed upon and cannot exceed three shichen, which is equivalent to six hours in later times.
We must return to the Eastern Palace residence before dark, or it will be absolutely impossible.
Li Gancheng naturally agreed to the time requirement; three hours was a bit short, but it was enough.
His original idea was to have Liu Jin act as his stand-in for trying on clothes, and he estimated that the clothes would be tried on and decided upon after three hours.
If we don't go back soon, we'll probably be exposed.
In addition to the location and time, Sun Jian also added details about the guards and disguises.
"A bodyguard? Isn't that enough?"
Li Gancheng said calmly.
Sun Jian's reach was so great that probably only four or five people in the entire Great Qian Dynasty could rival him!
After all, even Li Mu, the General of the Golden Guard, was no match for Sun Jian, so Li Gancheng was naturally not afraid of security issues.
"Your Highness!"
Sun Jian was slightly angered.
"Your identity is crucial to the success of this project; it cannot be compromised!"
