This old Li is pretty arrogant, he actually dared to call Li Yuan's daughter a lowly woman.
Although Li Jue didn't know who gave Old Li his confidence, he was still very moved by Old Li's protective behavior.
"Uncle Li, if you're in any trouble, just tell me. Whether it's telling me to pack my things and run away, or telling me to surrender to the authorities, it's no problem!"
In short, I will take full responsibility for my actions and will never implicate you!
"hehe!"
Li Shimin gave a cold laugh, which could be considered his response to his eldest grandson.
He had been extremely busy lately, but when he heard that his grandson had been bullied, he rushed over in a panic.
Li Shimin looked at the sky and realized that even if he went back now, there was nothing he could do, so he decided to have a drink with his two old comrades while they were all there.
"Quickly cook some dishes for the three of us to calm our nerves!"
"To calm your nerves?"
Li Jue rolled his eyes in anger upon hearing this. Shouldn't he be the one calming down?
"good!"
Li Shimin followed the group into the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he saw two pale-faced corpses lying on the ground.
"Why are there dead bodies here?"
"Reporting to... Old Li, it was your grandson who did it!"
"ah?"
Li Shimin was so happy when he heard this that he almost jumped for joy.
"Grandson, you've learned how to kill?"
"I……"
Upon hearing Old Li's tone and seeing the joy on his face, Li Jue suddenly regretted acknowledging him as his grandfather.
Is this guy out of his mind? Why is he so excited about killing someone?
Little did they know, this was the biggest difference between Li Jue and the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Jue, an ordinary person who was disciplined for over a decade in later generations, regarded murder as a heinous crime from the bottom of his heart.
However, in the eyes of Li Shimin, Yuchi Jingde and others, killing someone was no different from killing a chicken.
If one did not possess such ruthlessness, how could one possibly conquer the world?
"To be able to kill his enemy at such a young age, he's bound to achieve great things in the future, hahaha!"
Li Jing and Yuchi Jingde were both startled when they heard this.
His Majesty doesn't praise people easily. His praise of his eldest grandson is very likely because he intends to groom him as the heir apparent!
"Uncle Li, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, but these two are still alive..."
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin glanced at the ground in surprise.
"ah?"
"Not quite dead yet?"
"Then just give them both a knife each and that's it!"
"I……"
Li Jue was speechless again upon hearing this, wondering to himself what kind of grandfather he had recognized. Could he be an executioner of the Tang Dynasty?
"Old Li, they're not dead yet!"
"No, no, no... they won't die, I've already saved them!"
However, apart from Li Juexin, no one in the entire courtyard believed him, not even the two poor bastards lying on the ground.
"Never mind, you'll find out in a couple of days. I really was saving someone!"
"Ahhh!"
To avoid getting in the way of these two ruffians, Li Jue had them carried to the unfinished courtyard before washing his hands and cooking for the old men.
Half an hour later, six dishes of stir-fried dishes were served, leaving Yuchi Jingde and Li Jing stunned.
"Apprentice, you can cook?"
"I know a little!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin chuckled and continued the conversation.
"This kid had a miraculous encounter. He said he had a dream and learned from the deity in the dream!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing glanced at Li Jue in surprise, then said with a look of shock.
"Is this a gift from heaven?"
"I guess so. We haven't told any outsiders about this, only the two of you. So don't go around spreading it around!"
"Oh oh oh..."
"Your Majesty... Old Li, don't worry, we're both tight-lipped and promise not to gossip."
"Our grandson said that the old immortal in his dream taught him a lot of things, such as governing the country, economics, and military affairs. But this guy is greedy and in the end, he only remembered the way of cooking!"
"Hearing this made me so angry I wanted to hang him up and beat him!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jing said with a face full of regret.
"It's really a bit of a shame!"
"If we can remember them all, it will be a blessing for the Tang Dynasty and for the nation!"
"Who says otherwise..."
"And this grandson is lazy. He's extremely intelligent, with a photographic memory, but he just doesn't like to study. It made me so angry... that I actually hung him from a tree and gave him a good beating, hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde immediately became interested and said with anticipation.
"Old Li, if you ever beat up this bastard again, remember to call me. I'll come over and watch the show, hahaha!"
Li Jue was just carrying out a plate of stir-fried eggs with chives when he heard this. He immediately put the plate as far away from Old Yu as possible, which made Yuchi Jingde so angry that he could only stare blankly.
It wasn't until Li Jue entered the kitchen again that Yuchi Jingde muttered something under his breath.
"Old Li, your grandson is so vengeful, just like you were when you were young!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately displeased and glared at him with his dragon eyes, retorting.
"When did I hold a grudge?"
"How magnanimous am I? Ever since that incident, I haven't punished a single person who has opposed me!"
"Even Wei Zheng..."
When Li Shimin mentioned Wei Zheng, his expression immediately darkened.
If Wei Zheng were still alive, how wonderful it would be! Not only would I make fewer mistakes, but this grandson would also have someone to teach him a lesson.
Li Jing noticed Li Shimin's melancholy and immediately tried to ease the atmosphere.
"Come, come, eat your food. Don't let this child's good intentions go to waste!"
"Yes, yes, let's eat!"
After they had eaten for a while, Li Jing saw Li Jue go back into the kitchen to work again, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
