"Please, Your Majesty..."
The second prince stepped out of the court officials' ranks first, smiling as he looked at Li Zhu…
Although the second prince was smiling, the ferocity in his eyes could not be concealed. Even before the fight started, the air was already thick with tension!
"Second brother, is it shameful to be in such a hurry?"
Li Zhu looked at the Second Prince with a hint of mockery, as if he were looking at a clown. He was a person with hidden strength, and although he was not proficient in using it, it was more than enough to teach the Second Prince a lesson!
"Brother, I think you're the one who'll be embarrassed, won't you? Have you forgotten how you used to get beaten up?"
The second prince said meaningfully!
His words immediately triggered Li Zhu's memories, and the scene of the Second Prince cornering him and punching and kicking him kept appearing in his mind. Every time, the Second Prince's footprints would be left on his face. The humiliation of being trampled underfoot was something that his predecessor could never forget, and it had even become a nightmare that he could not get rid of!
"Don't worry, you won't have that chance again..."
Li Zhu said indifferently, "Only I can avenge my predecessor's sins..."
"That's enough. If anyone dares to turn against their own brothers, don't blame me for kicking them out of the court..."
The emperor, seated on the dragon throne, still gave some instructions with lingering concern, worried that someone might take this opportunity to strike a serious blow. He feared that whoever was injured would suffer a loss of face for the royal family…
"Yes, Father!"
The two responded simultaneously, then looked at each other…
"Brother, don't say I'm bullying you, I'll let you make the first move..."
The Second Prince pretended to be generous and said that everyone knew what kind of person Li Zhu was, and everyone thought that the Second Prince was bound to win. No one would have thought that someone could cultivate internal strength in just a few days!
"Then you'll regret it..."
Li Zhu assumed a military boxing stance, and the Second Prince immediately recognized it as a style of boxing originating from the military. Although surprised that Li Zhu could practice military boxing, he remained disdainful. A boxing style that could be promoted in the military was naturally a publicly known style, and anyone who wanted to learn it could obtain it…
The advantage of this style of boxing is that it's easy to learn, but its disadvantages are also obvious; it's impossible to become very skilled at it. This reinforced the Second Prince's contempt, so he couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"Brother, just striking a pose isn't enough; the martial arts skills in the army require time and practice..."
Li Zhu just smiled slightly and wasn't angry. After all, fighting is about fists, not words!
Faced with the Second Prince's provocation, Li Zhu didn't tolerate it and immediately launched a move called "Double Dragons Probing the Moon," his outstretched fingers aimed straight for the Second Prince's eyes...
The second prince was startled by the fierce attack and quickly leaned back to dodge it…
Little did anyone know that Li Zhu's move was just a feint. Taking advantage of the moment when the Second Prince leaned back, he withdrew his attack and raised his foot to kick the Second Prince's knee...
Thump...
The second prince suddenly lost control of his body and knelt on one knee on the ground...
"Second brother, what's wrong with you? Although the eldest brother is like a father, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony..."
The second prince looked terrible, mainly from the pain. After all, the knee is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body, and to be kicked so hard and then make such a solid impact with the ground, it's no wonder it hurts…
"I'll do whatever you want..."
The second prince was so angry that he swore!
Li Zhu immediately seized on this small flaw and said...
"Second brother, my uncle is also your uncle. He is Father Emperor's brother. How can you be so disrespectful?"
"I…"
The second prince wanted to curse, but he found that not only could he not argue with Li Zhu, but now he couldn't even beat him.
"Go to hell..."
Driven to desperation, the Second Prince roared without thinking, and then, like an arrow released from a bow, he lunged at Li Zhu, his fist aimed straight for Li Zhu's face...
If such an attack were to actually land on Li Zhu's face, he would probably suffer a nosebleed...
However, in Li Zhu's eyes, the Second Prince's movements seemed to slow down. Faced with his angry attack, Li Zhu chose to avoid its sharp edge and did not take it head-on...
To achieve the desired effect, Li Zhu narrowly dodged the Second Prince's punch and pretended to fall backward, but he tripped right on the Second Prince's ankle...
This tripped the second prince, who was already pushing forward, causing him to be launched into the air and fly forward...
Li Zhu staggered back a few steps, then patted his chest and said...
"I almost fell, I almost fell..."
Li Zhu looked at the Second Prince with lingering fear, only to find the prince lying on the ground, covered in dust and looking extremely pale. This was no longer just a matter of losing face; it was a matter of whether he could ever hold his head high again...
"Second brother, what happened to you? Does it hurt from the fall?"
Li Zhu reached out to help the Second Prince, which appeared to everyone as a heartwarming scene of an older brother caring for his younger brother. However, the moment Li Zhu touched the Second Prince, a hidden force seeped into the Second Prince's shoulder...
Overwhelmed by the pain, he couldn't help but scream, losing his balance once more, this time falling towards Li Zhu...
To outsiders, this scene appeared to be the Second Prince repaying kindness with ingratitude; when others tried to help him up, he yelled and rammed his shoulder into Li Zhu's chest...
The two bodies made contact for only a fleeting moment, and Li Zhu was pulled backward, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth…
Li Zhu thought to himself that biting his lip really hurt, but at the same time, he felt a secret thrill. Tricking the Second Prince felt different. Meanwhile, the Second Prince was in pain, completely unaware of what had happened…
After Li Zhu stopped, he couldn't help but say, feeling wronged.
"Second brother, what are you doing? I just wanted to help you up, and you hit me so hard?"
We are brothers. If you are jealous of my talent, I will give in to you from now on. If you are jealous of my handsomeness, I am willing to wear a mask so that you, my second brother, will not feel inferior!
You absolutely mustn't feel resentful just because others praise me a few times. I don't want to feel that way either, but my excellence can't be hidden. Blame your brother, I'm the one who's sorry..."
The civil and military officials were all stunned by Li Zhu's words. This guy... he really is... a genius...
They say shamelessness is invincible, and Li Zhu perfectly embodies that saying...
The second prince was so angry at Li Zhu's shameless words that he was speechless, and his finger pointing at Li Zhu trembled uncontrollably...
"Second brother...you've forgiven your older brother?"
Li Zhu, with an excited expression, reached out to grab the Second Prince's hand. The Second Prince instinctively tried to pull his hand away, but Li Zhu took the opportunity to support the Second Prince's shoulder from behind. A surge of force caused the Second Prince to instinctively raise his elbow...
