We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

The north wind howled, blowing up the snow all over the sky, dyeing the towering Kyoto city gate into a vast expanse of desolateness.

On the city wall, the defenders stamped their feet, and the white breath they exhaled instantly condensed into frost.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, breaking the silence at the border.

The gatekeeper quickly ordered the people near the gate to disperse, and he himself climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance.

"It's Prince Yan and Prince Feng!" the soldier beside him said in surprise.

The soldiers guarding the city cast awe-inspiring glances at him, whispering in the name of the king.

A year ago, when Li Che left Beijing for his fiefdom outside the Great Wall, he also passed through this city gate.

At that time, he was just an unpopular prince, and everyone treated him coldly.

There are many people present today who have ridiculed and mocked him.

Now, with his illustrious military exploits, he commanded immense respect. The defenders looked at him with eyes filled with admiration and respect.

'Yan' and 'Feng' were both princes, and Li Lin was no more noble than 'Feng', but Li Lin was older than Li Che.

Therefore, the Prince of Yan's team passed first, followed by Li Che and his three hundred personal guards, and the team escorting the King of Goryeo was at the end.

When the King of Yan's troops had completely passed, a horseman came galloping out from the wind and snow.

The man on the horse was wearing a black fox fur coat, with a sword hanging from his waist. He had an imposing look of heroism between his brows. It was none other than Prince Feng Li Che.

He held a sturdy Saker Falcon in his left hand, his sharp eyes staring ahead, as if he could penetrate the barriers of wind and snow.

The wings of the Saker Falcon are dotted with snowflakes, making it look even more majestic.

In his arms he held a small snow-white animal, rising and falling evenly.

The soldiers defending the city were wearing iron armor and holding long spears. They stood upright in the wind and snow and saluted Li Che.

When the city gate officer saw Li Che walking past him, he trembled with excitement.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Prince!"

Li Che glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you know me?"

Seeing Li Che taking the initiative to talk to him, the gatekeeper was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion, and his tone was a little fanatical: "No, but I have met the Fengtian Army."

Li Che was very interested: "You are the new city gatekeeper, right? I have never seen you before."

"Yes, I have been transferred here for a year."

"Where is the city gate officer from before?" Li Che asked again.

"It seems he was transferred to guard the border." The city gate officer replied.

Li Che nodded and said nothing more.

When he left the imperial capital, the gatekeeper was obviously the prince's man, so he made things difficult for him and prevented him from leaving the city.

As a result, he was scared to death by Wang Sanchun using a rolling pin, which was probably the reason why he was sent to guard the border.

Thinking of this, Li Che couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The prince is a man who has no tolerance for others. After all, people are helping you. Even if they don't do their job well, they won't be thrown from the capital to the border.

"Sixth Brother, what are you dawdling about? Go and see father." Li Lin's voice came from the front.

Li Che came back to his senses, smiled and nodded to the gatekeeper, tapped his heels on the horse, and drove the horse slowly through the city gate.

The city gate officer looked at Li Che's disappearing back and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The soldiers on the side started a heated discussion:

"His Royal Highness Prince Feng is so kind. He was smiling at me just now. Unlike Prince Jin, his face was as cold as ice."

"Prince Jin was pretty good. Didn't you see the King of Qin? We were just a little slow, and he whipped us in the face."

"Prince Yan is quite kind."

"Shut up!" the gatekeeper shouted. "How dare you talk about the prince behind his back?!"

The soldiers fell silent, and the city gate fell silent again.

The city gate officer snorted coldly and withdrew his stern gaze.

What are you smiling at? His Royal Highness was clearly smiling at me just now!

. . . . . .

Li Che and Li Lin went all the way to the imperial city. They did not see any civilians on the way. It must be that Emperor Qing knew they were coming back and imposed martial law in advance.

When they arrived at the gate of the imperial city, Huang Jin had been waiting for a long time.

Huang Jin was delighted to see Li Che and Li Lin, and hurried forward to greet them: "This servant greets the two princes."

Li Lin dismounted and pulled Huang Jin over: "Big Companion, take us to see the Emperor."

Huang Jin looked troubled: "This... Your Highness, please don't worry."

Li Che noticed Huang Jin's strangeness and said, "Does Oban have anything to say?"

Huang Jin smiled apologetically and said, "Your Highness is intelligent. His Majesty has ordered that you two go to the Tenth Prince's residence to rest and meet at the court tomorrow morning."

"Why is that?" Li Lin asked hurriedly, "But what did my brother do wrong to make Father angry?"

Li Lin knew that after the other princes came to Beijing, they were summoned individually by their father and lived in the palace for a period of time.

It doesn't make sense that when it's our turn, we two brothers would be sent directly to the Tenth King's House.

Huang Jin looked around and whispered, "Your Highnesses, the number of guards you brought with you...isn't it a bit excessive?"

Li Lin showed an expression of 'as expected', and then looked at Li Che beside him.

Li Che sensed the resentment of his fourth brother and had to explain: "Daban, these people are from my country. They are not guards, but troops escorting prisoners."

Huang Jin shook his head: "In short, His Majesty is a little angry, Your Highnesses should go to the Tenth Prince's House to spend the night."

Li Che said, "This matter has nothing to do with Fourth Brother. It is my fault alone. Can you please tell Father about it?"

Li Lin said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about, Lao Liu? You and I came here together, and we should go side by side wherever we go."

Huang Jin looked surprised when he saw this.

When did the relationship between Prince Feng and Prince Yan become so good?

"It's fine for me, but I brought my family with me..."

Huang Jin quickly said, "His Majesty said that the Princess of Yan and the Crown Prince can enter the palace to rest."

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief. That was good.

The Ten Kings' Mansions are now filled with princes and their followers. God knows what is going on.

As a wife-loving man and a model husband, Li Lin naturally did not want Princess Yan to suffer there with him.

Li Che's eyes lit up: "Huang Daban, I also have a family, can it also enter the palace to rest!"

Huang Jin said helplessly: "Your Highness, please don't joke. You are not married yet, so where do you get your family from?"

Li Che picked up the little bear cub in his arms and said, "This is my beloved son. He is my father's grandson..."

Huang Jin just felt a headache. The Sixth Prince's style was becoming more and more incomprehensible. Was he still the cowardly and well-behaved Sixth Prince?

If we put this devil into the Ten Kings' House, God knows what kind of trouble will arise.

Thinking of this, Huang Jin couldn't help but remind him: "Your Highness, please be careful when you go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion."

"Oh?" Li Che put down the little white bear in his hand, "Why do you say that?"

"Your Highness forgot that when you became a vassal, in order to raise funds, you searched through all the Ten Princes' residences and sold everything that could be sold."

"Now the victims have gathered at the Ten Kings' Residence, waiting to ask His Highness for an explanation!"
