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

Li Che's expression changed instantly, and he said solemnly: "Fourth brother, Ah Qiang has followed me since he was a child. He is called my follower, but in reality he is my brother."

"Even if I don't want these three thousand war horses, I can't hand them over to you."

Hu Qiang is the closest person to me after I traveled through time. Although they are not related by blood, they are like family to me.

Family is priceless, how can it be exchanged?

Seeing Li Che's firm attitude, Li Lin felt disappointed, but more relieved.

This sixth brother not only has a similar personality to himself, but also does not have the bad habits of the royal family.

In the eyes of the nobles, not only can followers be exchanged, but even concubines can be used to entertain guests.

Li Lin said regretfully, "Never mind, I just don't have this blessing."

Looking at Hu Qiang squatting on the steps outside the door, Li Lin asked again: "Such a brave warrior, why is he not wearing armor and is unarmored?"

Li Che replied, "Fourth brother, you don't know. Ah Qiang is gifted. Ordinary weapons are a burden to him. It is more convenient to fight with bare hands. As for armor, he is very large and sturdy, and ordinary standard armor is difficult to cover his body."

"How could such a warrior be without a weapon?" Li Lin pondered for a moment. "I can't do anything about the armor, but I might be able to help with the weapons."

"Sixth brother, take him to my armory and choose any weapon that suits him."

"This..." Li Che felt a little embarrassed. "In this case, I will thank Fourth Brother on behalf of Aqiang."

"Why should we be so polite between brothers?" Li Lin smiled heartily and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him.

After saying this, he called the housekeeper and wrote a note with his own hand.

"Sixth brother, take this note and go to the Horse Guards to get your warhorse. Steward Wang will take you to the armory. If there's a weapon you like, you can choose one."

Li Che didn't know what to say anymore.

No wonder people call Li Lin the "King of Heroes". His generosity and generosity are truly admirable.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Che stood up and said goodbye.

Li Lin tried to get Li Che to stay at the palace for a while, but was politely declined.

Li Che knew in his heart that although he and Li Lin had a very pleasant conversation, they were both vassal kings after all.

The relationship between the two was too close, and it was inevitable that it would be spread to the capital by people with ulterior motives, causing the suspicious emperor to become suspicious.

Moreover, the Prince of Yan's Mansion is heavily guarded, just like a military camp, and is obviously frequently attacked. It would be safer to return to the camp than to live here.

After seeing Li Che off, Li Lin returned to his room and said to Princess Yan with emotion:

"I never thought that the sixth child who didn't even dare to speak would grow up to be so successful."

Princess Yan helped Li Lin sit down and asked, "Your Highness seems to be quite impressed with Prince Ninggu?"

"Yes, Lao Liu speaks frankly, unlike the other brothers who appear to be very affectionate but actually have their own thoughts."

"In that case, Your Highness, why don't you get closer to the Prince of Ninggu? If we can establish a good relationship with him, it will be a good thing for us."

"Oh?" Li Lin asked curiously, "Why do you say that, my dear?"

The Princess of Yan smiled and said seriously, "Although Yan and Ninggu Commandery don't border each other, they are not far apart. If the Prince of Ninggu Commandery can contain the Hu people in the northeastern border, the pressure on Yan will be greatly reduced."

"As the saying goes, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. No matter how close your Highness's relationship with the other princes is, they are not as reliable as the Ninggu County Prince at a critical moment."

Li Lin laughed heartily: "My beloved concubine is very smart, that's exactly the truth."

At this moment, the voice of the personal guard came from outside the door: "Your Highness, there is a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin stood up abruptly and said excitedly, "Did the Crown Prince send a letter? My beloved, bring the letter here quickly!"

Princess Yan took the letter from her personal guard and handed it to Li Lin.

Li Lin couldn't wait to tear open the envelope, but after reading only a few lines, the excitement on his face disappeared completely.

After a moment, he slowly put down the letter in his hand, his face gloomy and uncertain.

. . . . . .

On the other side, Li Che and a group of personal guards walked out of Prince Yan's Mansion, accompanied by an old butler.

"Your Highness, the armory is over here." The old butler said respectfully.

"Sorry to bother you, father-in-law." Li Che said politely.

"Hey, hey, hey." The housekeeper waved his hands quickly, "You don't deserve to be called the Prince of Ninggu."

Li Che nodded and said nothing more.

The values ​​of ancient and modern times are too different. Li Che is more familiar with the idea that courtesy is the best policy, while in ancient times people paid more attention to seniority and hierarchy.

Prince Yan's private armory was located to the north of the palace and was heavily guarded.

When he reached the door, Hu Qiang looked at the narrow door and stopped consciously: "Your Highness, I will wait for you outside."

Li Che smiled and said, "Let's go in together."

Hu Qiang touched his neck and said, "It's too narrow inside. I'm afraid I'll squeeze into His Highness if I go in."

"You fool." Li Che scolded with a smile, "This trip is just for you to pick weapons, how can you choose if you don't go?"

"Ah?" Hu Qiang was surprised.

If it were anyone else, they would have started to express their gratitude long ago, but Hu Qiang's brain circuit was not full of such twists and turns.

"If the weapon is too light, I don't want to use it. It's better to be empty-handed."

What Li Che liked most was Hu Qiang's straightforwardness, and he immediately joked, "Don't worry, I will definitely choose a thick and big one for you."

The old butler beside him almost couldn't hold back when he heard this.

This Prince of Ninggu is similar to his own prince, and is also a man of few words.

As soon as he stepped into the armory, Li Che felt a chill.

The weapons stored in the armory are all cold and sharp, and contain a murderous aura.

Looking around, I saw a dazzling array of swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, each with its own power. I think they are all sharp weapons for conquering on the battlefield.

"Prince Ninggu and this warrior are free to look around. My prince has ordered that you can take any weapon." The old butler bowed.

Li Che nodded and took Hu Qiang for a stroll in the armory.

Hundreds of weapons put together looked quite scary, but Li Che soon realized a problem.

He couldn't tell whether these weapons were good or bad.

The weapon styles of Daqing are different from those of previous dynasties, not to mention that King Yan also collected a lot of foreign weapons.

Now, facing this room full of weapons, I feel like I am in a fog.

Li Che simply stopped looking and had to ask the old butler for help, asking him to choose for him.

The old butler bowed repeatedly and said he dared not.

Li Che's attitude made him flattered and moved at the same time, and he immediately took out an ancient long sword.

"This sword is called Silence. Its blade is plain and unadorned, yet incredibly sharp. It is a top-notch divine weapon in the arsenal."

Li Che shook his head: "This sword is too light."

The old butler put down his sword and pointed at a spear on the wall.

"How about this 'Chasing Wind' spear? It's one of my prince's favorite weapons. I bought it in exchange for ten fine horses."

Li Che smiled and said, "It's a good gun, but Ah Qiang relies on brute force in battles, and I'm afraid he can't use the subtleties of this gun."

The old butler shook his head regretfully, his eyes falling on a huge battle axe.

"This battle axe is called 'Earth-Splitting'. It is a relic of a former general and weighs eighty-nine kilograms."

Li Che saw that the battle axe was broad and sharp, and the iron was extremely thick and heavy. He nodded and said, "Aqiang, what do you think of this one?"

Hu Qiang casually picked up the battle axe, tiptoed in his hand, and shook his head: "It's still too light."

After saying that, he put down his battle axe, walked straight to the depths of the armory, pointed at one of the weapons and said:

"This weapon looks good to me."

The old housekeeper took a closer look and was immediately horrified. He quickly stopped him and said:

"Wait a minute, brave man! This thing cannot be touched!"
