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

The hall was silent for a moment, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd being heard.

Those who supported the Prince of Longxi and those who supported the Prince of Huai'an glared at each other. The atmosphere was tense and the rift was already deep.

Just as people were arguing in the hall and spitting was flying.

No one noticed that in the shadow of the corner, two children in mourning clothes were standing side by side, watching coldly.

The older one is called Li Xuan, about eight or nine years old.

The younger one is called Li Ji, and he looks only five or six years old.

These two children are both sons of the King of Qin.

Logically speaking, the son of a prince who has had no worries about food and clothing since childhood would not get involved in such a big event, nor would he understand what his relatives say.

However, the King of Qin was under house arrest for four years and died in the imperial capital. There was really no one left in the King of Qin's Mansion, so he had to let his two children take charge.

Li Ji tugged at his brother's sleeve and asked quietly, "Brother, what are they arguing about?"

Li Xuan glanced coldly at the red-faced clan members and whispered, "Ji'er, remember these people. They are all fighting for our family property."

"Our family business?" Li Ji's young face was filled with confusion. "Why are they trying to take it? Aren't we a family?"

Li Xuan let out a sneer that was completely inconsistent with his age: "Family? They don't deserve it!"

"Ever since my father passed away, these people have been eager to attack me, seizing my Qin Palace's farms and shops and snatching my father's former subordinates."

"They're so ruthless and unscrupulous, how can they be called family? They're not even human beings!"

Although Li Xuan is young, he is not childish at all.

The warmth and coldness of human nature is the best catalyst, which can always make a child grow up quickly.

Li Ji seemed to understand and asked, "Then...what about the Prince Feng they are talking about? He is my father's younger brother, just like you and me. Is he family?"

When Li Xuan heard his brother ask this, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.

After all, he was just a child under ten years old. How could he tell the good from the evil of a person he had never met?

Remembering the teachings of his loyal retainers, Li Xuan hesitated and said, "Father...was murdered by the aristocratic families of the imperial capital, and they hated my uncle to the core."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, Uncle Feng Wang should be considered our family!"

Li Ji nodded vigorously, a determined look on his face. "Okay! Then let's help Uncle Feng Wang and defeat these bad guys who are trying to steal our family property!"

Li Xuanqiang laughed and reached out to touch his brother's head.

At this moment, the Prince of Longxi suddenly glanced at the two brothers in the corner, and a sinister look flashed across his face.

The corners of Longxi County Prince's mouth curled up slightly, and then he looked at the other clan members and slowly said:

"Everyone, please don't forget that when Prince Feng rebelled in the imperial capital, Prince Qin was involved."

"Now that the two remnants of the Qin Palace are in Chang'an City, why not capture them? With these two little bastards in hand, let's see if Li Che dares to act rashly!"

"Li Che cares most about his reputation. If we take away his two nephews, he will be afraid to act rashly and surrender obediently!"

Hearing this, the clan members, led by the Prince of Huai'an, all looked at the Prince of Longxi in disbelief.

Li Xuan immediately protected his younger brother Li Ji behind him, like an enraged little beast, staring at the Prince of Longxi with a pair of eyes, without any fear.

The Prince of Huai'an quickly spoke up to stop him: "Brother! They are just children. The harm will not affect their families, let alone young children. This act is too despicable and is absolutely unbecoming of our royal family!"

"Child?" The Prince of Longxi sneered, "There are no pure children in the royal family. His father participated in the rebellion, and the son should pay for his father's debt!"

Li Xuan finally couldn't help himself and pointed at the Prince of Longxi and cursed, "You old bastard! When my father was still alive, you came to my house every few days to give me gifts, groveling and fawning like a slave!"

"When my father is stripped of his power, you will be the first to take advantage of his misfortune and side with the aristocratic families to divide up the assets of my Prince Qin's Palace!"

"Now you've come up with such a vicious plan to harm my two fatherless children. Are you worthy enough to be a member of the Daqing royal family? You are simply a disgrace to the royal family!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent.

Although what Li Xuan said was a fact known to everyone, the Prince of Longxi felt humiliated by being scolded in public by a child.

Not only the Prince of Longxi, how many of the royal family members here are not like this?

In the past few years, the King of Qin was deeply loved by Emperor Qing. He had absolute power in Chang'an City, and everyone naturally bowed to him.

But now the Qin Palace has lost its power, and even when the imperial capital has time, it is very likely that the Qin King’s title will be abolished. Who would care about the orphans and widows left behind by the Qin King?

Thinking of this, the eyes of all the clan members looking at Li Xuan and Li Ji became unfriendly.

The Prince of Longxi was even more furious: "You little bastard, you are so sharp-tongued! I will break your arms and legs right now and hang you at the city gate. Let's see if Li Che will save you!"

Before he finished speaking, he actually strode forward and pretended to grab Li Xuan.

Everyone in the hall was shocked for a moment, but no one stopped him immediately.

At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the hall.

The hall door was pushed open, and Du Fuji walked in expressionlessly, followed by a young man.

The Prince of Longxi froze, and when he saw that it was Du Fuji, he immediately changed his face and put away his ferocious expression, replacing it with an eager smile: "Lord Du, you've come at the perfect time!"

"We have already discussed and decided that we are willing to work together to help Lord Du defend Chang'an and resist Prince Feng's rebels!"

His attitude of being arrogant at first and respectful later makes people laugh.

However, Du Fuji ignored his words, but took a step sideways and bowed respectfully to the young man behind him.

Seeing Du Fuji acting like this, everyone's eyes instantly focused on the young man.

The smile on the face of the Prince of Longxi slowly froze. He stared blankly at the young man, only to find that the other party had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he was young, he had a majesty that could not be ignored.

He was so confused that he blurted out, "Mr. Du... who is this young man from your family? He's such a handsome man. How come I've never seen him before?"

Li Che's gaze first fell on Li Xuan and Li Ji who were being protected, and his eyes softened slightly for a moment.

Then, he slowly turned his gaze to the Prince of Longxi, and his smile became even more 'kind'.

"Prince of Longxi, don't you know me?"

I?!

Everyone's faces turned pale and they stared at Li Che in disbelief.

Li Che only heard a gentle voice saying: "Since you don't know me, why are you so vicious?"

"In order to deal with me, you actually want to break the hands and feet of my two innocent nephews and hang them on the city gate?!"

At this point, Li Che's voice turned cold, and he asked word by word:

"Could it be that...Prince of Longxi, your surname isn't Li, and you're not from the Li family?!"
