From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 20 Missed
"Brother, I only have a little wine for you. It's not a sign of respect!"

Li Chengning was not polite either. He sat upright at the table, looked at the wine pot on the table, and suddenly smiled, "Can you drink now?"

"You have to drink even if you can't. Today is my farewell to Big Brother. If anyone dares to bring this up, I'll make him bleed all over me."

"You!" Li Chengning was slightly stunned when he heard this, and smiled bitterly, "You've really changed a lot over the years."

"After getting beaten and learning a lesson, I guess I've gained something after all." Li Chengqian smiled, picked up the wine jug, and filled it for Li Chengning. "Here, since you're going away and you don't know when you'll be back, I'll toast you a glass. Have a safe trip."

"Thank you." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although he and Li Chengqian had some disagreements in the past, several years have passed. The two have not communicated much in these years, but there has been no conflict. But he heard that this kid ran to the princess and got a piece of inner armor, clamoring to seek revenge on him. He even prepared for this and thought about how to lose the competition with this kid decently. As a result, this kid remained silent and didn't even mention it. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After a few more drinks and a few bites of food, they both found it awkward that they didn't seem to have anything in common to talk about.

So Li Chengqian simply waved his hand, and Qin Yuan came up carrying a box.

Li Chengqian took the box with a smile and placed it in front of Li Chengning. "Brother, although I have the title of Crown Prince, I have no men or soldiers under my command. You are going to the western frontier to guard it. I can't help you with manpower. Here is a small gift for you. Keep it with you. Maybe it will be of some help to you."

"Ah, this..."

Li Chengning was a little surprised.

"Open it and take a look, maybe you like it." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Li Chengning glanced at Li Chengqian and opened the box.

"This is……"

"This is golden silk soft armor. It can withstand ordinary sword attacks and the internal force attacks of warriors below the seventh rank, but it can also withstand the impact of heavy weapons." Li Chengqian pointed proudly at a folded piece of soft armor in the box and said, "This soft armor is woven using Arctic ice silk and western fire spider silk, combined with refined golden silk. The pattern is also based on the spells of Western mages. It can carry a certain amount of true energy, forming an effect similar to that of a formation. Of course, the effect is not great, but it can only be said to be better than nothing."

"Isn't this what you want to use against me?" After listening to Li Chengqian's introduction, even though Li Chengning was knowledgeable, he was secretly surprised.

The golden silk soft armor could barely be considered inner armor and could resist swords and knives, which he could understand, but the fact that it could also carry a certain amount of true energy and form an effect similar to a formation was unheard of.

"Our aunt loves to watch us brothers fight." Li Chengqian took a sip from his wine glass and said with a smile, "So I found a reason to make her happy. She's a wealthy woman, and if she's happy, then I'll benefit, right?"

"Are you lying to her?"

"What do you mean by 'cheating'?" Li Chengqian was furious. He looked at Li Chengning with disdain and said, "That's called coaxing. Let me tell you, even though you're a few years older than me, there are some things you should learn from me. She's our aunt, a family member, and an elder. Of course, we, the younger generation, are catering to her preferences. To please an elder is called filial piety, the ultimate act of coaxing."

"Burning laughter?" Li Chengning raised his eyebrows. He had never heard such a strange way of using words. Instinctively, he felt that this was not a good word.

"Also, this is the latest version of the hidden arrow. My tutor Gui Zitian optimized it based on the three secret hidden arrows of the Supervisory Council. It has three more slots than the ones in the Supervisory Council, and the arrows are coated with a deadly poison that kills instantly."

After introducing the golden soft armor, Li Chengqian picked up several other items from the box and said with some pride, "And this, the Torrential Pear Blossom Needles. These needles are specially made, specifically designed to break the protective Qi of seventh-rank warriors and above. All the needles are also tempered with a deadly poison. If caught off guard, even a ninth-rank warrior will suffer. And this..."

Watching Li Chengqian take out various hidden weapons from the box one by one, Li Chengning's expression became more and more strange.

Hidden weapon, poisoned, poisoned, hidden weapon...

There are so many strange and bizarre hidden weapons, and at the end, they all have to be killed with one blow!

I'm joining the army to guard the border, not to be a killer!
"Also, here's one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Tongji Bank. This is all I've saved up over the past few years. Don't think it's too little!"

Li Chengning glanced at the boxes that had been put back together. After a moment's hesitation, he raised his head and looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "Are you trying to win me over?"

"Am I that stupid?" Li Chengqian smiled. "As long as Concubine Ning is still in the palace, no one can win you over."

"Then what are you..."

Gold silk soft armor, various hidden weapons, silver notes...

As the eldest prince, he knew that he would not be able to produce these things even after a few years.

"Brother, don't think it's so complicated." Li Chengqian poured another glass of wine, clinked it with Li Chengning, and drank it all in one gulp. "Publicly, I am the crown prince, and you are the prince who will be guarding the border. I am here to see you off and to perform some ceremonial rituals. This is what I, as the crown prince, should do. Privately, you are my elder brother, and I am your younger brother. Your elder brother is about to go on a long journey, and it is only natural for me, as your younger brother, to come and see him off. If I don't do it, there will be a problem, don't you think?" "That's what I said, but..."

"Do you know why those palace tutors say you're precocious?" Li Chengqian looked down on Li Chengning. "Look at you now. You don't look like a sixteen-year-old at all. You think more than a fifty- or sixty-year-old man. What's the point of all your thinking? You'll just be exiled to the frontier."

"Hmm?" Li Chengning's words touched his heart. His eyes turned cold and he said, "Your Highness, I heard that you have been practicing hard in the past few years, and you have always wanted to seek revenge on me. I think today is a good opportunity."

"Forget it, it's boring." Li Chengqian put down his wine glass and shook it. "The gap is too big. You've just entered the fourth rank. I'm afraid I can kill you with one punch, and then you'll be dead."

"what?"

This is too arrogant, too conceited, and too hurtful!
Just stepped into the fourth rank, and was killed with one punch?
Li Chengqian, you must have eaten too many mushrooms. Can you talk?

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to. Before I started practicing martial arts, I never thought I was a genius." When talking about martial arts, Li Chengqian showed a very annoying smile. "It was only after practicing that I realized that, apart from me and the four great masters, everyone else in this world is garbage!"

Rubbish?

Can this be tolerated?

Li Chengning immediately stood up and sneered, "Very well, Your Highness, then let me experience the strength of this genius of yours."

"You're really that desperate?" Li Chengqian leaned back in his chair and looked at Li Chengning, whose face was already red. "Forget it, go ahead and do it. Since you're my eldest brother, I won't beat you to death today."

"Insanity!"

Li Chengning was originally a little touched by Li Chengqian's performance today, and thought about taking this opportunity to pretend to be defeated by Li Chengqian, giving him a way out and ending their past "grudges"...

Now!
"I'm going to teach you a lesson, you little brat!" A murderous aura instantly surged out, and Li Chengning curled his five fingers into claws and grabbed towards Li Chengqian at an extremely fast speed.

Qinglong explores its claws!

"Too slow!" Li Chengqian twisted his body at a very subtle angle while sitting on the chair, dodged the claw by a hair's breadth, raised his left hand, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and punched towards Li Chengning's chest.

The speed seemed slow, but when Li Chengning realized it, it had already hit his chest.

not good!

Li Chengning was shocked and crossed his arms in front of him in a hurry.

boom! !

With a loud bang, Li Chengning only felt that Li Chengqian's fist exploded violently before it hit his arms protecting him. Then a huge force surged and knocked him away.

puff! !

After tumbling two and a half times in the air, Li Chengning's body hit a table, smashing it into pieces, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was a sweet feeling in the throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and splashed onto the chest.

"That's why I say it's boring." Li Chengqian stood up with a smile, stretched out his arms, and said disdainfully, "Why are you mortals practicing martial arts? You're wasting good martial arts."

"Puff!!" A mouthful of blood spurted out. Li Chengning, who had just felt a little relieved, felt a tightness in his chest and spurted out blood again because of anger.

"Brother, don't be like this. I knew I was going to hit you with this punch. Don't lie down, or I'll be in trouble."

Li Chengning's face suddenly turned red and purple, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

"Damn it! That was too heavy a blow! This is gonna be troublesome." Li Chengqian's smile froze on his face, as if he had just woken up from some strange state. "He didn't really beat me to death, did he?!"
