Section Two: The World's Greatest City

Li Yuanxing then continued, "Since my elder brother recognizes me as his younger brother, I naturally am a younger brother. Unfortunately, I possess very few skills and am not particularly proficient. I cannot fight, cannot manage the people, cannot keep accounts, and often get lost!" At the last sentence, Li Yuanxing himself chuckled, realizing that he had even gotten lost all the way to the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone was astonished; after the King of Qin went out for a while, he returned having acknowledged a brother, and this brother's origins were unknown.

This encouragement filled Li Yuanxing with a sense of pride, making him feel a bit dizzy with excitement, for it was the recognition of a timeless emperor. Taking a deep breath, he continued, "As long as the enemy generals pose a threat to my brother, they shall be personally eliminated by the general. This dagger is presented to the general, who will then fight for my brother across the world."

All eyes were focused on Li Yuanxing, as they could not understand why a young man dressed in peculiar attire, with hair only an inch long, was walking in alongside the King of Qin. By protocol, this young man should have been half a step behind the King of Qin

No matter how the historians write, I am still myself, and Chang'an must be the foremost city in the world

At this moment, Li Er had made a decision: no matter who Li Yuanxing was, where he came from, or what he intended to do, none of it mattered anymore. What was important was that he was his own brother, a gift from heaven that prevented him from becoming a true孤家寡人.

This is ancient Chang'an

Li Clan

The foremost generals and civil officials of the Tang Dynasty are almost all gathered here

Just like minor matters such as getting into a fight and ending up in the police station, city-level police officials are far less effective than the local precinct officers

Li Er also smiled, and the tone of Li Yuanxing's speech increasingly resembled that of Yuan Ba.

When this term appeared in Li Yuanxing's mind, it startled him. These young men, whether they were the sons or nephews of Li Yuan, posed a significant threat to his status as an outsider.

At this moment, being in the Tang Dynasty, this knife is truly of no use.

Who would know what etiquette of the Tang Dynasty a modern young man like Li Yuanxing would understand

The five brothers referred to by Li Shimin are naturally Jiancheng, Shimin, Yuanba, Yuanji, and Yuanxing. The others, born of the concubines of Li Yuan, hold the title of brothers but lack the true bond of brotherhood.

Debuting at the age of sixteen, engaging in street fights and collecting protection fees. Having come this far, he possesses more than a dozen underlings and owns two or three small shops, with savings that once peaked at several hundred thousand. Li Yuanxing is well aware that Li Er is definitely not a completely reliable super shield; while Li Er can handle major issues, he cannot manage the minor ones.

At that moment, several unusual gazes caught Li Yuanxing's attention.

Li Yuanxing has come to understand that this is the Tang Dynasty, and it is not yet the Zhenguan era. Li Shimin has just eliminated Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, and has placed Li Yuan under house arrest. After all, they are brothers born of the same mother, and he is his own biological father. Li Shimin is in a bad mood, so he went on a trip to the Qinling Mountains

Qin Qiong was taken aback, his hand resting on the knife but he did not take it.

Qin Wangfu

"The best in the world!" The civil and military officials shouted in unison. Li Shimin's words served as a standard, marking their future achievements. Being the best in the world is not merely a phrase; it is a goal, and much blood will be shed for this great objective. Furthermore, more accomplishments will be attributed to these individuals because of this goal.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanxing touched the machete at his waist. This machete was a style that lay between a dog-leg machete and a straight machete. However, it was made of excellent steel, crafted by a younger brother with whom Li Yuanxing had been through thick and thin. Li Yuanxing did not like the straightness of a straight machete, nor the excessive curve of a dog-leg machete, which is why he chose this particular knife

After handing the knife to Qin Qiong, Li Yuanxing took a few steps back and said: "In fact, I am just a person of little use. I only ask my elder brother to grant me a piece of land, preferably at the foot of that mountain. I wish to guard it there, as it holds some of my memories. After a few years, I will learn a bit more, and this life will belong to the Tang Dynasty, and to my elder brother."

Lofty and majestic, imbued with a solemn intent to kill

Li Yuanxing walked towards the military general, and the entire hall fell silent in an instant. All eyes were fixed on Li Yuanxing. He stopped in front of a general, who was none other than one of the legendary door gods of later generations, Qin Qiong

The best in the world! Eight hundred soldiers shouted in unison, attracting countless citizens to join in the chorus.

The ancient outer city of Chang'an, which had disappeared for over a thousand years, filled Li Yuanxing, who was gazing at the Zhuque Gate, with an inexplicable excitement and thrill that surged from the depths of his heart, prompting him to shout: "The number one city in the world, Chang'an and - map - book city"

When the three characters "Zhuque Gate" came into view, the fatigue in Li Yuanxing's body instantly vanished without a trace

Li Er reached out and pulled the reins of Li Yuanxing's horse, then struck each of the two horses with his whip. The galloping horses frightened Li Yuanxing so much that he felt half of his soul leave him; it was even more terrifying than riding a motorcycle at 200 yards, as if he could be thrown off the horse at any moment

This sentence is the key, the number one city in the world immediately made the generals feel their blood boiling, as if the blades were crying out. The scholars were intoxicated, their hearts enchanted, drunk without wine.

This knife is not particularly good. I once heard someone recount that as long as I..." Li Yuanxing hesitated a bit; he was unsure how to address Li Shimin. After all, this was an emperor who had experienced the ravages of war and had left a significant mark in the history of the Chinese nation, making it difficult for him to find the right words.

"Good, what a number one in the world!" Li Er was stirred by Li Yuanxing's excited words, and with a flick of his riding whip, he pointed to the city wall of Chang'an and shouted, "Number one in the world, Chang'an!"

My younger brother Yuanxing said, "Chang'an is the foremost city in the world"

Perhaps it was because of my declaration of being the "greatest city under heaven" that stirred the ambition within Li Shimin

The King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, https://mhetushu.com, the imposing presence of General Tian Ce of the Tang Dynasty conquering the world! Without Li Shimin, there would be no Tang Dynasty!

As the numerous generals cheered, Li Yuanxing was also observing. Among the few generals in the front row, some had refined faces and wore military attire, while others had coal-black heads, and some were exceedingly arrogant, but only one had eyes like an eagle. Although Li Yuanxing had not studied diligently and had little research on history, he had listened to many storytelling sessions, and a name rose from the depths of his heart

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my younger brother Yuanxing!" Li Er introduced him with great flair, and without waiting for anyone to respond, he continued, "I have killed my brothers, and heaven has granted me another brother. I do not inquire about Yuanxing's origins, nor do I question his past; from this day forward, Yuanxing is my fifth brother!"

This knife is an excellent blade, and it would be absolutely fitting to call it a treasured sword; the generals are all connoisseurs of fine goods

Li Yuanxing's tone was displeased, and it sounded quite strange to both the civil and military officials.

The owner of this gaze is young, so young that they are far younger than their actual age. The individuals standing here are either figures who have emerged from a sea of corpses and rivers of blood, or great talents capable of strategizing for the world.

Li Yuanxing instinctively turned to glance at Li Er, who gave a slight nod.
