Chapter 1602: Chapter 580: Is This Kid Really 5 Years Old?_2

He also has a youthful heart, he can also be high-spirited, and... bully children. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

People are complex, you know.

Compared to Ji Kao, Ji Fa had much less pressure on himself and was also much more straightforward since he didn’t have the burden of being the eldest son.

’This footrest, the quality is really good.’

"Big brother, do you want some seeds?"

"Mmm, mmm, mmm!"

"Not eating? Then later when I roast meat, do you want some? Not eating either, alright then, little brother will eat it all."

Ji Kao: ...

Ji Kao actually didn’t believe in bad luck.

His body has grown, though not as strong as an adult, he’s already able to lift a slender maid.

——Don’t ask how he knows he can lift her, just ask, and he’ll say he tried, and indeed he has.

Could he not take on a five-year-old child?

Yet after Li Ping’an untied him, he got up again to grab Li Ping’an’s shoulder...

After trying five times, and being knocked down five times using skill by his fourth younger brother Ji Dan, he finally admitted defeat and had serious self-doubt about his ability, sulking in the corner of the carriage for several days.

Li Ping’an consoled him: "Big brother, you are cut out to be a civil official, not a military general."

Ji Kao rolled his eyes, sulking: "I actually can’t even beat a five-year-old child."

"Recognizing others’ excellence is also a gentleman’s quality."

"Humph," Ji Kao said with a grim face, continuing to sulk in the corner with self-doubt.

From outside came the voice of a servant greeting: "The two young masters, it’s time to eat."

Ji Kao moved so fast he almost left an afterimage, immediately composed himself sitting upright in his seat, smoothing his clothes with his left hand, picking up the Bamboo Slip with his right hand, slightly raised his head, slowly opened his eyes, and in a gentle voice said:

"Bring it in."

Li Ping’an beside him couldn’t help but facepalm.

This persona of his brother, really no one can surpass it.

The journey to Chaoge is long, nearly two months of jostling along.

Ji Kao has been bullied by Li Ping’an for two months as well.

Li Ping’an found that this big brother Ji Kao is indeed interesting, always maintaining his persona in every situation.

Even though he was bullied to the point of no return by their fourth brother, he insisted on not changing carriages, saying outwardly that he wanted to take good care of the fourth brother, mainly emphasizing a persona of ’brotherly love and fraternal respect.’

When camping and resting, Ji Kao would personally deliver water and meals to the guards, and amiably chat with the soldiers, mainly emphasizing a persona of ’affinity with the people.’

While passing through towns of other vassal states, since the envoy of the Shang King and the two young masters of the Marquis of Xibohou’s Residence are dual superiors of these vassals, they were also frequently entertained with banquets.

Ji Kao handled everything with ease, discussing ancient and modern times in casual conversation, mostly using refined language, earning much praise.

This is the persona of a gentleman.

Li Ping’an was much more laid back, eating a delicious meal wherever they went, mainly emphasizing a foodie persona.

Who would trouble a five-year-old child?

The only trouble is that his appearance is too delicate, always being asked by those little lords whether there’s been a marriage engagement set.

——In truth, those little lords wanted to establish a marriage alliance with the Marquis of Xibohou’s Residence, but didn’t have the status to marry Ji Kao, the heir, and Ji Dan, as the fourth legitimate son, had a fitting status.

This matter truly made Li Ping’an have to consider.

Does this body of his need to marry a wife too?

The main thing is, what to do after marrying a wife? Mortals living to a hundred years is already long-lived, even if this wife begins cultivation, it’s difficult for her to achieve immortality, would it be a repeat of Xuanyuan Huangdi’s entanglements, endlessly granting lifespan to wives?

Li Ping’an pondered slightly in his heart, deciding to find a way to tactfully decline the marriage proposal later.

No other way, he already has three wives, his affections are divided into four parts, as the saying goes, three is the limit, hence it’s better to keep emotional debts to a minimum in the future, and hence life can be a bit easier.

Only a few hundred miles are left to Chaoge City.

Ji Kao clearly became more nervous.

That night in the post station room, Ji Kao and Ji Dan lay opposite each other on the soft beds.

Li Ping’an thought to fall asleep earlier here, and let his consciousness return to his original body to handle some Heavenly Court affairs, but Ji Kao was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, occasionally calling out to him.

"Fourth brother, what kind of person do you think the Great King is?"

"Mighty and wise, tall and dignified."

Li Ping’an responded wearily:

"Big brother, don’t be afraid, there’s no use being afraid, we’re already on the way to Chaoge City, from now on you just have to be a good hostage."

"Dad surely instructed you, that whatever the Great King rewards you with, you must accept all of it, and present the gifts we brought as soon as possible."

"If the Great King rewards beauties, you should enjoy them well, don’t put on any airs of a gentleman, otherwise the Great King might see you as a potential threat."

"How do you know dad instructed me these things?"

"It’s a no-brainer," Li Ping’an turned over, "Go to sleep quickly, tomorrow night we can reach Chaoge, if the Great King insists on rewarding me with a few beauties, ask if you can swap them for wet nurses for me."

"Aren’t you weaned yet?"

"I’m only five years old!"

Ji Fa chuckled: "If you hadn’t said, I almost forgot, you are only five years old this year... Fourth brother, with your intelligence, you might as well be the heir."

"Brother, aren’t you sleepy... it’s one thing to curse your own misfortune, but don’t drag second brother and third brother into it."

"I’m serious, being the heir is indeed tiring."

Ji Kao sighed deeply, resting his hands behind his head, and said softly:

"In the past, our grandfather was also the youngest, but he was smart and thus esteemed for his virtues, so his big brother and second brother purposely left, going on to establish the Yu Kingdom, letting grandfather successfully inherit Zhou Country."

"This has also been passed down as a beautiful tale in various places."

"You actually believe this nonsense."

Li Ping’an sneered:

"Clearly, our grandfather chased away his two brothers, successfully ascended to the position of heir, and those two brothers took their loyal troops and some people to seize a small kingdom."
