"Second Brother?!"
"Li Shimin is my second brother!"
"Huo Qubing is the Champion Marquis of the Great Han Divine Court!"
"Second Brother once sent me across the River of Time to kill a whole bunch of big oafs in the Great Han Divine Court!"
"Big oafs just like them!"
The moment Li Yuanba heard the name Li Shimin, his spirits lifted, and the words blurted out of his mouth.
But after he finished speaking,
he sank back into confusion.
Second Brother was Li Shimin.
Then who was Eldest Brother?
Who were Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother... ?
Did I have that many brothers?
And who was I?
The Prince of Xifu?
Li Yuanba?
Right!
I was Li Yuanba!
I was the Prince of Xifu!
Excitement spread across his face, and he roared:
"I am Li Yuanba of Great Tang!"
"I am the Prince of Xifu of Great Tang!"
But then his spirits sank again. His eyes reddened, and tears fell:
"Second Brother! Second Brother, where are you!"
"Yuanba misses you so much."
He remembered.
He remembered so many things.
And he also remembered where his hammers had gone.
His hammers had broken.
In that battle, he had encountered an enemy more terrifying than any he had ever faced. Both his hammers had shattered from striking that enemy, yet he still had not managed to kill them.
He had seen it with his own eyes—
his second sister-in-law had died in battle.
Second Brother had died in battle, too.
All of Great Tang's mighty generals had died in battle.
"Second Brother!"
"You are the Lord of Saint Tang!"
"Even I'm not dead! You can't possibly be dead!"
