The fourth prince looked at Long Chen, gently lifted the teacup in front of him, poured a cup of tea for Long Chen, and chuckled:
"Brother Long is really a dragon among people. Anyway, your courage is admirable."
"Fourth Prince, you are too polite, the younger brother still doesn't know, how did you recognize me?" Long Chen said.
He really wanted to know where he had exposed himself, and he believed that his disguise technique would never go wrong.
"The so-called wise man must be at a loss. To be honest, I really didn't recognize Brother Long, but the ring on your hand reminded me of you, and with your eyes, I recognized it. "The Fourth Prince pointed at Long Chen's hand.
Long Chen suddenly realized that the space ring on his hand was engraved with the unique pattern of the Alchemist Guild, and he forgot such a big loophole.
"The fourth prince is really observant and admirable, but I really want to know why the fourth prince wants to help me?" Long Chen said.
"Hehe, Brother Long may be a little unbelievable when you say it. In fact, I hate Xia Changfeng very much. Anyway, Chu Yao is also my younger sister. Although in the palace, family love is a luxury, but in my heart, there is still a certain amount of love. some.
Actually, I don't have the heart to marry Chu Yao to someone she doesn't like, but you also know that the royal family is like this, only interests have no emotions. This is the helplessness of being born in the royal family.
I have spoken to the Queen Mother several times, hoping that she can take her life back, but unfortunately nothing came of it. In the end, I angered the Queen Mother and was kicked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
I recognized Brother Long who came to visit Chu Yao today, I can see that you are sincere to Chu Yao, but my ability is limited, there is only so much I can help you." The fourth prince sighed.
"The fourth prince is very polite. Today's matter is in Long Chen's heart." Long Chen said, no matter what, he owed the fourth prince a favor today.
"In addition, I have also checked the matter of your Long Family's salary being deducted, but I can't check half of it, so I can't do anything about your Long Family's affairs," said the fourth prince.
Long Chen frowned and asked, "Can the Fourth Prince mention Long Mou?"
"This, after all, is an internal affair of the royal family. It's like a puddle of muddy water, and there is intrigue between siblings. I really can't do anything about it." The fourth prince shook his head and said.
Long Chen's eyes lit up slightly, although the fourth prince did not answer directly, but he deliberately mentioned the relationship between siblings, which was somewhat interesting.
There are seven princes in total, except for the fourth prince, there are six others, and the seventh prince can also be directly excluded.
Then there are only the eldest, second, third, fifth, and sixth princes left. Long Chen was in the audience on the day of the Fengming Lantern Festival. He carefully looked at these people. Except for the first prince, none of them looked like shrewd masters.
Then the suspicion was directed at the eldest prince, and at the Huayun auction house that day, Long Chen recognized the murderer who killed Li Hao, and all the evidence pointed the way.
"Thank you," Long Chen said with a fist.
"Hehe, I didn't say anything, I don't dare to be your thanks," the fourth prince laughed.
The fourth prince sighed again and said, "Sometimes, I envy you, the princes, who can be free, unlike us, who are often out of our own hands, and we have to cater to those we obviously don't like.
No, Xia Changfeng will return to the Great Xia Empire ten days later to prepare to marry Chu Yao, although I wish I could beat him up, I have to give him a smile, this is the sadness of being born in the royal family"
"He left in ten days?" Long Chen asked calmly, but there was a stern look in his eyes, which was quickly suppressed by him.
The fourth prince didn't seem to see the change in Long Chen's eyes. He took a sip of tea and said to himself: "Yeah, he will take the South Pass and take a shortcut back to Daxia. After all, the prince's wedding requires a lot of preparations."
Long Chen nodded and wrote down the matter secretly. At the same time, a bold idea emerged in his heart. If he succeeds, Chu Yao's matter will be solved.
The fourth prince chatted with Long Chen for a while before he politely sent Long Chen away. When the fourth prince returned again, there was a woman in the room.
The woman looked in her thirties, with a slender body, full of luxurious aura, giving people a sense of awe-inspiring inviolability.
"You are doing a very dangerous thing," the woman said.
The fourth prince smiled slightly, took a sip from the teacup and said, "Danger is risk, and high risk means high reward, I think it's worth it.
If Long Chen fails, then he will become a corpse, it will be beneficial to us, if it is successful, I can carry out the next step, mother, you don't have to worry about it"
That woman was the mother of the Fourth Prince, the Empress Xigong of the Fengming Empire, she shook her head and said, "I hope you know what you are doing? The reason why I married Fengming was with a mission. You need to keep in mind"
"Hmph, you were originally Princess Daxia and came to Fengming for this purpose, but what about me? I was born a chess piece
They want to capture Fengming Jiangshan, want Xia Changfeng to rule the country, and then monopolize that treasure land, then all the credit will be theirs, can we mother and son only be their tools? Why? "
The fourth prince suddenly roared with a livid face, and now he is like a provoked magical beast that will devour people at any time.
"Xia'er, I know you're not convinced. With your talent, you won't lose to anyone, but this is life." Niangniang Niigong sighed helplessly.
"What life? Life is changed by people. My life is under my control. I don't want to be a puppet. I want to be the emperor of this country." The fourth prince snorted coldly.
"It's impossible," Nishimiya said, shaking her head.
"Don't worry, I already planned it, by the way, how is the Queen Mother?" the fourth prince asked.
"She has been hit with my Soul Destroyer, so she can basically control her completely, but just in case, she still adds 'materials' every day." Empress Nishigong said lightly.
"That's good, let's wait for the good news from Long Chen now, I hope he won't let me down." A smile appeared on the fourth prince's face, and he took the teacup in his hand and drank it.
…
When Long Chen returned home, he saw a few carriages parked at the door, and he couldn't help but be stunned. As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper told Long Chen that there were guests at home.
Long Chen was stunned. It seems that no one has visited the Long family for several years. When did the guests appear
I went straight to my mother's residence, and I saw my mother from afar, talking with a few people, seeing Long Chen coming, hurriedly said: "Chen'er, come here, I have seen your two aunts"
Among the people, there were two women, who seemed to be slightly older than their mother, so Long Chen had to call Auntie.
"Hehe, good boy, you've grown so big in a flash, hurry up, you guys have seen your cousin soon," a woman hurriedly called out to the few people behind her.
Those three men and two women looked slightly older than Long Chen, and a man said embarrassedly: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for many years."
Long Chen nodded. He had an impression of this person. When he was playing together when he was a child, he shot his toys and was bitten by Long Chen crying.
Although it felt a little abrupt about the arrival of his mother's family, but seeing the smile on his mother's face, Long Chen didn't say much, so he had to deal with it.
When those few people had almost finished their words, and after getting up to say goodbye, Long Chen learned from his mother that they were here to apologize to his mother.
"Chen'er, when our Long family was in crisis, my mother's family stood by, and my mother really held a grudge in her heart.
However, when they came this time, they told the whole story. In fact, they also had grievances. They didn't want to help us, but they didn't dare. "Mrs. Long sighed.
"Now that things have passed, and now you have become a noble alchemist, our Long family has also risen.
Mother also thought about it, let the past things pass, I hope you don't take it to heart, after all, they are mother's relatives"
Long Chen let out a sneer in his heart, why don't they dare, the Long family was so depressed that they almost ran out of money to eat, what did they do
Even if you can't help openly, it's very easy to help with money secretly. To put it bluntly, it is hypocrisy.
Now that Long Chen is rising, everyone in the entire imperial capital is ignorant, and he has a close relationship with Master Yun Qi. He dares to compete with Yinghou at the auction, which fully shows Long Chen's domineering.
Long Chen told everyone in this way that his Long Family is no longer the Long Family of the past, and it is not something that anyone who wants to bully can bully.
It was only at this time that he came to the door to admit his mistake. It was clearly the behavior of the villain who pursued the flames. Although Long Chen despised it, his mother had already forgiven them, and it was inconvenient for him to care about anything.
As long as the mother likes it, let her go. Living in the world, you need to endure the world's way of life.
Seeing that Long Chen is not so disgusted with her family, Mrs. Long can be relieved. After all, no matter how resentful it is, it is her own relatives, and after so many years of loneliness, Mrs. Long also longs for family affection.
After chatting with my mother for a while, my mother briefly asked about Long Chen's current situation, and Long Chen vaguely explained it.
After returning from his mother, Long Chen entered the retreat. During this time, he has been busy with locking things, and has not really practiced with peace of mind.
Now he has an idea, that is to keep Xia Changfeng in the Fengming Empire forever, but Xia Changfeng will definitely bring a lot of guards by his side, he must be fully prepared, this time he must kill this bastard.
But since the eleventh cyclone was condensed, he became more and more confused about his own cultivation path.
However, he has no way out now. Without his dantian, practicing the Nine Star Hegemony Art is his only way out.
Eleven cyclones are running at full force, madly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, like eleven huge bellows, continuously inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into Fengfu Star.
Long Chen found that the efficiency of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more than ten times that of the past ten cyclones, which gave him a lot of peace of mind.
Three days later, there was a loud noise in Long Chen's dantian, and his face was sluggish. It turned out that it was just a saturated cyclone, and the shock that was emitted did not break through.
Long Chen has an urge to go crazy. When will this be the case? If it goes on like this, he will go crazy.
Just when Long Chen was going crazy for the Nine Stars Hegemony Art, Bao'er's voice came from outside the door.
"Master, someone is looking for it" (to be continued)
