Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li was slightly stunned and said: "Your Highness, you want to go find your mother, doesn't she live in the palace
Does she have enough power to compete with Li Ruhai
You and Li Ruhai are half brothers?"
Ye Li asked three questions in a row.
Li Rushan said: "Li Ruhai and I are indeed half-brothers, but his mother and my mother are not the same person.
My mother is the leader of a powerful tribe in the east of the continent, and the daughter of Skyfire Talisman Saint, one of the Seven Great Talisman Saints.
My mother married my father for the sake of cooperation between the two forces. However, we later discovered that it was impossible to form a cooperative relationship between our two forces. My father was too powerful, and he wanted to turn my mother's ethnic group into a vassal of the Tang Dynasty.
In a rage, the mother left the palace and returned to her own tribe alone. There was no more contact between the two forces.
I once went looking for my mother, and she told me that if one day I encountered trouble that I couldn’t face on my own, I could go back to her and she would use her strength to help me.
I think what I am facing now is a problem that I cannot face by myself, so I should be able to go back to my mother. "
When Ye Li heard Li Rushan mention his grandfather, he found out that he was the Skyfire Talisman Saint among the Seven Talisman Saints. That means, there might be another Talisman Saint standing behind Li Rushan.
He believed that with Fu Sheng's help, Li Rushan might really have a chance to compete with Li Ruhai again.
"Your Highness, I wonder where your mother's tribe is. What kind of tribe is it?"
Ye Li asked with some curiosity.
Li Rushan smiled gently, with a trace of longing in his eyes, and said: "My mother was born in the Sky Fire Clan. She is the current clan leader of the Sky Fire Clan, and my grandfather is the Sky Fire Talisman Saint.
The Tianhuo Clan is a very ancient clan. Its power is not very large, but it has many masters.
If we gather all the strength of the Skyfire Clan, it is possible to shake one-fifth of the land of the Tang Kingdom. So as long as my mother supports me, there should still be hope to fight against Li Ruhai."
Hearing Li Rushan's words, Ye Li nodded. Although he didn't know much about the Sky Fire Clan, if Li Rushan could really control a force that could shake one-fifth of the land of the Tang Kingdom, then he would definitely have a say in the Tang Kingdom.
After all, judging from the current situation, although Li Ruhai has many supporters, they are definitely not many, and there are still many people who do not submit to him.
If Li Rushan could bring the power from his mother's side back to the Tang Dynasty, then those ministers of the Tang Dynasty who were unwilling to be loyal to Li Ruhai would definitely choose to stand on Li Rushan's side.
"Okay, Your Highness, then our next goal is to find your mother. I don't know where the Skyfire Clan is, so you have to lead the way."
Ye Li said to Li Rushan.
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Of course, the Skyfire Clan's territory is very secretive, and it would be very difficult for ordinary people to find it.
Moreover, it is difficult for us to escape from the border in our current situation. In two days, Li Ruhai will officially succeed to the throne, and by then the power in his hands will become even greater.
If he chooses to block the border and search the whole country for me, he will find me sooner or later.
So, if I want to leave Tang Kingdom without anyone noticing, I must find someone to help me."
Ye Li asked: "Who can we ask for help? Can we trust them?"
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Of course he is reliable. I saved his life twice and he saved mine once. We have a life-and-death friendship.
However, he was just a merchant from a small border town, specializing in reselling goods between the Tang Dynasty and surrounding countries.
Before he became a businessman, he was a thief who was proficient in disguise, extremely alert, and had many connections.
If we can get his help, maybe we can easily leave Tang State and go to the Skyfire Clan to find my mother."
Ye Li heard this and said, "Okay, then let's go find your life-long friend. I wonder which direction we should go now."
Li Rushan said: "We should go northwest now. My friend is in a small city on the northwest border called Lihua City.
Li Ruhai probably doesn't know the relationship between him and me, so I don't think he will deploy any personnel there.
We will head northwest, and as long as we are careful, we shouldn't encounter any enemies blocking our way."
Ye Li said: "Well, in two days, Li Ruhai should concentrate most of his forces around Tangjing City to prevent you from entering the city, so we should be very safe.
Your Highness, let's not waste time now. We'd better set off as soon as possible. I'm a little worried about those guys behind me. I don't know if they have the ability to track us.
If they had this skill, many of the traces we left behind would have been discovered, and they would have definitely found their way here.”
Hearing Ye Li's words, Li Rushan looked flustered and said, "Oh, by the way, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that the people in the Hidden Killing Team are indeed proficient in tracking skills. They will definitely find us."
Ye Li waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, they can only find this place at most. From here on, I will find a way to cover up our traces. They can't track us.
All right, Your Highness, let's set off now."
After Ye Li finished speaking, he turned around and jumped out of the depression, then began to clear the traces around him.
Afterwards, he took Li Rushan and ran all the way towards the northwest. On the way, Ye Li was very careful to hide his whereabouts and erased all traces of his passing.
After all, Ye Li has been to many places, and his experiences over the years have allowed him to learn a lot of special skills, including how to hide his whereabouts.
After three days of careful trekking, the two finally arrived near the northwest border and found Lihua City.
The two of them tried to take smaller roads along the way and avoid pedestrians as much as possible, so that no one could recognize Li Rushan and inadvertently expose their whereabouts.
After waiting for two or three days without finding Li Rushan, Li Ruhai basically gave up the active search and instead controlled some places where Li Rushan might go and blocked the border.
After that, his mind was completely focused on the coronation ceremony. The throne that was about to be in his hands made Li Ruhai extremely excited every day.
On this day, Li Ruhai came to the palace hall as usual, stood under the high platform and looked at the throne on the platform with a smile on his face.
He is not qualified to sit on it now, but in two days, after he ascends the throne, it will finally be his turn to sit on this position he has longed for.
