Chapter 66
The fourth prince looked at Long Chen, gently picked up the teacup in front of him, poured a cup of tea for Long Chen, and said with a light smile:
"Brother Long is really a dragon among men. Anyway, your courage is admirable."
"Fourth prince, you are too polite, I still don't know how your Excellency recognized me," Long Chen said.
He really wanted to know where he was showing his flaws. He thought that his disguise technique would never go wrong.
"The so-called wise man is bound to make a mistake. To be honest, I really didn't recognize Brother Long, but the ring on your hand reminded me of you. Coupled with your eyes, I recognized it." "The fourth prince pointed at Long Chen's hand.
Only then did Long Chen suddenly realize that the space ring on his hand was engraved with the unique pattern of the Alchemist Guild, and he had forgotten such a big loophole.
"The fourth prince is really observant, which is admirable, but I really want to know, why did the fourth prince help me?" Long Chen said.
"Hehe, Brother Long may not believe it. Actually, I hate Xia Changfeng very much. Anyway, Chu Yao is also my sister. Although in the palace, family affection is a luxury, but in my heart, there is still something. some.
In fact, I can't bear Chu Yao marrying someone she doesn't like, but you also know that the royal family is like this, there are only interests but no emotions, this is the helplessness of being born in the royal family.
I have advised the Empress Dowager several times, hoping that she would take back her life, but unfortunately there was no result. In the end, I offended the Empress Dowager and was expelled from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Today I recognized Brother Long and came to visit Chu Yao, I can see that you are sincere to Chu Yao, but my ability is limited, there is only so much I can help you with." The Fourth Prince sighed.
"The fourth prince is being polite, Long Chen has remembered what happened today." Long Chen said, no matter what, he owed the fourth prince a favor today.
"In addition, I have also investigated the matter of your Long family's salary being withheld, but after half of the investigation, I can't continue to investigate, so I can't do anything about your Long family's affairs," the fourth prince said.
Long Chen frowned and asked, "Could the fourth prince mention something about Long?"
"This, after all, is a matter within the royal family. It's like a puddle of muddy water, and there are intrigues between siblings. I really can't do anything about it." The fourth prince shook his head.
Long Chen's eyes lit up slightly. Although the fourth prince didn't answer directly, but he deliberately mentioned the relationship between siblings, which would be interesting.
Among the princes, there are seven people in total, besides the fourth prince, there are six people, and the seventh prince can also be directly excluded.
Then there are only the first, second, third, fifth, and sixth princes left. On the day of the Fengming Lantern Festival, Long Chen was under the stage and carefully looked at these people. Except for the first prince, none of them looked like shrewd masters.
Then the suspicion was directed at the First 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 very much." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
"Hehe, I didn't say anything, I don't dare to accept your thanks." The fourth prince laughed.
The fourth prince sighed again and said: "Sometimes, I am a little envious of you princes, who can be free, unlike us who are often involuntary, and we have to cater to people who we obviously don't like.
No, Xia Changfeng returned to the Great Xia Empire in ten days to prepare to marry Chu Yao. Although I wished I could beat him up, I had to send him off with a smile on my face. This is the sorrow of being born in the royal family."
"He's leaving in ten days?" Long Chen asked calmly, but there was a stern look in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed.
The fourth prince didn't seem to notice the change in Long Chen's eyes. He took a sip of tea and said to himself, "Yes, he will take a short cut to return to Daxia via Nanguan. After all, there are many things that need to be prepared for the prince's wedding."
Long Chen nodded, and secretly wrote down the matter. At the same time, a bold idea emerged in his heart. If he succeeds, Chu Yao's matter will be solved easily.
The fourth prince chatted with Long Chen for a while before politely sending Long Chen away. When the fourth prince returned, there was an extra woman in the room.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a slender figure, full of luxury, and gave off an awe-inspiring and inviolable feeling.
"You are doing a very dangerous thing," said the woman.
The fourth prince smiled slightly, took a sip from his teacup and said, "Danger is risk, and high risk means high return, I think it's worth it.
If Long Chen fails, then he will become a corpse, which is beneficial to us and harmless. If it succeeds, I can proceed to the next step, mother, you don’t have to worry about it.”
That woman is the mother of the Fourth Prince, Empress Xigong of the Fengming Empire. At this time, she shook her head and said, "I hope you know what you are doing? The reason why I married Fengming was with a mission. I and You all need to remember"
"Hmph, you were originally the princess of Daxia, and you came to Fengming for this purpose, and what about me? I was born as a pawn?
They want to seize the Fengming country, let Xia Changfeng rule the country, and then monopolize that treasure land, and then all the credit will be theirs. Can we, mother and child, only be their tools?Why? "
The fourth prince suddenly roared with a livid face, now he is like a monster that has been stimulated, ready to devour people at any time.
"Xia'er, I know you're not convinced, with your talent, you can't lose to anyone, but this is fate." Nishigong Niangniang sighed helplessly.
"What kind of fate? Fate is changed by people. My life is under my own control. I don't want to be a puppet anymore. I want to be the emperor of this country," the fourth prince snorted coldly.
"It's impossible" Nishigong Niangniang shook her head and said.
"Don't worry, I've planned it long ago. By the way, what's going on with the queen mother?" the fourth prince asked.
"She was hit by my soul-hunting technique, and she can basically control it completely, but just in case, I still add 'food' every day." Nishigong Niangniang said flatly.
"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 picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it down.
……
When Long Chen returned home, he saw several carriages parked at the door, and he couldn't help being stunned. As soon as he entered, 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?
Going straight to the mother's residence, I saw my mother from a long distance, talking with a few people, saw Long Chen coming, and hurriedly said: "Chen'er, come here, I have seen your two aunts."
Among them, there were two women who looked slightly older than their mother, so Long Chen could only call Auntie.
"Hehe, good boy, you've grown up so quickly, hurry up, you guys hurry up and meet your cousin," a woman hurriedly shouted to several people behind her.
Those people were three men and two women, and they looked slightly older than Long Chen. A man said in embarrassment: "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 young, he was the one who shot at his toys and was bitten by Long Chen and cried.
Although he felt a bit abrupt about the arrival of his mother's natal family, seeing the smile on his mother's face, Long Chen couldn't say much, so he could barely cope with it.
After the few people had finished talking and got up to leave, Long Chen learned from his mother that they came to apologize to his mother.
"Chen'er, when our Long family was in crisis, and my mother's family stood by, my mother really held a grudge.
But they came this time and told the whole story. In fact, they also have grievances. It's not that they don't want to help us, but they don't dare. Madam Long sighed.
"Now the matter has passed, and now you have become a noble alchemist, and our Long family has risen.
The mother is also thinking about it, let the past matter go, I hope you don't take it to heart, after all, they are the relatives of the mother."
There was a sneer in Long Chen's heart, why dare not, the Long family was so down and out that they almost had no money to eat, what did they do?
Even if you can't openly help, it is very easy to help secretly with money. To put it bluntly, it is hypocrisy.
Now that Long Chen has risen, everyone in the entire imperial capital knows about it, and he has a close relationship with Master Yun Qi. He dared to compete with Yinghou at the auction, which fully demonstrated Long Chen's dominance.
Long Chen used this method to tell everyone that his Long family is no longer the Long family in the past, and anyone who wants to bully can bully him.
It was only at this time that they came to the door to admit their mistakes. It was clearly the behavior of a villain who was stalking others. Although Long Chen felt disdainful, 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 secular world, you need to endure the worldly way of life.
Seeing that Long Chen didn't dislike her natal family so much, Madam Long felt relieved. After all, no matter how resentful she was, they were all her relatives, and after being alone for so many years, Madam Long also longed for family affection.
After chatting with his mother for a while, his mother briefly asked about Long Chen's current situation, and Long Chen explained vaguely, anyway, it was the set of reporting good news and not bad news, which made Madam Long feel at ease.
After returning from his mother, Long Chen entered the retreat. During this time, he has been busy with locking things, and has never really practiced with peace of mind.
Now he has an idea, which is to keep Xia Changfeng in the Fengming Empire forever, but Xia Changfeng will inevitably bring many guards by his side, so he must be fully prepared to kill this bastard this time.
But since he condensed the No. 11 cyclone, he became more and more confused about his path of practice. He didn't know how to promote the blood coagulation with the Nine Star Hegemony Art.
But he has no way out now, without his dantian, practicing Nine Star Hegemony Body Art is his only way out.
The eleven cyclones are operating at full capacity, crazily absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, like eleven huge bellows, continuously inhaling the aura 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 made him feel relieved.
Three days later, there was a bang in Long Chen's dantian, and his face was dull. It turned out that it was just a saturated cyclone, and the shock that came out did not break through.
Long Chen has an urge to go crazy, when will this be a head, if this continues, he will go crazy himself.
Just when Long Chen was about to go crazy for the Nine Star Tyrant Body Art, Bao'er's voice came from outside the door.
"Master, someone is looking for you"
