Nangong Qin understood what Ye Chen meant, but the second prince Nangong Kaige frowned and said, "Why can't I understand a word of what you said?"
"Ahem, cough...Second brother, this is how Brother Ye talks. He always likes to go around and around in confusion. It's normal to not understand!"
Nangong Qinqian smiled and said.
"Master Ye's words are indeed a bit unpredictable!"
Nangong Kaige shook his head and didn't seem to think much about it.
On the other hand, it was Nangong Mingyue on the other side. A pair of beautiful eyes glanced back and forth at Ye Chen and Nangong Qin, and finally sighed silently.
…
Time flies by.
A few days later, they finally crossed the border of the Moon Worshiping Empire and officially entered the Yongan Empire.
At a glance, the sky is filled with yellow sand, desolate and lifeless.
After continuing to move forward for two days, an oasis finally gradually appeared at the end of everyone's sight.
It is the base camp of Skywalker.
"Finally back!"
Looking at the familiar scenes around him, Li Fengyu said with emotion: "This time I went to the Moon Worship Empire. Although there was no near miss, I gained a lot and felt a lot!"
"Now that the purpose of this trip has been completed, it's time for us to return to the Imperial Capital!"
Ye Chen said immediately.
"Why don't you go to my place to rest for a day or two before leaving?"
Li Fengyu frowned slightly.
"Time is running out, I must return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible!"
Ye Chen insisted.
Li Fengyu pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled slyly, "Then wait until I explain something, and then I'll go to the Imperial Capital with you!"
"Isn't this...not good?"
Ye Chen said awkwardly: "You are the head of Skywalker and a wanted criminal in the empire. Wouldn't going to the imperial capital be like throwing yourself into a trap?"
"Are you afraid that I won't leave by your side?"
Li Fengyu said angrily: "Although I am the leader of Skywalker, I have not caused any harm to the empire. Instead, I have tried my best to protect the safety of the Western Region. Why should the empire want me?"
Before Ye Chen could answer, she looked at Nangong Kaige again, "Your Highness, please tell me, if I go to the imperial capital, do you really want me wanted?"
"of course not!"
Nangong Kaige was not cooperative at all and said directly: "The one we want is the previous Skywalker master, and has nothing to do with Miss Li!"
After a pause, he added: "What's more, if it weren't for you Skywalkers, the Western Region of the Empire would not be so peaceful. You have protected the safety of this area. If you go to the Imperial Capital, not only will we not arrest you, but we will give you what you deserve.
Award!"
"You heard it!"
Li Fengyu cast a proud look at Ye Chen, "Your Highness has already said that it will be fine for me to go to the imperial capital!"
Ye Chen: "..."
How come this Nangong Kaige is not moral at all?
It's just that the words have already been spoken, and if he refutes again, it will be too obvious to reject Li Fengyu.
In addition, I went to the Moon Worship Empire before, thanks to Li Fengyu who led the way.
If you refuse now, wouldn't it look like you are a villain who burns bridges?
Recalling that Li Fengyu's strength is not weak, if he goes to the imperial capital with him, he might be able to help him with some things.
"Okay, then let's go to your Skywalker base camp as soon as possible. You explain clearly what you need to explain, and we'll be on our way immediately!"
"Okay, then come with me!"
After receiving Ye Chen's permission, Li Fengyu seemed very happy and immediately flew forward to lead the way.
But Jin Lin's face was a little ugly.
Along the way, she has been holding back.
He thought that after returning to the imperial capital, he would be able to get rid of Li Fengyu, a tough female bandit.
Unexpectedly, the other party would actually follow them back to the imperial capital.
But no matter how depressed she was, Ye Chen agreed and she didn't dare to say anything.
Soon, they returned to the Skywalker base camp. Li Fengyu gave up his position as the head of the family, and the group finally embarked on the journey back to the Imperial Capital.
…
Half a month later.
Several hundred miles outside the imperial capital.
"Phew, I'm finally back!"
As soon as the golden-armored lightning eagle landed on the ground, Nangong Mingyue stretched out excitedly.
Others also had a dream-like illusion.
Two months ago, they set out from here and headed to the border of the Western Region.
This trip not only lasted for two months, but also met countless new faces and experienced countless twists and turns along the way.
Now, he finally returned to the imperial capital safely.
Looking at everything familiar around them, everyone involuntarily felt a sense of survival after a disaster.
However, Nangong Qin had a serious look on his face, "We have been away for two months, and we don't know what the situation in the imperial capital is now?"
"Fifth brother, little sister, if you have encountered several assassinations, it means that the competition for the throne has evolved from the previous intrigues to a life-and-death fight!"
Nangong Kaige's face turned flat and he said solemnly: "However, now that I'm back, I won't let tragedies like fratricide happen again!"
"Then what are you going to do, second brother?"
Nangong Qin asked.
Ye Chen also looked at Nangong Kaige curiously.
Nangong Qin and Nangong Mingyue left the imperial capital before and headed to the border of the Western Regions in order to seek asylum from Nangong Kaige.
Although Nangong Qin's wings have slowly hardened now, the foundation is still not stable after all, and Nangong Kaige still needs to continue to deal with the other princes and princesses.
Only by letting Nangong Kaige come forward to attract most of the attention can Nangong Qin, an ambitious but deeply hidden little prince, secretly develop his own power.
And this is one of the reasons why Nangong Qin originally wanted to compete for the throne, but never revealed it to Nangong Kaige.
After all, any prince who wants to compete for the throne is considered Nangong Qin's competitor.
Nangong Kaige is no exception!
If his ambitions are known to Nangong Kaige, the most likely result will be that the brothers turn against each other.
In this way, not only will Nangong Qin no longer be protected by Nangong Kaige, but he may also become an enemy that Nangong Kaige wants to quickly eliminate.
Even if Nangong Kaige can tolerate it, the relationship between the brothers will definitely become estranged from now on.
"After traveling for so long, I'd better go back to my mansion and take a rest. When my mental state is better tomorrow, I can go to the palace to meet my father!"
Nangong Kaige sighed: "I haven't returned to the imperial capital in ten years. My mansion may have been abandoned and overgrown with weeds!"
"Will not!"
Nangong Qin said with a smile: "You are the second prince of the dynasty after all. Even if you are not around, there will still be servants to help take care of it!"
After a pause, he asked again: "Then after you go to see the emperor, second brother, in addition to reporting on the war on the border of the Western Region, will you truthfully report the assassination of my little sister and me?"
"Of course I must report it to my father truthfully!"
Nangong Kaige responded without thinking: "Even if we brothers are fighting for the throne, we cannot kill each other. This is the bottom line. If anyone dares to cross the line, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood!"
"This...is good!"
Nangong Qin just hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then Brother Lao. I wanted to meet my father several times before, but he refused. This is why my little sister and I were forced to go to the border of the Western Region.
Looking for your reasons!”
"Has my father really become so stupid?"
Nangong Kaige gritted his teeth and said: "No, I have to wake up my father when I enter the palace this time. If this continues, not only will the power of the royal family be lost, but our brothers may also be harmed by traitors!"
"Your Highness, without further ado, let's go back first!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but urge.
He actually doesn't care much about what Nangong Kaige will do next.
The only thing he cared about was the conditions Nangong Qin had promised him before.
As long as he returns to the imperial capital, he will find for himself the method of refining the Imperial Pill, as well as the imperial-level exercises and combat skills.
Now that he has returned to the imperial capital, it is time for Nangong Qin to fulfill his promise.
