Chapter 280 The Deposed Crown Prince Returns



One person, two horses; he changes horses but not the rider.

Traveling day and night, speeding all the way.

In less than ten days, they had already traveled more than two thousand miles.

When they were still six or seven hundred miles away from Tangquan Palace, Helian Jue received a message from Empress Ashina via carrier pigeon.

"During the Tangquan Palace coup, the Second Prince was captured for treason, the Third Prince lost a leg, and the Fifth Prince lost his right eye! The three ministers, Wang, Cui, and Zheng, are handling state affairs."

"The imperial decree summoning the Princes of Yue and Yong back to the capital has been issued. My sons, return immediately!"

It's done!

Mom is such a good wingman!

Helian Jue was overjoyed when he saw the letter his adoptive mother had sent.

Things are going too smoothly.

The second, third, and fifth princes were all rendered useless, leaving only him and the fourth prince among the older princes.

Cough cough, the fourth brother is a real goofball!

With the shrewd Princess Xu assisting him, he certainly won't make any mistakes.

Furthermore, Helian Jue arrived back first.

The Empress's decree is probably still on its way, and Helian Jue is already close to arriving at Tangquan Palace.

Not to mention, A Yuan even pulled off such a "miracle" for him.

With so many advantages, Helian Jue was already in an invincible position.

The position of crown prince belongs to Helian Jue.

"Let's go! Keep going!"

Helian Jue immediately perked up, and the fatigue from the journey over the past few days was swept away.

His vanguard battalion was originally selected by Xie Yuan from tens of thousands of troops, following the special forces model.

He is the strongest in terms of physical strength, combat skills, endurance, and mental fortitude.

Traveling thousands of miles, day and night, was not a problem for them at all.

They are in even better condition than Helian Jue.

At his command, they all saddled and mounted their horses.

Tap tap, tap tap tap!

A rapid sound of hooves rang out, and a thousand-strong cavalrymen swept past like a hurricane.

Who is it?

"His Highness the Prince of Yue has been ordered to return to the capital!"

This time, Helian Jue's vanguard battalion acted with absolute confidence.

The guards at the city gates of the counties near the capital were somewhat astonished: ...

If they remember correctly, a team of messengers left the capital just two days ago.

The King of Yue, who was thousands of miles away, actually returned to the capital "by imperial decree"?

There's definitely something fishy going on here!

But so what?

Now that Her Majesty the Empress has issued an imperial decree, the Prince of Yue's return to the capital is perfectly legitimate.

At most, they're just a bit faster.

That's understandable. His father is sick and his three younger brothers are disabled. He's worried about his family and wishes he could grow wings and run back home!

These are merely speculations from those who know that the Kyoto Imperial Palace has become shrewd.

None of them expected that their words would come true.

Helian Jue did not have wings, but he still "flew" to Tangquan Palace.

...

"A-Xi?"

The camera then pans back to Tangquan Palace.

Empress Ashina and the others stood on the palace wall, staring in disbelief at the enormous sphere and the proud figure standing beneath it.

After three years, she finally met her Ah Xi!

"Mother! Your son is back!"

Helian Jue rode in a hot air balloon a few times and gradually began to get used to the feeling of floating in mid-air.

It was windy and a bit cold, but it was really refreshing.

It was as if the entire capital city was prostrate at his feet.

He is the ruler of this world!

This time, in order to make his appearance more spectacular, Helian Jue took a risk.

He didn't let the craftsmen drop the ropes; after checking the wind direction, he launched the hot air balloon.

Xie Yuan once suggested that the altitude could be adjusted by controlling the intensity of combustion, thereby achieving a safe landing.

Changing direction is impossible.

Helian Jue didn't need to freely change positions in the air.

All he needs to do is appear at Tangquan Palace and then slowly drift through the capital!

The 1,000-strong vanguard battalion has been divided into several teams and is heading to the possible landing sites to provide support, according to the estimated directions and locations.

Furthermore, even if their predictions fail and they cannot successfully join forces with Helian Jue, Helian Jue is not worried.

The capital city was once his home turf.

Having operated for over a decade, he had not only kept a number of secret guards.

He also had his own power base in the capital.

There was also Empress Ashina, who entrusted all her connections and trump cards to Helian Jue.

Whenever Helian Jue appeared in the skies above the capital, it would cause a commotion among the people.

Helian Jue's men will also find out.

They will definitely follow the direction of the balloon to find his trail.

Helian Jue had enough confidence to ensure his safety.

"Good! Good! My son, you've finally returned!"

Empress Ashina almost wept with joy.

However, in her excitement, she didn't ask too many questions.

For example, why can Ah Xi fly?

What is that strange, large sphere? How did it come about?

Empress Ashina knew that now was not the time to ask these questions.

Her Ah Xi is back, and in such a miraculous way that it's enough to shock everyone!

miracle?

A good omen?!

Empress Ashina finally realized what was happening.

She slightly raised her chin, looking proudly at Princess Yongchang, who was still staring wide-eyed at the sky.

"Your Highness, I remember you just said that if my Ah Xi could descend from the heavens, you would recommend him as the Crown Prince?"

Princess Yongchang: ...

She still hadn't come to her senses.

What... what's going on?

Helian Jue, who should have been thousands of miles away, suddenly appeared in the capital.

He actually "flew" over.
