"Come to the capital to see me tomorrow!"
When they came out of Yipintang, the Fourth Prince finally gave Yelü Buge a clear answer.
Upon hearing the Fourth Prince's words, Yelü Buge, who had suffered heavy losses, instantly showed a look of surprise on his extremely pained face. He had been trying to find a backer for Yipintang, and the best backer would have been the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince didn't even consider Yipintang worthy of his attention.
Yelü Buge had no choice but to settle for second best and look for other princes as his targets.
Before the Fourth Prince, he had approached the First Prince and the Third Prince, but he was tricked by both of them and gave away a lot of spirit stones and magical artifacts for nothing.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Yelü Buge was overjoyed, the Fourth Prince stopped waiting for his response, gave a shout, and took Rong Xi into the air, preparing to leave Xiaoyaofang.
"etc!"
Rong Xi suddenly took out the Silver Freedom Token she had obtained through her eloquence, "Senior brother, let's use the Unbounded Teleportation Array, I haven't tried it yet!"
"Stop fooling around!"
The Fourth Prince quickly spoke up, "The Unfixed Teleportation Array teleports randomly. No matter how many people stand on the teleportation array, everyone will eventually be in a different place."
"Is that so?!"
Rong Xi's eyes widened. She really hadn't expected the so-called Unbounded Teleportation Array to be like this. If that were the case, wouldn't she be teleported to some unknown place if she actually used the Unbounded Teleportation Array?
"That was close! That was close!"
Rong Xi felt a wave of fear wash over her.
Despite being a Foundation Establishment cultivator and possessing a cheat code like a system, her weak cultivation level is a fatal flaw.
The world is so vast, there are simply not many places she can go!
"Get on, I'll show you!"
The Fourth Prince summoned the Crescent Moon Blade, a magical sword that began to grow larger beneath his feet, emitting a hazy, ever-increasing light.
Rong Xi didn't act coy and let the Fourth Prince take her hand as they went up to the crescent moon.
Su Peisheng, Granny Rui, Granny Xiang, and Sun Heming boarded the flying chariot and flew out of Xiaoyaofang's market.
...
"Master, we've been targeted!"
As the group left Xiaoyaofang, before they had even flown out of the vast mountains, Su Peisheng suddenly spoke, issuing a warning.
The Fourth Prince glanced back indifferently and said, "A bunch of clowns, ignore them!"
As a prince, how could the Fourth Prince not have skilled guards around him? However, these people were of such high level that unless he revealed himself, no one would know that the Fourth Prince had guards around him unless they encountered someone of higher level.
boom!
Almost the instant the Fourth Prince finished speaking, hundreds of vines shot up from the mountains ahead, rushing towards the Fourth Prince and his entourage.
"Awesome!"
Su Peisheng made a move instantly, forming hand seals and igniting a prairie fire that transformed into a fiery dragon, sweeping towards the soaring vines.
According to the Five Elements theory of mutual generation and restraint, fire can burn wood.
The vines came on fiercely, but after coming into contact with the fire dragon released by Su Peisheng, they quickly caught fire and turned to ashes in a moment.
It was these vines that hindered the cultivators who were chasing after them, allowing them to catch up quickly.
"kill--"
These cultivators didn't hesitate at all; they immediately used their trump cards.
Unfortunately, their spell was broken as soon as it was cast.
A powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage suddenly appeared, casually waving his hand to send all the cultivators chasing the Fourth Prince and his companions flying into the dust.
"Greetings, Uncle Longkodo!"
After the cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm appeared, the Fourth Prince led Rong Xi forward to pay his respects.
Uncle Longkodo!
Hearing the Fourth Prince address this person, Rong Xi was shocked. This person was actually Empress Xiaoyi's younger brother. Historically, it is said that the Fourth Prince was able to ascend the throne with the strong support of Longkodo.
Longkoduo was born in the Tongjia family.
The Tongjia clan was known as "half the court" during the Qing Dynasty.
"Your Highness is too kind. This servant is unworthy of such courtesy!"
After receiving the Fourth Prince's greeting, Longkodo spoke with a faint smile.
Rong Xi hesitated for a moment, then decided to temporarily lower her head and follow the Fourth Prince's example, addressing Longkodo as "Uncle Longkodo".
However, it was clear that Longkodo didn't think much of her. If it weren't for Fiyangu, Longkodo probably wouldn't have bothered to even respond to her.
Rong Xi was very unhappy, but she also understood the gap between them.
He was merely a novice who had just established his foundation, while Longkodo had already reached the Nascent Soul stage. The next step would be to transcend the tribulation. As long as he could overcome the heavenly tribulation, he could ascend to the upper realm and become an immortal envied by all.
"Uncle Longkodo, who exactly are these people?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Longkodo, his expression seemingly quite composed.
"They're just a bunch of bandits who make a living by plundering; they don't have any special background!"
Longkodo spoke calmly, but the Fourth Prince knew that this matter was not over yet.
The reason he addressed Longkodo as "uncle" was not only because he had grown up under the care of Empress Xiaoyi, but more importantly, among all the officials, only Longkodo had taken good care of him when he was very young, and people should know how to repay kindness.
Later, after Empress Xiaoyi passed away, the Fourth Prince returned to Consort De's side to grow up, but he still held considerable respect for the Tongjia clan. His ties with the Tongjia clan were also quite close.
Over the years, through cultivating these relationships, the Fourth Prince had developed a considerable understanding of each member of the Tongjia clan.
Longkodo's current demeanor clearly indicates that this matter is not simple.
However, the Fourth Prince didn't inquire further. Since Longkodo hadn't mentioned these matters, it meant that it was something he shouldn't have pried into.
These subtle hints couldn't escape the notice of the Fourth Prince.
"No matter what, I still want to thank my uncle!"
The Fourth Prince remained impeccably courteous.
Rong Xi stood aside, watching Longkodo and the Fourth Prince exchange pleasantries in mid-air, spouting nonsense that was clearly not very informative, and wondered what the Fourth Prince was up to.
Before long, Su Peisheng had brought the people who were chasing them to him.
You're too kind!
Longkodo nodded, and his figure slowly disappeared into the void.
As Longkodo left, the Fourth Prince's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Master, they're all dead!"
After Longkodo left, Su Peisheng spoke somewhat uneasily.
"Check them for any tokens. If so, destroy them!"
"I obey!"
Upon receiving orders from the Fourth Prince, Su Peisheng immediately led his men to search the assassins' belongings. As it turned out, aside from their weapons, these men carried not a single talisman or elixir.
After hearing Su Peisheng's report, the Fourth Prince understood completely.
