Without much deliberation, Li Guang made his decision to attend the sacrificial ceremony for the gods of the land and grain held in the capital.
When Yao Lin learned that Li Guang was going back to the capital, he was shocked. He advised Li Guang not to take any risks, as it would be bad if he were recognized.
However, Li Guang was very confident in his disguise skills and believed that everything was under his control. Yao Lin could not persuade Li Guang and had to agree, but on one condition: he had to accompany Li Guang.
This is definitely not going to work. Yao Lin must recruit new soldiers in Shuixian Village and train the troops.
Yao Lin was aware of this situation, so he had no choice but to select two trusted attendants to accompany Li Guang to the capital.
So far, Zhao Xian still doesn't know Li Guang's true identity, so he didn't say anything about Li Guang's trip to the capital to participate in the sacrificial ceremony for the gods of the land and grain, but simply told him to be careful.
But Zhao Xian still felt it wasn't enough, so he bought a set of protective soft armor from the system for Li Guang to wear at all times.
This protective soft armor is as soft as ordinary clothing and can be easily worn. Because it is made of special materials, it can withstand cuts and stabs without being damaged.
Li Guang was very excited. In those days, having such a soft armor was a treasure.
There are still more than ten days before Li Guang goes to the capital. During this time, I need to do as much as possible and recruit more new soldiers.
More than ten days passed quickly, and Li Guang prepared to go to the capital. It had been three years since he left the capital.
Before leaving, Li Guang handed Zhao Xian an envelope and told him that he was unsure of his return date. He instructed him to open the envelope in case of an emergency, as it contained a solution.
Zhao Xian accepted the envelope and said:
"Okay, you can go to the capital without worry. I know what to do."
For safety reasons, Li Guang disguised himself before setting off. As long as he took care to maintain it, he could keep this face for a month or two without worrying about being recognized.
More than ten days later, Li Guang's carriage finally arrived in the capital.
At this time, the capital was under heavy security, and everyone entering the city was subject to strict questioning.
Li Guang took out the invitation letter given to him by Lord Yao, and the soldiers guarding the city glanced at it and immediately let him pass.
Stepping into the capital, Li Guang was filled with many thoughts. Three years had passed, and the capital was still the same, with little change.
Li Guang did not rush to Yao's residence. Instead, he had the carriage drive around the city, taking in every corner of the capital.
Everything in the capital felt both familiar and strange. He was no longer the little prince he once was. His main purpose in coming to the capital this time was to fulfill a wish.
After returning, they began to work diligently and achieved great success.
It wasn't until evening that Li Guang arrived at the gate of Yao's residence.
At this time, the gate of Yao's residence was tightly closed. Li Guang stood in front of the gate for a long time, then stepped forward and began to knock on the door.
Before long, the door was opened, and a servant poked his head out.
At this time, someone actually came to visit. Who could it be?
The servant saw a forty-year-old man standing at the door, dressed like a peasant, and judging from his face, he was a weathered farmer.
Upon seeing the visitor's appearance, the servant showed a look of delight.
"You've come to visit our master?"
"My name is Li Guang. I have come to pay a visit at the invitation of Lord Yao."
"Then are you from Narcissus Village?"
"Exactly."
"Come inside with me quickly, the master has been waiting for you these past few days."
After the servant finished speaking, he led Li Guang and his two attendants into the house and then closed the door.
Li Guang followed his servant to the reception room in the main house, where Lord Yao was pacing back and forth.
"Sir, Li Guang from Narcissus Village has come to visit."
Lord Yao was taken aback at first, then immediately turned around and looked at Li Guang with a look of surprise and delight.
"Li Guang, it really is you! Please have a seat." After saying this, Lord Yao instructed that his wife be invited over, saying that a distinguished guest had arrived.
The servant immediately obeyed and left. At this moment, Lord Yao began to carefully examine Li Guang's makeup and was very satisfied with the effect of his disguise.
Li Guang looked so bad that he could walk around the palace without anyone recognizing him.
Soon, Madam Yao arrived. She looked at Li Guang, sized him up, and said:
"Master, I heard that a distinguished guest has come to visit. Is it him? I've never seen him before."
Lord Yao glanced around and, seeing that there were servants and maids present, dismissed them.
At this moment, only three people remained in the room. Lord Yao looked at Madam Yao and said:
"This is Li Guang. Don't you always talk about him? He's here today, how come you don't recognize him?"
“I know that Li Guang is the young prince. He should only be a little over ten years old. How can you say that this person is Li Guang?”
"Madam, you may not know this, but if the young prince comes to the capital in his true form, he will be recognized very quickly, and that would be terrible."
"Just to be on the safe side, Li Guang disguised himself like this, so his wife definitely wouldn't recognize him," Lord Yao explained.
Madam Yao looked Li Guang up and down again. She still didn't believe it. The man in front of her had a weathered face, a messy beard, and was covered in wrinkles. No matter how much makeup a person puts on, they can't make them look like that.
"My lord, please stop lying to me. Are you so desperate for the little prince that you've sent someone to deceive me?" Madam Yao said, tears streaming down her face.
“Madam Yao, Lord Yao is right, I am indeed the young prince,” Li Guang finally spoke.
If you can't tell from his appearance, you can definitely tell from his voice that the person in front of you is the young prince.
"Are you really the little prince?" Madam Yao's voice trembled slightly.
“It’s absolutely true, Madam Yao. Please wait a moment, I’ll show you my true colors.”
It was very safe at Lord Yao's house; there were no problems showing one's true self.
Under the watchful eyes of Lord Yao and his wife, Li Guang took out a bottle, squeezed out a few drops of medicine onto a damp cloth, and began to wipe his face.
Gradually, the weathered look on his face began to fade, and a young and handsome face appeared.
Madam Yao finally realized that this was none other than the Little Prince.
Over the past three years, Li Guang has grown quite a bit taller, which is his biggest change.
She immediately stepped forward, grabbed Li Guang's hand, and tears began to stream down her face.
Li Guang helped Madam Yao sit down in a chair, then stepped back and knelt down before Lord Yao and Madam Yao to express his gratitude for saving his life.
Madam Yao straightened up, helped Li Guang up, and looked at him from left to right, unable to get enough of him. She had already regarded Li Guang as Yao Jian.
“Young prince, the master told me that you have suffered a lot in the past three years, and it is not easy for you to survive.”
As Mrs. Yao spoke, she wiped away her tears.
"Madam Yao, don't be sad. I'm perfectly fine. If it weren't for your life-saving rescue, I would have been gone long ago. Lord Yao and Madam Yao are like my second parents."
