Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 785 Shaobai + Shaoge 22

Fifteen miles outside Tianqi City, it was no longer convenient for Ye Xiaoying to continue escorting with the Ye Camp, so he separated from Xiao Se and his party. He remembered what Wu Xin had asked Xiao Se before, and even thought about it a little, realizing the reason why King Langya committed suicide.

The world of adults is always complicated, especially for those who hold high positions in the court. Ye Xiaoying dared not admit that it was his confidants who forced King Langya to death. He could only blame and hate Emperor Mingde who was wary of King Langya. After all, Emperor Mingde was not innocent.

What Ye Xiaoying could think of, the wise Xiao Se would think more thoroughly, but in his eyes, friendship was more important than Mount Tai, far exceeding power and status, so he did not react immediately. He did not understand why his father, Emperor Mingde Xiao Ruojin, ignored so many people and chose to make things difficult for the King of Langya who was obsessed with the world and trapped by his responsibilities.

What's more, Xiao Se has seen all the shortcomings of his father, Emperor Mingde, such as suspicion, narrow-mindedness, sinisterness and paranoia. Compared with the image of Langya King Xiao Ruofeng, who is upright enough, it is no wonder that Xiao Se is more emotionally inclined towards Langya King.

Xiao Se looked at Ye Xiaoying's back as he rode away on his horse. He didn't dare to relax at all. Even if Ye Ruoyi stood on his side, Ye Xiaoying's behavior was too out of control. What's more, the relationship between them was really shallow. As long as the little Langya King appeared, Ye Xiaoying would just rush over without stopping and stand on the little Langya King's side.

At this time, Xiao Se realized that he was really unprepared. The only things he could use were Xueyue City and the four guardians of Apocalypse in the past.

Wu Xin noticed the worry hidden in Xiao Se's brows, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he said to Xiao Se: "White King Xiao Chong's eyes have been restored. It was the master who came to Tianqi City in person and made a deal with White King Xiao Chong about resolving the matter of Night Crow and Medicine Man."

Ye Ruoyi was horrified: "When His Majesty the White Prince went to Xueyue City to announce the decree, no news leaked out at all!"

Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo both felt extremely nervous. They looked left and right with exactly the same expressions and movements, which made Wuxin almost laugh out loud.

Xiao Se was relieved. "My second brother's blindness was an accident that saved me. Even if Yuan Xin didn't treat my second brother, I would still ask the little doctor for help."

Ye Ruoyi really felt that the situation was very tricky this time. "But His Royal Highness the White Prince already has countless supporters. When he was still blind, he could fight against the Red Prince Xiao Yu without losing at all. Now that his eyes have been restored, once the news spreads, I'm afraid we won't be able to win any manpower in the court."

Xiao Se seemed to have thought of something. He exchanged a glance with Wu Xin, and his expression was visibly relaxed. He even smiled to comfort Ye Ruoyi and the equally worried Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie: "Don't worry, the most important thing right now is to enter Tianqi City safely. Only then will you be qualified to worry about these things."

Seeing that Xiao Se's expression had eased a lot, Ye Ruoyi quickly put aside her worries. In her eyes, whether it was Xiao Se or Xiao Chuhe, they were always high-spirited and not afraid of any difficulties.

But before he had walked far, Xiao Se saw Xiao Lingchen, who had disappeared for several years.

Apart from the initial joy and excitement, what Xiao Se cared about most was the purpose of Xiao Lingchen's secret appearance outside Tianqi City. However, there was also the King of Langya among them, so there were some questions that Xiao Se could not ask at all.

Xiao Lingchen certainly understood Xiao Se's concerns, especially the news that the previous eunuch Zhuoqing, who was supposed to be buried with the late emperor, was still alive and even had a dragon-sealed scroll with the name of Langya King Xiao Ruofeng written on it. This made him look down on Tianqi City even more.

It's just that he was not good at speaking and had no idea how to explain to Xiao Se that he had no intention of causing trouble in the court. His goal was the same as Xiao Se's, they just wanted to clear the name of King Langya.

After a long while, Xiao Lingchen finally spoke: "The previous eunuch Zhuoqing is still alive, and he has a dragon-sealed scroll with my father's name on it. Like my father, I yearn for the vast world outside Tianqi City. Now I can't help you with anything. Everything depends on you."

Xiao Se secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the news that Eunuch Zhuoqing was still alive was not good news. He even began to suspect that his father's suspicion of his uncle the Prince of Langya might have been secretly instigated by Eunuch Zhuoqing.

After all, Emperor Mingde was Xiao Se's biological father who doted on and trusted him, and Xiao Se was unwilling to put the hat of jealousy on his father's head. Therefore, he always found excuses to exonerate his father whenever he had the chance.

Everyone was waiting from a distance for Xiao Se to talk to Xiao Lingchen, who had not yet revealed his identity. Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo could only see Xiao Lingchen facing them with a serious face, and could not hear anything about the conversation. Lei Wujie was so anxious that he began to scratch his head and could not help but turn to Wuxin and asked, "Wuxin, what do you think they are discussing? Why does it look like something is wrong?"

Ye Ruoyi lowered her voice and said to everyone: "That person is the only descendant of King Langya, Prince Xiao Lingchen, also known as the Little King Langya."

It turned out to be the bloodline of King Langya. Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo stood on tiptoe in unison and kept looking over there. Wuxin comforted everyone, "Although I don't know what kind of personality the little King Langya has, but from what I know about him, as long as his children don't go astray, they will definitely stand on Xiao Se's side."

"Even if the young Prince of Langya cannot fully support Xiao Se, at least we can all reach a consensus on rehabilitating Prince of Langya."

Wuxin's comfort was very useful. Even Ye Ruoyi relaxed a lot. As for the careless Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie, they only heard the words "stand on Xiao Se's side" from beginning to end.

With Xiao Lingchen's secret escort on this last journey, Xiao Se and his group acted separately and successfully entered Tianqi City. Everyone finally met up successfully at Xiao Se's Xueluo Villa.

Lei Wujie kept looking around and said in surprise: "Xiao Se, I didn't expect you have a Snowfall Villa in Tianqi City!"

Xiao Se nodded reservedly, "This is the Snowfall Villa that I won back from Prince Nan Jue back then."

However, Lei Wujie didn't understand Xiao Se's secret boasting under his reserved attitude. Instead, he enthusiastically told everyone about the Snowfall Villa where snow fell overhead and there had not been a single serious guest for several days in a row: "You don't know that when I met Xiao Se, he was sitting by the window looking at the snow."

"His inn, called Snowfall Villa, was leaking wind from all sides and snow was falling overhead. Even more unfortunate was that some thugs came to rob him. I used the Thunderbolt to scare them off and successfully drove them away."

Sikong Qianluo was about to praise Lei Wujie when he heard Ye Ruoyi say with a smile: "After the Thunderbolt is used, can the inn still be used?"

Lei Wujie's eyes suddenly flickered, Sikong Qianluo couldn't help laughing just thinking about that scene, Wuxin also shook his head in amusement, watching Lei Wujie beating Xiao Se to death.

After the laughter, it was time to talk about business. Ye Ruoyi said to Xiao Se, "You just returned to Tianqi City. There should be a formal occasion to announce the return of Prince Yongan to everyone."

Xiao Se looked at Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie who were practicing martial arts in the other side of the courtyard, and then looked at Wuxin and Ye Ruoyi who were standing by him, and after struggling for a while, he finally confessed honestly: "I returned to Tianqi City not to seize the throne, but to vindicate the prince of Langya, and to give an explanation to General Ye Yu on behalf of the prince of Langya. As for who will sit on the throne, as long as it is not Xiao Yu, I can accept it."

Ye Ruoyi was somewhat unable to accept this at first, but she knew Xiao Se very well, so she quickly accepted the fact that Xiao Se had no intention of the throne. She then started thinking about how to convince her father. Such a huge change was not difficult for her at all.

Wu Xin said, "My master was more optimistic about White King Xiao Chong, so when he was clearly capable of dealing with Night Crow and Medicine Man on his own, he still made a deal with White King Xiao Chong on the condition of healing his eyes."

"King Bai Xiao Chong is naturally inferior to you in every aspect, but the only thing he surpasses you in is his sense of responsibility towards the world."
