GBP Chapter 4 Conversation with the Crown Prince
Chapter 4 Conversation with the Crown Prince
Ying Chen turned around and saw a figure flying from the direction of the imperial city.
The person who can fly must be at least at the Golden Core stage.
The person landed in front of Ying Chen with a smile on their face.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ying Chen bowed slightly. The newcomer was none other than the Crown Prince of Qin, Ying Xiao!
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The others also quickly bowed in greeting.
"Alright, we're brothers, why the need for this!"
Ying Xiao smiled and helped Ying Chen up.
"The etiquette cannot be revoked!"
Ying Chen said in a deep voice.
"Haha! Whatever you say!"
Ying Xiao's eyes flickered, and he laughed loudly, saying...
He had sensed before that this sixth prince was no ordinary person, always saying things that were hard to understand. Today, he was even more certain that this sixth prince was no simpleton. Born into royalty, how could anyone be simple? He was simply hiding his true abilities...
"What brings Your Highness here?"
Ying Chen asked, puzzled.
"What, am I not even allowed to see my younger brother off? After all, once we part, without Father's order, you can't come back whenever you want..."
Ying Xiao said seriously.
"No, no, no, that's not what my brother meant!"
Ying Chen feigned a look of fear and spoke.
"Hahaha! I was just trying to scare you. Were you scared?"
Ying Xiao's expression changed rapidly, and the speed of his movements was remarkable.
"Haha! Your Highness, you certainly have a refined taste!"
Ying Chen echoed this sentiment.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I've come here today to tell you something else!"
Ying Xiao stopped smiling and spoke.
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Ying Chen spoke up.
Ying Xiao glanced around, and Ying Chen immediately understood, signaling everyone to move away...
"Your Highness, there is no one else here. You may speak now!"
After everyone had gone far away, Ying Chen looked at Ying Xiao and said.
Ying Xiao nodded and said, "Sixth Brother, after you go to Liangzhou, you must be careful and take more men with you when you go out..."
"What the Crown Prince means is..."
Ying Chen moved closer to the Crown Prince and spoke in a low voice.
"Shh!"
Ying Xiao chuckled softly and said, "It's exactly what you think..."
Ying Chen's expression suddenly dawned on him. He bowed respectfully to Ying Xiao and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness..."
Ying Chen was naturally aware of the Crown Prince's intentions, but that didn't stop him from feigning compliance...
"It's good that you understand. I've been away from the palace for quite a while now, so I won't stay any longer. Take care on your journey, Sixth Brother. If you encounter any difficulties, please send someone to the capital. I will do everything in my power to help you..."
Ying Xiao patted Ying Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness..."
Ying Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute and said.
Just take these words with a grain of salt. If you actually need something from him, you're lucky if he doesn't kick you when you're down...
"Hahaha! I'm off!"
Ying Xiao seemed to want to show off to Ying Chen, so he flew up and disappeared from Ying Chen's sight in a moment.
Ying Chen shook his head, finding it somewhat laughable.
He then stopped paying attention and turned to walk towards the airship.
The soldiers and the people from the Liang Prince's residence returned here after seeing that the Crown Prince had left...
Once everything was ready, the airship slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards Liangzhou...
On the deck of the flying ship, Ying Chen stood, watching the imperial city recede into the distance, his heart undisturbed. He believed he would return soon, and when he did, it wouldn't be like this time, disappearing without a trace. His return would be earth-shattering...
"Your Highness! Our journey to Liangzhou is quite long, and it will likely take two days..."
The Imperial Guard captain approached Ying Chen and said respectfully.
Ying Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
The Heavenly Profound Realm is vast. The Great Qin alone is larger than the entire Blue Star in my previous life, not to mention that the Great Qin is just an insignificant force in this world!
Reaching Liangzhou in two days is already quite fast...
After losing sight of the outline of the Qin capital, Ying Chen turned and walked into the cabin of the flying boat. Since he had nothing else to do, he figured he might as well cultivate inside...
As for safety, there's even less to worry about. Not only is he already a Nascent Soul cultivator, but Guo Jia is on the flying boat, and Lu Bing is secretly protecting him outside. With two Nascent Soul cultivators guarding him, there are few places in the Great Qin safer than his surroundings...
Time passed quickly, and they soon arrived in Liangzhou. While cultivating, one is completely unaware of the passage of time. That day, Ying Chen was still cultivating when he suddenly felt the surrounding spiritual energy become unusually thin...
He opened his eyes, got up to check the situation...
"Your Highness!"
He stepped out of the room, where Guo Jia, who had been waiting, bowed and greeted him.
Ying Chen waved his hand and said, "I am cultivating, why is the spiritual energy suddenly decreasing?"
Before Guo Jia could speak, a captain of the Imperial Guard entered and said, "Your Highness, we have now entered Liangzhou. For some reason, the spiritual energy in Liangzhou is so much weaker than in other parts of Qin. His Majesty has sent people to investigate, but the reason has not been found. This is also the reason why Liangzhou is such a bitterly cold place..."
Ying Chen nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled. Logically, the concentration of spiritual energy should be roughly the same across different regions within the same dynasty, but Liangzhou was different; he could clearly feel a sudden drop in spiritual energy...
However, Ying Chen didn't say much. Once he arrived in Liangzhou, he would have plenty of time to find out the reason...
"How much longer until we reach Liangzhou Prefecture?"
Ying Chen spoke up.
"Your Highness, we will arrive in another hour..."
"That's what the captain said."
"Ok!"
Ying Chen nodded, then went back into the room.
An hour later, the flying boat stopped outside Shuoyang City, the capital of Liangzhou.
Ying Chen led everyone down the flying boat, and as soon as they stepped off, they saw the crowd waiting outside Shuoyang City...
These are all officials from Liangzhou...
"Greetings, Your Highness, King Liang!"
Cui Chengze, the governor of Liangzhou, led a group of officials forward and bowed.
"Rise! I am new to Liangzhou and need your guidance to familiarize myself with its affairs. Please give me your instruction..."
Ying Chen spoke up.
As soon as Ying Chen finished speaking, the Liangzhou officials present were quite frightened. They repeatedly said that they dared not, how could they be qualified to give advice to a prince!
Do you think you have a long life?
