576 An undefeatable de


    Lóng Wei and Hei Chengxi walked out of Qizhen’s manor. “Prince Lóng Wei should understand the pain of his father. For ten years, he was not in his right mind. Things were not easy for him. He had no way toe here,” Hei Chengxi elucidated to Lóng Wei.


    “I understand him better, Hei Chengxi,” Lóng Wei said and he halted at his ce.


    Hei Chengxi stopped in front of him and turned around. “He misses Lady Yu,” Hei Chengxi said, “if his son keeps making him feel guilty, then it can affect him mentally.”


    “Thank you for telling me that,” Lóng Wei stated and walked ahead when Hei Chengxi held his arm.


    “Do you want to argue with me? I know how to take my rtionship with my father. You do not need to guide me,” Lóng Wei stated.


    “I am your well-wisher, Prince Lóng Wei. I merely want you to be polite with your father,” Hei Chengxi stated.


    “I told my father how tough it is for me to change my tone. This is the way I have grown up,” Lóng Wei said and yanked his arm from Hei Chengxi’s grip. “I have no intention to make my father guilty. I want him not to be too kind. He still sees goodness in the people, especially those people, who can be our enemies,” he exined to Hei Chengxi.


    “Do you have anything more to say?” Lóng Wei asked.


    Hei Chengxi shook his head.


    .....


    “You were always responsible in your duty. Enjoy your family time from tomorrow onward,” Lóng Wei asserted.


    “After spending time in the ce where Monk Yuze grew up, where will Prince Lóng Wei head to?” Hei Chengxi inquired.


    “I have not decided yet,” Lóng Wei said.


    “Prince Lóng Wei needs to talk with the locals around him. He has to keep in mind that not everyone can like his way of talking,” Hei Chengxi advised him.


    “I will keep it in mind,” Lóng Wei stated.


    Hei Chengxi looked at the sword that he had brought with him. He forwarded it to Lóng Wei and said, “I give this to Prince Lóng Wei.”


    “Shouldn’t you give this to Huang Xi? He is your son and he will like it,” Lóng Wei suggested to him. “Moreover, I do not even talk respectfully with you,” he remarked.


    “This sword is bestowed to me by my grandfather when I was five years old. He told me if I find any suitable person for this sword, then I must hand it to that person. I want to give it to Prince Lóng Wei.” Hei Chengxi’s lips had a tiny smile on them and his eyes carried a lot of hope for Lóng Wei.


    Lóng Wei could not refuse it and took it from him. He found how heavy the sword was and its design was unique. “Did you fight the battles with this sword?” Lóng Wei asked.


    “Yes,” Hei Chengxi said.


    “I had heard that enemies used to call General Hei’s sword an undefeatable de,” Lóng Wei said with a smile. Hei Chengxi nodded at him. He beheld the sword and continued to smile.


    “Prince Lóng Wei, be a great son to your father,” Hei Chengxi stated.


    “I will,” Lóng Wei said and thanked him to find him suitable for that sword.

    Qiu Mu heard Xiwan speak and turned to look at him. “Someone has seen Cha Ying?”


    “Yes, Prince Mu,” Xiwan replied.


    “Where?” Qiu Mu asked.


    “She left for Dongqing town in a cart. I have brought the person who drives the cart,” Xiwan asserted.


    “Where is he?” Qiu Mu asked with desperation.


    Xiwan turned to the door and asked the person toe inside. A middle-aged man walked in with two soldiers behind him. He bowed to Qiu Mu, who asked him to tell him everything.


    The middle-aged man exined everything to Qiu Mu, who smiled to hear that. He asked the man to leave and looked at Xiwan.


    “We need to head to Dongqing,” Qiu Mu stated.


    “Chang Shi and I can go there tomorrow morning, Your Highness,” Xiwan said.


    “No. I will go there to find Cha Ying,” Qiu Mu asserted.


    “Prince Mu, Miss Kang might have changed her location. So, first, let us confirm. Dongqing is not far from Qinping. So, if we find Miss Kang in that town, we will send a message to His Highness,” Xiwan suggested to Qiu Mu.


    Qiu Mu agreed to Xiwan. “Do not let her find out that you and Chang Shi are searching for her,” Qiu Mu asserted.


    “Miss Kang hardly knows about us,” Xiwan said with a smile and bowed to him.


    “Thank you, Xiwan. Please express my gratitude to Chang Shi as well,” Qiu Mu said.


    “I will. Prince Mu should thank Prince Lóng Wei. He is the one, who told us to ask those people who drive either carriages or carts,” Xiwan said. He again bowed to Qiu Mu and left the chamber.


    “I cannot believe that Lóng Wei has turned into such a good human or he was always good. It is just I failed to see that,” Qiu Mu murmured and called in a maidservant. He asked her to bring the overcoat, which she did. After he put on the overcoat, he left to see Lóng Wei.


    Qiu Mu could have gone tomorrow, but because tomorrow was the coronation ceremony of the next king, he decided to meet Lóng Wei in the evening only. Soon, he reached outside the manor of Lóng Wei and walked in.


    To his surprise, Lóng Wei came after him and asked him why he was in his manor.


    Qiu Mu turned around and marched toward Lóng Wei in happiness. “Cha Ying is in Dongqing town. Thank you, Lóng Wei,” He said.


    “But I did nothing,” Lóng Wei stated with slight confusion.


    “Xiwan told me how you asked them to interrogate the drivers of the local carriages and carts,” Qiu Mu asserted.


    “I hope you will find her soon,” Lóng Wei said. Before he could speak further, they both heard a feminine voice. They both turned to look at the servant, who was from Xiuying’s manor.


    “Consort Xiuying wants to see the Sixth Prince,” the maidservant informed Lóng Wei. He furrowed his brows together while Qiu Mu gazed at him.
