"prince how do you think they are, have they reached Chen county?"

"you take it easy, I'm sure they're all fine and there's also A'jue so there's no need to go and until or not later we'll know the answer once we get there"

"yes you're right prince"

"oh yes, Xiao Yan you don't need to call me prince anymore, just call Xuan Ye. After all you guys already know about me, so no need to hesitate to call my name"

"well prince, uh not A'Xuan. Can I if I call you with that?"

"of course, just so you're comfortable you can call me by a name you like"

"all right, we'll be passing through the city out front, so is there anything you need in there?"

"no, we should just miss it. If we stop, the journey will be hampered and we also don't know, if there are other killers who catch up with us"

"yes you're right, well next trip to Chen County"

a few days had passed, they were now almost at their destination and they would pass through one more city and after that they reached Chen county. finally they had now reached Chen county, they had now reached Chen county, but they haven't seen their friends there.

then the prince looked for a place so that they could rest while waiting for Ye Jing's group to arrive. They also stopped by a diner near the roadside, shortly after they saw Ye Jing's group. then Xiao Yan shouted to them.

they saw and also heard Xiao Yan yell and then they approached him. Xiao Yan asked them why they had just arrived.

Rong Ji replied"It's hard to explain, but we should have arrived earlier than you, but in the middle of our journey intercepted by a herd of robbers, they almost managed to rob us, he said, but luckily there's A'jue so we can all survive"

"fortunately you're all safe and we can meet here"

"yes, after this, what are we going to do?"

"we're going to the little village up ahead and we need to find the maker right away, before the killers come back after us"

"yes you're right, the killers are not tired of chasing us" said Rong Ji

"fine because you've all gathered, then rest for a while and after that we'll continue the search"

"we should not continue the search, it seems that this area is not safe"

"you're right the sooner the better"

"we shouldn't waste any more time and we should just leave now"

"yes right"

after eating, they left the place and continued their journey to the village in front of them. they asked the locals if they knew of the jade pendant maker named Lian Feng? one of the residents knew him, and he told them that Lian Feng now lived near the end of the village road.

after knowing it, they immediately headed there.It did not take long they arrived at the end of the village road. it turned out that it was true that there was in one old house there but somehow it did not look like there was anyone. They went to check, it turned out that master Lian Feng was sick and there was no one to take care of him.

seeing Lian's ailing master they helped him and took care of him.Lian initially refused them but because they came to find out the owner of the jade finally, Lian's master was willing to accept their help.

mr. Lian was old enough now that he could only lie limp on his bed, because he felt that there was not much time, he asked them anything, no matter what, what did they want to know from that jade pendant?

the prince replied, "master can you tell us who the real owner of the jade pendant is?"

"em.. the owner of the jade pendant was the property of a married couple.the husband was the prince of the Xiao kingdom and his wife was the princess of the Long kingdom"

"you mean, the owner of that jade pendant is the prince of the Xiao kingdom?"

"yes, but unfortunately the prince and his wife are dead"

"then what about that jade pendant?

"that jade pendant, it might now be in Xiao's kingdom and one other piece of it was taken away to Long's kingdom"

"then do you know who the Xiao royal person who once kept the jade pendant was?"

"if I don't remember wrongly, that person was also a prince of the Xiao kingdom, he was the younger brother of the dead prince"

"what about the name, do you know the prince's name?"

"i don't know what his name was, at that time all I wanted to do was hand the jade pendant over to the owner"

"that's it, sir, then thank you for helping us this time"

"while young man, if you want to know what the prince's name is, try to find Eunuch Li. I was then escorted by him to the prince"

"Eunuch Li? wasn't it the old Eunuch who had always been by the emperor's side"

"alright sir I understand, then thank you for the information"

finally, they got a clue where the jade pendant was. They were happy with it. Because Lian was sick they decided to take her to the village hall to be cared for by the villagers. after completing their duties they returned to the kingdom.

they came back with a different route than before and that route didn't have to take much time. About 4 days they finally arrived at the imperial capital.once arrived now they could return to their homes and rest again.

the assassins, now failing to carry out their duties, now return to the second prince's residence. the second prince, knowing that the killers had failed, told them all to kill themselves in front of him because they had failed to do their duty and suicide was the punishment they had to accept.

then the third prince who found out that the jade pendant was in the hands of the emperor made it difficult to get the jade pendant back.he could not tell the true events to the emperor, he was afraid that if the emperor knew, he could not, he is not the original prince so he and his friends will be threatened.

he sat pensively in the royal garden thinking about the idea of being able to get back the jade pendant. The first prince happened to be in the palace and he came to visit the emperor, seeing the younger brother who was pensive made him approach the younger brother.

"em...the third sister what are you doing here and why do you seem so restless? are you having any problems?"

"oh first brother, sorry to make you see that, I do have a problem but this will be hard to explain"

"then what if you tell me. After I finish visiting the emperor, I will visit your residence, how?"

"Hem well sis, then I say retreat first and I will wait for you in my residence"

...After finishing visiting the emperor, the first prince went to his sister's house...

"prince, I'm sorry our master is waiting for you inside and he told me to take you to his place, please follow me prince" said the third prince's bodyguard

"then that's fine"

"First brother, you're done with the emperor, why did you come so quickly? doesn't this interfere with your time?"

"Hem how is it possible, you're the only person close to me, and I've been hearing lately that you're doing a seminar in the southern city so as long as you're gone I'm lonely at the palace"

"sister could be, sis there's something I want to tell you, I'm not..."

"quite a sister, I already know if you want to say, that you're not my third sister, are you?"

"how did you know that?"

"i know, because there's something strange about you and your attitude. Ever since you woke up from your illness you've been the one who's been around. usually you feel very comfortable in your residence and you are also never absent to come to my residence"

"but since you realized, you've started to differ from what you used to be. I also told my subordinates to investigate what happened to you, after that I just found out if you're not him"

"sorry first prince, I didn't mean to deceive you and the emperor. I don't really know why this happened, either, but after I found out it turned out to have something to do with the jade pendant that was currently in the hands of the emperor"

"tell me what I can do for you and you have nothing to fear, I will never divulge this secret and this is enough I know"

"thank you brother, I'm actually ashamed of you, I'm sorry I wasn't honest with you from the beginning, but now I'm really confused, I don't know what to do for now "

"my sister knows what you're looking for. You want to find a way to get that jade pendant right?"

"how did you know?"

"i know all you have to do with you, you don't need me to help you get that jade pendant and now all you need to do is stay away from the second prince, he has big ambitions with the throne, I can't get you involved in this and I won't let him take that throne either"

"i know, brother, you don't need to talk about that, besides I also have some business to do with the second prince, because my friends got hurt and I won't forget what he did"

"sister what if we worked together to bring him down, that way he wouldn't dare hurt anyone again"

"well, brother, I accept my brother's good offer, and I will reply one by one for what he has done to me"

"this is good for my sister, so let's celebrate your return to the kingdom by drinking until drunk, if not drunk then can't go home"

"haha sister could have, now I don't need to go home because we are in my residence. well the waiter take the best wine here and serve it to my sister"

"haha sister even so, you still can't go back to your room if you're not drunk yet, you understand"

"alright, brother"

it turned out that the first prince or his older brother already knew about his true identity, but he still accepted Xuan Ye as his younger brother even he also offered help to his younger brother. now the matter of the jade pendant that was in Xiao kingdom was already insurmountable and now all they needed to look for was the jade pendant that was in Long kingdom.

the next day the third prince went to Xiao Yan's residence, to let him know if he had any help from the first prince.Hearing that made Xiao Yan astonished, he did not expect that the first prince would help them, but after hearing the explanation from the prince he understood, then they discussed the following plan.

"prince what about the other jade pendant, isn't that pendant in Long kingdom?"

"yes, you're right but now our royal status with Long's kingdom is the enemy, how can we get into Long's kingdom if the situation is this way"

"really, it will be difficult for us to go to Long Kingdom now"

"in addition, I will also make calculations with the second prince, I will make him understand what it's like to play with us"

"the prince is a dangerous thing, we should think about the counter-back strategy, when the situation is possible"

"yes you're right"

"oh yes prince how about your wound is it healed?"

"em yeah, you don't have to talk about it, the wound is dry and now it's better"

"good then"

...***...

"*prince.. prince" call the eunuch of the palace.

"what is Eunuch Yan? why are you in such a hurry?"

"this is the prince, the emperor told me to take you to the palace right now"

"why did the emperor send him to the palace?"

"i don't know the prince, we'd better get there"

"Hem okay"

"Xiao Yan, I leave first if there is time, will I stop by your residence"

"yes prince take it easy, the door of this house will always be open for you" Xiao Yan shouted

"well then rest well*"

the Prince and Kasim immediately went to the palace. When he arrived at the palace, there was already a first prince and a second prince waiting for him. the second prince also seemed annoyed with the third prince because his subordinates failed to finish him off.

"*do you look around, long time ago who do you think you are?" the second prince

"what do you mean, if you're not happy, you can go in and meet the emperor now and why wait for me anyway I didn't tell you to wait for me"

"don't fight anymore, we'd better get in before the emperor gets angry"

"Hem watch out for you"

...they also went into the emperor's office...

"greet the father of the emperor, may he live a long life" bowing

"Hey well, you guys sit there's no need to be formal we're all family here"

"do you know why I called you all here?"

"is it possible to prepare for a hunting event?"

"yes you're right, I'm calling you to discuss the event, last year we couldn't do it because of bad weather, but now the weather is good"

"then when will the emperor's father carry out the event?"

"the event will be held in early spring, and many people will participate in the event, therefore I gather all of you here to help me organize this hunting event well, besides that you can also participate"

"alright father emperor, we will definitely make the event this time even more festive and we will also present the results of our hunt to the father of the emperor"

"Hem well, I hope the show can go well without any accidents"

"oh yes, the emperor's father may I give you some advice?"

"yes please"

"father, I suggest that in the hunt we should have a third brother who serves as a security guard, because the emperor's father knows himself, if third sister's ability in martial arts is much better than the rest of us, isn't it third sister?" seringai the second prince

" no brother is wrong, my martial ability is not as good as the second brother spoke. I think the second brother is the more powerful"

"Where is possible, obviously you're better"

"that's enough, you don't have to worry about that. For the security part I gave to General Lan and your job is just to help me enliven the event, you know if I'm no longer young, you know, now that I'm old my hunting skills are also decreasing, so this time I want you to represent me in the show"

"well, our father won't let you down"

"ha.ha is very good, you must be excited, you are still young and still have to continue to hone your skills and in the event of hunting times if one of you can be a winner, he said, I'll give you what you're asking for"

"was the emperor's father serious about it? it means the emperor's father will give us whatever we ask"

"yes that's*"
