My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"Yes, there is..."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"I originally wanted to drive it back to Qin, but I found that I couldn't drive it into the front yard at all. To drive it here, I would need to take a driving test, and I simply didn't have time to take the test, so it's been sitting there ever since."

He touched his chin.

"You mean you want me to give it a try? To see if I can transport the carriage back to Qin?"

Old Zhu nodded.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment.

"It's not impossible, in fact, I also want to drive this car back."

No sooner had he said this than Fusu stepped forward.

"Father! This matter is still unknown, and the outcome is uncertain. As the eldest son, how can I stand by and watch my father put himself in danger? Please allow me to undertake this trial!"

Fusu looked up, his gaze clear and unwavering as he looked at Ying Zheng.

"If this road is feasible, I will scout out the path for Father, and then Father can proceed. If this road is perilous, I... will have no regrets!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"This kid does have some filial piety and courage."

Li Shimin looked at Fusu as if he saw another figure, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Ying Zheng looked at his son who was standing in front of him, remained silent for a moment, and then his deep gaze lingered on Fusu's face.

Finally, he nodded almost imperceptibly.

"allow."

"But be careful."

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Fusu breathed a sigh of relief.

The group returned to the backyard. The brand-new black Qin sedan was parked quietly.

Under Chen Mo's brief instructions, Fusu opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

He adjusted the seat and rearview mirrors as he had seen before, and placed his hands properly on the steering wheel.

Then, he looked at Liu Che outside the car.

Liu Che recalled for a moment.

"At the time, I was thinking that if our ancestors really did work their magic and could bring this thing back, that would be wonderful!"

Fusu nodded and looked ahead.

Ancestor of Great Qin...

Fusu paused abruptly, took a deep breath, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

May my mentor bless me!

Silence fell over the courtyard once again.

All eyes were on the car and Fusu inside.

Fusu's brows furrowed, clearly as he focused his mind.

He thought of the grandeur of Xianyang Palace, the Mingguang Hall where his father handled state affairs, his younger brothers, the laws of Qin, the imperial highways, the Great Wall…

A strong sense of belonging and longing to return filled my heart.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just as everyone held their breath, thinking it might not happen—

hum!

Similar to Liu Che's disappearance, but this time, the process seems to be faster and smoother than Liu Che's.

The car, along with Fusu, vanished in an instant.

The spot was completely empty, without even a tire mark, so clean it was as if no car had ever parked there.

The backyard was deathly silent, with only the sound of the evening breeze.

"It's...it's done?"

Zhu Di was the first to break the silence, his voice filled with unbelievable excitement.

"It's done again! That kid Fusu went back with his car too?!"

"Judging from the process, it seems more...smooth than what happened with Boss Liu?"

Li Shimin carefully observed the open space, his brows furrowed slightly, as if comparing details.

"Quick! Write it down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang urged.

"What's different this time? The timing? The commotion? What was Fusu's condition like before he went in? Remember everything clearly!"

"Don't worry! I filmed the video!"

Chen Mo shook the phone in his hand.

Little Sizi held Li Lizhi's hand, her beautiful big eyes wide open, her little mouth agape in an "O" shape.

"No...that's all?"

Little Sizi exclaimed in a childish voice, rubbed her eyes with her little hands, and leaned forward again, as if to confirm whether she had seen it wrong.

"Such a big car? How did it disappear so quickly?"

Before the words were finished, the next second

A figure flashed in the open space in the backyard.

"here we go again!"

Zhu Gaoxu, with his sharp eyes, immediately pointed to the open space and shouted.

Everyone immediately fell silent and became fully focused.

Then, a figure gradually solidified—it was Fusu.

He reappeared in almost exactly the same spot where he had just disappeared, without the slightest difference!

Fusu staggered a bit before regaining his balance.

He looked up, his gaze quickly locking onto Ying Zheng, a smile spreading across his face. He strode forward and bowed respectfully.

"Father! Your son... has returned!"

"how?"

Ying Zheng's voice remained steady, but his speaking speed seemed to have increased slightly.

"Reporting to Father Emperor, it's done!"

Fusu's tone was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself and the carriage already in the open space in front of the armory of Xianyang Palace!"

"good!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but cheer.

Fusu continued.

"I feared it would cause a disturbance, so I immediately found General Meng Yi, who was on duty, and explained that this was the mysterious new chariot that Father Emperor had acquired outside. I ordered him to secretly seal off the area and dispatch the most reliable and skilled craftsmen from the Imperial Household Department to examine it carefully."

Then another thought crossed my mind: if only I could go back to where I was before, so I returned.

Fusu looked around and smiled slightly.

"Same spot as before!"

"What about the car?"

Old Zhu was most concerned about this, and asked anxiously.

"Did they stay at Xianyang Palace?"

Fusu nodded.

"Indeed. The carriage is intact and remains in place. General Meng Yi has led his personal guards to seal it off, and the craftsmen should have already begun their inspection."

"In other words,"

Li Shimin quickly summarized, his face beaming with delight.

"When the time travel is activated, the person and any belongings they wish to bring are transferred together. And when returning, can they come back from the inn, or directly back to their original location?"

Zhu Di and his son Zhu Gaochi exchanged a glance, their eyes practically spitting fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his chin, staring at the empty space in the backyard, then looked at his son and grandson, his mind racing with calculations.

After listening to Fusu's report, Ying Zheng patted Fusu on the shoulder.

Not long after,

"etc,"

Old Zhu stroked his chin and spoke.

"The fact that we can bring things back now proves it, but the question is, how far is that?"

"What if we want to send things directly to certain specific locations in the future? Or what if the distance is too far and the delivery isn't possible?"

That makes sense.

Li Shimin nodded, and then seemed to understand something.

"Father is right!"

Zhu Di responded immediately.

"We need to test this effective distance!"

After saying that, he gave the other emperors a wink.

Li Shimin, Ying Zheng, and Liu Che exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly.

"Then... how do we try it?"

Chen Mo had a bad feeling.

"Drive, find a place away from this hotel."

"Let Biao'er give it a try this time!"

Zhu Biao nodded, about to agree, when he saw a hand reach out.

"Let me give it a try!"

Then, Li Chengqian was seen pushing his wheelchair forward.

"you?"

Old Zhu raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashing.

"Alright! You can go and give it a try!"

"Brilliant...you..."

Li Shimin opened his mouth, as if to say something.

"Father, I am willing to go!"

Li Chengqian spoke with a firm tone.

Seeing the long-absent, eager-to-fight spirit in his son's eyes, and considering the experiences of Liu Che and Fusu, Li Shimin thought the risks seemed manageable. After a moment's thought, he finally nodded.

"Okay, but please be careful and prioritize safety. If anything seems amiss, stop immediately."

The plan was quickly finalized, and the group drove to the suburbs.

The car drove towards the outskirts of the city, going further and further out of the way.

Finally, at Chen Mo's suggestion, they arrived at a deserted open space far from residential areas and near a small reservoir.

The view here is expansive, and there is no one around except for the sound of the wind and the faint sound of water.

"Let's stay here. It's far enough; it's at least twenty miles from the hotel."

Chen Mo stopped the car and checked the navigation.

Everyone got off the bus.

Li Chengqian was also helped out of the car and put back into his wheelchair.

He held his phone and laptop in his arms, took a few deep breaths of the crisp, cool air, and tried to calm himself down.

"Chengqian,"

Li Shimin gave his final instructions.

"Keep your mind pure and your goal clear. Remember, you are returning to your study in the Eastern Palace. Calm your mind. If anything seems amiss, immediately repeat to yourself, 'Return to this place.'"

"Yes, Father."

Li Chengqian nodded and gripped the item in his hand tightly.

The crowd stepped back a short distance, forming a loose circle, holding their breath in concentration.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes, clearing his mind of distractions. He pictured the study in the Eastern Palace: the official documents on the desk, the map on the wall, even that familiar inkstone…

The details became clear in my mind.

go back!

Back to my study!

Concentrate your mind.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

hum-

A wave of dizziness washed over me...

Li Chengqian disappeared.

The next second, he appeared in his study, looked at the chubby boy in the study, was slightly taken aback, and then chuckled.

"Bluebird, it's been a long time!"
