My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Today, a rare spectacle unfolded on the East Market Street of Chang'an City.

A handsome young man dressed in a moon-white casual suit was running wildly down the street at an astonishing speed, carrying a little girl wrapped up like a red cotton ball in his arms.

The young man moved with light steps, landing silently as if the wind was blowing beneath his feet, and even the hem of his clothes exuded an indescribable elegance.

And dozens of feet behind him.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was shamelessly lifting the hem of his long robe, striding forward, panting heavily as he desperately chased after them.

His once dignified face was now flushed a deep liver color from running so hard and his boundless rage.

"Halt! You unfilial son! Stop right there!"

As Li Shimin ran, he roared hysterically, his spittle flying in the cold winter wind.

"If you dare to enter the palace to see your mother today... I... I will absolutely not forgive you!"

However, Li Chen, who was running ahead, not only did not slow down, but also turned around and gave him a particularly irritating face.

"Hehehe! Old Deng, if you're so capable, try catching me!"

Li Chen laughed wildly, deliberately slowing down a bit, maintaining a distance that Li Shimin could see but could never catch, as if he were walking the Great Khan of the Tang Dynasty.

The little girl, held in his arms, had no idea that her father and sixteenth brother were engaged in a life-or-death chase.

The little girl was still holding the unfinished candied hawthorn skewer in her hand, feeling the wind whistling past her ears, finding it incredibly fun.

"Giggle, giggle! Father, run faster! Father is so slow! Come and catch Sizi and Sixteenth Brother!"

The child's silvery voice echoed down the long street, but it was like an invisible sharp knife, stabbing hard into Li Shimin's chest, making him so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just as Li Shimin was chasing after them, breathless and with legs that felt like lead,

His fiery eyes suddenly caught sight of two familiar figures walking towards him from the street corner ahead.

The two men were both tall and imposing, with extraordinary bearing. They were Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who were on their way to the Qin Prince's residence!

Behind Qin Qiong, Qin Wan'er followed, jogging to catch up.

"Zhijie! Shubao!"

Li Shimin, as if grasping at a lifeline, burst forth with wild joy. With the last ounce of strength in his body, he let out a hoarse roar at the two top generals of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.

"Quickly! Stop that brat in front of me! We absolutely cannot let him get back to the palace!"

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who were standing in front of the street, were both stunned when they heard the thunderous roar.

The two stopped and looked up.

A white blur appeared, carrying the little princess, rushing towards them at an incredible speed.

On the face of that afterimage was a sinister grin that they recognized all too well, a grin that always sent chills down their spines.

A hundred paces away, their emperor, whom they had served for half their lives, was chasing after them relentlessly, his hair disheveled and panting heavily. He looked ten times more disheveled than when he was surrounded by the Turkic army.

The scene was so beautiful that it completely stunned the two veterans who had seen it all.

"Old Qin... what... what's going on?" Cheng Yaojin swallowed hard, his big, round eyes wide open.

Qin Qiong also looked stunned.

However, when he saw that the person rushing towards him was Li Chen, the Tang Dynasty War God's mind was instantly filled with the terrifying methods Li Chen had used to manipulate events in the palace a few days ago, as well as the blood oath he had sworn to serve him to the death.

On one side is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and on the other is a true immortal lord who can grant mortals immortality at will and whom they swear allegiance to!

If these two outsiders were to get involved in this kind of "father-son power struggle" within the royal family, no matter who they sided with, they would definitely suffer a terrible fate in the end! Moreover, they had already experienced the Immortal Master's vengeful nature firsthand.

In the blink of an eye.

The two old comrades-in-arms, who had an unparalleled understanding on the battlefield, once again demonstrated an amazing synchronization.

"oops!"

Cheng Yaojin suddenly let out an exaggerated shout, stretched out his large, fan-like hands, and covered his eyes tightly.

"Old Qin! Why is the wind so strong today?! Sand got into my eyes, ouch, I can't see anything! My eyes are going blind!"

Qin Qiong didn't hesitate either, immediately turning around and facing away from the direction from which Li Shimin and Li Chen had run.

He looked up at the clear, cloudless sky and exclaimed in a serious tone, "Yes, yes! This wind is really strange. Duke Lu, since we've gotten sand in our eyes, we should hurry back and find a doctor to take a look."

"Yes, yes, yes! Go back! Go back!"

Two burly, strong dukes of the Tang Dynasty, supporting each other, even exaggeratedly groping for air with their hands as if they were truly blind, decisively turned around and slowly walked back along the same path.

He didn't glance in Li Shimin's direction even once more throughout the entire process.

"call--"

Li Chen, carrying the little Sizi, swept past them like a gust of wind. As he left, he raised an eyebrow in admiration at Qin Qiong's retreating figure, clearly very satisfied with his subordinates' "good behavior".

Li Shimin, who was desperately chasing after them, stared so hard his eyes almost bled when he saw these three "traitors" pretending to be blind and running away!

"Cheng Yaojin! Qin Shubao! You two ungrateful old scoundrels!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed in the cold wind, his voice filled with endless grief and desolation.

"Pretending to be blind! How dare you pretend to be blind in front of me! When I return to the palace, I will deduct all your salaries!"

Unfortunately, no amount of cursing could change anything. Li Chen's figure was getting farther and farther away, heading straight towards the palace.

……

Taiji Palace, Vermilion Bird Gate.

The two rows of imperial guards standing at the palace gate, holding long halberds, stood solemnly in the cold wind as usual.

Suddenly, they saw a white figure carrying a little girl in red, rushing toward the palace gate at breakneck speed.

And in the distance, it seemed that someone was shouting something like "Stop him!"

"Who goes there! This is the imperial city, no unauthorized entry is permitted!"

The gatekeeper shouted, and more than a dozen imperial guards immediately crossed their long halberds and blocked the center of the palace gate.

Li Chen ran to the palace gate and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Without even taking a breath, he pulled a pure gold token from his waist and waved it in front of the captain.

"You're all blind! I am the sixteenth prince, Prince Qin, Li Chen! This is my sister, Princess Jinyang!"

Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and an invisible pressure instantly emanated from him.
