“Your plan is very reasonable. The problem now is how to let the soldiers arrive at these three towns safely without attracting attention.” Li Xiao’s eyes darkened.
“Previously, 1 wanted to ask the Liang Trading Company for help. Also, the merchant ships that the Zhou Clan used to transport slaves are another way.”
“The Liang Trading Company is indeed feasible. But the Zhou family’s merchant ship…”
“Third Master Zhou only cares about Qingshi Town and the surrounding towns. It’s so far away, I’m afraid he wouldn’t go there. Also, it’s not good for him to know about your identity.”
She wanted to ask the First Prince for more manors and hide the soldiers in the three towns. She wouldn’t be able to hide them from Third Master Zhou.
Perhaps the First Prince would have to step forward to resolve this.
Li Xiao nodded.
“Liang Yu wants to rope in the Zhou family, but Third Master Zhou can’t represent the Zhou family. Fortunately, his family is not welcomed by the main Zhou family. This is actually an opportunity.”
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.
“Are you saying that we should rope in Third Master Zhou and have him join the First Prince?”
“Yes.”
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
Third Master Zhou had gotten involved in the chili business not only because he was confident about it, but also because he wanted to be an ally to Liang Yu.
He wanted someone to help him enter the Zhou family.
Compared to Liang Yu, the First Prince would be a greater help. If the conditions were right, it was not impossible to rope in Third Master Zhou.
In fact, the possibility was quite high.
“Alright, we’ll think about this later. There are only a few days left before the First Prince leaves the capital.”
It wasn’t that the First Prince didn’t know that the army was in a critical situation. After receiving Liang Yu’s message, he would not delay any further.
Yes, at the same time, in the capital, at the First Prince’s estate.
A eunuch came to deliver the decree.
“Your Highness!” The First Consort (Princess Anyang) stepped forward and called out to the First Prince.
The First Prince quickly returned to his senses and tightened his grip on the imperial edict.
Then, he looked at her with a warning look.
“Your…Your Highness.”
The palace announced that His Highness was conferred the title of Prince of Anyang and that they would go to Anyang County tomorrow.
It was supposedly good news for His Highness to receive the title, but leaving the capital meant losing the right to fight for the throne. This was definitely not good for the ambitious prince.
“Haha!” Suddenly, Prince Anyang laughed. It was filled with pain and madness.
Then, he felt relieved.
Hearing this, Consort Anyang and everyone in the room felt fear.
After a long time, he finally stopped laughing.
Only then did Consort Anyang notice that her husband had actually laughed until tears fell from his eyes.
“Go and pack up. Tomorrow morning, we’ll leave the capital.” Prince Anyang waved his hand at his wife. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Princess Anyang stepped forward and wanted to hold her husband, but she was rejected.
“Go!” King Anyang said in a deep voice.
Princess Anyang looked worriedly at her husband.
Then, she left with the servants.
After Princess Anyang took all the servants away, a man in white came over from the side hall.
“Congratulations, Your Highness!” He bowed to Prince Anyang.
Yes, this person was Liang Yu.
After he had spoken to Li Xiao that day, he quickly set off to return to the capital.
He also conveyed the message to His Highness, as well as some of his own opinions and suggestions.
After the prince received the news, he made some arrangements.
Therefore, it was their plan for the prince to enrage the emperor and be forced to leave the capital.
The Emperor’s suspicions were getting stronger, and the infighting between the princes was getting more and more intense.
Now, whether it was the princes or the emperor, they all focused their attention on the First Prince.
If he did not leave now, it was very likely that His Highness would end up like the Second Prince.
Therefore, it was better to leave on his own accord.
Leaving the capital meant losing the right to fight for the throne? Not at all.
Strength was the key to everything.
The Emperor was healthy. Rather than staying in the capital, it was better to come up with a plan.
Moreover, Nan’an County was in Anyang County…
“Rise.” Prince Anyang waved his hand at Liang Yu.
Liang Yu stood up.
Seeing that His Highness’ expression did not look good, he said, “it is a good thing to leave the capital at this time.”
Prince Anyang glanced at Liang Yu and sighed.
“I am just a little emotional.. There is no mercy in the imperial family…”
