Chapter 342: Looking for People in the Capital
Liang Chongyue picked up the letter that his grandfather asked Ping'an to bring back and read it carefully again, finally his eyes fell on those words.
"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king."
At the end of this passage, Liang Chongyue silently wondered what his grandfather meant.
It is definitely not referring to the huge mountain range with visible edges in the capital, so it can only be the mountain where Liang Chongan trains his troops.
But who is this tiger and who is the monkey?
Liang Chongyue was puzzled. The entire letter from her grandfather was very abstract, and many things were inconvenient to express. Otherwise, if it was discovered, one of her and her grandfather would definitely have to be sacrificed to take the blame.
"Did the Duke give you any instructions when he gave you the letter?"
Liang Chongyue looked up and asked about Ping An.
"No, the Duke simply asked about the Princess's health as usual. Before I left, he told her to take care of herself. He said, 'I'll take care of everything, so you can just go ahead and do your best.'"
After hearing Ping'an's words, Liang Chongyue shook the jade twist in her hand. Grandfather would not easily make such boasts if he was not sure.
All four uncles came back, allowing her to feel protected even in these stormy days.
Liang Chongjing and Liang Chongan ran away together. This was a great opportunity for her. As long as she caught these two people, she would kill them directly.
No one suspected her, but she had no clue where these two guys were at the moment.
"Host, we can only find out that these two people are still in the capital, in the west, but their exact location cannot be determined."
The system often has some small accidents, and Liang Chongyue has become accustomed to it. It is enough to be able to determine the approximate location.
Liang Chongyue looked at the sky outside which was already bright. They could not escape from the city.
If the scumbag father had not planned to execute these two people directly from the beginning, at most he would have revoked their titles and imprisoned them in their original mansion for life.
After all, this is not the first time that a scumbag father has treated his son like this. Liang Chongzhen is an example.
The deposed queen escaped, and he was still alive today despite poisoning his scumbag father. This is enough to show that as long as the scumbag father does not cross the bottom line, he will show leniency to his children in the end.
But if they dare to escape, whether they can return alive is not up to their scumbag father to decide.
Liang Chongyue believed that this was what her grandfather meant when he gave her the news.
"Safety."
"The slave is here."
Liang Chongyue found the book of property deeds in the west of the capital from a cabinet nearby. The thick book was placed on the desk, emitting a faint scent of ink.
"Take this thing with you and go to the west to clean up all the courtyards I own. I plan to rent out the empty courtyards, which will also bring in a considerable profit."
Otherwise, those yards would be left empty and would be eaten by rats. They were built with real materials and cannot be wasted.
Ping'an has been with His Highness for so many years, and His Highness has countless assets in his name. The courtyard on the west side is mostly used for the families of the guards in the mansion to live in. Over the years, His Highness has never asked for rent, and has given silver every year.
The two princes fled, and His Highness suddenly asked him to take people to clean the yard in the west. There must be a reason.
Liang Chongyue handed the book in his hand forward, and Ping'an immediately bent down and stepped forward to take the book from the prince's hand.
Just as Ping'an was about to take the book, His Highness tightly grasped the other side of the book.
Ping An did not look up, but silently took another half step towards His Highness. The next second, he heard His Highness say:
"Those two are probably hiding in the west. Bring more people with you so as not to alert the enemy. The main thing is to protect the safety of the guards and their families."
"If you find anything wrong, do not act on your own and report it to this princess."
It’s not that Liang Chongyue is unwilling to believe in Ping An’s ability. These two people dared to escape under the nose of their scumbag father. There must be someone outside to pick them up.
Apart from Ping'an, the only one she could use now was Chi Rong. Jing Suiyang and Liang Fang were injured and would not be able to recover without a few months of care.
Chi Rong has to stay and prepare for the next thing her scumbag father will do, which is to send someone to her house. This matter cannot be left to Chi Rong.
If she couldn't deal with both of them in one blow and one of them escaped, she would be at a great loss, and it would be difficult to wait for the next opportunity.
Liang Chongjing was detained in the palace while he was attending court, and had no chance to prepare for what happened next.
But Liang Chong'an is different. He has been embroiled in scandal recently, and he has no face to go to court until the scandal is resolved.
As soon as the head fell from Liang Chongjing's carriage, the news was sent out, and Liang Chong'an must have received the news as well.
Liang Chongjing is not a good ally, the kind that will turn against her at any minute. She knows his nature very well even if she does not cooperate with him. Liang Chongan only knows what kind of person Liang Chongjing is better than her.
Liang Chongan is a meticulous person, and since her scumbag father is busy visiting her, it indirectly gives him the opportunity to plan many things.
If Liang Chongyue guessed correctly, the city gates must be strictly guarded now, and it would be useless even if Liang Chongjing had people in the army.
My grandfather must have stationed people at various city gates long ago. There is no way he would let two people leave the capital in broad daylight.
Unless they have a tunnel, night is their only chance to leave the capital.
Staying in the capital for one more day means more danger. The army of Daxia is no pushover. They both know what will be waiting for them when their scumbag father finds them.
If their scumbag father hadn't been really angry this time, neither of them would have wanted to escape.
Even being an idle prince in the capital is much better than running around outside.
"Yes, I understand. Your Highness, don't worry."
After Ping An left, Liang Chongyue got up and walked to the terrace. Calculating the time, it should be noon, the coolest time of the day.
When the sun comes out at noon, the day becomes hot.
Liang Chongyue didn't stand on the terrace for too long before returning to his desk.
Looking at the desk, the letter that my grandfather asked Ping'an to bring back was still lying there casually.
Liang Chongyue picked it up, read it carefully, and then silently recited the last sentence of the letter.
After she had a rough idea of her grandfather's thoughts, Liang Chongyue burned the letter.
Once she has memorized it, these paper things are no longer important.
No matter how strong his desire to kill Liang Chongjing and Liang Chongan was, Liang Chongyue put the matter aside for the time being and continued to immerse himself in the ocean of learning.
Some people will die sooner or later, so there is no need to delay taking action now for the sake of future matters.
