Chapter 468 Ping An is Missing
"Let's go pack our things first!"
Finally, Prince Zhou sighed, sat alone in the room with a frown on his face.
After everything was packed up, Prince Zhou had not yet decided whether to tell the Ming family.
"Prince, it's time to go!" Fugui urged.
Prince Zhou stood up and looked at Ping'an who was sitting obediently beside him, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Fugui, keep someone here. After we leave for half a day, send someone to the Ming family to inform them." He said finally.
"yes!"
The news of Prince Zhou's departure soon reached the Luo family.
Zhu Mingqing: "Are you really not going to stop him?"
Luo Tingshan shook his head: "No need. Even if we stop them, Youzhou is Prince Huai's fiefdom after all. The truth will eventually be revealed."
Seeing that he was so indifferent, Zhu Mingqing remembered what the little world spirit said about many strangers appearing outside the city yesterday, and none of them entered the city.
She raised an eyebrow: "Are all your people here?"
Luo Tingshan was amazed at how quickly she got the information. No wonder she dared to let someone leave with so much goods.
He did not hide it and nodded, "More than 50,000 people in total."
Zhu Mingqing gave a thumbs up and said, "That's great. They have gathered so many people in such a short time."
"So what about their food and lodging?"
Luo Tingshan: "Jiang Cheng has already made arrangements."
This was not the first time Zhu Mingqing had heard of Jiang Cheng, but he had never met him.
Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Jiang Cheng came to visit Luo Mansion alone. The moment he saw Zhu Mingqing, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
"I'm going out first!"
Zhu Mingqing had no intention of participating either.
Luo Tingshan also wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear with Jiang Cheng.
After the lady left, Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to ask, "Madam, she..."
Luo Tingshan: "I have already investigated the truth of Jiaoshan. Tan Guangyi and Liang Huanyu are now imprisoned in the dungeon of a village outside the city."
Jiang Cheng had heard about Liang Huanyu's disappearance a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it was really the general's doing.
Luo Tingshan shook his head: "My wife caught him."
Jiang Cheng was surprised, and then he asked tentatively: "I heard that the changes in the Luo family are all caused by Madam. Madam's temperament didn't seem to be like this before. Among them..."
Luo Tingshan had long guessed that Jiang Cheng would have such doubts, but Mingqing's true identity must not be exposed.
"After experiencing dramatic changes and enduring hardships along the way, it's not surprising that his temperament has changed." He brushed it off with a few words and changed the subject to the 50,000 gathered troops.
…
At noon, Prince Zhou's troops had to stop.
Ping An found that the surrounding environment had completely changed and was very unfamiliar, so he started crying non-stop.
Prince Zhou used a bunch of toys to coax him but it didn't work. Instead, he pushed the child further and further away.
In the end, Xiao Ping'an didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.
"How about I carry the young master out to see the scenery?" Fugui couldn't help but suggest when he saw that the young master had a headache.
Xiao Ping'an seemed to understand what he said, and he grabbed Fugui's calf and pulled him towards the carriage door.
Seeing this, Prince Zhou waved his hand helplessly: "Go, don't go far!"
"Hey!" Fugui immediately put thick clothes on the young master and carried him out of the carriage.
His whole body finally felt peaceful and Prince Zhou heaved a long sigh.
The child is not easy to take care of, which makes me even more grateful for Mrs. Zhu's kindness.
But speaking of the matter, if it was anything else, he would never tell his father.
As he was thinking, Prince Zhou felt sleepy. He wrapped his cloak tightly around himself, leaned against the carriage and fell asleep.
It was half an hour later when I was woken up.
He lifted the car curtain and looked outside, just in time to see Fugui running towards him in a disheveled state.
Prince Zhou's heart skipped a beat: "Is Ping'an here?"
Fugui was covered in dirt, his hair was messy, and there were footprints on his clothes. He suddenly knelt down in front of the carriage.
"Sir, it was my fault for not keeping watch over him properly. While I was picking the flowers, the young master was caught by the thief. The servant and the guards tried desperately to get him back, but we were afraid of hurting him..."
Fugui became more and more nervous as he spoke. Who was so bold as to tie Prince Huai's head?
"Oh right, this is the letter that the thief left behind. He said that the prince would understand once he saw it."
Prince Zhou quickly opened it, and his blazing anger instantly eased a bit, but soon, he couldn't help but shout, "How unreasonable!"
Fugui thought it was the Luo family who did it: "Young Master, why don't you send someone back to the capital to tell the prince immediately? With the prince's help, the young master will be safe!"
Prince Zhou sneered: "Prince? The one who took Ping An away is the prince you are talking about!"
Fugui exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" and dared not speak.
The guards, who had been furious, fell silent.
Prince Zhou paused his gaze on everyone and ordered, "Speed up as much as possible and return to the capital!"
Father, in order to control your child's marriage, you even dared to kidnap your only grandson. How cruel!
I have to say, this move really controlled Prince Zhou.
But at the same time, he had originally planned to have his father make preparations early and be wary of the Luo family. The moment he learned that Ping An had been taken away, he immediately changed his mind.
Don’t you want to control your child? Don’t you want to take all the power and prepare for the future?
In this case, if General Luo were still alive, I wonder if your plan would be possible to realize.
At this moment, Prince Zhou was really angry. His rationality was obscured by anger, and he only wanted to make his father regret the decision he made today!
The group rushed back to the provincial capital without stopping, but Prince Zhou did not show up immediately. Instead, he wrote a letter to his grandmother.
If my grandmother knew what my father had done, maybe there would be a chance for a change.
Don’t say that the father will not harm his only grandson. After all, they have never gotten along with each other, so how can there be any affection?
Even if there are feelings, given his father's character, if anyone dares to disrupt his plan, he will abandon him even if it's his own son.
Concubine Xu and his children had obviously done something wrong to their father.
But in reality, they are just taking the opportunity to get rid of the emperor's people!
Prince Zhou was anxiously waiting for news, but unfortunately, God did not favor him.
After waiting for two days, he learned that his grandmother had gone to the temple to pray for blessings the day before he returned to the city.
For a moment, Prince Zhou understood everything.
This was the fist his father had set for him, sending his grandmother away early to lure him back to the city safely.
Although I know that my father would not be so cruel as to kill Ping An, what if?
Furthermore, even if we are lucky this time, there is no guarantee that similar situations will not occur again in the future.
As long as he doesn't get married, his father will not give up.
"My Lord, the prince seems to know that we live here!" That night, Fugui quietly returned to his residence. Although he sent away the people behind him, he still felt unsafe.
Prince Zhou sneered: "Prince Huai, you have great magical powers, what don't you know?"
Fugui couldn't help but wonder if General Zhengyuan is still alive.
At this moment, there was a whooshing sound in the air, and a sharp arrow shot in from the window and pierced the bookshelf directly.
Fugui immediately shouted, "Come here, catch the thief!"
Prince Zhou raised his hand to interrupt, opened the door and looked around, only to find no one there. He then looked at the letter on the arrow on the bookshelf. Could it be that his father had sent someone to deliver another message?
Zhou Shizi opened the letter with doubt, but a smile appeared on his face.
