Chapter 280: Finding a Marriage for You
"Reinforcements are coming! Everyone must hold on!"
Chen Hu shouted excitedly. When the Cheetah Army heard what the deputy captain said, they regained their confidence.
At the same time, the sentry ran from the outpost and excitedly reported to Liang Jingyao that he saw a large army coming down from Yangming Mountain and fighting with the killers of Jianghu Ling. Liang Jingyao immediately guessed who it was?
"It's my father who has returned with the Tiger Roar Army! I will personally go to welcome my father into the city! Notify Chen Hu and wait for my order to open the city gate!" As he said that, Liang Jingyao flew up directly with his lightness skills and landed steadily on the ground from the city wall.
Prince Rong also spotted Liang Jingyao and shouted, "Jingyao, don't take any risks! These people are coming for you!"
Liang Jingyao certainly knew this, but the most dangerous person here was his father, Prince Rong.
Although my father is brave and good at fighting and rarely fails, he is now old and has developed a chronic illness after living in the icy and snowy northern border. I really cannot bear to watch my father take risks outside the city gate.
"Father, please forgive me for being unfilial! I won't listen to you this time!" Liang Jingyao drew the sword from his waist and fought with the Jianghu killers who kept rushing around him, with sword lights flying everywhere.
Prince Rong knew that Liang Jingyao did this to attract the attention of all the Jianghu assassins, so that he would not be in danger under the protection of the Tiger Roar Army. But with so many assassins, each of them was ruthless, could Liang Jingyao withstand it all by himself?
"Tiger Roar Army, listen up! Kill all the Jianghu Order assassins and protect Jing Yao's safety!" Prince Rong was extremely worried. He only kept his personal guards and sent out all the Tiger Roar Army.
There were more than 2,000 Tiger Roar Army soldiers. When they suddenly surrounded them, the more than 100 assassins of Jianghu Order seemed insufficient. After a while, they could no longer take care of Liang Jingyao and could only deal with the more than 2,000 Tiger Roar Army soldiers.
Liang Jingyao rushed out of the crowd, ran to Prince Rong and said, "Father, it's not safe here. Come back to the city with me first!"
Prince Rong didn't hesitate. After all, his life and death affected the future of many people. He nodded and said, "Okay! Come on up. You and I, father and son, will ride on the same warhorse."
Liang Jingyao jumped on his horse and rode away waving his whip, while Prince Rong's personal guards followed closely behind to prevent any sneak attack.
"Chen Hu, open the city gate! Prince Rong is back!" Liang Jingyao shouted loudly as he got closer to the city gate.
After Chen Hu got the news, he was afraid of missing Liang Jingyao's voice and almost put his ear to the crack of the door.
Finally, Liang Jingyao's shout was heard, and Chen Hu opened the city gate without saying a word to welcome Prince Rong back.
"Squeak!" When the gate of Yangming Town was opened, Liang Jingyao whipped the horse whip twice. The horse rushed through the gate in pain, followed closely by the guards.
Chen Hu and the last of the personal guards entered and immediately had the city gates closed.
There was no particularly good place to rest at the city gate, so Liang Jingyao went directly to the newly renovated restaurant, which had a large backyard and spare rooms.
"Ta-da-da..." The sound of horse hooves gradually stopped. Liang Jingyao jumped off the horse and personally helped Prince Rong dismount.
Prince Rong looked at the brand new restaurant in front of him and said with a smile, "Is this another new thing you opened? It's well done!"
Liang Jingyao carefully supported Prince Rong as he walked inside and replied, "It is my restaurant, but Emperor Liang's men have been fighting non-stop lately, so I haven't had time to open it yet. Yangming Town is not big, and this restaurant is newly renovated and quite nice. For the time being, Father will have to stay here. Rest here first, and I'll accompany you to visit the Queen Mother and the Princess in a few days."
Prince Rong stopped in surprise and asked, "What? The Queen Mother and the Princess are here? Did Emperor Liang drive them out?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I guess so. This is a long story. I will tell you everything that happened during this period later. There are several adults living in the backyard of the restaurant. They all came here with the Queen Mother and the Princess."
Prince Rong could almost guess what was going on. He patted Liang Jingyao on the shoulder and said, "You did a great job! So where do the Queen Mother and the Princess live now?"
Liang Jingyao replied, "In the valley of Yangming Mountain, in the bamboo courtyard where I used to live. It's quite secluded and hidden, and more suitable for the Empress Dowager."
Prince Rong thought for a moment and said, "Since I'm back, let's go visit the Empress Dowager and the Princess tomorrow morning. We can't let people think we're being impolite. Besides, when the late Emperor was alive, he showed great favor to our Prince Rong Mansion, so we can't neglect the Empress Dowager and the Princess."
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "Okay, I will listen to you, father."
At this time, several adults living in the backyard of the restaurant heard the news and all came out to greet Prince Rong, "Greetings, Prince Rong!"
Prince Rong and these gentlemen were old acquaintances, having worked together during the late emperor's lifetime. He smiled and said, "My lords, how are you? Come in and take a seat!"
Several adults were originally worried that Prince Rong would dislike them. After all, they were all on the Queen Mother's side. When Prince Rong was driven out of the capital by Emperor Liang, no one spoke for him.
Now it seems that Prince Rong not only did not blame them, but also treated them with great courtesy. These adults finally put their minds at ease.
"No, no, no, Prince Rong has been traveling so hard. You should take a quick rest. We will come and have a chat with you tomorrow." These officials have been in the court for many years and are among the smartest people. When they saw the obvious fatigue on Prince Rong's face, they quickly retreated and said.
After Prince Rong set out from the northern border, he traveled day and night in order to reach Yangming Town as quickly as possible, with almost no rest. So at this time he had reached his limit and urgently needed to rest and adjust his condition.
"Haha, then I won't keep you here. I will set up a banquet tomorrow to treat you all to a meal." Prince Rong said with a smile.
Several adults happily responded, "Okay, thank you Prince Rong for the invitation!"
Then, Liang Jingyao helped Prince Rong into the main courtyard - Jingxuan Pavilion.
Because there were several rooms of varying sizes in the backyard, the main courtyard, which was set aside separately, was not very large. The entire Jingxuan Pavilion only had one study and one bedroom.
Liang Jingyao said apologetically, "Father, this place is not as good as our palace in the capital. I have to inconvenience you."
Prince Rong waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I've survived all these years in the North. Go ahead and do your work. I'll take a break first."
Liang Jingyao helped Prince Rong lie down on the bed and said, "Father, wait a moment. I have asked someone to invite the old wine freak. He should be here soon. I will leave after he arrives."
Prince Rong was very pleased with Liang Jingyao's attentiveness and praised him, "Jingyao has grown a lot over the years! It's a pity that you haven't married yet at such an old age because of me. I am really worried. When I return to the capital in the future, I will find a good marriage for you. My Jingyao is so outstanding. Only the most intelligent woman with the best family background in Dongsui is worthy of you!"
