At the tail end of the Yang Family Army camp, there is a small hill, and at the foot of the hill is a manor.
Yang Qingzhi sat in the orchard of the manor, eating fruit and petting cats. He had been "confined" here for almost three months.
His face was flushed and healthy, clearly indicating that he was in excellent physical condition.
Zuo Zhu, who was beside him, reported the intelligence.
After returning from Lingshan, Zuo Zhu became Yang Qingzhi's personal guard.
He used to be Bao Xin's deputy general, which seems like a demotion, but being able to work alongside Yang Qingzhi is actually a huge promotion.

"They even managed to win over the Princess of Jingguo, ruining my Southern Zhou's plans once again."

Zuo Zhu said, "Prince He intends to slow down the return journey and is asking if you have any instructions."
Yang Qingzhi’s eyes gleamed with wisdom as he said, “He stopped because he was waiting for my instructions. It’s something he wanted to do too, but he insisted on forcing me to give him instructions. He’s really a shrewd person.”
Zuo Zhu dared not speak.
"However, we really can't let Zhao Cheng grow any further."
Yang Qingzhi stood up, holding the cat, and took a few steps forward. He said, "The reason we kept the matter of Lingshan a secret from him was because we didn't want the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to be eliminated by Emperor Jing and Wen Tai.

"But if Zhao Cheng is allowed to grow wildly, he may become even more terrifying than Yuan Zhang and Zhao Huan in the future."
"Then let's try killing him."
Yang Qingzhi looked at Zuo Zhu and said in a gentle tone, "Contact our intelligence system in Changsui and activate the Yu Bei Piao."
"His knife has been lonely for a long time."
