However, considering that his father was watching, Zu'an couldn't do anything to Zheng Dan, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't all unacceptable.
All of this was kept secret from King Liang and Liu Yao. Ever since what happened yesterday, he had taken over the defense of Zu'an and Sang Hong and his son with the Embroidered-Robed Envoy, and forbade other imperial guards from approaching.
Sang Qian was inside the carriage, so no one could see his face. Zu An had someone change his hairstyle and do his makeup, adding some bloodstains and such, making him difficult to recognize unless you looked closely.
At the same time, it was announced that Sang Qian was injured by an assassin last night, so Zheng Dan was asked to take care of him.
After doing all this, he finally drove the two cars away from the yard.
After what happened last night, Liang Wang and Liu Yao deliberately kept their distance to avoid suspicion, so they didn't notice that the two cars had been switched drivers.
Liang Wang even joked with Liu Yao, "Why isn't that guy from Zu'an as noisy as usual today?"
Liu Yao laughed and said, "He's probably scared out of his wits by yesterday's assassination attempt. It's actually a relief for us to have some peace and quiet."
"Not bad, not bad." King Liang laughed as well. "If I had known this would happen, I should have had someone scare him earlier. This kind of scoundrel only responds to force."
Meanwhile, in the prison cart behind, Zu An secretly pulled Zheng Dan's hand and made some small movements while she was nestled beside him "applying medicine." He looked at Sang Hong and said, "Lord Sang, what you're doing is not very kind."
Sang Hong knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he didn't argue: "Although this increases your chances of losing your life, it greatly reduces the chances of you being captured, so it's not entirely without benefit to you."
Zuan snorted: "You call this beneficial to me?"
“Didn’t you agree?” Sang Hong chuckled. “I’ve always had my doubts about why someone as smart as you would choose a path that leads to certain death, but now I’m certain that you must have your own plan, and all of this depends on getting to the capital safely.”
Zuan was secretly on guard. This guy was not to be underestimated. He could guess so much from this. But of course he would not admit it: "Lord Sang is an old fox himself. Don't think of others as little foxes. I don't have that many thoughts. I'm just living one day at a time."
Hearing him say this, Sang Hong smiled but remained silent.
The main force continued its journey, and all was calm until this day, when a faint trembling sound came from the earth, and a black wave appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching the group.
