Lu Zheng arrived at King Yunhai's place even faster than the eldest prince.
After entering the palace, he knocked out a guard, changed his clothes, covered his face with a beard, and then went to stand guard outside the gate of the Prince of Yunhai.
The place where the Yunhai King's family was discussing matters was guarded outside, and it was quite far away. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear what was being said inside, but Lu Zheng's hearing, honed over two lifetimes, was far better than that of ordinary people. He could hear everything perfectly well, even though it was late at night.
As for the sudden appearance of him, no one would suspect anything.
There are usually eight guards here, but since the Seventh Princess was kidnapped, the palace has increased manpower at each master's residence. This place is full, and the others will definitely go to the next place when they see it.
Moreover, you can't tell anything from their appearance. There are quite a few people with big beards here, and they wear hats. Unless you specifically look at their eyes, you won't be suspected at all.
Lu Zheng had also complained about the Cloud Sea Tribe, saying, "Do you think you can conquer the Great Zhou and dominate the East and West with this? You should manage your guards first!"
At least it's easy to detect spies from other countries infiltrating the Great Zhou royal palace, unless they're trained from a young age like Yan Mo. Even so, Yan Mo wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the emperor in the palace.
Watching the eldest prince strut past angrily with his large sword slung over his shoulder, Lu Zheng held his breath, intending to listen carefully to what was being said inside.
"Father, let's march on Liangjing Kingdom and rescue my sister!" the eldest prince said angrily as soon as he entered the room.
"Are you sure you're from Liangjing Kingdom?" King Yunhai asked.
"It was my sister who recognized her; her maid overheard it. That maid was chosen by my sister herself; she's a very honest person and wouldn't play any tricks. Moreover, my men also found the identity tags of Liangjing Kingdom's assassins in my sister's residence," the eldest prince said.
"This is probably a trick by Gortz!" Queen Yunhai said calmly.
"Mother, who cares if it's Gorz's trick or not! My sister has been captured. Whether it's Liang Jing, Gorz, or Shalin, we're bound to fight sooner or later," the eldest prince said angrily.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Queen Yunhai scolded angrily. "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Right now, we shouldn't be attacking Liangjing, we should be attacking Gaozi. We haven't sent anyone to Liangjing, so their attack must be because the King of Liangjing has been misled by Gaozi. If we rashly attack, we will fall into their trap."
"There's another point: someone helped them take Agil away. The capital has been under strict surveillance these past few days; a group of people can't pass through the city gates without being present. They must be from within the city. We've been checking people in the city very thoroughly lately, so there wouldn't be a large number of people helping them. So, whose people are they?"
Queen Yunhai stared intently at King Yunhai.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the Queen of Yunhai was even more skilled than the King of Yunhai. He also suspected that the people who fired the arrows were not from Liangjing Kingdom.
After that group of people appeared, he noticed that the people of Liangjing Kingdom were somewhat flustered, and when they fired arrows at the guards, the group was also somewhat shocked.
Therefore, that group of people must not be on the same side as the robbers.
King Yunhai stroked his chin and said coldly, "Go and summon the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Fifth Prince!"
The eldest prince finally realized what was happening and looked at King Yunhai and Queen Yunhai in disbelief: "Father, Mother, just the three of them? They dare to conspire with Gao Ziliang and the others?"
Queen Yunhai scoffed, "What's impossible? Their birth mother was also a princess of the tribe; they have plenty of supporters!"
