1500 The Eldest Prince’s Ambition (2)

“I think it’s feasible.” Liang Zongxing agreed and said, “However, I’m worried that the eldest prince won’t be able to gain anything from the Liang family and will take his anger out on the fourth prince.”

Even though he hadn’t met his nephew, Duanmu Heng, for many years, Liang Zongxing still cared about him very much.

“Fellow Taoist Liang, don’t worry.”

Lu Zijia immediately told him about going to Duanmu Heng and detoxifying him.

“However, in order to be confident enough to fight back, the fourth prince will continue to pretend that the Spirit Dispersion Gu has not been resolved.”

Hearing that, Liang Zongxing got up and bowed solemnly to Lu Zijia and the others. “Thank you, Fellow Taoists. I, Liang Zongxing, will remember everything you’ve done for the Liang family.”

“And us siblings too,” Liang Yingjun and Liang Yingyue also stood up and said.

“You’re welcome. We’re on the same boat. Helping you is equivalent to helping myself.” Lu Zijia smiled, indicating that they shouldn’t take it to heart too much.

Liang Zongxing didn’t continue to say anything about gratitude and repayment, because he knew that it was most meaningless to just say it.

“Since he’s decided to fight the eldest prince head-on, he definitely won’t let it go.”

Lu Zijia asked Liang Zongxing, “Fellow Taoist Liang, what do you think the eldest prince will do?”

Liang Zongxing pondered for a while and said, “The imperial court sent the eldest prince here to resolve the beast tide. The eldest prince has the right to assign any family clan to participate in the hunt for spirit beasts. If he disobeys, he’ll be going against the Imperial Court.”

Even though the strong ruled in the cultivation world, the problem was that they weren’t enough to go against the entire imperial court right now.

Lu Zijia nodded slightly. “Then Ah Yan and I will hurry up and make more inscription spiritual artifacts and array disks. Right, how many people are there in the Liang family right now?”

“There are about 120 guards who can fight,” Liang Zongxing replied.

“Alright, Fellow Taoist Liang, find a few opportunities to give those guards an early warning. If they’re unwilling, you can ask them to leave early. I don’t want people turning against us at that time,” Lu Zijia said seriously.

Combat partners only had a chance of winning if they were united. If there was a traitor, it could completely lead to a fatal blow at some point.

“I understand. Fellow Taoists, don’t worry.” Liang Zongxing promised.

…

Two days later.

As Liang Zongxing had expected, when he refused to cooperate with the eldest prince and said that Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan were busy in seclusion and wouldn’t meet him, the eldest prince sent a decree asking the Liang family to send people to the front line to guard the city the next day.

The reason cited was that the troops sent by the Imperial Court had suffered heavy casualties, and needed to recuperate for a while to better protect Zhuang Prefectural City.

Hearing that they were guarding the city in Zhuang Prefectural City, Liang Zongxing heaved a sigh of relief in his mind.

If the Liang family was asked to guard another city, they wouldn’t be able to take care of the Liang family’s businesses.

After the eldest prince’s men left the Liang family, the news that the Liang family was about to defend the city quickly spread.

“Have you heard? The soldiers guarding our Zhuang Prefectural City will be replaced by members of the Liang family.”

“The Liang family? Why is it the Liang family? Even though the Liang family has risen again, there are still not many people. How can they possibly defend our Zhuang Prefectural City? Isn’t that a joke?”

“Right, what exactly is His Highness thinking? Even if he lacks troops, he shouldn’t have assigned someone from the Liang family!”

“Right, is the City Lord of Zhuang Prefectural City just for show?”
