1501 The Eldest Princeâs Ambition (3)
âI heard that the members of the Liang family offended the eldest prince, so they were deliberately targeted by His Highness, the Eldest Prince and sent to the front line to tempting fate.â
âIs this for real? Wouldnât that become His Highness using his position to take revenge?â
âThe Imperial Court sent His Highness here to resist the beast tide, not for him to take revenge. His Highness is so narrow-minded and canât differentiate between public and private matters. Heâs simply too disappointing!â
âRight, if our entire Zhuang Prefectural City makes His Highness unhappy, will His Highness sacrifice the entire Zhuang Prefectural City?!â
âThatâs hard to say. After all, the Liang family is a good example right now.â
âHis Highness spoke so righteously before, but in the end, heâs just a despicable person who used his position to take revenge. Heâs simply not a gentleman.â
âShh⊠Stop talking. Do you see the two people over there? Theyâre the guards of His Highness. Donât let them hear you.â
The group of people who were originally discussing animatedly immediately shut their mouths after hearing that and continued doing what they were supposed to do.
Even though they were furious at Duanmu Chunâs despicable behavior, they didnât want to stand out.
So, they only dared to talk about it behind his back.
âŠ
In the relay station in Zhuang Prefectural City.
âYour Highness, just as you expected, almost everyone in Zhuang Prefectural City is discussing the Liang family guarding the city tomorrow.â
The guards, who were dressed in plain clothes, walked around Zhuang Prefectural City and returned to the intermediate station to report to the eldest prince.
Duanmu Chun supported his head with one hand and lay on his side on the low couch, enjoying Cheng Suâerâs service.
After Duanmu Chun ate the spiritual fruit Cheng Suâer put to his mouth, he said, âHow did those people react?â
âThose people donât believe that the Liang family can protect Zhuang Prefectural City,â the guard replied truthfully.
Hearing that, Duanmu Chun chuckled in a good mood and slowly sat up from the low couch.
Seeing this, Cheng Suâer quickly tidied his slightly messy clothes carefully and knelt on the ground to put on his shoes.
Duanmu Chun raised his hand and picked up the teacup by the table. He took a sip and asked, âHowâs the Liang family?â
The guard shook his head. âThereâs still no movement from them.â
Duanmu Chun stopped drinking his tea and his originally good mood immediately disappeared without a trace.
âIt seems that the Liang family is the same as Fourth Brother. Theyâre both tough nuts to crack.â
Duanmu Chunâs eyes reflected a terrifying dark light and his tone was as cold as a poisonous snake. It couldnât help but make peopleâs hair stand on end.
âYour Highness, do you need me to add fuel to the fire?â The guard asked tentatively.
Duanmu Chun narrowed his eyes slightly and said again after a while, âNo, just ask someone to keep an eye on them.â
âYes, Your Highness.â The guard received the order respectfully and retreated after getting Duanmu Chunâs permission.
âYour Highness, the Liang family doesnât have many people. If they really canât defend the city, wonât Zhuang Prefectural City fall?â
After Cheng Suâer put on Duanmu Chunâs shoes, she didnât get up immediately, but continued to kneel, because she knew that what Duanmu Chun liked the most was the sense of superiority when she completely submitted to him.
Duanmu Chun lowered his eyes and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. âWhatâs the matter? You canât bear to see it?â
âOf course not.â Cheng Suâer quickly denied it. âIâm just worried about Your Highnessâs safety. After all, Your Highness is currently in Zhuang Prefectural City. Once Zhuang Prefectural City falls, wonât Your Highness be in danger?â
Looking at Cheng Suâerâs humble posture and the undisguised worry on her face, Duanmu Chunâs originally gloomy mood suddenly improved.
