In the end, the brothers didn’t buy any ready-to-wear clothes and quickly left the shop.
After the shopkeeper sent the brothers off, he went to check on the two sets of clothes. Then, he put away the clothes and fell asleep again.
After walking out of the shop, Luo Cheng and Ling Heng returned to the cheapest shop they had gone to ask about previously. After they bought a few ready-to-wear clothes, they left the capital with pained expressions.
As the saying went, one had to act until the end. As the two of them walked, they muttered that money wasn’t easy to earn these days, but there were so many places to spend money.
This way, no one suspected that there was anything wrong with the brothers.
After confirming that there was no one following them, Luo Cheng and Ling Heng circled around a few more times before returning to their previous residence.
After the brothers removed their disguises, they sat together and took a sip of tea.
“Luo Cheng, what did your note say?” Ling Heng asked after drinking a cup of tea.
“Mr. Zhennan is reliable!” Luo Cheng revealed the words he had seen.
“Mine said that the token can command!” Ling Heng also revealed what he had seen.
Not knowing what to say, the two brothers looked at each other.
Ling Heng thought for a moment and said, “Don’t you think Father didn’t already expect this?! That’s why Father told me about that token the last time I entered the palace!”
Luo Cheng sighed and said, “I think Father is just holding back! It’s just that he didn’t expect his backup plan to really come in handy!”
Ling Heng thought of something and said, “By the way, when I went to the capital, my informant sent me a message that the Eldest Princess had defected to King Fu. That’s why our father and other brothers were killed!”
Luo Cheng wasn’t surprised.
He had been on guard against the Eldest Princess ever since the manic incident happened.
Therefore, he let Ling Heng handle the medicine delivery from the secret passage. He didn’t participate in it himself.
From the looks of it, he had done the right thing back then.
“Luo Cheng, you don’t seem surprised at all. Could it be that you suspected the Eldest Princess since long ago?” Ling Heng asked in confusion.
“That’s right. I’ve long suspected that the Eldest Princess wasn’t a reliable person!” Luo Cheng said.
Actually, the reason Luo Cheng suspected the Eldest Princess was because of Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran had interacted with the Eldest Princess for a period of time, and it was precisely because of this period of time that she had mixed feelings about the Eldest Princess.
At that time, Li Xiaoran suddenly thought of something and told Luo Cheng about the Eldest Princess.
“I can’t see through the Eldest Princess! No matter what happens, she remains very calm, as if nothing can shake her! To be able to control her emotions so well means that she has very impressive self-control! Such a person is deeply trusted by the Old Master, but once this type of person rebels, it will be a devastating blow to the Old Master!”
Luo Cheng had also listened to Li Xiaoran’s words and became wary of the Eldest Princess, so he asked his Third Brother, Ling Heng, to enter the secret passage with the Eldest Princess and send the antidote to the royal family.
That time was actually a test. If the Eldest Princess hadn’t sent the antidote to the palace, Luo Cheng would definitely have kept an eye on her.
Unfortunately, the Eldest Princess was too smart. She seemed to have sensed Luo Cheng’s suspicion, so she didn’t tamper with it along the way. Instead, she successfully sent the antidote into the royal family.
It was also because of this that Luo Cheng turned his attention away from the Eldest Princess, but he didn’t expect the Eldest Princess to take advantage of this.
Ling Heng said, “What should we do now? We can’t make any moves in the capital! Prince Fu is surrounded by his people, and the two of us don’t have any commander’s seals. We can only follow Father’s instructions to find Mr.
Zhennan first!”
“What kind of person is Mr. Zhennan?” Luo Cheng suddenly asked.
“Speaking of Mr. Zhennan, he’s really a very low-key person! Although we all knew that there was such a person, everyone knew that Mr. Zhennan didn’t care about politics and liked to travel all day long. Moreover, we couldn’t find him even if we wanted to! Anyway, the few of us brothers have never seen Mr. Zhennan!” Ling Heng said.
Luo Cheng pondered over this.
“In other words, even if we see Mr. Zhennan, we might not be able to recognize if he’s the real Mr. Zhennan or not?”
Ling Henc also thought of this Droblem and frowned slightlv.
“Third Brother, it seems that we have to forge a token. Only then can we be prepared!” Luo Cheng suddenly made a suggestion.
Ling Heng immediately understood what Luo Cheng meant and nodded. “Good idea. We should indeed do that!”
At this moment, Zi Cheng walked over with a messenger pigeon and handed the note inside to Luo Cheng.
After Luo Cheng opened it, his expression changed.
“Third Brother, let’s split up! Make some fake tokens first, then disguise yourself and go look for Mr. Zhennan. Something happened in White Foothill City, so I have to go back and deal with it! After I go back this time, I won’t hide the fact that I’m still alive. This way, I can attract Prince Fu and the others’ attention to me. It’ll be easier for you to look for Mr. Zhennan!”
Ling Heng was very touched by Luo Cheng’s words.
“Luo Cheng, you’ll bring yourself a lot of danger!”
“Third Brother, don’t worry! Someone has to stand in the open to attract attention! Do whatever you want. As long as we can kill Prince Fu and calm the chaos, everything will be worth it!” Luo Cheng said.
After the brothers discussed some more important matters, Luo Cheng set off overnight and rushed back to Hele Village.
They actually dared to have designs on Li Xiaoran. No matter who it was, they had to be prepared to be retaliated against by Luo Cheng. A dragon had an achilles heel. Anyone who touched it would die.
Li Xiaoran was Luo Cheng’s achilles heel!
Therefore, Ling He was dead meat!
This note had been sent over by Luo Ziyang with a messenger pigeon. It wrote that Ling He had come to cause trouble and that Ling Hui had designs on Li Xiaoran.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he could no longer sit still.
Since they couldn’t do anything in the capital now, at least he could go back and teach Ling He a lesson.
Luo Cheng blamed everything on Prince Fu’s family.
It just so happened that after eliminating Ling He, Prince Fu would have a taste of how it felt to lose his family member!
Li Xiaoran didn’t know that Luo Cheng was already rushing back. At this moment, she went to the roasted duck shop with a dark expression.
Seeing a group of soldiers surrounding the roasted duck shop, Li Xiaoran walked in and immediately saw Ling He eating duck legs inside..
