Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Li Tianze suddenly emerged from the space. His eyes were still a little unaccustomed to the darkness outside. He closed his eyes and looked at the surrounding scene. He glanced at the direction Leng Youran pointed and said, "It should be the direction of Zhoucheng."

He was not sure about the specific route because he had never been to this mountain before. He could only judge based on the direction taken by the man in the veiled hat.

After all, there are many cities in the south of the north.

"I'll continue following." Leng Youran wanted to take Li Tianze back to the space after saying that, but Li Tianze stopped her, "I'll go with you. It won't be easy to find you in the dark."

The mountains were already shrouded in darkness, and he wouldn't feel at ease leaving her alone outside.

Even though she was very capable, he was a man and could never let his woman face such a dark night alone.

Leng Youran thought about it and decided that this was feasible, so she didn't refuse.

After flying for a while, the two caught up with the man in black, but because of the previous incident with Chu Zhaolin, they did not get too close.

The man in the veiled hat did not notice them. He ran all the way and arrived at Zhoucheng just as Li Tianze said.

Seeing Zhou Cheng right under his feet, Leng Youran gave Li Tianze a thumbs-up in admiration, "You have a sharp eye. You can see this."

Li Tianze rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "It's just a random guess."

Leng Youran pursed her lips, her face full of disbelief.

The two followed the man to a yard, and the more they looked, the more familiar he looked.

Then the two of them looked at each other and mouthed the words at the same time: "Mr. Zhou?"

After they finished speaking, they nodded at the same time.

After returning to the space, the two of them sat in the hall and lost their sleepiness.

When You Xian came out of the room in the morning, he saw the two of them sitting around the coffee table writing and drawing.

Curious, he approached the two of them and took a look at the drawing on the paper. After a long while, he couldn't figure out what it meant. There was an arrow, then another arrow. He pointed at the paper curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"Huh?" Leng Youran's eyes were bloodshot because she hadn't slept all night and had been staring at the paper. She didn't even notice You Xian coming over.

"Master, are you awake?" His voice was hoarse.

You Xian frowned distressedly, "Did you not sleep all night?"

Leng Youran nodded and recounted what happened last night.

When You Xian heard that Li Tianze hadn't rested either, his frown softened slightly. He then asked, "What does this drawing mean? Who is Mr. Zhou? What's his relationship with Zhao Mingyao? And how is he connected to Qin Zhaohai?"

Although the two of them already had a relationship, he also realized after what happened in the capital that although Qin Zhaohai helped Zhao Mingyao, his intentions were not pure at all.

Now the two of them are involved again, which means that Leng Youran and the others have found a common point.

"We've already found out that Mr. Zhou is loyal to Zhao Mingyao. Last night, when we followed the man in black, we discovered that he was actually a minion of the person behind the scenes. So now I'm wondering how many people Qin Zhaohai has arranged in places where Zhao Mingyao doesn't know."

You Xian sat beside them and took the paper from her hand. "It seems that Liancheng's housekeeper Zheng is not truly loyal to Zhao Mingyao. Now I suddenly feel that Zhao Mingyao is also very pitiful. I thought before that he could still fight with Queen Mother Chu, but now it seems that he is just a joke."

Looking back, the capital city should have been controlled by Qin Zhaohai a long time ago!

Zhao Mingyao's every move should be seen by Qin Zhaohai!

How ridiculous!

"Yes, fortunately Zhao Mingyao became the emperor, if it were the former crown prince..." Li Tianze suddenly thought of the former crown prince.

Leng Youran thought of Chong'er when he said this. Yes, if his father was still alive, what would the capital be like now?

If he is still away from home, the Leng family should also be in the capital!

If that were really the case, even if they hadn't been persecuted, they would probably have had trouble moving in the capital!

I wonder if the former crown prince also understood this when he was dying that day, which is why he thought of sending Chong'er away so that he could leave behind the last bit of his bloodline.

You Xian let out a long sigh and leaned back on the sofa. "Now I know why you came back at that time, Ran'er. Everything was destined!"

Li Tianze nodded in agreement, "Yes, if Ran'er doesn't come back, or comes back later, it will be difficult for our Li and Leng families to escape from the capital unscathed."

After hearing what the two said, Leng Youran felt for the first time that she had returned at the right time.

"is it?"

"Yes, if you don't come back, the old emperor is planning to abdicate the throne to the prince. Although the prince can ascend the throne and be emperor for a few days, his end will probably be no better than death." Li Tianze said with certainty.

Because the old emperor trusted him very much, he once said that he would let the prince ascend the throne in the New Year, but he was no longer able to do so.

If that happens, as royalists, they will have no way out.

So Leng Youran returned in time. If the old emperor had not died suddenly and disrupted the plans of Zhao Mingyao and others, the capital would have been in ruins long ago.

"Yes, Ran'er, you used to think your fate was bad, but now think about it, isn't it precious? You have saved so many people. Although the people behind you are still plotting in the dark, you have already begun to build your own power. Not to mention that you have saved so many people, if the Northland develops better in the future, I believe there will be many people who want to go there, and by then, there will be even more people under your protection. So, your life is precious."

Leng Youran suddenly felt a sense of mission in his heart.

It seems to be true. Although she does not have the ambition to rule the world, she can still protect her own pure land.

No matter how chaotic the world is, the North is the best way out.

The area is vast and rich in resources, and its development is not much different from that of the capital. Especially with her here, I believe it will only get better.

"Master, originally I only planned to settle the people in the North, but now I think that since there are so many empty places in the North, we should develop them more."

You Xian and Li Tianze both understood the meaning of her words.

smiled.

"Do whatever you want to do. I believe in you." You Xian patted her shoulder.

Li Tianze also gave her an encouraging look.

After finding out this, Leng Youran no longer had the mood to continue investigating.

Now, for her, no matter what the people behind the scenes want to do, she will build the North. No matter what, she will protect it well, just as a piece of pure land in troubled times.
