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

At dawn the next day, Mr. Leng went down to the back mountain under the protection of the officers and soldiers he had placed in the exile team.

Now he doesn't care whether it is exposed or not, because what happened last night has been exposed to everyone.

The officers who had been protecting them had been exposed, so he didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

"Ran'er, did you take action last night?"

Leng Youran didn't rush to reply when she saw him coming. Instead, she took out breakfast and let him eat while talking.

"Well, yes, I noticed something was wrong the day those people left town. They showed it last night, and I couldn't help it."

Old Master Leng opened his mouth slightly while biting a bun, his eyes fixed on her. After a while, he swallowed the bun in his mouth and asked, "You, you went there that day too?"

Leng Youran didn't expect that he would explode himself. He chuckled and said, "Yeah, I went. I was afraid that you guys would worry, so I didn't go out to meet you."

After hearing her say this, Mr. Leng didn't know whether he should blame her or not. He shook his head slightly to show his helplessness.

"Grandfather, I want to ask you what's going on with Zhao Xu?"

"Zhao Xu?"

"Ah."

"Why are you so curious about him all of a sudden?"

Leng Youran did not hide it and told Old Man Leng about her plan.

After hearing what she said, Mr. Leng opened his mouth halfway, not knowing what to say.

"You, do you really think so?" Old Master Leng didn't know whether to say that his granddaughter was bold or naive. She actually wanted to incite the emperor to rebel.

"No matter how I think about it, it's useless. We don't know his situation yet. Grandfather, think about it, if this really happens, won't it be an extra layer of protection for you along the way?"

How could Mr. Leng not know that what she said was right, but...

"There's not much hope." Old Master Leng said after thinking about it.

"Why?"

"Do you know why he is called Zhao Xu?"

Leng Youran shook her head. How would she know? It was just given by his father.

"His original surname wasn't Zhao. He changed it to Zhao Mingyao's, a so-called bestowed surname. You should know what it means to have a royal surname, right? Now that you know this, do you think Zhao Xu is still likely to defect?"

"Grandfather, please tell me what's going on here first, so I can make a judgment."

Seeing she still wasn't giving up, Old Master Leng found a flat rock to sit on before saying, "I don't really know the details, but the general situation is that Zhao Xu's father frequented prostitutes for years and eventually brought home a prostitute. That woman, relying on Zhao Xu's father's favor, constantly troubled Zhao Xu's mother. Ultimately, Zhao Xu's mother was divorced by his father, and Zhao Xu was also kicked out for disrespecting his future mother."

"Of course, these are all rumors from the outside world. As for whether there are any hidden secrets, Grandfather has no idea."

"However, after Zhao Xu left the palace, he followed the Third Prince, now the new Emperor, to his side. Later, Zhao Xu's newly ascended mother was sentenced to death for offending the Third Prince's wife. His father was also implicated and expelled from the capital. It seems he is now serving as a county magistrate in a small place."

Leng Youran also sat down next to Old Man Leng, put one hand on his back and used his supernatural power to comb his body, and took off the water bag from his waist with the other hand and handed it to the old man, then lowered his head and began to think.

"Grandfather, do you know where Zhao Xu's mother is now?"

Old Master Leng drank the water she handed him, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then said, "Chaoyang Lane in Beijing."

"Zhao Xu doesn't have a mansion?"

"Hmm." This was also something that Old Master Leng couldn't figure out. Before setting off, he didn't know that the person escorting them this time was Zhao Xu. Most of his knowledge of Zhao Xu was from hearsay in the capital.

During this period, he often got together with Li Tianze to discuss Zhao Xu's affairs, but they didn't know him very well.

"Haven't you given up yet?" Old Master Leng looked at his granddaughter's eager look and knew that this girl was still determined to do something evil.

"We haven't done anything yet, how can we just give up like this?"

"Alright, you have your own ideas now, so I won't interfere. But you have to promise me that no matter what happens, your own safety is more important, okay?"

"Well, don't worry, Grandfather. I won't joke with my life."

What a joke! She hasn't even enjoyed a single day of happiness since she came back, how could she lose her life?

Old Master Leng didn't know whether she had listened to him or not. Knowing that she had the ability to save her life, he didn't say much.

She stood up and was about to leave, but then she remembered that she hadn't gotten the hook knife for Li Tianduo last night. "It seems that the hook knife of the Li family's second kid is a little difficult to get!"

"No rush, Grandfather, you guys protect yourself first."

Old Master Leng nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Leng Youran fed the Leng family as usual, and prepared food for the Li family before returning to the space.

She thought about it for a long time in her space and decided to go to the capital in person to take a look.

It's not her character to give up without doing anything.

After figuring it out, he looked outside the space and saw Li Tianze looking around outside, and it was obvious that he was looking for someone.

Leng Youran thought about it and flashed out of the space, deliberately making some noise somewhere else, and took advantage of Li Tianze's distraction to come out from behind him.

"Find me?"

Li Tianze heard her voice and turned around suddenly, "Miss Leng."

"Well, what's the matter? Why do you need me so early in the morning?"

"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask you about my second brother..."

"Looks like Grandfather hasn't had a chance to tell you yet."

Li Tianze raised his eyebrows. Indeed, he had been thinking about Li Tianduo since early morning. Before coming over, it seemed that Old Man Leng had something to say, but he was too impatient and came over without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"I'm sorry, it turns out you've already discussed this with the old man."

"It's okay, it's okay to tell you again..."

Li Tianze felt relieved after getting her answer. He ate something, said goodbye to Leng Youran and left.

Leng Youran waited until the evening when the exile team stopped in a dilapidated temple to rest. After feeding everyone, he left quietly.

She used her wind-related abilities and rushed back to the capital overnight.

They were on the road these days, and she was not idle either. Whenever she came across a forest, she would absorb the essence of wood. When there were no forests, she would hide in space to improve her other abilities.

Fortunately, the mission was accomplished. The thunder and fire abilities have reached the second level, and the wind ability has also reached the third level.

What made Leng Youran most happy was that her psychic ability had reached level four, which allowed her to have a more comprehensive control over the surrounding situation, making her like a walking surveillance camera.

The improvement of her wind ability allowed her to travel faster. She could fly far away with just occasional help. Although she had no internal force to support her, her speed was comparable to that of a master of light skills with profound internal force. It would not be difficult for her to catch up with the exile team on the second day.

It was just after midnight when she returned to the capital. She found a secluded place, flew over the high city wall, and quickly found Chaoyang Lane according to the direction given by Old Man Leng.
