The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

"How is the situation with the Crown Prince now?"

Zheng Yue bowed slightly, which was exactly what he wanted to say. Now that he had already thrown all the mud at Yang Ling, it was up to him to decide what to do next.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, everything is ready on the Crown Prince's side, and he will certainly not disappoint you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang's smile deepened.

"That's good then, you can go now!"

Zheng Yue bowed slightly and turned to leave. Just as he stepped out of the imperial city, a loud bang echoed through the sky above the palace.

After the loud bang, chaos instantly erupted in the imperial city.

Upon hearing the sound, Zheng Yue sneered. Wasn't this the moment he had been waiting for?

"Your Highness, the Ninth Prince has already left the city!"

……

At this moment, Yang Ling and his companion had successfully left the capital and were on their way to Liangzhou.

Just as I entered a jungle, I heard a loud bang overhead, and my heart jumped into my throat.

"Your Highness, hurry! The court has probably already discovered us!"

Upon hearing Changqing's words, Yang Ling's eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

He was all too familiar with that voice.

It seems that his father has brought all the things he has researched to him.

I wonder if he will be able to continue the research even if he devotes all the resources of the country to it.

“If we just leave like this, what will happen to the brothers who came with me!”

Yang Ling was not the kind of heartless person. Back then, he was able to travel from Liangzhou to the capital thanks to the desperate protection of his brothers.

Now that they've fled, their only fate is death, an outcome Yang Ling absolutely doesn't want to see.

Changqing's expression darkened upon hearing Yang Ling's words, as it was still uncertain whether they could return alive.

"Shut up!"

Just then, a roar of horses came from ahead, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Yang Ling frowned slightly, and by the moonlight, he saw that the person who came was Zhang Liao, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Zhang Liao, holding a long sword, walked towards Yang Ling with a murderous look on his face.

"Your Highness, please come with me back to the capital to face my punishment!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was the most elite force in the court, but he never expected that his father would send these people. It seemed that his father was determined to kill him today!

"Commander Zhang, even you want to stop me from going west?"

Yang Ling sneered. Could it be that he was ultimately destined to never escape from here?

To his surprise, Zhang Liao burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty was merely confused for a moment. Your Highness, come back with me and explain everything clearly. I believe Your Majesty will change your mind."

At this moment, Zhang Liao still held onto a sliver of hope, for he held Yang Ling in high regard.

Yang Ling burst into laughter upon hearing this. A change of heart? Those four words sounded so sarcastic!

"Commander Zhang, since our first meeting, our relationship has been much better than that of ordinary people. But if you insist on stopping me today, then don't blame me for disregarding our friendship!"

As Yang Ling spoke, he gripped his pistol tightly. As long as he killed Zhang Liao, these Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would not dare to obstruct him because of his status as a prince.

Perhaps sensing the murderous aura emanating from Yang Ling, Zhang Liao waved to the people behind him, and all the soldiers retreated.

Zhang Liao also dismounted and walked respectfully to Yang Ling.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? I came here today because I wish to return to Liangzhou with Your Highness. Now that the country is on the verge of collapse, I believe that only Your Highness is the rightful ruler to bring about the dynasty's rise!"

Yang Ling was quite surprised by what Zhang Liao said. He never expected that Zhang Liao would choose to join him at this time!

"What General Zhang said is all true!"

Yang Ling looked at Zhang Liao with a serious expression, after all, these words carried a great deal of weight.

Zhang Liao nodded very seriously. He had long been fed up with the corrupt atmosphere in the court, and now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to join forces with Yang Ling to accomplish great things.

Looking at Zhang Liao in front of him, Yang Ling felt somewhat excited. If he could really bring Zhang Liao into his camp, things would be much more secure in the future.

But then I thought again, Zhang Liao is one of Emperor Liang’s most trusted generals. Is it too hasty to choose to join him so easily?

"General Zhang, aren't you afraid of being wanted by the royal family?"

As soon as Yang Ling said this, Zhang Liao burst into laughter and took out a gold medal from his pocket.

"With this, I can freely enter and leave any city. With just one word from Your Highness, I can move freely not only in the capital, but also throughout the entire Great Liang!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling's expression changed slightly; he naturally knew what this token meant.

This token was bestowed upon Zhang Liao by the old emperor when he was in power. Possessing this token is equivalent to having the right to execute first and report later!

Yang Ling's lips curled up slightly. With the words of this Tiger and Leopard Cavalry commander, he would naturally be even more at ease in Liangzhou in the future.

"Okay, that's enough!"

After Yang Ling finished speaking, she turned around and glanced at Chang Qing.

"Let's go now!"

Zhang Liao nodded and pulled all the horses out of the ground.

These Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had all come with Zhang Liao, and they smiled when they heard Yang Ling's words.

Zhang Liao waved to these people, and they turned and disappeared into the woods.

Seeing all this, Yang Ling's lips curled up slightly. He really hadn't expected Zhang Liao to make such a decision.

Let's go now!

Yang Ling put the pistol in his pocket, turned around and left. Chang Qing glanced at Zhang Liao in front of him, feeling somewhat helpless, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, the entire palace was in complete chaos, and Emperor Liang's face was gloomy.

He saw that loud bang clearly; someone was using firearms!

This is what he cares about most right now. If this thing falls into the wrong hands, wouldn't the world be thrown into chaos?

"Send men to find the Ninth Prince immediately!"

Emperor Liang said with a gloomy face. Now he was somewhat regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should not have listened to Zheng Yue.

Emperor Liang was still filled with remorse, but he forgot how crazy he had been back then.

At this moment, Zheng Yue was looking in the direction of the city gate, with a sinister smile on his face.

This is exactly the effect he wanted. Now that the relationship between Emperor Liang and Yang Ling is irreconcilable, he has no reason to obstruct his plans.
