Yusui Chang'an

The masked man stepped back when he saw Liang Zechuan. Before leaving, he glanced at the thief's forehead. He had not yet retracted the flying knife, stepped on the carriage to gain momentum, and disappeared on the roof in a few leaps.

The guards followed Liang Zechuan downstairs and asked if they could chase him. Liang Zechuan looked around:

"If you protect them, you are friends, not enemies. If they don't want to show up, there's no need to make things difficult for them."

As he spoke, Liang Zechuan stepped forward and asked the two frightened princesses with concern. Seeing that they were not injured, Liang Zechuan asked them why they went out with only their maids.

Hua Yunnuo was about to speak when she heard Hua Yuncheng's call from behind and immediately turned around. Seeing her anxious brother, Hua Yunnuo felt wronged and afraid:
"Brother, I'm scared to death..."

Hua Yuncheng hugged his crying sister, and his panicked heart gradually calmed down. He glanced at the situation at the scene, coaxed his sister, and nodded towards Liang Zechuan with gratitude.

Liang Nanyin's face, except for a bit of paleness from shock, was relatively calm. However, her hand, which was clasped with Mu Zhi, was shaking uncontrollably. Looking at the siblings not far away, Liang Nanyin's eyes were filled with envy.

While Hua Yuncheng was coaxing people, Liang Zechuan signaled his guards to hide the flying knife left by the masked man.

After Hua Yuncheng had coaxed his sister, Liang Zechuan said:
"After being away from home for so long and being frightened, I'm sure Prince Rui and the Sixth Princess must be homesick. After all, this happened in Tianchu State today, so we should report it to the authorities."

Hua Yuncheng instantly understood Liang Zechuan's meaning. It seemed that Ye Liang, like Pingnan, did not want to stay in Tianchu for long, fearing that he would become a hostage. This incident was just an opportunity.

With Hua Yuncheng's consent, Liang Zechuan ordered his personal guards to report to the police and hide the masked man who suddenly appeared. After this scare, Hua Yunnuo and Liang Nanyin no longer wanted to play, and they returned to the hotel together.

After changing his clothes and dealing with Teng Chenglin who knew about this, Liang Zechuan asked his personal guards to invite Liang Nanyin and Muzhi.

After paying his respects and sitting down, Liang Zechuan saw that Liang Nanyin and Muzhi both looked down and acted like quails. Liang Zechuan did not get angry, but brewed some tea and sipped it slowly. After finishing the tea, he waved his hand to signal his guards to go out and guard the door, then he looked at the two of them and said:
"I am too lazy to deal with your father's people. Asking in private proves that I am willing to protect you. If you don't tell me, I won't make it difficult for you. Just pretend you don't know about it. But if Master Teng finds out something, don't come to ask me again. So I will only ask once, what trouble did your little maid cause?"

Liang Nanyin bit her lip. The gang of thieves abandoned their two masters, Liang Nanyin and Hua Yunnuo, and only arrested the servant Muzhi. Most people would think it was wrong, let alone Uncle King Kang, who her father regarded as a serious threat?

He tilted his head slightly and spoke to Mu Zhi, who was standing behind him and was very nervous:

"Go ahead, the emperor's uncle is one of us, he will definitely protect us."

Liang Zechuan heard the subtle intention in his niece's words, but did not reveal it. He poured himself some tea and listened quietly to Mu Zhi's explanation:

Years ago, Tianchu defeated Mobei and obtained the treasure accumulated by several generations of the Xue family. After the royal family of Yeliang learned that Tianchu obtained this treasure, their national strength would increase greatly and their ambitions would inevitably expand. They might even attack Yeliang. After weighing the pros and cons, they came up with the idea of ​​marriage, and the candidate was Liang Nanyin, who had just passed the age of 15 and was out of favor.

Liang Nanyin's favored sister got wind of the news and ran to Liang Nanyin to mock her. Liang Nanyin then realized that she had been chosen as a hostage to please Tian Chu. At that time, the marriage had not been finalized, and the selection process was just underway to guard the imperial mausoleum during the New Year. In order to save her life, Liang Nanyin pretended to be unaware and offered to guard the mausoleum. (End of this chapter)
