"The last one will be guarding the place under the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If it is not necessary, Mr. Zhang would better not go out!" The guard leader answered. In fact, he received the order in the middle of the night. The guards at the door were only openly. There were still many guards guarding the surroundings. Others ignored them, but Zhang Zong would never allow him to leave.

"Cousin? Why did he issue this order?" Xue Shao was stunned when he heard this. He never dreamed that it was the order given by Li Hong.

Zhang Zong beside him, his heartbeat sank and his face became very ugly, because he had already understood Li Hong's intention. It was probably Li Hong who might have guessed that he would elope or something, so he sent someone to prohibit him from leaving.

"Nonsense, I don't believe my cousin will do this, I'll go see him!" At this time, Xue Shao finally reacted, immediately screamed angrily, and then walked towards Furongyuan.

Zhang Zong also wanted to see Li Hong, but when he saw the guards in front of the door, he couldn't help but sigh in secret. These people would definitely not let him leave, and they were also on orders to act, so there was no need to make things difficult for them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong turned around and returned home, but his steps became very heavy. Li Hong had blocked the road he left. Now he couldn't even leave the house, let alone elope with Ning'er.

"Isn't... there really is no way?" Zhang Zong sat in the yard with a depressed look on his face. For the first time he felt so powerless from time to time.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I heard footsteps outside the door close to Furong Garden. When Zhang Zong raised his head, he unexpectedly saw that Princess Chengyang and Li Hong were gathered together, and behind them was Xue Shao, who was dejected.

Seeing that Princess Chengyang actually walked in with Li Hong, Zhang Zong felt that his heart was sinking again, and he had not even seen the bottom of it. He seemed to have understood why Li Hong guessed so quickly that he might escape.

"Zhang Zong, I..." Li Hong came to Zhang Zong and seemed to want to explain something, but after just saying a few words, he could no longer say it, and then he was a long sigh.

Princess Chengyang also sighed and came to Zhang Zong, and was silent for a moment before speaking: "Zong'er, don't blame me. Although Ning'er didn't say anything, I am her mother. No matter how much she hides her, she still can't escape my eyes in the end. I will never want you to take risks for a moment of impulse!"

"It's true!" Zhang Zong looked at Princess Chengyang bitterly and said softly. He knew that no matter how much Li Hong knew him, he would not have guessed that he was going to run away so quickly. However, Princess Chengyang was different. She not only knew herself, but also knew Ning'er, especially Ning'er, who had no cunning. As long as she showed a little abnormality, she would immediately notice it and guess her plans.

"Crown Prince, Sanlang, you go back first. I have something to talk to Zong'er alone!" Princess Chengyang looked at Zhang Zong who was so sad, and also showed a look of heartache on her face, and then ordered Li Hong and Xue Shao.

"Mom, you..." Xue Shao seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Li Hong. Then he looked at Zhang Zong and said, "Zhang Zong, no matter how you blame me and my aunt, I just want to say that we are really considering you!"

After Li Hong said that, he pulled Xue Shao and left, and Zhang Zong was still sitting there with a blank look on his face, as if he had not listened to Li Hong's words.

Princess Chengyang sighed again when she looked at Zhang Zong's appearance, then sat gently beside Zhang Zong and said again: "Zong'er, I know my decision seems very cruel to you, but think about it carefully, even if you really escape from Chang'an, where can you accommodate me in the future?"

Hearing the words of Princess Chengyang, Zhang Zong finally slowly opened his eyes and said, "The world is so big, how can we accommodate us? Not to mention anything else, as long as we escape to the south and find a place where no one knows, who can find us?"

"It's a big mistake!" Unexpectedly, Princess Chengyang heard his words and criticized loudly, "Do you think it's okay to find a small place to hide it? But you don't think about it. You'll be relaxed when you leave, but what will happen to those people related to you?"

"How is it?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this. He was only thinking about escaping for the past two days, but he had never thought about anything else.

"You are not alone, and there are countless relatives and friends behind you. Your uncle and the others are all in Xiangzhou. The whole family can't run away, and there are also your friends, and they can't run away either. But if you would rather run away than marry the only daughter of the Emperor of Tang, how angry do you think he will be? And the family and friends behind you will not be implicated!"

Princess Chengyang also showed a heartbroken expression when she spoke at the end. She knew her brother. Although Li Zhi seemed to be a good person, once he decided to do something, he would not even think of bringing back the nine-headed cows. If Zhang Zong really angered him because of this, he might send someone to heaven and earth to capture Zhang Zong back.

Zhang Zong finally woke up after hearing this. Princess Chengyang may not be afraid of being implicated. After all, Li Zhi would not be cruel to attack his own sister. However, in anger, he was likely to take his anger on Zhang Zong's relatives and friends, especially Zhang Jianzhi and others from Xiangzhou, who may be punished for him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but feel a little scared. He had lived alone in the capital for a long time, and sometimes he almost forgot that he had other family members. In addition, he was influenced by later generations and always felt that his crimes would not involve others, but he forgot that there were crimes such as convictions in this era, such as killing the nine clans. Although he could escape, the relatives and friends behind him could not escape with him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong also showed a painful expression. Princess Chengyang reached out to touch Zhang Zong's hair and said again with a loving look on her face: "Zong'er, you are a smart person, but sometimes you will make wrong decisions under impulse. Although this incident has aggrieved you and Ning'er, you can only learn to accept it for the sake of the overall situation!"

When Princess Chengyang spoke at the end, she sighed again. She also wanted to spend all her daughters and Zhang Zong, but luck made people so peacefully that everything ruined. Not to mention, even Li Zhi, as the emperor, could not take back the imperial edict, so this matter was a foregone conclusion and there was no room for recovery.
