Chapter 869: Different Pathways

After hearing this news, Luo Ziyang immediately sent the news to Luo Cheng by messenger pigeon.
When Luo Cheng received the letter, he was meeting General Guo and the others.
When he saw Luo Cheng again, General Guo felt that Luo Cheng had changed.
In the past, Luo Cheng didn’t have any presence at all. Most ministers in the imperial court never considered siding with the Seventh Prince, Luo Cheng.
However, as they got closer to Luo Cheng and understood more about him, General Guo realized that the ministers of the government were wrong.
To be honest, if Mr. Luo was willing to sit on that throne, it would be a blessing for the commoners.
Unfortunately, the first thing Luo Cheng did when he came to see them was to state his attitude.
“Before we discuss the big matter, there’s something I want to make clear first.
This time, our alliance is led by the Third Prince! After the matter is resolved, I’ll return to Sichuan. The Third Prince, Ling Heng, will ascend the throne! I hope everyone can assist him with whole-heartedly! You don’t have to worry. He genuinely cares about the commoners! If you guys don’t believe me, you’ll understand when you come into contact with my third brother in the future!”
General Guo and the others didn’t expect Luo Cheng to be unwilling to fight for the throne at this time. Instead, he was willing to assist the Third Prince in ascending the throne.
There were pros and cons to this matter, but it was a good thing for the current situation.
As long as they had a clear understanding of their position, everyone would be able to get things done faster if they worked together.
After everything was clear, the planning went smoothly.
After the group came up with a plan, they went to get busy.
Ling Heng and Mr. Zhennan were approaching the capital with an army of 100,000. The Eldest Princess’s subordinates were also approaching the city with troops.
Originally, King Fu’s men planned to close the city gate and fight the army with all their might.
Unfortunately, Luo Cheng and the others didn’t give them a chance to fight.
It turned out that after Luo Cheng met the Eldest Princess, through interrogation and through Li Xiaoran’s mind-reading, he found out that King Fu didn’t know about the secret passage in the royal family.
Therefore, after the Third Prince rushed to the capital, everyone decided to let the Third Prince bring a group of people into the Imperial City through the secret passage.
Originally, the Eldest Princess wanted to make amends and personally bring everyone through the secret passage.
She had a good excuse, which was that the secret passage was very complicated and only she knew how to get there!
Unfortunately, her last hope was extinguished.
Luo Cheng didn’t trust the Eldest Princess, so he let Wu Qinghe follow Ling Heng to the secret passage.
With Wu Qinghe following the Third Prince, there was naturally no need for the Eldest Princess.
After all, Wu Qinghe’s ability to identify routes was something others didn’t have.
In the end, with Wu Qinghe’s help, Ling Heng led his men into the royal family.
Most people followed Ling Heng to kill King Fu, while a small number of people quietly went to the city wall and opened the city gate from the inside.
After the city gate was opened and the army entered, the soldiers who were clearing the way in front shouted, “Everyone, stay at home for your safety!
Hurry up and go home!”
When the surrounding commoners heard this, they quickly returned home and listened to the commotion outside.
Just like that, the capital was invaded and the army attacked the imperial city. Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue didn’t follow this time. Instead, they returned to the
cave.
Now, Luo Cheng, the Third Prince, Ling Heng, and the others were doing big things, but Li Xiaoran couldn’t help much. She could only hide in a safe place and wait for good news!
Li Xiaoran actually began to plow the ground and plant vegetables in the cave!
“You just can’t stay idle, can you?! You won’t be able to eat the vegetables planted in this cave!” Shu Ruyue teased.
“I know. People who come here in the future can eat it! The key is that I’m enjoying the process of planting vegetables, not the results!” Li Xiaoran said as she watered the plants.
The Eldest Princess’s internal energy had already been crippled and she had been forced to take the Soft Tendon Powder. At this moment, she was also locked in the cave.
Although they were locked in the cave, they could see Li Xiaoran planting vegetables there.
“No wonder you and Luo Cheng are so compatible. It turns out that the two of you have the same pursuit! Do you know that you’re dragging your man down?
Your man can become the emperor, but you want him to be a local overlord. How unfair!” The Eldest Princess tried to sow discord.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
After calmly pouring the last bit of water, Li Xiaoran washed her hands and came to the Eldest Princess.
“You’re not us, so you don’t understand what we’re thinking! In your opinion, we’re very stupid to give up the throne. But in our opinion, we’re more willing to live a peaceful life! Eldest Princess, just because you’re ambitious doesn’t mean that others are too. Everyone’s views and thoughts are different, so you don’t understand us at all!”
With that, Li Xiaoran left.
It was a waste of breath to talk to someone with different values, so Li Xiaoran decided not to talk to her anymore.
In the cave, they waited for ten days.
Ten days later, Luo Cheng finally returned!
The time the couple met felt like a lifetime ago.
“Have you settled the matters outside?” Li Xiaoran walked forward and asked.
Luo Cheng nodded and hugged Li Xiaoran.
“Everything has been resolved. I’m a little tired, so let me rest first! Third
Brother has already moved into the royal family. I came back to see you! ”
When Li Xiaoran saw Luo Cheng’s tired expression, she nodded. Then, she asked someone to send a bowl of soup noodles over and fetched hot water for Luo Cheng to clean his body. After Luo Cheng ate, he went to sleep.
When Luo Cheng woke up again, it was already dark outside the cave.
In the cave, candles were lit and a fire burned.
After sitting up, Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran adding firewood to the fire with tongs.
“What’s cooking in the pot? It smells so good!” Luo Cheng asked curiously.
When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s voice, she turned around and said with a smile, “Zi Cheng hunted a deer in the mountains and brought it back. I’ll make a pot of sauce now so we can eat braised meat hotpot later!”
“No wonder I smelled spicy food! That’s great. I haven’t had a good meal in a long while!” Luo Cheng walked over and sat beside Li Xiaoran as he asked, “Have the others eaten yet?”
“We were all waiting for you to wake up and eat it together!” Li Xiaoran said, “The ingredients are almost ready. We’ll distribute them to a few pots later and add some bone soup.. Then, we can eat venison hotpot together!”
