Chapter 501: Just this?

After Prince Jin returned to the courtyard, he called Liang Mingyu over and gave him some instructions before bringing his men back to Northern City.

He even asked someone to ask Zhuo Zheng if he wanted to leave with him, but he turned it down.

Prince Jin had no objections. 

The benefits of his son staying by Shi Qingluo's side were greater than the cost, so he let him be.

When he returned to the Northern City, he would help to convince Zhuo Zheng's mother.

After he left, he was ambushed and assassinated on his way on the second day.

Fortunately, he had brought many people with him, and they were all experts. He had also had the dragon guards, the men of sacrifice left behind by the late emperor to escort him in secret. 

Otherwise, he would have been assassinated.

On the way, they were first met with a wave of arrows, and then encountered a trap dug along the way.

Then, waves of men of sacrifice appeared and ambushed them.
