Although Princess Chengyang went to the palace to confront Li Zhi, she could not save the current situation. After all, Jun Wu said no joke. Now even the imperial edict has been issued, and even posted notices in the city to inform the world, so it is impossible to take back the life.

Of course, Li Zhi also felt sorry for his sister, so he called Taiping over and scolded her in front of Princess Chengyang, but it still couldn't change the final result.

Although Zhang Zong had known this would be the case, when he heard the above with his own ears, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Princess Chengyang saw his frustration and comforted him for a long time.

Speaking of which, Princess Chengyang is still very calm. After all, she is old and has experienced a lot of things. Since the current situation is irreversible, she can only accept it silently.

Zhang Zong actually knew that what Princess Chengyang said made sense, but she was still a little unacceptable in terms of feelings. Of course, he did not show it either. After all, he had decided to take Ning'er to elope, so after a few perfunctory words, he took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye to leave, because he wanted to go back and calm down.

Princess Chengyang sighed when she heard this, but in the end she didn't say anything else. Instead, she asked someone to send Zhang Zong away. Ning'er was already crying in her arms, so she couldn't leave at all.

Zhang Zong stood up silently and looked at Ning'er reluctantly when he left. The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes, but in the end, Zhang Zong gritted his teeth and turned around and left.

However, just as Zhang Zong came to the front yard and was about to walk out of the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, Xue Shao suddenly caught up with him panting and said, "Brother Shi... Brother Shi stay!"

"Sanlang, why are you here?" Zhang Zong immediately asked when he saw Xue Shao chasing him.

"I'm not worried about Brother Shi, so I'd better send Brother Shi back in person!" Xue Shao said with a few breaths.

"I'm fine, you'd better go back. Ning'er needs someone to take care of her." Zhang Zong waved his hand and said when he heard this.

"I have my mother there, it's definitely okay. I'll take you back!" Xue Shao pulled Zhang Zong away without saying anything, which made him unable to refuse, so he had to get on the carriage with Xue Shao.

On the way back, Zhang Zong was thinking about his thoughts, and Xue Shao rarely made a sound, which made the atmosphere in the carriage look very dull. When the carriage finally arrived at home, Xue Shao was the first to jump off and then accompanied Zhang Zong into the house.

It was already dark at this time. Although Wan'er was very worried about Zhang Zong, she still prepared supper. When she saw Zhang Zong coming back, she finally felt relieved and hurriedly delivered the supper to the table.

But Zhang Zong was not in the mood to have dinner at this time. He returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, and passed on what happened today in his mind. He was happily preparing for the marriage proposal in the morning, but in the afternoon he made a turnaround. Not only could he not get married to the woman he liked, but he wanted to marry a woman he hated. The ups and downs of life were too fast.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh, but then his face also showed a firm look. He was unwilling to marry Taiping, a vicious woman. If it weren't for her, she and Ning'er wouldn't have been separated. Even Zhang Zong couldn't understand why she did this. Does she really like to steal Ning'er's things, and even her husband would have to steal them from her?

Thinking of Taiping, Zhang Zong became more and more angry the more he thought about it. However, in the end he forced himself to calm down. After all, now is not the time to get angry, but to plan how to escape from the capital with Ning'er. This is the first step, and it is also necessary to ensure that after escaping from the capital, he will not be caught. This is the second step, and in the end he has to find a place to live in seclusion and not be discovered. This is the third step.

The entire plan is divided into three steps. Although it seems simple, it is not easy to implement. After all, Zhang Zong is not an unknown person. He is now the confidant of Prince Li Hong. He usually has many eyes staring at him. Now he has become the new prince consort, which makes him stand on the cusp of the Chang'an City for a while.

It can be said that in this case, it is difficult to sneak out of the city quietly without knowing it, let alone bringing Ning'er, which increases the difficulty a lot.

However, it is not completely impossible. Zhang Zong had a legitimate reason to leave the city, because now the corn and potatoes are about to mature. In addition to the corn and potatoes in Furong Garden, he also planted a lot of corn and potatoes outside the city, and they were scattered in various places outside the city. Only he himself knew the specific location, and he needed to collect them himself.

"By taking advantage of the opportunity to harvest corn and potatoes, I can leave the city. At that time, Ning'er can find a reason to leave the city and take her away from the capital. But where should I go and which route should I take?" Zhang Zong said in a low voice again.

Now Zhang Zong needs to choose a destination, not because he intends to live in seclusion there in the future, but because he wants to make people unable to think of where he will go, and it is convenient for him to go to other places through it. Therefore, this destination is also very important. Only by choosing this destination can he determine the next route to escape.

"Luoyang is definitely not possible. Although it is well-connected, it is the capital of the court and may be caught back at any time!" Zhang Zong was the first to deny Luoyang.

In fact, in Zhang Zong's heart, he felt that it was safer to escape to the south to live in seclusion. After all, the political, economic and cultural centers of the Tang Dynasty were in the north, and their rule over the south was relatively weak. Unlike later generations, there were many places in the south that were not developed in this era, so as long as he could escape to the south, he would hardly have to worry about being found.

"Since you are going to the south, your hometown is Xiangzhou, which is a good direction. Unfortunately, the court will definitely send people to investigate the direction of Xiangzhou, so this road is not possible!" Zhang Zong said to himself again. His hometown is in Xiangzhou, and his uncle Zhang Jianzhi and others have been living there. If he goes there, he will get a lot of care, but unfortunately this road is also not feasible.

"Since the east and south sides cannot connect, then go the opposite way and go directly to the west!" Zhang Zong suddenly said at this time, because he suddenly thought that countless Hu merchants set out from Chang'an every day in the Tang Dynasty and headed west along the Silk Road. He could dress up like Hu merchants and leave Chang'an. I guess no one would think that he would run west.
