Jiang Zhanglin said, "They arrived in Liang City, had a meal at a restaurant, and then checked into an inn. They haven't done anything else."
Tang Jinghong, busy preparing to face the army of the Xia Sang Kingdom, had no time to deal with two dethroned princes. "Keep a close watch on them. Report immediately if there are any unusual movements."
"Yes, General."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier guarding the camp's gate came to report, "General, the second and third princes of the eastern border King are here requesting an audience."
Tang Jinghong thought for a moment, "Let them in."
"Yes." The two princes were soon brought into the camp. "Greetings, General Tang."
Tang Jinghong's gaze swept over them, his eyes sharp. "Why have you come to see me?"
Li Hongtang bowed and said, "General, we just want to see our father. He's old, and being confined like this must be hard on him. Could you show some mercy and release him?"
