He only hoped that his grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers in heaven would protect Shen Qingzhu and the Huying Camp in rescuing Xiao Jiu!

Li Zhijie respectfully saw the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom onto the carriage, then turned to Bai Qingyan with a smile, saying, “I didn’t expect that General Bai would not only be excellent in battles but also be sharp-tongued!”

“Whether it is in battle or verbally, it’s all for the benefit of the country.” Bai Qingyan finished speaking, clasped his fists toward Li Zhijie, and leaped onto his horse.

Li Zhijie clasped his hands, his aristocratic demeanor lightly bowing toward Bai Qingyan, “With this alliance signed, I, along with the Princess of Pingyang, the Crown Prince, and General Bai, will proceed to Dadu. I ask General Bai to look after us along the way.”

“King Yan is too kind.”

Watching the Jin peace envoy leave, Li Zhijie finally showed a fatigued expression.

He retracted his smile, squinting his eyes, recalling the peace negotiations earlier. Although Bai Qingyan had been mostly silent, he spoke up at critical moments, greatly boosting Jin Kingdom’s confidence. This allowed Liu Rushi, the Jin envoy, to set such high conditions.

Lu Tianzhuo was right. Bai Qingyan indeed could not be left alive!

Pity… such a stunning beauty with a proud bone. If not for Xiliang, he truly couldn’t bear to see such a beauty die.

“Let’s go back!” Li Zhijie turned and walked toward the carriage, lowering his voice to Lu Tianzhuo, “We will follow the Crown Prince into Jin later. Be careful to hide that Bai family member well, and find out which child of the Bai family he is! Only then can we provide an explanation for General Bai, lure her in, and seize the opportunity to kill her.”

Lu Tianzhuo, who was following Li Zhijie, looked serious, “Prince, there is something suspicious about that maid today! When I counted the people, there was indeed a maid named Qianzhou missing. It would be best if you returned to Qiushan Pass quickly to prevent any actions by Jin Kingdom!”

“The alliance is already signed. Jin Kingdom has gained the upper hand; there won’t be any actions. Perhaps that maid Qianzhou is a Jin spy, taking this opportunity to return home! Investigate this maid thoroughly, see who she contacted, and learn what they know!” After saying this, Li Zhijie boarded the carriage.

“Yes!” Lu Tianzhuo bowed in acknowledgment.

Watching Li Zhijie’s carriage leave, Lu Tianzhuo took the reins from a servant’s hand. But before he could mount his horse, the personal maid of Li Tianfu, the Princess of Xiliang, rushed over. After saluting, she said, “Lord Lu, the Princess requests your presence for tea.”

Lu Tianzhuo tightened his grip on the reins, paused, and then handed them to the servant, “Yes!” _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

In the luxurious carriage of the Princess of Xiliang, Li Tianfu leaned leisurely against a cushion. She smiled at Lu Tianzhuo, who was brewing tea for her, and said, “I suppose that by the time I reach Jin’s capital in Dadu, my reputation as a domineering, ignorant fool who hates Jin will have spread throughout Dadu. We’ll see which noble of the Jin Imperial Family would be willing to marry me then! Then… I can return to Yunjing with you. I’ll have my sister confer a prince title upon me! You can come to my side then, and we will live as an immortal couple!”

Li Tianfu’s tone was playful and a bit smug. Perhaps because she was talking about their future, her eyes sparkled like water, filled with hope for the days to come.

The carriage’s glass lanterns swayed with each movement. Lu Tianzhuo was silent, his posture elegant and skilled as he brewed tea for Li Tianfu.
