Chapter 67 Enter the capital, you can't escape
"The pass is here!"

At this time, a deep voice was heard.

Li Mu walked to the front of the team, took out a token and handed it over.

The defender took it and looked at it, he was horrified and returned the token with both hands.

"My Lords, I apologize for the offense just now. Please come in."

The defender smiled apologetically and bent over 90 degrees until the convoy disappeared, then he straightened up.

“Who gave them the authority to let them go?”

Suddenly, a low voice sounded.

The defenders looked up and fell to their knees in fear when they saw the person in front of them.

"Shen, Commander Shen!"

The defenders' voices were trembling.

In the Northern Qi Dynasty, from the common people to the officials in the court, no one was not afraid of the heavy burden.

"I'm asking you a question. Who told you to let that person go without permission?" Shen Zhong's voice rose slightly.

"Reply, reply to Lord Shen, they have the Saint's badge as proof, I dare not stop them!"

The defenders answered haltingly.

Shen Zhong frowned, glanced at the defenders coldly, and left quickly.

At this moment, inside the carriage.

Li Chengping played with the badge on his waist and looked at Haitang Duoduo with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to help, but I'm really disappointed that Shen Zhong would use such a cheap method."

"Shen Zhong is Shen Zhong, and it has nothing to do with me. You have already entered the city, can you return the badge to me?"

Haitang Duoduo had a gloomy face.

What do you mean she offered to help? It was obvious that this guy took her token away.

As the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, when has she ever suffered such humiliation!

"Don't worry, I'll lend it to you for a while, and I'll return it to you when I leave."

Li Chengping smiled faintly and handed the badge back to Wei Zhuang.

"Notify everyone and have Yan Xiaoyi book the largest inn in Beiqi City. The Saint will pay for it."

"What do you mean? We in Northern Qi have arranged accommodation for your delegation!"

Haitang Duoduo's face was full of anger.

He took the token and did whatever he wanted. He really treated her as a fool!

"I'm not confident in the place you arranged. It's more comfortable to stay in an inn. You are a wealthy family in Northern Qi, do you still care about this little money?"

Li Chengping didn't care.

Haitang Duoduo was so angry that she felt like spitting fire. Beiqi didn't care about this little money, but she did!

Unfortunately, resistance was futile.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the inn.

Seeing a big customer coming, the shopkeeper went out to greet him with a smile: "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

"Stay in the hotel. We have booked this inn!"

Rich people!

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and his attitude became even more respectful.

"Sir, it costs a lot of money to rent an inn. How about paying a deposit first?"

Wei Zhuang glanced at him coldly, then raised his hand and slapped the Saint's token into the shopkeeper's hand.

"Put it on her account!"

Holy Maiden's Order!!

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask for the deposit or anything like that. He quickly asked everyone to go to the backyard.

"Sir, if you need anything, please let me know at any time."

The shopkeeper handed over the token with both hands, bent over and hurried away.

Wei Zhuang directly dismissed the servants in the courtyard, and waited until everyone left, and Li Chengping and others got off the carriage one by one.

"Untie them." Li Chengping waved his hand.

Yan Xiaoyi's expression changed: "Your Highness, what if the person runs away?"

"Don't worry, they won't leave, and they can't run away." Li Chengping looked confident. With Wei Zhuang here, it would be useless even if Ku He came in person.

Having said that, Yan Xiaoyi had nothing more to say. He untied the two men and kept them in separate rooms.

In order to prevent people from escaping, he specially arranged a few more people to guard the place.

After so many days of tossing and turning, Li Chengping finally got to bed and fell asleep quickly.

Si Lili had no intention of sleeping and went straight to the room where Haitang Duoduo was imprisoned.

The soldiers knew her identity and did not dare to stop her. They opened the door and let her in, but only notified Yan Xiaoyi privately.

inside the room.

Haitang Duoduo lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Hearing some movement at the door, she sat up from the bed and was surprised to see that it was Si Lili coming in.

"Lili, why are you here?"

"I came to see you, just in case you're upset." Si Lili smiled.

She had known the other party before in the Northern Qi royal family and they had a pretty good relationship.

I was afraid of disturbing Li Chengping from reading in the carriage before, so it was inconvenient to talk to him. Now I finally have the opportunity.

"I'm fine. What do you think? Why did you submit to Li Chengping? He must have forced you to do that, right?"

The Begonias are full of promises.

Si Lili smiled faintly, and tenderness inadvertently revealed in her eyes.

"Duoduo, Your Highness didn't force me to stay. I wanted to stay of my own accord. The days of living in fear are too tiring. I just want to live a peaceful life."

Haitang Duoduo was stunned for a moment. Is this still the friend who shouted for revenge?
"Li Li, what about your original oath?"

Si Lili was silent for a moment and slowly raised her head.

"Duoduo, this is how power struggles are. Now that you've entered the game, you have to be prepared, right?"

Haitang Duoduo didn't know what to say for a moment.

She is no longer the naive self she used to be. After so many years in Northern Qi, she naturally understands the cruelty of court struggles.

Although there seems to be no smoke of gunpowder, the struggle is actually extremely cruel.

"Even if you want to live a peaceful life, you shouldn't choose Li Chengping."

"The struggle within the royal family is cruel. For the Qing Kingdom, shouldn't the crown prince and Li Chengze be the ones who have the best chance of inheriting the throne?"

"Now that he has entered the game, if he fails to seize the throne in the future, you should know the consequences!"

"For now, you should leave him as soon as possible before anything happens!"

Haitang Duoduo looked worried.

The royal fight never ends well, and she doesn't want her friend to get sucked into it.

Si Lili smiled, her charming eyes revealing unparalleled wisdom.

"Your Highness is a very mysterious person. I remember he once said, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.'"

"The outcome is not yet determined, and it is still unknown who will win."

"Just like this trip north, the royal family tried their best to stop Sean from returning to Beijing, but now he has arrived in the capital safely."

It sounds harsh, but it is the truth.

Haitang Duoduo fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Along the way, she was observing Li Chengping.

Although he was holding a book and reading it, he exuded calmness from beginning to end, and there was often a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under control.

"By the way, Duoduo, I want to ask you something. Do you know the whereabouts of my brother?" Si Lili's eyes showed anticipation.

This was her purpose for talking to Haitang Duoduo for so long.

"The child who followed you at the beginning? After you left, it seems that he was sent out of the palace by the royal family. I am not sure about the details."

Haitang Duoduo frowned.

She has been busy practicing these years and has never cared about this matter.

Si Lili was not only a little disappointed, but also reminded others before leaving.

"Duoduo, the people around His Highness are very powerful. You can't escape. Don't be stupid."

Si Lili got up and left, leaving Haitang Duoduo sitting alone at the table, silent for a long time.
