Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuoming was not unconcerned about Xiao Zuochen's escape, but he just felt helpless. Although he had ordered all checkpoints to be strictly guarded and carefully checked, he knew that with Xiao Zuochen's ability, he would be able to successfully escape back to Wangyan City. Those imperial decrees were just pale words to comfort himself.

When Xiao Zuoming thought of Wangyan City, he suddenly thought of Wei Yang. Yes! He could find Wei Yang!

"Mu Dai, grind some ink for me. I need to write a letter to City Lord Wei!"

......

the other side--

A few days later, Xiao Zuochen and others finally returned to Wangyan City overnight. Wei Yang was already ready to welcome him at the city gate.

Although the emperor has announced that Prince Yun fled the palace without permission and failed to show filial piety to the late emperor, his crimes are extremely serious. But for the people of Wangyan City, Prince Yun's return to Wangyan City is something they all look forward to, and they have long been dissatisfied with the current emperor's rule. Although Xiao Zuoming has not done anything excessive, in terms of talent and ability, he is no match for Prince Yun. Now that Prince Yun is back, Wangyan City can finally be free from the emperor's control.

At first, Xiao Zuochen just thought that with his prestige in Wangyan City, his escape back to Wangyan City should not cause dissatisfaction among the people, and the people of Wangyan City should not refuse him entry. But he never expected that Wangyan City would actually decorate the city with lights and colors to welcome him back, which made him feel flattered.

"Master, look! Lord Wei Cheng is standing on the city wall!"

They had just arrived outside the city. It was already dark, but the torches on the city wall still illuminated the surroundings. Wei Yang stood on the city wall, and behind her were the fireworks that the people set off to celebrate the return of King Yun. The firework exploded behind her, making Wei Yang look peaceful and beautiful.

Yun Feng saw Wei Yang and loudly reminded his master through the curtain. Xiao Zuochen lifted the curtain and looked up. Wei Yang was standing on the city wall, smiling and waving at him. Xiao Zuochen also looked at her with a smile and nodded in response.

"She still misses you~"

Concubine Yun, who had been silent in the car, suddenly spoke with a hint of ridicule in her tone. Yu Zai, who was standing by, saw the look Wei Yang gave Xiao Zuochen and realized what Concubine Yun meant, and couldn't help but laugh. Only Xiao Zuochen had a normal expression and didn't respond to them.

Although he vaguely felt that there was something strange about his engagement with Wei Yang, he always treated Wei Yang as his own sister. He didn't want Wei Yang to have any other thoughts about him, nor did he want to think of Wei Yang in this way.

"Where are you going after this?"

Xiao Zuochen suddenly asked, and it was obvious that he was asking Concubine Yun and the others. They were also obviously surprised.

"What? Are you planning to abandon us when you get home? After all, I am also..."

Concubine Yun was speaking shamelessly, but was suddenly interrupted by Xiao Zuochen.

"I have already taken you away from the palace as promised. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. But my suggestion is that you should not stay in Wangyan City, because staying here may cause conflicts between us. If conflicts arise at that time, I will not keep you."

After hearing this, Concubine Yun couldn't help but sneer.

"Are you worried that I will steal your limelight again? Don't worry, my martial arts are all useless now, and there is no way I can compete with you for who is the master. Why don't you take us back? I have many old acquaintances in Wangyan City, and maybe I can help you with something."

"No need. You will only cause trouble if you stay with me."

After hearing this, Concubine Yun shrugged at Yu, indicating that she could not persuade him and there was nothing more to say. Yu glanced at Xiao Zuochen and also spoke.

"What about the agreement between General Bai and me?"

Yu said that she had agreed with General Bai that if General Bai helped them leave the palace, she would tell General Bai about Bai Qingning. Although they had left, they had not told them how to contact General Bai. She was also a trustworthy person. Since they had agreed on the terms, she would naturally abide by the agreement.

"It doesn't matter. You can tell me the news about Bai Qingning now, and I will pass it on to General Bai later."

Yu looked at Xiao Zuochen and smiled, then spoke righteously.

"Isn't this bad? After all, I promised General Bai, not you. It would be better for me to talk to General Bai personally about this.

But there is a problem. I don't have a place to stay in Wangyan City. If I accidentally starve to death on the street, the news will not reach General Bai's ears. Although this matter is not important to you, Prince Yun, at least General Bai helped you escape from the palace. You can't just ignore General Bai, right?"

Xiao Zuochen was speechless after hearing Yu's words, but as she said, he couldn't just ignore General Bai, so he had no choice but to speak.

"In that case, I will ask City Lord Wei to let you two stay in the mansion. But let me make it clear first, you are not guests in the City Lord's mansion. No one will serve you. You will do what you are supposed to do by yourself when the time comes."

"Don't worry, we understand. We will just stay in our room and not run around!"

After Yu finished speaking, he looked at Concubine Yun, and then they both smiled, with expressions as if something bad had been accomplished.

Xiao Zuochen shook his head helplessly. Women are really hard to deal with.

So the group entered the city amid the cheers of the people.

"You are really popular~"

Concubine Yun looked at the crowds outside the car and complained.

Wei Yang held a welcoming banquet for them at the brothel. Although brothels were places of prostitution, those in Wangyan City were more elegant than their peers. Moreover, the entire Wangyan City knew that the brothel was the property of King Yun, and no one dared to cause trouble there. Therefore, many women who were exiled because of family bankruptcy or family crimes would eventually come here to make a living.

At this time, there were three tables of wine and meat in the largest private room of the brothel.

"Ah Chen, today I took the initiative to hold a welcoming banquet for you in Hualou. I hope you won't blame me. I will drink this cup first as a sign of respect. I wish you all a safe and smooth life in the future!"

Wei Yang was the first to raise her glass to "punish herself", but how could Xiao Zuochen have the heart to blame her? After some pushing and pulling, everyone talked about who had made the greatest contribution this time, and then began to enjoy the food.

Xiao Zuochen also told Wei Yang about the situation of Concubine Yun and Yu, and Wei Yang had no complaints about it.

"It's just two more mouths to feed, no problem~ But you still have to let them leave your side. If you keep them with you all the time, I'm afraid Mr. Ying will have objections."

Xiao Zuochen nodded. Mr. Ying already bore a grudge against Concubine Yun, and Mr. Ying had done him a favor. He couldn't let Mr. Ying and Concubine Yun meet. There must be a good solution to this matter.
