Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Huo Tong only sent ten people to the city gate, and they haven't come back yet. She was afraid that something unexpected might have happened, so she felt uneasy if she didn't go to check on them.

She had just taken two steps when she ran into Li Tianze.

Before I could be surprised, I saw that he was holding a man who looked like a soldier in his hand.

"Are you going to the city gate? If that's the place, there's no need to go. All the people there have been dealt with. Only this one tried to pretend to be dead and escape, so I brought him here."

Li Tianze threw the soldier in his hand to the ground, and the man screamed in pain.

Leng Youran didn't know why he suddenly appeared at the city gate, but she understood his intention to capture someone.

The reason they caught him was that he must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped in such a hurry.

He unsheathed the golden sword in his hand, and pointed the tip at the man's throat. "Tell me, do you want to call for help?"

The man's eyes were filled with fear. He first shook his head, then nodded.

"Zhu Dazhi still has someone else? Who is he and where is he?"

The soldier pointed tremblingly outside the city, "Over there, sir, please spare my life. I was only following orders."

Leng Youran sneered and moved his body to let the man take a look at the situation in the yard.

The man was wondering why she was like this when he saw corpses all over the yard. Many people were stabbing with swords those who were lying motionless on the ground.

"Take us there..."

The man nodded repeatedly when he saw the tragic scene in the yard.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all, and he didn't want to die and have his body stabbed with a sword.

Leng Youran called out to Huo Tong in the yard, then he, Li Tianze, and Leng Yuyang carried the man and flew towards the city gate.

On the way, Leng Youran asked Li Tianze beside him, "You appeared at the city gate. Have the people been settled?"

"Well, they've been settled. Li Yi has already found a place to house them." He didn't expect that there were only so few people left in the north.

And they are all skinny.

If they weren't still breathing, he would have thought those people were dead.

Leng Yuyang didn't know why his mood suddenly became low, but Leng Youran knew.

This is also the reason why she deliberately sent people to keep an eye on the people.

Not only was she afraid that the people would be used as shields by those who escaped from the governor's mansion, she was also afraid that the people would be so frightened by the great changes in the city that they would decide to commit suicide.

"Brother, send someone to the rich businessman's mansion to get some food, and have someone deliver it to Li Yi and the others." After thinking about it, Leng Youran said.

Leng Yuyang had never seen those people and was unaware of their miserable plight, nor did he understand why Leng Youran suddenly gave such an order, but he still listened to his younger sister's words and was about to turn around and leave.

Then Li Tianze said, "When I left, Li Yi had already taken people to find food and bedding. Don't worry, nothing will happen to them."

Leng Youran nodded without saying anything.

Leng Yuyang didn't know why the two were so worried about the people. He approached Li Tianze with some surprise and asked, "Didn't the people have any food and bedding when you took them away?"

Li Tianze shook his head, "You'll know when you see him tomorrow."

Leng Yuyang had a vague suspicion in his heart. Could it be that the people in the north were really as miserable as the rumors said?

It’s no wonder that he didn’t think about the people’s situation. After all, he went to the rich businessman’s mansion. All the ladies and girls he captured, and even the servants, were beaming with joy.

When the three men arrived at the city wall carrying the people, they saw her men dealing with the corpses. From their inspections with swords one by one, they were sure that there were no other survivors.

One of them saw them coming and flew to Leng Youran's side, lowering his head and not daring to look at her, "Master."

"What's wrong? Wasn't this handled well?"

The man raised his head and quietly looked at Li Tianze before saying, "If it weren't for Prince Li, our situation wouldn't have ended so quickly, and there might even be more trouble."

Leng Youran glanced sideways at Li Tianze.

Li Tianze: "Not really. When I came here, they had already occupied the city wall. It's just that no one knew there was a secret passage underneath the wall. They realized something was wrong and were about to attack from behind, but I happened to come over and took care of it."

Leng Youran was a little unconvinced and glanced at him.

Li Tianze felt uneasy when she looked at him, and he coughed twice. "Well, when I came here, I suddenly remembered that almost every city has such a secret passage, so I thought of coming to take a look. I didn't mean to not tell you in advance, I just forgot."

Seeing his sincerity, Leng Youran stopped caring and said, "Thank you very much."

"That's too polite. Taking over the Northland is not just your job."

Leng Youran smiled faintly and didn't continue talking to him. Instead, she looked at the secret guard and said, "Don't blame yourself. It was my fault for not thinking it through. I'm glad you're all okay. Once we're done with this, I'll send someone to notify Huo Tong to take over."

"Yes, master." The secret guard clasped his fists.

Li Tianze was a little puzzled when he saw that Leng Youran had arranged everything here but did not ask anyone to find Huo Tong and others.

"Shouldn't we go over there and take a look?"

The person over there was naturally the one that the little soldier had just mentioned, Zhu Dazhi, was keeping outside.

Leng Youran raised the corner of his mouth, "Let's go."

When Li Tianze saw her like this, he knew that she must have a plan in mind, and his eyes lingered on Leng Yuyang for a moment.

Leng Yuyang was bewildered by his gaze, but Leng Youran understood what he meant, "My brother knows."

Li Tianze understood.

Leng Yuyang was stunned.

Then he thought of something and looked at Leng Youran and Li Tianze in astonishment, "He, he knows too?"

Leng Youran did not hide it, "Yes, I know."

Leng Yuyang......

Doesn’t it make me feel sad?

Li Tianze actually knew my younger sister's secret.

This made him, as a brother, feel really uncomfortable.

Moreover, it seems that Li Tianze knew it earlier than him.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, and I thought of my younger sister's nonsensical words on New Year's Eve.

So that’s what it means.

It seems that the grand fireworks show was not prepared by my younger sister for them at all.

All this is because of that brat Li Tianze.

After realizing this, his gaze towards Li Tianze became gloomy, as if he wanted to eat him.

Li Tianze, who had been staring at Leng Youran, felt someone staring at his back. Following the gaze, he saw Leng Yuyang staring at him with a murderous look.

Li Tianze???

"Yuyang, what's wrong with you?" Although he didn't understand why he looked at him like that, he still asked with concern.

Leng Yuyang turned his head away, "Hmph..."

Leng Youran was also surprised to hear his cold snort, "Brother, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you're not feeling well, why don't you stay away and go back to rest for a while?"

Leng Youran was purely concerned, but to Leng Yuyang it sounded as if his younger sister was deliberately trying to get him away.
