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

"Oh~~~ So those people are bandits. I thought Third Prince chose to get on our carriage because he was afraid that those people would recognize you. Since they are bandits, it should be okay. A few days have passed and those people are not chasing us. Third Prince doesn't have to worry. Otherwise, you should go riding a horse. The carriage is so small that it really doesn't need to fit in..." Leng Youran deliberately said with difficulty.

The Third Prince was stunned by her words and looked back at the large carriage.

Not to mention that there are only three of them in the car now, even if he calls his people outside and Uncle Li and the others in, there will still be room for them to sit here.

What Leng Youran said was exactly the same as the lies he told!

"Okay, okay, let me tell you about what happened to Xihu this time!"

He knew that if he didn't tell them something, these two would not give up.

Since that’s the case, Xihu’s affairs are no secret anyway, so it’s better to talk about the scandals of other countries.

It's better than letting them know about the dirty deeds happening in the northern border.

"Oh? What happened to Xihu?" Leng Youran pretended not to know.

They still knew that Xihu had replaced the new emperor, but this matter had little to do with them.

In their hearts, they have long regarded these countries as opponents.

Even if it's not now, he will fall into Qin Zhaohai's hands sooner or later and become their opponent. They really don't care about this at all.

But they still like to listen to it for fun.

"Let me tell you, this trip to Xihu was truly thrilling. You wouldn't believe it..."

When talking about other people's affairs, the Third Prince's eyes lit up.

He narrated the events of the banquet at Xihu Palace in a vivid and moving manner.

"You mean, there were several similar people at the Xihu Palace banquet?"

"Yes, that's right. The uncle of the King of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Crown Prince of the Southern Land, and the Patriarch of the Zhao Family in Xihu. Even the new Queen Mother in Xihu bears a resemblance to them."

When he said this, his tone unconsciously became heavier, perhaps because he spoke too fast and didn't even notice it.

Li Tianze and Leng Youran sensed it keenly.

But they didn't ask any further questions.

They already had a rough idea from his words.

Judging from what he said, these people are probably closely related to Qin Zhaohai.

"Oh, by the way, you just said that when you were returning to the city, you encountered people who wanted to kill Prince Zhao. What happened to those people?"

The Third Prince shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. We just watched from a distance." He also sensed the danger at that time and had no time to care about other people's affairs.

But he didn't say the rest of the words. It's better to say less about that person!

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other and said nothing.

Next, the Third Prince experienced the joy of riding in a carriage for the first time. No one chased him around asking him questions all afternoon.

He was still thinking to himself that he was really smart. By throwing out a melon, he could keep his melon.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze tacitly agreed not to expose his little thoughts.

In fact, the two of them had already sorted out most of the things, and they had roughly guessed who the assassin was.

After all, he never mentioned the Sixth Prince who went to Xihu with him along the way.

Even when he talked about coming out of Xihu, he did not mention where the man went.

The Third Prince had no idea that his little secret had been discovered, and he was still enjoying the scenery outside.

In autumn and winter, the outside is no longer as green as it was a few months ago, but autumn has its own beauty.

It was afternoon, and the western sky was filled with crimson sunset glow. The afterglow passed through the distant mountains and fell on the river on both sides of the road. A breeze blew, and golden waves rippled on the lake.

Leng Youran stretched his hand out of the carriage window, feeling the residual heat from the sun, and took a deep breath.

The air is filled with sweetness.

Close your eyes slightly and feel the rare leisure time.

"Do you want to rest here for a night?" Li Tianze gathered her cloak and covered her slightly bulging belly tightly.

"Well, sure, there's a stream here, we can catch some fish..."

"Okay, okay, I'm a professional fisherman. Let me prepare a fish banquet for you today." The Third Prince volunteered immediately after hearing the conversation between the two.

They had been eating dry food for several days in a row, and he had been craving for it for a long time.

The three carriages slowly stopped.

Leng Youran also got off the carriage with the help of Li Tianze.

This time they took the official road, which was wide and had many wild trees on both sides of the road besides the river.

The leaves turned yellow and fell down when the wind blew.

Li Tianze took out a square stool from the carriage, padded it with thick animal fur, and helped Leng Youran sit under a big tree nearby.

Uncle Li and the others began to set up the tent, while the Third Prince rolled up his sleeves and went to the river with two guards.

"hiss...."

From time to time, a few people made a few hissing sounds.

Even the cold river water could not dampen their enthusiasm.

The Third Prince was like a naughty old boy, laughing out loud from time to time because he caught a fish.

"He is quite interesting. I just wonder if the Emperor of Northern Frontier is the same as him." Leng Youran rested his head on Li Tianze's shoulder and murmured softly.

"It should be good, otherwise the Third Prince wouldn't have made the long journey to North City."

"So, can we form an alliance?"

Li Tianze did not answer her. He understood what she was thinking, but Beicheng was now an independent small country. It might be an ally for a while, but he couldn't trust anyone completely.

No one can say for sure what choice the Northern Frontier Emperor will make after everything is settled.

"Youyou, do you still want to expand North City?"

Leng Youran was stunned by his question. Did she want to?

To be honest, she didn't think about it.

Although it was once predicted that she would cause chaos everywhere.

But she knew that her ambition was just to make her family safe and happy.

If there were other places that threatened their families, she might think of eradicating them, but she never thought of asking her to start a war.

"how?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask. The area we're walking through now belongs entirely to Liaodong. You should have noticed that along the way, except for a few houses on both sides of the official road, the rest of the place is empty. I thought you would regret wasting these places..."

After hearing what he said, Leng Youran raised her head and looked around them.

Just as Li Tianze said, this place was extremely deserted, with only a few scattered households about ten miles away from them.

Such scenes can be seen everywhere along the way.

"You mean, when we go to Northern Frontier this time, we can discuss the ownership of this place with the Emperor of Northern Frontier?"
