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

She knew that Li Tianze was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense.

Since he said this, he must have a plan in mind.

"Why not? He was the one who invited us first and wanted to form an alliance with us. Wouldn't it be cheap of us to agree so easily?"

"Besides, now that we have the road through the Diejie Mountain, it's not difficult to develop this area. However, I wonder if the people of Liaodong will be as sensible as the people of Liangzhou."

Leng Youran lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before he said, "Aren't Li Yi and the others the best signboards this time?"

Li Tianze's eyes lit up, "You mean to let Li Yi and the others reveal that those things came from North City?"

"No, you don't need to go into such detail, but you can talk to them about the good things about North City."

She had just used her mental power to investigate. Although they had been walking for so long, they had actually been moving around the overlapping mountains.

If there were no overlapping mountains, it would indeed be much closer to the north from here.

Unfortunately, the overlapping mountains were no longer difficult to climb in their eyes.

"Now that you mention it, it seems that it is not impossible." Without the obstruction of the mountains, it would not be too difficult for them to manage Liaodong. Moreover, if this place really belonged to them, they would definitely find a way to bring the two drops together.

The Third Prince, who was still happily preparing a fish feast, had no idea that someone had already set their sights on their territory.

After a hearty meal, everyone unloaded their food early.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze also got into the carriage and then returned to the space.

The two of them told You Xian about their plans and what the Third Prince had said today.

You Xian agreed with their speculation, but he still said a few more words about their proposal to take Liaodong from the Emperor of Northern Frontier.

"I think you can make this decision later. Liaodong and Linnan are not far apart, and the Northern Frontier Emperor may not agree to cede Liaodong to you. He, like you, is also worried that you will retaliate after you succeed. But, this matter is not out of the question..."

"Master, what do you mean?"

You Xian approached the two of them and told them his thoughts.

The two nodded repeatedly.

When it comes to ginger, old is still spicy.

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The group finally arrived at the county town in Liaodong.

"Let's stay here tonight!" The Third Prince and his companions were obviously not as good as Uncle Li and his companions.

Actually, it’s not surprising, mainly because Uncle Li and the others drank the spiritual spring water given by Leng Youran.

The Third Prince and his entourage did not receive such treatment.

"Okay, now that we're on your turf, you can do whatever you want."

The Third Prince thought about it and agreed. Now it was Liaodong, so he naturally had to do his best to be a good host.

As soon as he reached the city gate, he threw the token in his arms out and said, "Go, find your prefect."

The soldier guarding the gate took a look at the token he handed over, his expression changed slightly, and he said something to the person next to him and trotted back to the city.

The Third Prince was still feeling smug and didn't notice anything unusual.

Li Tianze took a step back and helped Leng Youran back to the carriage.

"Is there any problem?" Leng Youran's eyes had been fixed on the city wall of Liaodong and he didn't notice the situation of the Third Prince and the others.

"Something weird."

Then Li Tianze whispered something to Uncle Li again, and then Uncle Li and the shadow guard who came with them jumped into their respective carriages without making a sound.

Only the Third Prince was still standing there with his hands clasped together, looking towards the city like an official.

Leng Youran lifted the curtain and whispered to Li Tianze, who was standing next to the carriage, "Should we tell him?"

"No, I don't know if I'm overthinking it..."

The reason he was suspicious was simply because of the attitude of the soldiers guarding the city towards the Third Prince.

Logically speaking, a soldier should be respectful when meeting someone of the Third Prince's status.

But that wasn't the case with those people.

Not only did he not even do a simple greeting.

This is not what a guard should do.

Leng Youran sat in the carriage, trying to use his mental strength to find the prefect's residence.

However, the buildings in the city were so complicated that she had no idea where to go when she first came.

She tried to look for the guard, but before she could find him, she heard voices outside the carriage.

"So it's the prince who has returned. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Leng Youran saw the appearance of the person who was speaking through the fluttering curtain of the carriage.

He was eight feet tall and did not look short even when standing in front of the Third Prince. His face was so white that he did not look like a person from the Northern Frontier.

"Forget it, go in first. These are the guests I invited. You must entertain them well tonight."

The Third Prince pointed behind him as he spoke without turning his head.

The white-faced prefect looked behind him and found no one else behind the Third Prince except three guards and three horses.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, the third prince also looked back.

Only then did they realize that Li Tianze and others were no longer behind them.

"Ahem, Master Li..."

Li Tianze took a step forward and smiled at the white-faced prefect.

The white-faced prefect's gaze fell on him and the several carriages behind him, and he clasped his fists towards Li Tianze with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"The guest has come from afar, so I will definitely entertain him well."

"You're welcome." Li Tianze also clasped his fists and said with a forced smile.

Only the Third Prince didn't notice the quarrel between the two men at all. He ordered the guards behind him: "Quick, lead Uncle Li and the others into the city."

The Sanming Municipal Party Committee clasped its fists, handed the horse in its hand to the city guard beside it, and walked towards Uncle Li and the others.

Uncle Li and the others didn't really let them drive. When Li Tianze turned around and signaled to them, he whispered something in the ears of the three of them.

The three of them paused for a moment, then disappeared.

"Let's go, brother Li." The third prince put his hand on Li Tianze's shoulder and walked towards the city with him as if they were good brothers.

The white-faced prefect wanted to get in but couldn't, so he could only walk behind the two of them and exchange glances with the several soldiers guarding the city beside him without saying a word.

One of them quietly stepped back.

Leng Youran saw all their little actions and just smiled.

"Ran'er, what happened outside?" You Xian was tending to the flowers in her garden in the yard when she saw her usual sword floating away from him.

"It's alright, Master."

Leng Youran didn't want to make others worry again.

"Don't hide it from me. In short, your own safety is the most important thing."

"Well, Master, don't worry, I won't act impulsively."

You Xian did not feel reassured by her words. He put down the kettle in his hand and walked to the exit of the space to observe the situation outside.

At this time, the group just happened to step into the prefectural government office.

The door of the mansion slammed shut as they all entered.
