The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

The heavily guarded soldiers at the city gate conducted a thorough inspection, and only after Emperor Beizun slowly lifted the carriage curtain and coldly glanced at them did they respectfully allow them to pass...

'Click-click—'

The heavy city gate slowly opened, and soon it was fully open.

"Respectfully seeing off His Highness the Northern Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

The guards at the city gate bowed respectfully to greet and see off Emperor Beizun, whose entourage slowly made its way towards the city gate. However, it was at this moment—

'Da Da!'

Boom! Boom!

The thunderous sound of galloping hooves came like a clap of thunder. Before anyone could react, a large group of people, led by Xing Qitian and Ji Wuge, spurred their horses and charged towards the city gate.

"The city gates are open! Charge out immediately! Hurry!"

Ji Wuge charged out on his horse with overwhelming momentum, like a dragon crossing a river. The guards at the city gate had no time to react. By the time they realized what was happening, Xing Qitian and Ji Wuge had already rushed out of the city gate. The swift blades they wielded made the guards afraid to approach, fearing that a single blow would hit their heads.

As they passed by Teihoku Tsutomu's carriage, Koki Ten unexpectedly saw Teihoku Tsutomu about to lower the curtain, and was quite surprised—

Could it be that Emperor Beizun opened the city gates?

With Di Beizun's intelligence, he should have foreseen what would happen today, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed to watch the show. So why is he here now?

Could he be the person Sikong Jin was talking about, the one who would help her?

But why would he do that?

However, before they could think too much, a guard of several thousand men rushed past in a flash. The guards at the city gate didn't understand what was happening and didn't dare to stop them.

Could they interpret this as His Highness Prince Duan escorting His Highness Crown Prince Dibei out of the city?

The whole thing went incredibly smoothly!

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the drizzling rain became quite heavy, plunging the entire world into a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.

However, unseen by anyone, just as Xing Qitian's guards were speeding past, a small black shadow streaked across the night sky like a ghost and darted into Di Beizun's carriage like lightning.

By the time Feng Yang realized what was happening, the dark figure had already slipped into the carriage. He didn't dare to go forward to ask anything, because he had clearly seen what the person looked like—

Sikong Jin!

Inside the carriage, Di Beizun stared indifferently at Sikong Jin, who had changed into a black cloak. He remained silent, his unpredictable gaze meeting Sikong Jin's clear, cold eyes.

"Protect me out of the city, and I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

Sikong Jin lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Given the current situation, it's best not to expose them. There are still countless dangers lurking outside the city. She must secretly escort them safely through the first and second lines of defense. Otherwise, even if they manage to escape, they will likely return to Hangu City severely injured!

Di Beizun did not answer. His gaze towards Sikong Jin changed several times before finally settling into a calm and distant expression, as if he had not heard Sikong Jin's words.

Seeing Di Beizun's indifferent attitude, Lady Sikong's beautiful face lit up with a radiant smile, and she said gently, "What's wrong? You seem very angry? Look how well we understand each other. You wait for me here as soon as I leave the city!"

'Aww~'

As soon as Lord Sikong finished speaking, the sable, who had been silently watching the two of them, suddenly howled a few times. Its disdainful eyes were clearly mocking Lord Sikong for being presumptuous. Lord Sikong was furious. He grabbed a cushion next to him and threw it at the sable, threatening, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll skin you alive! Shut up!"

"Brother, let's get out of the city! Don't stay silent again, it's making me very anxious. Those bastards from the Royal Guard are chasing us right now, we need to get out and close the city gates quickly!"

Lord Sikong patiently spoke.

'Awooo—'

Seeing that Di Beizun ignored Sikong Jin, Diaoye let out a few triumphant howls, while obsequiously stroking Di Beizun's arm.

Sikong Jin glared at it, gritting her teeth and threatening, "If you cause any more trouble, I'll stab you to death and throw you out!"

'snort! ’

Lord Mink snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Lord Sikong glanced to the side and saw Di Beizun's slightly furrowed brows. He then softened his voice and sighed helplessly, "It's not that I dislike your little beast. Haven't you noticed that it's always very unfriendly to me?"

Sikong Jin really admired Di Beizun's skill. If he didn't want to talk to you, he could leave you hanging for an eternity!

A long silence fell over the carriage. Sikong Jin also fell silent, occasionally glancing at Di Beizun, who was deep in thought, out of the corner of her eye. She wondered what he was thinking, as his gaze was unpredictable and he was probably plotting something.

Sikong Jin's eyes gleamed faintly as she narrowed her eyes at Di Beizun, then sighed, "I admit I'm shameless, using every means to exploit my friends, cheating, swindling, and stealing—a disgrace to any gentleman. But I'm certain I'm shameless but not despicable. For the sake of those I care about, for the sake of Huang Hongtu's ambitions, I've always thought that these shameless acts really don't matter! You're a true gentleman and hero, so don't bother with a despicable and shameless person like me."

To question one's character in front of others is not what Lord Sikong desires, however...

"You are a true hero who understands righteousness and would go to great lengths for your brothers. We admire each other, our hearts are as one, and our passion is boundless. Why can't we emulate the heroes of the martial world and be more forthright and decisive?"

"A man of the martial world?" Di Beizun finally snapped out of his reverie, looking at Sikong Jin with a nonchalant air, and said calmly, "If people in the martial world were like you, they would have long been classified as scum of the martial world, excluded by all the major sects and forces, with no place for you. Sikong Jin, the extent to which you have such a high opinion of yourself surprises me."

Lord Sikong raised an eyebrow innocently, touched his nose, and said dismissively, "How could that be? I think with my abilities, I should be on good terms with all the sects and maintain long-term, pleasant cooperative relationships. In the martial arts world, I should even be given the nickname 'Invincible Sikong'..."

"Alright, alright, someone like me has no place in the martial world. You're right. Whatever you say goes now. Let's leave the city first and then discuss these issues, okay?"

Di Beizun looked at Sikong Jin with a silent expression. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "It's impossible for you to leave the city like this."

As soon as the words fell, a thunderous sound of hooves, the commands of the royal guards, and the orderly footsteps of the army filled the air, directly confirming Di Beizun's words. Sikong Jin frowned instantly.
