After returning from a victorious battle, the female general Li Chang'an is proposed to by the Regent within days! "General! It's bad! The Regent has blocked our gates with betrothal gi...

Chapter 219 Thieves

Li Chang'an's heart was always with Zhuque, so she couldn't wait to get up and go to the Regent's Palace.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Upon seeing this, Tao Yaojun immediately got up and chased after him.

Li Chang'an turned to look at the man, then said, "Let's go to the Regent's Palace."

Tao Yaojun was about to nod in agreement, but when she glanced at the clothes she was wearing, she frowned and said with a troubled expression, "Um... could I change into something more presentable before I go?"

As someone who cares a lot about her image, Tao Yaojun naturally couldn't allow herself to leave the house looking like this.

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an frowned slightly, then said, "I don't have any men's clothes here, but you can borrow a set of clothes from Feng Beichuan after you go to the Regent's Palace."

Tao Yaojun thought about it and realized that this was the only way so far, so she could only nod with a bitter face, feeling more depressed than ever before.

Tao Yaojun was utterly disgusted with the clothes she was wearing.

He had snatched these clothes from a drunkard who was passed out on the roadside in the chaos.

It seems that after tonight, another perverted man who strips people naked will appear in the capital.

The two hurriedly left the general's mansion, unaware that someone was watching them from afar.

As soon as they entered the Regent's Palace, Li Chang'an and his companion saw Feng Beichuan feeding his myna bird in the courtyard.

"Chang An, why did you two come together?"

Upon seeing Li Chang'an arrive, Feng Beichuan's face lit up with joy, but then he looked at Tao Yaojun with a questioning gaze.

Because of what happened last night, when he saw Tao Yaojun now, he immediately and reflexively suspected that this person was an imposter.

So Feng Beichuan stepped forward and pinched the person's face, secretly relieved to find that there was no mask on the face.

Seeing the other person's neurotic appearance, Tao Yaojun frowned slightly in displeasure, then patted her chest and said confidently, "Tsk, what are you doing? Do you doubt me? I'm the real deal!"

Upon hearing the other party's tone, Feng Beichuan immediately felt completely relieved—this person was none other than the genuine Tao Yaojun.

Then Feng Beichuan said, "Where have you been all night? And how did you end up with Chang An? I had Cang Yun look for you all night, but he still hasn't come back!"

Faced with these questions, Tao Yaojun couldn't help but think of the time when that despicable guy drugged her with poison and stole her clothes, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered something extremely important, so he said to Feng Beichuan, "Let's not talk about that for now, go find me some clothes to wear."

Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan felt even more puzzled. He then couldn't help but scrutinize Tao Yaojun's clothes and quickly noticed something amiss. He then connected this to the fact that the Dark Night Pavilion had disguised themselves as him.

Connecting the dots of the whole affair, Feng Beichuan quickly figured out the gist of it, and then couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, feeling a little unkind.

"You, you wouldn't be..."

Feng Beichuan wore a malicious smile, and before he could finish a sentence, he couldn't help but laugh again.

This infuriated Peach Blossom Lord.

Li Chang'an, standing to the side, shrugged helplessly, thinking to himself that this time he didn't even need to say anything; the other party had already guessed it.

Seeing the other party's gloating expression, Tao Yaojun felt both ashamed and angry, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Then, he angrily said to Feng Beichuan, "You're not allowed to laugh! If it weren't for your insistence on going to that auction and making me bid for that silver spear for you, none of this would have happened! Go find me some clothes right now, the most expensive ones!"

At this moment, Feng Beichuan's face was flushed with laughter, but he had to admit that what Tao Yaojun had just said was indeed true.

While Feng Beichuan went to get the clothes, Li Chang'an and Tao Yaojun went to the main hall to wait for the man to return.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly darted in from outside.

This person was none other than Cangyun.

Upon seeing Tao Yaojun leisurely sitting in a chair drinking tea, Cang Yun's eyes widened immediately. He then pointed at him with a shocked expression and said, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Why can't I be here?"

The next second, Cangyun felt like he was about to pass out.

He searched for this person all night without success. He was originally planning to come back and report to Feng Beichuan before going to look for him again, but now he actually saw the other person drinking tea in the Regent's Palace!

This made Cangyun feel like he had been completely taken advantage of.

Seeing Cang Yun's furious, almost murderous expression, Li Chang'an had no choice but to step in as peacemaker. He spoke to him gently, "Alright, you must be tired after working all night. Go and get yourself ready! Now that everyone's alright, everything's fine..."

After hearing Li Chang'an's words, Cang Yun felt a little better, but he still couldn't help but glare at Tao Yaojun.

Just then, Feng Beichuan returned with the clothes. As he walked over, he said, "Look, this is one I personally picked out for you. It's definitely the most expensive piece of clothing I own. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

After saying that, he threw the heavy garment in his hand into Tao Yaojun's arms.

Tao Yaojun took the dress, stood up, looked it over from left to right, and then held it up to herself. She nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect you to have such good taste! I'll go change now, thank you!"

Seeing the man's jubilant expression, everyone was stunned.

That outfit was, in their eyes, utterly extravagant.

It was covered with large areas of patterns embroidered with gold thread, and the belt was inlaid with pearls and jade. If you wore this outside, it would probably dazzle everyone.

Feng Beichuan's face was filled with a mocking expression. He had never worn that extremely vulgar dress before, and now he could finally give it away.

After Tao Yaojun left, Cang Yun couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.
