Ji Changying and the other two looked all the way over. Starting from the city gate, there were dozens of soldiers standing on each side with spears in their hands and swords on their waists. The aura they exuded was very awe-inspiring, making those who were queuing outside the city gate dare not act rashly.

As we got closer to the city gate, the noise behind us gradually faded away, and the bustling voices of people inside the city wall gradually became audible.

"Grandma!"

Xie Siheng's clear voice sounded outside the window, and the four people inside all looked over.

"Today is the day when the Northern Yan envoys arrive in Beijing, and we just happened to catch them."

Hearing about Beiyan, Jiang Qianruo glanced at Zhou and asked, "What is Beiyan doing in Beijing?"

Xie Siheng glanced at Ji Changying and the others. He was also aware that the two-wing arrows of the Northern Yan royal family appeared on the battlefield between Dali and the foreign race.

"Northern Yan suffered a drought that's unseen in a century this year, and most of the country's grain production has decreased. We are coming to the capital now to explain the incident of the two-wing arrows and to seek peace."

Jiang Qianruo sneered: "You came just in time!"

Xie Siheng curled his lips and looked at Ji Changying: "It just so happens that the victim is here, so I don't have to write a letter to ask. You can take advantage of this time to think about what compensation you want."

Ji Changying's eyes lit up: "Anything is fine?"

Seeing the undisguised excitement on her face, Xie Siheng's eyes were filled with a smile: "The initiative is in our hands. As long as it's not excessive, you can ask for anything."

"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."

You should get the things back, but as for the revenge... it must be taken.

Before Ji Changying could ask Zhou what she wanted, she heard her shout in surprise, "Look! The road is so wide!"

It turned out that while they were talking, Zhou had been looking outside, and she exclaimed as soon as she entered the city.

Ji Changying then looked outside.

Starting from the city gate, a straight and wide road with a diameter of 30 meters and paved with blue bricks comes into view. It looks clean and tidy without a trace of dust.

Both Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Zhou stared in amazement.

This was the first time in all their lives that they had seen such a spacious, bright, clean and tidy road. It completely refreshed their cognition.

Ji Changying's eyes also lit up. She had never seen such a grand and spacious road here.

Jiang Qianruo took a look and introduced with a smile: "This road is called Suzaku Street, which leads directly to the inner and outer cities. We are in the outer city now. Going further in, there is the inner city. The Tianmen Street inside is twice as wide as this one."

Mrs. Hu was shocked when she heard this.

There were drug stores, cosmetics stores, butcher shops, pastry shops, wine shops, tea houses, etc. on both sides of the road, which were so dazzling that it was hard to take in the sight. The houses in the city were lined up in an orderly manner, and they found everything they saw strange.

Even the beggars on the street seem to be cleaner than those in other places.

As Ji Changying looked at it, she suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Jiang Qianruo: "Where are we going now?"

These words brought Mrs. Hu back to her senses immediately.

Right! Now that they've arrived in the capital, where should they go? They can't just follow the Empress to... the palace, right?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Hu felt her heart suddenly tighten. Her hands and feet trembled just thinking about it, and her heart was full of resistance.

Zhou didn't care at all. She would go wherever her family went. For her, it was just a matter of sleeping in a different place.

"Let's go to my villa first." Jiang Qianruo had already decided where to go before returning to Beijing.

Xie Siheng spoke at the right time: "We'll be there in about fifteen minutes."

When Ji Changying heard that they were not going directly to the palace, her expression relaxed a little.

Jiang Qianruo seemed to be able to read their thoughts, with a smile on his face: "I have been constrained here for my whole life. Since I insist on taking you back, I naturally have the confidence to protect you. Don't worry about it too much. Just treat this place as the same as Liangzhou. Live your life as you want. I will take care of it if the sky falls."

Zhou's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Is this true?"

"Really." Jiang Qianruo nodded affirmatively.

Zhou pointed at the road outside the window with some doubt: "Then can I walk sideways here?"

Jiang Qianruo suppressed a smile: "Of course!"

When Zhou heard her promise, she felt a little restless.

At this moment, there was a commotion ahead.

The pedestrians on the street were driven aside by a group of guards with swords, and it seemed that they were clearing the area.

Chuan Qiong stepped forward and said, "Director, those are people from the Ministry of Rites. They were heading to the city gate to welcome the envoys from Northern Yan, and they bumped into us going in the same direction."

Ji Changying looked ahead. After the guards had cleared the people to the side, a group of people on horseback slowly came over from behind.

Upon seeing their group, the young man in the lead instantly locked his eyes on Xie Siheng, rode his horse straight over, and blocked their way.

"Cousin! I didn't expect to see you here, what a coincidence!"

Prince Zhuang stood tall and straight, looking at Xie Siheng with a friendly smile on his face.

Facing such a smiling face, Xie Siheng bowed and saluted, then looked at King Zhuang indifferently: "It's the only way to the city gate, so it's not surprising to meet you. However, you are blocking the way."

Prince Zhuang's expression froze for a moment, then he chuckled and ignored Xie Siheng's words. "I wonder where you're going, cousin? Is there anything I can help you with? I've just received orders from my father and am currently taking people from the Ministry of Rites to greet the envoys from Northern Yan. If you're not in a hurry, would you like to join us?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have important things to do, so I won't see you off." Xie Siheng didn't respond to him.

Ji Changying was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the prince could act as if nothing had happened after being humiliated in public. His ability to endure was truly amazing.

The Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister of Rites and others behind King Zhuang looked at each other intently, as if they had not heard what the two said.

What a joke, they really can't afford to offend either of these two people!

Having humiliated King Zhuang twice in a row, even the thickest-skinned man could not help but feel a little angry. King Zhuang's face suddenly fell and he could no longer pretend.

He received news that Xie Siheng had captured a lot of people he sent out yesterday. He was worried that these people had been brought back by him to be handed over to his father for handling.

He gave his attendant a look and was about to send someone forward to check the carriage when he heard a laugh from behind: "It seems that today is really an auspicious day. I didn't expect that we brothers would meet here together!"

Two people who looked to be of different ages and had very different temperaments were walking side by side on the street, each followed by a team of guards, as if they were just out for a stroll.

Jiang Qianruo's expression became somewhat intriguing, and he sighed softly, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect that they would all come out as soon as we entered the city. Not a single one was left behind."

Xie Siheng bowed to the two princes and said, "Greetings to Prince Yi and Prince Xuan."
