The ministers following Grand Marshal Xu exchanged bewildered glances, and even the onlookers were whispering among themselves. Some, more than others, suggested that Hua Yihen looked down on Grand Marshal Xu and was deliberately trying to embarrass him. Just at this awkward moment, a light, melodious laugh suddenly erupted from the carriage, further embarrassing Grand Marshal Xu. Thus, the feud between Grand Marshal Xu and Hua Yihen was sealed. Inside a guesthouse in the imperial capital of Lizhou, a woman in a green silk dress stood by the windowsill, looking down. She was draped in a white fur coat, her hair tied in a single bun, a silk flower adorned on the left, and a jade hairpin on the right. Her features were delicate, her eyes aglow, her pretty face flushed slightly from the cold, like the shy, timid daughter of a wealthy family meeting a stranger for the first time. She was a painting of a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, the next moment, the beauty suddenly laughed, her hearty laughter and wide, pink lips instantly ruining the beauty. Su Yang looked at the officers and soldiers who had left downstairs, smiled and closed the window tightly, turned around and laughed: "Hahaha~ General Xu, your lies really opened Xue Yang's eyes, hahaha!" Upon hearing this, a crack appeared on Xu Chang's handsome face, which had been expressionless for many years, and he actually revealed a faint smile. "Miss Xueyang, the prince has important matters to attend to, and he has ordered me to protect your safety. If you want to go out, be sure to let me accompany you. Don't sneak out. Lizhou is not like Huazhou. This is Lizhou's territory..." Before Xu Chang finished speaking, Su Yang couldn't help rolling his eyes and pushed Xu Chang to go out. While pushing, he said helplessly: "Okay, General Xu, you have said these words hundreds of times, and my ears are callused. Don't worry, I won't sneak out. You go and settle those brothers first." Su Yang pushed Xu Chang out of the door and immediately bolted it. He put his ear to the door to listen to the movement outside. He heard the footsteps of Xu Chang leaving gradually farther and farther away, and Su Yang exhaled heavily. Then, Su Yang's lips curled slightly, a chuckle etched in his lips, and he whispered, "I'd be surprised if I didn't go out." He walked to the door and opened the window. A cool breeze immediately poured in. Su Yang glanced around, brought a stool to the window, lifted her skirt, and stepped onto it. Just as she was about to jump off, she felt her fur coat getting in the way. Without thinking, she untied it and threw it on the ground. She then took off her hairpin and threw it on top of the fur coat. Suddenly, she felt much lighter. Su Yang rolled up her wide sleeves and tucked them inside, then lifted her skirt and tied it in a knot. Then she climbed up to the window and looked out. Just then, she saw a carriage passing below. Seeing that there were no people around it except for the driver, Su Yang jumped down, landing right on the carriage's roof. Su Yang jumped off the carriage, and as her feet touched the ground, she was smug. But the next moment, her smile froze on her face. "Uh... misunderstanding, all misunderstanding." Su Yang held out his hands, indicating he had no weapons, and smiled harmlessly. Looking at the people surrounding him, all dressed in tight black, wearing pure black masks, and holding long swords, Su Yang couldn't help but curse inwardly. Lizhou was indeed not like Huazhou. She had caused trouble by simply borrowing a carriage as a place to stay. This carriage was obviously very ordinary, and the driver was also dressed very simply. Just now, when she was watching from above, there were obviously not so many people around. But as soon as she came down, so many people suddenly appeared, all carrying weapons. The people in the carriage must be extraordinary.
