"Sister-in-law, where are you going? Wait for me." Seeing Lu Yanluo leaving, Chu Chen hurriedly followed her.

His elder brother is still trapped in Tianque Pass, so he must protect his elder sister-in-law for his elder brother.

As for this short-sighted Wang Jiyang, Chu Chen snorted coldly and looked at the closed city gate again unwillingly. He didn't believe that Wang Jiyang could hide in the city forever!

Tongzhou government office.

A short man walked into the main hall quickly, and after entering, he found a chair and sat down without any hesitation. He looked at Wang Jiyang who was writing something beside him with his head bent, and said proudly: "How is it? I was right, right? Those two people really came to Tongzhou."

Wang Jiyang stopped writing and looked up at the person who was speaking: "You said that Prince Su and Princess Ye came to Tongzhou?"

The man smiled disdainfully: "Yes, the two of them are standing outside the gate of Tongzhou right now. I asked the soldiers guarding the gate to close the gate. Unless they grow wings, they can't even set foot in Tongzhou."

"Nonsense!" Wang Jiyang scolded, "You are clearly telling people that there is something wrong with us, aren't you?"

The person being scolded sneered and said sarcastically, "Wang Jiyang, Wang Jiyang, we have lived together for so many years. To be honest, I really hate your attitude of wanting to be a whore and a saint at the same time. You even rejected the people sent by the Night King to ask for food. Do you think they will still regard you as a good person? It's just wishful thinking!"

"Wang Yueniang!" Wang Jiyang said sternly, "How can you talk to your brother like this? You have no respect for your elders and no manners at all. What kind of clothes do you wear all day long as a girl? Do you still want to get married? From today on, you are not allowed to leave the house at will. I have found a tutor for you. You will learn the rules in the house. You can leave only when I am satisfied!"

It turned out that this person was not a man at all, but Wang Jiyang's half-sister, Wang Yueniang.

Although Wang Yue Niang is a woman, she has a masculine character. She is unwilling to be inferior to others and is a person with her own ideas.

Wang Yueniang and Wang Jiyang had received the news long before Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen set foot in Qingzhou. Wang Yueniang asserted at the time that after Lu Yanluo got the food from Qingzhou, she would never give up and would definitely come to Tongzhou, so she asked Wang Jiyang to make preparations early.

But Wang Jiyang didn't care. So what if they came? He didn't say he wouldn't give food. It's just that he wouldn't give food easily because he couldn't see the emperor's edict.

As for the imperial edict, the emperor is far away, His Majesty is seriously ill and unconscious, how can he issue an edict? Even if Princess Ye holds the imperial edict, so what? He can just say it's fake. In Tongzhou, who can do anything to him?

Wang Jiyang ignored it, but Wang Yueniang, who was always meticulous, could not ignore it.

She sent people to wait at various checkpoints near Qingzhou, and as expected, Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen left Qingzhou and headed straight for Tongzhou.

Wang Yue Niang acted decisively and ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, not giving Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen a chance to enter the city.

But she didn't expect that Wang Jiyang would blame her instead!

"I won't!" Wang Yue Niang rejected it outright. She stood up and looked at Wang Ji Yang angrily: "You are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, you don't know the kindness of a good person. I am doing this for you. One of them is a prince and the other is a princess. You are just a small prefecture. If you let them in, what can you use to fight them?"

Wang Jiyang didn't care at all. He snorted coldly and continued to write something with his head down: "What about the prince? What about the princess? The reputation of the Night King spread throughout Tianji and shocked the four fields, but what about now? Isn't it that he has to ask me for help? A little bit of food can force the famous Night King to this point. It is enough to show that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake."

Wang Yueniang obviously looked down upon Wang Jiyang's confident look and could not help but roll her eyes at him: "I advise you not to be too confident. You might die without knowing how. Xie Tianzhang of Qingzhou has military merits. So what happened to him in the end? He still handed over the grains honestly. Can you compare with Xie Tianzhang?"

Wang Yue Niang and Wang Ji Yang are half-sisters and grew up together. They seem to be close siblings, but in fact, neither of them likes the other. Wang Yue Niang hates Wang Ji Yang's pretentiousness, and Wang Ji Yang looks down on Wang Yue Niang's unruly behavior.

When Wang Yue Niang was ten years old, her family followed her father to take up his post. Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers on the way. Except for the brother and sister who were desperately sent out by the palace, the rest of the more than 30 people were killed by the robbers.

From then on, Wang Jiyang lived with his sister Wang Yueniang. Eight years passed in a flash, and Wang Jiyang became the prefect of a state. Although his official position was not high, he was a man of great power in Tongzhou.

Apart from Wang Yue Niang, no one would say such derogatory words.

"Someone come here." Wang Jiyang didn't want to argue with Wang Yue Niang anymore, so he called someone to take Wang Yue Niang away.

"You are not young anymore. Don't leave the mansion without permission. Learn the rules in the mansion. I have found a good husband's family for you and we will arrange the marriage by the end of the year."

Wang Yue Niang refused to agree when she heard this. She had no intention of getting married. She did not want to be locked up in the inner house for the rest of her life and revolve around a man all day long. She wanted the life she wanted.

"I won't marry. If you want to marry, go ahead and do it yourself. Wang Jiyang, I warn you, don't make decisions about my life. You are just my brother, with whom I have a not-so-harmonious relationship. You have no right to decide."

Wang Jiyang looked at Wang Yue Niang coldly, said nothing, waved his hand and asked someone to take Wang Yue Niang away.

In these troubled times, he didn't have the time to argue with her about whether they could get married or not.

The most important thing now is how to deal with these two distinguished guests from Beijing. Refusing them entry can only stop them temporarily. If we want to resolve this matter completely, we have to find another way.

Wang Jiyang's eyes were full of calculations. He stood up, straightened his sleeves, and walked straight out of the government office.

At this time, outside Tongzhou City, Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen, who were denied entry, were now walking proudly on the streets of Tongzhou.

An hour ago, Lu Yanluo left the city gate and headed straight for the moat. Chu Chen didn't understand why, and before he could react, Lu Yanluo plunged into the water and disappeared.

"Sister-in-law!" Chu Chen didn't have time to think about it and jumped down as well.

The moat goes around Tongzhou. Many wealthy families in the city would dig an artificial lake in their own yard to show off their elegance. For convenience, they would secretly connect to the waterway of the moat. This is the opportunity for Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen.

The two groped in the water for several times and finally found a waterway leading to the city. Following the waterway, half an hour later, they finally set foot in Tongzhou.
