So he pretended to be calm and said:
"Xiangcheng? It's occupied by the Qi army now. What are you, a girl, doing there?"
This woman might be another spy arranged by Helian Rongxia to infiltrate Da Qi. In this case, it would be better for them to keep this woman under their noses. It would not be too late to get rid of her after figuring out what she wants to do.
What? Go home.
But Ye Jinyun couldn't tell him that, so he started to make up a story:
"When the two countries were at war, my mother took me and escaped from Xiangcheng together, but my father was a step slower. My brother and I were imprisoned in the city after the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty captured Xiangcheng. Who would have thought that my mother fell ill and died on the way to escape?
So I lost my mother and wanted to take her ashes back to Xiangcheng to find my father and brother and reunite with my family. Even if Xiangcheng now belongs to the Great Qi, I will still cross the border and go back."
Ye Jinyun said this with a sad mood, but he actually admired himself in his heart. He could tell a story whenever he opened his mouth. It would be a pity if he didn't use this eloquence to tell a story.

However, whether it was true or not would be known after she arrived in Xiangcheng. If she could not find the father and brother she mentioned after entering Xiangcheng, he would definitely make sure she had no chance to return.
So he said to her: "It's just right, we are going to Xiangcheng too, young lady, please come with us."
Ye Jinyun was hoping he would say that, and immediately agreed upon hearing it.
So the two of them put their minds to it and reached an agreement to travel together with their own thoughts.
When the other men in black saw that their leader agreed to take the woman on the journey, they naturally had no objection.
