Although that palm strike was not light, it happened so suddenly that the opponent did not have a chance to attack with full force.
For Feng Beichuan, who was often taught a lesson by Li Chang'an, a mere slap was nothing to worry about.
But since Li Chang'an has come to him of his own accord, how could he not welcome him?
After waiting a while longer, the people and carriages from the Regent's Palace brought by Cangyun arrived.
Although he didn't understand, seeing Zhuque's expression as if someone owed her a debt, Cangyun could only suppress his doubts and help her settle the unconscious man.
Li Chang'an naturally helped Feng Beichuan onto the carriage.
As a result, the two had only taken two steps when Li Chang'an noticed something amiss.
"etc."
Li Chang'an suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the man's face, which was inches away from his own.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Beichuan involuntarily swallowed. He felt his scalp tighten and his pores open because the woman's aura was too close to him.
"Go up yourself!"
Li Chang'an suddenly said in an annoyed tone, and then let go of Feng Beichuan, leaving him standing aside.
Seeing the situation was dire, Feng Beichuan immediately feigned a terminal illness, hunching over, clutching his chest, and weakly pleading, "Quick, help me up! I'm about to collapse..."
Looking at the other party's hypocritical act, Li Chang'an really wanted to slap him across the face.
But after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that it was inappropriate to always resort to violence, so she frowned and said, "You were hit on the shoulder, not the chest. Even if you're just pretending, at least make it believable, right?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan's face immediately changed color. If it weren't for the faint pain he felt in his left shoulder, he would have almost forgotten where he had been slapped.
"Cough cough cough... I was clutching my chest because the pain traveled from my shoulder to my chest, I wasn't faking it!"
When Li Chang'an saw that this person was still shamelessly trying to argue, he was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He simply got into the carriage and abandoned the job.
Seeing this, Feng Beichuan was also helpless. He couldn't help but shrug his shoulders helplessly, thinking to himself that he should have known that this woman was not so easy to fool. He then resigned himself to his fate that he could not fool her at all, and then he lifted his leg to get into the carriage.
As a result of this activity, the spot where he had just been struck was aggravated, and Feng Beichuan immediately felt a nagging pain in his shoulder.
Even if he were to die of pain right now, the people in the carriage would probably just stand by and watch. After all, he had been whining for so long and had finally angered them.
In the end, Feng Beichuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and climb into the carriage in one go.
Along the way, Feng Beichuan seemed to have transformed into a chattering old monk, babbling on and on, making Li Chang'an feel dizzy and irritable.
One moment this man was asking Li Chang'an how to deal with those men in black, and the next he was filled with righteous indignation, saying that no matter what, he had to pry those men's mouths open and get all the old and new grudges back.
After talking for a while, Feng Beichuan seemed to realize that he had been performing a one-man show all along, so he started talking about the relationship between Zhuque and the Dark Night Pavilion assassin.
"Chang An, if Zhu Que and he are from the same sect, why would he engage in such shady dealings in a place like the Dark Night Pavilion? And last time, didn't he recognize his junior sister when he attacked her? Tsk, this is really complicated..."
At this moment, Feng Beichuan had transformed into a common woman chatting with others about everyday matters.
"Sir, could you please stop for a moment?"
After a while, Li Chang'an ignored Feng Beichuan and instead lifted the carriage curtain to give instructions to the driver in front.
"Whoa!"
Upon hearing this, the coachman immediately pulled on the reins and stopped the carriage.
Because the carriage carrying Li Chang'an and his group was in front, when it stopped, the carriages carrying Zhuque and Cangyun behind it also stopped.
Seeing this, Feng Beichuan was a little surprised and thought something had happened. He was about to ask when Li Chang'an lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage again.
"Hey! You, why did you leave?"
Feng Beichuan also lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out. He then saw Li Chang'an calmly tell the driver to continue, and then get into the carriage behind.
Suddenly, it became clear to me.
So she wanted to get rid of me!
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Feng Beichuan was furious and pounded on the carriage, making a loud banging noise. The coachman thought something terrible had happened and immediately felt a pang of anxiety. He then hurriedly stopped the carriage again.
The final result was that, thanks to Feng Beichuan's tireless efforts, the four people plus the unconscious man squeezed into the same carriage.
Li Chang'an felt overwhelmed by the situation. All she wanted was a quiet place, so why was it so difficult?
However, this time, Feng Beichuan, whether out of anger or realizing that he was being too noisy and annoying, surprisingly shut his mouth.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became somewhat oppressive.
It wasn't because no one was talking, but because the atmosphere around them was really strange.
Li Chang'an could tell at a glance that Cangyun and Zhuque must have had a fight, otherwise one of them wouldn't be frowning while the other looked conflicted.
However, she was never one to pry into other people's gossip, and from the few words Zhuque had exchanged with the other party, Li Chang'an had already roughly guessed the relationship between Zhuque and the man in black.
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. Originally, this matter was very simple to handle, and it could even be said that they had already accomplished their mission perfectly.
Now that the members of the Dark Night Pavilion have been captured alive, one worry has been temporarily put to rest. Even if we couldn't get the answers we wanted from them in the end, at least we were able to collect some of the debts we owed them.
But now the problem has become tricky, and no one would have thought that Suzaku actually has a close relationship with the people of Dark Night Pavilion.
Li Chang'an knew that she no longer had the initiative to handle the matter; she had to consider Zhuque's feelings.
After a long and arduous journey, everyone finally arrived at the Regent's Palace.
