Furthermore, it was stated that in order to ensure the safety of the Regent King and Queen of Great Chu and to demonstrate the sincerity of Northern Li, the Queen and the Valiant King would personally escort the Regent King and Queen to the border.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanchu raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appeared on his face. He had been thinking that the Northern King might not let them leave easily, and had prepared another plan.
Unexpectedly, King Bei Li changed his mind so quickly.
Not only did they agree to let them return to the Great Chu, but they also wanted the Queen and the Valiant King to escort them...
hehe.
"In that case, thank you very much, King Bei Li." Xiao Yanchu said no more.
Once everything was packed and ready, unlike the simple trip we made to get there, we were now heading back in a grand and imposing manner.
It was full of elaborate ceremonial entourage.
Come to think of it, it's true that it was Queen Bei Li who went out.
Sitting in the carriage, Su Ruojin asked, "Your Highness, what does Bei Li want to do?"
Xiao Yanchu smiled and said, "The fox will always show its tail eventually. Just wait and see."
Although he didn't know exactly what the Northern King wanted to do, he was sure it was related to him and A Jin, so he would just deal with it as it came.

As the convoy entered the desolate region, heavy snow began to fall, and the surrounding area was a vast expanse of white, with only a few wild birds occasionally flying across the gloomy sky.
Wei Xuebin led a team to welcome them.
He was a general of Bei Li, and with the arrival of the Queen and the Valiant King of Bei Li, he dared not be negligent.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Queen and the Valiant King." Wei Xuebin knelt down and bowed.
"General Wei, you've worked hard. Please get up." Lin Wanqing gently helped him up.
After Wei Xuebin got up, he saw Xiao Yanchu helping Su Ruojin dismount. He should have stepped forward to pay his respects, but he pretended not to see her.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have prepared a welcoming banquet. Please rest a bit and then join us for dinner."
Lin Wanqing nodded, "General Wei is very kind."
After resting briefly in the tent, Lin Wanqing took out a small bottle and poured the fragrant powder inside onto her sachet.
"Someone, summon General Wei."
Wei Xuebin arrived quickly and said, "Your Majesty, this humble subject greets you."
Back when Lin Wanqing was in the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, Wei Xuebin saw her as no different from any other maid.
But now that both of them have betrayed the Great Chu and come to the Northern Li, becoming high-ranking and powerful figures in the Northern Li, Wei Xuebin has developed a sense of kinship with Lin Wanqing.
"General Wei, please rise. I have summoned you here to discuss something. Please come closer to me."
Wei Xuebin did as instructed.
Lin Wanqing whispered a few words in his ear. After she finished speaking, Wei Xuebin's eyes sharpened, and he nodded heavily. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will handle this matter well."
The welcoming banquet in the military camp was not as luxurious as that in the palace. In the summer, everyone could light a bonfire in the open space of the camp, roast meat and drink wine.
It's winter now, with heavy snow and extreme cold. Su Ruojin is pregnant, so it's impossible for her to be outside in the cold.
Wei Xuebin hosted a banquet in the largest tent in the army and invited some important generals to accompany him.
The other soldiers were given some wine and meat as a token of their celebration.
At the banquet, some of the military dancers came out to perform. Wei Xuebin, who was stationed in Mohan, would not allow himself to suffer. He brought many dancers with him to pass the time while guarding the border.
Although the banquet was not large, it looked quite lively.
Previously, Wei Xuebin could pretend not to see Xiao Yanchu, but now at the banquet, he could no longer do so.
He approached Xiao Yanchu with a wine glass in hand, "Your Highness, I'd like to offer you a toast."
Xiao Yanchu glanced at him sideways and said, "General Wei, you're really shameless." She turned her head away and ignored him.
Wei Xuebin clenched his fists after being mocked like this, and turned to leave.
"Bring on the barbecue!" Wei Xuebin shouted outside, his voice filled with anger that was obvious to everyone.
Soon after, someone brought in the roasted mutton and distributed it to each table.
Seeing this, Wei Xuebin's previous frustration subsided somewhat.
Xiao Yanchu, let's see how arrogant you are in a moment.
