"Then let's not wait any longer. Let's leave there and come to Rongcheng, and protect Rongcheng together."
They weren't of royal blood to begin with. Previously, Dou Xin and Consort Mei were there, and there was a so-called plan. Now that those two are gone, who knows how people's hearts will change?
Su Wenheng lowered his head and chuckled softly, "Can I still extricate myself now?"
"able."
Consort Mei's ability to freely enter and leave the palace and become the lord of Rongcheng must mean she has some special skills.
Now it depends on whether the people in Rongcheng will agree to let her, an outsider, become the city lord.
Su Wenheng suddenly pointed to the inn not far away and said, "That person wants to see you."
Ah Li looked at Su Wenheng expressionlessly, "It's that one from the palace."
Su Wenheng gave a helpless smile and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll take you there."
"Isn't Wenqin coming along?"
Ah Li looked towards Su Wenqin, who was still talking to Liu Luoxue.
"That person only wants to see you."
Su Wenheng turned and left, and Ali followed him to the inn.
The inn was surrounded, and everyone inside had been emptied. Outside, a circle of people stood holding knives.
When Su Wenheng brought Ah Li over, the others glanced at her and then made way.
In the inn's lobby, one person was sitting and another was standing. On the table were several plates of fruit and snacks, as well as a pot of tea.
Su Chongshan looked at Ali. He still remembered her; she was the palace maid who followed Dou Xin when she left the palace.
Ahri neither bowed nor called out.
Su Wenheng did not come in; he stood guard at the door.
The old eunuch behind Su Chongshan carefully examined Ali. She didn't look like a general at all, but Consort Mei said that the general had handed her his sword.
The old eunuch slowly spoke, "Madam, where is that sword?"
Ahri put the sword in her spatial storage, saying, "I've put it away."
The old eunuch seemed somewhat displeased. He said, "How can you put it away? The general said that her sword should be taken out often to air out, sunbathe, and see blood."
Ah Li frowned. When did Dou Xin develop this habit?
She didn't like using swords before; she preferred spears.
I remember back then, Dou Xin met a guy who was really good at fighting. He not only wielded his spear with great skill, but sometimes he would also shout, "The spear strikes like a dragon!" Later, if he was in a good mood, he would hum, "A smile breaks through the sky."
Su Chongshan raised his hand to dismiss the old eunuch, saying, "That sword will allow you to secure your position as the Lord of Rongcheng."
