Gu Nuo’er followed Wei Cang and the others and didn’t encounter any obstacles after that.

Wei Cang was afraid that something would happen again and drove the carriage day and night without stopping.

Finally, a month later, Gu Nuo’er was brought to the capital of the Xili Empire by Wei Cang.

At this moment, it was the end of summer in the Xili Empire.

Gu Nuo’er looked out of the carriage window. There were big trees close together with unknown purple flowers blooming on them.

The purple petals that filled the sky danced with the wind. The blue sky and leisurely white clouds lit up the child’s eyes.

“Wow~ The capital looks quite nice too!”

Ye Siming had long returned to his black wolf form and was lying in a corner to rest.

Hearing the child’s sigh, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at her lazily before closing his eyes and falling asleep again.

Compared to Gu Nuo’er’s relaxed and content expression, Wei Cang and Yuan Gu, who were walking at the front of the carriage, had serious expressions.

The capital’s city gate was not far away.

However, Wei Cang had already seen that the inside and outside the city gate, as well as on the city walls, were all filled with soldiers.

He looked like he was about to go on a crusade.

Wei Cang couldn’t help but think of how much Ling Tianyin hated Gu Yihan.

He couldn’t help but ask, “General Zheng, could it be that you’re going to be the commander-in-chief and set off for war?”

General Zheng laughed heartily and waved his hand. “No, no. Her Majesty’s eldest son has returned to the capital recently and revealed a piece of news to His Majesty.

“He said that under the Great Qi’s emperor, Gu Yihan, there’s a fierce general, Marquis Yongye. This person appears and disappears mysteriously and is highly skilled in martial arts.

“After being reminded by the emperor’s eldest son, oh no, His Highness the Crown Prince, we’re specially on guard here and are prepared to fight Marquis Yongye at any time!”

General Zheng placed his hand on the sword at his waist, eyes filled with disdain.

“I’ll take this chance to meet this Marquis Yongye and see if he is talented or if he’s a young man whose hair hasn’t grown fully!”

When Wei Cang saw that General Zheng had underestimated his enemy like this, he couldn’t help but frown.

He cupped his hands. “Then I won’t delay any longer. I still have to bring Princess Yaoguang into the palace to meet His Majesty. Farewell.”

“Hey, wait.” General Zheng blocked Wei Cang’s path.

His eyes were a little sinister and his smile was also eerie.

“His Majesty has orders. You can just leave her here. Hand Princess Yaoguang to me and I’ll bring her into the palace to see His Majesty.”

Wei Cang was stunned. “Before I set off, His Majesty didn’t tell me that he wanted to transfer the princess to someone else.”

Unexpectedly, General Zheng took out a bright imperial edict from his sleeve!

With a whoosh, it unrolled and was raised in front of Wei Cang.

“Governor Wei, the imperial edict is here. Do you believe me now?” General Zheng asked with a fake smile.
