Chapter 77 Our fate has ended, transaction risks

The two sat opposite each other around the table.

Their eyes met, and the room became eerily quiet.

"Lili, how have you been recently?" Zhan Doudou took the initiative to speak, breaking the deadlock.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm fine." Si Lili smiled faintly, but there was a sense of distance in her words.

Zhan Doudou looked somewhat helpless. Thinking of the intimacy between Si Lili and Li Chengping in the Hall of Supreme Harmony yesterday, an unknown anger rose in her heart.

"Li Chengping is just a prince, how can he compare with me!"

The voice was low and there was a hint of anger in Zhan Doudou's eyes.

He is the emperor of Northern Qi, so why can't he be defeated by a mere prince?
Si Lili's eyes moved, but soon returned to silence and drank the tea in the cup.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, Your Majesty. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After saying that, she stood up and walked towards the door.

Just as she was about to open the door and leave, Zhan Doudou rushed forward and stopped her.

"Lili, can you come back?"

Si Lili paused, slowly raised her head, and looked at Zhan Doudou with a sad smile on her face.

"What are you going back for? Are you going back to continue being used as a pawn by the royal family?"

"Your Majesty, your Li Lisi has already died in Zuixianju. From now on, I am just Si Lili!"

After saying this, Si Lili held back the tears in her eyes and turned away.

The guard at the door stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop them?"

"no need."

Zhan Doudou waved her hands weakly, looking at Si Lili's receding back, she leaned weakly against the wall.

……

Two days passed in a flash.

There was no news yet from the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, which made Li Chengping and others a little impatient.

Not only does this waste time, but one also has to constantly be on guard against assassinations against Sean.

The Northern Qi royal family seemed to be really anxious. In the past two days, various assassinations and poisonings have frequently appeared.

"Your Highness, we just caught two more killers in Sean's yard."

"Well, kill him."

Li Chengping had already gotten used to it.

These are the sixteen, no, seventeen killers who came to assassinate Sean.

This time, two killers were sent out at once. It seems that the royal family is really anxious!

At this time, a carrier pigeon landed from the sky on Li Chengping's shoulder.

"Oh, there's a letter from the capital!"

His eyes lit up and he took out the paper from the bamboo tube. There were actually two pieces of paper inside.

After reading the first picture, his expression became strange.

"Boy, this is big news!"

Li Chengping secretly smacked his lips.

According to intelligence, Li Chengqian had been taking so much tonic recently that he often stayed overnight at Guangxin Palace before returning to the palace until dawn.

When attending court, his steps were unsteady and he felt drowsy, which was obviously a sign of excessive indulgence.

In contrast, Li Yunrui has a rosy complexion, is in high spirits, and often dresses up, as if she is enjoying a second spring.

"Is Li Chengqian so courageous? It seems that a lot of interesting things happened while I was away!"

Li Chengping opened the second note with great anticipation.

"It's a little too early for Emperor Qing to grant the second son a marriage."

He muttered.

According to the situation, it should take some time to grant Li Chengze a marriage, but now it has been brought forward a lot of time.

Due to the sudden marriage between Li Chengze and the Ye family, the second prince's faction became more arrogant in the court and fought fiercely with the prince's faction.

"Emperor Qing is really good at political manipulation. His marriage proposal directly aroused Li Chengze's fighting spirit."

From just a few lines on the note, he could fully imagine how fierce the competition was in the court.

In fact, he could completely understand Li Chengze's feelings. Sitting in that position, even if he didn't fight for it, it was still a fight. What's more, he was now married to the Ye family.

Ye Chong was in charge of the imperial guards, and this alone was enough to make Li Chengqian nervous, not to mention that Li Chengze had the support of many court officials.

"The situation is so exciting, should I go back and get involved?"

Li Chengping stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Just then, the soldier came in with a letter.

"Your Highness, a child just came to the door and said he wanted to give this thing to you."

After the people left, Li Chengping opened the letter, but found it was blank, with nothing inside.

What's going on? Whose prank is this?
Just as he was about to throw the envelope away, he suddenly stopped.

"Something's wrong, this envelope seems to be thicker!"

Li Chengping narrowed his eyes.

Find a basin of water and soak the envelope for a while, then use a knife to carefully scrape the surface of the envelope.

He was surprised to find that there was a piece of paper wrapped inside. After reading the words on the paper, Li Chengping frowned.

"Don't go to the afternoon transaction, it's dangerous!"

Deal? What deal?
Just as Li Chengping was puzzled, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard outside.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince, His Majesty has ordered that the transaction be conducted on the outskirts of the city at 3 p.m. this afternoon. I hope you can abide by the agreement."

"Don't worry, I will."

Li Chengping read the imperial edict and fell into deep thought as he watched the eunuchs and their group walking away.

Is this true or false? Should I go?

……

Time flies and it will soon be Shenshi.

After some ideological struggle, Li Chengping decided to go.

In order to prevent any accidents, he kept Si Lili in the inn, but left six palace guards to protect her.

Coupled with Li Mu's combined formation, it is enough to protect oneself!
The sky was dark and covered with dark clouds, making people feel suffocated.

Arriving at the agreed location, Li Chengping discovered that this was an old road with dense forests on both sides.

From a distance, one could see Shen Zhong and a group of Jinyiwei waiting here, with a carriage parked in the middle.

"Commander Shen, why are you here? Where is your Emperor?" Li Chengping frowned.

"Your Majesty is unable to come because of something. Your Highness, may I ask if you have brought the person with you?"

As he spoke, Shen Zhong opened the carriage curtain, revealing Yan Bingyun's pale face.

Li Chengping didn't waste any words and directly drove Sean out of the carriage.

After confirming that it was a real person in person, Shen Zhong had no doubts.

"Your Highness, for the sake of safety, let them sit in the carriage for the exchange."

"can."

Li Chengping readily agreed to Shen Zhong's proposal.

Sean was sent back to the carriage, and Li Chengping raised his hand and slapped the horse's butt hard.

"Sorry..."

The horse neighed, and the carriage turned and pulled Sean towards the Northern Qi camp.

Shen Zhong waved the whip in his hand, and the carriage carrying Yan Bingyun drove towards Li Chengping.

At this moment, the air around them froze.

Everyone's attention was focused on the carriages. Just as the two carriages were about to meet, dense swarms of archers suddenly emerged from the dense woods on both sides.

"put!"

At the command, arrows shot towards the two carriages like raindrops.

"Quick, save people!"

Li Chengping roared, and Yan Xiaoyi took out the longbow from his back and shot the leader to death with one arrow.

The other archers were stunned, and taking this opportunity, the palace guards drew their swords and rushed into the crowd.
