After traveling through the night without stopping,

Gu Ziliang and the others finally arrived at the capital of the Xili Empire.

They looked like travel-worn merchants.

Gu Ziliang knew that his golden brown hair and blue eyes were more conspicuous.

Therefore, he had always been wearing a hat from the Western Region.

Fortunately, there were also many blond and blue-eyed Western Region people in the Xili Empire.

Therefore, he didn’t look especially eye-catching.

However, they didn’t expect to be stopped by the city patrols when they were queuing up to enter the city gate.

“Where’s your pass!” The guard asked angrily.

Gu Ziliang and the attendants behind him looked at each other.

He explained calmly, “I dropped it on the way here and was about to go to the city to re-apply for one.”

The guard widened his eyes. “Then you’re not allowed to enter! No one can enter without a pass!”

Gu Ziliang frowned. “We came from afar to do business. We’ll leave after selling the fragrance powder here. Sir, please do us a favor.”

“That’s impossible. Go, go, go. Recently, His Majesty has just ordered stricter laws to be imposed everywhere. Without the pass, even flies won’t be able to fly in!”

The guard pushed them impatiently and even told them not to block the way.

Gu Ziliang was puzzled.

Why did Ling Tianyin suddenly put the entire city under stricter laws?

Could it be that he was worried that his father would send people to chase after his sister after she was captured?

However, for now, he had to find a reason to enter the city first.

Gu Ziliang originally planned to turn around and leave first.

However, a high and domineering female voice sounded from the side.

“Wait, who are you?”

Gu Ziliang looked back and saw a lady in gorgeous clothes riding a tall horse nearby, looking at him.

This lady was only about 14 years old, but she had thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving her a unique beauty.

Behind her sat another young lady of similar age.

The two of them were wearing dresses, but they were riding horses. Gu Ziliang was stunned.

He came back to his senses and cupped his hands politely.

“My name is Liang Sheng. I’m a merchant from the Western Region who wants to enter the city and sell the fragrance powder I brought.”

The lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Ziliang carefully.

She nodded and said to the guard, “Let him in.”

The guard was shocked. “How can that do? He doesn’t have a pass. His Majesty said that we can’t…”

With a slap of her whip, the lady frowned. “You aren’t even listening to this princess’s words? Do you want to be beaten up?!”

The guard clearly recognized this lady.

He hugged his head and begged for mercy. “Fourth Princess, please spare me!”

Princess?

Gu Ziliang frowned slightly and looked at the lady on the horse.

The lady who was referred to as the Fourth Princess snorted. “Let him enter the city. If there’s any problem, get Father to look for me.”

“Yes, yes, yes…” The guard didn’t dare to hesitate anymore and quickly let them pass.

Before she left, the fourth princess winked at Gu Ziliang. “Remember that I helped you today. My name is Qingge.”

Gu Ziliang quickly chased after her. “Why did you help me?”

The fourth princess, Ling Qingge, looked back and chuckled. “Because you’re good-looking!”

After saying that, she and the young lady beside her rode away with a smile.

Gu Ziliang was left standing there in a daze.

When the young lady beside the fourth princess turned around and saw this, she couldn’t help but snicker. “The person you like this time is actually a fool!”

“Nonsense! He’s clearly a good-looking fool.” The fourth princess laughed loudly.

The two of them rode further and further away.

The guard admitted that he was unlucky. “Come in. With the Fourth Princess as your guarantor, I won’t be blamed even if something were to happen!”

Gu Ziliang calmed down and nodded with his lips pursed. “Thank you.”

He then brought his attendants into the capital of the Xili Empire.
