"Please follow me, Your Highness."

Su Pingbei immediately said.

Li Chen had just begun to step forward when he suddenly glanced at Wu Qingcang and said, "Wu Shuai, come with me."

Wu Qingcang was bewildered, but he still followed along.

The three returned to the city. At the southwest corner of the city, in Su Pingbei's camp, Li Chen saw the person who brought the note.

When he appeared, even Li Chen felt a sense of disbelief.

The person in front of me was none other than the younger brother of Empress Zhao Qinglan, the son of Zhao Xuanji, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Tailai!

Now Zhao Tailai is more solidly built than before, his skin has darkened, and there's a scar on his face, hideous like a centipede, winding from the corner of his left eyebrow to the corner of his right mouth, almost splitting his entire face diagonally.

He was wearing a sheepskin coat, a type of clothing rarely seen among the common people of Qin, but more common among merchant caravans traveling between Qin and Liao.

At this point, Zhao Tailai, if not for his unchanged facial features, Li Chen would have almost been unable to confirm that he was the same Zhao Dajun who could be considered both handsome and a frivolous young master.

"Your Highness, how are you"

Zhao Taile first spoke, bowing to Li Chen with a calm and steady tone.

Li Chen didn't speak, but just looked at Zhao Tailai's bow with a meaningful expression.

When people from the Qin dynasty met, they would greet each other by bowing with their fists together, or if there was a difference in status, they would bow even lower. When encountering the emperor, they would perform a grand prostration. Though there were many types of greetings, absolutely no one within the entire Qin empire would greet anyone by placing the palm of their right hand against the left side of their chest near their heart.

This kind of salutation only exists in grassland tribes.

Look at Zhao Tailai's attire now, and some things become more interesting.

Li Chen walked straight to the top seat and sat down, then said: "Zhao Tailai, I am very surprised to see you here."

Zhaotai Lai still answered calmly, "Life is a journey, and we meet everywhere. I never expected that one day I would meet the crown prince again."

As soon as these words left his mouth, Su Pingbei immediately rebuked, "Bold! To address Your Highness without kneeling and paying your respects, and to claim equality with me, this is a crime of disrespect!"

"That's all."

Li Chen waved his hand and said faintly, "Ping Bei, he is no longer a citizen of my Great Qin."

Su Pingbei was stunned upon hearing this.

Zhao Tailai merely smiled faintly, but the smile stretched across his gruesome centipede wound, making him appear not in the least bit kind, but rather more terrifying.

"Your Highness, your wit is sharp and your insight keen. You saw through it at once, saving me much explanation."

Li Chen leaned back in his chair, asking with interest: "If I recall correctly, I should have had you sent to Xian Chao. Why are you here"

Zhao Tailai said: "Xianchao had just experienced war. Although the royal family, with the help of the imperial court, drove out the East瀛 people, after the departure of the imperial troops, large-scale rebellions broke out within Xianchao. The entire Xianchao was not engulfed in flames of war, but it was also a state of warlordism. In such a chaotic world, anything could happen."

"For instance, you took advantage of the chaos to escape the Jinyiwei's watchful eyes and ran to this vast grassland" Li Chen asked.

He shook his head and replied, "I had no intention of escaping. To me, the world is vast. Besides Dà Qín's borders, everywhere else is the same. I was quite comfortable in Xiān Cháo, but with the internal war there, some people took advantage of the chaos to engage in the slave trade. Unfortunately, I was chosen."ian's mouth is dirtier than a courtesan's undergarments."As soon as these words were uttered, the entire room was stunned.For someone like Li Chen to say such things is indeed surprising.The only one...
