The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 183 Never Reject
"Yes Yes."

The city lord subconsciously wiped his cold sweat and quickly agreed. It seemed that His Highness knew what was happening in the city. Fortunately, it was just a warning.

He immediately ordered people to take these criminals away, and the city lord continued to lead the people to his own house.

"My humble abode is a bargain. Your Highness, I am sorry for that."

"Nothing." Ye Beiling spoke coldly, and asked some more questions about disaster management, which scared the other party so much that he broke out in a cold sweat, and then he let him go.

"Since Your Highness has nothing to do, I will take my leave." After leaving the room, the city lord still felt a chill on his back. He was worthy of being the Third Prince. He was really afraid that he had said something wrong just now.

"Where are you planning to stay later?" Ye Beiling looked at Bai Qianxi and asked. The city lord had arranged three guest rooms, and he let her choose first.

"It's all right."

"Then you will live in the east wing today."

Among the three rooms arranged by the city lord, the east wing has the best environment and is also a symbol of status.

Bai Qianxi didn't expect him to arrange this for her, but she didn't refuse.

Seeing her agree, Ye Beiling raised the corners of his lips, "It's been a busy day today, and it's getting late, you should rest first."

Along the way, Ye Beiling seemed to have figured it out. Bai Qianxi felt that this distance, which was neither too far nor too close, was just right.

Bai Qianxi had a dreamless night and got up early the next day. Ye Beiling was already in the yard.

"Now that everything is basically settled, do you plan to go back now or what?"

After both parties greeted each other, Bai Qianxi spoke.

Ye Beiling felt bitter inside. Did she really want to break up with him?
But Ye Beiling didn't show any sign of it on the surface. "It depends on your arrangement. I still have some things to deal with over there. I'm afraid I can't go back to the city with you."

"But I can still escort you for a distance."

"Since you have something to do, you don't have to send me off. I can do it by myself, not to mention there are so many people here." Bai Qianxi frowned and said, "Compared to me, these refugees need you more now."

"I've handed these matters over to Shaozhi. I trust him. Even if I'm away for a while, nothing will go wrong."

Ye Beiling still didn't want to be separated from Bai Qianxi, even after this incident with the bandits.

"What if you encounter any danger ahead?"

"No, have you forgotten? In addition to these guards, His Majesty also specially sent me secret guards. If you hadn't come yesterday, I wouldn't have been in trouble with those secret guards!"

Bai Qianxi spoke seriously.

Ye Beiling was silent for a moment.

"Xi'er!" At this moment, Bai Yulang came over and saw the two chatting. He shouted excitedly, "Your Highness is here too! What are you talking about?"

"Nothing." Bai Qianxi said, "How are those bandits being dealt with now?"

"They have all been properly settled. The city lord will punish them according to their respective crimes. In addition, the city lord has also arranged for people to go to the village."

"That's good." Bai Qianxi nodded. This was also a good thing. "Without this village, people passing by will be safer in the future."

Several people also agreed.

When they were talking about the city lord, the city lord happened to come over.

"Did you all sleep well last night? This place is remote, so please forgive us if we are not hospitable enough."

After asking him some more questions about disaster relief, Bai Qianxi and the others understood the situation here and knew that he, like them, had also built a shelter in the city to accommodate refugees. "You've done a great job. Keep it up. If you need anything, you can write to the imperial capital."

Upon hearing this, the city lord was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

Letting them retreat, Ye Beiling looked at Bai Qianxi again, "I won't follow you the rest of the way. These two secret guards have been following me all the time. From today on, they will follow you."

Bai Qianxi didn't expect Ye Beiling to be so generous, but this was not something she could accept. "No, I can still guarantee my own safety. It's a waste of talent for these two secret guards to follow me, and it won't be convenient for you if you have something else to do."

These secret guards followed Ye Beiling, not only to protect his safety, but also to be responsible for transmitting messages between Ye Beiling and Emperor Dongli.

Hearing Bai Qianxi's concern, Ye Beiling's lips curled up slightly.

But he didn't want to hear her next words, and the smile on his face faded, "Bai Qianxi, don't forget that you are still my partner. If something happens to you, who should I cooperate with?"

"It is my responsibility to protect you. Do you want me to break my promise?"

Bai Qianxi never expected that Ye Beiling would use this sentence to pressure her, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes for a moment.

"Xi'er, since His Highness is willing to give it to you, just accept it." When Bai Qianxi was still trying to find a way to refuse, Bai Yulang also spoke up.

When he heard Ye Beiling's words, his eyes lit up with excitement. He had known about the secret guards for a long time, but he saw it with his own eyes today.

With these secret guards escorting them, their journey back will definitely be smooth!
Bai Qianxi glared at Bai Yulang fiercely. Why was he butting in when there was nothing to do?

“It’s settled.” Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, Ye Beiling set off directly.

The two secret guards greeted Bai Qianxi and then quickly hid in the dark.

Bai Qianxi sighed, what was going on?

"Let's go too." Bai Qianxi said.

The city lord reluctantly saw him off all the way to the city gate.

"Boss, is that you?" Just as Bai Qianxi said goodbye to the city lord and was about to mount her horse, a cautious voice sounded from the side.

Bai Qianxi subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Xiao Nan, why is it you? It's so dangerous outside now. Why do you want to come back to visit your family?"

"Is there something urgent?"

Hearing Bai Qianxi's concerned words, Xiaonan shook his head slightly, "It's not a visit to relatives, we were fired, and we have no place to live in the imperial capital, so we thought of coming back first."

"It just so happens that the current situation is like this, and I am a little worried about my family."

"Fired? How could that be?" Bai Qianxi was puzzled. This kid always worked hard and she had no intention of letting him go.

Bai Wangqi also looked over. The affairs of the herbal medicine shop had always been entrusted to her by her master.

Although she chose to follow her master this time, she also gave clear instructions about the herbal medicine shop, but never asked for anyone to be fired.

"It's not just me... Sister Chunhua... many other people have been fired." Xiaonan lowered his head and then spoke in a low voice, "Boss, please make the decision for us. We haven't done anything wrong..."

Bai Qianxi and Bai Wangqi looked at each other, and both realized that something was wrong.

"What on earth is going on? Tell me in detail!" Bai Wangqi said sternly, "I didn't even let you go, who would dare to let you go!"

Seeing the familiar people, Xiaonan couldn't hold back her tears any longer, "Seventh Sister..."
