At the moment Li Hongli, Yueyin, Yelu, Ying Liang, Ying Yue and of course Lan, Xiang, Lixue had already arrived at the gate of Huanxi city, they had made a full two-day journey, they had already made a full two-day journey, they arrived in the city of Huanxi at noon.
Lan, Xiang, and Lixue could not be seen by the people there because Lixue used his illusion to hide their existence.
And when they reached the gates of Huanxi, they saw many people waiting in line, both on foot and by train, they all gathered in the city of Huanxi with the same goal of an annual tournament. The queue was so long and only after waiting for his final few hours was now the turn of Li Hongli and his group.
" What are your goals for this city" said the gatekeeper who confronted Li Hongli
" We came to attend the annual tournament" Li Hongli replied
" Alright, you must pay 1000 silver coins per person" the guard said indifferently
Hearing that Yelu frowned, then Ying Liang said in annoyance, "are you robbing, you are robbing, even on an ordinary day it would only take 5 silver coins for pedestrians and 50 for merchants, but now you are asking us for 1000 silver coins per person? Are you crazy"
The guard snorted in annoyance "Hmmm... If you can't afford it then scram, this place is full and no one can go in"
" You..." Appoint Ying Liang in annoyance
But before Ying Liang finished talking came a very luxurious carriage from inside the gate, which was driven by a black colored horse and which carried the carriage was very Li Hongli, Yelu, Ying Liang, and Ying Yue knew he was General Weiheng.
The guards who knew who the person who was speaking was immediately kneeling.
" Honor General Weiheng"
" What is this" asked General Weiheng because as he was passing through the capital's gate, he noticed there was a commotion there and reported it to the person inside the carriage, the man told him to find out what the problem was in that place.
politely one of the guards said, "The general of the young men can't pay the entrance fee, they're making a fuss here instead"
" he.... What do you mean you are trying to blackmail us" Ying Liang said furiously
" General, don't listen to that poor young man's bullshit" the guard exclaimed
" silent... I am not asking you to speak" General Weiheng said
" I'm sorry General"
General Weiheng did not recognize any of the young men at all because of Li Hongli, Yelu decided to wear a straw hat so that their faces were covered by that hat, in contrast to Ying Liang who did not wear any head coverings so that his handsome face was seen by many people.
Actually, there were many girls who sometimes stole eyes on Ying Liang, Ying Liang himself was only indifferent even though he knew it.
But when General Weiheng saw the young man who had spoken he was like no stranger to his face, only he forgot where he had seen that face. Actually during the five months they practiced many changes that happened to them such as their physique and face were more beautiful than before because that was why General Weiheng did not immediately recognize Ying Liang even though look at his face directly.
" What's the matter" said someone who had just stepped out of the train
" Honor the crown prince" cried General Weiheng and the others even people who were waiting in line to pay their respects to the young man who just got out of the carriage. Except for Li Hongli's entourage they just lowered their heads for a little while after that re-enforcing his head again.
Seeing what the party had just wanted to squeeze out, made the guard smile cynically.
" I'm sorry prince if servant is presumptuous, look they don't even pay your respects" the guard said provokingly.
When General Weiheng wanted to act and punish those who did not respect his master, Prince Xin first prevented him.
When he heard the guard's words earlier Ying Liang was eager to hit the guard's head, if only Li Hongli did not stop him.
Prince Xin or Xin Zhuo looked at the entourage of people who did not pay him any respect in the slightest, he felt astonished not to be surprised to see them not paying their respects to him, he only felt astonished because he felt familiar with the troupe, but because they were wearing headgear made him unable to see their faces.
As he looked at Ying Liang he felt more and more confident about knowing the young man's entourage, but he forgot where he had seen Ying Liang's face, but when he saw one of the young man's golden hair he felt increasingly convinced the group was a group of people he knew very well.
" Golden hair, only one person has that hair he is...." Inner Xin Zhuo
" Now explain what this is about"
" Their prince can't pay the entrance fee to this city and make a fuss, please their law prince" said the guard pretending that Li Hongli's group was at fault. And he silently smiled hearing Xin Zhuo's next remark.
" What did he say was true? you can get a punishment if any of you lie" actually he spoke like that not only to Li Hongli's entourage but a warning to those guards.
" It's not true that the prince wanted to blackmail us by asking for 1000 pieces of silver for the entrance fee into the city" Yelu said
" Is that really?"
" No the prince is not right, hey if you can't pay, you don't have to slander us" he said in a hurry for fear of his lies being exposed.
Xin Zhuo walked up to one of the young men, he stopped before the golden-haired young man, "Is what the guard said true brother Li"
Actually the guards and the people there thought Xin Zhuo wanted to teach the young man a lesson, but his remark left many people shocked, and also confused. Same thing with General Weiheng, because he knew there was only one person whose master called by that name.
" What the young man may be...." Inner General Weiheng
" What the guard said was true" Li Hongli's remark made everyone shocked, and made the guard feel the upper hand, but Li Hongli's subsequent remarks made his sense of pleasure disappear.
" He didn't just ask us for 1000 silver coins per person, but he also said the city was full and we could not enter into what city anymore with the clothes we were wearing now" Li Hongli said indifferently
" No, the prince that poor young man told me lies"
" Why don't you ask the people who are still waiting here, who are honest and who are lying. And you cut off their tongues if they dare to lie" Yueyin said chiming in with Li Hongli's words
" Well..... Master and miss are indeed a very perfect couple" Ying Yue inner with admiration
" you're here.... Tell me the truth otherwise I'll cut your tongue out" Xin Zhuo told someone in line.
" Ba-baik prince.." The man told him all the true events without being subtracted or added in the least by him. After finding out what his problem was Xin Zhuo became so furious that he approached the guard and kicked him so hard that he threw the guard far enough away and vomited a few gulps of blood
BAMM
" Cut off his tongue and one hand" he ordered General Weiheng
" Good prince"
" This is a warning to you, if you dare to do what the guard did, I will not hesitate to kill you" he exclaimed
" Brother Li, sorry for the carelessness of those guards, come with me. You and your entourage don't have to pay the entrance fee" Xin Zhuo said
" Hmm" Li Hongli followed Xin Zhuo who was followed by the others.
