While Wei Linyuan was talking to Lord Zhang, Shen Nianyi quietly activated the system's screen recording function. She thought to herself, "This meeting is of great historical significance to the Tianqi Dynasty."

After Lord Zhang carefully put away the documents, he ordered the servants of Zhenweizhai to present delicacies, mainly beef and mutton, and even some beef and mutton dairy products. These delicacies had long been lost in Yehancheng, and they were all brought from Northern Qi.

However, Shen Nianyi seemed to have no interest in the delicious food in front of him. He just tasted a few bites casually and then turned to secretly admire Wei Linyuan's expression while eating.

This seemingly ordinary peace talk actually concealed the mystery of the deal and ended quietly in a harmonious atmosphere. Of course, this was inseparable from the so-called "miracle" displayed by Shen Nian Yi.

After obtaining the ceasefire conditions proposed by Wei Linyuan, Lord Zhang and his attendants were eager to return to Qilin City.

For them, the ceasefire terms were certainly important, but what was even more shocking was that they witnessed the occurrence of a miracle with their own eyes.

Even though the goddess had told them to keep a low profile, this matter had to be reported to the Third Prince so that he could make more efforts to make friends with this mysterious goddess.

In addition, the plan to deal with the Xiao family must be suspended. Even if His Majesty the Emperor wants to eradicate the Xiao family, the Third Prince must come forward to ensure it, and there must be traces to be followed so that he can take credit for it to the "Goddess" in the future.

Xiao Mohan, who was far away in Qilin City, sneezed, thinking someone was scolding him, but he didn't know that the fate of their Xiao family was temporarily preserved.

Watching the backs of Lord Zhang and his attendants riding out of the city, Shen Nianyi felt a sense of inexplicable worry, as if something was still unclear. She stared at the team that was moving farther and farther away, until she could no longer see Lord Zhang and his group, then she slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Wei Linyuan beside her.

"Lord Governor, do you think they can reach Qilin City safely?" Shen Nian asked softly, with a barely perceptible hint of worry in his tone.

Wei Linyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Ah Shen and I have the same idea. Don't worry, with my Dongchang elite secretly escorting us, there shouldn't be any big problems."

However, just as he finished speaking, several black horses galloped past them. These horses were tall and mighty, and the sound of their hooves resounded through the sky, as if they were going to tear the earth apart. The people on the horses were all wearing dark flying fish suits, with a nimble figure and agile movements. They held sharp blades in their hands, and their eyes revealed a fierce aura that made people shudder.

Wei Linyuan nodded, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. These secret guards of the East Factory were all elites that he had carefully trained. They were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also loyal to him.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, lifting Shen Nianyi's skirt and hair. She stood there quietly, her beautiful face looking particularly attractive in the sun. Wei Linyuan stared at her silently, with a complex emotion in his heart.

Shen Nianyi was relieved about the Northern Qi envoy, so he asked another question: "Master Governor, why didn't you agree to let them return Qilin City just now?"

Wei Linyuan chuckled, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but his voice was deliberately soft: "Ah Shen, if the emperor knows that there is no worry about the northern border, then I will definitely be his first target to eliminate."

Although Shen Nianyi was not good at this, she suddenly understood after Wei Linyuan's guidance. She understood a little better. Wei Linyuan's situation was much more dangerous than she thought. However, she still said four words calmly with a normal expression: "You will not die." This sentence was like a judgment from the gods, full of unquestionable firmness.

Wei Linyuan's heart was slightly shaken, but a bitter smile appeared on his face: "The road back to the capital is full of unknowns and dangers. Ah Shen, have you really made up your mind?"

Shen Nian pinched his fingers and said firmly, "Yes."

After hearing this, Wei Linyuan couldn't help but smile with relief. He knew that with Shen Nian Yi as his chess piece, he would be even more invincible.

Shanhaiguan is a natural mountain barrier that separates Tianqi and Northern Qi.

The only thing connecting the two countries is the canyon connecting Yehan City and Qilin City, which is like a natural barrier between the two cities.

The road in the canyon is very smooth, which is obviously the result of careful man-made repair and widening. The slopes on both sides of the road are steep and precipitous, which makes people feel daunted, but many plants and green trees are cleverly planted on the slopes, adding a touch of vitality to the whole canyon.

It was a cold winter, and the ground was covered with snow. Having just experienced a fierce war, this once busy passage now looked particularly desolate and lonely.

Master Zhang led two attendants and rode cautiously through the center of the canyon. They did not dare to gallop, but could only walk in small steps, fearing that the sound of horse hooves would cause an echo in the canyon and cause a terrible avalanche. After all, taking such a huge risk just to pursue a little speed increase was really not worth it.

However, on this road that everyone thought would be safe, a group of people suddenly appeared and blocked Lord Zhang and his group.

Seeing the masked men, Lord Zhang's heart sank. He racked his brain for a long time but couldn't figure out who wanted to kill him at this critical moment.

So, after a fierce battle, Lord Zhang deeply realized that no matter who these people were instructed by, their only goal was to disrupt the peace talks. This matter was not something he could solve by begging for mercy, after all, it was a dead end anyway. When he thought of this, he decided to take advantage of the chaos to give a look to the ordinary-looking attendant, and then pretended to be intentionally broken through by the other party, trying to attract all the hatred to himself, so as to win a glimmer of life for that person. After all, at this moment, the "truce letter" had already been handed over to that person for safekeeping.

However, things in the world are always so coincidental. Unexpectedly, just when poor Lord Zhang was chopped, he suddenly saw a group of people wearing Apocalypse Flying Fish suits rushing out from the horizon behind him. At this time, Lord Zhang regretted it very much. He really shouldn't have given up his life so early!

In this way, Wei Linyuan's Dongchang assassins successfully protected the crucial "truce letter", but unfortunately, they failed to save Mr. Zhang who died heroically...
