Li Luo ignored the other party and did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
After the city gates opened, he and the city guards led the refugees to orderly enter Northern Liang City.
He also dispatched people from the prince's residence to open granaries and distribute grain.
The 300,000 refugees who came in also entered the city in good order after getting Li Luo's assurance.
The whole process went smoothly without any chaos.
Li Luo personally opened the granaries and provided relief to the refugees.
The residents of Northern Liang City unanimously gave Li Luo a thumbs up, praising him.
Li Luo was already deeply loved by the common people in Northern Liang City.
His actions this time undoubtedly further elevated his status in the hearts of the common people.
Over the past decade, Li Luo had advised Li Beixiong to reduce taxes and encourage production among the common people in the city.
And Li Beixiong, out of his indulgence for Li Luo, had fully taken Li Luo's advice.
This allowed Northern Liang to still maintain abundant food supplies amidst the turbulent times of war.
The local residents even took out their own food supplies to provide relief to the refugees, hoping to reduce the burden on the prince's residence.
It could be said that there was a unity of hearts between the officials and common people in Northern Liang City.
The two women walking in Northern Liang City saw this scene and couldn't help but nod to themselves.
"It seems the prince and the prince's residence of Northern Liang are truly deeply loved by the common people!" Qing'er said in surprise.
In their travels through many dynasties, no other regional government, let alone dynasty, was better than Northern Liang, except for Northern Liang itself.
The veiled woman nodded slightly, glanced at Li Luo's busy back figure in the distance, with a hint of strangeness flashing in her eyes.
"You three have been staring at us for so long, still not looked enough?"
The veiled woman smiled slightly. Her voice was extremely pleasant, like tinkling mountain streams, soothing to the ear.
The woman had just finished speaking when Li Ergou, Lu Renjia and Shan Pao appeared, looking warily at the two women before them.
The three of them had been secretly observing the two women since they entered.
Li Luo, who was busy distributing grain for disaster relief in the distance, also stopped his work when he saw Li Ergou and the other two, and came over.
Li Luo smiled slightly and said, "Would the two of you like to come to the prince's residence for a seat?"
"Sure!" Qing'er readily agreed.
The veiled woman beside her rolled her eyes at Qing'er.
Then she looked at Li Luo and said, "Does the Prince invite every woman he sees on the street back to the residence for a seat?"
"Uh... not like that..."
"I saw that the two ladies have extraordinary bearings, so they are unlikely to be common women. That's why I extended this invitation."
After hearing the veiled woman's words, Li Luo smiled awkwardly and quickly explained.
What did she take him for?!
Was he some kind of beast who hauled women home whenever he saw them?!
Seeing Li Luo's embarrassed expression, the corners of the veiled woman's mouth under the veil couldn't help but lift up in a faint smile. Then she said,
"Thank you for the Prince's kind intentions, but my sister and I have been away from home for too long, so it's time we headed back."
"Please pardon us, Prince."
Seeing that she declined, Li Luo was too lazy to continue inviting them.
Now he hoped that they would leave as soon as possible.
Having two suspected Void Realm masters staying in his Northern Liang made him quite uneasy.
"Haha..."
"It's fine. If the ladies come to my Northern Liang City again to play in the future, feel free to look for me anytime."
Li Luo politely replied.
The veiled woman nodded slightly.
"Then my sister and I will take our leave first, Prince..."
Speaking, the veiled woman headed towards the city gate, with Qing'er reluctantly following behind.
She still hadn't had enough fun, and now they had to leave.
"May I ask for the ladies' names?"
Li Luo blurted out.
The veiled woman stopped and looked back at Li Luo.
"Zi Yun!"
After speaking, Zi Yun left Northern Liang City with Qing'er.
After they left, Li Luo ordered people to investigate the name Zi Yun.
But as he expected, the people he sent to investigate came back empty-handed.
...
Outside the city, the two women who left Northern Liang City walked on the road.
"Miss, why didn't you go to the prince's residence for a seat?"
"I feel like the Prince is quite interesting!"
Qing'er asked in puzzlement.
Zi Yun poked Qing'er's head with her jade finger and said impatiently,
"You just know how to play around!"
"We've sneaked out of the Upper Realm for so long, it's time we headed back."
"Otherwise, when the experts of the clan come down to find us, I'm afraid it would implicate these people of the Lower Realm."
"Oh..."
Hearing Zi Yun's words, Qing'er nodded, recalling the terrifying power behind her young miss.
Zi Yun looked back at Northern Liang City. She didn't know why, but she always felt that she would meet Li Luo again.
Even she herself didn't know why she had this feeling.
Then, the two women's figures instantly disappeared...
After settling the refugees until nightfall, Li Luo returned to the prince's residence with Li Ergou and the other two.
"Oh, my good son, you must be exhausted!"
"Quick, sit down. Dad will massage your shoulders for you."
"Quick, prepare a banquet for the Prince!"
Seeing Li Luo's return, Li Beixiong's face revealed a look of distress. He hurriedly beckoned Li Luo to sit down and give him a massage, while ordering people to prepare food.
"It's fine."
"Not too tiring."
Having just sat down, Li Luo enjoyed the service given by his dad.
He had to say, his dad's skills were getting more and more proficient, massaging him feels so comfortable.
Li Luo recalled the intelligence Zhao Xu had revealed today, so he informed Li Beixiong about it.
After listening to Li Luo's words, Li Beixiong lewdly laughed.
"Hehe..."
"My son, just rest assured!"
"Han Yi is still our man after all."
"I deliberately let him get recruited by King Qi."
"This way he could gain King Qi's trust."
"Otherwise, if King Qi eliminated him, I would have to go through the trouble of inserting another spy by his side again."
Li Luo stared wide-eyed in disbelief at his own dad.
Damn! A double agent!
King Qi probably would never have imagined this.
The one he recruited was still a mole in the end.
As expected of his dad.
"However..."
Suddenly, Li Beixiong stopped and waved his big hand.
Several guards brought in a maid kneeling in front of Li Luo.
This maid was none other than Xiaoli, the spy King Qi had planted in the prince's residence.
"My son, I'll leave her handling to you!"
Li Beixiong looked at Xiaoli kneeling with her head lowered without a word, and said in a deep voice.
Li Luo immediately waved his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Drag her out and kill her!"
"Yes!"
Several guards directly took the silent Xiaoli away.
Seeing this, a look of gratification appeared on Li Beixiong's face.
This was his good son!
Ruthlessly decisive, without the slightest trace of feminine benevolence!
His good son was already possessed of the bearing of an emperor.
He could finally rest assured and start planning the imperial throne of Liang Kingdom for his good son.
Tomorrow would be the time for them of Northern Liang to bare their fangs!!
