After Si Lili entered the guest room, Zhen Ping retreated and closed the door.

After entering the house, Si Lili put down the package and sat next to Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan immediately smelled a familiar scent of agarwood.

Chen Guang is a kind of incense specially used by Zuixianju. The fragrance has a long aftertaste, is not easy to dissipate, and is refreshing, which can arouse people's desires.

This incense is very expensive and only the courtesan is qualified to use it.

Li Chengyuan likes this smell very much, especially Si Lili's mature body paired with this fragrance, which is really very tempting.

Li Chengyuan had already prepared bowls and chopsticks for Si Lili.

After Si Lili sat down, Li Chengyuan handed her the bowl and chopsticks.

Si Lili took a look at the dishes and was stunned again.

Because the bowl and chopsticks were actually made of jade!

And it’s not just ordinary “870” jade.

The jade bowl in Si Lili's hand was crystal clear, with a round and shiny surface. It was obviously made of top-grade jade, which even ordinary wealthy people could not afford.

More importantly, this jade bowl is engraved with a dragon pattern, which is a pattern that only the royal family can use!

It is obvious that these jade bowls and chopsticks were brought out by Li Chengyuan from the palace.

If there was just a jade bowl, Si Lili wouldn't be particularly shocked.

A jade bowl was most likely carried by Li Chengyuan.

But all the plates on the table are made of jade!

Moreover, the fine wine and delicious food on the table were obviously not something that could be produced by this wilderness inn.

Could it be that all these wine, food and tableware were brought by Li Chengyuan from Kyoto?

Isn't this too luxurious?

Seeing Si Lili stunned, Li Chengyuan stuffed the chopsticks into her hand and asked in confusion: "What are you thinking? Don't worry, the dishes and chopsticks are clean and no one has used them!"

Si Lili opened her mouth, but swallowed the question that was on the tip of her tongue.

She is a smart woman who knows what to ask and what not to ask.

Looking at Li Chengyuan, Si Lili's eyes seemed to be filled with autumn water.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Lili is just a little shocked. Why is Your Highness here?"

"That's a long story!" Li Chengyuan took a bite of his food and explained, "Actually, I've been following you the entire time. Ever since you left the city, you've been within my tracking range!"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili took a breath and suddenly realized something.

Si Lili was not surprised that Li Chengyuan could monitor her whereabouts.

After all, Li Chengyuan is a prince, and an ambitious prince at that.

Such a person must have his own intelligence organization in Kyoto.

Therefore, if Li Chengyuan keeps sending people to monitor her, then no matter how smart she is, she will not be able to escape Li Chengyuan's surveillance.

Si Lili pursed her lips, revealing a pitiful expression, and said with a hint of resentment, "Your Highness is taking so much trouble to follow me, are you trying to capture me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan reached out and pinched Si Lili's pretty face, then asked, "Do you think I'm such a dishonest person?"

"Hmm!" Si Lili blushed slightly at Li Chengyuan's affectionate gestures, and couldn't help but pout, "Then why is Your Highness chasing me?"

Li Chengyuan rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think? Of course I'll save you!"

"Save me?" Si Lili looked a little puzzled.

"Of course!" Li Chengyuan picked up a piece of meat for Si Lili and said softly, "You don't think I'm the only one who's caught up with you, do you?"

Si Lili frowned in confusion and said, "Who else could it be besides His Highness? Although Lili is not very smart, she thinks that her escape method is absolutely no problem. With just those people from the Inspection Institute, they will never be able to find Lili!"

"Well, not bad!" Li Chengyuan praised: "Your method of escaping is indeed amazing. The Inspection Office was indeed fooled by you. But unfortunately, you met someone smarter than the Inspection Office!"

"Someone smarter than the Inspection Office? Who is that?" Si Lili asked in confusion.

Li Chengyuan was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

Si Lili was startled and was about to stand up, but was held down by Li Chengyuan.

Li Chengyuan leaned close to Si Lili's ear, smelling her refreshing body fragrance, and whispered, "Someone smarter than the Inspection Office is here!"

Si Lili's expression changed and she immediately looked towards the door nervously.

The people coming out of the door were Fan Xian and Wang Qinian.

Originally, Fan Xian had no intention of coming to the inn to rest. Now his mind was full of catching people!

But Wang Qinian dragged Fan Xian in.

When it comes to tracking, Wang Qinian is indeed more experienced.

Of course, Wang Qinian didn’t know that Si Lili was here.

But Wang Qinian knew that Si Lili would not be able to get far if she escaped on horseback.

Because people don't get tired, but horses do.

If the horses do not have spare ones, they can only run and stop, and need to be fed concentrated feed from time to time.

In this way, if Si Lili also passed by the inn, she would definitely stop to rest, or at least let the horse eat and drink enough.

So no matter whether Si Lili is in the inn or not, there will definitely be news about her here.

That's why Wang Qinian pulled Fan Xian in.

Because the waiter was replaced by Zhen Ping, there was no misunderstanding this time. Zhen Ping directly took Fan Xian and Wang Qinian to a guest room a little further away to ensure that they would not discover Li Chengyuan and Si Lili.

...

Hearing no more noise outside, Si Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned nervously and asked Li Chengyuan, "Your Highness, do you know who is outside the door?"

"Of course!" Li Chengyuan returned to his seat and said while eating, "The person outside the door is Fan Xian. You haven't seen him before, but he should be familiar to you!"

"Fan Xian?!" Si Lili was startled. "The Fan Xian who was ambushed by Cheng Jushu and then beheaded in the street?"

"That's right!" Li Chengyuan said, "Theoretically, you are his enemy, and you are the only person who knows about the Niulan Street case. He dreams of catching you now!"

Si Lili suddenly felt overwhelmed and asked in confusion, "This doesn't make sense! How did he find me?"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "This is nothing strange. Although your method of escape is mysterious, it is full of loopholes in the eyes of truly intelligent people!"

Si Lili was very dissatisfied when she heard this and asked, "For example?"

"For example, you could have escaped secretly, but you chose to burn the flower boat. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence would have figured out that you were trying to alert the enemy!

You want to draw everyone's attention to the north, and then quietly leave!"

Si Lili was stunned for a moment, but still a little unconvinced, "Then why should I do this? Wouldn't it be better if I just left quietly?"

Li Chengyuan said calmly, "Because you know very well that the northern armies are currently in a standoff, and all the passes leading to Northern Qi are under martial law. If you go directly there, it will be difficult for you to pass the inspection.

So you can only make a feint to the east and attack the west, heading north on the surface, but actually heading east. If I'm not mistaken, you plan to go to Danzhou and then take a boat back to Northern Qi!"

Si Lili stared with shock in her eyes...

Obviously, Li Chengyuan guessed everything right!

Staring at Li Chengyuan, Si Lili once again felt the shock she felt when she first met Li Chengyuan.

At that time, Li Chengyuan guessed all her secrets because she had drugged him.

It was the same this time. She didn't say anything, but Li Chengyuan saw through all her thoughts.

This kind of crushing IQ really made Si Lili feel unprecedented pressure and frustration!

At this moment, Si Lili really felt that she was conquered by Li Chengyuan from the inside out!

Si Lili sighed and said, "I really admire your Highness's talent, but I can understand that you can guess what's in Lili's mind with your wisdom.

But how can she find Fan Xian outside? "

Li Chengyuan replied: "Because he is just like me, a smart person!"

Si Lili stopped talking.

Although she was still a little dissatisfied in her heart, she believed that Li Chengyuan would not lie to her in this regard.

Looking at Si Lili who pursed her lips, Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "How is it? Do you believe that I am here to save you this time?"

Upon hearing this, Si Lili curled her lips and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Lili naturally believes in Your Highness, but Lili also believes in herself.

Although Fan Xian chased after her, Lili was very surprised.

But even if His Highness doesn't come, Lili is confident she can escape Fan Xian's pursuit!"

Li Chengyuan smiled faintly.

After all, Si Lili still refused to admit defeat.

In other words, Si Lili was unwilling to be his "captive"!

Shaking his head, Li Chengyuan ruthlessly exposed Si Lili's little thoughts.

"What do you mean by surety? Are you referring to the bandits hiding in Armored Hill?"

blah blah blah!

Si Lili was so shocked that the chopsticks in her hand fell directly onto the table.

"Your Highness, do you know all this?"

Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "Oh, I not only know this, I also know that these bandits are probably your spies from Northern Qi, right?

They have been lurking here just to help you escape!

These people should be quite skilled in martial arts, otherwise you wouldn't be so confident!"

"......" Si Lili's pretty face turned pale and she said, "Your Highness, you are so smart that it really scares me!"

"Um...1.3 You misunderstood!" Li Chengyuan explained, "The Pijiaqiu bandit incident wasn't my analysis; it was my people who investigated it!"

Hearing this, Si Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief.
