Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Arrive At Capital City

The trip to the Capital City took about one week. Sometimes, they stayed overnight at the inn and sometimes, they camped outside. They finally arrived at the nearby city.

It would take half a day to arrive at the Capital City from this city. So, they decided to stay for a night in the Capital City. In the morning, Bai Xifeng decided to wear the female clothes.

She could not let others know about the identity of Long Feng related to her father, Bai Xiang. It would invite trouble to her father.

"It has been a long time." Xiao Li said when she saw her young miss wearing the female clothes.

"What is the long time?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Since you wear the female clothes. I almost thought I served a male master." Xiao Li said.

Well, Bai Xifeng had never worn female clothes since she arrived at the military camp. Bai Xifeng laughed.

They traveled until they arrived at the gate. There were guards at the entrance. There were also people who tried to enter the city. It seemed they were getting money from the citizens.

"Sir, please, sir. Allow me to enter the city." A man begged the guard.

"If you want to enter the city, you should pay up." The guard stated.

"Can you let this slide one time?" The man still begged.

"If I let you enter this time without paying, others will ask for that too. Can you bear it for me?" The guard asked.

The man reluctantly took out the money and paid the guard. The guard wrote the name and allowed the man to enter.

The line moved smoothly after that. It was Bai Xiang’s turn now. Bai Xiang took out the wooden plate and showed it to the guard. At first, the guard did not know what this plate symbolized.

He then called another guard and showed the wooden plate to the other guard. The other guard’s eyes went wide. He immediately saluted Bai Xiang.

"Your Excellency, I am sorry for not recognizing earlier." The guard bowed to Bai Xiang with respect.

"It is okay. I return home with several people. Can we enter now?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Yes. Yes." The guard nodded several times.

The guards stepped away to let the carriage pass the gate. When the carriage that had been ridden by Bai Xifeng passed through, they could see that there was a beautiful woman inside the carriage. Even some commoners managed to see her.

"Hey, why those people don’t have to pay the fee? If you allow them to enter without paying, then, we should be allowed to enter without paying too." Someone from the line shouted.

"He is allowed to do so because he is General Bai Xiang who had been stationed at Xianying City. You should know his name." The guards said.

Everyone seemed to be surprised with the news. They had been hearing the news about General Bai Xiang who managed to snatch away the land at their borders which had been in the Yue Kingdom’s hand for so long.

"I saw a beautiful woman inside one of the carriages that belonged to General Bai’s earlier."

"Yeah... Yeah... I saw her too."

"Do you think that woman is General Bai’s concubine?"

"No way. I heard General Bai was very loyal to his wife even though his wife is already died."

"That woman is too young. It is right to call her a young girl."

"That young girl is probably his son’s woman."

"Yeah... Yeah... I know that he had a son who accompanied him to the military camp at such a young age."

"Oh, I heard his daughter went missing one year ago. No one could find her anywhere."

"Maybe she ran away because she did not want to get married to the fool prince."

"But she is a trash from what I heard. She is suitable for the fool prince."

"Hey, that is the old news. She already could cultivate and she is the strongest among the young generation in our country."

"What? Really? Then, it is probably true that she run away because she did not want to get married to the fool prince."

"The emperor is also muddle head. Why does he arrange the marriage like that?"

"He probably did not know about General Bai’s daughter’s ability at that moment."

"What a shame."

Bai Xiang and his group entered the city. Bai Xiang already told them that he wanted to go and meet the emperor right away to report his arrival. He also wanted to request something from the emperor.

Bai Xiang told his children that they did not need to go back to the General Bai’s Residence first. They would return home together later. So, they could relax somewhere first.

Bai Xifeng did not mind since she was eyeing on the street food at the market. It had been a long time since she was rummaging around the market.

Bai Tingfeng accompanied Bai Xifeng. Bai Tingfeng told Bai Xifeng’s subordinates that he could accompany Bai Xifeng. So they could rest at the inn.

Of course, someone did not want to leave behind. So, Liu Longwei shamelessly joined the siblings accompanied Bai Xifeng rummage the market.

Their appearances at the market caught a lot of people’s attention. Two handsome men accompanied one beautiful woman.

They wondered which family that had such outstanding son and daughter. They did not remember seeing them before.
