Facing the "heartfelt invitation" from the King of Han, everyone except Zhou Li and Tang Wan "enthusiastically declined." The King of Han was also pleased to see this, and Liu Gong lent his residence at Taiying to the group for their stay.
Soon, under the escort of a few armored soldiers from the Three Thousand Camp, Zhou Li and his two companions walked the streets of Taiying with the King of Han, heading towards the center of the city.
The King of Han rode a tall, large horse as dark as night, and the man in the Python Robe exuded a sharpness like that of iron cavalry despite sitting on a horse. He held the reins and began a casual conversation, saying,
"Qianyun, did you run from the Capital City to Beiliang just for this Young Master Zhou?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qianyun on another horse fell silent for a moment, then nodded.
"You don't want to marry the Crown Prince?"
