Chapter 180 - 96: The First Alliance in the Chaotic Era!_3
"However, young colonel, since you’re from the Xue Family yourself, and Noble Consort Xue is greatly favored by His Majesty, plus the fact that, a few days ago, you faced Yuwen Lie without a trace of cowardice and upheld the prestige of our Great Chen, His Majesty was pleased and therefore specially decreed that a family banquet be held in the palace."

"Within the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Guard and imperial guards are stationed everywhere, and if anyone acting suspiciously is found, they can be executed on the spot without needing to inform His Majesty. Colonel, do not wander off; just follow me."
Li Guanyi nodded; the Ritual Eunuch chatted with Li Guan about some of the scenery and rules within the palace.

trying to sense the direction where the Qilin was.
