"Brother Boyang, are you leaving? Let me see you off."
Seeing Shen Rong holding Li Boyang's arm and preparing to leave, Chen Youliang breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally gotten away with it this time. He quickly caught up with her and asked politely.
"No need to see me off. In the future, be more careful and don't mess with the wrong people."
Since Shen Rong was unharmed, Li Boyang had no intention of killing Chen Youliang. It wasn't that he was so magnanimous; the reason was ultimately because of the Yuan Dynasty.
At present, Chen Youliang controls Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi and other territories, with an army of over 200,000. It can be said that among all the warlords at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang is the most powerful, second only to Zhang Shicheng.
Occupying such a large territory, Chen Youliang's Red Turban Army tied up a considerable amount of the Yuan Dynasty's forces, making it one of the pillars of the Red Turban Army.
If he were to kill Chen Youliang himself, there would be too many variables. If it caused a chain reaction of collapses in the rebel army and allowed the Yuan Dynasty to suppress this wave of rebellion, he really didn't know when he would be able to fulfill his wish of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty.
After careful consideration, Li Boyang decided to let Chen Youliang go. As for Chen Youliang's hatred towards him, that was completely outside Li Boyang's consideration.
Regardless of whether the other party has the guts to cause trouble, once Zhu Yuanzhang rises to power, Chen Youliang's death is imminent.
"Absolutely, absolutely, Brother Boyang, rest assured, I would never dare to cause trouble for Miss Shen again, even if you gave me a hundred lives."
He bowed and scraped as he saw Li Boyang and Shen Rong off from the military camp. Only after they had disappeared from sight did Chen Youliang sigh and think to himself that he had finally gotten rid of this plague.
The moment Li Boyang left, Chen Youliang's face instantly turned ruthless. He turned and went back to the military camp, clearly preparing to cause trouble.
After leaving the military camp, Li Boyang and Shen Rong found Liu Bowen, and the three of them headed towards Jinling.

Chapter 121 The Banks of the Qinhuai River
Ten days later.
Three pedestrians arrived outside the city wall on Jiqing Road.
"We've finally arrived."
These three people are naturally Li Boyang, Shen Rong, and Liu Bowen.
Jiqing Road is the site of Jinling City.
The Yuan Dynasty's rule over Nanjing has not yet ended, so Jiqing Road is the official name.
However, people living in the city now prefer to call it Jinling in private, so the name Jinling City has been accepted by everyone.
Jinling City is a large city, with sixteen gates in the outer city alone. Li Boyang and his party have now arrived at the East Gate.
They had already reached the city gate, but seeing Shen Rong still clinging to his arm, Li Boyang criticized her with a slightly stern tone:
"Shen Rong, be mindful of your behavior. I am your teacher."
Shen Rong held Li Boyang's left arm with both hands, pursed her lips, and replied:
"I'm not afraid at all. Let them look if they want. They have eyes on their own bodies, and I can't control them."
In fact, Shen Rong had a little plan in mind. Once they entered Jinling City, there were quite a few people in Jinling City who knew her. She wanted to create a misunderstanding so that everyone would know that Li Boyang was the person she liked.
The Shen family is a behemoth in Jinling City. Once everyone knows about this, and with her own admission, Li Boyang will be unable to defend himself.
"I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this."
Li Boyang could easily see through Shen Rong's little scheme. He frowned and spoke in a harsher tone.
"He's showing off his power again."
Shen Rong stuck out her tongue before reluctantly lowering her hands.
Seeing that something was amiss, Liu Bowen quickly smoothed things over by saying, "Miss Shen, where in Jinling City do you live? Let my teacher and I take you home first."
Shen Rong replied, "It's near Xishuiguan, on the banks of the Qinhuai River."
"Let's get into the city quickly. We'll take you home first, and then we'll find a place to stay."
Upon hearing Shen Rong reveal her address, Li Boyang didn't hesitate and led the two through the city gate into Jinling City.
Upon entering Jinling, one is greeted by a flat bluestone avenue, lined with three- or four-story shops on both sides, where people come and go, creating a bustling and vibrant atmosphere.
The streets were bustling with people, and every now and then you could see three or five women wearing thin gauze dresses, their undergarments barely visible beneath the fabric.
The word "war" seemed to be completely foreign to Nanjing. Looking at the stark contrast between Nanjing and the Central Plains, Liu Bowen unconsciously recited a line:
"Jiangnan is a land of beautiful scenery, and has been a capital for emperors since ancient times."
"The silly scholar is in love."
Shen Rong chuckled upon hearing this and said:
"I know quite a few beautiful and wealthy young ladies in Nanjing. I'll introduce you to a few another day."
This is not a lie. Shen Rong grew up in Jinling. Shen Wansan was the richest man in Jiangnan. Birds of a feather flock together, and her playmates were naturally many young ladies from wealthy families and daughters of officials.
Liu Bowen was merely expressing his feelings; it wasn't that he was lovesick. Shen Rong's words made him blush, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer out:
Confucius said: "Food and sex are human nature."
Shen Rong smiled even more brightly and said:
