Chapter 395 This person is crazyChapter 1379: Harvesting the Flowers

No matter how unhappy he was inside, Zhou Ping'an had to admit that he had been impetuous.

He said, "Outside is a tight net. We can't even fly if we had wings. Although we are still safe for now, the Prince has arrived in Jincheng. If King Ning doesn't catch us, he will go mad absolutely. Right now, we are using Cai He's identity as King Ning's concubine to stay safe for a while, but if he truly goes mad, the people below won't be able to bear the pressure and will sooner or later search here."

"The longer we delay, the greater the risk becomes, how can I not be anxious"

Zhou Ping'an replied, "But precisely because of this, we can't panic. You all know that what we should do most now is to join forces with the Crown Prince. The King Ning wouldn't be unaware of this, would he So contacting the Crown Prince is a necessity, but it absolutely can't be us two unarmed people who do it. And Jian Xin comes and goes like a ghost, disappearing for an entire day today. Relying on him is probably out of the question. Therefore, we have to find another way."

Zhou Ping'an grinned at Zhou Changshou, and said, "Second brother, think about it, who is the only one who can help us now"

As soon as the words left his mouth, both Zhou Ping'an and Zhou Changshou, brothers, looked at Cai He simultaneously.

Cai He was immediately at a loss for words, her eyes widening in bewilderment.

Early the next morning, the back door of this unassuming little courtyard creaked open. An ordinary carriage rattled out onto the road.

No sooner had he walked out than a group of patrolling soldiers intercepted him.

Stop, submit to inspection.

The lead soldier, expressionless, stopped the carriage with a curt gesture.

Those at the top take advantage of others, and it is those below who suffer.

The officials kept pressuring them to go out and search for the missing person every single day. But Jin City, and indeed the entire fiefdom, wasn't that large. They had searched every nook and cranny of it several times over, almost wishing they could uproot every earthworm to interrogate it. Yet, they couldn't find anyone.

The harder it is to find something, the greater the pressure from above becomes, and their lives become increasingly difficult.

The constant pressure and scolding from superiors have left all the soldiers feeling resentful.

"What are you doing Where are you going"

The soldier asked, his face grim.

The veteran coachman, unfazed by the guards, pulled out a pass from his bosom and said, “My young mistress is a guest of the Prince's Mansion. This time, she is going to the mansion to see the Prince.”

Though Cai He was a concubine of King Ning, she belonged to the lowest kind, not even having a name.

That is why she was not qualified to live in the Prince's Mansion and could only live outside, arranged by Zhou Changshou, who used to be King Ning's confidant.

Although their identities remain undisclosed, most people within the fiefdom are aware of the existence of these several women.

The soldier's expression improved slightly upon hearing this. He took the pass and inspected it carefully. Finding nothing amiss, he returned it to the driver and said, "Since you are a guest of the prince, we will naturally not obstruct you. It would also be inappropriate to inspect your carriage. However, according to regulations, we must send someone with you to the palace. We need to personally see your young mistress get out of the carriage and enter the palace before we can check the carriage."

From within the carriage, a crisp female voice echoed, "Yes."

The soldier waved his hand. "Let him pass! Wang Er, you take two brothers to follow up and execute the mission."

The head soldier named Wang Er immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "I'll go right away."

Three soldiers followed the carriage, heading straight for the prince's mansion.nji remained calm and unmoved, as solid as a mountain.It seemed to sense Li Chen's gaze, Zhao Xuanji opened his eyes and said lightly, "Though a killing weapon is indeed sharp, if used improperly it c...
