The peddler was clearly very familiar with the town, and he quickly shook off his pursuers, swinging lightly into a house.

As soon as he entered, several guards came up to him. When they saw it was him, they did not stop him and said, "The princess is waiting for you inside."

After the peddler entered, he bowed deeply to Princess Anle: "Poisonous Bee greets Your Highness!"

Princess Anle glanced at him and said, "Back then, we used some methods to place you by Ye Junfei's side. I never expected that you would come in handy now."

"You're quite good; you haven't disappointed me."

Back then, he not only placed Poison Bee by Ye Junfei's side, but also placed people in the hands of most of the hostages in the capital.

When Poison Bee was in the capital, Ye Junfei didn't need many people, so he always arranged for them to practice martial arts at his manor outside the capital.

Because he was far away from Ye Junfei, it was difficult for him to obtain useful information.

After Ye Junfei returned to Liefeng Prefecture, because he didn't have many people under his command and Poison Bee had demonstrated his abilities, he was assigned to investigate here.

The poisonous bee knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your praise, Princess."

"Now that Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan have arrived here, they have only brought ten guards with them."

“If the princess wishes to exterminate them, this servant can hold off the guards.”

Princess Anle smiled slightly upon hearing this: "You did very well this time."

"After I kill them, there will be a great reward."

The peddler bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Princess."

Princess Anle asked, "Did Ye Junfei say how you will contact each other after you disperse?"

He had heard from the peddler before that, based on Ye Junfei's previous methods, as soon as they encountered danger and dispersed, they would immediately change their appearance and attire.

Therefore, even if you know someone well, it's hard to recognize them immediately when you meet them.

They've now spread out; if they want to kill Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan, they need to lure them all out.

The peddler replied, "He has a whole set of code words for communication. As long as you can decipher those codes, you can make contact with them."

"Once we make contact, we can lure them into a trap and kill them easily."

Princess Anle asked, "What's the code for their operation this time?"

The peddler replied, "Is my wife beautiful?"

Princess Anle was taken aback: "What?"

The peddler said somewhat awkwardly, "This is Ye Junfei's code for this operation: 'Is my wife beautiful?'"

Princess Anle said speechlessly, "Is Ye Junfei out of his mind to devise such a code?"

The peddler smiled somewhat awkwardly.

In fact, when Ye Junfei usually assigned them tasks, the various code words he used were all kinds of strange and varied, leaving no clues whatsoever.

Princess Anle then asked, "And what is the code word for the reply?"

The peddler coughed lightly and said, "No, my wife is Little Sweetie."

Princess Anle: "..."

The guards: "..."

This coded way of responding is absolutely brilliant.

One of the guards couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Princess Anle curled her lip slightly and said, "How could he even come up with something like that!"

The peddler said softly, "This kind of code is to prevent people from accidentally stumbling upon it, so it's a bit strange."

Princess Anle said calmly, "They are scattered in all directions now, and it won't be easy to find them."

"They're here for Yu Zhan anyway. As long as we keep a close eye on Yu Zhan, we can catch them."

The peddler replied, "The princess is right."

Princess Anle waved her hand slightly, and the peddler left.

None of them saw that a person was lying on their side on the roof beam.

That person was none other than Lin Xiuyan, who had run away first.

The reason she ran away first was that she wanted to use this opportunity of separation to see if the peddler really had a problem.

So she deliberately wore that extremely conspicuous hair flower and ran away right under everyone's noses.

Then she went to a secluded corner, quickly removed the hair accessory, and quickly changed into an inconspicuous set of clothes.

She avoided eye contact again and quickly went to the restaurant where Princess Anle had entered.

She immediately noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered the restaurant, because she didn't encounter any guards there.

This is enough to prove that Princess Anle was not in the restaurant.

Lin Xiuyan knew after a moment's thought that the restaurant was just a front and that it was actually a front for something else.

She stood on the rooftop of the restaurant and looked out, and saw an ordinary house behind the restaurant.

The house and the restaurant were separated by only one wall, so to ordinary people they would appear to be on another street.

Just as she was about to go over, she saw the peddler running towards her.

Lin Xiuyan lowered her gaze slightly and immediately followed.

When the peddler entered the courtyard, he attracted the attention of Princess Anle and her guards, and she took the opportunity to enter their blind spot.

After leaping into the attic, she then lightly jumped from the attic onto the roof beam.

She had overheard the entire conversation between the peddler and Princess Anle.

Only then did Lin Xiuyan realize that in her previous life, it wasn't the peddler who had sided with Zhou Chenyang, but rather that he was originally Princess Anle's man.

His arrival at Zhou Chenyang's side was probably at Princess Anle's behest.

Lin Xiuyan had known before that Princess Anle was cunning, and this time she truly experienced it firsthand.

Princess Anle was definitely a talented person; she had already placed someone by Ye Junfei's side many years ago.

Ye Junfei hadn't told Lin Xiuyan the code for today, and she was speechless when she heard it.

Such coded language is truly Ye Junfei's style!

Lin Xiuyan found out what she wanted to find out, but she was also troubled when she was about to leave.

It was easy for her to get in, but it won't be easy for her to leave.

Because now, the entire mansion is filled with Princess Anle's guards.

Given her martial arts skills, it's highly unlikely she could escape unscathed.

The key point is that even if she escapes from this house now, there are still people chasing her outside.

If she stays here and doesn't come out, then she is safe for the time being.

Yu Zhan would arrive in the town around 5 PM, which was still a full hour before 5 PM.

Princess Anle rushed over today, covered in sweat. He has a severe case of mysophobia and felt very uncomfortable.

He ordered, "Someone, go and boil some hot water. I want to take a bath."

Eunuch Yu responded and immediately ordered people to begin preparations. (M.cascoo.net)

Lin Xiuyan was hiding in the roof beam in the room where Princess Anle was bathing.

From her angle, she could see the location of the bathtub.

Lin Xiuyan felt that since they were all women, there was no harm in taking a look.

She watched as Eunuch Yu led his men to bring over a bathtub, poured in hot water, and tested the temperature before saying to Princess Anle, "Princess, you may take a bath now."

"The conditions here are simple, please make do with it, Your Highness."

Princess Anle nodded slightly and raised her hand, and they all walked out.
