Xiao Chen glanced at his face with annoyance, "Hurry up and put on the human skin mask."
"Yes." The man picked up the mask and put it on his face.
Xiao Chen also took off his outer robe, revealing a light and comfortable dark purple outfit.
He dared not linger any longer, and in a great hurry, he flew up to the roof beam and slipped out of the palace.
The man in black following closely behind him whispered, "Your Highness, rest assured, Ye Jian will definitely find Miss Nan first."
...
Nanqianyue rode his camel at breakneck speed all the way to He County, where it was already dawn.
The hunchback is almost exhausted.
When she moved south, she covered half her face with a handkerchief, exchanged a bracelet full of pearls for a horse at the stable, and gave the hunchback to the horse owner.
Mr. Ma was a kind man, and he even gave her a bag of silver as compensation.
"Thank you, boss. May I ask which direction the Northern Border is in?" Nan Qianyue asked, deliberately lowering her voice.
Mr. Ma was taken aback for a moment, then kindly reminded her, "Young lady, the Northern Territory is not safe. There was a bloody battle just the night before last."
Nanqianyue smiled and said, "I have a friend waiting for me in that direction."
Mr. Ma nodded knowingly, "I see. You just need to keep heading west."
"Thank you, boss." Nan Qianyue mounted his horse and embarked on his journey again.

"Alright!" The boss ordered his servant to lead the horses to feed them, while he began to cook noodles.
She wasn't the only one sitting in the inn; there were also several swordsmen dressed in martial arts attire, and two men dressed in matching clothes.
Nanqianyue dared not look them in the eye and sat quietly at the table.
The shopkeeper worked quickly and soon placed a steaming bowl of noodles in front of Nan Qianyue, saying, "Please enjoy, young lady."
Nan Qianyue nodded slightly, lifted her handkerchief with one hand, and picked up her chopsticks with the other. Just as she was about to eat, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the few knights had not touched the food on the table, as if they were waiting for something.
And those two men dressed in matching clothes, although they were eating, were eating extremely slowly.
A bad feeling crept into her heart again. Nan Qianyue stared at the noodles in front of her, strongly suspecting that there was something wrong with them.
