Hengyang King Liu Mu's heart skipped a beat: "Not good!"

That was a blind spot for them—

Sure enough, the assassin flipped back in the air, disrupting the fighting people several times, and the formation was surrounded in front. He retreated, and there were few people behind him, so he was caught off guard by the man's backhanded spear. It was at this time that the assassin carried the people and climbed over the wall and escaped from the Hengyang Palace.

Everyone in the Hengyang Palace: "..."

I almost didn't dare to look at Prince Hengyang's expression.

While they were still feeling ashamed, the King of Hengyang had already drawn his bow again and jumped over the wall without hesitation to chase after them: "How dare you, you thief!"

Everyone was shocked: "Young Master!"

The prince is so brave, if he chases the enemy alone, what's the use of them? The prince's body is precious, if something happens to him, the whole palace will be responsible. How can the life of a small assassin be worth more than the prince? Everyone was scared and turned pale, and followed him out. The personal attendants who protected the Prince of Hengyang were even more anxious, and they jumped and jumped in the night to chase the Prince of Hengyang.

The eastern suburbs were all occupied by nobles, with vast land and numerous courtyards. The King of Hengyang was very brave and chased the assassin for a long time. He shot arrows with his bow several times. He had great strength and good timing. After a fight, the assassin was already injured. Being chased like this, Liu Mu shot him several more times.

Liu Mu was angry: I didn't hit the vital point!

The assassin was traveling with a man in the dark, and seemed to be very familiar with the terrain. The King of Hengyang and others who were chasing him were traveling through gardens and forests, and Liu Mu was a little dizzy. Liu Mu was just distracted, and when he was very worried, he was caught up by the servants behind him.

Servant A: "Sir, you must not act alone! If you get hurt again, His Majesty will kill us."

Servant B: "Sir, this is a common thing, just teach me. Please remember to take care of yourself."

Attendant C: "Sir, this is the residential area for the nobles and the royal family. You must not act rashly. It would be inappropriate to disturb the nobles."

Liu Mu was filled with anger after hearing all these words. But these people were all old people around him, and they were arranged by the late emperor, the empress dowager and others. He was tired of listening to them, so he could only hold back his anger and push them away. But if he continued to chase, it was already difficult to find the assassin's whereabouts.

Liu Mu: "It's all your fault! You're holding me back!"

"Can you guys stop following me all the time - from Hengyang to Jianye, can't you let me act alone for a moment?!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted miserably: "Master, my servants are incompetent——"

Liu Mu was furious and smashed his bow to the ground. These guards insisted that he stay behind and chase after the assassin themselves, so Liu Mu had no choice but to endure it. After chasing for a while, the servants said that the footsteps became lighter, which was very unusual. Liu Mu raised his eyebrows and watched coldly to see what they could analyze. Everyone analyzed: "The assassin's tracks became lighter here, either he has escaped to a safe place; or he and the people he rescued were separated here."

Liu Mu paused: "Separate here? Where can we divide it?"

The guard said, "To the north is Zhongshan Mountain, and to the southwest is the palace gate. This is where the nobles live. Mr. Kong said that this person is unusual, so the palace gate is the most likely direction. But the previous battle in the study showed that this person is quick-witted and good at reverse thinking. So the palace gate may be a decoy, and the possibility that he fled to Zhongshan Mountain may be higher."

Liu Mu: "..."

Although his subordinates always overprotected him and didn't want him to take any risks, they were still quite a few. At least this analysis, if he, who was not familiar with Jianye, wanted to think about it, he would not be able to make it. After reaching a conclusion, the people in the Hengyang Palace immediately split up into teams and went to search for people. The Hengyang King led most of the people to Zhongshan, which they analyzed as having a higher possibility...

Zhongshan is beautiful, and purple clouds are rising.

The day before, they lost Lu Sanlang and Lu Yun, who came with them. Luo Lingyu and Lu Erlang couldn't find them anywhere. Lu Erlang comforted them, saying, "This is common. Sanlang is elusive. You'll get used to it." Luo Lingyu had no choice but to go with Lu Erlang to meet up with the cousins. The cousins ​​came in twos and threes, and brought their familiar friends. The Han family girl who left the Lu family first even found Ningping Princess Liu Tang to play with them.

When she saw the princess for the first time, Luo Lingyu smiled but was nervous. She quietly wiped the sweat off her palms where the noble ladies couldn't see. Seeing the noble ladies talking and laughing, and not flattering the princess, Luo Lingyu had a clearer understanding of these ladies from aristocratic families: they had good family backgrounds, and in their eyes, the royal princesses were probably just a little luckier when they were reincarnated, and there was nothing special about them.

This is the confidence of the wealthy and powerful families.

Luo Lingyu was envious and became more determined to marry into a prominent family.

Princess Liu Tang of Ningping was about the same age as Luo Lingyu, and was quiet and almost shy. Luo Lingyu saw that Liu Tang seemed to be more nervous than she, a bumpkin from Nanyang, when she was invited by Han's daughter to play. Behind the princess' back, Luo Lingyu joked with Han's daughter, "I thought princesses were all arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect this princess to be so elegant and gentle."

The Han girl didn't care at all. She snorted and thought to herself, how many princesses have you met?

The gentler daughter of the Wang family smiled and introduced Luo Lingyu: "This princess is the biological sister of Prince Chen Liu Chu. Prince Chen doesn't talk much, so his sister is naturally not talkative either. Have you never seen her? Prince Chen and Sanlang Lu get along well. When I lived in Lu's house, I often saw Prince Chen go to play with his third cousin. Sometimes Princess Ningping would go with him... Have you really never seen her?"

Luo Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said she had never seen him. When the other cousins ​​heard what they were saying, they said that Luo Lingyu would stay at the Lu family for two more days and would meet him sooner or later. Speaking of King Chen, the topic could not help but turn to Lu Sanlang, and the girls' tone became more resentful - they went to live at the Lu family just to "encounter" Lu Sanlang more times. But for several months, Lu Sanlang was not at the Lu family; when he finally came back, he used the excuse of recuperating from his injury to stay at home.

The cousins ​​shamelessly lived in the Lu family for several months, and were eventually ridiculed by Mrs. Lu. They had barely even met Lu Sanlang... The girls said sourly, "Mrs. Luo is still the best. When she first arrived at the Lu family, she was taken to visit the garden by her third cousin. They must be more familiar with each other now."
