"Boy, you dare to speak ill of the Princess Consort? Be careful, or the Prince will punish you by making you sweep the stables," the man next to the little guard chuckled in a low voice.
The little guard curled his lip in disdain and said, "Sweep it if you want. I'm not like that stupid woman who would try to get close to Ghost Face and end up being used as a football by Ghost Face, being kicked away again and again."
Upon hearing this, everyone covered their faces and chuckled secretly.
There are always spies and idiots every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual, which has provided them with plenty of amusement for their leisure time.
The guards outside had finished preparing.
Ji Fengyao and Xi Que also changed into black night clothes, with white "bandit" armbands on their arms. The group set off in a low-key yet flamboyant manner.
Bai Lu watched them leap across rooftops and gracefully depart, her hands clasped to her chest, and said enviously, "It's a pity I'm just average. If I could be as talented as Sister Xique, and as skilled as her, I could follow the Princess everywhere!"
Lin Shuang also gazed thoughtfully in the direction where Ji Fengyao and the others had left, and murmured to herself, "Even if we have the best aptitude, we still..."
He stopped abruptly after saying only half of what he had said.
Bai Lu turned around in confusion when she heard her stop talking: "Sister Lin Shuang, what did you say?"
Lin Shuang's gaze flickered slightly. She turned back and touched Bai Lu's obedient cheek, smiled gently, and said, "I'm saying, no matter how good our talents are, we can't just think about playing with the Princess. Miss Xi Que has been playing with the Princess since she was a child. There are many things she can't think of. We have to think about the Princess. That's the proper thing to do."
Bai Lu listened and found it very reasonable. She nodded emphatically and said cheerfully and sincerely, "Yes, sister is right. Now everyone in the capital is thinking of harming the prince and our princess. We must be careful and not let anyone take advantage of us. After the prince and princess deal with these bad guys, our good days are yet to come!"
"Hmm," Lin Shuang smiled, then silently turned and went into the house to tidy up.
Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao received Shang Xiye's message early in the morning.
The two waited for Ji Fengyao and the others outside the post station.
Ji Fengming blocked Ji Fengyao's path and burst into a torrent of sobs: "Now that my sister has married such a wonderful husband, she truly has no brother left. She doesn't even take me with her to our old business of robbing anymore. My poor heart is so cold, so painful..."
Black Owl: "..."
Ji Fengyao: "..."
Magpie: "Young Master, I've heard Madam say that your heart is different from others, born on the right side. Why are you praising the left side?"
Ji Fengming immediately straightened his posture and pretended to be angry: "Little Sparrow, can't we have a pleasant chat now!"
"Alright," Ji Fengyao said with a smile, affectionately tugging at Ji Fengming's hand. She took out two white armbands from her storage space and stuffed them into his hands, saying softly, "I knew the prince would definitely inform you and Brother Xiao Chen to come. I've prepared your share."
"Bandits," Ji Fengming read the words on the white armband, pondered for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Hahahaha... As expected of my sister, Ji Fengming, only the two of us could come up with such a tactic of slapping someone in the face in a blatant way and making their shouts ineffective."
The group of bodyguards nearby all turned their heads and silently complained:
You two are the only bandits here, so of course only the two of you could come up with this idea.
Black Owl put on his armband and immediately mocked him: "Stop trying to flatter yourself. If it weren't for Little Yao'er's outstanding talent, you probably would have already gone to their door."
