During the day, Xiao Lingyue had already figured out the terrain of the camp and observed the patrol patterns of the government officials.
The guarding of this semi-open camp was not strict, and to her, it was even more useless. Xiao Lingyue easily found her way out of the camp without disturbing anyone, and reached the bottom of the city wall alone.
Just like Qiao Qing said.
Yuanmu Town has a strict curfew system. The city gates are opened at dawn and closed at night.
Ordinary people will definitely not be able to enter.
But Yuanmu Town is just an ordinary town after all, neither a major city nor a frontier fortress, and the city wall is only made of ordinary blue bricks, barely five meters high.
Due to years of disrepair, there have been many gaps of various sizes on the city wall, and weeds have even grown in the gaps.
Xiao Lingyue stood at the foot of the city wall and looked up. There was no fire on the wall.
This means that there are no government officials on duty all night.
She quickly found the gap, stretched out her hand, and as light as a cat, she crossed the city wall in a few clicks and jumped down from the corner silently.
It fell to the ground silently.
She glanced around cautiously.
Late at night, Yuanmu Town is not as lively as it is during the day. The whole town seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
Except for a few lanterns on the streets that were illuminated for the convenience of patrols by the government officials, the rest of the place was completely dark.
Not even a ghost could be seen.
Xiao Lingyue walked along the shadows of the street towards the houses she found during the day.
Because of the delay in Prince Xiang's incident, she did not have time to ask Qiao Qing to borrow money to buy disguise tools before the curfew.
Now it is not convenient for King Xiang to see this face.
After thinking about it, Xiao Lingyue decided to take advantage of the time when Prince Xiang was in jail to meet with Zhan Beihan. On the one hand, she wanted to join him so as not to worry him, but on the other hand, she also wanted to discuss with him, so she would not show up for the time being.
, cooperating with him in secret.
During the day, Zhan Beihan should not be around.
Otherwise, King Xiang would not dare to secretly take his guards out for shopping.
But he always has to go back at night.
Xiao Lingyue followed the familiar terrain and found a hidden dwelling in an alley, climbed over the low wall and fell into the courtyard.
The yard was pitch dark, the doors and windows of the few rooms were closed, and no sound could be heard.
Xiao Lingyue went from room to room.
In the rooms on the left and right sides, there lived three officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the accompanying guards.
The guards slept soundly on the Datong bunk, while the three household officials slept separately on the bed and the floor.
Only Zhan Beihan was missing.
Xiao Lingyue opened the door of the main room and saw only a dark and cold room. The bed was neatly covered with quilts, and there was no sign that anyone had slept there.
"Strange, where did he go? He didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Did he go to the prison to visit him?"
Xiao Lingyue felt strange secretly.
She walked to the yard and was wondering whether to stay here and wait for Zhan Beihan to come back or come back tomorrow.
A burst of soft footsteps suddenly came from the alley outside the courtyard gate.
Three people!
His steps are very light and he has practiced martial arts. He is not an ordinary patrol officer!
Xiao Lingyue's eyes narrowed, she hid in the shadow of the courtyard door, and looked out through the gap in the wooden door.
The courtyard gate faces the alley.
The moonlight passed over the low walls on both sides and shone diagonally into the alley. The light was extremely dim, and ordinary people might not be able to see anything clearly, but for Xiao Lingyue, it was enough illumination.
She saw three figures passing through the alley. They were wrapped in thick and large cloaks, and they were wrapped up tightly. They walked fast and hastily with their heads buried in the air, like three silent ghosts, hurriedly passing by the courtyard gate.
