Xiao Lingyue was referring to meeting Prince Xiang, but she was actually talking about the former eldest lady of the Xiao family.
The eldest daughter of the Xiao family has grown up in the capital since she was a child. She is also the daughter of an aristocratic family, so she must have met Prince Xiang.
Prince Xiang was always impressed by beauties, but five or six years had passed and he hadn't seen Xiao Lingyue's face, so he only thought her back was familiar but didn't recognize her.
For Xiao Lingyue, this was a blessing in misfortune.
Zhan Beihan: "..." He had just heard Prince Xiang talk about this in prison.
Prince Xiang still feels aggrieved. He really thinks Xiao Lingyue looks familiar and is not trying to seduce her.
Then he scolded Qiao Qing bloody!
Zhan Beihan simply asked him to stay in jail and clear his mind.
Speaking of which.
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding, leaving King Xiang aside.
Xiao Lingyue said again: "There is one more thing..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Beihan suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes and pulled Xiao Lingyue into the shadow of the alley.
Xiao Lingyue was surprised, "How..."
Zhan Beihan raised his hand to cover her mouth, looked sharply at the other side of the river, and said in a low voice: "There is someone!"
Xiao Lingyue was startled, calmed down immediately, and followed his gaze to the other side of the river.
The thick reeds on the river bank rustled.
At first, Xiao Lingyue thought it was blown by the wind, but then she realized that it was the sound made by someone walking in the reeds.
After a while, she saw three cloaked men in black walking out of the reeds.
"It's them!" Xiao Lingyue's voice was very low, her eyes fixed on the three people.
Unexpectedly, she and Zhan Beihan were so lucky.
At first, I thought I had lost them, but unexpectedly, it took a sudden turn, and these three people actually got into the reeds!
What are they doing in a place like this?
Just as she was thinking this, Xiao Lingyue suddenly felt something was wrong.
After the three men in black came out of the reeds, they quickly walked onto the small bridge, and it seemed that they were coming in their direction.
not good!
Xiao Lingyue immediately tightened Zhan Beihan's sleeves and said quickly in a low voice: "If they want to go back the same way, they will run into each other, so retreat first!"
Without saying a word, Zhan Beihan pulled her back quickly and hid behind a low wall.
The three cloaked figures quickly crossed the bridge and hurriedly entered the alley.
There was no conversation between them, they just kept their heads down and hurried on, their black cloaks fluttering in the wind, like three ghosts floating in the night.
The low wall where Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan were hiding was very close to the alley, and they almost passed by the three cloaked figures.
In the night wind, a faint fishy smell floated along with the cloak and crossed the tip of Xiao Lingyue's nose.
She frowned slightly.
This taste...
Wait until the three cloaked figures quickly disappeared into the night, and their footsteps gradually faded away.
Xiao Lingyue turned her head and asked, "Should I pursue you or not?"
"Chase!" Zhan Beihan said with one word.
The two people jumped out of the low wall in unison and chased after them silently and quickly.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the two of them deliberately distanced themselves from each other, maintaining a speed that would neither lead them to lose nor be discovered.
Xiao Lingyue lowered her voice and said: "These people will not go into the reeds in the middle of the night for no reason. They must have something inconvenient to see people. Now that the matter is done, they are probably going to return to their stronghold. Let's follow them and just have a look at them.
