C71

It had only been half a day's journey from the broken sword cliff to the capital. It was currently in the middle of summer, and the air was incredibly hot. Even the shouts of the hawkers on the streets were somewhat hoarse, and they randomly picked an inn to stay at. They felt that the capital city wasn't much different from when they left.

She paid some silver taels to the shopkeeper, but after entering the room and closing the door, she jumped out of the window.

Of course, she had noticed that ever since she had entered the city, there had been several people secretly following her. He originally thought that they were greedy little thieves, but he didn't feel any malicious intent. It was as if they were simply monitoring him.

However, she couldn't reveal her identity yet. If she continued to let this group of people follow, it would ruin her plans. So she pretended to stay in the inn to see what those people were up to.

"Strange, that woman in red hasn't come out since entering the inn. The Prince told us to follow her, could it be that we need to find a room to stay across from her?" In the hall downstairs, a skinny man in grey said.

"Are you stupid? She can't stay in the inn forever. We'll wait on the first floor and she'll come out eventually." The short, stocky man dressed in grey clothes next to her received it.

The two men sat on the stools and talked, apparently unaware that their words had reached the ears of others.

"Prince?" At this time, Ke Yuehua had already changed into a set of cyan clothes and they quietly sat behind the two people. As assassins of the broken sword cliff, searching for information and disguising it were two things that must be learned, so these two definitely would not associate the red-clothed girl with the ordinary lady dressed in green behind them. This was what caused Ke Yuehua to hear a lot of information.

It turned out that ever since she went missing, Fourth Prince and the crown prince had never stopped searching, but unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, several months had passed. He was certain that his Xiao Sui wasn't dead, and was definitely still in the broken sword cliff at this moment, so he simply stopped searching. He only found a few spies and planted them in the city, and if there were any suspicious women, they would definitely report to him.

Ke Yuehua lightly erased the bitter tea in his cup, as this Shi Jinhan was sure that he would definitely return. The prince that these two people were referring to must be him.

As the two quietly waited, night slowly descended. After a while, the two people who were quietly sitting finally became a bit impatient. The skinny, gray-clothed man said, "We can't just wait like this. The prince only said that the woman was dressed in red, but didn't say what she looked like."

"That's right. In the past, there had always been women in red entering the city, but they were all rejected by the prince one by one." I think we should first inform the prince about this matter. Since the woman has already entered the city, if she is really the person the prince is looking for, then we will naturally not be able to escape. "

The two conversed for a while, and then decided to report the news first. In any case, the person was at the inn, and as long as the prince took a look, he would know.

The two of them walked out of the inn and headed straight for the largest restaurant in the capital. It was obvious that they didn't know that they were being followed.

After Ke Yuehua saw them leave, she stealthily followed behind the two of them. She restrained her aura and jumped about like a cat on the roof. The two people whom she followed did not notice at all.

As the crown prince, ordinary people would not be able to enter the private room that he was in easily. However, after the two people showed their identity tokens, the guards outside let them in.

The interior of the room was richly decorated. Although it was summer, the floor was covered with a thick blanket made from beast fur. On both sides, there were beautiful maids holding jade pots in their hands. A few maids stood by the window and fanned themselves. At this moment, the doors and windows were ajar, allowing the cool air outside to enter.

He only needed to open his mouth to enjoy the beauty feeding. No wonder why his body was covered with a fine thin blanket, even when Yue Hua was standing outside the window, he would be able to feel the chilly air inside the room. Summoning the crown prince from the south, he was truly a person who was used to enjoying life.

At this moment, the two men dressed in grey entered the private room. However, they did not look at the crown prince who was lying on the floor. Instead, they kneeled on the floor after entering the room.

"Your Highness, it's just at noon today, and another red-clothed girl has entered the city." A skinny man knelt down and said respectfully.

Shi Jinhan raised his hand slightly, and a fair lady walked forward with a silver basin in her hands. He then moved closer and spat out the fruit in his mouth, and then lazily laid back on the bed, indicating that he should continue speaking.

Therefore, the short man continued, "However, after that woman entered the Ru Yi Inn, she didn't come out. I waited all night at the first floor of the inn, but there was no sound from upstairs."

"Huh?" Hearing that, Shi Jinhan suddenly straightened his body, as if he felt that something was amiss. He looked out the window for a while, then waved away the beautiful servants beside him.

On the other hand, the two men who were crawling on the ground seemed to be somewhat suspicious. It turned out that these two were merely the most ordinary subordinates under Shi Jinhan. At that time, Shi Jinhan had sent dozens of his subordinates to investigate the city, and these two coincidentally bumped into Yue Hua who had just entered the city gate, however, they were slightly earlier than the rest of the people present.

However, what the two of them did not expect was that their master would actually turn serious after hearing their report. How could the two who originally held low positions not be moved?

Just as the skinny man was about to continue reporting, he heard the crown prince urge, "Both of you, get out as well."

This time, the two men who were crawling on the ground were at a loss on what to do. The two of them looked at each other and saw doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.

He was afraid that the girls outside the window wouldn't be able to wait and leave, so he said: "You all did well today, go and receive your rewards."

The duo was shocked again. They had only reported the situation as usual, and there wasn't even enough time to finish reporting. How could they have been inexplicably rewarded? However, they had no choice but to obey the crown prince's order. Despite their shock and suspicion, the two of them still respectfully withdrew.

"Close the door. No one is allowed to enter without This King's order."

What kind of play was this again? The two of them looked at each other, then closed the door. The guards outside the door saw the crown prince chasing everyone out of the room and ordered them not to enter, but they did not dare to think too much about it. They only continued to guard the door as per their duty. Since the crown prince had already said so, as his subordinate, he could only carry it out.
