Chapter 462: Chapter 462: With You Here, I’ll Never Go Hungry
Guoguo walked into the courtyard.
He stood in the corridor, just stretched lazily.
He suddenly saw a sneaky figure in the dark corner of the garden, squatting under a tree as if doing something, with his back to him.
Guoguo was taken aback, squinting to look over.
Until a burst of fire light appeared around the figure.
Only then did Guoguo open his eyes wide.
That person was holding a flint!
"Hey! Who are you? You can’t mess with this grove, don’t you know!" Guoguo shouted sternly.
The figure in black suddenly turned his head, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his small eyes.
Guoguo was stunned.
This person isn’t from the Xiuluo Guard.
The man in black directly threw the flint under the tree, then turned around, pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, and rushed at Guoguo.
Guoguo froze, immediately ran back, while shouting: "Someone’s intruding the Xiuluo Guard! Come quickly!"
However, the front courtyard of the Xiuluo Guard was already in chaos.
Someone unknown had set a fire, igniting a side pavilion ahead.
Chu Ping covered his mouth and nose, coughing repeatedly: "Quickly call the nearby Imperial Guard to put out the fire!"
Then he hurriedly ran toward the prison.
Afraid that the fire would suddenly give the culprits a chance to escape.
However, just as Chu Ping entered the Xiuluo Guard, he heard Guoguo shouting——
"There’s an assassin! Come quickly!"
Chu Ping was shocked, drew his sword, and rushed over.
He saw Guoguo pressed to the ground, gritting his teeth and grasping the wrist of the man in black with both hands.
The dagger in the man’s hand would pierce through Guoguo’s chest if pressured.
Chu Ping turned pale with fright, dashed forward, kicked the man in black away, and pulled Guoguo up.
"Are you okay!" he asked urgently.
Guoguo shook his head, then suddenly said: "Watch out!"
The man in black rolled on the ground and pulled two darts from his waist, throwing them at Chu Ping.
At the same time, several other men in black silently took advantage of the chaos and infiltrated the prison.
Under the moonlit night, the Xiuluo Guard was destined not to be peaceful.
...
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi’er.
The little one sat inside the house, in front of her was kindling with a gentle flame.
In her small hand, she held a stick with a sparrow that Feng Fuce just knocked down skewered on it.
The kidnappers were lucky to be with Bai Zhi’er, as there were also a few sparrows to fill their bellies.
Feng Fuce handed the wild fruits he had picked to the little one.
"Wow! With Brother Fu Ce around, Zhi’er will never go hungry!" Bai Zhi’er’s watery eyes sparkled, evidently very happy.
Feng Fuce sneered: "Eat, there’s still a while until dawn."
They had already agreed that they would follow the kidnappers’ original plan.
But the person being delivered would be changed, it was to better catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
So during the waiting period.
Feng Fuce went to catch a few sparrows to not only feed Bai Zhi’er.
But also, on the plea of the little one, he spared a few for the kidnappers.
Bai Zhi’er ate cheerfully, Feng Fuce withdrew his indifferent gaze and turned to look at Lai Si and the others.
"Didn’t the person who asked you to kidnap the Princess tell you it was the Princess you were supposed to kidnap?"
Lai Si, biting a sparrow, said indistinctly: "No! Isn’t that misleading? Had we known earlier it was the Princess, no amount of money would have brought us here."
The pockmarked man chimed in: "Exactly! They only gave several hundred taels of silver, at first we thought we had encountered a generous employer, but who knew, for this amount, they wanted to take all our lives!"
The round-faced man spat: "Such malicious hearts!"
Feng Fuce sneered coldly: "Aren’t you being too foolish?"
