The moonlight in Guyuan City was silver, casting a chilly clarity over the world.
Four horses weaved between mud houses and narrow paths, suddenly, Chen Ji pulled the reins and turned back to look at the deserted street behind him, "The Crown Prince probably hasn't sent anyone after us, we have shaken them off."
He was draped in a black large cloak, and Wu Yun was bundled inside, sleeping soundly.
Xiao Man rode on a small pony behind him, curiously asking, "Young Master, why do we need to sneak away?"
Chen Ji answered without turning back, "Li Xuan and Qi Zhenzhuo are brave but reckless, and Mr. Chen is not quick-witted enough. The Crown Prince wants to investigate the case of wrongful glory, it seems he has to rely on himself. Moreover, there are people secretly plotting against the Crown Prince and the border army. If we continue to follow them, we might end up unlucky as well."
