The prince is very cruel

He was very cautious. Although Du Peng and his group only had fifty guards and there was no trace of the so-called imperial guards, he still chose to wait a little longer.

"Ok."

The so-called official road is a flatter dirt road that people, horses and carriages can pass through, but it is not the same as the highways of later generations. In ancient times, except for a small number of official roads, the rest were almost all small roads, or deep mountains and forests, which were extremely difficult to travel.

This also led to a lot of people coming and going on the official road. Although it was not as busy as in the city, there were still people passing by in groups of three or two.

We have walked most of the ten miles and can see Yuanshan is getting closer and closer.

"Prince!" Yu Dilong couldn't help but remind him again.

Guan Ning's fists were clenched with sweat, his eyes were sharp, and the decision was made in a moment!

Seeing that Du Peng and his group were about to leave the official road and enter the Yuanshan territory, Guan Ning's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If the best and middle plans didn't work, then he had to implement the worst plan!

"Do it!"

After the order was given, Yu Dilong instantly got into the state, pulled out Guan Ning's dagger, and was about to snatch away.

But at this critical moment!

Several pairs of eyes from other directions suddenly fell on him. Those eyes were like eagle eyes, and carried a frosty coldness. Guan Ning's strong anti-reconnaissance awareness instantly sensed it, and his pupils changed.

"and many more!"

He made a lightning-fast move and almost instantly stopped Yu Dilong who was about to attack.

"Prince!" Yu Dilong was anxious.

"Shh!"

Guan Ning lowered his head and continued walking forward, his whole body tense.

On the official road, several farmers selling melons came towards them. They glanced at Guan Ning and the other man like eagles overlooking their prey.

Although he was disheveled and posed no threat at all, Guan Ning felt an unprecedented sense of crisis!

He did not take any action, but continued to move forward step by step with Yu Dilong.

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and each step seemed as long as a century. In the end, the two sides passed each other and walked away, and Du Peng and his group completely disappeared.

"Prince, what's wrong? Why don't you take action?"

"People have gone up to Yuanshan."

"We can only wait for them to come down again." Yu Dilong still felt regretful.

Guan Ning took off his bamboo hat and threw it aside, his eyes deep: "The one who just brushed past us was the imperial guard. The rumors are true."

"The emperor's men have intervened to protect the wedding."

"Ah?" Yu Dilong was shocked!

"Then, aren't those people just ordinary melon farmers?"

"Absolutely not!" Guan Ning shook his head. This was the first time he was so close to the legendary imperial guards. Although they did not fight, they did not even make eye contact.

But he could sense the other party's terror. He had just revealed a little murderous intent when their eyes were fixed on him. Such a sense of smell was terrifying!

No wonder he could become the emperor's shadow!

Yu Dilong still couldn't believe it. He thought he was good enough, but he couldn't see any problems at all.

"Let's go."

"If we stay in this area any longer and are seen by the imperial guards, they will probably take action. They already had some suspicions just now." Guan Ning frowned.

"Prince, are you giving up then?" Yu Dilong said.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Yuanshan, feeling somewhat unwilling: "There is no other way, we can only take a long-term view."

"If you fail in this matter, there will be no second chance."

"..."

Just like this, what seemed like an opportunity actually concealed a great murderous intention. Guan Ning made a final move, but he finally calmed down and quietly returned to the city.

As soon as he returned home, he saw an acquaintance.

At this time, the only one willing to come to Guan Mansion was Chen Tu.

"Brother Guan!" he exclaimed, smiling.

Ye Li couldn't help but smile despite his worried face: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to the government office?"

"Three days of fishing, two days of drying the nets, aren't you afraid of your elder sister Chen Wanjin scolding you?"

Chen Tu was surprised: "Brother Guan, how do you know my eldest sister's name?"

"Uh..." Guan Ning was stunned for a moment: "Have you forgotten what you said last time?"

What did I say?

Chen Tu's eyes were blank. He didn't say that, right?
