Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

The reason is simple: the man in front of them, who calls himself Xiao Ce, looks exactly like Xiao Ce.

Yin Pan'er had seen this man who called himself Xiao Ce before.

They looked ferocious and terrifying back then.

Looking at Yin Pan'er's appearance, the man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled faintly: "How about it? Now you've become yourself again, haven't you?"

Yin Pan'er knew that the mad Taoist had the ability to disguise himself.

However, at this moment it doesn't seem like a disguise.

After all, if they were going to disguise themselves, they would have done so beforehand; there was no need to reveal their previous hideous faces earlier.

"Your Highness, how did you manage to do that..."

The man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled and said, "You'll find out eventually! I came here today to talk to you about something... I need to leave for a while, and I'm completely handing this place over to you!"

Yin Pan'er looked at the man who called himself Xiao Ce with suspicion and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going...?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce didn't want to tell Yin Pan'er: "You don't need to worry about this... You just need to know what you need to do..."

Yin Pan'er said to the man who called himself Xiao Ce, "Didn't you want me to cooperate with Xiao Ce to overthrow the Illuminati? Could it be that you've changed your mind now?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said, "Nothing has changed. It's still the same approach. You can continue to be enemies openly. And you can still meet with him privately if you want… Now, you need to deepen your relationship…"

Yin Pan'er said to the man who called himself Xiao Ce, "If Xiao Ce asks me about it..."

The man claiming to be Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "He's not Xiao Ce, he's an imposter. I am!"

Yin Pan'er smiled awkwardly as she listened: "Yes, Your Highness, so... if that imposter asks me why I did that before?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce replied to Yin Pan'er, "Isn't this simple? Just say I exist, but of course, conceal my true identity. Just say I'm a mysterious person..."

After hearing his words, Yin Pan'er was still quite surprised by the man in front of her.

Because this person doesn't just look like Xiao Ce.

His intelligence is as terrifying as Xiao Ce's.

The man spent almost half an hour explaining to Yin Pan'er what she was going to do in the future.

Because he spoke in such detail, Yin Pan'er was somewhat dazed.

He was momentarily confused; was the person standing in front of him really Xiao Ce, just trying to make him happy...?

Looking at Yin Pan'er, who seemed to be deep in thought.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce spoke up: "Yin Pan'er, do you think there's a problem?"

Yin Pan'er said to him, "Are you sure it's not that imposter...?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Yin Pan'er replied to him, "I don't think so either... However, if he were to impersonate you one day, how would I know the difference between him and you... Because it's really hard to tell the difference between you two."

The man who called himself Xiao Ce leaned close to Yin Pan'er and whispered something.

Then she lifted her clothes.

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to the man who called himself Xiao Ce, "I understand!"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled slightly: "Alright...then, it's up to you from here on out..."

Yin Pan'er looked at the man who called himself Xiao Ce with a complicated expression: "When are you coming back?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce shook his head and did not give him a precise time.

In fact, Yin Pan'er knew perfectly well that the man in front of her was only using her as a pawn.

So his answer to Yin Pan'er was: "I will come back when the time is right."

After listening to their words, Yin Pan'er nodded.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll take the corpse from the void with me..."

Upon hearing the name Xu Kong, Yin Pan'er was stunned for a moment, clearly not quite understanding what was going on. Who was this Xu Kong...?

After a moment of stunned silence, he remembered that it was the Mad Taoist.

Yin Pan'er thought about the mad Taoist's corpse; there was no use in keeping it.

The reason he kept the body was because, in his eyes, the Mad Taoist was a 'monster' just like the man in front of him, so he didn't dare to deal with the corpse rashly.

"That's natural..."

Then the man said to Yin Pan'er, "Yin Pan'er, I'm leaving now! You understand what I'm saying, right?"

Yin Pan'er nodded repeatedly as she listened.

The man said, "You're a smart person, I know you'll do the right thing..."

Yin Pan'er naturally understood the man's threat.

She gave an awkward laugh, then said to the man, "Of course... Your Highness, please rest assured... I will definitely do as you say..."

The man who called himself Xiao Ce nodded and said no more.

Just get up and leave.

Yin Pan'er looked at the man who called himself Xiao Ce and said, "Your Highness, could you send me some more people?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course!"

Seeing his decisive and resolute answer, Yin Pan'er felt a chill run down her spine.

However, there was no reaction on her face...

"That's good...that's good..."

He was about to get up to see her off when the man who called himself Xiao Ce refused.

"Oh, right, that night owl..."

The man claiming to be Xiao Ce said, "I still need him... I came here this time with the plan of taking one of his confidants from that imposter's side... and now he's delivered himself right to my doorstep."

Yin Pan'er wanted to ask, but she didn't bring herself to ask.

It's obvious he's useful! As for what he's useful for, Yin Pan'er really doesn't know.

But as long as I'm alive, that's enough.

Yin Pan'er, the night owl, still believed in him; as long as he lived, he would find a way to escape.

After the man claiming to be Xiao Ce left, he knocked Ye Mao unconscious and took her away...

They were able to come in and leave silently.

Watching them leave, Xiaoyue's face turned pale. "My lord... are they even human?" she asked.

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er shook her head helplessly and then said, "Obviously, they are not human..."

As the two were talking, Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er, "Sir, what did he say to you?"

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Yue's curious expression and gave a wry smile, then said, "It's not exactly good news! He gave me a plan of what I need to do over the next year..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiaoyue asked, "My lord, are you sure you want to help him?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "I had no choice... He gave me a reason that I couldn't refuse."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xiaoyue walked to the door, opened it, and glanced inside.

It turned out to be one of her subordinates.

Xiaoyue glanced at her subordinate and asked, "What's wrong?"

“A woman claiming to be Ms. Boudica requests an audience with the Agent.”

Yin Pan'er also heard this, and immediately said, "What a coincidence!"

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, shall we see him or not?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "I won't go...you go and see her."

Xiaoyue said to Yin Pan'er, "My lord, there's no need to guess, they've come to ask for someone back..."

After hearing Xiaoyue's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "That's right, coming at this time is definitely..."

Xiaoyue asked Yin Pan'er, "Then how should I answer?"

Yin Pan'er pondered for a moment, then said to Xiaoyue, "It's simple, I don't know, I didn't see it..."

Xiaoyue nodded after receiving Yin Pan'er's answer.

He then went outside.

...

At this moment, Boudica came over from outside the castle, and Da Lei came over with her.

After waiting for quite a while, Xiao Ce couldn't wait any longer.

You have to come and see for yourself.

Boudica noticed Xiao Ce's unusual behavior and asked him what was wrong, wondering if he had thought of something.

After all, Xiao Ce didn't seem like the kind of person who couldn't keep his composure.

Xiao Ce simply replied that he didn't know what was going on either.

He just felt a little uneasy, and he felt something was wrong.

Anyway, it's Yin Pan'er over there, so he figured it wouldn't hurt to go and ask her...

Boudica followed Xiao Ce's words, saying that if Yin Pan'er wanted to see him, she would have come to Xiao Ce long ago.

There must be a reason why Yin Pan'er didn't meet with Xiao Ce...

If Xiao Ce were to rashly request to meet him, he probably wouldn't agree.

At Boudica's urging, she decided to give it a try.

After all, Yin Pan'er naturally knew about Boudica's relationship with him; if she hadn't even met Boudica...

Then it would be even more useless for him to go.

After calming down a bit, Xiao Ce agreed to let Boudica come over.

However, just to be on the safe side, we still had Da Lei come along.

Boudica leaned over the carriage and looked out the window.

After waiting for a while, Boudica asked Da Lei, "Da Lei, do you think they will come?"

After listening to Boudica's words, Da Lei shook his head: "I think at least Yin Pan'er won't show up..."

Boudica nodded.

Da Lei said to Boudica, "Then why are you still coming?"

Boudica said to Da Lei, "Let's come over here and try... Doesn't this look like Ce is extremely anxious? I rarely see him like this..."

Da Lei nodded to Boudica: "That's right! Perhaps it's because he was too worried..."

Boudica nodded: "Big Lei, do you think they would harm the night owls?"

Da Lei shook his head: "I think Princess Yin Pan'er would definitely not harm night owls... But actually, from before until now, we can see that Princess Yin Pan'er doesn't seem to be able to make her own decisions..."

Boudica said to Da Lei, "That's right!"

Just as the two were talking, Da Lei said, "They're here!"

Boudica glanced out the carriage window and saw Xiaoyue walking over, surrounded by a group of people.

Da Lei and Xiao Yue were fairly familiar with each other.

Xiaoyue glanced at Da Lei first, then pretended not to recognize him.

Since Xiaoyue pretended not to know him, Da Lei didn't say anything either.

Boudica nodded slightly to Xiaoyue: "Miss Xiaoyue, is Agent Yin willing to see us?"

Xiaoyue wasn't surprised that Boudica recognized her.

Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "Because you have conflicts of interest with the people of the British Empire, our agent does not want to get involved in your affairs, so we refuse to meet with you."

Boudica wasn't surprised at all: "Miss Xiaoyue, could you please get in the car and we can talk?"

Xiaoyue looked around: "There are no outsiders here, so there's nothing I can't say..."

Boudica quickly discerned his attitude and then said, "Miss Xiaoyue, please don't be nervous. We're not here for matters concerning the British Empire, but to find someone."

Xiaoyue wasn't surprised at all. She looked at Boudica and asked, "Looking for someone? Then you should go to the police station..."

Boudica didn't take Xiaoyue's cold reply seriously at all, and still had a smile on her face: "Yes, yes... I just wanted to ask if you have seen Mr. Night Owl."

Xiaoyue was already prepared, and looked at Boudica with a puzzled expression: "Night Owl? Are you looking for a person or a cat?"

Boudica, seeing that Xiaoyue was pretending to be stupid, still patiently asked, "Miss Xiaoyue, Night Cat is a person... Don't you recognize him?"

Xiaoyue shook her head: "You said your people ran into our castle, is that right?"

Boudica reiterated, "Perhaps...this isn't what I wanted to do..."

Before Boudica could finish speaking, Xiaoyue interrupted her, asking the guards beside her, "Did you see anyone come in?"

The guards naturally shook their heads: "The security here is very strict; no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter."

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Boudica said, "Then..."

Xiaoyue interrupted again: "Ms. Boudica, we have already answered you... We haven't seen the person you are looking for. If you think the person was lost here, you can go to the police station to check. Our answer is already given to you."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Boudica shook her head, then took out a letter: "I don't know if this letter can be given to..."

Xiaoyue shook her head: "I'm sorry, our agent said we won't see any of you or accept anything from you."

Then, Xiaoyue added, "Of course, don't misunderstand... it's simply that your relationship with the British Empire is special now. As you know, the Illuminati has rules against interfering in the internal affairs of other countries... While we don't know what methods you've used to get John Jonard and the others to join you... our agents will absolutely not join you..."

Without giving them a chance to speak, Xiaoyue turned and left.

Boudica wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Da Lei.

“Ms. Boudica, let it go... They must have decided not to say... Asking further is pointless…”

As soon as Da Lei finished speaking, Xiao Yue, who had just turned around and taken a few steps, suddenly thought of something.

He then said, "By the way, if you can't find your own people, don't try to blame us. Your people aren't here!"

With that said, he turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Da Lei cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, young lady!"
