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

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Boudica, aren't you going to try to persuade me?"

Boudica looked surprised after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Advice to you? Advise you about what?"

"Everything you've done makes sense, and while it may look dangerous... it's actually perfectly fine..."

"It may seem like we're facing 50,000 people, but if we coordinate with my speech and have the support of Lundini City, we won't be alone... The connections my mother left behind will give us at least 10,000 people to support us... And then there are the common people; I heard from Granny Eliza that everyone is very supportive of me..."

"Therefore, it's not possible for just one hundred of us to fight alone. Moreover, our current weapons can form a powerful fire network to directly overwhelm them. Once we kill several thousand of them, they will collapse..."

"Besides, Paul will definitely call out to us then... After we finish speaking, we can have a sniper take him out with one shot, right?"

Boudica analyzed for Xiao Ce.

Hearing Boudica's reasoned analysis, a smile appeared on his face.

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Boudica: "Boudica, your analysis is so insightful... I didn't expect you to be an expert now..."

Boudica's face showed a hint of embarrassment after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

"I've been following you for so long, I've learned how to do it by watching..."

Boudica then said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, but that William Barton is really giving us a reason to mess with him... This time, he'll definitely take advantage of Paul's troublesome situation to make things difficult for us..."

After listening to Boudica's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "That's right! I hope he won't come to support us against his will... That way, maybe William Cam can come and kill us sooner... That way, it will be fair to the couple."

Boudica smiled after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Ce, you're right..."

"However, you don't need to worry too much about these things, I will definitely handle them well..."

Hearing Boudica say this, Xiao Ce knew what she was going to say next.

"You don't need to say anything more... I've already gone to prepare..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Boudica looked surprised and asked, "Ce, how did you know what I was going to say next?"

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica and said, "This isn't hard to guess, is it... You're more anxious than I am. I'm going to meet with Yin Pan'er."

Boudica smiled broadly after hearing Xiao Ce's words, and then said, "Ce, I just..."

Before Boudica could finish speaking, Da Lei interrupted, "Miss Boudica, we've already sent people to investigate! Everything was going very smoothly... but just as we were about to reach you, we encountered the Mad Taoist. He stopped the Shadow Guards and told them not to come any closer... or he would be very unkind to them..."

"The Shadow Guards said they were powerless against the Mad Taoist... Actually, Night Cat and I have both witnessed the Mad Taoist's power... So, the Shadow Guards retreated. Later, they found several Shadow Guards skilled in stealth, but even they were caught by the Mad Taoist."

Boudica said to Da Lei, "Isn't that mad Taoist one of Ce's men?"

Xiao Ce shook his head and said, "He's not one of my men. He just happened to help me back then... I always felt he approached me with an ulterior motive. However, I don't know what that motive is... But what I do know now is that this mad Taoist is following Yin Pan'er's orders... It's obvious Yin Pan'er doesn't want me to see him..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, Boudica said somewhat awkwardly, "Ce, maybe..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica's expression and said, "Boudica, it's alright! Since Yin Pan'er did this, I'm sure he has his reasons... There will always be opportunities in the future..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica nodded thoughtfully: "How about I go look for him?"

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce said with a wry smile, "Boudica, I just said you were smart, how come you're starting to make a fool of yourself again... You think she wouldn't even let the Shadow Guards get close, let alone you..."

Boudica nodded thoughtfully to Xiao Ce: "That's right...it's exactly as you said...then..."

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Alright, since we can't meet yet, let's go about our business. We still have a lot to do, don't we?"

Boudica nodded, her eyes revealing an undisguised disappointment.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After hearing the knock, Boudica looked towards the door.

Grandma Eliza was standing at the door.

"Mother-in-law, is there something you need?"

At this moment, Granny Eliza said to Boudica, "Miss, there is a girl outside who is wrapped up very tightly and is looking for you... She says she is an old friend of yours!"

Boudica looked completely bewildered after hearing what Grandma Eliza said: "My old friend? A woman? What does she look like?"

Grandma Eliza shook her head: "I don't know what she looks like... I wanted to ask her if I could see what she looked like, but she refused... She only said that she had once taught you..."

After hearing Eliza's words, Boudica looked at Xiao Ce in surprise: "Could it be Sister Yin Pan'er?"

After hearing Boudica's words, Xiao Ce also harbored a slight doubt.

But upon closer inspection, it seems unlikely.

Xiao Ce said, "Instead of guessing here, we might as well go and see for ourselves..."

Boudica nodded, and Xiao Ce, excited, went with Boudica.

Da Lei followed closely behind.

Upon arriving at a room near the main entrance of the castle, a woman stood with her back to the door, looking out the window.

"Xiaoyue!" Boudica called out as she looked at the retreating figure.

Xiao Ce recognized her at a glance; she was Xiao Yue, Yin Pan'er's closest maid.

At this moment, Xiaoyue turned her head and looked at Boudica.

Xiaoyue had covered her face completely at this moment, so in fact, you couldn't tell what she looked like from her appearance at all.

Just then, Xiaoyue said to Boudica, "Boudica, how can you recognize me like this?"

Boudica said to Xiaoyue, "You're not bad-looking, are you? We've known each other for so long, and even though we haven't seen each other in so long, I can still recognize you at a glance..."

As Xiaoyue spoke, she also removed the pieces of cloth from her face.

After the mask was removed, Xiaoyue's face was revealed.

Upon seeing Xiaoyue's face, Xiao Ce immediately thought of Yin Pan'er.

Xiao Yue saw Xiao Ce looking her over and she bowed.

"I've met the prince!"

Xiao Ce noticed the gesture of bowing and the title "Your Highness"...

It really does feel like a world apart.

After listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "Your Highness... that title sounds so old... Did Yin Pan'er send you to find me?"

Xiaoyue nodded, then said, "That's right, Your Highness, we know you tried to find us... Actually, the Lord didn't want to see you... but after my persuasion, he decided to come with you, Your Highness..."

Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yue with some doubt: "So, it wasn't Pan'er who asked the Mad Taoist to stop the Shadow Guards?"

Xiaoyue smiled helplessly and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, Your Highness... If there were any other possibility, our lord would have come to find you long ago... The current situation is truly helpless... In fact, this time, I came to find you at great risk... We don't know if anything bad will happen?"

Xiao Ce was quite pleased to hear what Xiao Yue said.

Because some conclusions have already been drawn from Xiaoyue's few words.

That is to say, Yin Pan'er did indeed have her own reasons for not being able to do it.

Yin Pan'er truly didn't want to harm her, but she had no choice in the matter...

"What exactly happened?" Xiao Ce, who had been very calm and composed, finally spoke up.
