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

"Didn't I tell you? If you go out like this, you'll probably get arrested by the patrol..."

The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a conical hat, remained calm and composed after hearing Gandhi's words, replying in a detached tone: "Them? The one capable of capturing me hasn't even been born yet. Unless I want someone else to capture me, no one can..."

Gandhi, who was standing nearby, turned to his master, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, and asked, "So, Master, are you going to find him?"

The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, nodded to Gan and then said, "Not bad!"

Gandhi addressed his master, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, saying, "Master, perhaps I should go find someone... After all, this is their territory..."

The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a conical hat, said to Gandhi, "What? Do you doubt my abilities?"

Upon hearing his master's words, who was dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, Gandhi quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not, I just think this situation seems too chaotic... I still have connections here..."

Upon hearing Gandhi's words, the master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a straw hat, calmly replied, "What makes you think you can do what I can't?...Alright, just focus on your own work... You don't need to worry about this..."

The master, dressed in a black robe and wearing a bamboo hat, walked straight out.

Gandhi watched his departing figure, feeling helpless...

His master has always been elusive and rarely seen.

However, he had already said everything he needed to say, and the rest was beyond his control...

...

After Morgana and the others spent some time with Xiao Ce, she felt that she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

So she decided not to stay there and went to take care of her own business.

Although it was supposed to be a casual chat, Boudica still asked Xiao Ce some questions about future strategies.

While they were chatting idly, the mad Taoist priest, who had been leaning against one side and watching them intently, suddenly stopped.

Sensing something in an instant, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Then he looked outside and saw Xiao Ce, Boudica, and Yin Pan'er chatting.

They didn't sense anything unusual.

The mad Taoist left quietly, unnoticed by anyone.

So, nobody noticed him leaving.

The Mad Taoist didn't hide anything; he left openly and honestly.

Even when she encountered Morgana who had returned, Morgana didn't think much of it.

I just wondered what Boudica had asked the madman to do.

Morgana nodded slightly to the mad Taoist, then said, "Mr. Madman, please go and take care of your business..."

After Morgana said something to the Mad Taoist, the Mad Taoist ignored her completely and walked straight out.

Morgana didn't seem to mind, but Luna looked at the mad Taoist's back with some curiosity.

Morgana noticed Luna staring at the Mad Taoist's back and asked directly, "Luna, what are you looking at?"

Little Luna said to Morgana, "Lady Morgana, didn't they say before that this strange person wouldn't go far from Queen Boudica? Queen Boudica was testing them before, and no matter how they tested, they wouldn't leave. How come they can leave now?"

Morgana only remembered after Luna said that, and then glanced at the departing mad Taoist.

"Perhaps they have already found a way..."

Luna nodded in agreement, and then the two of them went about their business.

As soon as the mad Taoist stepped out, he encountered a man dressed in a black robe and bamboo hat.

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat paused for a moment after seeing the mad Taoist, then said to him, "You were indeed able to sense my arrival... Since you've come, you must know who I am..."

"Don't resist..."

The mad Taoist priest seemed not to take the black-robed, straw-hatted man's words to heart at all.

The mad Taoist priest directly made a provocative beckoning gesture towards the man in the black robe and bamboo hat...

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat saw the mad Taoist's action and was very puzzled: "Looking for death?"

Without saying a word, the mad Taoist turned and ran.

The mad Taoist's speed was so fast that he almost became a blur...

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat watched the mad Taoist leave quickly, then coldly snorted and said to him, "Hmph...you're courting death..."

Immediately afterward, the man in the black robe and conical hat also transformed into a blur and chased after them.

At this moment, people on the road only saw two dark figures quickly leaping and darting between buildings.

However, as soon as they looked over, the two dark figures vanished...

So their first thought was none other than whether there was something wrong with their eyes and ears.

At that moment, the two of them moved at an almost inhuman speed.

Soon they arrived at a grove of trees outside the city of Lingas.

Neither of them had time to catch their breath.

The mad Taoist priest, who was speeding ahead, suddenly stopped and looked at the black-robed, hat-wearing man who was chasing closely behind.

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat, his breathing equally even, said to the mad Taoist, "Are you trying to shake me off? You should know you don't have that ability..."

Upon hearing the words of the man in black robes and a bamboo hat, the mad Taoist replied with words devoid of any emotion.

"I don't want to get rid of you, I want to kill you..."

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat heard the mad Taoist's words, but his words were equally devoid of emotion.

"Then let's give it a try..."

After they finished speaking, the two men pulled out their guns and began firing at each other...

However, the two of them fought as they ran.

The two of them almost simultaneously dodged a large portion of the bullets, even though some bullets hit their bodies.

However, those bullets only embedded themselves in their skin and did not penetrate their bodies.

The two of them ran and fired at each other for more than ten minutes.

No one can win...

More than ten minutes later, the two men had each used up all the ammunition they were carrying.

Both of them had been shot at.

Seeing that the other side had no bullets, they acted as if nothing had happened and pulled out the bullets that were embedded in their skin.

Then he threw it on the ground.

Upon seeing this, the man in the black robe and conical hat still spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion.

"You must have upgraded it. Otherwise, your original machine is no match for me."

After hearing the words of the man in black robes and a bamboo hat, the Mad Taoist did not reply: "You either self-destruct now, or I will take care of you... You have no third option."

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat remained calm and composed after hearing the mad Taoist's words, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"I think I followed what you said..."

The mad Taoist then drew his twin swords from his back, assuming a fighting stance...

The man in the black robe and bamboo hat drew a long sword from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

At that moment, the two of them launched a fierce attack on each other.

The two men were instantly entangled, their weapons sparking as they clashed.

The sparks scattered.

The two men's swordsmanship and movement techniques were so different that they could no longer be discerned by sight.

Although this is a dense forest, and it is some distance from the main road.

However, the sounds of swords clashing between the two sides still attracted some passersby.

They had actually heard intense gunfire earlier, but it was only at the very beginning.

They genuinely didn't dare to come and see.

But now, what I hear is the sound of swords clashing.

Hearing the sound, they came to investigate.

From afar, they could see two afterimages locked in combat, but they couldn't see anything else at all.

Some people rubbed their eyes repeatedly because the fighting in front of them was so intense.

They couldn't see it at all.

Some of the more timid people shouted, "Alright, stop watching, or you'll get caught in the crossfire..."

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately distanced themselves without saying a word.

However, some of the bolder people moved further away and secretly watched through binoculars.

The battle ended in a draw, with many trees falling around both of them.

Both men were wounded, but neither slowed their attacks because of their injuries...

...

Meanwhile, inside the city, Xiao Ce, Boudica, and Yin Pan'er began chatting.

Later, when Yin Pan'er noticed that they were always talking about tense things, she simply started calling them "Big Mahjong".

What Yin Pan'er wanted to do was actually very simple: to help Boudica relax.

Yin Pan'er noticed that Boudica had been in a tense state ever since she arrived.

Being tense is not the norm; being relaxed is.

Being constantly tense will inevitably break your nerves...

The mahjong game that Xiao Ce invented earlier was a great way to relax.

Sure enough, after playing two rounds of mahjong, they all relaxed a lot.

They fought until nightfall, and because they were so engrossed in the game, no one noticed that the Mad Taoist had run away.

Actually, there's no other reason why they didn't pay attention.

It was because they subconsciously felt that the madman wouldn't leave, since they had tried many times but failed to drive him away.

Just as they were having a good time, night fell.

The dinner party has already been prepared here.

Little Luna then called to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, the dinner arrangements have been made. Please proceed to the banquet..."

After hearing what Luna said, Xiao Ce and his team stopped playing after finishing a round.

Seeing this, Luna said to Boudica, "Your Majesty Queen Boudica, is your guard still waiting for you?"

After Boudica heard Luna's words, Yin Pan'er and Xiao Ce finally realized what was happening.

"Where is the Mad Taoist?"

After hearing what Yin Pan'er and Xiao Ce said, Boudica looked around and then said, "I don't know either... He's been here the whole time, hasn't he? I really didn't pay any attention."

Just then, Boudica looked at Luna.

Little Luna said to Boudica, "Your Majesty Queen Boudica, didn't you tell your guard to leave?"

Boudica shook her head after hearing Luna's words: "I didn't. You saw him leave?"

Luna saw Boudica's appearance, nodded with a puzzled look, and then recounted what had just happened.

After hearing Luna's words, Boudica asked her with a look of surprise, "Did he say anything to you before he left?"

Little Luna shook her head: "Lady Morgana followed him and said, but he ignored us... We thought you were doing some kind of experiment..."

After hearing Luna's words, Boudica looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "We actually tried several times just now, but that guy showed no intention of leaving. His hasty departure now only means one thing..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Boudica almost simultaneously exclaimed with him, "So the person who gave him the orders has arrived?"

Xiao Ce nodded.

As Xiao Ce spoke, he looked at Luna and then asked her, "Luna, where is Morgana?"

Without saying a word, Luna began to lead the way for Xiao Ce.

They led Xiao Ce to Morgana's side, and Morgana saw Xiao Ce and Yin Pan'er rushing over.

He then asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, what happened to you?"

Little Luna succinctly stated, "Lady Morgana, that guard of Queen Boudica...she didn't send them away...he ran away on his own..."

Upon hearing this, Morgana immediately tensed up: "What should we do? Boudica, Mr. Ce, I'm so sorry, I really don't know... If I had known, I would have informed you... I wouldn't..."

Seeing Morgana's anxious expression, Xiao Ce said to her, "Morgana, don't worry. This matter actually has nothing to do with you. After all, if that person wants to leave, no one can stop them..."

Morgana heard Xiao Ce's words and seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter, so she spoke to Xiao Ce and said, "Mr. Ce, shall we go and look for him?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Although we might not be able to find it, let's still give it a try..."

Morgana nodded after hearing Xiao Ce's words: "Okay, I'll go and order my men to search..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "Don't make too much of a commotion..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana nodded, then said anxiously, "Boudica, I won't stay here with you to finish your meal."

Boudica nodded, not trying to stop him, as this matter was more urgent!
