Chapter 225 The Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion

As she walked, she suddenly realized that the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion should also be in the inner city!

A thought flashed through her mind: If that's the case, why not go to the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion to find out what's going on?

Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but feel secretly pleased with herself, and sighed inwardly: Hehe, I'm such a clever girl!

Su Yue dared not openly ask others, lest she be misunderstood.

So she decided to search for good ones with Dali one by one.

After a great deal of effort and searching around, the two discovered that the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was only two houses away from the Gu Mansion.

Afterwards, the two of them strolled around the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion carefully.

It was quite a sight to behold; once you looked, you were astonished to find that the Prince's mansion was heavily guarded during the day!

In this way, sneaking in would be harder than climbing to heaven.

After much deliberation, the two decided to hold back for now and wait patiently until nightfall before making any further plans.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, it was completely dark.

Only then did the two of them manage to find a place with relatively few guards and tiptoe over the wall to enter.

Upon entering the Prince's mansion, Su Yue was surprised to find that what should have been a large back garden was actually a martial arts training ground.

At this moment, the two of them pressed themselves tightly against the roof, their eyes fixed on the people training hard in the training ground below.

"Dali, take a look! Which one of these people is the legendary King Zhenbei?" Su Yue whispered to Dali beside her.

Upon hearing this, Dali first took a bite of the apple in his hand, then smacked his lips and chewed a few times before vaguely replying, "I know too!"

The training ground was bustling with activity, and people seemed to be talking about hunting activities and Yulin Mountain.

Unfortunately, Su Yue was in a somewhat remote location, so she couldn't hear it clearly.

She had no choice but to let Dali stay where he was and wait, while she quietly moved towards the corner of the wall that was closer to the training ground.

However, when Su Yue finally arrived at the corner closest to the training ground, she was dismayed to find that the once bustling training ground was now almost deserted.

Su Yue had no choice but to happily go back to find Dali.

Just as Su Yue landed after scaling the high wall, she caught a glimpse of a man who appeared to be around forty or fifty years old not far ahead.

This person's behavior was extremely strange, his figure flickering unpredictably, as if he was deliberately avoiding someone's gaze.

Judging from his appearance, he is certainly not a kind person. Otherwise, why would he be hiding so suspiciously in the dead of night?

Su Yue thought to herself, her eyes fixed intently on the man.

She quickly crouched down and picked up a hard clod of earth from the ground beneath her feet.

With a flick of her arm, a clod of earth shot out like an arrow, striking the man squarely on the back of the head.

With a muffled thud, the man didn't even have time to utter a cry before his vision went black and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Su Yue cautiously looked around, and after confirming that no one else was nearby, she quickly ran forward. She bent down and effortlessly hoisted the man who had fallen to the ground onto her shoulder.

Then, she ran towards Dali. She moved with incredible speed, and soon Su Yue found Dali, who had been waiting for her.

After the two met up, they sped up and quickly left the area where the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion was located.

They hurried along until they finally arrived at a secluded dead-end alley.

After entering the alley, Su Yue casually threw the man she was carrying on her shoulder onto the ground.

The unconscious man fell heavily to the ground, immediately wincing in pain.

He subconsciously reached out and rubbed his head where Su Yue had hit him, groaning "Ouch, ouch" from time to time.

After a long while, the man slowly opened his eyes and sat up unsteadily.

When he looked up and saw his surroundings, his expression changed drastically.

It turned out that he was no longer with them, but was now in this dark, narrow, and deserted dead end.

Before him stood two strangers—Su Yue and Dali.

The man was startled. The first thought that flashed through his mind was: These two must be highly skilled masters, otherwise how could they have subdued him so easily and brought him here?

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but want to think more.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?" the man asked, his face filled with fear and confusion.

Su Yue, hands on her hips, retorted aggressively, "Hmph, I'd like to ask you who you really are!"

Tell me the truth right now, what exactly were you planning to do in the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion?

Let me make this clear to you, I saw everything from beginning to end. Now it's up to you whether you're willing to honestly confess and receive leniency!

Su Yue deliberately put on a fierce look and glared at the man in front of her.

The man was completely bewildered by Su Yue's words and was utterly dumbfounded.

I thought to myself: When did I become so sneaky and furtive? Besides, that's clearly my home!

Seeing that the man did not react, Su Yue threatened again, "Hey, why are you staring at me like that?"

To tell you the truth, the Prince of Zhenbei is my sworn brother. We have a bond that transcends life and death!

"If you don't honestly tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll have you thrown into jail right now, and no matter how much you cry and wail, it won't do you any good!" After saying that, Su Yue proudly raised her chin.

Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but chuckle.

He looked Su Yue up and down, thinking to himself: This guy actually claims to be good brothers with the Prince of Zhenbei, but he didn't even recognize me, and I don't remember when I had such a young brother.

Judging from his appearance, how could he be a spy or assassin sent by another country to assassinate him?

"Hey! I'm asking you a question right now! Stop giving me this nonsense and get to the bottom of this!"

Su Yue stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at the person in front of her, showing no embarrassment whatsoever at having her lie exposed.

Upon hearing this, the man who claimed to be the steward of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion calmly raised his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He revealed a half-smile: "Oh? Is that so? Well then, since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you."

Actually, I really am the steward of the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion. I wonder if you believe me, young lady?" After saying that, she deliberately winked, seemingly very confident in what she was saying.
