The door was bolted from the inside. The door could be opened by pulling the bolt. After opening the door, Bai Zhi asked Qian Hua to go out first, and then she closed the door easily outside.

Outside the door was a long and narrow alley. The alley was so narrow that a carriage can’t pass it. No wonder there was no one here.

Qian Hua said: “The guards here are all highly skilled in martial arts. I don’t know where Song Lang found these people.”

Bai Zhi dragged him forward and whispered: “Even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse. The Song family is considered a big family in the Kingdom of Jin. Even if you ransack their home, they will not be wiped out overnight. There will always be some secret forces.”

Qian Hua glanced at Bai Zhi, then moved his eyes on the arm that she was holding. He pulled his arm and said in a deep voice: “I will go by myself.”

Bai Zhi saw the disgust looked on his face. As if she wanted to him. Bai Zhi snorted and patted her palms: “Then you should follow up quickly, don’t drag me down.”

With that said, she quickly stepped forward and walked in front of him.

Before they reached the alley, they heard a noisy shout from behind.

“Over there, chase–“

Bai Zhi became anxious, she turned around and grabbed Prince Qian Hua: “You bear with it for a while. When we are safe, I promise not to touch you again.”

Bai Zhi dragged him hurriedly out of the alley and plunged into the lively street market.

Song Lang looked furious and frustrated. He walked away for a while. But the next moment, the unconscious person was gone, and even Qian Hua went missing. The desired result he worked so hard was broken?

The old man shook his head secretly and sighed, “If gongzi tried to listen to this old slave’s persuasion earlier, not to provoke this girl, there won’t be today.”

Song Lang stared at him angrily: “What’s the use of saying this now?”

Regardless of whether his young master was angry or not, the old man still said: “Gongzi, now the boat has sunk. This is the capital. Such a big noise is bound to alarm the government. Once it happened, I’m afraid we won’t be able to go to the place we plan to go.”

Song Lang didn’t know what to do. He wanted him to abandon that girl, how could be willing?

“Gongzi, if you don’t leave now, you really won’t be able to leave.” The old man said anxiously.

At this time, someone rushed over, “Not good. Someone reported that Prince Jin and Dongfang Mu’s people are coming here aggressively. We are probably not their opponents.”

The old man didn’t care about that much anymore. He clasped Song Lang’s arm with one hand and pulled him to the secret door: “Go, go now.”

Song Lang didn’t resist anymore, he knew that now things turned out like this, he had to give up even if he was reluctant to.

Hu Feng and Dongfang Mu rushed into the inner courtyard and rummaged through all the courtyards, only to find Bai Zhi’s bad in the room and didn’t see anyone.

The cloth bag was filled with the things that Bai Zhi uses in daily life, and there was also the book. She has always been thinking about this Theory of Strange Pulse. It was still in the bag and didn’t disappear.

“Where is that person Song Lan?” Hu Feng shouted at the guard.

The guards shook their heads: “Not found, he’s not here.”

“His Royal Highness, there is a secret door here.”

After hearing this, Hu Feng and Dongfang Mu hurriedly rushed over. It turned out to be a secret door. Outside the door was a shop, and outside the shop was a lively street market. People had long since disappeared.

Hu Feng said to the guard: “Immediately send someone to set up a checkpoint at the city gate. Be sure to the people for me.” At this time, Zhou Awu dragged a 14-five-year-old boy, with the other guards.

“His Royal Highness, this person said that Zhi’er took the prince of Jin Country and ran away. When we came, their people were looking for the two of them.”  

*Even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse (Idiom) – even after suffering a loss, a rich person is still better off than ordinary people.
