The Prince Bride's

02. The Plan of Escape That Causes Catastrophe.

“Xiao Du wants to give a report to Sir. The king had just issued his edict, which was an arranged marriage between the third prince and the daughter of the prime minister Lian.”

The man called Master silenced a slanted smile, while one hand placed a chess piece into the board.

"King is not careful," that's the only response from the news that might be a big news for him.

Xiao Du scrunched his forehead, he did not understand the intent of his master. The king's decision was usually negotiated with the ministers and elders of the palace so it was the best decision. So it's a little strange if the master calls the king less thorough.

"I mean Sir?"

"Do you know the reason behind that?"

Xiao Du nodded, "The king is indeed used to bestow gifts to the accomplished prime minister."

"It's not that simple as Xiao Du.." the man gulped down a cup of flower tea before continuing his sentence. "The Lian family kept many important roles in the kingdom, Lian Hanwu became the leader of Chuo city, and, Lian Zhenxi became a young general who later had the opportunity to rise through the ranks and Lian Yu Min became a powerful right-wing prime minister. Coupled with the Lian family's considerable wealth, it was certainly possible for the Lian family to revolt."

Both of Xiao Du's eyeballs grew bigger, he naturally did not think of an excuse until it was that detailed. "So the King was afraid that the prime minister Lian would revolt and marry the daughter of the Lian family to the third prince" Xiao Du concluded.

"Although the Lian family is superior but a new rebellion can be done if you get one support from a member of the kingdom, for example, a prince. The third prince was the most useless prince, so the Lian family would not have a chance of rebelling if his son-in-law was the third prince."

"Woah, sir is very thorough." Praise Xiao Du.

"The less conscientious king because his efforts would be in vain, prime minister Lian was an honest and loyal person. All this time never supporting anyone and standing alone." after saying that line, he grabbed a golden mask that further covered part of his face.

"Where are you going?"

"Call Bai to follow me."

"Sir, am I?"

"Let alone Xiao Du, there will soon be a guest for you." Instead of answering Xiao Du's question, he gave the order and left the place.

A servant's garment had been attached to his body, all his hair ornaments and jewels had been removed. Lan Hua wore a veil that covered part of her face, only exposing her eyes upwards.

"Grand I have to find lodging first."

Lan Hua stepped into the small alley, she did not memorize this path but she was sure she would not get lost.

"Hi Miss,"

A sentence made Lan Hua's footsteps come to a halt, from the tone she heard it was a disgusting flirtatious tone. Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head that Lan Hua saw were two men with a pungent smell of wine, apparently they were street drunkards who were often nosy.

Although with a veil that covered part of her face but the beauty of Lan Hua could not be hidden anymore. The tub is so beautiful with a slender waist and a fully filled chest. No wonder the two people were directly teasing Lan Hua even though they were drunk.

"Don't fuck around!"

In fact the sentence did not shake the drunk man at all, they kept coming closer towards Lan Hua. Lan Hua swung her legs and hugged one of them until she fell down, but that apparently sparked their anger.

"What is this storm?"

Coming again three people towards them, it made Lan Hua sigh. Although he has martial arts but he is not that great to be able to defeat them all. "Hais, I should have learned to go deeper."

Lan Hua's last choice was to run away from them, with her light body Lan Hua running towards the small alley and continuing to scour her. They had indeed chased after Lan Hua, but their pace had lost far.

"The girl's headed for the forbidden area!" yell at one of them.

"Have not been pursued, if you want to be saved." another person now said. Letting Lan Hua run deeper into the rows of creepy old buildings.
