As the young man was being carried over the wall, he turned back and uttered two words to her: “Thank you!”

Observing this exchange, Qin Zhenzhen turned to Su Ning and inquired, “How old did he appear to be?”

Su Ning responded, “He seemed to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he was dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, I suspect it was a disguise… ”

Qin Zhenzhen silently nodded, recognizing that his age matched that of the male lead in the original book, Chu Tiansheng.

Even Su Ning could discern that he was concealing his true ident.i.ty, drawing a parallel with Chu Tiansheng, who possessed the protagonist’s aura.

Curiosity got the better of Qin Zhenzhen as she asked again, “Was he particularly good -looking?”

Su Ning’s face flushed slightly as she replied, “He was incredibly handsome…

but not as handsome as Third Brother!”

It was evident that Su Ning didn’t truly believe her own words.

In the original book, Chu Tiansheng was undeniably depicted as the most handsome character. The novel distinguished Su Bin’s beauty as dark and suffocating, cloaked in an air of mystery and aloofness, as he maintained an unusual aversion to women. His demeanor was marked by abstinence and an enigmatic quality, further enhanced by his perception of the world as an adversary, earning him the reputation of being ruthless.

On the other hand, Chu Tiansheng’s beauty radiated with brightness and positive energy, retaining an optimistic and determined disposition even in the face of adversity. Throughout the book’s plot, he underwent a transformation from a delicate and feeble prince who required rearing away from the capital to becoming a formidable ruler of the nation, ascending through perseverance and growth.

Chu Tiansheng was the epitome of a traditional and optimistic male lead.

It could be said that Chu Tiansheng’s beauty was so radiant that it brought comfort to those who beheld it.

Observing Su Ning’s expression, Qin Zhenzhen decided to cease her inquiries.

It seemed highly likely that the young man was indeed Chu Tiansheng.

However, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but wonder.

After the Eighth Imperial Uncle had ascended the throne, he regarded Chu Tiansheng as a potential threat and had ordered his pursuit. Now that the Eighth Imperial Uncle had been overthrown, who could still be interested in hunting down Chu Tiansheng?

Could it be that the Crown Prince, influenced by the Eighth Imperial Uncle’s actions, feared that Chu Tiansheng might pose a threat to his reign in the future and sought to eliminate him preemptively?

This was because Chu Tiansheng’s maternal family hailed from the General’s Mansion, and his eldest uncle commanded a formidable military force of 300,000 troops, guarding the border.

There were legitimate reasons for the Crown Prince’s apprehension regarding Chu Tiansheng.

The magistrate’s wife proceeded to the backyard, where the guards and servants who had pursued the intruders had also returned to provide a report.

They stated that they had found no trace of the middle-aged man and the young man and were uncertain of their whereabouts. However, there were bloodstains leading outside the wall, along with three corpses dressed in black attire. Not far from these bodies, they discovered additional corpses similarly attired.

An official had arrived at the scene as well.

A contingent of them had chased after the middle-aged man and the youth, while others remained behind to collect evidence from the witnesses.

According to accounts from those outside the wall, the middle-aged man and young man had been pursued by a group of individuals in black attire from the marketplace. Despite the middle-aged man’s martial skills and his declaration, “Who are you? The current Third Prince is here. Show some respect!” those pursuers intensified their attack, seemingly incensed by his alleged impersonation of the Third Prince.

“How dare you! How dare you impersonate the Third Prince and mislead others!”

“Flower thief, meet your end!”

“How dare you lay hands on the daughter of our Flying Cloud Tribe Master?

You shall pay with your life!”

This group of individuals fought with unwavering determination. The soldiers hadn’t arrived promptly, and the middle-aged man and the young man may have opted to flee due to concerns about being outnumbered.

The pursuers in black continued their chase. During the pursuit, another group of individuals dressed in black suddenly emerged, attacking from both sides in an attempt to eliminate the two fugitives..
