158 Familiar Situation (1/2)

Although there were rumors of impending war, the capital city of Da Cheng was still bustling with people. Bright and colorful lanterns hung along the streets. It was as if the citizen of Da Cheng were not informed of the rumor that Qian Rong and Eastern Zhou were coming to attack them.

Seeing the people walking down the street happily as if there were a festival going on make the Princess smile. However, the smile on her face gradually disappeared as she recalled the time she went out with Mingyue. Time past by and by then, Mingyue has disappeared for five years. The Princess' steps became slower as she was deep in her thought.

”Your Highness. Are you tired? Should we stop somewhere to rest?” Jiang Xiao Tian asked.

Princess Lingchen snapped out of her trance and shook her head. ”I'm fine. I just had a few things on my mind. We shouldn't delay and kept our guest waiting for-”

Her words were left unfinished as she felt someone bumped into her. At that moment, she felt something slid off her arms. Before Princess Lingchen could react, Jiang Xiao Tian had chased after a small boy. When the Princess looked up, she saw her pouch in the boy's hand.

Before Jiang Xiao Tian could chase after the boy, someone had come forward and stop the boy from getting further. A man wearing a silver, half mask grabbed the boy and brought him back to the Princess.

”Release me, you imbecile!” the small boy yelled.

The man in the silver mask glanced towards the boy, and the boy instantly shut his mouth. His body trembled as his wide eyes made contact with the man. When the man noticed Jiang Xiao Tian beside him, he quickly handed over the small boy. Then, he walked towards the Princess and clasped his hands. ”Greetings. It has been a while since our last meeting.” his lips curved into a small smile as he spoke. ”You were still as careless as before.”

Princess Lingchen continued to stare at the man before her. She could not help but feel that the man in the silver mask and the situation was somewhat familiar. As she noticed that Jiang Xiao Tian had his guard down around the man, Princess Lingchen knew that the man in the silver mask was not a threat to her.

”You are?”

”You don't recognize me?”

A small frown appeared on the Princess' face as she recalled the man. Once upon a time, when she went out into the city with Mingyue, she had encountered the man in the silver mask. At that time, this man had helped her to stop a kid from stealing her wallet. It seemed that history was repeating.

No wonder the man would dare to say that she was still careless as before.

”Five years ago, you helped me to stop a boy from snatching my pouch,” Princess Lingchen said.

The man was startled. But soon, a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Jiang Xiao Tian and nodded before he spoke, ”We should go now. I'm sure that there are a lot of things to be discussed.” He turned to the Princess and said, ”After you.”

Thinking that the man wanted to excuse himself, Princess Lingchen walked ahead. However, as she walked further, the Crown Princess began to notice that the man was trailing after them. The Princess glanced at her guard, Jiang Xiao Tian, and raised a brow.
