Mr. Ma has been very depressed recently. Only after the name of their county was changed to Jinchan County, there have been reports of missing family members every night for the past six months. As a master, he wakes up in the middle of the night almost every night to deal with cases.
But in the past six months, not to mention finding those missing people, even the most famous head catcher in the city has no clue about this kind of case, and can only treat those people as if they ran away from home. Anyone who understands understands that people disappear every day, how could they all run away from home
That night Mr. Ma thought he could have a good sleep, but he was awakened by someone shaking in his sleep. He heard a high-ranking official's unannounced visit in a daze. He was so scared that he immediately lifted his pants and ran to the city wall. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a strange thing!
Seeing Lu Yang being pushed and shoved by all the guards, Mr. Ma was even more furious. This guy who was about to die didn't panic at all, as if he was born with an unruffled temperament!
"When I bring you in front of the princess, I'll have some good fruits for you!" Mr. Ma muttered to himself, walking ahead sullenly. After a whole night of tossing, the sky in the east was already slightly bright. Mr. Ma reckoned that in another half an hour, the Princess must have finished her bed.
After bringing Lu Yang to the Princess's Mansion, Mr. Ma first explained to the guards in charge, and then hurried to the Princess's Mansion, apparently to check if the Princess has woken up.
Lu Yang looked at the resplendent county in front of him, it was hard for him to imagine that the princess of this side lived such a luxurious life. Judging from the coloring of the princess mansion, it is obvious that this kind of princess mansion has been renovated within half a year. This extremely wasteful style can't help but arouse Lu Yang's disgust.
"Hey, aren't you scared?" The guards in the lead chatted with Lu Yang after seeing Master Ma leaving, "Looking at your clothes, you are a foreigner, right? You may not know that in our Jinchan County, ordinary people are not allowed to go out at night!"
"It's forbidden to go out at night?" Although Lu Yang has always adhered to the routine of going to bed early and getting up early without nightlife, he was still quite puzzled by the guard's words. As for asking him if he was afraid, he directly ignored it.
"It seems that you really don't know." The leading guard couldn't help talking about the past: "We've been very uneasy recently! The princess has issued a no-foot order to prevent civilians from going out, but anyone who goes out at night will be severely punished if caught!"
"Leader, with such a dying person, there's no need to tell him so much, right?" The guard guarding Lu Yang yawned. He was on night shift all night, and now he just wanted to get off work early and go home to sleep.
The guard of the team leader glanced at his yawning subordinate, smiled and stopped talking. It could be seen that the team leader was kind to his subordinates, at least he didn't have any pretensions.
After a short period of silence, Master Ma slowly walked out of the Princess's Mansion. He waved to the leading guard and motioned for him to bring Lu Yang in.
The leading guard nodded, he walked behind Lu Yang, and gave Lu Yang a symbolic push: "Let's go!"
Lu Yang frowned slightly and was taken to the Princess's Mansion. For a traveler like him, such a development would be too unlucky.
As the gate of the princess mansion was opened, the scene inside the princess mansion also came into Lu Yang's eyes. To Lu Yang's surprise, the decoration in the Princess's Mansion seemed out of place with the newly renovated walls.
It may also be because of the dawn just now, the gorgeous princess mansion is extremely dark. There are only a few candles lit for lighting in the mansion. There are incense burners on both sides of the road leading to the interior, and the air is filled with satin-like smoke.
The moment Lu Yang walked into the princess mansion, the door behind him was shut tightly with a bang. Lu Yang could only rely on the faint light of the candle, and was led by Master Ma and the leading guard to walk towards the Palace of the Princess.
"It's too dark in here." Lu Yang couldn't help saying.
The leading guard looked at Lu Yang's puzzled expression, and couldn't help explaining to Lu Yang: "The princess fell ill last year and suffered from eye problems. If the light is too bright, it will affect the princess' recovery. This is what the royal doctor personally told us."
Master Ma glanced at Lu Yang and said angrily, "Treasure it, you won't be able to see it when you die!"
"You old man, can you stop being so unlucky when you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut?" Lu Yang couldn't help complaining, compared with Uncle Li next door to his house, this guy is really unqualified.
"I'd like to see how long you can hold on!" Master Ma really couldn't understand Lu Yang's stubborn attitude when he was about to die. After he confirmed that the chains on Lu Yang's body were fastened, he directly pushed Lu Yang forward: "Go in by yourself!"

Lu Yang staggered from being pushed, and when he realized, he had already been pushed into another door by Mr. Ma. Master Ma behind him looked at Lu Yang with a cold face, and then closed the door.
Compared with the outside, the candlelight in this room was even more dim. Two rows of guards in silver armor stood on both sides of the room, and at the end of the room, behind a roller curtain, candlelight flickered slightly, vaguely reflecting the silhouette of a slender woman.
"Master Ma has already told the princess about you just now."
Unexpectedly, this woman's voice sounded particularly pleasant. Between the faltering of the tone, there was a sense of Yujie who was knowledgeable and reasonable.
"I heard that you claimed to go to the city wall to catch the assassin? If what you said is true, then you might as well tell the princess what the assassin you said looks like? If you can tell, the princess may spare your life."
The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly behind the curtain. She thought that most people would panic subconsciously in such a situation.
If this person hadn't encountered any assassins at all, after hearing what she said, he would definitely make up a person's appearance to protect himself.
When facing the line of life and death, an ordinary person like him would never have thought that an assassin would choose to cover his face when he went out. The more detailed he described the appearance of the "assassin" in his mouth, the closer he was to death!
Lu Yang knew that now was his only chance to wash away the punishment on himself. As a time traveler, although he didn't have any special abilities, given his current situation, even if he had special abilities, he might not be able to escape, right
"What does that assassin look like?" Lu Yang muttered, recalling what happened just now.
The princess behind the curtain looked at Lu Yang's pensive look, his eyes became more and more gloomy.
"If I remember correctly, that person's name is Xiqiao, and his measurements are 85, 59, 86!" Lu Yang said the answer frankly after confirming that his judgment was correct.
"Hahahaha, it's really interesting..." Hearing this, the princess suddenly let out a hearty laugh, but then her voice became extremely cold: "Although I don't know what measurements you are talking about, I didn't expect that you even know the name of the assassin!"
