Chapter 97
……

And the other side.

This hidden guard has been watching here all the time, and has never left for a moment!
However, the longer he waited, the deeper his frown became.

Princess, she...

How come it's been so long?
After waiting for a while, the dark guard's face changed, as if he suddenly thought of something.

Princess, she... Could it be, she's not inside, right?

Thinking of this, the hidden guard rushed inside.

Then, he looked around, and he really didn't find the princess!

He panicked, and then he hurried to find it.

As expected of Chu Xun's hidden guard, after some searching, he found that there were indeed some traces of climbing over the wall!
So, now, he concluded that the princess must have climbed over from this side of the wall...

Soon, the hidden guard, he came to the outside of the wall.

He looked at the footprints on the ground, and the smell, etc., and then quickly, centering on this place, he searched around.

After searching for a while, he still found nothing!

However, he seems to have heard some very slight voices...

People like them who have practiced martial arts all year round, their hearing and other perceptual abilities are sharper than ordinary people, and they are a little sharper!
Without hesitation, he followed the source of the sound and searched for it all the way.

……

Finally, hard work pays off!
He finally found the princess in a very remote alley!
However, he found that the scars all over the princess, especially the face of the princess, had some red marks!
Here in this alley, there are a few tall and strong men.

Ever since, the hidden guard guessed that it was these strong men who kidnapped the princess.

And at this time, these strong men also discovered the existence of the hidden guard.

They also recognized it, the logo on the dark guard's clothes.

For a while, some of them panicked.

"This……"

"Isn't this the symbol of King Chen's army?"

Before they had time to react, the hidden guard rushed towards them.

They didn't see the shadow guard's figure clearly, and it was too late to dodge.

The dark guards went down three times, five times and two times out, and they got rid of all these strong men!
At this time, Ji Jiaoyue opened her eyes with some difficulty.

Naturally, she also knew that it was the hidden guard in front of her who saved her and her own maid.

The hidden guard walked towards her, "Princess, please forgive me, it's because my subordinates came too late to save me!"

Hearing what he said, Ji Jiaoyue felt more and more guilty in her heart.

"It's none of your business, I decided to sneak away over the wall!"

While talking, Ji Jiaoyue returned and woke up her comatose maid.

……

Soon, the dark guard took her all the way back to the Prince Chen's mansion.

Chu Xun had been waiting for them all along.

When he saw some scars on Ji Jiaoyue's body, Chu Xun's complexion immediately changed.

He hugged Ji Jiaoyue up, and quickly gave orders to the housekeeper.

"Quick, let the imperial doctor come here!"

Seeing him so nervous about herself, Ji Jiaoyue was very surprised, and felt flattered in her heart.

The butler obediently complied.

Not long after, the imperial doctor came here.

The imperial doctor is also very clear about how important Ji Jiaoyue is to Chu Xun.

Henceforth, the imperial doctor treated Ji Jiaoyue's wound very carefully.

At this time, Chu Xun also looked at the hidden guard.

His face was stern, and his tone was surprisingly indifferent.

"How did you protect the princess? She suffered so many injuries!"

This hidden guard had knelt on the ground since he entered.

"My lord, it's my subordinate's fault! This subordinate willingly accepts the punishment..."

Chu Xun's expression was still grim, "You didn't protect the princess well! Of course you should be punished..."

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Ji Jiaoyue hurriedly spoke up.

"My lord, it's none of his business!"

"I sneaked out over the wall by myself. He didn't know where I went at all. It took him a long time to find me!"

"So, my lord, don't punish him, it's my own fault..."

Hearing what she said, Chu Xun still didn't change his mind.

"No, he didn't protect you well, it's his dereliction of duty!"

After all, Chu Xun didn't say much, and started talking directly.

"Leadership!"

Hearing those three words, the dark guard's expression changed drastically.

military law……

That's going to be punished with fifty sticks!

If he was really hit by these fifty big sticks, he would definitely be seriously injured. If one is bad...

Thinking of this, the dark guard stopped thinking about it.

Although it will be very strict if it is dealt with according to military law.

However, the hidden guard didn't beg for mercy, or anything else, he just bowed to Chu Xun.

"Yes, my lord, this subordinate accepts the punishment!"

Soon, some people, carrying two big sticks, walked towards the hidden guard.

Then, the stick fell to the ground and landed on the body of the hidden guard.

Although the military law was difficult, the hidden guard still gritted his teeth and endured without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Ji Jiaoyue felt more and more guilty and guilty.

If it wasn't for her, the hidden guard, he wouldn't have been punished like this.

She still wanted to open her mouth to plead with Chu Xun for the secret guard.

However, before she could say anything, the housekeeper gave her a wink.

Immediately, the housekeeper spoke softly to her.

"Princess, this old slave thinks, you'd better not plead with the lord..."

"When the prince is dealing with people, it is impossible to change the decisions he makes. If someone else is begging for mercy, the prince will only punish him harder!"

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Ji Jiaoyue had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.

After a while, Ji Jiaoyue saw the dark guard's face, something was not quite right.

Ji Jiaoyue frowned tightly.

She doesn't want to involve others or hurt others at all.

Ever since, she couldn't bear it anymore.

She stood up all of a sudden, "My lord!"

"My lord, this time, it was really my own fault. I made my own decision and wanted to sneak away. Then, I was accidentally tied up in an alley!"

"All of this has nothing to do with this hidden guard. He didn't know that something would happen to me in advance..."

"So, my lord, can you spare him?"
