Chapter 1587: Dare to Stand Up to Them Hard
“What are you trying to do? Is there no law anymore?”
The man in black, seeing two strangers and noticing that many guests from the guesthouse had already gathered around, frowned and looked at the two with displeasure.
His gaze swept over An Jiuyue’s slightly bulging belly, and he felt waves of annoyance.
“Have you seen a man who is seriously injured, with several subordinates by his side? If you have, speak up imdiately—there’s a generous reward.”
He wished he hadn’t pushed this woman.
Now that she had started shouting, it was impossible for him to conduct a search, with so many onlookers outside. Surely, he couldn’t accuse himself of bullying a pregnant woman, could he?
Although this was just a small Prefectural Governnt, there were still people of high cultivation level, and he didn’t want to provoke too many of them.
“What seriously injured man? Haven’t seen him.”
Zhan Beiye’s gaze was deep as he stared at the man in black, with a hint of murderous intent.
“However, I did see my wife almost get seriously injured. Gentlen, don’t you think you’re being too arrogant when away from ho?” His imposing manner nearly suffocated the opponents.
“You—”
The man in black, feeling the pressure from Zhan Beiye bearing down on them, almost took a step back.
Luckily, he regained his composure in ti to avoid making a fool of himself. His face imdiately darkened, realization dawning that they had encountered a difficult opponent.
Along the way, everyone who saw them had been avoiding them, while this man in front of him dared to stand up to them.
And this man indeed had the strength to stand up to them.
“Since you haven’t seen him, then forget it. Here, this is for you.”
The man directly took out a crystal from his bosom and tossed it over to Zhan Beiye, then led his n and left.
Zhan Beiye watched the crystal ‘roll’ out of his own bosom and onto the ground, then turned to An Jiuyue with a look of exasperation. Did they take him for a beggar?
He had already eaten his fill, hadn’t he?
“Had they not run off so quickly, I would have twisted their heads off!”
After closing the room door, he expressed himself thus to An Jiuyue.
“Why bother with these people, a bunch of lackeys. Did you ever expect them to treat us kindly?” An Jiuyue said, lightly laughing as she poured him a cup of tea.
“Thank you.”
Zhan Beiye took the cup of tea and thanked her.
“It seems they move quickly too. They’ve caught up to us here so soon.”
“As soon as Su Tang returns, we will leave imdiately,” An Jiuyue said.
“Alright, get ready.”
Zhan Beiye agreed, then turned to instruct the two subordinates who were taking care of Xiang Qiyan by the bed.
“Yes, Prince Zhan,” the subordinates replied.
Outside the guesthouse, Su Tang did not enter through the main gate but instead climbed over the wall. As he was about to enter, he saw a large group of n in Black Clothes coming out from the guesthouse.
Without even thinking, he knew they were coming at them from both sides.
Fortunately, he had hidden in ti and was not discovered, especially since, on his way back with food, he found his own portrait in those people’s hands.
Portraits of his prince and the other guards by the prince’s side as well.
They were determined to catch them all and silence them for good.
“Prince Zhan, Madam Qian, I saw many n in Black Clothes outside; is everything alright here?”
However, it was pointless to ask—if they hadn’t searched here, the n in Black Clothes wouldn’t have left; they surely must have not searched thoroughly.
