Chapter 260 The Third Princess?
As Chu Bai’s attire was too eye-catching, he took off the helmet and his cloak, only wearing a mask.

He had put in so much effort for this mission. If he did not get a good reward, it would really be unreasonable.

The team headed east.

Chu Bai was driving the carriage that carried Lan Xingxing.

!!
On the other hand…

The old man led the team to search the city.

A large number of people had quietly gathered in Xuanhuo City to look for Chu Bai and Lan Xingxing.

However, they could not find any clues after searching for a long time.

“My Lord, are they not in this city?”

“That’s right, Sir. We’ve been searching for so long but we haven’t found them. Did they do reverse psychology by not entering the city at all?”

The old man’s eyes narrowed. “If they didn’t enter the city, they’d be courting death. There’s no need to rush. The city is so big, and there are so many people. Let’s search again. All the paths to the Imperial City are strictly guarded by our people. Once they pass through, they’ll definitely die. We can’t let the third princess escape this time!”

“Noted!”

…

The sky had completely darkened.

Lu Yufan and the others also inquired about Chu Bai’s situation one after another. They found out that he was still on a mission and knew that this mission was definitely not as simple as they had imagined.

Thus, they did not disturb Chu Bai.

Chu Bai was taking the main road. After all, he had the empire’s troops with him, so they did not have to take the small roads.

“Everyone, pay attention. We’ve completely left the range of the major cities. This place is in the wilderness, and it’s easy for the Soaring Eagle Union to ambush us.”

A Gold Guard riding a horse in front shouted.

“Yes!”

The Soaring Eagle Union was the organization that always ambushed the supply team of the empire.

Each of them had extraordinary strength and excellent skills.

They came and went without a trace. Generally speaking, every operation was carefully planned. They would end the battle at an extremely fast speed and then leave with the supplies.

The guards would be caught off guard upon encountering the members of the Soaring Eagle Union.

Farther ahead, there were a few people crouching in the dark.

They were all wearing black robes and masks.

“Lord Liu, there’s a group of horses coming over.”

“A mercenary group?” the old man asked.

“It’s too dark. I can’t see them clearly.”

“Noted!”

“Wait until we get closer,” Lord Liu said. “It’s very likely that the third princess is hiding here.”

“Noted!”

Soon, Chu Bai and the others arrived nearby.

Chu Bai also discovered the people hiding in the dark through his Evil Dragon Snooping.

Chu Bai said to a Gold Guard beside him, “There are people in the dark ahead, five of them.”

The guard suddenly frowned!

“Could it be the Soaring Eagle Union?”

As expected of someone who could accept the escort mission. He was not simple.

“Stop!” he shouted. “Be alert!”

Everyone took out their weapons.

Following that, the Gold Guard shouted, “Who’s hiding in the dark? Quickly show yourself.”

In the dark…

Those people were stunned.

“We’ve been discovered?”

Lord Liu said, “This is the empire’s army. There’s no need to hide. Let’s go out.”

“Alright!”

They walked out.

“Who is it?”

The Gold Guards pointed their weapons at them warily.

Lord Liu then took out a token.

“Heavenly Tiger Army.”

Lord Liu said.

“So, it’s the Heavenly Tiger Army!”

They put away their weapons and cupped their fists. “Nice to meet you!”

The Heavenly Tiger Army and the Heavenly Dragon Army were the armies of the empire. The difference was that the Heavenly Dragon Army was older. Although they served the empire, their true master was not the emperor.

The Heavenly Tiger Army was an army that was built after the Heavenly Dragon Army. This army was completely under the control of the emperor and truly belonged to the emperor.

In fact, he wanted to replace the Heavenly Dragon Army with the Heavenly Tiger Army.

Although there were not that many soldiers in the Heavenly Dragon Army, every one of them was an expert. They were extremely disciplined and were even willing to die for their brothers. Therefore, the combat strength of the Heavenly Dragon Army was definitely incomparable to that of the Heavenly Tiger Army.

The only thing that could be compared was the number of people.

Moreover, the duties of the Heavenly Dragon Army were simple, but the duties of the Heavenly Tiger Army might be much more complicated.

“Are you escorting military pay?”

Lord Liu asked.

“Yes!”

“Where to?”

Lord Liu asked.

“Xuantian City.”

“I see.”

Lord Liu nodded.

“Please be careful of the Soaring Eagle Union.”

“Thank you for the reminder. Let’s go!”

Then, they walked forward.

“Wait!”

Lord Liu noticed Chu Bai and the carriage.

“Who is in this carriage?”

It was a little strange.

Logically speaking, why was a carriage needed to transport supplies?

Unless it was someone with a relatively noble status, adults would use a horse carriage.

Chu Bai glanced at Lord Liu and said, “Aren’t you being a little too nosy?”

Lord Liu frowned.

Indeed.

Although they were all from the empire, he was not their superior.

“A lord. As for who this lord is, I think it’s best if you don’t know,” Chu Bai said just as Lord Liu was about to speak.

Following that, Chu Bai turned his head and said to Lan Xingxing in the carriage, “My lord, we’re leaving now.”

In front of them, Lord Liu and the others gave way, allowing Chu Bai and the others to pass through successfully.

“Sir, who could it be?”

Lord Liu looked at the back of the convoy and said, “It’s none of my business. However, from the tone and words of that person, it seems that there’s an extraordinary existence in this carriage.”

“Indeed.” They nodded.

Lord Liu said, “Although we have a mission to complete, we shouldn’t bother about such matters. This place is close to Imperial City. There are too many people with extraordinary statuses.”

“In that case… What if the third princess is borrowing their army? With the third princess’ status, I don’t think any city lord would refuse to escort her, right?” someone asked.

“There’s no need to doubt it. The third princess wouldn’t dare to do so because she’s not sure which city lord is one of our people. If she really dared to do so, she would have asked the city lord to send an army to escort her when she left the vicinity of Tianhua City.”

Lord Liu said.

“Understood.”

Chu Bai had not expected this.

He could only say that he was lucky. Zhao Huo was indeed not one of them.

However, Chu Bai was now thinking about Lan Xingxing’s identity.

The people who stopped her were from the Heavenly Tiger Army, and these few people from the Heavenly Tiger Army seemed to be looking for her. If they had not been with the army, they would not have shown their tokens.

The Heavenly Tiger Army belonged to the imperial family. If the imperial family wanted to kill her… What was her identity?

At that time, she said that there were several parties chasing after her, and one of them was the Spirit Sword Sect. That meant that she was probably from the empire and the imperial family.

At this moment, the sound of a flying rope suddenly came from the side.

“This is bad! Enemy attack!”

Everyone panicked.

They saw the patterns on the robes of the people around them.

“It’s the members of the Soaring Eagle Union!”

“Hurry up! Defend!”

Chu Bai frowned. He then said to Lan Xingxing inside, “Stay inside and don’t come out.”

Lan Xingxing replied softly.

It was too thrilling!

They had just passed right under their noses.

Chu Bai glanced at the situation.

Then, he shouted to the people behind him, “Go and get the Heavenly Tiger Army to come over and help.”

“Yes!”

A Gold Guard rode a horse and rushed toward the back!

Of course, Chu Bai had to make use of those he could use.
