Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Brocade pattern...

Something seems to be wrong.

"System, give me high-definition and high-bitrate images, no compression allowed"

If Xia Zhiyuan had only relied on his memory, he would not have been so sure.

But why not use it if there is a plug-in?

"Don't point at me like that, host, please look——"

The picture just now appeared in his mind again. Xia Zhiyuan enlarged the picture with his fingertips and saw the black hood worn by the man.

Sure enough, there was an ink-colored brocade pattern.

Such good material.

Only the nobles in the imperial city can wear it.

Xia Zhiyuan had seen those country folks in Longcheng several times. When he heard that he was from Jinzhoucheng, he was so scared that his legs trembled and he couldn't even stand up.

Then they must, cannot be... the one standing in the attic.

"Shuiyue material?"

Zhao Changlin came over and recognized at a glance the type of fabric that Xia Zhiyuan had painted.

"Does Your Highness recognize it?"

Nod slightly.

"Well, this is the kind of clothing that the young masters of Jinzhou City like to wear. It has an ink-colored base and ink-colored clouds."

"When you wear it, it's as precious as gold and jade."

"Especially when standing in the sun, it will reflect the colors of clouds and water."

"It's very beautiful."

"My mother also made one for me before."

"But I said that's something for boys to wear, don't wear it."

When Zhao Changlin said this, he looked a little lonely, as if he was thinking about the past.

"Then...did His Highness wear it in the end?"

As the tip of the pen drew the final stroke of the windowsill, Xia Zhiyuan looked up and met Zhao Changlin's eyes.

"Of course I did."

"Because my mother said that as long as the baby looks good, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."

"I think what the Queen Mother said is right."

When Xia Zhiyuan heard this, he put down his brush.

She held Zhao Changlin's cheeks with both hands and smiled slightly.

“Jiyuan thinks so too.”

"Your Highness looks good in anything he wears."

.........

The moon is coming.

The burned man, his finger on his mask, was covered in a black cloak.

Just like a black ghost.

"Boss, Longcheng is under martial law today."

"I'm afraid we can't get out."

He grabbed the ceramic wine jar with his fingers and placed it on the table.

The doors and windows were completely opened at this time.

There were the sounds of uniform footsteps on the street. The officers and soldiers on duty were more diligent than usual, holding rifles and torches.

The tip of the gun was extremely dazzling under the reflection of the firelight.

"Huh! Can't get out?"

"That's because you don't have the ability to get out."

With a disdainful sneer, the man grabbed the wine jar. His palms were burnt and the hideous scars were enough to make one's scalp tingle.

The man stopped drinking after filling up the ceramic bowl, letting the wine spill onto the ground.

He squinted his eyes and looked out the window, only to see that on this busy street, only a few rooms had lights on.

"How many soldiers are there guarding the city gate?"

I heard the man ask.

Dashan quickly stretched out his finger.

"Four people in total."

"Although there are not many people, there are always soldiers patrolling and guarding the streets and outside the city."

"There are also archers on duty on the city walls."

This is the so-called dragnet. Even if they can get out of the city, they cannot escape the surveillance of the archers on the city gate tower.

"How much money do you have left in your pocket now that you come out?"

The man continued to ask.

He pinched the edge of the ceramic bowl with his thumb and poured a sip of wine into his mouth.

"If you come back, there will be one bag left."

"Brothers have to spend money on food and drink...so, we spend a little more."

But as bandits, they put their heads in their belts and can eat, drink, defecate and urinate as they please.

"That's enough. Even the bastard living in this broken tower has never seen such good silver."

Hoarseness.

He stood up and drank the wine in the ceramic bowl.

Because of the mask, his movements were hindered and a lot of wine flowed out of the mask.

It looks creepy.

.........

"Your Majesty, we have completed our deployment."

"Just wait for the thief to be caught!"

The military officer guarding the city knelt on one knee.

He was wearing armor and did not dare to show the slightest negligence on his face.

Zhao Changlin looked up and said in a cold voice.

"Get up."

"It's almost time."

"Has the bait been put down?"

Zhao Changlin did not change his clothes this morning. He just put on soft armor and wrist guards.

But this outfit doesn't look like it's for catching people, instead it looks like hunting on horseback.

"Of course, Your Majesty."

Zhao Changlin stood up and walked to her bow. She stretched out her fingertips and gently grasped it.

He took the bow in his hand.

"Your Highness, are you going to do it yourself?"

Xia Zhiyuan had earlier seen Zhao Changlin's men carefully maintaining the black and gold bow, but she was just guessing in her heart.

Not confirmed.

"Ah."

"There is always room for error, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

Outside the Longcheng city gate, there is an unfinished moat because there are too many rocks in Longcheng, which are difficult to mine and difficult to store water.

Therefore, officials in charge of Longcheng in every dynasty wanted to rebuild the unfinished moat, but they did not have enough money and had no place to transport the rocks.

So I had to give up.

There is some stagnant water in this half-built moat, and occasionally, some idle villagers and fishermen from nearby would go there to fish and raise fish.

The government office in Longcheng didn't take any action either.

They were just warning the people that if anyone drowned it was not their responsibility.

And this unfinished moat naturally...became a residence for beggars and refugees.

They hid under the moat bridge and built huts for themselves using the remaining stones from the moat.

At least I have a place to stay.

However, where there is a lot of water, there are inevitably many snakes, insects, rats, ants and mosquitoes.

The people in the yamen didn't want to deal with the corpses, so they would often send newly appointed constables to disperse these idle people.

Zhao Changlin had long suspected this place. He thought that the craftsman who designed the draft should have left a small path that leads directly into the city.

This path is for the wealthy people of Longcheng to use, that is, in times of war and famine.

The only way to escape from this city is... to go out through the moat.

Now, the moat that has not yet been completed may not have this path built on it, but... Zhao Changlin is still prepared.

"Then I will go with Your Highness."

Xia Zhiyuan stood up straight. She didn't want to sit alone in this big tent and watch His Highness kill her enemies for her.

“Yeah, Ji Won.”

Zhao Changlin carried the quiver engraved with a dragon pattern on his back and also wore a wrist guard on his other hand.

If people haven't practiced this big bow since childhood, most people would not be able to use it.

Xia Zhiyuan had touched it last time. Although it didn't look as majestic as those generals, the range of His Highness's golden bow was extremely long.

"I will definitely not let go of the arrow he shot at you."

Zhao Changlin said firmly.
