Chapter 366: Little Thief

The guards patted their chests and promised confidently, “We’ve guarded all the exits. I guarantee that not even a flying insect can leave!”
The second prince had ordered that no one was allowed to enter his room without permission. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy. Hence, they could only watch from the outside and could not go in to arrest the person directly. However, they were not worried at all, because even the windows and roof were guarded by their people. They guaranteed that the thief would not be able to escape even if he had wings.
However, when the second prince and his personal guards entered the house warily, they realized that all the places where they could hide were empty. The second prince suddenly panicked. He strode to a bookshelf and twisted the mechanism. Xiaoxiao saw the wall turn, revealing a secret room.
Yes, as expected, there were always traps in a bad person’s room.
She did not know when she would be able to find it herself. Why not let the second prince lead the way personally? She was so smart. She loved herself!
Even the personal guards were not allowed to enter this place. The second prince personally entered with a scimitar, but he returned empty-handed. “Trash, that person has long run away!”
He waved the scimitar in his hand in anger and actually cut off the guard’s head. “I, Chernan, don’t need trash!”
The rest of the people trembled and knelt on the ground. Chernan still wanted to kill more, but when he thought that he was in need of manpower, he gave up under the advice of the military counselor. “Each of you will receive 20 rods!”
The things in the house had been rummaged through, so it was obvious that a thief had indeed entered. However, there was no sign of the thief in the secret room or the room. The room was only so big. Unless he knew how to turn invisible, he must have slipped away under their noses!
“Search! Search the entire city and find him!”
After confirming that these people had left, Xiaoxiao flashed out of her space.
There were even more guards outside. Even the windows and roofs had been set up to keep an eye on them, but what did this have to do with her?
She didn’t even have to worry that the sound of the mechanism being turned on would alarm the guards. As soon as the space exit location function was activated, she would pass through the wall and enter. The secret room was a basement. After turning around the not-too-long stairs, Xiaoxiao saw rows of bookshelves.
Unlike the furnishings outside, the books on the shelves here had traces of being frequently flipped through.
After Xiaoxiao opened a few drawers, she found many neatly arranged letters inside. She did not recognize most of the words on the envelopes. Xiaoxiao asked the space: [Can you translate for me?]
The space expressed that it was in a difficult position: [I can only help Master in places related to ingredients. These can barely be considered firewood for cooking.]
Xiaoxiao did not force it. At most, she would stuff them all into her space and look for them slowly in the future.
Just as she was about to take action, a drawer on the bookshelf was swept by her clothes and pulled open. Xiaoxiao looked at the very obvious word “Rong” on the envelopes inside and felt that she had some protagonist aura on her.
The space: […] Hiding its achievements and reputation.
She thanked the fated coincidence and the second prince for his clear habit of keeping letters. She accepted this drawer of letters with a smile.
After opening one and reading the contents, Xiaoxiao was not in a good mood.
Although she did not have a good impression of the Crown Prince and had suspected him of having ulterior motives many times, who would have thought that as the Crown Prince of Great Xia, he would actually hand over a border city of the country to others in order to consolidate his status? He even deliberately delayed the delivery of military supplies and disregarded the lives of the soldiers and commoners. This was simply infuriating!
After putting the letter away, Xiaoxiao had already started to think about how to find an opportunity to send this to the Emperor in the future. Just as she turned around and pushed the drawer back to its original place to leave, she heard a voice.
She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man covered in injuries in the corner of the secret room.
This person was blindfolded and tied up.
“Chernan@ #¥%…”
Other than the pronunciation of the name, Xiaoxiao did not understand anything. After this person scolded him passionately, he suddenly fell to the ground and could not get up. Xiaoxiao poked him: [This man is an ingredient. Can you scan it?]
Of course, these words were directed at the space. The latter did as he was told: [Master, this person should have fainted. According to the scan results, this ingredient has not been eaten for many days. It’s in a state of lack of water and food…]
Xiaoxiao:… She tried not to think about how the space wanted to describe it. Then, she took out the least special dry food from the space. After thinking for a while, she took out an old water bag and stuffed it into this person’s arms, bringing him out of the secret room.
To be imprisoned in such a secret place by the Second Prince without food or water, and with injuries everywhere on his body, it would be unreasonable if they did not have a blood feud.
The enemy of an enemy was a friend. Saving this person was simply convenient for Xiaoxiao, but it was troublesome for the second prince. She was very happy to cause trouble for the enemy, so not only did she save him, but she also specially found a safe place where he would not be easily discovered and put him down.
However, because of the nourishment of the space, he was already a little awake when Xiaoxiao put him down and left.
The person beside her did not speak, but from the footsteps and breathing, as well as the fragrance coming from her body, she should be a woman.
It was impossible for Chernan to let him off. If not for the fact that he still wanted to find out the whereabouts of the golden staff, Chernan would not have spared his life. Besides, he had seen Chernan kill his father. How could he let him leave alive?
“You’re not Chernan’s man?”
“Did you save me?” Unfortunately, this sentence was still asked in Xiongnu’s language, so Xiaoxiao did not understand. She only patted the things in the man’s arms to remind him that there was food.
The man tried to ask a few more questions, but he didn’t get a response. After resting on the spot for a while to recover, he tried to raise his hand and pull off the cloth covering his eyes. There was no one around him, only the food and water in his arms proving to him that that person had really existed.
He tried his best to stuff the food into his mouth and took a sip of water. He had no doubt that the food would not be poisoned. If he wanted him to die, he could continue to let him stay in Chernan’s secret room. There was no need to move him.
After eating, he recovered a little strength. He took a deep breath, picked up a stone, and cut a terrifying red and swollen wound on his arm. He dug out a small tube-shaped thing from it and blew it between his lips.
Not long after, a gray eagle swooped down from the sky and landed on the man’s shoulder. After a while, a small team of Xiongnu people rushed over and knelt down when they saw the man.
“First Prince!”
“I’ve finally found you! Where have you been these past few days? Why haven’t we found any traces of you even after searching the palace?”
“Oh my god, who kidnapped you? Why are you so injured?”
First Prince Chercha raised his hand to stop the guard from asking endless questions.. “Have you seen a girl on the way here?”
