60 The Man In Silver Mask 1 (1/2)

The sun has almost set, but the people on the street does not look like they were about to return home to their family soon. Soon, trying to walk through among the others became harder.

The street looked colorful and livelier, different than the usual. Princess Lingchen had gone out for a walk in the city a few times, but this is the first time she saw the street like this. Looking at the stalls at both her left and right, Princess Lingchen felt as if she was at a different place.Her eyes brightened up as she watched a few officers lightened up the lantern of various color and hung it along the street.

Princess Lingchen jolted when she felt someone holding her arms. She turned and saw Mingyue's smiling face. ”What is it?”

”Let's walk around like this,” Mingyue said. ”Or else, we might get separated by the crowd.”

The Princess nodded. After a while, their path cleared. She looked up and saw Jiang Xiao Tian's tall figure before them. Even General Jiang Xiao Xian had sent over a few of his men to protect her as her hidden guard. The hidden guard roamed around the street, acting as a civilian and they would block others from approaching the princess.

Yang Yun walked right behind them. Princess Lingchen shot an apologetic smile to Yang Yun, and the man nodded at her. His expression was aloof as usual.

Usually, when Yang Yun and Jiang Mingyue were together, they acted like nothing could separate them. But right now, Mingyue and Yang Yun would pretend that they didn't know each other. Princess Lingchen did not know whether she should laugh or feel sorry for them.

Princess Lingchen decided to pretend along with them. Right now, she and Mingyue were just two girls walking along the street.

”There are a lot of people in the city recently.” Princess Lingchen commented as they walked further.

With a smile on her face, Mingyue spoke, ”Of course. I heard that merchants and traders from other countries choose to visit Da Chen when they heard about the upcoming Spring Hunt. They took this opportunity to gather and trade with the other merchants.”

”But the Spring Hunt is months away!” The Princess was surprised to hear that they had come for the upcoming Spring Hunt.
