On the other side, Lin Dong was still able to block two city defense soldiers alone. Just when the two city defense soldiers could no longer bear it, they saw Chen Qi silently patting Lin Dong on the shoulder from behind, signaling her to leave.

"Gentlemen, please come here for a moment."

Chen Qi first pulled the shoulders of the two city defense soldiers mysteriously, then used a little force to press down their waists before they could react, and then whispered to them:

"You two, your mission has been completed. Now we have handed over Her Royal Highness the Princess to us. You can hand in your work now."

"——Who are you?" The two were slightly stunned, and then asked Chen Qi in unison.

However, the next moment, Chen Qi slightly opened his collar, and the two of them immediately saw an extremely conspicuous medal standing out inside his clothes.

After seeing the medal, the two city defense soldiers' morale suddenly dropped a lot. One of them couldn't help but say to Chen Qi:

"Your Excellency...you are..."

"...Now, leave Your Highness to us. Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you."

Chen Qi said to the two of them with a smile, and the next moment, the two city defense soldiers felt as if there was something extra in their belts. They were both stunned, and then looking at Chen Qi's face, which was young but not immature, their expressions finally changed slightly.

"Gentlemen, remember, you didn't see anything today. Her Royal Highness will be in the palace all day. She has not left the palace, and you have not seen us either."

"Don't worry, Her Royal Highness will definitely appear in the palace again in the afternoon at most. So, you didn't see anything, right?"

"..."X2

After hearing this, the two city defense soldiers were silent for a long time before finally looking away and nodded slightly.

“…That’s right.”

Chen Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and immediately let go of the two's shoulders. The two city defense soldiers immediately left slowly without looking back, and did not stay for a moment longer.

After doing all this, Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the medal in his arms, and muttered to himself: "I said this thing will definitely come in handy, so there should be no problem."

In fact, Chen Qi was quite hesitant about whether to wear this medal. After all, it might expose his identity. After all, almost every lord was recorded in the Ursus royal family. If you check carefully, it would be easy to know that Chen Qi is a fake, or even find out Kal'tsit's identity.

However, for these low-level city defense soldiers, it was enough to scare them. They would not report this matter to their superiors. After all, meeting a princess or a lord while shopping... this estimate was really too low.

Moreover, the two of them also accepted bribes from Chen Qi. Coupled with Chen Qi's previous "threat", with a candy and a stick, Chen Qi could basically guarantee that these two people would not tell this matter to anyone.

"However, it is not advisable to stay here for long."

Chen Qi immediately turned around and said to Lin Dong and his group, "Let's go quickly. If these guys change their minds, we will have nowhere to hide."

"So, young lady, do you have any safe place for us to hide?"

"——I know a place. When I was a kid, I sneaked out of the palace and hid there to avoid the city defense troops."

The princess immediately spoke after hearing this. Chen Qi nodded and took the princess from Zhenli's arms. He then said to Lin Dong and his group behind him:

"Everyone, follow me quickly."

"Yeah." Zao** nodded and followed first. After that, Zhenli said something in Lindong's ear. Lindong's expression gradually became calm, and finally, became a little disgusted.

"...Tsk, I didn't expect to help a bastard from the palace. I should have minded this matter earlier."

"Don't say that, Winter. You may have accomplished a great deed this time."

Zhenli on the side smiled slightly when she heard this. She naturally knew that Lindong hated the royal family, but at the moment, for their mission, this was simply an unexpected surprise.

This princess might be their best chance to enter the palace!

Chapter 171: The Escaped Princess, the Emperor Ursus's Edict

"So... this is it?"

Chen Qi and his group came to a relatively not remote but somewhat strange place in Mo City.

It is not remote because it is still in the downtown area of ​​Mo City, but it is weird because there are almost no outsiders here. It is as if there is some barrier separating it from somewhere else. There are no other people here, only a few decent buildings.

"...This place doesn't look like a wealthy area?" Zhenli looked at the surrounding environment. These buildings didn't seem to be very conspicuous in Chernobyl, let alone Mo City. He couldn't help but say with some confusion.

Chen Qi was also observing the surrounding environment, feeling a little confused. Fortunately, the princess in Chen Qi's arms was very enthusiastic in explaining the special features of this place to everyone.

"This is the 'grey area' of Mo City. Most of the houses here are owned by ministers and important people. Therefore, this is a place that the city defense forces dare not come to inspect."

"…But, what are these people buying the houses here for?" Gumi on the side was a little confused. However, she did not notice the thoughtful eyes of Zhenli and Lindong, and the expressions of Zaolu and Chen Qi who had already understood.

Fortunately, the princess was very enthusiastic in explaining it to Gumi.

"Anyway, it's bribery, extramarital affairs, cheating, whatever. Anyway, they do everything here. Father knows about it, but he has always turned a blind eye!"

As a princess who was brought up with the highest level of education in Ursus in the palace, she seemed to have no taboos about these dirty topics. Of course, she could not say such things in the palace, even though she knew it well.

As a princess from the palace, don't think that she is so pure. Although she is only 13 or 4 years old, she has witnessed some topics that outsiders would avoid a long time ago.

The palace may seem magnificent and splendid, but in reality, when it comes to absurdity, it is almost no different from the slums in the outside world.

"Tsk, it's because of you bunch of idlers that we Ursus people have such a hard life."

Lin Dong, who was standing by, pursed her lips in disgust when she heard this. When she found out that the little girl she rescued was actually the princess, she wished she had an axe in her hand to chop off her hands.

However, now that things have been done, it is useless for Lin Dong to regret it. I hope she can take this lesson to change her bad habit of meddling in other people's affairs.

"Sonia." Zaolu, who was once a noble, was shocked by Lin Dong's words. She unexpectedly scolded her on the spot, and then bowed to the princess in fear and trepidation:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, my friend meant no harm."

"Hahaha, it's okay. I don't care. I don't think this young lady said anything wrong. I don't understand what my father and the others are thinking. If I could catch such a minister, I would have killed them all long ago. I don't know why they kept them until now."

However, unexpectedly, the princess did not seem to care about Lin Dong's contemptuous remarks about the royal family. Instead, she nodded in agreement.

Although it was a bit scary to hear such a young girl say "kill them all" so easily, it was obvious that this princess was not someone who was bound by her educational environment.

…Obviously, this was not a peaceful princess. From the fact that she knew this place was a “gray area” and that she was familiar with it, it seemed that this second princess was not someone who was easy to serve, and this probably gave many people in the palace a headache.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself."

After the princess came to her senses, she remembered something. She broke free from Chen Qi's arms and then bowed very gracefully to Chen Qi and his group.

"I am Anastasia Nikolai Romanova, the second daughter of the current Emperor of Ursus."

"Thank you all for your help. I will never forget your kindness today, but I also hope to borrow your help to save the Ursus royal family from its current predicament."

"I guarantee on the honor of the Ursus royal family that when everything is over, I will definitely promote you to higher positions and let you enjoy the grace of the Ursus royal family forever."

"Tsk, who cares about the favor of your shitty royal family?" Hearing this, Lin Dong spitted with disdain and said coldly to the princess in front of him:

"When my homeland fell, when my school was besieged by those violent elements, where did your royal family go? Now you want us to help you revive the royal family, you genius - Ouch!"

However, before Lin Dong could finish her words, she was suddenly hit hard on the back of her head, causing her to scream in pain. She fell to her knees, covering her head.

At this moment, Chen Qicai, who had retracted his finger, bypassed Lin Dong and came in front of the princess. Facing the other party's eyes that were not fearful but slightly expectant, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Your Highness, I am very curious, why do you think that we commoners are capable of helping you rebuild the Ursus royal family?"

"As you can see, we are just unarmed civilians. We are willing but unable to help revitalize the royal family."

"——Just now, you showed something to those two people."

However, the princess smiled when she heard this. She looked at Chen Qi in front of her without any worries and said to him, "Those two city defense soldiers wanted to take me back, and this was an order. They actually disobeyed the order and let me go. I think that they can't do it just by bribing, right?"

"Sir, you don't look like an Ursus. What did you show them that made them so terrified?"

"Badge? Document? Diplomatic certificate? Or a general's letter? It can't be a lord's medal, right?"

"..." Chen Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the little princess in front of him who was smiling at him, but he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

...Wrong, he had misjudged this princess. He thought she was just a difficult lady to serve, but unexpectedly, this princess seemed to be very smart.

She was very observant and bold in her guess. You know, if her guess was wrong, she would most likely die.

She was betting that Chen Qi and his group were people who were beneficial to the royal family. Although she couldn't guarantee that Chen Qi and his group were sent by her father, from the fact that Chen Qi still tried to protect her after she told him the news about her, she knew that Chen Qi and his group could be used.

...I thought they were taking advantage of her, but I didn't expect that she was the one taking advantage of them from the very beginning?

This little princess... unexpectedly... is not just brave.

No wonder, no wonder she was the only one who ran out of the palace. It seems that this is not an accident. If things go as expected, it is very likely that she was sent out by the Emperor of Ursus.

"...Okay, Princess, you win."

Chen Qi waved his hand upon hearing this. Facing the princess's slightly bright eyes, Chen Qi unabashedly revealed the medal on his inner clothes and said to the princess in front of him:

"Lord Ursus, my current identity is somewhat special, so it is difficult for me to explain our identities to you. However, we are willing to serve you now."

"Thank you for your help, my Lord."

The princess nodded happily, confirming that the person in front of her could indeed help the royal family with command. She visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, although she looked quite determined just now, she was still a little scared in her heart.

After all, if you are not careful, you might really lose your life.

However, the princess thought that if she guessed wrong she would die anyway, so she might as well give it a try. After all, she was now in the hands of Chen Qi and his group, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to. Only by giving it a try could she have a chance of survival.

Obviously, she made the right bet. They would help her, which meant that the things her father had instructed her to do next would almost certainly come to fruition.

"Well, Your Highness, how may we help you?"

"Your Excellency, although I have never met you, you are the only ones I can rely on at this moment. I hope you can live up to me and the trust that the Ursus royal family has placed in you."

The princess's expression became a little serious at this moment. She took out a long belt-like cloth from her arms and said to Chen Qi and his party:

"The royal family is in danger. Ursus is in internal and external troubles. We urgently need your strength to fight for the last glimmer of life for the royal family."

"This is your majesty's decree. The survival of the royal family depends on this moment."

Please forgive me for causing great impact to all readers.

Chapter 172: Infiltration plan directly through the palace gate

“Today, the palace is in turmoil, and the Ursus Empire is facing life and death. I have been on the throne for several years and want to correct the mistakes of the previous king and save the millions of Ursus citizens from the dire straits.

However, due to the previous king's strategy, the Grand Marshal's authority is so high that he has some complaints about my new policies. Although he has treated me with more courtesy and has not overstepped his boundaries, his tendency to force confessions and commit crimes has already emerged, which shows that my majesty is nothing and that the authority of the Ursus royal family is nothing.

Now, I know very well that there is no one around me who can be used. Today, on the day when the Grand Marshal goes to war, I order the Second Princess to take this imperial edict out of the palace. I know very well that you are the heroes of Ursus, and you must not be the same as the Grand Marshal. First, I order you heroes to enter the palace to meet the emperor in order to curb the prestige of the Grand Marshal. "

An hour later, Chen Qi and his companions temporarily stayed in a not very conspicuous hotel in Mo City. With the help of the light, they could clearly see the words "URSA" written on the belt.

In fact, the reason for choosing to stay here is not only because this place is relatively inconspicuous, but a more important reason is that the members of Noah's team live upstairs here.

This was originally the tentative meeting place for Chen Qi and Noah's team. They had booked all the rooms on the third floor, and Chen Qi and his team were currently on the second floor.

Chen Qi had already met with Noah's team in secret, and they had used their rich experience to judge the current situation. Both sides knew that the other side had made peace, but they also knew that the situation had changed, so they tacitly pretended not to know each other.

Plans are always subject to change, and many times are not the best time to exchange information. Therefore, the members of Noah's team have their own secret codes. Professional members like Chen Qi and Jessica can understand each other's meaning with just a glance.

What's more, Chen Qi also has [Emotional Infection], which allows him to transmit messages through mental links, so many things will become much more convenient.

At this moment, on the second floor where Chen Qi and his group were, Chen Qi read out the sentences written on the belt and then slowly put it down.

"I wrote a long passage, but the most important point is to save the emperor."

"This decree has conveyed enough information to us. Obviously, the new emperor has discovered the Grand Marshal's motives. However, he is in the palace right now, and everyone around him is being manipulated by the Grand Marshal's men. He feels that his authority is threatened, and he needs a general with military power to come to the palace to help."

"Most of Ursus' military power is in the hands of the Grand Marshal, but not all of it. As long as there is a general with similar authority to him to restrain him, then the Grand Marshal will at least have some concerns and will not act arbitrarily."

"...This decree has brought us a lot of good news. At least now we know that the Emperor of Ursus and the Grand Marshal are not on the same side. In fact, the Emperor of Ursus is trying his best to get rid of the Grand Marshal."

"This coincides with our plan."

Chen Qi said, and put away the belt, keeping it well. Looking at Lin Dong and his group beside him, he said lightly:

"It looks like we now have a chance to go directly into the palace."

"...This move is too dangerous." Zhenli, who was standing by, couldn't help but speak out at this time, with a look of worry on his face, saying: "If the emperor is surrounded by the generalissimo's men, what can we do with just a few of us?"

"——No venture, no gain. Only by entering the palace can we truly find out what happened in the palace and have a chance to find loopholes in the palace."

Chen Qi shook his head. How could he not know Zhenli's concerns? However, conversely, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. If they had the chance to find out the intelligence in the palace, then the help they could provide for their next actions would be enormous.

After all, they are not sure whether Markorov is in the palace. They have to determine Markorov's location first before they can take a series of actions against him.

If... there is a chance to meet Markov and find a way to fix him in one position, then the difficulty of assassinating Markov will drop dramatically!

This risk is worth taking!

"Although this princess was in a hurry at the time, she is not in a hurry at all when she hears that we will take action tomorrow. Obviously, she has already regarded us as a shield."
