Flying on Swords

As the morning progressed, the news of Crown Prince changing his plans and heading to a different place reached several ears, but only certain ones got to know exactly where he was heading - the western borders.

Xiang Ling's group and the Crown Prince's group played the act perfectly and went on their separate ways. The former traveled for hours and arrived at a small city. They rested for a while and had their lunch before they changed into new clothes, got a new carriage, and left the city to travel until late in the evening. It was almost past eight when they finally entered a town and booked an Inn for the night.

They made sure that they were not followed and waited for the Crown Prince's arrival. The man finally arrived at the Inn late in the night with Su LiangLin, Mo Li, and Su LiangLin's personal maid - Zi Yun.
