Chapter 33
Time is too tight, and she has no time to care about Sura now.It was almost past noon, and the most important thing now was to find other people to discuss how to get out of here.

Tian Li returned to the short house on the east side to look for Lin Yanxue.He told Tian Li that everyone agreed to leave in Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, and that the carriage was currently being shelved outside by Song Xinchuan and the others, so it was just right to use it.

Now that the two ladies are injured and the castle is in chaos, they can use Sura's token to repeat their tricks.

After hearing this, the token was now their only way to pass. It was impossible for her to take it away from Song Xinchuan.

Now it was up to her to find a way to find the key.

It was already getting late, Lin Yanxue said, "You go back and clean up first, we'll leave now."

Tian Li gave Lin Yanxue a complicated look and told him what had happened.

"The dress matter was discovered, and Zhang Xincheng was arrested yesterday."

Lin Yanxue saw the hesitation in Tian Li's eyes, "You want to save her?"

Time was running out, so Tian Li stopped beating around the bush and told Lin Yanxue her thoughts.

"Putting aside the identity of Werewolf, I think Zhang Xincheng is a strong and reliable teammate."

A retired soldier with a stable personality and excellent strength and IQ.

"What's more, she is also my friend. I don't want to give up on her. At least let me try."

Lin Yanxue was silent for a while, and then he persuaded: "What if you fail? We can't protect ourselves now, but we still have time to care about others?"

"I tried my best." Tian Li said, "I knew it well and would not lose myself."

"Give me some time. Before dusk, whether I can rescue Zhang Xincheng or not, I will go with you."

Just when Tian Li was about to leave, Lin Yanxue suddenly stopped her.

"need my help?"

Tian Li paused and hesitated.

"Need not."

It seems that this person is still sulking at him.

Looking at Tian Li's retreating back, Lin Yanxue thought.

Zhang Xincheng is the maid beside Madam.Naturally, he also has an understanding of big and small things.She told Tian Li that all the keys to the prison room were in the hands of the guard chief, and he lived near the gate of the castle.

The east side is some distance away from the gate. In order to save time on the road, Tian Li tried to trot along the way.

Suddenly, her foot hurt, as if she had stepped on a stone.

The dagger in her shoe stung her, almost spraining her foot.

When no one was around, she put the dagger in her shoe into her pocket. With the sharp weapon in hand, she felt more at ease.

There were not many people in the patrol room. She wandered around outside for a few times and finally saw a familiar face.

That person was the patrol chief whom Tian Li and Lin Yanxue met a few days ago when they were delivering glass slippers to Cinderella.He was alone in the room.The man crossed his legs and took a nap with half-closed eyes.

She took a deep breath and walked in bravely.

As expected, the man was not asleep. He opened his eyes almost as soon as Tian Li entered the room.Seeing that it was a maid coming, the man closed his eyes again.

"I am Miss Sula's maid. The lady said she wants the key to the prison cell."

The man then opened his eyes.He stood up directly from the chair and slowly approached Tian Li.

The man was tall and strong, and when he stood in front of Tian Li, he was like a hill, blocking most of the light above her head.A feeling of oppression under the shadow came over her, and her heart pounded under her chest. Tian Li secretly told herself to stay calm.

"You should have seen me two days ago. In the garden, I gave Miss Sula clothes to wear to the ball."

When she was in the hall just now, she did not see the figure of the captain of the guard. She was betting that the other party did not know about the glass slipper.

Sure enough, the man stared at her face for a long time and seemed to recognize her.He turned around, opened a cabinet in the drawer, and took out a silver key.

"The key is universal." The man threw the key to her.

Tian Li took the key and was about to leave.Seeing victory in sight, she was about to walk out the door when the man suddenly stopped her.

"and many more."

Tian Li's back stiffened and she stopped.

"Where's the lady's token?"

Tian Li took a deep breath and responded calmly: "Didn't you see it the other day?"

"Can the token from that day last until today?"

Tian Li knew that it would be more and more detrimental to her if she continued to spend more time, so she decided to use a delaying strategy.

"Miss Sura is busy now. You can go find her later to see if what I said is true."

The door was right behind her. Tian Li found the right opportunity and was about to run out, but the man was a step ahead of her and closed the door with a "touch".

"Leave the key without the token!" The man's words were merciless.

There was such a disparity in stature between the two that Tian Li knew that she was definitely no match for him; she could only step back into the room to distance herself from the man, while thinking about countermeasures.

Tian Li's silent response had already made the man figure it out. The man squinted his eyes, raised his hand and locked the door, then turned around and looked at her coldly.

"It seems that there is a disloyal servant around Miss Sula."

Now that the enemy is strong and she is weak, it is obviously not a good idea to provoke the opponent. Tian Li kept talking while observing the scene in the room.

The man continued: "Except for the masters, we only recognize tokens, not people. Do you want to give up on your own, or let me do it?"

She replied: "Masters are also careless sometimes. Miss Sula told me before going to bed that I, as a servant, can only do things according to the lady's instructions."

Tian Li looked down.There was a wooden table between the two of them, with some supplies on it, all small items.

The man didn't take Tian Li's words to heart: "Little girl, you are very good at talking hard."

She replied: "I am the new servant who arrived a few days ago. I don't understand all the rules of the castle, but I do follow the lady's instructions."

Tian Li looked around with her peripheral vision.To her rear left is the window, which is open, and to her right is the cabinet for the keys.There should be only a low bed in the back.

The man took a few steps closer, and Tian Li circled the table to fight with him.

The room was not big, and the table that separated the two of them was like a mantis' arm acting as a cart. Tian Li felt that the other party could catch her by taking a few steps faster.

"Hurry up and hand over the keys!"

Seeing that Tian Li was not going to be captured without mercy, the man was already a little impatient.

"I want to hand you over to the madam and let her know that there is a traitor in the castle!"
