Chapter 172
The guy who came here to guard the gate a few times ago was the boy with a good smile, but he didn't expect to come here today with a different person.

And the old man's attitude was not very kind. She looked back worriedly and didn't see anyone, but she was a little scared.

"I want to see the prince."

When the old man heard that Hua Xiaoqiao was going to meet the prince, he laughed, thinking that it was the one who took the opportunity to deliberately find an excuse to get close to the prince.

His attitude towards Hua Xiaoqiao became even worse.

"Go and go, the wild girl from there, don't even look at where this is, the prince is the one you can see if you want to see it."

Hua Xiaoqiao was very anxious, she was afraid that the big event would be delayed because of the delay.

Looking at the old man worriedly, he begged: "Old man, I am very familiar with the prince, if you don't believe me, can you go in and report for me, just say Hua Xiaoqiao is asking to see you."

The old man also has a stubborn temper, and besides, he is not surprised by someone like Hua Xiaoqiao: "Come on, I don't care who you are, the prince will not see you today."

Hua Xiaoqiao was very anxious: "You old man, why are you so ignorant in doing things? If you delay the big things, you know you can't afford it." She was also angry. She didn't expect the old man to be so unreasonable. The servant inside, the little servant from before is so nice.

The old man didn't like Hua Xiaoqiao at first, but now when he heard Hua Xiaoqiao say these words, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"What do you mean by that? I still don't believe it today. I just won't let you into the palace."

After speaking, the door was closed with a "bang".

Hua Xiaoqiao was so angry that she stomped her feet, she never expected that today would be so difficult.

It was pitch black all around, except for the two lanterns at the entrance of the palace, which were flickering on and off, and there was no light to be found.

She knocked on the door again, but she still didn't give up, but this time the old man didn't even open the door.

After knocking for a while, Hua Xiaoqiao was completely disappointed. Suddenly, she thought of Granny Deng. If she entered from the flower garden, she could also go to the palace, and there would definitely be no accidents with Granny Deng.

As soon as he thought of this, he left the main entrance without hesitation. From the main entrance to Granny Deng's place, he had to go around the palace in a big circle, and in this way he had to pass through a relatively secluded alley.

To be honest, she was really scared in her heart. After all, it was so dark that she couldn't see anyone hiding in the alley.

But now, she was anxious, afraid that those people really had no good intentions, what if it was not good for Qin Mu?
She owes Qin Mu a lot, and Qin Mu has been taking care of her for so long. If something happened to Qin Mu because of her own reasons, she would definitely regret it.

The night was dark and the wind was high, a gust of wind blew, and when she stepped into the alley, she was engulfed by the boundless darkness.

Tonight is darker than ever, probably because there is no moon or star in the sky, or maybe because the alley is lined with high walls, and the candlelight behind the wall cannot shine through.

In short, she is now walking forward all by feeling, and touching the wall.

Walking forward a little bit, only the sound of her footsteps can be heard in the alley.

Just when she was about two or three feet away, a strong feeling came over her, and she vaguely saw a black shadow in front of her.

She has walked through this alley many times. During that time, when she was learning how to grow flowers with Granny Deng, she passed this alley almost every day, so she can be regarded as familiar with this alley.

I probably remember everything there, and there was nothing in front of her before, which means that the vaguely human-shaped shadow in front of her is probably a human being.

"Who is it?" She roared in surprise.

At this moment, the black figure in front moved and walked towards her.

It was a lie that she wasn't afraid in her heart, she was worried that the other party was some kind of bad guy, so she turned around and started to run, but when she turned around, she was dumbfounded, and there was another black shadow walking slowly in front of her.

She was caught in the middle, and her way forward and backward was blocked.

She was terrified, leaning against the wall tightly, looking around worriedly.

"Who are you?" She felt that her voice was a little choked, because she was too scared.

Just when she was speaking tremblingly, a voice came: "Brother, I just saw this girl at the main entrance of the palace, and she said she was looking for the prince. Does she know the prince?"

Hua Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes when she heard this, what do these people do?She didn't know the specifics, but now she was very scared.

The voice of the man who was called the eldest brother was cold: "I don't think I know him. If he really knew the old man at the porter, he should let her in. At least she is not very familiar with the prince. Let me ask you a few things, little girl. If you If you answer honestly, we will let you go, if you don't answer well, hide something or deliberately deceive us, then don't blame us for being rude to you, do you know that?"

Hua Xiaoqiao nodded vigorously, with pleading in her eyes, turning her eyes left and right to look at the people standing beside her.

"Big brothers, just ask if you have any questions, but I will tell the truth about everything I know."

She wants to tell a lie, but can she?These people can tell at a glance that they are not easy to bully. If she answers wrongly, or the answer does not satisfy these people, maybe her life will be explained here.

She was terrified. The last time she met those bandits at Hulukou, at least she was accompanied by someone. Now she is here alone in the dark night. Who knows what will happen.

I was uneasy and scared.

The voice of the leading man was still cold, deliberately lowered: "Since you went to find the prince, you prove that you know the prince. We will take you into the palace and you tell us who the prince is."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Xiaoqiao's mind became active, and she thought to herself that these people didn't know Qin Mu, so since they didn't know about this matter, it would be easy to handle.

She suddenly said flatteringly: "As long as you brothers don't kill me, I will tell you who the prince is. It's just that the walls of this courtyard are so high, and the palace is heavily guarded, so it's very difficult to get in."

Another man in the dark said fiercely: "This is not something you should be in charge of. Just take us to see the prince honestly. Your task is to point out who the prince is."

Naturally, she didn't dare to disobey, there were people on the left and right, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

At the end of the alley came the sound of footsteps, which made people startled.

Hua Xiaoqiao clearly felt the uneasiness of the few people, and guessed that the person who came must not be theirs.

"Stay here honestly, if you dare to play tricks, be careful, I will not treat you politely." A man in the dark threatened.
