I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 134: She despised this person

Chu Shao looked at the rolling yellow sand ahead and smiled as she asked, "Your Highness, how did you know that Prince Shen would choose this moment to escape?"

Xiao Jin replied, "I gambled."

Her answer was enigmatic, but it was indeed the truth.

Xiao Jin met Chu Shao's gaze and explained softly, "Today, I had a conversation with the Fifth Prince. He told me... someone wants to kill Prince Shen."

Chu Shao didn't seem surprised. She smiled and asked, "And then?"

"And then, tonight is the last day the camp is stationed here. Tomorrow, the whole team will return to the capital."

Chu Shao nodded, "So, the last chance to target Prince Shen is tonight."

Xiao Jin sighed softly.

As the female lead of the original story, she was truly unparalleled in terms of intelligence and martial prowess.

Even she wondered if Chu Shao had already seen through everything and had asked that question just now purely to find a topic to entertain herself.

Chu Shao stared at Xiao Jin and asked gently, "In that case, Your Highness deliberately accompanied this Princess to release sky lanterns, hoping to let the spies hiding in the dark discover that you were by the lake, report it to their master, and then come here to watch the show?"

"Of course not." Even though that might be the case, at this moment, Xiao Jin could only firmly deny it.

Chu Shao smiled and remained silent.

Xiao Jin coughed lightly, changing the subject. "Bored as we are, how about we play a game?"

"Sure, what game does Your Highness want to play?"

As soon as Chu Shao heard the mention of playing a game, a smile appeared on her lips.

Xiao Jin replied, "Let's play riddles."

"What kind of riddles?" Chu Shao asked.

"Just guess when the person hiding behind will appear."

Chu Shao shook her head slightly and smiled, "I won't guess."

Xiao Jin was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why not?"

"Because I believe they have already appeared."

....

Prince Shen pulled the reins, staring at the people blocking his path.

The wind howled as he looked at the group of masked black-clothed mens standing before him.

Even the words he spoke were tinged with a trembling tone due to the wind, "So, you finally came."

The Crown Prince, clad in black armor, smiled as he sat on the sweat-soaked steed gifted to him by Prince Shen years ago. He said, "Uncle, I have been waiting here for you."

Prince Shen's face showed a hint of confusion, "When did you arrive?"

"Before the Fifth Prince secretly conveyed the message to you."

"Cheng'er is also your man?"

"He used to be." The Crown Prince paused, his tone tinged with regret. "Unfortunately, not anymore."

After realizing that the Fifth Prince hadn't deceived him, Prince Shen's face rarely showed a smile.

Looking at the crowd of black-clothed mens, knowing that he couldn't resist, he asked, "How did you know I would take this route?"
