459 MAN WITH WHITE HAIR

**He? Who is he?**

"I don't have any appointment with anyone else." Senja said rigidly.

Senja was still not sure about the identity of the enemy that attacked them. But she knew it wasn't the Golden Arrow Archer. She was sure, not because she had killed Xiao Wang Wei, but because she would have known them in the first glance. After all, she had encountered them more than twice already.

The party who had attacked the northern fortress also didn't look like a soldier, they were more like an assassin.

**Are they Modama's people?** Senja thought for a moment before she faced the inn owner and gave him a simple smiled.

"Thank you, I will meet him in a minute." Senja informed him.

"Alright, I will tell him that you will come."

The inn owner gave his respectful bowed before he walked away from Senja's door. The moment he turned his body, Senja closed her door and began to move hastily to tidy up their clothes and their belongings.

"We need to get away from here." Senja rumbled in low voice.

Like on cue, Qianru and Xiao Mugi started to move as well and help her.

There was a good thing in every situation and for Senja case at this time, she had two things. First, Qianru seemed more stable than she was days ago and second, they didn't have many things to be tidied up. Hence they were ready to go in the next minute.

Senja led their way to the front door, walked past the stairs that led them toward the first floor where that man had been waiting for her. His back was facing them and Senja could see his silver hair tied up on top of his head.

For a second Senja's heart thumping frantically.

Modama's hair was white as well! Even thought the image of their back didn't look the same, but Senja didn't have time to see that detail as she frantically ushered Qianru and Xiao Mugi took another stairs that led them to the street at the back of the inn.

They were half running across the street and almost got hit by a passing carriage. Xiao Mugi was already running to catch up with Senja and Qianru due to her short legs. They didn't dare to stop.

Once they got caught by whoever their enemy was, they wouldn't end up good and nobody would come for their aid.

The only destination in Senja's mind now was to reach L City as soon as possible to find Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun. Only to find them, she could think about her next step.

The last news from them was; they were heading L city after they had taken down Q city, however something went wrong in the L city and Senja didn't know what the next news.

"We need two horses…" Senja mumbled while frantically looked around her. "Qianru, can you…"

"I can…" She assured her. "I know how to ride a horse, don't worry."

Senja nodded in affirmation, feeling a little bit relief.

When they were about to cross the road, someone held Senja's shoulder, out of instinct she grabbed that person's hand and twisted it around his back.

Qianru grabbed Xiao Mugi closed to her while she muffled her scream.

"Senja, Senja it's me… Yu Long!" That man screamed in pain and along with him, there was another woman's voice who was screaming.

"No, no… don't hurt my husband." She ran after Senja and tried to pry her hand away from Yu Long's hand.

"Yu Long?" Senja questioned.

"Yes, it's me. Don't you remember me? You were running away from Prince Xiao Tianyao at that time." He tried to explain hastily.

Finally Senja released his hand.

"Are you alright?" The woman asked Yu Long with concerned as he shook his head.

"I am sorry…" Senja hastily apologized. "I thought you are…"

"Are you running away again?" Yu Long asked her in disbelief.

"Kind of…" Senja replied sheepishly.

"I don't believe it, I meet you in the same situation."

When Senja was about to retort Yu Long's comment, his wife let out a shrill scream that she muffled with her hands directly.

"What happened?" Yu Long asked his wife while tracing back her line of sight, then Qianru and Xiao Mugi's face came to his view.

In an instant, Yu Long and his wife knelt before Qianru and Xiao Mugi, however before both of them could say anything or gave their bowed at the two royals family. Qianru darted forward and knelt in front of them.

Qianru reckless and hasty acted put them in perplexed until she spoke. "Please, don't do this…" She said in very low tone. "There is someone who is chasing us, if you draw more attention, we will be in danger." She said in matter of fact tone.

When the understanding dawn at both of them, they were standing up hastily and apologized relentlessly.

Senja tilted her head, looking at the event that unfolded before her eyes. It wasn't a surprise actually for them to know Qianru and Xiao Mugi as the royal blood.

As for her… Well, she wasn't sure about her status. Senja didn't even think that their wedding could be counted.

Since Yu Long and his wife were coming from big city like Q city. The onlookers around this village didn't aware about Qianru and Xiao Mugi identity because this was a small village that almost untouched by the political hierarchy.

"Are you going back to Q city?" Senja thought to go with them.

However, Yu Long shook his head. "Don't you know that the Q city has been burned down since two weeks ago?"

"Impossible ..." Senja shook her head in denial. "Xiao's armies wouldn't do that to their people."

Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun wouldn't burn down people's houses, no matter what the reason, moreover they didn't have a single reason to do that. Xiao Jun loved his people.

"No, it wasn't Prince Xiao Jun's army, but it was the Emperor's. When Prince Xiao Jun left Q city to L city, the emperor's army came and took over the Q city again." This was Yu Long's wife who was explaining with her bitter expression.

"The Emperor has taken over the Q city again?" Senja's eyes widened in disbelief, quickly she asked the crucial question. "How about the Xiao's army?"

"They were trapped in L city with the Emperor's forces surrounding the nearby cities …" Yu Long explained carefully.

Senja widened her eyes in fear as Qianru's face turned pale.
