541 Chapter 541: Stupefied

Jiang Ning stood up and walked out.

Gucheng quietly followed her.

His steps made no sound.

If not for his slender shadow in the moonlight, Jiang Ning would have almost believed he wasn't human.

"There are people guarding outside." Jiang Ning pressed her ear against the door, "Now should be the time when people are the most drowsy. I wonder if they have dozed off."

"No." Gucheng answered.

His tone was very certain, obviously, he had seen it when he flew down from the roof earlier.

"Why aren't they tired?" Jiang Ning wondered.

"They change shifts every four hours." This time Gucheng explained quickly.

"No wonder." Jiang Ning was slightly annoyed, speaking softly, "That damned Li Hongyuan, treating me like a thief and guarding me so tightly, yet he claims he doesn't suspect me. Is there any way to avoid these imperial guards..."

She mumbled to herself, deep in thought.

Unexpectedly, Gucheng's voice came again: "I can."

"You?" Jiang Ning looked back at him.
