Chapter 567: Chapter 518, Chance Encounter_1

Daohua and Dong Yuanyao had just leaped over the wall when they saw a thin man in the courtyard, kneeling while wearing only a white undershirt.

Seeing the man turn his head toward them, both of them simultaneously made a shushing gesture.

At that moment, the sound of patrolling soldiers echoed from the other side of the wall.

"I clearly saw those two maids run in here, so why is there no one?"

"Could they have run to another alley?"

"Impossible, I would not have mistaken it."

"Then, could they have climbed over into the courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao's expressions changed.

After glancing at the man on the ground who had turned his head away, showing no interest in dealing with them, Daohua tugged at Dong Yuanyao, pulling her into the side room to hide.

Soon, a patrolling soldier appeared on the wall.

The patrolling soldier paused upon seeing a person kneeling in the courtyard, and then asked loudly, "Brother, have you seen two maids pass by here?"
