Chapter 240 Departure

After Su Chengnan and the others waited anxiously for half an hour, familiar footsteps were finally heard at the gate.

Those who fought bloody battles for a long time have finally returned.

Xiao Chen and Fatty stumbled in with a group of secret guards. Their bodies were covered in blood and their clothes were torn, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

Yi Er, Bing San and others followed closely behind, leaving only a very small number of people outside to guard in case there were any fish that had escaped the net and took the opportunity to cause trouble.

"Miss! Our subordinates have fulfilled the mission! We have held it!" Bingsan's voice was a little hoarse, but he was very excited.

When Su Chengnan looked at them, his eyes instantly turned red.

She walked over quickly, her voice choking with sobs: "Great! Quick! Take a break! I'll have someone apply medicine to you!"

The maids hiding in the house heard the noise and came out of the house carrying clean towels and hot water.

Su Chengnan took out the wound medicine that he had prepared early in the morning from his sleeve, handed it to the maids, and reminded them: "Be careful, and move gently."

"Yes, we will be careful." The maids took the medicine and carefully prepared to treat everyone's wounds.

"It's okay! We can do it ourselves." Xiao Chen grinned, reached out to take out a towel from the basin and began to wipe his face and hands.

The situation was still urgent and no one dared to delay too long. They quickly cleaned up the wound and helped each other bandage it.

Soon, these secret guards who had just been struggling on the line between life and death regained their former vigor and spirit.

"Miss, we have picked up all the weapons!" Liu Laosan rushed in with a few scimitars in his arms.

Su Chengnan's eyes lit up. He was somewhat surprised that they were brave enough to take the initiative to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils.

Several people threw the weapons in their arms to the ground, making crackling sounds.

"There are still some outside. Let's go pick them up twice more! Wait a moment." Liu Laosan said, then turned around and left.

Uncle Fu quickly took his men to follow.

Some secret guards who had already treated their wounds also went out to protect them.

Seeing this, Su Chengnan shouted, "Liu Zi! Where is Liu Zi? Someone help me call him over!"

"Okay, I'll go!" A servant responded and ran quickly to the backyard.

Soon, Liuzi came out from behind, jogging, "Hey, Miss! I'm here!"

"Take your men to pick out all these unusable items, and then find a blacksmith to melt them down later, and use them all to make accessories."

"Good! This is a good thing, it really can't be wasted!"

Liuzi bent down and started picking them up immediately.

Bing San, who had finished treating the wound, stood up, put his clothes in order, and walked over quickly to ask, "Miss, there has been no new movement outside for such a long time, what should we do next?"

Su Chengnan quickly cut the strip of cloth in his hand, tied a knot on Yi Er's arm, and said softly: "Qingshan has gone to investigate nearby, wait a little longer."

"Okay, how about I take some people to check the situation of the secret passage first?" Bingsan was really worried and couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't worry, eat first and replenish your energy!" She ordered someone to bring a basket of meat buns. The temperature was not too hot, but it still exuded an enticing aroma. "There may be a fierce battle later, so hurry up and eat."

"Miss..." Yi Er frowned slightly and looked at Baozi in a daze.

Bingsan reacted quickly. He grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth. He even bumped Yier with his shoulder while doing so. "Brother, you should eat one too! I'm really hungry."

Otsuji sighed and took one as well, saying softly, "Okay, eat!"

While the two were talking, the fat man had already finished a bun in two bites and picked up the second one. He laughed, "Miss is so thoughtful. I ate the meat buns to fill my stomach! I feel like I can go out and fight another 300 rounds!"

Su Chengnan smiled, turned around and asked the maid, "Have the buns from the backyard been delivered?"

"It's been delivered. Sister Lin has brought it over. Don't worry!" the maid replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good."

Su Chengnan looked around and saw the people guarding the door eating while staring outside. He felt really uncomfortable and his disgust for war deepened.

Suddenly, Yi Er paused and looked back vigilantly.

"There's movement outside!"

"It's Qingshan!" Bingsan, who was standing on this side, spoke first.

Qingshan flew over and said, "Miss, there are no thieves nearby. It's safe for now!"

Su Chengnan raised his eyebrows, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Okay! Everyone, finish eating quickly, pack up, and go to the small house to check the situation. If there really is a secret passage, we will rush directly to the City Lord's Mansion and tie up everyone!"

Bingsan and Yier looked at each other, with a hint of excitement in their eyes: "Yes!!"

A basket of buns was quickly eaten up.

"Who of you will stay behind to guard the house?" Su Chengnan asked.

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

In the past, everyone was eager to take on missions. Now, when it comes to asking who will stay, no one speaks.

Su Chengnan pondered for a moment and made an assessment of the current situation. He concluded that going to the City Lord's Mansion was definitely more dangerous than staying. She looked around, scanned the crowd, and finally her eyes fell on a few people who were relatively popular.

"Fatty, take them with you and stay here to look after the house!"

"Me?" the fat man protested.

"It's you!" Su Chengnan did not give him a chance to bargain and made the decision without any room for refusal.

"All right."

"Brother Chen is in the backyard, you should keep an eye on the front yard!" After saying that, she looked at Uncle Fu again, "Uncle Fu, arrange for people to patrol between the front and back yards. Everyone should respond promptly to any situation!"

"Yes, I understand." Uncle Fu bowed.

The fat man hesitated to speak, and finally shut his mouth.

Su Chengnan patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"yes!"

Everyone acted quickly and ran towards the small house.

…

There really is a secret passage hidden in this small house.

The secret passage is hidden under the stove in the kitchen. If Su Chengnan was careful and found the footprints here, he would probably be fooled.

The secret guard protected her in the middle and walked forward cautiously.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, Qingshan lowered his voice and said, "Miss, be careful. According to our walking speed, we should be there soon!"

Su Chengnan understood.

Because her hearing was more sensitive than others, she could already vaguely hear the music coming from above...

"Oh no, there's a fork in the road in front of the door!" The leader stopped.

"Is it better to go left or right?" Bingsan asked doubtfully.

Su Chengnan held his breath and carefully identified the source of the sound, then raised his arm and pointed to the right and said, "Let's go this way."

"Miss, why do I feel it should be over there?" Bingsan scratched his head, a little hesitant.

"Trust me, it's right here!"
