Lin Jinyue hurriedly explained other matters to the villagers and then rushed off to Guangcheng.

The village's security detail has been placed on high alert.

To prevent anyone in the village from tipping them off, Lin Jinyue closed all the city gates of Yunhe Village.

Not even a fly can get out.

After the city gates closed, the villagers of Yunhe Village had to rely on themselves for sustenance.

Some people were still a little flustered.

Especially those who come from nearby villages to work.

After Lin Jinyue gave the instructions, someone wrote to their families, saying they could return in half a month and each person would receive a compensation of 100 coins.

As a result, no one said anything more.

Just by not going home for half a month, I can get 100 coins. This is a very good deal.

As for the wealthy households, upon hearing that the city was to be sealed off, they were eager to survive by relying on the strange and unusual weapons of Yunhe Village.

At that moment, they felt that unless the sky were to fall, it would be a disaster.

No one can breach Yunhe Village.

When Lin Jinyue arrived in Guangcheng, it was still dark.

She slept on the boat for a while longer, and only went inside when the city gates opened.

However, as soon as Lin Jinyue entered the city gate, she was seized by a group of soldiers who said they would take her to see Xie Hong.

Lin Jinyue readily agreed.

She carried several weapons for self-defense.

Needless to say, there are pepper sprays, smoke bombs that can numb people, and cartilage powder in sachets.

When Lin Jinyue was taken to the camp, Xie Hongzheng was furious.

"What? These useless bastards still haven't found them?"

One of his men cautiously replied, "General... we've done our best to search, but they... they've probably escaped..."

Xie Hong was furious: "Where are the soldiers who were escorting them?"

Lin Jinyue probably understood that they were arguing about the Gu family being exiled.

She imprisoned all the soldiers and officials who were escorting them. Unless you search carefully in Yunhe Village, it's absolutely impossible to find them.

I don't believe these people can dig tunnels to escape from prison.

Lin Jinyue stood there without saying a word.

Xie Hong didn't notice her for quite a while.

Xie Hong scrutinized Lin Jinyue's expression, frowned, and felt nothing but absurdity.

Why would I suspect the people of Yunhe Village?

Although these people had many strange and unusual things, there were only a few people in that village.

Getting on the ship to face a few unarmed people is practically impossible.

Lin Jinyue frowned and asked, "General Xie, we made an agreement before, are you going to renege on your promise?"

Xie Hong sneered: "If his clansmen are exiled or escape, His Majesty will also order Gu Shao's execution."

Lin Jinyue pursed her lips and remained silent.

Xie Hong then brought up the matter of the crossbows: "There's a problem with your blueprints. I've consulted craftsmen, and they all say they can't make them."

Lin Jinyue simply said, "That's because the craftsmen are too incompetent."

She just said it casually.

She was thinking about how to rescue Gu Shao without putting Yunhe Village in danger.

Little did Xie Hong know that these words would give rise to wicked thoughts.

Now that he could openly and legitimately eliminate his mortal enemy Gu Shao, he became bolder.

The old, weak, sick, and disabled members of the Gu family can't cause any trouble. Maybe the old man is already dead, after all, he had someone poison him.

Without Gu Shao keeping him in check, Xie Hong felt like he could do whatever he wanted in Lingnan.

He directly threatened Lin Jinyue: "Now that you're in my hands, do you think your father wouldn't tell me about the craftsmen, the blueprints, and those secret techniques?"

Xie Hong immediately ordered his men to lock Lin Jinyue up.

Lin Jinyue showed no fear whatsoever and asked, "Since we're all in your hands anyway, why don't you let me see General Gu?"

Xie Hong scoffed, "What, he's almost dead, and you're still thinking about him?"

Lin Jinyue's face didn't show much expression, she just said, "Let us meet, anyway you won't lose anything."

However, to her surprise, Xie Hong actually showed some cleverness this time.

Xie Hong sneered, "You think I don't know what you're up to?"

Lin Jinyue looked at him with an innocent expression.

Xie Hong waved his hand, signaling someone to take Lin Jinyue away.

However, in order to get some good things from Lin Shucheng, Xie Hong did not mistreat Lin Jinyue and continued to serve her good food and drink.

Lin Jinyue can also find time to meet with her father in the evenings.

If her father weren't here.

She can also leave a note or something on the farm.

Lin Jinyue planned to stay in the military camp for two days to see if she could find Gu Shao's location and take him away in advance.

However, Xie Hong treated her like a thief.

Lin Jinyue had no choice but to give up.

However, she came up with another plan.

That evening at eight o'clock, she pretended to be asleep, but actually went into the space to meet her father.

Lin Shucheng came in a little while earlier, but after not seeing his daughter for a long time, he became very anxious.

Upon seeing Lin Jinyue, he said, "Girl, why are you taking such a risk?"

Lin Jinyue shook her head. "I didn't take any risks."

Lin Shucheng said anxiously, "Tell me, what's going on? Old Master Ji said he was going to bring some people from the prefectural city. Now, he's brought back a message that that bastard surnamed Xie is threatening me to bring a few skilled craftsmen and the method of glassmaking over."

He asked again, "Daughter, what can we do? Should we just say there's no glass? That the glass maker left?"

Lin Shucheng grilled Lin Jinyue with questions.

Lin Jinyue shook her head. "Let me think about it, Dad. You can delay it a bit. Just tell me a few materials and that whether the glass can be made depends on luck. Let's wait a few more days and test a foolproof formula before going over."

Lin Shucheng nodded.
