Seeing that she was not like those women who wanted to get ahead by taking shortcuts, Gu Ru showed a look of satisfaction.
How can I get this woman away from Li Yun'er? Leng Qingning was a little anxious. Coincidentally, the patrolling soldiers passed by here, and she quickly retreated into the corner.
The demons' night watch was really strict. Leng Qingning came out from the corner and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed that rescuing those women was not an easy task.
"Squeak~"
The little chinchilla crawled out from her sleeve and climbed onto her shoulder. Its little eyes looked at her curiously, and its little paws pointed at her excited strokes.
The moment Leng Qingning saw the little chinchilla, an idea suddenly came to her mind, and her eyes glowed green with eagerness.
"Why didn't I think of it? The little guy has been following me for so long and eating and drinking for free. Isn't it time for him to give something in return to me, his master?" She picked up the little body of the chinchilla and held it in front of her.
The little chinchilla suddenly felt cold all over, curled up its body and tried to hide, retreating uneasily, but it could not escape Leng Qingning's clutches.
"Good boy, it's time to take your medicine~"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak~" (I don't want it, let me go!)
"That's not up to you. Just go and wait for your good news!"
“Squeak!——”
"Who?"
A black shadow flew out from a distance. Gu Ru stood up and walked forward with a dagger in her hand, looking at the black shadow on the ground vigilantly. Seeing this, Li Yun'er hurriedly followed.
"Squeak~"
The little chinchilla looked at the place not far away with a very sad expression. What a hateful bad woman, she was so cruel to it. It looked so cute, but this woman was willing to be so cruel!
Seeing Gu Ru coming over, it remembered what the woman had told it, and resigned itself to its fate, barking obediently at Gu Ru.
"Squeak~"
Gu Ru first glanced around and saw that there was no suspicious person around, then she approached the little dragon cat cautiously. Leng Qingning, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but sigh that this maid was really vigilant.
"What a cute little chinchilla, whose pet are you~" Gu Ru's heart was about to melt, and she picked up the little chinchilla and held it in front of her.
It was also the first time that Li Yun'er saw this little guy. Most women are naturally unable to resist this kind of small and cute animal. Unexpectedly, when she stretched out her jade hand, the little chinchilla actually bared its teeth at her and dodged away.
She looked a little lost, and Gu Ru said with a smile: "It seems that this little guy still likes me more."
Unexpectedly, the next second, Gu Ru fell straight to the ground with a "bang". Li Yun'er was stunned by this unexpected scene.
"Hey, Sister Ru, wake up?" She called out tentatively. Gu Ru was in a coma and couldn't respond to her at all. Li Yun'er stood up and looked around at the dark night. Should she escape now?
Those demon soldiers won't arrive for another quarter of an hour.
Not knowing where Miss Leng was, she decided to go look for Leng Qingning quietly.
It’s strange, why did the little chinchilla disappear?
A hand suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her into the corner. Li Yuner struggled hard, but found that she was no match for it.
It is said that the demon tribe is not safe at night, but it turned out to be true. Her life is in danger.
Just as she was feeling hopeless, a familiar female voice sighed from behind her, and a fair hand gently patted her shoulder.
"Don't be afraid, Li Yun'er, it's me,"
This voice is Leng Qingning!
Li Yun'er turned around in surprise and saw a small and cute chinchilla standing on Leng Qingning's shoulder. The chinchilla shook its whiskers at the corners of its mouth and looked at Leng Qingning with a look of seeking credit.
It was the little chinchilla that Gu Ru was holding just now.
"You did a good job just now. This is a reward for you." Leng Qingning handed it a pill. The little chinchilla's eyes lit up, and it picked up the pill with its little paws and started to chew it.
Li Yun'er realized it later and said, "Is this little guy yours?"
Seeing Leng Qingning feeding the little chinchilla pills so generously despite her wealth, and the little guy chewing the pills like candy beans, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop twitching.
It's really arrogant...
"Did you arrange everything just now?" She looked at Gu Ru who had fainted, and secretly felt lucky that she didn't hold the little guy, otherwise she would have been knocked down together.
"That's right. In order not to alert the enemy, I have no choice but to resort to this last resort. How about the thing I asked you to find out?" Leng Qingning was taken back by Shi Qing. This guy seemed to be very interested in her and kept finding things for her to do. She had no time to find out the news.
I just hope Li Yuner can get some useful information.
And Li Yuner did not disappoint.
"I've heard about them. They're all imprisoned in Shulan Courtyard, which is about two hundred meters away from me. It's said that those imprisoned there are women who are unwilling to serve the demons."
"Some women, upon seeing Xuanyuan Jing and the king, were captivated by their looks and were willing to stay here and serve them. These women are truly shameless, willingly degrading themselves to serve these demons."
When Li Yun'er mentioned those women, she was filled with anger.
"Oh, this is the map I drew today while I was working. I secretly looked around and drew the nearby terrain. The route to Shulanyuan is also on it."
Leng Qingning was overjoyed when she saw the blueprint. Although she had unlocked part of the terrain, she happened not to unlock the terrain on Li Yuner's side. Shulanyuan was not far from here.
"How did you know those women were imprisoned in Shulanyuan?" she asked curiously.
Li Yuner said, "I was originally working, and those demon maids thought that no one was around, so they were secretly gossiping. They happened to be talking about how to deal with those disobedient women, and I happened to overhear them."
Now that she has found the whereabouts of those women, she should rescue them.
Seeing Leng Qingning turning around and about to leave, Li Yuner hurriedly called her.
"Miss Leng, do you want to rescue those women now?"
Leng Qingning nodded.
"Is there something wrong?"
Li Yuner said, "Miss Leng, the Shulan Courtyard is extremely heavily guarded. Moreover, they have set up a very complicated high-level formation. Any rash action will easily alert those people."
"I heard that the palace will hold a banquet to select a concubine the night after tomorrow. All the forces of the demon clan will bring their daughters to compete for the title of Demon Consort. At that time, not many people should pay attention to Shulanyuan."
This sounds similar to how the human royal family chooses concubines.
"Okay, I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Leng Qingning felt that what he said made sense. Tonight, she would temporarily put aside the idea of saving people, but this did not prevent her from taking the little chinchilla to see the advanced formation.
After all, it takes time to study the formation.
After she left, Gu Ru opened her eyes in a daze and saw Li Yun'er sitting there, keeping watch for Ren Zhen.
Strange, she always felt like she had forgotten something?
"Sister Ru, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing," Gu Ru responded. Could it be that it was just her illusion?
