Chapter 115 Earth Bomb
The man froze in his place for a moment, then a smile quickly appeared on his face. "Okay, okay, since the young lady is willing to accept it, the general is relieved. Madam, please come back with me!"
Mrs. Xiangdie had a stern face and walked out without saying a word, without even responding to the man.
Soon, Huilan Garment Store returned to peace.
Yang Huilan walked outside to take a look. After making sure the carriage from the General's Mansion had gone far away, she came back and pulled Lin Xiaoyue to her side, saying, "Why are you so honest, young lady? Is the money from the General's Mansion something that ordinary people like us can afford? You're going to get into trouble! Alas, young lady, I think you have a kind face. I advise you to leave Yangming Town and hide out for a while before coming back!"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head. She wasn't a coward. She'd already prepared for Emperor Liang's revenge when she chose the teahouse and Yuanheng Inn. What was coming would eventually come. If she tried to hide, she'd never get out of this world! She still wanted to make tons of money!
"No! Thank you, Shopkeeper Yang, for reminding us. We will go back first. Please pay attention to your own safety."
"Oh... okay." Yang Huilan was in a difficult situation now, so she nodded and personally sent Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Yunyun to the carriage.
Back at the teahouse, Lin Xiaoyue anxiously called Zhan Hu, "Zhan Hu, go to the capital to find Brother Liang. Tell him that Emperor Liang has sent a general to garrison Yangming Town. Tell him to be careful when he returns!"
Zhan Hu was shocked by this sudden news. If the General of Chariots and Cavalry was stationed in Yangming Town, it would not be so easy for his master's Cheetah Army to enter Yangming Town!
"Okay! This is urgent. I'll go to the capital right away!"
After Zhan Hu left, Lin Xiaoyue called the remaining Silver Slash Guards together and told them that she had offended the General of Chariots and Cavalry, so she must be on guard. He was someone placed here by Emperor Liang, so he must not be a good person at heart!
When the Silver Slash Guards heard that Lin Xiaoyue was looking for them, they ran to the study one by one, stood in a neat row and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, waiting for her to speak.
Lin Xiaoyue counted the number of people. Liang Jingyao took two with him when he left, and Zhan Hu had gone back to the capital to deliver a message, so there were seven left. "I just ran into the General of Chariots and Cavalry's concubine. We had a little conflict, but that's not a big deal. The biggest problem is that the General of Chariots and Cavalry was sent by Emperor Liang to garrison Yangming Town. I feel like Emperor Liang is about to take action against us, but now that Brother Liang is away, we can only rely on ourselves."
Zhan Xiong was the oldest among the remaining people. He stood up and said, "Miss Lin, before the master left, he told us to listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
The rest of the people said in unison: "Yes! Miss Lin, just tell me!"
Seeing that everyone was willing to listen to her, Lin Xiaoyue felt relieved and said, "The Yuanheng Inn is still under renovation. We are currently operating the teahouse, which is very crowded. If the General is going to take action, he will definitely start from our teahouse. So don't go across the street for the time being. Keep a close eye on the front and back yards. If any stranger enters the backyard, arrest them first."
Zhan Xiong asked in confusion, "Miss Lin, shouldn't we keep an eye on the Cavalry General?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "We are too few in number. If we want to keep an eye on it, we have to keep an eye not only on General Chariot and Cavalry's residence, but also on the military camp where General Chariot and Cavalry is stationed. If we do that, there won't be many people left here. If something happens in the teahouse, you won't be able to get back in time. We should focus all our energy on defense."
Zhan Xiong glanced at the remaining seven people and realized it was not appropriate for anyone else to leave. "Zhan Xiong was inconsiderate. Miss Lin, please rest assured. We will guard the teahouse so tightly that not even a fly can get in!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, and went back to the east wing to change clothes and prepare to go out to tell stories later.
Chen Yunyun was worried about Lin Xiaoyue's safety, so she followed her into the room and advised, "Sister Lin, what if that general comes and attacks you while you're telling a story? I think you should rest for a few days. Wait until Brother Lin comes before you go out to tell a story."
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "If I don't go out to tell stories, they won't come? But don't follow me upstairs later. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you if a fight really breaks out. I'll ask Zhan Xiong to take you to a safe place for a few days."
Chen Yunyun knew that she had no martial arts skills and would be a burden to everyone, but it would be too cowardly for her to leave like this!
"Sister Lin, I remember that when Dad went hunting in the mountains, he would make a few earth bombs for self-defense. I thought I could make a few more before I leave. If the enemy is too powerful, you can throw a few earth bombs to escape."
Lin Xiaoyue thought this was a good idea. She patted Chen Yunyun's shoulder and said, "Come on, I'll let Zhanxiong work with you. Just tell him if you need anything."
Chen Yunyun nodded and followed Lin Xiaoyue out to find Zhan Xiong.
At this time, Zhan Xiong was standing on the roof staring at the people coming and going on the street.
Lin Xiaoyue tiptoed, waved towards the roof, and shouted, "Zhanxiong! Come down quickly! I have something to talk to you about."
When Zhan Xiong saw that it was Lin Xiaoyue looking for him, he landed on the ground with a light Kung Fu move, clean and neat!
"Miss Lin, you're looking for me? Do you have any new discoveries?"
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and pushed Chen Yunyun in front of her. She said, "Yunyun said she can make a homemade bomb. You can work with her. If she needs any materials, you can prepare them. After she's done, you'll have to take care of Yunyun to a safe place for a few days."
Zhan Xiong didn't think it was hard work. The homemade bomb was a good thing. If it could be made, the Silver Slashing Guards would be able to use it in the future.
So, he readily agreed: "Okay! I know a place with plenty of materials. Miss Chen, please follow me!"
Chen Yunyun shook Lin Xiaoyue's hand and said, "Sister Lin, you have to protect yourself! Wait for me to come back."
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, and watched Chen Yunyun disappear from her sight. She walked straight to the front yard.
In the hall in the front yard where people listen to books and drink tea, fifteen people sat there according to the old rules, including old customers and newcomers.
After Lin Xiaoyue stepped onto the stage, she did not start telling the story immediately. She first observed the people sitting below. Seeing that there were old customers, she decided to tell the new story.
Opening her fan with a snap, Lin Xiaoyue began to tell a story. "It's said that after Wukong was captured, no matter if he was hacked by swords, chopped by axes, struck by thunder or burned by fire, he couldn't be killed. In the end, he was thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun for training, and they wanted to burn him alive to ashes..."
On the stage, Lin Xiaoyue spoke vividly and vividly, but below the stage, only the old customers were clapping and cheering. The new customers were like wooden sticks, their expressions did not change at all the time.
Lin Xiaoyue noticed all these anomalies. It seemed that General Cheqi's men had already sneaked in, but the other old customers sitting here were innocent. What should she do to ensure the safety of the old customers?
