Chapter 151 The drunkard has disappeared!
At night, the sound of night watchmen drumming, one slow and two fast, rang out on the street. Lin Xiaoyue knew it was already midnight!
She turned her head and looked at Chen Yunyun beside her. She first kicked Chen Yunyun's leg gently, then pulled Chen Yunyun's hand. After making sure that Chen Yunyun was asleep, she quickly put on her clothes.
Lin Xiaoyue did this because she actually wanted to go back to the old drunkard's yard.
We were in a hurry to move today, and there are still a lot of herbs left in the warehouse. If we don’t get them quickly, they might be gone by the next time we go! After all, the old wine monster’s yard has experienced two assassination attempts and is no longer safe!
Just go!
After Lin Xiaoyue got out of bed, she immediately activated the space to become invisible. With the space in place, even if the door was closed or there was someone guarding it, Lin Xiaoyue could enter as if there was no one there!
So when she walked out of the room, Gu Mian knew nothing and was still dozing off against the wall.
The streets were deserted at midnight. Lin Xiaoyue, with the blessing of space, walked a bit faster than usual! After a while, she returned to the old drunkard's yard.
As soon as she entered the yard, Lin Xiaoyue went straight to the warehouse. She had been by the old wine monster's side when he sorted the herbs, so she knew exactly which ones were useful and which ones had become damp and moldy.
The moonlight at night shone faintly into the warehouse. Lin Xiaoyue did not dare to delay at all. She began to move the medicinal materials under the moonlight. Bags of medicinal materials flew into the space and were arranged neatly.
Soon, only damp and moldy medicinal herbs were left in the warehouse. Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. Now, even if someone demolished the entire yard, she wouldn't blink an eye!
Lin Xiaoyue closed the door of the warehouse and rushed to the teahouse. When the space took her halfway, she saw a group of people in military uniforms riding horses galloping past her.
Could it be someone sent by Emperor Liang? What a pity they arrived too late!
Lin Xiaoyue did not hesitate and continued on her way. She had to return to the teahouse before Chen Yunyun woke up!
The teahouse was quiet at this time. Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Gu Mian who was still dozing off and walked straight into the room.
"Yunyun..." Lin Xiaoyue lay down and called softly in Chen Yunyun's ear.
Chen Yunyun reached out and rubbed her ears, then turned over and fell asleep again.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled secretly, curled up in the quilt and quickly fell asleep.
But the good dream didn't last long. The loud sound of fighting woke Lin Xiaoyue up, and even Chen Yunyun, who was sleeping soundly, woke up.
"What happened outside?" Chen Yunyun rubbed his eyes and tried to sit up.
Lin Xiaoyue held Chen Yunyun's shoulders and whispered, "There must be an assassin. Put on the hidden weapon Dad gave you. I'll go block the door. If I can't block it, you can shoot him with the hidden weapon!"
"Okay!" Chen Yunyun nodded, took out the ring chain from under the pillow and put it on, then got off the bed, nervously holding the hidden weapon in one hand and the other, constantly cheering herself up in her heart.
Lin Xiaoyue held a wooden hairpin and blocked the door with her body, but her eyes were staring at the window.
At this moment, the door of the room was slammed hard. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoyue had the habit of locking the door when she slept. The door bolt was unlocked, and Lin Xiaoyue used her back to push the door against the door, and her feet gripped the ground tightly, so no one was able to get in!
But the people outside still refused to give up, one, two, three times... Just when Lin Xiaoyue felt that she could not hold on any longer, there was no movement outside the door!
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the window nervously. The windows in ancient times were all covered with paper and had no resistance at all!
Sure enough, just as Lin Xiaoyue worried, the person outside the door broke in through the window. "Bang!" A big hole was instantly broken in the paper-pasted window!
"Yunyun! Shoot!" Lin Xiaoyue said this with quick eyes and hands. She twisted the wooden hairpin in her hand, and four poisonous needles flew out from the hairpin and shot directly into the assassin's body.
"Ah!" The assassin screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Lin Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Yunyun, "Yunyun, how are you?"
Chen Yunyun felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, making a continuous "boom, boom, boom" sound. She covered her chest and gasped, "I, I can shoot it, I wonder if I hit it?"
Lin Xiaoyue was overjoyed, as she thought Chen Yunyun might not be able to ejaculate the first time!
It seems that Chen Yunyun will be able to get the hang of it soon!
"It doesn't matter. We'll look for it when it gets light!"
Chen Yunyun nodded, her hand touching the second mechanism. "Okay. I wonder if there are any more assassins out there?"
Lin Xiaoyue frowned and looked out the window. The sound outside had died down! Logically, with Gu Mian guarding outside, it wouldn't be that easy for an assassin to break in. Could something have happened to Gu Mian?
She shouted outside: "Mr. Gu! Are you hurt? Is there anyone outside? Dad! Are you there?"
Strangely, no one outside responded, which made Lin Xiaoyue even more confused. With the fighting going on outside, there was no way the drunkard could be sleeping so soundly! Besides, the drunkard didn't know martial arts. Even if he was chasing the assassin, it would be Gu Mian. Why didn't the drunkard react? Could he not have heard her shouting?
Lin Xiaoyue leaned against the door, but her heart flew outside. She really couldn't wait any longer! The old wine monster really treated her as his daughter. If anything happened to the old wine monster, she would never forgive herself!
After much thought, Lin Xiaoyue decided to go out and take a look. She said to Chen Yunyun, "Yunyun, I've been calling for so long, but Dad didn't respond. Waiting like this is not a solution. I must go out and take a look!"
Although Chen Yunyun was trembling with nervousness, she couldn't be so selfish as to let Lin Xiaoyue protect her all the time. Besides, the drunkard was also very kind to her. "It's okay, I'm brave now! Go see uncle!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, opened the door, and went straight to the west wing. "Dad! How are you? Are you hurt?"
Strangely, the door of the west wing was opened easily, and there was only an opened quilt on the bed, and no one was in the entire room!
"Oh no! Yunyun! Dad has been kidnapped! Master Gu is not in the yard!" Lin Xiaoyue ran back to her east wing in a panic, she was so anxious that she was about to smoke!
Chen Yunyun held Lin Xiaoyue's hand, trying to calm her anxious heart. "Sister Lin, don't worry! Maybe uncle has run away and hidden somewhere else? Or maybe Master Gu has gone to rescue uncle. Let's wait a little longer!"
How could Lin Xiaoyue wait any longer?
She walked over to the dead assassin and said, "Yunyun, go light the oil lamp. I want to find some clues on this assassin!"
Chen Yunyun lit the oil lamp with a tinder, then carefully walked over to Lin Xiaoyue and squatted down. "Sister Lin, let me hold it for you?"
"Okay! You walk to the opposite side of me, and wherever my hand moves, your oil lamp will follow!" While speaking, Lin Xiaoyue had already started to feel around the assassin's body. Generally, people who came out to perform missions always had some kind of waist badge or token on them. Even if they didn't have any, there would be special embroidery on these people's clothes, indicating that they were from the palace or some mansion!
