Chapter 191: Ginger is still spicy with age!
Lin Xiaoyue couldn't help but frown. Emperor Liang was indeed afraid of death, and he strengthened the guards so quickly!
But in this case, it will be even more difficult for Brother Liang to rescue people!
Lin Xiaoyue looked at the old drunkard and asked, "Dad, you've been in the palace for so many years, and you had a close relationship with the late emperor. Did the late emperor ever tell you about any secret escape routes? Or where there's an army hiding?"
The old drunkard smiled and said, "How is this possible? The late emperor never said anything about this, and even if these things existed, Jing Yao should know more about them than I do!"
Lin Xiaoyue was somewhat disappointed. She looked at Wang Fugui again and asked, "Manager Wang, can a hundred or so Cheetah soldiers enter the capital? Will Emperor Liang order the city gates to be closed in advance? Then, we'll be unable to escape!"
Wang Fugui's heart tightened, how could he have the mood to continue talking here?
He clasped his fists and said goodbye, "Miss Lin is absolutely right. Fugui will lead the Cheetah Army to the capital now. Farewell!"
After Lin Xiaoyue sent Wang Fugui out, the first thing on her mind was to send the old monster away!
She found Zhan Ying and said, "You haven't been to Yangmingshan yet? That's great. I have something else for you to do. Let someone else go to Yangmingshan!"
Zhan Ying nodded and said, "Okay. Miss Lin, go ahead and say it!"
Lin Xiaoyue was afraid of being overheard, so she lowered her voice and said, "Zhan Ying, you also saw Manager Wang coming over. The situation in the capital is very dire! My father is unable to move around and can no longer stay in Yangming Town. I hope you can send him to my godfather's house!"
Zhan Ying knew that Jiu Laoguai was absolutely unwilling to do so. He said awkwardly, "I can't convince Jiu Laoguai! How about this? I'll take Jiu Laoguai with me when I go to the city gate. There's a rest room there."
Lin Xiaoyue disapproved and said, "No. Only two people are going to the city gate. If my dad goes with you, it will distract your attention. It will only increase the danger. Let's send my dad away. I'll let Yunyun go with you. My godfather and godmother are honest people and will definitely take good care of my dad!"
Zhan Ying was helpless. What Lin Xiaoyue said made sense, so he had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Chen. I'll leave the task of delivering the earth bomb to Yangmingshan to Zhan Wei."
Seeing that Zhan Ying agreed, Lin Xiaoyue nodded and turned to go to the kitchen.
"Yunyun." Lin Xiaoyue called softly and walked to Chen Yunyun's side.
Chen Yunyun was sitting on a small stool, concentrating on picking vegetables, so she was still startled by a figure. She patted her chest and said, "Why are you speaking so quietly? I didn't even notice you came in."
Lin Xiaoyue chuckled, squatted down and said, "I'm sorry! I was afraid my dad would hear it. Um, I want you to do me a favor!"
Chen Yunyun looked at Lin Xiaoyue and blurted out, "You want me to stay here and take care of uncle?"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and said, "It's not safe here. I want you and Zhan Ying to send my dad to your house together. Is that okay?"
Chen Yunyun nodded and said, "Of course you can, but will uncle agree? He was very opposed to it yesterday, and he certainly won't agree today."
Lin Xiaoyue leaned close to Chen Yunyun's ear and said, "I have sleeping pills. I'll go downstairs when I deliver the food. When Dad falls asleep, you can set off."
Chen Yunyun wiped her hands, stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the warehouse to pack some medicine. Uncle still needs to take medicine for a while."
Lin Xiaoyue moved the small stool under her buttocks and said, "You go ahead, I'll cook."
Originally, Lin Xiaoyue had no mood to cook, but in order to avoid the drunkard's suspicion, she still made a sumptuous lunch, including stewed pork ribs, steamed fish with bacon, stir-fried pork with garlic chives, and stir-fried cabbage.
"Dad, it's time to eat!" Lin Xiaoyue walked up to the drunkard with a tray of food and handed the food with added ingredients to his hands.
The drunken old monster took a bite of the pork ribs and said, "Girl, you're not going to put drugs in my food just to get rid of me, are you?"
Lin Xiaoyue's heart was pounding. She managed to calm herself down and said, "No. Dad, didn't you eat a few bites? How could I do this?"
The drunken old monster snorted twice and said proudly, "I know you too well, girl. You're more cunning than anyone else! I'm telling you, I've taken the antidote, so even if you give me drugs, it won't work!"
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment. Could it be that she really couldn't get rid of the drunkard? He was her father! How could she just watch him in danger?
"Dad, don't think so badly of me! You are a miracle doctor, how dare I show off my skills in front of you?" Lin Xiaoyue said embarrassedly.
When Jiu Lao saw Lin Xiaoyue being humiliated, he was in a very good mood. Not only did he eat a big bowl of rice, he also drank up the whole bone soup!
"Aha! It tastes good! Girl, you have been busy lately, you should eat more too!" The drunkard wiped his mouth and leaned on the bed energetically.
Lin Xiaoyue was so headache-stricken she could barely eat. Alas, experience always wins! If drugs didn't work, was physical force necessary? Would Zhan Ying be willing?
She ate the rice in her bowl and replied listlessly, "I know."
Just as Lin Xiaoyue was working hard to eat, Zhan Ying strode in.
He walked up to the old drunkard, took out a carrier pigeon and said, "Old drunkard, the master has a secret letter for you!"
The drunkard leaned forward anxiously, trying to take the carrier pigeon from Zhan Ying's hand. "Didn't Fugui come this morning? What urgent matter does Jingyao need?"
When Zhan Ying bent over and extended his hands, one of his hands changed direction and directly landed a knife on the neck of the drunkard, "I'm sorry, drunkard!"
The drunkard fainted before he could even react!
Lin Xiaoyue's wish came true, and she clapped her hands happily, "Great! Dad took the antidote, and those drugs I gave him didn't work! Zhan Ying, you're amazing!"
Zhan Ying scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Nothing! I just heard Miss Chen talk about your plan while we were having dinner, so I came to take a look. The old drunkard is naturally sensitive to drugs, and almost no one can fool him, so don't use this method in the future."
After this, how could Lin Xiaoyue dare to do it again?
She put down her bowl and chopsticks, packed up a few of the drunken old monster's clothes, and handed them to Zhan Ying, "Okay, then you guys should get going quickly!"
Zhan Ying put on his bag, picked up the drunkard and walked out.
Lin Xiaoyue was afraid that the drunkard would catch a cold on the road, so she took a blanket and covered him with it, and also put a hot water bottle that could warm his hands into the carriage.
"Yunyun, when you get home, say hello to my godfather and godmother for me. You must make sure they accept this money! Things were in a hurry and I didn't have time to buy gifts. Also, my father hasn't recovered yet and may need to go out to get medicine. Please ask them to take care of him!" Lin Xiaoyue stuffed a bag of silver into Chen Yunyun's hands.
Chen Yunyun refused to accept it and directly returned the purse to Lin Xiaoyue, saying, "Sister Lin, you have taken good care of our family. I really can't accept this money! Even if I take it back, Dad won't want it!"
