Chapter 98: Seen?
Lin Xiaoyue fell directly outside the door of the inn. She supported herself with her hands to stand up and glanced at the teahouse opposite. It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet on. The inn of Emperor Liang was actually opposite her teahouse!
If I notify Brother Liang now, it will expose my whereabouts. I can only rely on myself and Gu Mian!
Lin Xiaoyue endured the pain and walked to a deserted place. She activated the space to make herself invisible, then took out all the usable poison powder in the space and let the space take her back to the inn.
At this time, the shopkeeper had been rescued by those thugs. Lin Xiaoyue had no time to continue dealing with the shopkeeper. She was anxious to find Gu Mian!
Finally, Lin Xiaoyue spotted Gu Mian in the crowd. He was stabbed several times and was surrounded. If no rescue came, he would surely die today!
Lin Xiaoyue first threw a few packets of poison powder, waiting for these people to lose their composure.
As expected, the thugs had no idea how the poison powder appeared. They were all one of their own, so was there a traitor? They used their swords to disperse the powder in the air, covering their mouths and noses as they cursed, "There's a traitor! Who's that bastard?"
Lin Xiaoyue thought saving people was the most important thing, so she rushed into the crowd. Gu Mian had suffered so many injuries and had lost a lot of blood, so she could easily knock him out. Then she carried him on her back and let the space take her away from Yuanheng Inn.
After leaving, she went straight back to the teahouse in stealth.
As soon as she entered the teahouse, Lin Xiaoyue exited the space stealth function, laboriously carried Gu Mian on her back and walked a few steps, shouting loudly: "Brother Liang, come and save people!"
Liang Jingyao, who was sitting in the west wing, was so frightened when he heard Lin Xiaoyue's screams that he even used his lightness skills. When he walked outside, he saw Lin Xiaoyue carrying Gu Mian on her back, and Gu Mian was almost covered in blood!
Liang Jingyao directly carried Gu Mian into the room, "What happened to you? Why are you injured so seriously?"
Lin Xiaoyue followed behind, panting, and said, "Brother Liang, did you know? It turns out that the Yuanheng Inn across from us belongs to Emperor Liang! I was just making random guesses in front of the innkeeper just now, and I even gave him a sword, and he called in a group of thugs. These people don't look like thugs raised by ordinary families at all. And I took advantage of the chaos and got a hold of one of them's badge, take a look!"
Liang Jingyao glanced back and saw the word "德" on the waist badge. He turned around and said, "It belongs to Emperor Liang. "德" is in his name, so ordinary people in the world wouldn't use it. These people are Emperor Liang's secret guards. They will definitely search everywhere. We can't stay here for long. Let's go somewhere else to treat Amian's injuries. Fugui, quickly prepare the carriage!"
Lin Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "I'm not leaving. I'll just change my mask. If I don't tell stories tonight, it will definitely arouse suspicion!"
Liang Jingyao frowned and said, "I'm worried about you being alone. Let's go first!"
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head. She had to go back to Yuanheng Inn immediately and kill everyone inside. Only by silencing them would Emperor Liang not know what happened here and would not implicate the Gu family!
"Brother Liang, when have you ever seen anything happen to me? I cherish my life very much. I would have escaped when I should have! Don't worry!"
Liang Jingyao couldn't resist Lin Xiaoyue, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be right back! If they rush into the teahouse before I get here, don't worry about anything else, just run for your life!"
Lin Xiaoyue patted her chest and assured, "I know! Believe me!"
Time was urgent, so Liang Jingyao gritted his teeth and left the teahouse.
Standing outside the small door, Lin Xiaoyue watched the carriage gradually move away until it disappeared from her sight. She then activated the space to become invisible and ran towards Yuanheng Inn.
Inside the Yuanheng Inn, because the two packets of poison powder that Lin Xiaoyue had just sprinkled were quite large, the thugs were afraid of inhaling it and beat them with their swords. As a result, no one could escape. Those who inhaled more died on the spot, and those who inhaled less fell to the ground with serious internal injuries. Only the shopkeeper who was farther away inhaled the least, but he had been hit by a sword in the first place, so his condition became extremely worse.
The shopkeeper pushed the person next to him and said, "What's going on? Where's Gu Mian? Go check it out!"
The thugs walked over and looked around, and found that the people lying on the ground were all their own people. There was no sign of Gu Mian.
He ran back to the shopkeeper and said, "No, he's already escaped!"
The shopkeeper was so angry that he smashed everything on the counter. "Didn't you catch them all? How did they escape? With so many people, you can't catch one person. What use do you have to the emperor?"
The thug lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll take people after them right away!"
The shopkeeper dragged his head in pain, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, we shouldn't be able to run far now!"
Can't run far? Lin Xiaoyue heard this sentence when she entered the door. She looked up and found that the shopkeeper's face had turned pale. He actually wanted to kill him. How vicious!
Lin Xiaoyue covered her mouth and nose with a mask, and then sprinkled a packet of poison powder onto the counter.
The poison powder fell from the sky, and the shopkeeper and his thugs were caught off guard. By the time they reacted, the poison powder had already landed on them, and a lot of it had been inhaled through their noses.
"Ah! There's an assassin!"
"Toxic! Protect the captain!"
…
Lin Xiaoyue sneered, "Assassin? Go find him after you go to hell!"
She turned around and went to the other side, only to see thugs lying on the ground. Some were already dead, while others were still alive from the poison. She took out a dagger and stabbed the thugs who were poisoned in the chest.
Then, in the huge inn, there were sounds of "Ah! Ah! Ah!" one after another. When the last sound fell, the ground was already a river of blood, and no one was left alive.
Lin Xiaoyue stood up and walked behind the counter with a dagger in hand. At this time, the shopkeeper had died from an overdose of poison powder, and the other thugs also died!
She threw the dagger back into the space with confidence and left Yuanheng Inn.
Regardless of whether these people were killed today, her teahouse and restaurant would not be able to continue operating here for long. Emperor Liang was suspicious by nature and had a strong desire for revenge. He would never give up until he turned the entire Yangming Town upside down!
What we need to do now is how to escape smoothly?
Back in the teahouse, Lin Xiaoyue went back to the room to change back into her clothes and the original mask, then threw all the suspicious things in the room, including the clothes and masks she had worn when she went to Yuanheng Inn, into the space. Only in the space would it be safest!
Then she went outside to clean the bloodstains left by Gu Mian.
"What are you doing?" Ge Baoquan's voice made Lin Xiaoyue shudder, and her hands that were wiping the floor trembled.
Finished! I wonder if Shopkeeper Ge saw the blood on the ground?
If I saw it, how would I respond?
Lin Xiaoyue hid the rag behind her, stood up with a wry smile, and said, "Shopkeeper Ge, why are you here? Is it because the customer drinking tea up front is anxious for me to go out and tell a story?"
