The group turned back and helped Yu Zhan walk out.
As Yu Zhan walked out, he said, "Call a few people over to put out the fire!"
"If this keeps burning, the brothers won't have anywhere to have fun anymore!"
She was speaking, but her eyes were wandering, and her feelings were extremely complicated.
She cursed Lin Xiuyan in her heart for being shameless, but she could only endure it.
Although several of Lin Xiuyan's round balls had burned, the fire was extinguished in time because they put it out in time, and the fire was not too big. At this time, most of the fire was extinguished.
The once magnificent Yihong Courtyard has been completely transformed after this ordeal.
When she went out, she saw Princess Anle standing at the door with a livid face.
She paused for a moment, then smiled at him: "Today I originally intended to kill Lin Xiuyan for the princess, but instead the princess sent people to rescue me."
Princess Anle looked at her and asked, "What did Lin Xiuyan say to you?"
Yu Zhan replied, "What could she possibly say? She just wanted to persuade me to join her side."
"She said that even if the princess is capable, she is still no match for the local bully in Liefeng Prefecture, where she is all alone."
"And she is the only daughter of the Lin family. The Lin family's money is more than enough to support our army."
"She makes it sound nice. No matter how rich the Lin family is, they are just ordinary merchants who can go bankrupt any day."
Princess Anle remained noncommittal and asked another question: "What do you think of the weapon Lin Xiuyan threw?"
Yu Zhan replied, "It is something I have never seen before, something I have never heard before, and it has enormous destructive power."
Princess Anle asked, "If we were to encounter each other on the battlefield, do you have a plan to deal with it?"
Yu Zhan shook his head: "No."
Princess Anle lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, "With such powerful weapons, they will surely be invincible in future battles."
“If they are sincere in trying to recruit General Yu, I think General Yu should consider it.”
Yu Zhan immediately sensed the trap in his words and hurriedly said, "Princess, you are joking. Even if they have such powerful weapons, there is nothing to fear."
"That thing doesn't look like something that can be mass-produced; it's simply impossible for it to be used on a large scale."
"If that's the case, then what is there to fear?"
She said bitterly, "Lin Xiuyan played me for a fool today and injured me. I will definitely grind her to dust!"
While Yu Zhan and Princess Anle were discussing her spherical weapon, Lin Xiuyan was also discussing the matter with Ye Junfei:
"Those spheres are extremely complex to make, and it is unlikely that they can be mass-produced."
"Moreover, the production cost is extremely high; such a small sphere would cost nearly a thousand taels of silver."
"So what I threw out today wasn't a ball, but silver!"
She clutched her chest and said, "I threw away over ten thousand taels of silver today, my heart aches so much!"
Although the Lin family was wealthy, they couldn't afford to throw their assets away like that.
Today, she really went all out to save her life and shock Yu Zhan!
Ye Junfei almost laughed when he saw her expression. She reached out and pinched his cheek, saying, "You still have the nerve to laugh! Pay me back the money."
Ye Junfei gently took her hand and said, "Don't talk about money, I am yours."
Lin Xiuyan blushed slightly upon hearing this, glared at him, and said, "We're still in danger, so be serious!"
They hadn't gone far; they were in a private room on the top floor of the Yihong Courtyard.
This elegant room is far less luxurious than the rooms downstairs, and it is smaller in size, but simply yet tastefully furnished.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "This is the stronghold that I had Wu Ge plant in the Yihong Courtyard, bypassing the peddler. No one can find it."
After he finished speaking, he gently put his arm around her slender waist and said, "So it's safe here, does that mean I don't have to be so serious anymore?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
When Lin Xiuyan came up with him, she found the place to be very secluded.
Because it's on the top floor, few people come here, and it's very cleverly constructed, with access coming from a storage room.
From the outside, you wouldn't be able to tell there's another room here; you'd just think the storage room had reached its end.
She reached out and pushed him away slightly, asking, "Did you know beforehand that the peddler was suspicious?"
Ye Junfei shook his head: "He always seemed very reliable before, and he had been by my side for a long time, and he had passed my tests before."
"So when you told me today that he has a problem, I was genuinely a bit surprised."
When Lin Xiuyan parted ways with him, she wrote a few lines on his hand, telling him that the peddler was suspicious. (cascoo.net)
She asked with some curiosity, "If that's the case, then why did you bypass the peddler and have Wu Ge decorate this room?"
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "That's because when I was in the capital, I was betrayed by the person I trusted most, so I don't easily trust anyone."
"Even with my closest confidants, I still hold back a few tricks when I ask them to do things."
Lin Xiuyan was stunned when she heard his words. Even across time and space, she could still feel his anger and helplessness at that moment.
What kind of despair is it when a person is in a foreign land and the only person they trust betrays them?
That experience made it difficult for him to trust others in the future, and he developed a habit of keeping things to himself, which was quite unfortunate.
She thought for a moment, then reached out and gently hugged him, saying, "Those things are all in the past, and everything will be alright from now on."
Ye Junfei's lips curved slightly as he gently embraced her, saying, "You're right, all of that is in the past. At least I have you now."
"Since that peddler is an Anle man, then this time we should make the most of him."
She realized he was about to kill someone and had already set a trap, waiting for the peddler to jump in.
She nestled gently in his arms and sighed softly. The more she learned about him, the more she realized how difficult things had been for him.
A very faint fragrance wafted into Lin Xiuyan's nostrils, and her brows furrowed slightly; the fragrance seemed a bit off.
Before she could fully discern what the fragrance was, she felt Ye Junfei's body tremble.
Lin Xiuyan quickly sat up and looked at him. He reached out and covered his chest. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Junfei looked up at her, and she saw a strange red tinge in his peach blossom eyes.
The red wasn't from the whites of his eyes being stained with blood; rather, it was from his jet-black pupils turning red.
She had seen Ye Junfei like this in her past life; this was a sign that he was about to go mad.
Lin Xiuyan was startled and immediately recognized the ingredients in the fragrance. It was a drug that could drive Ye Junfei into a state of demonic possession and madness!
She immediately reached out to take his pulse, which was already erratic.
The demonic possession she had painstakingly cured of him some time ago has not only reverted to its original state, but is even more severe than before.
The incident happened suddenly, and she had no medicine on hand to treat him.
She hurriedly took out silver needles to apply acupuncture to him, but he had already become frantic and pressed her down on his body, biting her neck hard!
