Chapter 135: Two Teams Join Forces
Perhaps fearing that Qin Xiangnuan might get hurt and affect the brothers' work later, the waiter was extremely careful when moving Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin. He tied Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin together, carried them directly on his back, and slowly walked downstairs. This posture and state just made it convenient for Qin Xiangnuan to open her eyes and observe the terrain. The structure of the inn was very ordinary, except that the cellar was slightly expanded.
She narrowed her eyes, exhaled silently, and deliberately increased the weight of her body.
"Hey? Why is it getting heavier? This is really..." The waiter stopped panting, his whole body drained. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, not noticing that the person on his back had woken up. Jiang Lin looked at her, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of inquiry. To be able to remain so calm in the face of danger, to even think of a solution and a solution in an instant, is something that even the most skilled secret guards can't do.
Even if General Qin Guang were here, it would be impossible.
Who was Qin Xiangnuan? How could she possess such a mindset and courage? A daughter of a wealthy family? Jiang Lin wouldn't believe even a hint of her excuses at this moment. The doubts he'd just dispelled resurfaced. Qin Xiangnuan could sense Jiang Lin's gaze from the corner of her eye, but she couldn't help but worry. The most important thing now was to resolve the current situation, or else everyone in the General's Mansion would be in danger.
"What were you doing? Damn it, you didn't secretly give that girl to..."
The shopkeeper stood up, his tone filled with dissatisfaction. However, when he saw Jiang Lin on the waiter's back, his eyes became strange. "Although this young man has slicked-back hair and a pretty face like a woman, you wouldn't have such a habit, would you?"
"Fuck you, these two can't be separated."
The waiter went to the cellar and threw the two men to the ground. He didn't even have the strength to speak. He pointed at Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin and said, "The materials of their clothes are both good. Just take them off. Maybe you can exchange them for some silver in town." He picked up the wine bowl, took two gulps, and signaled the shopkeeper to take action.
The shopkeeper had a wicked smile on his face and walked up to Qin Xiangnuan with his hands outstretched.
He reached into Qin Xiangnuan's collar, about to pull off the bib inside to release himself, but the next second, his face suddenly changed, he wailed, and took two steps back. The waiter was frightened by his action and grabbed the kitchen knife in his arms, shouting in the flickering candlelight, "What the hell? What's going on?"
"That woman has a thorn in her body."
The shopkeeper spread his hands. In the candlelight, both men could see needle marks all over his palms, black blood oozing out. "This is definitely not an ordinary person. What kind of girl would hide needles on her body? You go first, I'll give you the chance!" The shopkeeper, a little scared, gestured for the waiter to come over. After this incident, both men became wary and used the tip of their kitchen knives to pry open Qin Xiangnuan's collar.
Now, the needle bag in her arms fell out.
"Ah, so it's this thing." The shopkeeper took a closer look, and his vigilance was mostly reduced. He bumped into the waiter's shoulder and pushed him behind him and said, "Let me do it!" The word "lust" was a knife hanging over his head, but he seemed to not care at all.
The waiter was also breathing heavily and simply nodded in agreement, "Be careful and don't get startled."
What they did was to slander and break the law. They were already guilty. If they were threatened a few more times, they would definitely be scared and confess here. The shopkeeper rubbed his hands happily and muttered, "Don't worry, it won't happen again!" He came to Qin Xiangnuan again, pinched her face with his hands, and started to tear open Qin Xiangnuan's clothes, but he couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried, holding the ribbons with both hands.
"Hurry up! The potion won't last until dawn. Let's pack up here and head to town."
The waiter didn't look up at the shopkeeper, but just sat on the bench with his back to him and gave orders.
"Is it difficult? Try untying the sides with your hands and then pulling it off." As the shopkeeper, sweating profusely and gritting his teeth, tried to take off Qin Xiangnuan's clothes, a voice floated from a distance. The shopkeeper was so focused that he didn't even notice who was talking. He just followed her instructions and tried it. Sure enough, the coat was taken off. "I see, that's how it is. Thank you..."
Wait, something's wrong!
Why was that a woman’s voice just now?
The shopkeeper snapped back to his senses, realizing something was amiss. He soon met Qin Xiangnuan's clear, yet murderous eyes. In a flash, Qin Xiangnuan peeled off her coat and threw it over the shopkeeper's head, temporarily blinding him. "Go!" Qin Xiangnuan said to Jiang Lin. She pressed the shopkeeper's head with her hand, slid over, and kicked the waiter in the shoulder.
When the waiter heard her movement, he reacted quickly. He lay on the ground and avoided the attack.
"Who are you?"
He held two kitchen knives in his hands. Seeing Qin Xiangnuan and Jiang Lin standing back to back, he said with a fierce look in his eyes, "It doesn't matter anymore. No matter where you come from, you must die here today! Don't even think about getting out alive!"
"You're quite arrogant. If you want to kill me, I'll just have to see if you have the ability to do so."
Qin Xiangnuan's harsh words flowed easily as she told Jiang Lin, "I'll leave the big idiot to you, and I'll keep the leader alive." She didn't lower her voice at all, leaving the waiter and the shopkeeper feeling strangely humiliated. The four of them engaged in a near-simultaneous struggle. Qin Xiangnuan held the waiter's arms with her hands, pressing down with the kitchen knife.
"If you change your mind now and stay with us, we can still give you..."
Bang! Before the waiter could finish, Qin Xiangnuan grabbed his arms, flew up, and kicked him in the mouth. The smell of blood spread throughout the cellar. Taking advantage of the moment when he stumbled backward, Qin Xiangnuan squatted on the ground, pulled out a few darts from her boot, and threw them with exceptional precision.
The dart with a red ribbon is small and exquisite, but extremely sharp.
The tip of the knife pierced the waiter's wrist and palm, and the knife fell to the ground. The waiter clutched his hand in pain, kneeling on the ground and wailing. Qin Xiangnuan pulled out the whip wrapped around her waist. The whip seemed to have a life of its own and rushed towards the waiter, wrapping it around his neck twice.
"How's your situation? Do you need any help?"
Qin Xiangnuan put one foot on the bench, holding a whip in one hand, and looked back at Jiang Lin, "If you need anything, just ask. Don't be embarrassed."
