“Master, I will go with you.”
Yun Er thought of the magnificent city lord's mansion and looked eager to try it out.
“There’s already a plague in the city, and there are people going mad for no apparent reason. It’s going to be very dangerous. Why don’t you stay at the camp and I’ll go?” Yunye said, expressing his anxiety.
Yun Mo said in a deep voice, "No, I have a general understanding of the city's layout this afternoon, and I can explore it more thoroughly tonight."
They had to get to Luochu City; they had no way out!
With the Hu army threatening to attack at any moment, only by breaking through Luochu City could they successfully head south.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yiheng stood up and said, "Young Master Yun, I will go with you."
Su Yunzhi and Lin Yuanzhi quickly chimed in, "We'll go too."
"Count me in." Lin Yinan's voice was cool, and her bright eyes shone with determination.
"no!"
"no!"
Two voices rang out simultaneously, one from Lin Yiheng and the other from Yun Mo.
Su Yunzhi looked at her intently, his eyes filled with complex emotions. The words lingered on his lips, but he swallowed them back down.
Yunye stared at him with a probing look, while Yunmo awkwardly touched his nose, as if he hadn't been the one who had just spoken.
Lin Yiheng glanced at Yun Mo out of the corner of his eye and gently advised, "Anan, you shouldn't go this time."
Doctor Lü, who knew the inside story, said with a meaningful look, "The spring night is chilly, and Aunt's health is not suitable for traveling back and forth."
Since Dr. Lü said so, Lin Yinan no longer insisted.
Next, they discussed some details and finally decided that Yun Mo would lead three hundred guards.
The clan chief went back and mobilized more than thirty villagers with good hand and foot skills to go together.
Doctor Lü did not go, but stayed in the small tent, temporarily guarded by two secret guards, until he was released after successfully leaving Luochu City.
Lin Yinan went back and quickly changed her clothes and disinfected her whole body.
He took out the explosives from his spatial storage, as Yun Mo would come to collect them in a moment. He also found a piece of cloth in his spatial storage to wrap them up.
After a quick meal, Lin Yinan lay down in the tent. Although she was physically exhausted, her mind was still racing.
Dr. Lü said to pay attention to my diet, which may be an implication of nutritional deficiencies.
Thinking about the wild vegetables and coarse grains I eat every day, the nutrition is indeed not balanced enough.
First of all, she wasn't getting enough protein and calcium, so she rummaged through her space and found some unexpired calcium tablets, then popped two into her mouth.
She took out the boiled eggs and ate three in one go, choking so badly that she stretched her neck and pounded her chest before finally managing to swallow them. Then she gulped down half a pot of water.
After cleaning up the eggshells, she heard Yunmo calling her from outside.
"Miss Lin, are you there?"
Lin Yinan reluctantly got up, lifted the curtain and went out, handing him the bundle containing the explosives.
"You know how to use it, I don't need to teach you."
Yun Mo took out two eggs from his pocket, handed them to Lin Yinan, looked at her intently, and gave her a gentle smile that was as warm as a spring breeze.
"Dr. Lü said you're not feeling well, so please don't mind the two eggs."
One was his own, and the other was stolen from Yun Er.
Since they had already said all that, Lin Yinan accepted the eggs without hesitation.
Finally, seeing his expectant expression, he said dryly, "Be careful."
A gentle breeze ruffled the stray hairs at her temples. Yun Mo reached out to brush them away, but then raised his hand and lowered it again.
"I'll handle these things from now on. You take care of yourself."
Lin Yinan felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this. Suppressing her impatience, she quickly urged him to leave, saying, "Thank you for your concern! You should go back and rest."
Seeing that she had begun to care about him, a warm feeling welled up in Yun Mo's heart, and he left with cheerful steps.
Lin Yinan rolled her eyes, lowered the curtain, lay back down on the wooden board, and drifted off to sleep.
At midnight, the camp faintly heard shouts of battle. Half asleep, Lin Yinan suddenly sat up.
This is not a dream!
She got up and put on her clothes, startling Lin Chunni, who was sleeping next to her.
"Sister Anan, what's wrong?" Her voice was hoarse as she was not fully awake.
Lin Yinan whispered, "It must be bandits from the city launching a sneak attack."
Upon hearing that bandits were coming, Lin Chunni lost all consciousness and quickly got up to put on her clothes.
Lin Yinan picked up the sword, glanced at Lin Xiaomei, Liu Yu, Lin Chunrong and the others who were still fast asleep, and gave them instructions.
"Chunni, keep an eye on them. Don't let them run out after dark."
“Okay!” Lin Chunni nodded solemnly.
Outside, Lin Shuo, Lin Fu, Hu Shao, and the Lin Yizhang brothers stood guard with knives around them, while Lin Qingxiang stood beside them, leaning on his cane, staring nervously at the woods.
"Uncle, you stay here and keep watch, I'll go check it out."
Without waiting for Lin Shuo's reply, Lin Yinan strode away.
It turned out that about three hundred bandits from the city had come out in the middle of the night to launch a sneak attack, and they ran into Yun Mo and his group who were about to sneak into the city in the dark.
The village chief led some of the villagers on duty to rush up, while the rest stayed at the camp to defend.
Yunye then dispatched another hundred men to wipe out the bandits.
The bandits in the city were a motley crew, no match for the well-trained Yun family guards, plus more than a hundred villagers from Linjia Village.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the bandits surrendered, and their leader was brought before the Yun brothers.
Yun Qi is not only good at finding his way around, but he can also remember people he has met after just one glance.
"Master, this is the servant who tipped off the enemy in the city this afternoon."
Yun Mo asked, "Tell me how the city is decorated tonight?"
"As deep as ever."
The servant was crestfallen; he had really messed up this time, never expecting his opponent to be so formidable.
"You're not lying?"
Yun Yi rolled up his sleeves, ready to step forward and teach him a lesson. The servant was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed, "Everything I said is true. The city lord ordered me to bring men to your camp to catch you off guard. He will bring men out at dawn to count the spoils. This is how we have always dealt with people who pass through Luo Chu City."
Then Yun Mo asked about the detailed defense situation in the city and the defenses of the city lord's mansion.
After thinking for a moment, Yun Mo said, "Have the guards whip these living people, but don't kill them instantly. Whip them until they scream in agony. Then light several bonfires and burn them brightly, and burn the corpses as well."
"Are you trying to use a feint?" Yunye's eyes sparkled.
"That's right."
"Okay, I know what to do."
Leaving Yunye behind to make arrangements, Yunmo led his men to Luochu City.
The scene was somewhat bloody, and Lin Yinan turned back.
Seeing the panicked villagers in the camp, Lin Yinan had an idea.
She found Aunt Li, and asked her to call a few loud-voiced women from the village. They borrowed the village chief's gong, and the group put on masks and headed straight for the woods.
The village chief was afraid she would damage the ancestral gong, and the clan chief would skin him alive, so he quickly followed.
Upon hearing that all the bandits had been captured, the bolder villagers followed, forming a large and imposing group.
The villagers were terrified by the bandits' screams.
Lin Yinan whispered instructions to Aunt Li, who immediately understood and whispered something to the women she had brought with her.
The group chuckled lewdly, then started howling at the top of their lungs.
