This was a habit she had developed in her previous life. Whenever they went on a mission, they would find a safe place to rest and recuperate before throwing themselves into the intense and exciting battle.
Throughout the journey, Yun Mo dared not speak to her, fearing that she would be saddened by the memory of Nineteen.
Yun Mo swallowed the dry food in his hand as if it were tasteless. He got up and came over to comfort her, but then he heard her breathing evenly.
His eyes flickered slightly, and then he got up and walked towards the place where the guards were resting.
Ah Nan's method was excellent. He also told the guards to rest quickly so they could be well-rested to deal with what was to come.
Following suit, the Chika sisters lay down on either side of Lin Yinan and quickly closed their eyes and fell asleep.
When Yun Mo returned after finishing his business, he saw the three people sleeping soundly, shook his head, and found a tree not far away to sit down and rest.
Shigongcheng, Ye Family
Upon hearing the servant's report, the head of the Ye family's eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly.
Is this really true?
The servant dared not conceal anything and said with certainty, "Master, this is absolutely true. Not only did I see it, but everyone who was with me also saw it. If you don't believe me, you can summon them and ask them."
Just then, Ye Shang strode over, head held high. "Father, what happened?"
As he entered, the servant repeated what he had just said.
"Dad, this is a great opportunity! Didn't you say you couldn't find a chance to get closer to the people of Longtan? Well, the opportunity has come knocking on our door!"
Although Ye Shang was somewhat of a playboy, his clever mind was in no way inferior to that of the Ye family head.
He is very good at seizing the opportunities at hand.
The head of the Ye family smiled and said, "Shang'er is right! Steward, quickly prepare the carriage, Shang'er and I are leaving the city."
Yun Mo, who had only slept for less than fifteen minutes, was woken up by his subordinates.
"Master, the Ye family head from Shigong City has come with the third young master of the Ye family to request an audience!"
Yun Mo pondered for a while but still couldn't remember who this person was or why he knew him.
The guard reminded them, "When the city lord was recruiting clients, the Ye family of Shigong City became one of our major clients in Longtan."
The Ye family head looked at the man walking towards him. He exuded a murderous aura, was handsome and extraordinary, and had a tall and upright figure. It was said that this man was the husband of the City Lord Lin—Yun Mo.
He was truly an exceptional individual; his temperament was remarkably well-matched with that of Lord Lin.
The two bowed to Yun Mo, "Greetings, General Yun!"
Yunmo returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
"What brings you two here?"
"Having heard that Lord Lin and her husband have come to the outskirts of Shigong City without entering, I have come to invite you both to my residence for a rest."
"Patriarch Ye, there's no need for such formalities!"
A cold voice sounded from behind them. Lin Yinan had been alert and woken up as soon as the Ye family head's carriage entered their resting area.
She smiled politely and said, "We have important business to attend to and are unable to enter the city. We hope Patriarch Ye will understand and we will visit you in the future."
The head of the Ye family turned to look at his third son with a troubled expression.
Ye Shang gave him a reassuring look and readily agreed, "I wonder if my Ye family can be of any help to Lord Lin's matter?"
Lin Yinan was an open and honest person. He felt that their grudges with the major families of Nanzhou Prefecture would eventually be made public, so it was better to be frank with them sooner rather than later.
"It's nothing serious. The Yu and Fan families of Nanzhou Prefecture sent assassins to kidnap the women in our family. We specifically brought people here to intercept them. I think it's best for the Ye family not to get involved. If the Ye family head and the third young master are alright, they should return to the city as soon as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire."
Upon hearing this, the head of the Ye family stared at Ye Shang in disbelief. They had spoken too confidently before, and now that the other party had politely declined, it would be too heartless of them to refuse to help.
A glint flashed in Ye Shang's eyes, and he bowed to Lin Yinan and his wife.
"In that case, Mr. Ye thanks City Lord Lin for his consideration!"
Lin Yinan nodded slightly, showing no sign of blaming her.
The Ye family of Shigong City was no match for the powerful families of Nanzhou Prefecture, otherwise they would not have repeatedly yielded on the issue of grain collection.
The head of the Ye family was pulled into the carriage by Ye Shang, and he didn't come to his senses until the carriage started moving.
"Shang'er, with such a great opportunity, how can we..."
Ye Shangchao gestured for him to be quiet and pointed outside the carriage, knowing that martial artists were all sharp-eared and sharp-eyed.
Only after the carriage had traveled some distance did he whisper, "Father, Lord Lin doesn't want to owe us a favor."
"So we're just leaving like this?" the Ye family head asked.
Ye Shang turned to his father and smiled mysteriously, "This is just a delaying tactic. Father, I will go back and ask my second and third brothers to send reinforcements."
"Good, good! My son has indeed grown up and is very thoughtful. I can rest assured now."
The head of the Ye family said "good" three times, stroked his white beard, and looked at his youngest son with a look of satisfaction.
Half an hour later.
Yun Shiyi and the others who went to investigate have returned.
"Reporting to Master and Madam, the carriage escorting the Old Madam and others is expected to arrive here in about an hour."
Lin Yinan asked, "Have you found out anything about the old lady and the others?"
After pondering for a moment, Yun Shi said, "I dare not rashly disturb those assassins. I am also quite far away and cannot see clearly. Through the carriage curtain blown by the wind, I can see that the Second Madam and the Nineteenth Miss are both in the carriage."
Yun Shijiu and Lu Yashuang were in the carriage, which was exactly what she had expected.
How are they?
"I don't know. Everyone inside the carriage seems to be asleep, and there's been no sound." Yun Shiyi shook his head in frustration.
The safest and easiest way to deal with so many people is to put them into a deep sleep, making it easier to transport them over long distances.
