The Yu and Fan families are like cockroaches that can't be killed. They dared to mess with her people, so she shouldn't blame her for showing no mercy.
A carrier pigeon flew out from the backyard of the inn; it was brought by Yunye.
Finding sturdy cloth straps, Lin Yinan and Yun Mo carried Shijiu and Yun Junding on their backs respectively, and led the Qianxia sisters out of the city overnight. Outside the city, they joined a group of secret guards and rode at full speed towards Chi'an.
The remaining wounded guards will break camp and disguise themselves to enter the city early tomorrow morning, so that they can look after Yunye and the others who remain in Shigong City.
To take care of Lu Yashuang's health, Yunye and the others will not return to Longtan until at least half a month after resting in Shigong City.
As for Nanzhou Prefecture, even if Yu Xunmei is not dead, she has suffered such a heavy blow that she will probably not be able to send any more people to deal with them in the short term.
Yu Xunmei did not die. At the moment the bomb exploded, the guard pushed her aside, barely avoiding the blast radius.
While Lin Yinan and his men launched their attack, she took advantage of the chaos and hid in the carriage.
"When we get back, I'll have my brother use such powerful weapons to fight them too!"
"Reporting to Miss, the army does not possess such concealed weapons."
The guards had never seen such a powerful hidden weapon before.
Looking at her subordinates, who were blown to pieces and lying on the ground groaning in pain, Yu Xunmei was so angry she almost spit fire.
She didn't believe the guard's words. "How could the military headquarters not have such weapons?"
“Absolutely true! I have never seen it before.”
As the two were talking, the guards and assassins realized that the situation was hopeless.
"Young Miss, we need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
He summoned the three guards on his left and right to a carriage, and the guard leader drove the carriage away in a panic without hesitation.
Yu Xunmei was lost in thought and had not yet come back to her senses.
The fact that Longtan possessed such a powerful weapon was far beyond her expectations.
No, if the Dragon Pool is not eliminated, it will surely become a major problem in the future.
Thinking this, Yu Xunmei urged the guards to hurry towards Nanzhou Prefecture.
"Hurry! We must report what's happening here to General Yu as soon as possible."
They dared not stop along the way, only changing horses twice in the county towns under the jurisdiction of Nanzhou Prefecture. After hurrying along, they finally arrived in Nanzhou Prefecture five days later.
Upon entering the city, people on the street began pointing and whispering about the carriage as soon as they saw the sign on it.
Today happens to be the grand market day in Nanzhou Prefecture, and the streets are bustling with people, making the carriages move very slowly.
As Yu Xunmei sat in the carriage, she could hear the gossip of the people around her.
"It's unbelievable that a large family like the Yu family would do something so immoral."
"You don't know this. My aunt's eldest sister's son works as a servant in a wealthy family. I heard him say that the more affluent a family is, the more filthy things happen in their backyard."
"Hey, look! Isn't that the Yu family's carriage that's leaving?"
"The flag hanging on the carriage reads 'Yu'."
"I wonder who is sitting inside?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd craned their necks to peer into the carriage.
"I saw her, it looks like Miss Yu."
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Yu Xunmei sitting inside through a corner of the lifted carriage curtain.
Upon hearing this, an older woman immediately lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Miss Yu had an accident in a dilapidated temple outside the city."
"What happened?"
The public's gossip instincts were piqued, and their eyes lit up as they eagerly awaited to hear about the precious family's affairs.
"Wasn't that dilapidated temple previously inhabited by a family of beggars?"
"Yes, I later heard that they were all burned to death in the fire!"
"Wasn't it burned to death? But..." the man said, pointing to the Yu family's carriage, which was already moving slowly.
The woman spat out a sunflower seed shell from her mouth. "What do you think could happen to a woman who's been thrown into a beggar's den?"
"Ah!?" Everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
"I also heard that General Yu of the military government was born to the Yu family head's concubine and was raised in the clan. Now he has been rightfully adopted by Old Madam Yu."
"Like father, like son!"
"No wonder Madam Yu wanted to switch the beams and pillars; it turns out the Yu family has deep roots."
"..."
While the crowd outside the carriage was still gossiping, Yu Xunmei inside was furious, her hands clenched into fists under her sleeves.
The matter of the dilapidated temple was brought up again, as if a healed scar had been ripped open bloodily.
Yu Xunmei's face was extremely ugly. She boldly lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, as if she wanted to remember these people. Her eyes were sinister and vicious.
Before she could speak, the guard leader jumped off the carriage, brandishing his long sword and driving away the gossipers on the roadside.
Stared at by her venomous gaze, the people wouldn't dare to say anything even if they had ten times the courage.
Yu Xunmei flung down the carriage curtain, "Hurry up and get back home!"
"Young Miss, there are too many people on the street, the carriage can't move fast." The guard driving the carriage outside looked troubled.
"Those who don't leave, we'll run them over!"
"yes!"
Judging from the discussions among the people, the Yu family must have encountered some trouble and is now in the eye of the storm. The guards dare not let the carriage run over the people, otherwise, if they were to investigate, he would be the one to take the blame in the end.
Without him saying anything, the guard leader ordered two of his guards to get out of the carriage and clear the way. The driver cracked his whip, and the carriage started moving faster.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yu family's house.
Yu Xunmei got off the carriage and saw that the Yu family's gate was tightly closed, with two rows of guards standing outside. It seemed that something had really happened at home.
"I'll go in first. You all take the carriage to the stables and rest for a while. I'll explain the situation to General Yu and then call you over."
