The guard who returned to the tavern took off his raincoat and sat in front of the table. The waiter immediately brought the cold ginger soup from the back kitchen. A guard stepped forward and took the ginger soup pot from the waiter's hand and poured it for himself.
After grabbing the bowl, I took a big sip.
Next, he poured it for dozens of other guards one after another. Seeing that everyone drank it clean, the guard handed the empty ginger soup pot to the waiter and told the waiter to continue making ginger soup. Where is the waiter?
If you dare to neglect, you will rush to the kitchen with a pot and a nod.
An hour later, the resting guards put on their hats again and went on duty. The replaced guards were all the same as the first batch of guards. They drank the ginger soup poured by one of the guards and sat on the first floor to rest, waiting to go on duty again.
Time passed little by little, and the originally semi-dark sky was now so dark that one couldn't see his fingers. The sky seemed to be covered by a huge piece of black silk, without a trace of light, and it was so dark that it made people feel depressed.
It seemed that even the air was filled with a suffocating sense of pressure. The only sound between the sky and the earth was the continuous patter of rain and the howling of ghosts and wolves in the roaring wind.
It was already Xu o'clock when Mu Tianxue woke up. She had a very restful sleep. She thought that it was Long Chen's massage that had an effect on her. She felt light all over her body and her head was not so heavy and painful.
"Wake up, you slept well." Seeing Mu Tianxue wake up, Long Chenyi's already numb body was finally able to move. He didn't move even a little bit all afternoon, just for fear of waking her up. Now he felt that his body was swollen.
The numbness is not there anymore, but I just do some exercise and adjust my breathing, and then I can feel the blood flowing smoothly and I won't be unable to move.
"Well" Mu Tianxue blinked her sleepy eyes, raised her head to look at Long Chenyi, stretched and started to work, she touched her growling belly and said, "What time is it? I fell asleep.
how long."
Long Chen also turned over and got off the soft couch, moved his muscles a little, and estimated what time it was. After a while, he said: "You have been sleeping for about two hours. It should be midnight now. You are hungry. Then
I will pass on the dinner."
Just as he was talking, the waiter's trembling and panicked voice came from outside the door, "The man inside's dinner is ready."
Lai Yi took the food brought by the waiter and said, "Well, you can go down!" After that, he knocked on the door to report. After getting permission, he pushed the door in. He placed the food on the table and carefully tested it with a silver needle.
After passing the poison and confirming that there was nothing wrong with the food, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Queen, please feel free to enjoy your meal."
Mu Tianxue and Long Chenyi then sat down to eat. Long Chen also kept serving dishes to Mu Tianxue. Every time he wanted to watch her eat, he started to use his chopsticks to eat. Mu Tianxue looked after himself.
While he was eating, he occasionally gave Long Chen Yi some chopsticks to eat and told him to eat more.
After dinner, Long Chen also spoke slowly: "What could happen?" On such a rainy night, how could the enemy do nothing?
Lai Yi leaned forward and said: "The guards patrol back and forth every hour, but nothing happens. Could the enemy want to stay in the dead of night and launch an assassination operation against us when everyone is tired?"
He also felt that it was a bit abnormal to be inactive all this time. It was impossible for the enemy to retreat, so he must be planning a major conspiracy and would never miss a rare opportunity like tonight.
There was no wave in Long Chenyi's deep eyes. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking deeply at the moment, or perhaps he was not thinking at all. After a few seconds of silence, he poured himself a cup of tea and said in a voice without a trace of emotion:
"Pass the jade noodles."
After Lai Yi responded, he immediately exited the room. A few minutes later, he led Yu Mian over. "Master, what do you need to do?" Yu Mian leaned forward and said respectfully.
Half an hour later, Yumian and Laiyi exited the room, immediately rushed to the lobby on the first floor, escorted everyone, and shouted loudly: "Everyone should be aware of our current Chu state and what will happen next.
The master knows that everyone has done their duty and performed their duties in the storm all afternoon. Even if everyone is a martial arts practitioner, the cold and dampness will hurt the body, which will be very detrimental to the next thing. From now on, every day
Everyone lined up in order and came to me for treatment."
Having said that, Yumian Ming cleared a table and began to take pulses and diagnoses for the guards who came forward. Naturally, all the guards were overjoyed and lined up in an orderly manner. No one wanted to catch the cold and affect their subsequent performance.
Hearing that everyone's pulse was about to be checked, several of the guards began to look uneasy, but they did not show it. They just glanced at each other in unison and communicated quickly with their eyes.
There were three figures standing in front of the window of a room on the second floor. The three figures kept scanning the guards waiting in line on the first floor for diagnosis. Goodbye Yumian distributed black pills one by one to the diagnosed guards.
"Are you sure you can find anything unusual by doing this?" After looking for a while, Lian Cheng couldn't figure out the reason and asked with some uncertainty.
Long Chen also scanned a few of the people in the team with his sharp eyes. At first glance, he saw that there was nothing wrong with him. But if he looked carefully, he found that there seemed to be something in the palms of several people. When no one saw it, he quickly moved from
flashed across his lips.
After that, it returned to normal. The speed was as fast as lightning. The very ordinary movements did not easily attract people's attention, let alone be easily noticed. Unfortunately, that scene did not escape Long Chen's sharp eyes.
.
"The enemy has been slow to move, and there must be a reason for this. They already know that we are not poisoned, and they will not act rashly unless they are sure of victory. But tonight is a rare opportunity, and the enemy will never stand still.
The reason why they haven't launched an attack on us yet is either because they want to win with one blow, but this is obviously impossible, or because they are planning something in progress. Compared to the former, the latter has more basis." Mu
Tianxue looked at the people downstairs and said solemnly.
Liancheng glanced sideways at her, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his attention to the guards on the first floor, "So, you suspect that there are enemy people among these guards?"
Mu Tianxue nodded, "The violent storm in the afternoon can cover up all hearing. Even martial arts practitioners will have inaccurate hearing and sensing in such wind and rain. If the enemy uses the sound of wind and rain to cover up the movement of the assassination,
How could it be so easy to detect.
Of course, this is just speculation, and I don’t want anyone in the escort to die and infiltrate enemy personnel, but I can’t live without some precautions.”
Liancheng nodded in agreement, "Now, we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. They know our movements very well. We cannot attack mainly, we can only make comprehensive plans, prepare for rainy days, and take nip before it happens. We will always be right."
