Mingwei had eaten, washed up slowly, and waited for bed.
When Duofu was making the bed, Yang Shu climbed through the window and came in.
"Young Master!" Ah Wan said happily.
Yang Shu made a silent gesture, closed the window and came over.
Mingwei glanced over: "Where is my cousin?"
"Drunk." He clicked his tongue. "My drinking capacity is too light. It will not be easy for me to get involved in official circles in the future."
Mingwei said: "My cousin is a serious person."
Yang Shu squinted: "You mean, I'm not a serious person?"
Mingwei chuckled and was too lazy to answer.
Duofu looked at them, a little timidly: "Miss..."
She didn't understand what was going on now! In the middle of the night, Mr. Yang came in through the window again... Could there be some male-female defense between them?
Mingwei glanced at it and said, "Don't scare Duofu, let's get down to business!"
Yang Shu followed the good example, straightened his face, and asked her: "Are you sure those people will come tonight? We have only left Dongning for a day, so it is not a good time."
With so many people escorted, it may take a month to travel from Dongning to the capital. The best time would be in the second half of the journey, when the officials are already very tired.
Mingwei replied: "Actually, they have been waiting for a long time. Mingsan's plot was exposed by us, and the man was injured and escaped, and he will never run away. For so many years, their existence has not been known to the public, which shows the tightness of their organization.
Now that the secret is known to us, will we be allowed to go to the capital like this and bring this secret into the center?"
Yang Shu touched his chin: "So, this journey is dangerous."
Mingwei nodded: "I'll definitely be shocked every step of the way."
"Wait, you still didn't tell me, how do you know those people will come tonight?"
Mingwei said, "You'll know just by looking out the window."
Yang Shu was puzzled. He went to the window and took a look. He saw that it was dark outside and only a few lights were left on.
"Nothing!" he muttered and suddenly froze.
"Discovered?"
Yang Shu nodded silently.
No sound! They are both humans and horses. It’s not very late at night yet, so why are they so quiet?
"What's going on?"
"Someone has set up a barrier in the inn." Mingwei said quietly, "From the moment we step in, we won't be able to get out unless the barrier is broken."
Yang Shu frowned: "You mean, we are cut off from the outside world?"
"Um."
After a moment of silence, Yang Shu cursed in a low voice: "I knew you were unreliable! You know you've been tricked, and you still live here like this?"
Ming smiled brightly: "Otherwise, how can I invite you to enter the urn?"
"You're not afraid of tipping over either!"
Mingwei didn't take it seriously: "The bold ones will be beaten to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death. If you only want to be safe, how can you possibly catch them out?"
Yang Shu couldn't defeat her.
He seems to be uncoordinated, but he actually wants to act steadily. On the contrary, she has a very adventurous spirit in her heart. It is obvious that she only has three-legged cat skills now, and her magic power is so meager that she can only catch little devils, but she still dares to step into traps.
"Forget it, everyone has moved in. Tell me, what should we do now?"
Mingwei stood by the window, looking into the dark night: "Since I came to this era, I have never fought against a real Xuanshi. Let me try their skills tonight!"
…
The old postman had just finished delivering hot water to a customer when he saw a girl coming out of the innermost room upstairs.
"Old man, do you still have food to eat?"
The old postman recognized her as the personal maid of the grand young master, and hurriedly smiled and said: "There are still some leftovers, but the fire on the stove has been turned off and it is cold now."
"It's okay, let me borrow the kitchen and I'll do it myself." He said and handed over a broken piece of silver.
The old postman's eyes lit up, he saw that there were only two taels of silver in this piece of silver. He was worthy of being at the side of a noble man. What a generous move!
"Girl, please." He led the other party diligently to the kitchen at the back, and then brought out the rice, noodles and vegetables. "The ingredients are all here, girl, do whatever you want."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll do it myself."
"Okay!"
The old postman came out of the kitchen. Hearing the sound of a knife chopping on a chopping board, he put the piece of broken silver into his mouth and took a bite, then narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Great job! I made a lot of money tonight.
He collected the broken silver, tightened his clothes tightly, and carried the lantern to the stable.
The inn is full of noble people, so those horses can't make mistakes.
The stable was particularly quiet tonight. The horses, whether they were riding people or pulling carts, all seemed to be asleep, and there wasn't even anyone eating the night grass.
The old postman took a closer look and made sure they were fine, so he planned to go back to rest.
He stood at the exit of the stable and suddenly realized that he could no longer see the house. The fog had arisen at some point, and the gray fog blocked his vision. He could only see dim lights.
The old postman shrank back, muttered, and stepped into the fog.
After a while, he stopped and a layer of white sweat appeared on his back.
The stable was only a hundred or so steps away from the house over there. He had just walked at least a thousand steps, and the lights were still the same distance from him.
Ghost hitting the wall?
The old postman started to tremble and hurried forward, but he couldn't reach the other side at all.
…
In the mist, two figures in black came over the wall.
Judging by their body shapes, they are a man and a woman.
The woman lowered her voice and asked: "Smelly rat, didn't you say that man also knows mystical arts? Are you sure that the barrier you set up will not be seen by others?"
The man sneered: "You underestimate me!" After retorting, he explained, "She may have discovered the barrier, but since everyone has entered, what else can we do?"
"Then are you sure we can succeed in a sneak attack like this?"
"Can you try it and you'll know?" The man was too lazy to talk nonsense. He tapped lightly and jumped up silently.
In the room, Yang Shu, who was lying on the bench, suddenly opened his eyes.
The lights had been turned off, and only the wind lantern hanging outside under the eaves let in a little light.
He quietly held the handle of the umbrella.
The door latch was gently opened, and a pill rolled in first.
The pills emitted a fine smoke, and soon a light fragrance filled the room.
The people outside were very cautious. After a while, they slowly opened the door with a dagger.
Through the dim light outside, they saw a woman lying on the bed.
There was a bunk on the floor in front of the bed, and a girl was sleeping on it.
The two of them winked at each other, one went to the bed and the other went to the floor.
The one who went to catch the girl, just as he got closer, suddenly felt that the girl was breathing a little heavy, so he slapped her down without hesitation.
This change was so sudden that the other party was shocked by her and wanted to resist in a panic, but was a step too late.
He slapped it firmly with one palm.
She smiled evilly. So what if she found out? Kill her first!
But she soon realized something was wrong.
This palm seemed to be slapped on a rock without moving at all.
Then, a huge force came overwhelmingly.
She groaned, and the real energy in her body was so shocked that she lost control, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
