Chapter 1381 Is There Any Chance?

Someone is causing trouble in his village, and General Xue happens to be here. Why not lend him the help he already has?

The two of them ran through the garden, with more and more people gathering behind them.

Xue Zongwu suddenly stopped and looked into the garden.

A gust of wind happened to blow by, and a few wind lanterns in the garden swayed brightly and darkly, making it feel inexplicably desolate.

Qi Yunsheng also stopped and listened, but he only heard the whistling wind:

"how?"

"Nothing." Xue Zongwu looked back.

As he rushed past the old elm tree, he suddenly felt a slight palpitation in his heart, as if something ominous was approaching.

But when he looked around intently, he found nothing.

This feeling was fleeting. Xue Zongwu believed in his intuition. He knew that danger was approaching, but he didn't know where it came from.

…

Wan Qifeng and Wang Fubao stood in front of He Lingchuan's guest room, like a pair of doorkeepers.

Wang Fubao occasionally took two steps and would see a palace guard at Fan Shuang's door in the opposite corridor. After all, a large-scale robbery occurred in the inn in the evening, and Commander Zhao also strengthened the security of the VIP guests.

But the palace guard moved a chair and sat very relaxed, with his eyelids half drooped.

It was too quiet at night, and the sound of rain lulled me to sleep. Anyone who sat around doing nothing would fall asleep.

Wang Fubao whispered to Wan Qifeng, "You don't have to give me all the good work."

Standing in front of the lord's room may seem boring, but compared to Wan Qiliang being assigned to sit under the damp window, it's actually a good job. The grass grows miserable there and is infested with snakes and insects, but the Lord will come back from there later, and someone must be arranged to stand guard to respond.

Wan Qiliang must have felt uncomfortable after squatting there for several hours.

Wang Fubao understood that Wan Qifeng made this arrangement firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly to avoid being dissatisfied.

Wan Qifeng smiled: "Okay, it's your turn next time."

There is no one in the house. The Lord is going out for action tonight and needs them to cover him, so those who admire good deeds should cheer up immediately.

The night was dark, and there was only the sound of wind and rain between heaven and earth.

The three of them guarded an empty room, wondering whether the master's Mangzhou plan was going smoothly.

At this moment, Wan Qifeng suddenly raised his head, and Wang Fubao also took two steps forward, stretched his head and looked at the wooden door on the opposite side of the corridor.

That's Fan Shuang's guest room.

Squeak, the door opened from the inside, and Fan Shuang came out.

He usually pays attention to his appearance, but at this moment, his bun is half loose, his face is flushed, and he is shaking when he walks.

The palace guard guarding the door quickly stood up and said: "Master Fan, wake up..."

Fan Shuang ignored him, glanced at the door opposite, and walked towards it. "Brother He, Brother He!"

Wan Qifeng and Wang Fubao looked at each other, the latter stood still, and the former stepped forward to intercept: "Master Fan, our lord has gone to bed."

Hearing what he said, Fan Shuang raised her voice: "Brother He! He Xiao! Get up, let's have a few more drinks!"

Wan Qifeng's face changed slightly.

Is it okay to let him continue to make such a fuss? If the master never shows up, people will be suspicious.

But Fan Shuang was also an envoy from the Yao Kingdom, so he couldn't knock him out with a knife.

The palace guard on the side also stopped him: "Master Fan, you are drunk..."

Hearing the word "drunk", Fan Shuang was furious and shouted: "Who is drunk? Who do you think is drunk? Bring me the wine, I can still drink it!"

His voice was louder than the sound of the thunderstorm, and Wan Qifeng hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Master Fan, the lord will be here soon! The wine has been put in that room, you go and wait first!"

"He Xiao..." Fan Shuang usually never calls He Lingchuan by his first name, but now there is no taboo.

"He Xiao will be here soon, and I'll have a drink with you right away." After such coaxing, Fan Shuang stopped rushing forward, and was supported by Wanqi Feng and Gong Wei to go to his room.

After entering the room and sitting down on the bed, Fan Shuang tried her best to keep her eyes open and asked, "Where's the wine? Where's He Xiao? I have something to tell him!"

"Here comes the wine." Wan Qifeng took out his own wine from the storage ring and put it into his hand. "You drink first, Master... He Xiao will be here soon."

Fan Shuang took it, drank a few sips, and suddenly fell back.

Both of them were shocked and quickly sniffed him.

Fortunately, my breathing was heavy and strong, and it turned out that I fell asleep again.

Wan Qifeng and the palace guards exited the guest room, closed the door for him, and returned to their posts.

Wang Fubao was still standing here, not moving.

"A-Liang." With the sound of rain, Wan Qifeng asked Wan Qiliang through the eyeball spider, "Are you okay there?"

But don't be tempted to leave the mountain.

"Everything is normal." Wan Qiliang replied calmly, "I just walked around here, no one came close, and nothing entered the door privately."

He heard the commotion in front of He Lingchuan's guest room through the eyeball spider, and immediately became vigilant and checked the surrounding area.

Wan Qifeng's attention was diverted, so he had to take over.

There was nothing unusual, not even a small creature got into the crack of the Lord's window.

Wan Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it was just a false alarm.

The boys brought out by the lord are becoming more and more capable and proactive.

Wang Fubao also heard it and looked up at the rain curtain under the eaves.

It must be uncomfortable to squat in the field on a rainy day. Wan Qiliang was always alert and did not slack off at all.

He also needs to be focused and cannot be outdone by Wan Qiliang.

…

To the west of Xiaotao Villa, there is a small forest.

The snail toad lies here quietly, disguised as a boulder. Dong Rui hid in its shell, drinking and patting it: "Don't eat secretly!"

Today's Snail Toad is no longer a semi-finished product in Lingxu City, and its recipes have been expanded widely.

After being slapped by its owner, the snail toad retracted its tentacles and no longer dared to eat the tender grass leaves on the ground.

However, the next second, Dong Rui sat up straight in shock: "What the hell?"

The explosion in the villa was deafening, and of course it was transmitted to him. Even the snail toad could feel the tremor of the ground.

No matter who did it, it was powerful.

Then, Dong Rui sensed He Lingchuan's trouble through the eye spider.

"Hey, are you still doing it?" He asked He Lingchuan anxiously, "Do you want to retreat?"

...

When Xue Zongwu looked around the garden, He Lingchuan just closed his eyes. This General Xue lived up to his reputation, with extremely sharp spiritual perception. He Lingchuan just stared at him secretly, and he noticed it.

The soul-catching mirror in He Lingchuan's arms cursed:

"Oh my god! What kind of idiot would cause an explosion!"

Until the explosion, the master's plan was obviously going perfectly:

Send the problematic account book to Qi Yunsheng and Xue Zongwu, induce them to talk alone, and reduce the number of idle people around Xue Zongwu.

He Lingchuan sneaked into the Qi Mansion wearing the skin of Lord Boshan;

He found the second housekeeper Yu, and used the art of mind shadow to turn him into a puppet whose words and actions were controlled by He Lingchuan, and then used him to lure Qi Yunsheng away.

At this point, Xue Zongwu is likely to be left alone in the Yangxin Hall.

And this is a great opportunity for He Lingchuan to take action!

Mirror was heartbroken:

The master succeeded in every step. Qi Yunsheng was about to leave, and Xue Zongwu would soon be alone. He Lingchuan was about to climb over the garden and sneak into the Yangxin Hall to complete a lightning-fast kill!

Just at this moment, Xiaotao Villa exploded!

Looking at the billowing smoke rising into the sky, Mirror also felt that his eyes went dark.

Qi Yunsheng ran back like a fly, and the master and apprentice reunited, and He Lingchuan's previous efforts were in vain!

Is there still a chance to take action?

After scolding the stupid thief who secretly set off the explosion in various ways, it asked He Lingchuan: "What should we do now? Should we stop?"

Coincidentally, Dong Rui also asked the same question through the eyeball spider.

The incident happened suddenly. Should He Lingchuan leave or stay?

The plan was disrupted halfway. Now not only Xue Zongwu, but also Qi Yunsheng are on high alert. The wisest thing to do should be to give up on the spot and retreat immediately, right?

It's still not too late to rush back now.

In a flash, dozens of thoughts flashed through He Lingchuan's mind, and he weighed them repeatedly.

He didn't hesitate for long, and silently said: "Continue!"

"Continue?" Mirror and Dong Rui shouted together, "How can we continue this?"

Kill by force?

"Change your thinking. In fact, taking advantage of the situation is also a good way." He Lingchuan quietly climbed over the wall and followed Qi and Xue.

He didn't dare to get close. The two were too sharp.

"The explosion at the villa means that another group of people have sneaked in. Qi and Xue are targeting them, so I will just adapt to the situation."

The plan did not change quickly, and his plan was indeed full of surprises and never failed.

"This is too dangerous!" Jingzi was uneasy, "There are more and more of them! Xue Zongwu's 200 elite soldiers will soon rush in."

The owner originally planned to isolate Xue Zongwu alone, but now he is alone!

"A quarter of an hour!" He Lingchuan gave a time limit. Xiaotao Villa is very large, and it will take at least a quarter of an hour for Xue Zongwu's elite soldiers to rush to him from the resting pavilion. "If we can't succeed within a quarter of an hour, we will retreat!"

His trip to Mangzhou was time-sensitive and the mission was heavy. After killing people, he had to rush back to find Fan Shuang within a limited time.

Dong Rui even said: "Even if the assassination in Mangzhou fails, don't you have a last backup location?"

"Letting the Black Armored Army appear in Tianshui City and assassinate the famous general of Yao State is more than twice as risky as in Mangzhou." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Today's game, we must fight for it no matter what."

He is used to judging the situation. Although unexpected things happened, he reassessed the situation in just a few breaths and felt that there might be a chance.

Dong Rui asked: "Where is the opportunity?"

"Not enough manpower."

"Huh?" The villa was full of people.

"The Qi Mansion has been crowded with guests recently, so they must have strengthened security, but they may not have enough manpower to deal with this kind of emergency. This is our chance."

"Qi Yunsheng is the owner of the villa. He wants to arrest the suspects who caused the trouble and appease the VIPs in the villa. He is in a very difficult situation. He cannot help but borrow Xue Zongwu's power." He Lingchuan analyzed, "The same is true in reverse. Xue Zongwu is a senior border guard, a general of the royal court, and Qi Yunsheng's son-in-law. He cannot always hide behind Qi Yunsheng at this time. So, they will have a division of labor soon!"

These two people can handle things on their own.

"And--" His voice was as thin as a mosquito, "Those who caused the explosion took the trouble to make such a big noise. It is impossible for them to just let the target hear the noise and leave it alone. They must have a backup plan."
