After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1381 Is there any chance?
There was a riot in his manor, and General Xue happened to be here. Why not borrow the ready-made help?
The two ran through the garden, with more and more people gathering behind them.

Xue Zongwu suddenly stopped and looked into the garden.

Just then a gust of wind blew by, and the lanterns in the garden flickered, creating an inexplicably desolate feeling.

Qi Yunsheng also stopped and listened, but he only heard the whistling sound of the wind:
"how?"

"Nothing." Xue Zongwu retracted his gaze.

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, he found nothing.

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

……

Wanqi Feng and Wang Fubao stood in front of He Lingchuan's guest room, like a pair of door gods.

Wang Fubao occasionally walked around and saw that there were also palace guards at Fan Shuang's door on the opposite corridor. After all, the inn had just experienced a large-scale robbery in the evening, and Commander Zhao had also strengthened the security of the VIPs.

But the palace guard moved a chair and sat down very relaxedly, with his eyelids half drooping.

It was too quiet at night, and the sound of rain was soothing. Anyone who just sat there doing nothing would feel sleepy.

Wang Fubao whispered to Wanqi Feng, "You don't have to assign all the good jobs to me."

Standing guard at the door of the master's room may seem boring, but it is actually a good job compared to Wanqi Liang being assigned to the damp window. There are gloomy grass and snakes and insects there, but the master will be coming back from there later, so someone must be arranged to stand guard to meet him.

Wanqi Liang must have been uncomfortable squatting there for several hours.

Wang Fubao understood that Wanqi Feng made this arrangement, firstly to avoid suspicion, and secondly to avoid his dissatisfaction.

Wanqi Feng smiled: "Okay, it's your turn next time."

There is no one in the house. The lord is going out for a mission tonight and needs them to cover him, so the kind-hearted people have to be alert in time.

The night is dark, and the only sounds between heaven and earth are the sounds of wind and rain.

The three of them were guarding an empty house, wondering whether their lord's Mangzhou plan was going smoothly.

At this moment, Wanqi Feng suddenly looked up, and Wang Fubao also took two steps forward and looked towards the wooden door opposite the corridor.

That is Fan Shuang's guest room.

With a creak, the door opened from the inside and Fan Shuang came out.

He usually pays attention to his appearance, but at this moment his hair is half-disheveled, his face is flushed, and he is unsteady when he walks.

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

Fan Shuang ignored him, glanced at the other side of the doorway, and walked over here. "Brother He, Brother He!"

Wanqi Feng and Wang Fubao looked at each other. The latter stood still while the former stepped forward to intercept him: "Master Fan, our lord has gone to bed."

Hearing him say this, Fan Shuang raised her voice instead: "Brother He! He Xiao! Hurry up and get up, let's have a few more drinks!"

Wanqi Feng's expression changed slightly.

How can we let him continue to make trouble like this? If the lord does not show up, people will suspect him.

But Fan Shuang was an envoy of the Yao Kingdom after all, and he couldn't knock him out with just a single knife.

The palace guards beside him also tried to stop him: "Master Fan, you are drunk..."

Hearing the word "drunk", Fan Shuang became furious and yelled, "Who is drunk? Who do you say is drunk? Bring me some wine, I can still drink!"

His voice was louder than the sound of thunder and rain, and Wanqi Feng hurried forward to support him: "Master Fan, the master will be here soon! The wine is in that room, please go over and wait!"

"He Xiao..." Fan Shuang usually never calls He Lingchuan by his full name, but now she has no taboos.

"He Xiao will be here soon and will go drink with you right away." After being coaxed like this, Fan Shuang stopped rushing forward and let Wanqi Feng and the palace guards support her as she went to her room.

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

"The wine is here." Wanqi Feng took out his own wine from the storage ring and stuffed it into his hand, "You drink first, Master... He Xiao will be here soon."

Fan Shuang took it, gulped down a few gulps, and suddenly fell backwards.

They were both startled and quickly checked his breathing.

Fortunately, his breathing was heavy and powerful, and it turned out that he had fallen asleep again.

Wanqi Feng and the palace guards left the guest room, closed the door for him, and returned to their posts.

Wang Fubao was still standing here, not moving at all.

"Ah Liang." Taking advantage of the sound of rain, Wanqi Feng asked Wanqi Liang through the eyeball spider, "Are you okay?"

I hope he wasn't the one who was lured away.

"Everything is normal." Wanqi Liang replied calmly, "I just walked around here, no one approached, and nothing got in privately."

He heard the noise in front of He Lingchuan's guest room through the Eye Spider and immediately became alert and checked the surroundings.

Wanqi Feng's attention was diverted, so he had to fill in the position.

There was nothing unusual, not even a small creature crawling into the lord's window.

Wanqi Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately it was just a false alarm.

The guys brought 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 wild on a rainy day. However, Wanqi Liang was always alert and did not slack off.

He also needs to be focused and not be outdone by Wanqi Liang.

……

There is a grove of trees to the west of Xiaotao Villa.

The snail toad lay quietly here, disguised as a huge rock. 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, its diet has expanded greatly.

After being slapped by its owner, the snail toad retracted its tentacles and dared not to steal the tender grass leaves on the ground anymore.

But the next second, Dong Rui was so shocked that he sat up straight: "What the hell?"

The explosion in the villa was deafening, and of course it reached him. Even the snail toad could feel the tremors on the ground.

No matter who did it, it was quite powerful.

Then, Dong Rui detected He Lingchuan’s trouble through the eye spider.

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

……

When Xue Zongwu looked around the garden, He Lingchuan closed his eyes. General Xue lived up to his reputation, and his perception was extremely sharp. He Lingchuan only stared at him secretly, but 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 going perfectly:

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

He Lingchuan sneaked into Qi's mansion wearing the skin of Lord Boshan;
Find Butler Yu Er, use the art of mind-shadow transmission to turn him into a puppet whose words and actions are controlled by He Lingchuan, and then use him to lure Qi Yunsheng away.

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

And this is a great opportunity for He Lingchuan to take action!
The mirror was heartbroken:

The master succeeded in every step. Qi Yunsheng was about to leave, Xue Zongwu would soon be alone, and 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 thick smoke rising into the sky, Jingzi also felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

Qi Yunsheng ran back like a fly, and the master and disciple reunited, and He Lingchuan's previous efforts were wasted!
Is there still a chance to take action?

It cursed the stupid thief who secretly set off the explosion in various ways before asking 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 midway. Now not only Xue Zongwu but also Qi Yunsheng has to be 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 go back now.

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

He didn't hesitate for long before muttering silently: "Continue!"

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

Kill by force?

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

He didn't dare get closer; both of them 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."

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and his plans always have unexpected events and never fail.

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

The master originally planned to separate Xue Zongwu from the others, but now he is left alone!
"A quarter of an hour!" He Lingchuan gave a time limit. Xiaotao Villa was very large, and it would take at least a quarter of an hour for Xue Zongwu's elite soldiers to rush to him from Xiema Pavilion. "If we can't succeed within a quarter of an hour, we will retreat!"

His trip to Mangzhou was time-sensitive and mission-intensive. After killing the 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 still have one last backup location?"

"Letting the Black Armored Army appear in Tianshui City and assassinate the famous general of Yao Country is more than twice as risky as in Mangzhou." He Lingchuan said seriously, "We must fight for this game today no matter what."

He was used to assessing the situation, and although unexpected events occurred, he reassessed the situation in just a few breaths and felt that there might still be a chance.

Dong Rui asked: "Where is the opportunity?"

"not enough people."

"Huh?" The villa was crowded with people.

"The Qi Mansion has had many guests recently, so they must have stepped up security. But I'm afraid they don't have enough manpower to deal with an emergency like this. 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. It is impossible for him not to borrow the power of Xue Zongwu." 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. It is impossible for him to hide behind Qi Yunsheng at this time. Therefore, they will have a division of labor soon!"

These two people can stand on their own.

"And..." His voice was as thin as a mosquito's. "Those who set off the explosion went to great lengths to make such a loud noise. It's impossible that they would just let the target hear the noise and leave it at that. They must have another trick up their sleeve."
