Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Chapter 85: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations

Jiang Huaixu slowly stopped, his breath a little heavy.

Zhangzhou City had so many casualties and was flooded, so it was most vulnerable to the outbreak of plague. She had to take precautions.

She took out a medical mask from the space, covered it with a black cloth, and after a brief disinfection, she continued walking forward.

After climbing over the broken brick wall, Jiang Huaixu was about to jump off when he suddenly heard someone moaning nearby.

Soon the picture in her mind scanned to the location of the man, who seemed to be a soldier. With just one glance, she was sure that the man would not survive long even if he was rescued.

She jumped off the wall and walked towards the city without looking back.

Perhaps it was late at night, but Jiang Huaixu didn't see a single person along the way. A wild cat hurriedly passed by the street next to it and disappeared in an instant.

Is Zhangzhou City abandoned? If a foreign enemy comes to attack us in this situation, we will be able to defeat him easily. Jiang Huaixu thought about it in his heart.

Continuing to walk along the main street, she scanned the screen and saw an old man sitting alone in his yard, his back desolate and lonely, as lifeless as a dead tree.

She turned around and stood at the door of this house.

"Bang bang bang."

The knocking on the door was soft and rhythmic.

Through the door, Jiang Huaixu saw the old man stunned at first, then staring at the door blankly, and finally burst into a smile. Tears seemed to fall from the corners of her eyes. She stood up in a hurry and opened the door.

"Grandma, has your family eaten? I'm so hungry..." Jiang Huaixu's voice became thin and weak without knowing what method he used.

The old man seemed to have poor eyesight, and it took him a long time to see Jiang Huaixu, who almost blended into the night.

The moment he saw Jiang Huaixu clearly, his wrinkled face like tree bark became calm again.

"Hungry?" Her voice was hoarse, and she didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word. She took a long time to respond before slowly saying, "Come in."

Jiang Huaixu squeezed in through the crack in the door and followed the old man, who was trembling every step of the way, walking slowly.

The house on the east side of the old man's house collapsed completely. For some reason, she was the only one in the whole house. She didn't know whether she had no family members or was not at home.

Taking the cake from the old man, Jiang Huaixu took two bites before looking at the old man who sat back under the tree.

"Grandma, why don't you sleep?" she asked.

It took a long time before she heard the old man say, "...Can't sleep."

There was another long silence after that. Just when Jiang Huaixu thought she wouldn't speak again, the old man asked in a cramped voice: "Where do you live? Have you ever seen a tall young man? He also brought A little girl with a bun..."

"Who are they to you?"

"It's my son and my granddaughter." An almost inaudible smile appeared on the old man's face. "My son is a promising man, but his life is not very good. His father passed away early, and his wife had to give birth to a child. Yue'er's blood collapsed. Originally, I thought about finding someone to meet him during the Chinese New Year, but he refused. He said that he wanted to raise little Yue'er..."

"Two days ago, he said he would take Xiaoyue'er to see Xiaoyue'er's grandparents. Why hasn't he come back for two days..."

Seeing him repeating these last words, Jiang Huaixu understood why the old man had been sitting in the yard without sleeping.

"Grandma, they must have been delayed on the way. They will come back when the matter is settled."

The old man's voice that had been murmuring suddenly stopped, "Really, really?"

"As long as you are waiting at home, my uncle and sister will be fine."

The old man didn't know whether he believed it or not. He kept nodding his head and spoke vaguely.

"Grandma, do you know where Prince Duan's Mansion is? My mother is a servant of Prince Duan's Mansion, and I'm here to find her."

"I know, I know." The old man's mind seemed to be clearer, "Just in the north of the city, that coward Prince Duan no longer cares about the people of our city and ran away, ran away!"

Jiang Huaixu stood up and thanked the old man.

"Grandma, please wait a moment and don't run around. Otherwise, my uncle and sister will be sad if they can't find you when they come back."

"Yeah." The old man responded, but he still sat stubbornly where he was.

Jiang Huaixu sighed and walked away. When she walked behind the old man, she raised her hand and slashed lightly on the back of the old man's neck. The old man immediately became confused.

Catching the old man's limp body, she moved the old man into the house on the west side and left quietly.

After walking out of the old man's house, Jiang Huaixu stopped lingering and ran non-stop towards the north of the city.

The miserable conditions along the way can hardly be described as hell on earth.

[Host, the people here are so rich. 】

[Our target is the palace, which is the richest in the entire Zhangzhou city. Evil people have their own evil people. I am that evil person, and I am only targeting the evil person Duan Wang. 】

After saying these words, Jiang Huaixu speeded up again. In the thick night, a short and slender figure flew across the streets extending in all directions like a ghost, and the sound of footsteps was almost inaudible.

Soon, Jiang Huaixu found the north of the city. Prince Duan's Mansion occupies a very large area, almost occupying most of the north of the city. The most important thing is that the Prince's Mansion is more earthquake-resistant than other houses. Only a small part collapsed in the earthquake. There are still some collapsed walls on the outside. It is guarded by dedicated personnel, so it can be easily scanned.

She came to the base of the wall of a large house next to Prince Duan's Mansion. Her whole body was motionless, as if she had merged with the wall. In fact, the light screen in front of her was showing all the routes and defense layout of Prince Duan's Mansion bit by bit.

However, after a moment Jiang Huaixu planned an excellent infiltration path and stopped staying.

Walking close to the wall to the outside of a relatively weakly defended wall, climbing over the wall was really child's play for her. She could run, climb over the wall, and land in one go.

‘Click’.

The sound of branches breaking was particularly loud in the silent night. Jiang Huaixu's heart beat like a drum and he stood there without daring to move.

After making sure no one was coming, she started to move slightly.

This seems to be the garden of Prince Duan's Mansion. The vegetation is extremely lush and there are not many guards.

Fu Tuan was as happy as a mouse falling into a rice vat, [Host, there are so many unusual plants here! Hurry, hurry, collect quickly! 】

Jiang Huaixu flipped through the collectible items that appeared on the light screen, including Albizia julibrissin, hibiscus, amaryllis, peony... and a rare item - orchid.

Whether there is no market for orchids in ancient or modern times, the orchids in Prince Duan's Mansion must be worth thousands of gold, so you can't miss them.

Carefully concealing his figure, Jiang Huaixu was like a hard-working bee in the huge garden. Everywhere he passed, something was missing.

Just when the garden was about to be touched by her, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded.

"Be careful with your movements! If these objects are bumped, the prince will kill you!"

This sound? Eunuch?

In the scanned picture, on the path separated from Jiang Huaixu by a wall, a group of people, led by a stooped man, hurried away toward the northeast.

Those boxes contained rare treasures.

In the middle of the night, I'm afraid I'm doing some shady deal. Originally, she was worried that King Duan would empty out all her family assets and leave, but now it seems that there is room for her to flourish.

Seeing that she had collected almost everything in the garden, Jiang Huaixu followed without thinking.

At this time Fu Tuan asked: [Host, do you need to be invisible? 】
