"Ah..." Xiao Linzi exclaimed, a look of horror appeared on his face, and his hand loosened, and the small bottle fell from his hand. Senior Sister Mu raised her jade foot, hooked the small bottle with the tip of her shoe and gently lifted it. Her long skirt swayed and the small bottle fell into her hand. "Miss, please spare my life! Xiao Linzi is loyal and would not dare to make any mistake. Please let me go!" Xiao Linzi screamed in panic and immediately prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing like crazy. If the lady wasn't a woman, he would have pounced on her and hugged her thighs. "What are you afraid of? I haven't finished my words yet. This medicine is precious and it's not your turn to take it yet." Senior Sister Mu said with a look of disappointment. "His courage is comparable to that of Junior Brother Yi." She sighed inwardly. Now she was somewhat doubtful whether it was appropriate to hand over the key to her plan to this little Linzi. Xiao Linzi's expression relaxed, he laughed, and shouted repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it would be such a waste if the precious medicine was given to a slave!" "Stand up." Senior Sister Mu smiled slightly: "My other fellow disciples will also be traveling with us this time. We will look for an opportunity along the way, and you can secretly poison their food. I will give you a hint then." "Ah..." Xiao Linzi was stunned and stood there in a daze as soon as he stood up.
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, after the task is accomplished, I will reward you with a large sum of money, free you from slavery, and find you a wife with a thick waist and a big butt." Senior Sister Mu raised her almond-shaped lips slightly, throwing out a huge temptation. Sure enough, Xiao Linzi was stunned for a moment, then a greedy light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed. "Are you willing?" Senior Sister Mu stopped talking nonsense, her eyes flashed like cold stars, shooting coldly at the other person. Noticing this gaze, Xiao Linzi dared not disobey, and quickly took the small bottle again, and promised: "Xiao Linzi is willing to go through fire and water for you, young lady." "It's just that." Xiao Linzi looked at the small bottle in his hand, feeling a little guilty. He raised his head and looked at Senior Sister Mu eagerly. "Miss, if you gentlemen check before eating, I will die." Senior Sister Mu smiled softly: "If you can think of it, how can I not think of it? This medicine is colorless and tasteless, and it cannot be detected by silver needles. Otherwise, how can it be called precious." Upon hearing this, Xiao Linzi's eyes gradually became firm, and he walked out of the room with a hunched back. The setting sun sinks to the west, and the afterglow is gradually swallowed up by the ink color. A carriage drove slowly and stopped in front of the gate of Yi Mansion. Yi Tianlin and his wife got off the carriage and walked into the Yi Mansion, and then the coachman drove away. "Mom, you're back!" As soon as the two entered the door, Yi Ling'er ran out like a happy deer and threw herself into her mother's arms. She quickly reported it again: "Brother doesn't even play with Ling'er!" Mother Yi picked her up and kissed her hard on the cheek: "Mom will help you beat him later." Yi Tianlin, who was standing next to him, pinched his daughter's cheek unhappily and said, "You only remember your mother, but not your father?" "Of course Ling'er remembers daddy." Yi Ling'er was very unhappy. "Dad, Mom, Xiaoyue has prepared dinner." Yi Han also came out. "Hmm..." Yi Tianlin responded, and the family went into the room to eat together. After dinner, Yi Han pulled his father Yi Tianlin to the back room for a secret talk.
"Han'er, what are you doing? You're so mysterious that I'm a little confused." Yi Tianlin couldn't help but be curious. Yi Han closed the door, and in the dim candlelight, his expression was solemn: "Dad, what I am about to tell you is a matter of life and death. It is very important. You must listen carefully." Yi Tianlin uttered a light "eh", a little surprised, and finally nodded: "Go ahead." Seeing that his father had entered the state, Yi Han continued: "The child will leave town tomorrow morning and go to a faraway place to do something that may take as long as five years, or even longer." "If I haven't come back before the first two months of five years, your lives will be in danger, and the Imperial Master Situ Yun will definitely kill you." When Yi Tianlin heard this, he stood up suddenly, surprised and suspicious: "Han'er, what's going on? Did you make a mistake? Don't scare Dad!" Yi Han was not surprised at all seeing his father's reaction. Yi Han has always portrayed himself as a coward, even in front of his family. There was a huge contrast at this moment, and what was said was shocking enough, so it was understandable that his father was surprised. Yi Han's tone became more serious: "Dad, this is a matter of life and death. I dare not say anything nonsense. I am afraid that mother cannot accept it. That's why I told you alone. Don't tell mother about this for now." "The National Master is your master. We are where we are today thanks to him. How could he harm us?" Yi Tianlin still looked shocked. Yi Han's tone remained unchanged: "Situ Yun appears to be kind and friendly on the surface, but he is actually vicious and cruel. Taking the child as his disciple is a conspiracy of his. We are in danger step by step." Yi Tianlin narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Han deeply. After a while, he sat down again and asked, "So what should we do?" Yi Han said: "During the time I'm away, you should do what you need to do as usual, and don't let anything out of the ordinary happen." "My fellow disciples are all the same as me, so when you meet their parents, you must keep your expression low." Seeing his father nod, Yi Han told him about the tunnel and handed the map to his father. After listening to Yi Han, Yi Tianlin put away the blueprint and asked worriedly: "Then what are you doing out of the city? Is it dangerous? Why don't you go with us?" Yi Han explained: "I have to do something. I won't go with you. There's no danger. I'll come find you later." "Of course, this is just a fallback plan. If I come back two months before five years from now, everything will be peaceful again, and you won't have to run for your lives." Judging from previous investigations, Situ Yun would not touch his family within five years. That's why Yi Han came up with this new plan, letting his family act accordingly when the five-year period is almost up. After all, if I run away now, not only will my family's safety be difficult to guarantee, but I will also be in great danger. Yi Tianlin touched his nose, sorted out Yi Han's words, and asked, "Then Xiaoyue can't be brought along too?"
"No, Xiaoyue, and your groom are all Situ Yun's spies, so we let you act at night. As for Xiaoyue, when the time comes you will..." Yi Han didn't finish his words, but just stretched out his hand and stroked his neck. Yi Tianlin's expression froze and he was shocked. It’s not only because of Xiaoyue’s identity, but also because of the movements made by Yi Han. He couldn't accept the suggestion of killing someone, and after a long while he sighed: "Well, I can just drug Xiaoyue to faint." He looked at Yi Han deeply again. After a moment, he asked again: "What about the families of your fellow disciples? Have they made plans for retreat? Should we call them along when the time comes?" "Don't reveal it to anyone, and don't bring anyone along." Yi Han emphasized every word. "Alas." Yi Tianlin sighed slightly, "Dad knows." Suddenly his eyes flickered, and he seemed to have thought of something: "It took a lot of people to dig the tunnel, right?" Yi Han nodded and told the truth: "A lot of people were indeed mobilized, but they dug in secret and no one found out." Yi Tianlin asked again: "Will those who dug the tunnel know about this?" Yi Han naturally knew that his father was worried that the people who dug the tunnel would leak the information. Yi Han deliberately lowered his voice and hinted, "No... they won't know... they will never know." Yi Tianlin opened his mouth slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He opened his mouth to ask something, but hesitated.
