"Okay, then I will listen to sir. I just hope that sir can hurry up and save the ancestor and the young masters from the sea of misery."
After days of worry and fear, now that he finally had hope, Gong Ping was naturally extremely anxious.
At the same time, he also knew that the matter was very important, so he could only place all his hopes on the young lady.
"No matter what, I will rescue you, and I will find a way to treat them as soon as possible. I'm leaving first, and I'll leave this to you."
She patted Gong Ping's shoulder carefully, and the latter nodded heavily, with expectations and worries for her in his eyes.
"Axiu, Bai Su, let's go."
Before leaving, Lin Mengya looked deeply at her great-grandfather and several brothers reluctantly.
The handkerchief in her sleeve was already stained with something Shangguan Qing had sprinkled on the pillow. When the time comes, she will study it carefully and try to find a way to heal her family as soon as possible.
The patrols outside continued, but seemed to be more intensive than before.
They had dozens of seconds before, but now they only had ten seconds at most.
Moreover, they had to spot the opportunity. Not only did they have to rush out of the yard, but they also had to run to a corner dozens of meters away to hide themselves from the patrols.
The three of them were lying behind the door, quietly sticking their heads out, staring intently at the patrolling servants.
Bai Su held out three fingers, indicating that they should take action immediately.
Lin Mengya's heart immediately jumped.
Three, two, one, run!
Bai Su suddenly retracted his fingers and rushed out of the yard like a swift leopard.
And she and Axiu followed closely behind.
She was running with all her strength, her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and her lungs were burning badly.
Finally, the corner is in sight.
But she didn't know whether it was because her speed was a little slow, or because the patrolmen took a few steps closer. Just after she and Axiu ran around the corner, they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind.
"Who's there? Come out!"
The three of them kept walking, Bai Su stretched out his hand, pulled the two of them and ran away.
The sound of chasing footsteps came from behind, and the three of them did not dare to look back, so they could only run quickly.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation before. Taking advantage of them being in front and familiar with the old house, Bai Su led them to the back of the rockery in the garden of the old house.
"Huh... Huh... I can't do it anymore, I can't run anymore!"
As soon as she stopped, Axiu collapsed to the ground, her pretty face flushed, stroking her chest and waving her hands vigorously.
Lin Mengya's situation was not much better. Although her physical strength was not bad, she also lacked exercise on weekdays. After running so suddenly, she could only feel the smell of blood in her mouth, and her eyes turned black.
It seems that I must strengthen my physical fitness in the future.
"Let's hide here for a while. Then we will find an opportunity to sneak into the front yard. As long as we mix with the guests, no one will be able to find out."
Bai Su didn't even take a breath, as if she wasn't the one who grabbed them both and ran away just now.
Lin Mengya nodded. This was indeed a good idea, but it must have alarmed those people just now.
They will definitely also think that they may fish in troubled waters.
"Hush, someone is coming!"
Bai Su whispered, and Axiu and Lin Mengya immediately lowered their voices and clung to the rockery, not daring to alert the pursuers outside.
"This is where people disappeared. Go over there and take a look. The rest, come with me!"
Fortunately, they had not had time to notify the palace butcher in the front yard, and after leaving the guards behind, there were only four or five people chasing them.
In addition, Bai Su was too fast, so they couldn't see clearly where the person disappeared.
Therefore, there are only two people assigned to this garden.
Bai Su stood behind the rockery, staring at the two people with a stern expression.
Their martial arts are not very high. If they are caught by surprise, they can still kill those two people.
It's just that I'm afraid that the other party will notice it.
But now, their safety is the most important thing.
The two people were also extremely alert. After searching around and finding no trace of them, the two exchanged a few words and approached the only place where they could hide people - the rockery.
Axiu was a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed her sleeve.
Lin Mengya patted her hand gently and comfortingly. Now, there was no other better way.
The two men stepped lightly, but drew out the long knives at their waists.
The cold light flickered, carrying an icy murderous intent.
Pushing aside the hanging leaves beside the rockery with one hand, he stepped closer to their hiding place.
Bai Su was already ready to attack. As long as their figures were completely hidden by the leaves, she would rise up and kill the two people in an instant.
But at this moment, a cry was heard outside.
"Don't run! Stop!"
The two people were stunned immediately.
They turned their heads and glanced outside, because they had already heard that it was the voice of their companions.
"Walk!"
The two people turned around and left, while the three people inside the rockery were stunned.
Could it be that besides them, someone else broke in
But there was no time to think too much, now was the best chance to leave.
"Let's leave quickly!"
Lin Mengya took the two of them and immediately left the rockery and hurried towards the front yard.
The Gong family's old house was not small in size, and she intentionally expanded it after she came back, so there were a few more roads leading to the front yard.
The one closest to them was a small road, which was originally a convenient way for the servants to enter and exit, and also led directly to the kitchen.
They had just walked not far away when they saw someone guarding the intersection.
The servants coming and going will be carefully inspected and questioned.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to get through.
"Bai Su, you go back first and don't expose any flaws. Axiu and I will find a way to get through."
Bai Su refused, fearing that they would encounter some danger.
But Lin Mengya pushed the person away.
"You are the one I left here. Now that people are alerted, they will definitely suspect me. If you don't stop, I'm afraid your suspicion will be confirmed. And if you go back, the danger will be greater than ours. More. You have to protect yourself well, you know?"
Bai Su nodded helplessly, knowing that her master was right.
Although he was still worried, he didn't want to cause trouble to his master.
"Axiu, the master will leave it to you."
Axiu nodded, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
Bai Su sighed and quickly disappeared from her sight.
Axiu looked at the servants in front of him who were conducting extremely strict interrogations, and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sister Ya, how should we get there?"
"I'll think of a way to attract their attention in a while. When the time comes, you can take the opportunity to sneak in first."
"How can that be done?" Axiu shook her head like a rattle and refused again and again.
"In this case, you will be in great danger. No, I just promised Sister Bai Su to protect you. I want to distract their attention, and I will do it."
Lin Mengya knew that Axiu and Bai Su did not want her to take risks.
But the matter is in front of them. If they continue to hide here, Gong Tu and Lin Mengwu will definitely order their men to search the house after the banquet is over.
By then, won't you be caught in a trap
"Be obedient and I will find a way to escape. Anyway, this is my home. Am I not as familiar with them as they are?"
A Xiu asked doubtfully.
"You mean, is there some kind of secret passage here?"
She nodded immediately, but Axiu grabbed her arm and insisted.
"If that's the case, then let's go together. Or you can tell me where they are, and I'll lure them away and meet you. I have Xiao Zi on me, and I won't pay attention to ordinary minions at all. Still say , you fooled me!"
Well, it was exposed.
The Gong family was indeed a secret room, but she was sure that even if Lin Mengwu and Gong Tu didn't know the specific location, they would send people to guard it.
Therefore, if she went, it would be almost as good as throwing herself into a trap.
"Sister Ya, we need to walk together. If we are caught, we can take care of each other. In this way, I will distract them later, and you will run out first, and then find a way to save me. In the worst case, I will If they let Xiao Zi out to make a big fuss, they won't get much profit."
Lin Mengya patted this girl on the head with disapproval.
"You, okay, okay, let me think about it again. If we want to leave, let's go together."
Axiu then smiled and stuck out her tongue playfully.
While the two of them were standing in the corner and looking around, Lin Mengya suddenly felt someone approaching.
But at this time, the two of them were unable to avoid or hide.
The two of them immediately acted as if nothing had happened and stood in the corner with their heads lowered.
"Who are you two? Why are you standing here?"
The person who asked the question was a woman dressed as a maid.
Seeing the two of them sneaking around, he immediately became suspicious and asked sternly.
Lin Mengya didn't even raise her head, just pretending to be timid and explaining.
"Sister, we are servants who came with the young master. We accidentally broke into the backyard. Get out now."
The two of them turned around to leave, but the maid said reluctantly.
"Stop! Since I followed your young master to the banquet, I should be waiting in the front yard honestly. What are you doing here in the backyard? No, you are here to steal something!"
Seeing that the maid's yelling was getting louder and louder, it would be bad if it attracted those chasing them.
She can talk about anyone at will, and she can guarantee that the person will not miss anything.
But she was afraid that Gong Tu would detain them secretly.
Although their lives will not be in danger, some things may be exposed in advance.
The life safety of Zengzu and the others could not be guaranteed, and it was feared that the people behind Gong Tu would take the initiative.
