Harem Daily Life

Chapter 44 Catching a turtle in a urn

The bald boss cleared his throat, said "Amitabha", and began to recite scriptures, glancing at Tao Yanyan from time to time, with a gleam in his eyes.

Tao Yanyan resisted the urge to vomit, forced a smile, and sat in front of him devoutly to listen to him chanting.

The few temporary monks beside him soon felt drowsy. They thought it might be because they heard the boss chanting, which made them sleepy. So they didn't feel anything was wrong. In order to refresh themselves, they picked up the tea poured by the beauty and drank it all.

The bald boss was also getting restless from reciting this. It was really uncomfortable to be in front of a beauty but only be able to look at her but not eat her. After reciting this for a while, he felt dry mouth and a little swollen in the head.

Tao Yanyan looked at him and thought that the poison from the incense he had inhaled was about to take effect, but perhaps his skills were too strong to be knocked down. Her eyes darkened and she raised her hand to gently remove her veil.

A stunningly beautiful face immediately caught the bald boss's eyes, and he was so excited that he forgot to recite the scriptures.

Tao Yanyan picked up the teacup and handed it over: "Master, you must be thirsty from chanting sutras. Why don't you have a cup of tea first?" This was good tea with some ingredients added to it. It would be a waste if she didn't drink it!

The peerless beauty personally serves tea, her slender hands holding the green teacup, she looks so beautiful no matter how you look at her.

The bald boss took it with both hands, and his dark and rough fingers deliberately stroked Tao Yanyan's fair and tender hands. Tao Yanyan endured the discomfort and handed the teacup steadily to the bandit, then withdrew his hand and wiped it lightly with a brocade handkerchief without leaving any trace.

The bald boss had never touched such soft and white hands. The women who were abducted to the mountain before seemed okay at first, but compared with the beauty in front of him, there was a gap between heaven and earth, and there was an eight hundred Miss Wang gap in between.

The boss's eyes were glued to Tao Yanyan. He didn't even want to blink while drinking tea and drank the whole cup of tea in one breath.

Watching him drink a cup of tea, Tao Yanyan's smile became even brighter, and the boss was more and more charmed.

"Master, do you want to recite more scriptures?" Tao Yanyan asked, observing the tiredness on the faces of several people.

"Read, read." The boss's tongue was a little bit stiff, and he continued to read with some rationality.

But soon, the temporary monks around him couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep. Although the boss felt a little surprised, he didn't figure out what was wrong. As he was chanting, he closed his eyes and fell down.

Tao Yanyan stood up in a second, and the guards rushed forward and tied up several people.

Shunzi, who had been standing aside and watching for a long time, staggered and knelt down with weak knees: "Miss, please spare me, please spare me, these bandits forced me to report to them. If I didn't give them the news, they would have robbed my wife and taken her up the mountain. Please spare me, I was just a messenger, I didn't participate in the robbery!"

Tao Yanyan originally didn't know that the shop assistant was the accomplice, but his self-exposure allowed Tao Yanyan to catch him.

Two guards stepped forward and tied up the shop assistant Shunzi.

The boss, who was standing behind the counter and watching the excitement, was trembling. When he saw Tao Yanyan looking at him, he knelt down hurriedly and said, "Miss, please spare me. I don't know anything. I'm just an innkeeper. I know nothing about Shunzi's affairs. Please spare me, young lady!"

He just heard that all the monks had fallen down. These monks were bandits. He almost fainted!

Tao Yanyan said, "Whether you have any relationship with them or not, we will know after we interrogate them. But your buddy can't get away. Tie them up and throw them in the woodshed. Send someone to pass the message to General Qi and tell him that we have successfully caught the turtle in the jar."

Just as he finished speaking, the guard who came to report the news limped in, dragging one leg: "Ah? You have all caught the man!"

He was not familiar with the mountain road and ended up falling and spraining his foot, otherwise he would have arrived earlier.

Tao Yanyan sent someone to ask Imperial Physician Liu to come down to help, and then he heard the messenger say, "General Qi discovered that these bandits had come down the mountain disguised as monks, so he ordered me to come and report the news. Unfortunately, I fell on the road and sprained my ankle. I didn't expect that when I arrived at the store, the bandits had already been arrested."

I don’t know how the weak little concubine in front of me did it, but she managed to capture five burly bandits without any help.

"Where is General Qi? Is he still monitoring on the mountain?" Tao Yanyan asked.

"Yes, General Qi said that he planned to go in at night and drug everyone, and then rush in to harvest their heads after they were drugged." Perhaps he felt that the last sentence was too bloody to say in front of a weak little concubine, so he immediately changed his words: "No, it's just to arrest people, arrest people, hehe."

Tao Yanyan saw his embarrassment and said nothing. After Doctor Liu healed his wounds, he said, "General Qi, it is a little difficult to suppress the bandits at this time, but we have already captured these people. If they don't go back soon, I'm afraid the bandits in the mountains will get the news and run away, which will make it even more difficult to catch them. How about this, call the head of the guards, I have something to say."

A guard went to invite Commander Wang, and he arrived soon after.

He was the commander who went to the village to buy food and pickle meat. His surname was Wang. When he saw Tao Yanyan, he bowed first and asked, "Master Tao, do you have anything to tell me?"

Tao Yanyan nodded and said, "Count the people, leave five of them to guard here, and take the rest to the mountain to support General Qi."

Commander Wang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. It was not that he did not want to fight the bandits and make meritorious service, but protecting Tao Cairen was the most important task he had this time.

"Tao Cairen, those five bandits have not been dealt with yet. It would be terrible if they escape. Bandits don't care about their lives. Either deal with them now, or leave more people to protect you. Otherwise, I dare not leave you alone."

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment, then looked at Doctor Liu and said, "Doctor Liu, I wonder how long it will take for the poison to cure them? Can you increase the severity of the poison so that they can wake up tomorrow?"

Tao Yanyan didn't want to kill anyone with her own hands. She couldn't do such a thing. She had to save the lives of those five people and let Qi Yizheng do it.

"They will wake up in two hours at most. I will give them some medicine and make sure they wake up by noon tomorrow."

Tao Yanyan was very satisfied and asked Doctor Liu to do it immediately.

Seeing that there was no need to worry, Commander Wang said, "Then I will leave the five with the best martial arts skills to the talented people, and I will lead the people to provide support."

"Okay, be careful. I'll be waiting for you at the inn when you return triumphantly!"

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Tao Yanyan stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of Black Wind Mountain, and was reluctant to rest.

In Youzhou City, He Linzhang was also standing in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside, and he had not rested for a long time.

Zhang Fuhai put a thin cloak on the emperor and said, "It is late at night. I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health and rest early."

He Linzhang said after a long while, "Prince Yong may not arrive until tomorrow night. Will she be too scared to sleep tonight?"
