An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

From a high vantage point, Jing Chunxi could clearly see the direction Xiaoman was running towards.

They had already divided the work. Xiaoman was responsible for the passage out of the backyard to prevent someone from suddenly coming from behind, and was also responsible for the location of the stable.

After all, if they were discovered, the most important tool to chase and intercept them would be horses. Jing Chunxi's tip to Xiaoman was that she must let the horses have a good sleep.

July was responsible for the direction coming in from the front yard. Although that direction was the farthest, Jing Chunxi was still able to see where July was hiding, because not long after they dispersed, the bushes over there moved.

There were lanterns hanging in several directions of the yard. In this case, although Jiu Yue was wearing night clothes, her position was relatively central, so she could not be completely invisible.

At this time, Jiu Yue was hiding under a tree not far from several carriages. She was not noticed by others, and only Jing Chunxi could see her from a high place.

They didn't use their hands immediately because they were sure that most of the people hadn't come out yet.

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, there was finally movement.

"The guards may leave now. Everyone, harness your horses and prepare to depart."

Fortunately, they did not move immediately after they were in position. At this time, a loud shout came from the backyard, and then the noise and footsteps of the crowd came forward.

From a distance, I could see the tall man leading the shouting. He was picking his teeth as he walked.

Following behind were a dozen or so people, all in uniform, plain clothes. Clearly, they were the escort. They must have just finished their meal and drinks, but none of them looked drunk, and they walked with considerable energy.

Looking at their neat and square steps and the way they walk with their backs straight, you can tell that they are not soldiers but have undergone training.

No wonder they said it was heavily escorted, even a kid like Ah Heng could see it.

It turned out that they took action in advance, and fortunately they arrived in time.

Jing Chunxi looked in the direction of Xiaoman and the other three, but they didn't move.

In fact, they made a wrong estimate. They thought that the people guarding the carriage were part of the escort, otherwise they would not have put Xiaoman at the back.

Now if Xiaoman is left alone to deal with the horses and these twenty people, she will be a little overwhelmed.

So they probably want to wait a little longer, but they have a good understanding of each other.

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but stand up gently on the tree branch. She stopped staring at those people and wanted to observe her surroundings. She looked around, worried that some unexpected situation might occur.

Sure enough, her intuition was right. Two dark shadows came from the front yard, but they did not take the main road where July was ambushing. Instead, they came from the right side of the wall where they climbed over, and came from the corner gate at the edge. There should be another corridor and winding path there.

Jing Chunxi watched them coming towards him without blinking. As they approached, he found that they were obviously drunk. They walked without stumbling, but their voices were a little lisp.

Their attire didn't resemble that of a soldier's civilian clothes, nor did it resemble that of a yamen runner. As the two approached, almost to the foot of the tree, Jing Chunxi realized something was amiss and quickly pulled out his medicine bag.

She thought to herself, it seems that she is the only one who can deal with these two people.

"Lord Chen, please stay. I will deliver the letter to the Marquis and the Crown Prince as soon as possible. The Grand Tutor and the Crown Prince will definitely read it as soon as possible." The speaker was wearing a dark black robe and was very tall.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ling!" The two men bowed to each other, and the light from the lantern hanging on the side of the tree hit the man named Ling directly on the face.

"Shen Rui!"

Jing Chunxi almost exclaimed in surprise. This was one of the counselors employed by the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion. Although she had not seen him often, she still knew him. The last time she saw him was at least two years ago.

All he knew was that this man was a juren, but for some unknown reason he did not become an official. However, judging by what Chu Lingfeng and Chu Xuan had done, Jing Chunxi felt that this strategist was not valued in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and was afraid that he had never come up with any good plans.

But since he is here today and mentioned the Marquis and the Prince, he must still be working hard for the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Jing Chunxi didn't even think twice and directly sprinkled the drug in. Just as he was waiting for the two to fall, he looked in the direction of Xiao Man and the other three, but there was no sign of them.

The horses all fell, and none of the soldiers in plain clothes moved out of the place where the horses were tied, and they all fell to the ground, some lying flat on their stomachs, and some lying with their legs spread out and their faces facing upwards.

Even the six yamen runners who were originally guarding the carriage did not escape. They had not drunk enough and might have wanted to go to the backyard to continue drinking. But who would have thought that after walking only a few dozen steps, they were lumped together with the twenty people who came out, and two or three of them were even stacked on top of each other.

The scene is really - beautiful!

"Miss, we are ready to retreat." Xiaoman was so fast that she rushed under the tree without anyone noticing.

But as soon as he said this, he suddenly saw two people fall down in front of him with a "thump". He was so scared that he jumped up the tree.

"You are so impulsive and not on guard enough. I will tell the master when I get back and you should be prepared to be punished." Jing Chunxi scolded him directly without any politeness.

She really felt that her master had misjudged the people. If these two were secret guards or bodyguards, and she had not drugged them, Xiao Man would have been tricked. It would have been a waste of her master's teaching for so long, but she was not even as good as her.

"Miss, I was wrong. I have been a little arrogant recently. Please punish me." Xiaoman jumped down again and knelt down and kowtowed under the tree.
