The culprit, Tang: ...

I'm sorry, this is her fault!

It seems they really severed the Prime Minister's mansion's lifeline last time, otherwise they wouldn't be ripping off the working class like this!

Deducting three or four months' salary directly—if a modern person encountered a boss like that, they'd probably just throw themselves in the toilet with a sack over their head.

When the young guard saw that Tang Yue was silent, he thought that his information was correct, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"So, chivalrous hero, how was my information?"

Tang Yue glanced at him meaningfully, and said in a flat tone, "Not bad."

"Then can you let me leave?"

"Okay, but you'll have to sleep here for a while."

She slapped the young guard unconscious, covered him with a blanket, and left.

She felt she still had to tie up the head guard; since she was already tied up, she didn't mind having a couple more.

So she jumped onto the roof again, waiting for the next patrol to arrive.

Soon, someone arrived. After Tang Yue successfully armed herself, she kidnapped their guard captain in front of the patrol team.

Captain of the Guard: ...

Other guards: ...

Are these petty thieves really gotten this brazen now?

He started committing violence in front of so many people?!

The first to react was the captain of the guards, whose mouth was being covered.

Whether it was due to the petty thief's carelessness or lack of experience, he actually thought he could kidnap him by simply covering his mouth; it was utterly delusional.

The captain of the guards suddenly twisted his arm and grabbed Tang Yue's wrist, using the force to try to break free from Tang Yue's control.

Tang Yue was startled, but remained calm. She lightly touched the roof tile with her toes, using the force to float up as lightly as a willow catkin, skillfully avoiding the captain of the guards' counterattack.

Immediately, she drew a short blade from her waist, its cold light flashing, and pressed it against the guard captain's neck, laughing, "Move again, and your head will be gone, Captain."

The captain of the guards froze, his movements halting, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

The guards below, who had been stunned, finally reacted and drew their weapons, surrounding the eaves and shouting, "You audacious thief, put down our captain and surrender!"

Tang Yue remained unmoved, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "If you take another step forward, I'll kill him right now~"

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, and the atmosphere was tense.

Just then, a night breeze blew by, lifting the hem of Tang Yue's dress.

The captain of the guard twitched his nose, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes; the smell was somewhat familiar.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Who are you?"

Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously tightened her grip, her tone becoming even more teasing: "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I need to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll let you go. If you can't, I'll scratch your beautiful little face."

She slapped the captain of the guards' face several times with the short blade. The cold texture made the captain's skin tighten, and he temporarily forgot the faint taste he had just experienced.

He looked at Tang Yue, who was almost a head shorter than him, and said in a deep voice, "Speak, what question do you want to ask?"

"Captain, you can't let her threaten you. I just sent out a distress signal, and she'll be arrested soon."

The guards below, who dared not make a move, immediately shouted when they heard that their captain was about to compromise.

However, the captain of the guards ignored him completely, and even Tang Yue ignored him.

"I just want to ask, what's the best dish in your household?"

Captain of the Guard: ...

What a bizarre question!

At a time like this, shouldn't we be asking about confidential matters or something?

The captain of the guards, his face stiff, said, "I don't know."

"Oh."

"So what's your favorite dish?"

"do not know."

"So what kind of girl do you like?"

Captain of the Guard: ...

The veins on his forehead were bulging. "Why are you asking these questions? What's it to you?"

Tang Yue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm just curious. Anyway, your reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and I'm just killing time. Let's chat and get to know each other better."

Captain of the Guard: ...Speechless. He opened the door to speechlessness.

"What on earth are you here for?"

Tang Yue smiled and said, "It's nothing. I really just came here to broaden my horizons. By the way, is the Prime Minister's old age making him incompetent? Why hasn't he arrived yet? It's been so long."

Her attitude was so relaxed, as if she were at home. The captain of the guard opened his mouth, then said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"

You know, once the Prime Minister arrives, she will definitely not be able to leave. At that time, she may not die, but she will definitely suffer a fate worse than death.

"Of course I'm scared! Who isn't afraid of death? But if I've seen the world, then dying will be worthwhile!"

Tang Yue held a dagger in her hand, her eyebrows curved in a smile. The captain of the guards could not see anything else in her eyes except pleasure.

He fell silent for a moment, and neither of them spoke again. They remained in this stalemate for two minutes before reinforcements arrived.

Even though the kidnapper, Tang, was mentally prepared, he didn't expect such a large group of people to come.

They were swarming around her, like a swarm of ants, triggering her trypophobia.

But... it seems that old scoundrel Lin didn't come?
