It was already five o'clock in the afternoon after Fan Yujing inspected Yilan Garden, and he was very satisfied with the results of the inspection.
The patrolling guards were not tired because it was late at night, and the hidden stakes were not relaxed because of the uneventful past few days.
When he returned to the woodshed, he put the heavy sword within reach, then sat down and made himself a pot of strong tea.
The woodshed was very simple, and the tables, chairs and beds inside were temporarily moved in, but Fan Zijing didn't care at all.
The reason why he wanted to live in the woodshed was because it faced the room where You Gui was imprisoned, with only a patio in between, so no matter what happened across the way, he could get there as soon as possible.
Although Fan Zijing was drinking tea with his head down, he was always paying attention to what was going on around him, because when Her Royal Highness the Princess handed him this job, she told him that Yougui belonged to a very mysterious organization and he also knew many secrets, so This organization will definitely find ways to sneak in, either to save him or to kill him.
Of course he understood what Her Royal Highness the Princess meant, and wanted to use You Gui as bait. No matter whether the other party came to save him or kill him, he would catch them all.
Fan Yujing originally thought this matter was very simple, especially when he saw You Gui, he thought it was something that could be easily grasped.
Because he knew that the older a person gets, the more brittle his bones become and the more he cherishes his life, so Fan Yujing thought that it would take less than a day to pry open You Gui's mouth.
But now it seems that this matter is far less optimistic than he imagined.
Even an iron-clad man could not survive three days in their hands. Fan Yujing really couldn't figure out what was supporting You Gui. Fan Yujing has seen people who are not afraid of death, but this is the first time he has seen someone like You Gui.
At this time, he thought of You Gui's eyes again. When he thought of You Gui's eyes, he couldn't help but frown.
There was no fear, fear, or panic in You Gui's eyes, but instead showed calmness, contempt, and pity.
Although Fan Yujing had never heard of this mysterious organization, he could see from You Gui how terrifying this organization was. Being able to turn a very ordinary person into a warrior, even stronger than a warrior, is not something that anyone can do.
While Fan Yujing was still deep in thought, his expression suddenly changed because he heard a gong sound.
In the silent night, the rapid sound of the gong seemed extremely sharp and harsh, which also meant that something urgent had happened.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of people's voices came from the northwest, including the faint sound of horses neighing. Although Fan Yujing couldn't hear clearly what those people were shouting, it was definitely not a good thing.
However, he did not move, his expression remained calm, and his hand holding the tea cup remained steady. The rapid and harsh sound of the gong and the people's shouts seemed to him to be the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo.
Not long after, a guard hurriedly came to the door. When he saw Fan Yujing, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "I'm telling you, your lord, the stables in the northwest corner were flooded for no reason. Now the people from the fifth team are taking the eunuchs and maids to put out the fire and evacuate the frightened people." horses."
"Did you notice anything unusual in that direction before the water broke out?"
The guard immediately replied: "The three teams had just inspected before the water leaked, and found nothing unusual, and the secret sentry did not find anyone sneaking in and setting fire."
Fan Yujing said calmly: "Just because no one sneaks in, it doesn't mean that the other party can't set fire to the stable."
"My lord, do you suspect that the other party threw a fire starter into the stable, which caused the stable to flood?"
Fan Yujing was about to speak when another sharp whistle suddenly came from the west. Upon hearing this, the guard's expression became serious. He couldn't help but said: "Someone broke in, and he is a master."
Only in critical situations would the guards blow their whistles and call for support. And the person who can make the guards whistle must be a master.
Fan Yujing remains as stable as Mount Tai because he believes in his men.
Moreover, he also believed that this was the enemy's move to attack in the east and attack in the west. Whether the stable was flooded or the opponent's forced invasion from the west was just to divert their attention.
As long as their target is You Gui, he will be indifferent no matter what happens elsewhere, and is ready to wait here.
He waved his hand, and the guard immediately retreated and ran to the west.
After the guards left, Fan Yujing put down his tea cup and placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword. He was listening carefully to the movements around him, but now except for the sounds of fighting in the southwest, there was no other movement.
The sound of fighting became further and further away, and eventually all the sounds disappeared completely, and Yilan fell into silence again.
At this time, Fan Yujing's expression became solemn, and the guard appeared in front of the door again and reported again: "Sir, two people broke in from the west just now, but they escaped."
Fan Yujing's face darkened: "Did they escape?"
"Those two people are both masters, and after they broke in, they only wandered around the Buddhist hall and did not enter our encirclement. I think these two people broke in deliberately to attract our attention."
"Just when we were about to surround them, they seemed to be alert, turned around and fled outside. However, the third team serving as bait could not stop them at all. One brother was injured by the two thieves. Fortunately, the injury was not serious."
"Can't you delay them even with four against two?"
The guard lowered his head and said: "According to Hong Cheng, those two people have extremely high swordsmanship. One person's swordsmanship is great, while the other's swordsmanship is very unpredictable. When these two people join forces, the four of them are indeed Can’t stay.”
Fan Yujing nodded lightly: "Go and tell them that everyone should stick to their posts and not relax at all."
The guards took the order and left, and Fan Yujing fell into silence again.
At noon the next day, Su Shi had just seen off Han Lin, the son of the Han family, and was about to lie down on the couch and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
The weather has become hotter, and Su Shi has become even more lazy. He held the glass and shook it gently. The ice cubes in the water collided with the walls of the glass, making a crisp and sweet sound, which also brought warmth to the hot weather. A hint of coolness.
Su Shi picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then showed a satisfied expression.
However, he did not maintain this expression for long, because Lin Mo had already walked over in a hurry.
Su Shi put down the cup regretfully, and then looked at him dissatisfied.
Lin Mo turned a blind eye and walked up to him and said, "The princess is here, and judging from the situation, she seems to be in a bad mood."
Su Shi sighed: "In the study?"
Lin Mo nodded and Su Shi said, "Go and prepare an ice drink. In such a hot weather, everyone seems to be getting more angry."
Su Shi walked into the study and knew something was wrong as soon as she saw Zhou Jin's expression, because in such a hot weather, her face was as cold as the sky.
And the first words she said when she saw Su Shi made Su Shi stunned.
"Yougui is dead."
