"Okay, I'll listen to you. I just hope that you can save the Ancestor and the young masters as soon as possible. "
He had been living in fear for the past few days. Now that there was finally hope, Gong Ping was naturally extremely anxious.
At the same time, he knew that it was a matter of great importance, so he could only pin all his hopes on Lin Mengya.
"No matter what, I'll save you. I'll find a way to cure them as soon as possible. I'm leaving now. Please take care of this place. "
She patted Gong Ping's shoulder solemnly. Gong Ping nodded heavily. His eyes were still full of expectation and worry for her.
"Xiu, Baisu, let's go."
Before leaving, Lin Mengya took a deep look at her great-grandfather and brothers.
The handkerchief in her sleeve had been stained with some of the stuff that Shangguan Qing had spilled on the pillow. She would study it carefully and try to find a way to cure her family as soon as possible.
The patrolling outside was still going on, but it seemed to be more intensive than before.
Previously, they had dozens of seconds, but now they only had ten seconds at most.
Moreover, they had to seize the opportunity to not only rush out of the courtyard, but also run to a corner dozens of meters away. Only in this way could they hide themselves from the patrolling people.
The three of them lay behind the door, quietly poked their heads out, and stared at the patrolling servants.
Baisu stretched out three fingers, indicating that they were going to act immediately.
Lin Mengya's heart was in her throat.
Three, two, one, run!
Baisu suddenly withdrew her fingers and rushed out of the courtyard like a swift leopard.
She and Xiu followed closely behind them.
She ran with all her strength. She ran with all her might. Her breathing became more and more difficult as her lungs burned.
Finally, the corner was in front of them.
However, Lin Mengya didn't know if it was because she was a little slow or those patrolling people walked a few steps faster. Just when she and Xiu ran into the corner, they suddenly heard a loud shout from behind.
"Who's there? Come out! "
The three of them didn't stop running. Baisu stretched out her hands and pulled them to run away.
Behind them came the sound of chasing footsteps. The three of them didn't dare to look back and could only run quickly.
Fortunately, Baisu had foreseen this situation before. Taking advantage of the fact that they were in front and were familiar with the old house, Baisu led them to the back of the rockery in the garden of the old house.
I can't, I can't run anymore! "
As soon as they stopped, Xiu collapsed to the ground. Her pretty face was flushed. She touched her chest and waved her hands vigorously.
Lin Mengya's condition was not much better. Although her physical strength was not bad, she lacked exercise. After running so suddenly, she could only taste blood in her mouth, and her vision darkened.
It seemed that he had to strengthen his physical fitness in the future.
"Let's hide here for a while and find a chance to sneak into the front yard. As long as we mingle with the guests, no one will be able to find us."
Baisu did not even breathe heavily, as if she was not the one who grabbed them and ran away.
Lin Mengya nodded. This was indeed a good idea, but it must have alarmed those people just now.
They would definitely think that he might be able to fish in troubled waters.
"Shh, someone is coming!"
Baisu said in a low voice. Xiu and Lin Mengya immediately lowered their voices and stuck close to the rockery, not daring to alarm the pursuers outside.
"They disappeared here. You go over there and have a look. The rest of you, follow me!"
Fortunately, they didn't have time to inform Gong Tu in the front yard. After leaving the guards behind, there were only four or five people chasing them.
In addition, Baisu was too fast, so they didn't see clearly where they disappeared to.
Therefore, there were only two people assigned to this garden.
Baisu stood behind the rockery and stared at the two people coldly.
Their martial arts skills were not high, but if they caught them off guard, they could still kill the two of them.
But they were afraid that they would be detected.
But now, their safety was the most important thing.
The two men were also extremely vigilant. After searching for a while and finding no trace of them, the two of them exchanged a few words and approached the only place where they could hide — the fake mountain.
Xiu was a little nervous and subconsciously grabbed Lin Mengya's sleeve.
Lin Mengya gently patted her hand to comfort her. Now, there was no better way.
The two people lightened their steps, but they drew out the long sabers at their waists.
Cold light flashed, with cold killing intent.
With one hand, they pushed away the hanging leaves beside the rockery and approached their hiding place step by step.
Baisu was ready to strike. As soon as their figures completely entered the cover of the leaves, she would explode and instantly kill the two men.
But at this moment, they heard a shout from outside.
"Don't run! Stop! "
The two people were immediately stunned.
They turned to look outside, because they had already recognized that it was their companion's voice.
"Go!"
The two people turned and left, while the three people in the rockery were stunned.
Could it be that other people besides them had broken in?
But there was no time to think about it. Now was the best chance to leave.
"Let's go!"
Lin Mengya immediately led the two people away from the rockery and hurriedly ran in the direction of the front yard.
The scale of the old mansion of the Gong family was not small. In addition, after she came back, she deliberately expanded part of it, so there were a few more roads leading to the front yard.
The nearest road to them was a small path, which was originally for the convenience of the servants and led directly to the back kitchen.
Just as they walked not far away, they saw that there were already people guarding the road at the intersection.
The servants who came and went were carefully examined and interrogated.
It would not be easy to sneak past them.
"Baisu, go back first. Don't show any flaws. Xiu and I will find a way to sneak past them."
Baisu refused, for fear that they would be in danger.
But Lin Mengya pushed them away.
"You're the one I left here. Now that people have been alarmed, they will definitely suspect me. If you're not here, I'm afraid that they will confirm my suspicion. And if you go back, the danger will be much greater than ours. You have to take good care of yourself, understand? "
Baisu nodded helplessly. She knew that her master was right.
Although she was still worried, she did not want to cause trouble for her master.
"Xiu, I'll leave the master to you."
Xiu nodded with a solemn look in her eyes.
Baisu sighed and soon disappeared from her sight.
Looking at the servants in front of her who were being interrogated very strictly, Xiu could not help but feel a little worried.
"Elder Sister Ya, how should we get past them?"
"I'll find a way to attract their attention later. Then you take the opportunity to sneak in first."
"How can I do that?" Xiu shook her head like a rattle drum and refused repeatedly.
"In this way, you will be in great danger. No, I just promised Elder Sister Baisu that I would protect you. If you want to attract their attention, it should be me. "
Lin Mengya knew that Xiu, like Baisu, did not want her to take the risk.
But things were in front of them. If they continued to hide here, then after the banquet, Gong Tu and Lin Mengwu would definitely order their men to search the house.
At that time, wouldn't they be caught in a trap?
"If you listen to me, I have a way to escape. Or else, this is my home. Am I not as familiar with it as they are? "
Xiu asked in confusion.
"Do you mean that there is a secret passage here?"
She immediately nodded, but Xiu grabbed her arm and insisted.
"If so, then let's go together. Or you tell me where it is, and I'll go to meet you after I distract them. I have Xiaozi with me, and I don't care about ordinary minions. Or are you trying to fool me?! "
Alright, I've been seen through.
There was indeed a secret chamber in the Gong family, but she was sure that even if Lin Mengwu and Gong Tu did not know the specific location, they would send people to guard it.
Therefore, if she went there, it would be no different from throwing herself into a trap.
"Elder Sister Ya, let's go together. If we are caught, we can take care of each other. How about this, I'll distract them later, and you run out first. Then you can think of a way to save me. At most, I'll release Xiaozi to make a scene, and they won't be able to gain anything. "
"This girl." Lin Mengya disapprovingly patted her little head.
"You. Okay, okay, let me think about it. If we want to go, let's go together."
Only then did Xiu reveal a smile and stuck out her tongue playfully.
While they were standing in the corner and looking around, Lin Mengya suddenly felt someone approaching.
But at this moment, the two of them were in a state where they could no longer dodge or hide.
So they immediately pretended that nothing had happened, and stood in the corner with their heads down.
"Who are the two of you? Why are you standing here? "
The person who asked the question was a woman dressed as a maid.
Seeing that they were acting sneakily, she immediately became suspicious and questioned them sternly.
Lin Mengya did not raise her head, but only pretended to be timid and explained.
"Elder Sister, we're servants who came with Young Master. We mistakenly trespassed into the backyard. Get out now. "
The two of them turned around and were about to leave, but the servant girl refused to let them go.
"Stop right there! Since you came with your Young Master to attend the banquet, you should obediently serve in the front yard. What are you doing in the backyard? Don't tell me you're here to steal something! "
Seeing that the maid's voice was getting louder and louder, it would be terrible if those people who chased them were attracted.
She could name anyone, and she could guarantee that the person would not leak anything.
But she was afraid that Gong Tu would secretly detain them.
Although their lives would not be in danger, some things might be exposed in advance.
