Chapter 786: Caught Off Guard

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a while, she found a person with a sword on his waist squatting in the dark corner opposite Qin’s shop. He was clearly freezing from the cold and kept breathing into his hands, but his eyes were like wolves, staring at Qin’s shop.

That person would immediately make a move if there were any movements from that shop.

It was pitch black inside the shop. There was probably no one there. Even if there was someone, they were probably sleeping in the room in the backyard of the shop.

Jiang Yue was still not in a hurry to go over. She looked around silently and was completely sure that this person was the only one stationed there. Then, she quietly went behind the person and struck the back of the person’s neck with a knife, immediately knocking him out.

This person was definitely one of Empress Dowager Yunzi’s men.

Other people wouldn’t be watching the shop so closely after the lights were turned off. This was the a.s.sumption that other people were asleep.

Knowing this, she went to Qin’s shop.

She found that the people in the shop were indeed sleeping in the few rooms in the backyard of the shop. There was no one guarding the entrance or in the shop. She returned and dragged the unconscious person into the shop with one hand. She didn’t want this person to freeze to death outside. She still needed this person to deliver the letter to Empress Dowager Yunzi.

In the shop, she found a big wooden box with the words Imperial Capital on it. When she opened the big wooden box, there were already many letters inside.

Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to put the letter written by Xue Yan. Instead, she threw the person who had been struck unconscious in. Then, she took out the letter from her pouch and placed it on that person.

There was no need to close the lid of the big wooden box.

Since there was nothing else to do, Jiang Yue quietly left the shop. After walking for a while, she took the horse out of her s.p.a.ce. She then hung the side of the horse’s belly before returning to town.

When she was about to return to her family’s rice noodle shop, she kept the horse before walking back to the shop.

The window of Xue Yan’s room was still open. Even though there was no oil lamp lit, it was obvious that he had not slept yet. She did not go to say anything to Xue Yan, instead, she went to the backyard of her shop, brought the horse out, and put it into the barn.

The horse came out of the s.p.a.ce again and returned to the shed. The s.p.a.ce was bright all year round and there was no night, but the shed was dark. The horse was naturally not used to it. It immediately neighed and spun on the spot. Then, she heard voices outside, “The horse is making noises. Someone might be trying to steal the horse!”

“Then quickly get up and take a look.” Another voice sounded as they also heard the horse’s cry.

When the man hurriedly opened the door and came to the barn, Jiang Yue had already jumped over the wall quickly. He did not see her at all.

The man saw that there was nothing missing in the stable. It was late at night, but the horse was still awake. It was actually standing and spinning around, trying to catch something. He did not mind and returned to sleep with peace of mind.

Jiang Yue came to the front again and took out a rope from her s.p.a.ce to throw it up. However, she did not throw it on her window frame, but on Xue Yan’s open window frame.

Then, she climbed up the rope.

Arriving at Xue Yan’s room, the room was pitch-black, she also couldn’t see where Xue Yan was, only lowering her voice to say, “It’s done. Go to sleep.”

“Okay.” In the darkness, Xue Yan’s reply pa.s.sed as a low whisper.

Then, Jiang Yue returned to her room and went to sleep..
