Chapter 1966: Beat the Night Watcher

She had stood with a big belly for a while. After a while, she felt a little tired.

These days, she could clearly feel that as the fetus grew older, she was more and more exhausted when she walked.

That was all. However, there were some things that she felt powerless to do.

For example, even if she squatted down in the toilet, it would be difficult for her to get up. She needed someone to serve her, and she was not used to it at all.

Of course, this was only a small matter.

However, she discovered something even more serious.

Why was her superpower getting weaker and weaker?

Her superpower had reached level nine a year ago. When she used her level-nine superpower, she could overturn mountains and seas. It was extremely powerful and terrifying.

But now, her power had been downgraded. She used to be at level nine, but now she was only at level six.

At the thought of this, she gently stroked her stomach. She seemed to be able to feel that the children in her stomach were absorbing her energy.

Only then did she feel slightly relieved.

Lin Yuelan looked at him with a cold smile and said sarcastically,” Don’t even think about escaping. Because you’ve been hit by this princess’ Tendon Softening Powder. Hehe, just obediently surrender!”

After saying that, she ignored these things and returned to her resting place with the help of the servant girls.

Jiang Zhennan and a group of guards quickly obtained ropes and tied up all five to six hundred people.

The people who were tied up were already deeply regretful. At that time, they did not listen to the Second Leader’s words and left with him. In the end, the Second Leader is killed by the Third Leader, and they become captives. They were extremely terrified.

They were bandits who occupied the mountains and ruled the land. After being captured, other than being beheaded, they would be exiled to a bitter and cold land and work to death.

However, even if they wanted to escape now, they could not.

Thus, they were tied together like gra.s.shoppers and chased away like animals with knives and rattan in their hands.

As for this boss, his situation wasn’t any better. In fact, it seemed to be even worse.

He walked in front and took the lead. Once he stopped, before he could react, he was whipped.

Before they had even crossed the Seven Fork Ridge, the bandits in the mountain range received the news and were very shocked.

” Boss, the Tianfeng Stockade tried to rob the princesses of the Guguo from the Longyan Kingdom, but they were all captured instead. Even their headquarters were destroyed!”

“Boss, Tianfeng Stockade has been wiped out. Qi Zhishen, the bandit chief of Tianfeng Stockade, has been captured. I heard that they are going to bring him to the Imperial City!”

” Boss, it’s a good thing that you didn’t cooperate with the Tianfeng Stockade. Otherwise, we might have ended up the same way.”

“Boss is really wise!”

..

After the robbers received the news, they instantly exploded in the thieves’ lair. All of them were secretly glad that they had planned to wait and see before taking action.

Fortunately, they did not follow the plan. Otherwise, they might have been caught.

The escort of the princess of the Guguo from the Longyan Kingdom was attacked by a group of five to six hundred robbers when they pa.s.sed through the Seven Fork Ridge. The news quickly spread from the Seven Fork Ridge to the surrounding mountains, then to the people, and then to the court. It did not take long for it to reach the Imperial Palace.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Xiao Jingrui was so angry that he threw the jade cup in his hand directly at the head of the secret guard in front of him and shouted sharply,” If you can’t even do this, what’s the use of keeping you?”

The secret guard kowtowed and said,” Please calm down, Master. Please calm down, Master!”

Xiao Jingrui snapped,” I have long said that Princess Lin Yuelan of Guguo is an intelligent woman. Ordinary means are useless in her eyes. Qi Zhishen, on the other hand, tried to poison her in front of her. He’s simply courting death!”

He had fought with Lin Yuelan before, so he knew that Lin Yuelan had many tricks up her sleeve.

He had also warned them not to underestimate Lin Yuelan.

However, his subordinate was very proud and did not think much of it.

The secret guard knelt at the side and did not dare to speak.

After Xiao Jingrui was angry, he said,” Carry out the second plan!”

“Yes!” After receiving the order, the secret guard quickly left.

After Lin Yuelan and her group walked out of the Seven Fork Ridge, they arrived at Huaifeng City, one of the more prosperous counties in the Black Clouds Kingdom.

The mayor of Huaifeng City had received the news a long time ago, so he had been waiting at the city gate to welcome Lin Yuelan and the others.

When he saw a group of people in tattered clothes in the vast group, his eyes narrowed. Especially when he saw the man in the lead, his pupils constricted violently, but he quickly recovered.

” The Governor of Huaifeng City greets the Princess of the Guguo of Longyan Kingdom. Long live, long live, long live!” The Governor of Huaifeng City brought a group of subordinates to greet Lin Yuelan.

“Get up!” Lin Yuelan sat in the sedan chair and spoke indifferently.

The prefect and the others welcomed Lin Yuelan and the others into the city. Then, they sent them to the posthouse and performed the necessary etiquette.

After arriving at the courier station, Lin Yuelan looked at the governor and asked,” Lord Governor, how many days will it take to reach the Imperial City?”

The Governor of Huaifeng replied,” It should take another three days!”

Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, I understand. You can leave!”

The prefect replied,” Yes, Princess! If there’s anything, just tell me!”

After that, he immediately led his subordinates.

When he arrived at the court, he went to the study. A man in black was waiting for him.

When the prefect saw him, he replied respectfully,” Sir!”

The man in black turned around. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp. He said coldly,” Since the princess of Guguo has already arrived in Huaifeng City, Master wants you to act according to the plan. If there is any deviation, bring your head to see him!”

The prefect broke out in a cold sweat. His face was pale and terrified as he replied,” I will obey your orders!”

The man in black nodded and left.

After the man in black left, the prefect collapsed on the chair, his entire body trembling. His hands kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

After an unknown period of time, he adjusted his state of mind and then shouted sternly,” Men!”

After a while, someone came in and bowed to him.” Sir!”

The prefect’s expression was very serious as he said, “Go…”

He gave him a series of instructions and then said very sternly,” This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, our heads will all fall off!”

“Yes, sir!”

In the middle of the night, in the pitch-black darkness, the people in the house had already fallen asleep.

The only people who were active at night, other than the meowing cats, were the night watchmen.

“The weather is dry; be careful of the fire!”

The night watchman was a strong man in his thirties. He held a gong and drum and shouted as he beat it,” The weather is dry. Be careful of the fire!”

When he was about to approach the front of the posthouse, he looked around, but he did not stop.

After that, he walked to a pile of weeds not far away. He looked around and shouted,” The weather is dry. Be careful of the fire!”

After that, he took out a jar from the pile of gra.s.s and hid it behind the gong. In this darkness, it was difficult to notice anything unusual.

Then, as he walked, he struck the gong and shouted,” The weather is dry. Be careful of the fire!”

However, the path he took was slowly approaching the wall of the posthouse, knocking the gong as he walked.

If one paid close attention, one could hear the sound of a liquid flowing out.

However, this sound was well covered by the voice of the watchman.
