Chapter 140: Saving the Crazy Mistress in Sheep's Clothing
In a blink of an eye, the waiter arrived at a secluded place. He knelt on one knee and respectfully called out to the person in front of him, "Master."
Song Yizhi glanced at the person in front of him calmly and asked softly, "No one noticed anything when you came out, did you?"
The waiter pursed his lips and said, "When I first came out, I was stopped by a guard at the door, but I used ventriloquism to fool him. Now I'm using the excuse of going out to relieve myself to come see you, so I didn't arouse his suspicion."
Song Yizhi nodded. "That's good. What's the situation inside the post station now? How are they defending it?"
The waiter whispered back, "There are four guards taking turns guarding the perimeter of the post station. I've already figured out their shift changes. The next shift change should be in half an hour.
"There are only two guards at the door of the princess's house, and there are no servants waiting inside. As long as we find an opportunity to climb up through the window when they change shifts, and then kill the princess before she makes a sound, we won't arouse the suspicion of the guards at the door."
After hearing this, Song Yizhi's eyes flashed with a glint of determination. He said to the subordinate who had just reported the news, "The information you have gathered is good. You should go back first. Don't let the guards at the post station get suspicious. If there are any changes, remember to send a signal in time."
"Yes! Then I'll take my leave first." After saying that, the subordinate dressed as a waiter turned around and went back to the post station.
After that subordinate left, Song Yizi said to the remaining subordinates around him: "In half an hour, we will be ready to act!"
......
As time passed, a cloud floated in front of the moon. The moonlight was blocked by the cloud, making the environment around the post station seem a little darker.
Seeing this, Song Yizi took advantage of this natural cover and quietly and slowly approached the post station.
At this time, Luo An, who was standing guard at the entrance of the post station, felt that something was wrong.
Because it had been a while since the waiter went to the dense forest, but there was no sign of him returning. Not only that, he also didn't hear any strange sounds in the forest.
He frowned and called over an Iron Eagle Guard in a deep voice, "Just now, a waiter at the post station went to the woods to relieve himself. Go and check the situation in the woods."
The Iron Eagle Guard who was called by Luo An replied respectfully, "Yes." Then he picked up his spear and prepared to walk towards the woods.
However, he had just taken a few steps towards the woods when he heard hurried footsteps coming from not far away.
Looking closely, it was the waiter who had just left the post station.
When Luo An saw him coming back, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, "Why did you go for so long?"
The waiter lowered his head and said with an embarrassed look, "I was afraid that the noise would disturb the guests at the post station, so I walked away on purpose. I was afraid that the guard would misunderstand me. I ran back as soon as I was done!"
Luo An stared sharply at the waiter in front of him and found that the waiter's breathless appearance when he said this was consistent with the situation he described. So he said in a deep voice: "Then you should go in quickly. There is nothing wrong. Don't come out again."
"Okay, okay, I'll go in right away and promise not to come out again to trouble the guards." With that, the waiter nodded and bowed as he entered the post station.
However, after the waiter's figure disappeared from his sight, Luo An did not relax his vigilance. His intuition always told him that tonight would not be so peaceful, and his intuition had never been wrong when he followed the Marquis to the battlefield!
Since he has accepted the task of escorting Princess Wen Yang to her marriage, he cannot afford to make any mistakes at this moment. If Wen Yang encounters danger, he will have no face to face the Marquis!
At this time, a deputy came to Luo An and said, "Commander, it's time to change guards. I'll take your place."
Luo An nodded, then his eyes swept sharply over every corner around the post station again. After confirming that there was no disturbance for the time being, he felt relieved.
He instructed his deputy who had come to relieve him, "Strengthen patrols around here, especially the dark corners near the post station and the edge of the woods. If there's any sign of trouble, wake me up immediately!"
"Yes!"
Only after the deputy responded seriously did Luo An leave.
Song Yizi, who was far away, saw the moment when Tieyingweimen changed his shift and immediately made a gesture to his subordinates to take action.
Two of them immediately understood and stepped heavier, deliberately creating just the right amount of suspicious noises in the woods.
As expected, two of the Iron Eagle Guards were immediately drawn to the sound after noticing it, and cautiously headed in the direction of the sound.
Seeing that the two guards were successfully attracted, Song Yizi curled up his lips into a determined smile.
He led his subordinates along the previously planned route. While the two guards were distracted, they cleverly slipped through the perimeter of the post station along their blind spot and quietly landed in the yard of the post station.
Song Yizi immediately signaled his subordinates to disperse and find cover to hide themselves so that they could provide support.
He himself climbed up the beam and quietly approached the second-floor window.
According to the spies who had been ambushing at the post station, Wen Yang's room was the innermost one on the second floor, so Song Yizi tiptoed to the window of that room. He listened carefully to the movements in the room and found that there was no sound inside. After guessing that Wen Yang should have been asleep, Song Yizi took out a thin iron wire from his waist, stretched it into the gap of the window, and gently picked it up.
The window latch opened.
Song Yizi held his breath and gently raised the window. The hazy moonlight poured into the room. Just as he was about to take a look inside with the weak moonlight, he looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes.
Wen Yang was sitting beside the bed with a clear expression on his face at this moment. He chuckled and said, "You are here as expected, Song Yizi."
