Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

"Yes, to the east."

Tao'er nodded and spoke with great detail, "It wasn't dark yet. I was coming back from gathering herbs on the mountain when I saw them."

I was wondering why the young master, who looked injured, wasn't resting somewhere instead of heading into the mountains.

If you chase them eastward, you might be able to catch up.

Without saying a word, the man in black turned and left.

Tao'er watched their figures disappear into the night before closing the door and letting out a long sigh.

so close!

She leaned against the door, feeling her heart still pounding.

She wasn't sure if her words had fooled those people.

But at least, they were temporarily sent away.

Once that big man returns and this young master regains consciousness, we should be able to leave.

Once I leave, it's over between us.

However, it's still unknown whether that big man is dead or alive!

Tao'er returned upstairs, gently pushed open the door of the next room, flashed back into her spatial dimension, and glanced at Ayan, who was sleeping soundly.

The little one was fast asleep and had no idea what had just happened.

It's definitely better to be a child!

She went back to the main room and pulled the person back onto the bed from under it.

Fortunately, she was strong enough, otherwise she would have been exhausted.

The man on the bed was still fast asleep, his breathing much more even, completely unaware of what had just happened.

With the help of the moonlight shining through the window, Tao'er finally had a chance to look at him carefully.

Even without any adornment, this person is born with the bearing of a dragon and the beauty of a phoenix, radiant and elegant!

Tao'er sat on the stool by the bed, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, and suddenly found it a little funny.

What's wrong with her?

He was clearly an unrelated person, someone he could have ignored, but he somehow ended up getting himself involved.

After thinking about it, I realized the reason is probably because she couldn't bear to stand by and watch someone die.

Just as Tao'er closed her eyes, she was startled by a loud "bang" and jumped up.

She immediately became alert, walked to the window and looked down. The inn's courtyard gate had been kicked open, one of the wooden doors was lying on the ground, and the bolt was broken in two.

Then, those three murderous men reappeared in the courtyard.

Tao'er was in a state of utter confusion, wondering why those three damned assassins had returned.

Cursing and swearing could already be heard from below.

"You bitch, get down here right now, or I'll burn your shop down!"

Do you know who the three of us are?

They dare to lie to even us? They're really courting death!

"Get down here right now! We've already found bloodstains dripping all the way to your shop's entrance!"

"You still dare to say you didn't hide them!"

"Hand them over right now, or else..."

Tao'er gritted her teeth. She knew she had no choice but to go down now, otherwise the three of them would really burn the inn down.

She turned and glanced at the man on the bed, then turned and walked out, returning to Ayan's room next door.

Without saying a word, they put him into their spatial storage, just in case.

After doing all that, she took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and shouted downstairs, "What are you shouting about? What nonsense are you talking about? I'm coming down right now!"

Don't rush me anymore!

Her voice was steady, without the slightest tremor.

"Hahaha……

"You little brat, you've got some nerve! Get down here right now, or I'll give you a proper burial!"

Tao'er laughed and scolded, "You three good-for-nothing grandsons, just you wait, I'm coming down to deal with you right now!"

Holding pepper spray in her left hand and a stun gun in her right, she walked confidently down the stairs with her hands behind her back and stood in front of them.

Under the moonlight, there was not a trace of fear on her face.

"Brother, look at this woman, she's not afraid of us at all?"

"Hahaha……

"That's hilarious! She probably doesn't know who we really are!"

"What a brat! She's got some nerve; she's got the fearlessness of a newborn calf!"

The three men let out arrogant laughter, which was particularly jarring in the night.

Then the leader spoke first, his tone tinged with amusement: "Little girl, hand over that man, and I'll let you have a proper burial!"

"Pah!"

If you don't want to live, then stay!

Tao'er cursed.

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand and sprayed the chili water on his face. With a hissing sound, the spicy liquid sprayed straight into the man's eyes.

"Ah... my eyes!"

The leader let out a scream and covered his face with his hands.

With her other hand, Tao'er swiftly struck, stabbing the stun gun into his waist. A flash of blue electricity erupted, and the man convulsed, falling backward and crashing to the ground with a thud. He twitched twice and then remained still.

"Big brother..."

"You bitch, you're asking for it!"

What did you do to my older brother?

The remaining two then realized what was happening, and one of them roared and drew his sword to slash at them.

Another person went to check on their fallen companion.

Tao'er ducked and rolled to the side, perfectly avoiding the knife.

The knife struck the door frame behind her, sending splinters flying.

Before the man could pull his knife back, she picked up the pepper spray and sprayed it into his eyes again, making a sharp, sizzling sound.

"Ah... my eyes!"

The man was in so much pain that he immediately dropped the knife and covered his eyes, crying out in pain.

Taking advantage of his pain, Tao'er struck him with a stun gun, delivering a fatal blow.

The man's body trembled violently before he collapsed limply to the ground.

Having dealt with the two people, Tao'er breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining man in black stared in horror, shook his head in disbelief, and stumbled backward.

"Impossible..."

"Impossible..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Her voice trembled slightly as she pointed at Tao'er, "What exactly did you do to them?"

"You killed them all?"

Tao'er shook the stun gun in her hand and gave him a bright smile. "My dear grandson, don't run away. Your grandma hasn't dealt with you yet."

The man turned and ran.

How could Tao'er let him get away?

He chased after him in two strides, sprayed pepper spray on the back of his head, and the man screamed and stopped. Before he could even turn around, the stun gun was already on him.

Sizzle...

The third person also fell to the ground.

Tao'er stood among the three dead bodies, panting heavily, only then realizing that her palms were covered in sweat.

She crouched down and checked the three of them; they were still breathing, but they had fainted.

They're still alive, but these three must be assassins; their martial arts skills must be very strong.

Moreover, these three are ruthless killers; I cannot let them go!

But what to do next?

Tao'er looked at the person lying on the ground, then at the broken courtyard gate, and rubbed her temples in exasperation.

After thinking for a moment, she dragged the three people to the woodshed in the backyard and tied them up tightly with rope.

Then I went back to the front yard, looked at the door that had fallen to the ground, and thought, "Oh well, I have to leave tomorrow anyway."

He dragged the three men to the latrine and then shocked them with electricity several more times.

Then they gagged them and finally threw the three of them into a two-meter-deep latrine.

By the time all this was done, it was almost dawn.

Tao'er went back upstairs and put the man in the room back on the bed.

He was still fast asleep, unaware of anything.

She carried Ayan back to bed. The little guy was sleeping soundly, his little mouth smacking, probably having some sweet dream.

Tao leaned against the door frame, watching the first light of dawn appear in the east. She was exhausted after a whole night of tossing and turning!

Tao'er yawned and went back to her room to lie down on the bed.

It's almost dawn, time to go to sleep.

What will happen to this young nobleman if that big man doesn't come back?

His injury probably won't heal all at once; he'll need to rest for at least a while.

It was highly poisonous, and the cut was extremely deep.

Forget about all this, I'll just get some sleep and recharge!

She closed her eyes and lay down next to Ayan, fully clothed.
