The tyrannical father was so intimidated when his own daughter was found during the raid.
Chapter 19 You've almost outshone half a mountain of fireflies!
Black Wind Village, in the northern suburbs of the capital.
Located deep in the mountains and dense forests, surrounded by steep cliffs, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The gate of the mountain stronghold was made of hundreds of logs, and a torch was placed every five steps on the wall.
Night fell, and a cold wind howled.
On the path outside the village, two figures were moving quickly, crouching low, using the rocks and bushes as cover.
The little girl walking in front had a step as light as a falling leaf.
She skillfully scrambled over the pile of rocks, moving so quickly that she didn't disturb the treetops.
Behind her, an unidentified creature with a black burlap sack over its head looked particularly comical.
Although her head was covered, her exposed neck and shoulders glowed with a soft, neon-like Barbie pink light.
In the pitch-black depths of the mountains, this pink light was more striking than a lighthouse.
"Brother, could you tone it down a bit?"
Su Yaoyao lowered her voice, her tone helpless, "You've almost outshone half a mountain of fireflies."
With a burlap sack over his head, Su Jin's body glowed with every step he took, and he even seemed ready to try the moonwalk every now and then.
He was so frustrated he wanted to bang his head against the wall, and he replied in a low voice, "How can you blame me? The effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet!"
"Your tattered sack is useless; the light is almost burning it!"
Su Yaoyao's lips twitched.
She pulled a metal disc resembling a compass from her bosom.
That was an interstellar probe in her personal space.
A pale blue ripple pulsated at the center of the disc, scanning for nearby life signs.
"Stop joking. There are two guards dozing off about fifty meters to the left."
Su Yaoyao made a gesture with one hand, signaling Su Jin to follow closely.
He nimbly leaped onto a boulder, his eyes flashing like lightning.
With the aid of the interstellar probe, Black Wind Stronghold's defensive layout was practically naked in Su Yaoyao's eyes.
All the hidden sentry points, trap locations, and hidden stakes were marked on the detector screen as red dots.
"These idiots, they set the trap two meters away! Who are they trying to keep in mind?"
Su Yaoyao smiled contemptuously and led Su Jin around a ditch full of sharp spikes.
Su Jin followed behind his sister, his eyes filled with indescribable shock.
He thought that his illegitimate sister only dared to act recklessly because of the tyrannical emperor's favoritism.
It's clear that after witnessing Su Yaoyao's ability to avoid ambushes, Su Jin's opinion of her completely changed.
This method is beyond the reach of even the most elite scouts on the border.
"Sis, what kind of treasure is this?"
Su Jin couldn't help but ask in a low voice, his tone filled with a hint of reverence.
Su Yaoyao didn't turn her head and climbed over a fence.
"Don't ask any questions. Go back and use these things as my guinea pigs. You can play with them for a lifetime."
The two men, one in front and one behind, avoided all the sentries and silently approached the core area of Black Wind Stronghold.
Ahead was a huge stone warehouse.
This was the key to the general's stockpiling of gunpowder.
The warehouse's outer walls were wrapped with heavy iron chains, and several henchmen from Black Wind Village were carrying bottles of liquor and cursing.
"It's so cold in this wind. I wonder how long the general will have us guarding these jars and pots."
"Stop complaining! I heard they're pulling off something big on Mid-Autumn Festival night. We'll be the heroes then!"
Su Yaoyao squatted behind a broken wall, excitement flashing in her eyes.
[We've finally arrived! Once we bomb this place flat, let's see what that general has to rely on to rebel!]
She winked at Su Jin, and the two slowly approached the warehouse door.
Su Yaoyao took out a thermal cutting knife from her spatial storage, preparing to work on the iron chain.
Just as she was about to touch the latch.
Suddenly, a series of heavy, disordered footsteps came from the woods to the side.
The sound of boots crushing dry branches.
Su Yaoyao's expression changed slightly, and she pulled Su Jin back into the shadows.
On the detector, dozens of red dots converged from all directions.
It is a well-trained assassin squad.
They were all clad in black scale armor and wielded poisoned longswords.
This is the Blood Droplet unit that the general is most proud of.
The team leader was a one-eyed man with a sinister look in his eyes.
He was on his routine night patrol with his squad when he stumbled upon an unusual light and shadow standing at the warehouse entrance.
One-Eyed Dragon stopped in his tracks, raised his right hand, and the squad dispersed in an encircling formation.
"Who goes there!"
The one-eyed man roared, his gaze fixed on the pink light.
"How dare you trespass on Black Wind Stronghold! You have some nerve!"
"Get your asses out here, or we'll kill you all!"
Seeing that her whereabouts had been exposed, Su Yaoyao decided not to hide anymore.
She tugged at her night clothes and yanked off the comical black sack covering Su Jin's head.
Su Jin was bathed in dazzling Barbie pink light, instantly illuminating the entire warehouse.
The light was so bright that the surrounding assassins couldn't open their eyes and had to take a few steps back.
"What...what the hell is this?!"
The one-eyed man was startled by the sudden burst of pink light and roared in surprise and uncertainty.
He looked at the man bathed in fluorescent light, then at the little girl standing beside him.
Even the most experienced assassins were driven to the brink of madness.
"Where did this charlatan come from! Playing tricks!"
The one-eyed man quickly calmed down and swung his long sword.
"Surround them! Don't let a single one escape!"
More than a dozen Blood Droplet assassins sprang into the air, their long swords flashing through the air like cold shadows.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yaoyao and Su Jin were surrounded.
A dozen or so poisoned longswords gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight, sealing off all escape routes.
A suffocating, deathly atmosphere permeated the air.
The one-eyed leader was clearly much more ruthless than the ordinary guards.
He did not intend to capture him alive.
They went straight to the warehouse door.
There was a gunpowder barrel in front of the gate, which had been improperly moved and had some black gunpowder powder scattered on it.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.
The one-eyed man chuckled coldly, pulled a tinderbox from his pocket, and blew it on with a "whoosh."
He held the bright flame above the leaking gunpowder powder.
"I don't care if you're a demon or a human, if you run wild in Black Wind Stronghold, you'll only face death!"
The one-eyed man had a fierce look in his eyes, and his arm was trembling, ready to throw the tinder at any moment.
"If you dare to make a move, we'll all perish together!"
The flame on the tinderbox danced in the cold wind, about to touch the gunpowder on the ground.
Su Jin's pupils suddenly contracted, and his knuckles gripping the dagger turned white.
His inner energy surged, preparing to brave the poison and fight to the death to kill the one-eyed dragon before the fire pyrotechnics fell.
At the critical moment.
Su Yaoyao sighed calmly.
He pulled a small golden abacus from his pocket.
