Sister Han is good at farming

Chapter 249 Preparation

"Mr. Shi, before going to the palace, I want to know when you gave me the drug." Chase looked straight at Mr. Shi.

Shi Lao turned around and put his hands behind his back, "I'm not in the mood, let's go!"

"You!" Chase was furious. He felt a little aggrieved that he, the leader of the Royal Secret Guard, didn't even know when he was attacked.

"Hurry up, don't keep me waiting!" Old Shi urged impatiently as he walked forward.

"Let's go!" Wushang pushed him from behind.

Just as Chase accepted his fate, Shi Lao's voice could be heard faintly.

"If you want to poison someone without them noticing, you have to do it when the person who is poisoning you is distracted. Cai, although you are very alert, you were a little relaxed when you looked towards Bale City. Today, I will teach you a lesson. When you, the secret guards, have some popularity, that's basically the end of your life!"

"Teach me a lesson!" This time, Chase admitted defeat wholeheartedly.

As we were walking, a man wearing a bamboo hat suddenly rushed out from the front and blocked the road.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Wushang stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.

The man took off his hat, revealing a serious face.

"You must be Wushang and Shi Lao, right? The master has ordered that the assassination operation be suspended. Everything will be decided after she arrives."

"Who are you?" Old Shi narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Wu Shang stepped forward to explain, "He is Yan Qufeng, the head of the Mu Hall. He had been staying in Qingshui County, Lulin Prefecture, because of a mission. Recently, he was ordered by the master to go to Bale City, and he didn't want us to meet him here."

Shi Lao was so angry that his beard twitched three times. "The emperor was waiting to catch her. But she was still eagerly trying to get into his pocket. Isn't this nonsense? Why don't those people in Bale City try to persuade her?"

"Mr. Shi, the boss has her own considerations. We just need to do as she says." Carpenter Yan said calmly.

Chase interrupted, "The emperor must be worried that you can't get out. If she doesn't come, you might die here. The emperor cherishes her talent, not you two."

The implication is that there is no need for a reason to kill them.

Killing people is not the right thing to do, it's heart-breaking!

Seeing that they were still hesitating, Carpenter Yan pulled them away. "This is not the place to talk."

As soon as they left, a team of royal guards came over.

"Search carefully around!"

"Yes!"

Wushang, who retreated into the darkness, couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Hurry up!" Shi Lao pulled him, and the group disappeared into the alley in an instant.

In an inconspicuous courtyard with two entrances, Wushang and his group were sitting in the yard drinking tea.

"Why has the capital's defense been strengthened so much?" Wushang asked with a frown.

Carpenter Yan glanced at Chase and said, "It should be related to the news sent back by Lord Cai! Ten days ago, the entire capital was under martial law. In the past two days, only people are allowed to enter the city but not leave."

"So, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, we can't get out?" Wushang reacted immediately.

"Well, Juzi had anticipated that things might get tricky when the whole city was under martial law. When she heard that people were only allowed to enter the capital but not leave, she contacted me and asked me to enter the capital as soon as possible and find a safer place for you to hide. The situation should be much more serious than we expected, so she came here in person."

Mr. Shi clapped his hands angrily, "What's the point of her coming here? Other than adding another head, what else can she do?"

"The master will find a way. There are ears on the walls here, so I won't reveal any more." Carpenter Yan said.

"If we really have to search every house, we can't hide. Can we wait until the boss comes?" Wu Shang frowned in annoyance.

"There's a different world here. It's the villa of my brother-in-law's family. You can live here without worry." Carpenter Yan comforted.

Wu Shang thought of his superb woodworking skills and asked uncertainly, "Is there a mechanism inside?"

"That's right!" Carpenter Yan nodded. "Don't worry about the rest. I'll let you know when the master comes. The master said that preserving your strength is the most important thing at this time. Don't try to stand out. Protect yourself! There will be a tough battle to fight later!"

Hearing this, Old Shi couldn't help but curiously turn his head to look at Carpenter Yan. "What on earth is this little girl trying to keep secret? She's keeping me in a state of excitement!"

"I don't know the details. You should have a good rest first! If you need anything, just ring the bell in the room and I will be there in time. But in order to avoid being exposed and being seen by many people, there are only a few of us in this yard for the time being. We have to solve the trivial matters of life by ourselves and cannot ask others to do it for us."

Wu Shang rolled up his sleeves and said, "No problem! I can do some cooking and washing!"

Old Shi's mouth twitched, "Wushang boy, is the food you made edible?"

"Mr. Shi, you look down on me! Although I can't cook as deliciously as the master, I can still cook simple dishes to a pass level."

Wu Shang said unhappily.

"Forget it, now is not the time to be picky. As long as it's edible, it's fine!" Carpenter Yan was very optimistic.

Wu Shang was not optimistic. "Mr. Shi, please don't get too close to me when I'm cooking. I've learned a lot from your superb poisoning skills. I don't want you to poison me without knowing it and then blame it on my poor cooking skills."

Old Shi rolled his eyes and said, "How petty! If I really want to poison you, would I have to do it while you're cooking? So that I can use it against you? A true master would poison you without causing any trouble!

When you are eating, drinking, chatting, fighting for food... which one is not a good time for me to poison you? Boy, your low cognition has seriously affected your imagination!"

"You!" Wushang was furious.

"Don't be unconvinced! Go on more missions with me in the future and broaden your horizons! Otherwise you'll embarrass me by looking so ignorant!" Old Shi glanced at him with disdain.

"Are you done yet? Isn't it just your medical skills? Is it worth bragging about it over and over again? Chase is good at martial arts, but I never see him bragging about it from time to time." Wu Shang said angrily.

Old Shi glanced at Chase and said, "That kid Cai is not a human being at all. He is just a killer without any emotions! Have you ever seen a killer who can say that he is awesome?"

"Okay, both of you, stop arguing. If you are really bored, give me a hand." Carpenter Yan was annoyed by their noise and couldn't help but grab some able-bodied men. It would be a waste to not use the ready-made labor.

Only then did Shi Lao and Wu Shang see the wooden arrow in Carpenter Yan's hand.

"Are you making arrows?" Wushang asked.

"Well, we can only make the back half. Someone else will make the arrowhead, and they will be sent over to be combined together when the time comes."

Shi Lao just threw down his sleeves, stretched out his legs, put his hands on his head and leaned back, "I don't know how to do carpentry."

Wu Shang touched his nose and said, "I don't know how to do carpentry either."

"Who needs you to know carpentry? I just need you to help me saw the wood! Look, do you see this black line? Saw the wood along this black line." Carpenter Yan said unhappily.

"You, come here and split the sawn wood into long and thin strips like this!" Carpenter Yan pointed at Cai Si and said.

Chase's face darkened, "Why should I, a poisoned person, chop firewood?"

"You're free anyway, so why not help me? I'll be able to make more arrows when the master comes."

Carpenter Yan didn't care if they were poisoned or not. He was tall and strong, with a body full of tendons. How could he be afraid of chopping wood? Carpenter Yan didn't want to spoil them.
