Chapter 81 Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liu break into the Prime Minister's residence late at night
The night was as dark as ink, thick and impenetrable. Jiang Liushen stood in the courtyard, gazing at the deep night, his resolve growing ever stronger.
Tonight, he was determined to sneak into the Prime Minister's residence and uncover the secrets behind the layers of mystery.
Xiao Jingchuan looked solemn, turned around and went back into the house, where he sat down at his desk and wrote a letter.
His penmanship was sharp and forceful; every word seemed to express his determination and worries.
After writing, he carefully folded the letter and handed it to Yueying, the bodyguard who was always by his side, and whispered, "Be sure to deliver this letter to Father Emperor personally." Then...
He then discussed with the Crown Prince of Xijing Kingdom about going together. Their eyes met, and they both saw the fearlessness and determination in each other's eyes.
Upon hearing their plan, Gu Liuli frowned slightly, and after a moment, turned and walked into the inner room.
When she reappeared, she held a small, exquisite NK mini pistol. She moved gracefully to Xiao Jingchuan and said gently and earnestly, "Husband, let me teach you how to use this. In a critical moment, it can protect you." She then patiently began explaining how to use the pistol. Xiao Jingchuan listened attentively, nodding occasionally, his eyes filled with gratitude and love for Gu Liuli.
Gu Liuli then led Xiao Jingchuan to an open space in the courtyard. To avoid being accidentally injured, Gu Liuli cleared everyone out of the courtyard.
Gu Liuli first taught Xiao Jingchuan how to hold the gun and how to aim it at what he wanted to shoot. Then she fired the gun. Suddenly, a vase in the distance shattered, but the thing in Xiao Jingchuan's hand did not make a sound.
"Wife? This?" Xiao Jingchuan was shocked. He didn't utter a sound. She was truly killing without leaving a trace!
Gu Liuli smiled and whispered in Xiao Jingchuan's ear, "Husband, I exchanged a silencer with the system, so no matter what I hit, it makes no sound at all!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. He couldn't help but gently stroke the magical weapon, examining the silencer repeatedly as if exploring a completely new world. "My wife, you are truly exceptionally intelligent. With this divine weapon, our chances of success on this night raid will definitely be much greater."
Gu Liuli nodded slightly, her smile undiminished, and continued, "This silencer is good, but you still need to be careful when using it. When firing, the recoil will vary depending on the characteristics of the gun, so you need to get used to it." As she spoke, she picked up the pistol and personally demonstrated several shooting actions in different positions, explaining the key points of each action in detail.
Xiao Jingchuan practiced repeatedly as instructed. At first, he was a little rusty and failed to hold the gun steadily several times. However, he was not discouraged. With Gu Liuli's patient guidance, he gradually mastered the skills and each shot became more and more accurate and smooth.
During a break in practice, Jiang Liushen also came to the courtyard. Seeing the peculiar weapon in Xiao Jingchuan's hand, his eyes were filled with curiosity. Jiang Liushen couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what is this? It's so amazing, it can silently destroy its target." Xiao Jingchuan smiled and handed them the pistol, explaining it in detail. Everyone was amazed.
As dusk approached and night was about to completely envelop the earth, Gu Liuli took out a small cloth bag from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Jingchuan: "Inside are a few specially made bullets, more powerful than ordinary bullets. Keep them safe, just in case." Xiao Jingchuan solemnly accepted them and carefully placed them in his pocket, his eyes filled with trust and reliance on Gu Liuli.
Gu Liuli stayed behind to eat and chat with her father, while Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen had already arrived at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence. When the two of them climbed over the wall and went inside, they found that the Prime Minister's residence was heavily guarded.
At that moment, Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen had just landed when they disappeared into the shadows. Holding their breath, they cautiously observed their surroundings. They saw patrolling guards coming in waves, with very short intervals between them; the slightest carelessness would expose their presence.
"The security at the Prime Minister's residence is even tighter than we imagined. We must be careful," Xiao Jingchuan said to Jiang Liushen in a low voice with a solemn expression.
Jiang Liushen nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as he stared intently at the constantly moving guards. Taking advantage of the brief interval between the two groups of guards, the two moved with ghostly speed, hugging the wall as they headed towards the main hall of the Prime Minister's residence.
Having finally evaded the patrolling guards and reached the vicinity of the main hall, they heard voices coming from inside. Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen exchanged a glance, quietly approached, hid under the window, and pricked up their ears to listen.
"This plan is of utmost importance and cannot afford the slightest mistake." A deep voice came from behind, and Xiao Jingchuan recognized it as the Prime Minister's voice.
"Rest assured, sir, everything has been arranged. As long as we proceed according to plan, we will surely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop," another voice replied obsequiously.
The two men were startled, wondering who this "wipe them all out" referred to. Just as they were about to listen more closely, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind them. It turned out that a guard had broken away from the group for some reason and was walking towards them alone.
Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen didn't have time to think. They quickly got up and prepared to find a place to hide. But the guard had sharp eyes and spotted them at a glance. He immediately shouted, "Who goes there!" Then, he drew his sword and rushed towards them.
At the critical moment, Xiao Jingchuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He took out a pebble from his pocket and threw it with all his might towards the flower bushes in the distance. With a "whoosh," a sound came from the flower bushes, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.
The guard abruptly stopped, his gaze warily shifting towards the direction of the sound, a hint of hesitation on his face. In that instant, Jiang Liushen lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a black lightning bolt, he charged towards the guard. Sensing danger, the guard was about to turn around when Jiang Liushen had already closed in, his palm slashing sharply towards the guard's neck.
The attack was swift and precise; the guard didn't even have time to cry out before collapsing limply to the ground. Jiang Liushen reacted quickly, catching the guard to prevent him from falling and making a sound.
"Run!" Xiao Jingchuan shouted in a low voice. The two quickly hid the guard's body behind the bushes nearby, then ran along the wall in the opposite direction.
They hadn't run far when another patrol of guards appeared ahead. Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen immediately stopped, looked around, and spotted an abandoned woodshed nearby. Without hesitation, they slipped inside and quietly closed the door.
They hid in the woodshed, barely daring to breathe, listening intently as the guards' footsteps drew closer. Just as the guards were about to reach the woodshed door, a commotion suddenly erupted nearby. It turned out that the spot where Xiao Jingchuan had thrown the stones earlier had attracted the attention of the other guards, who all rushed over to investigate.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Xiao Jingchuan and Jiang Liushen quietly opened the back door of the woodshed and slipped back into the night. They traversed the intricate courtyards and corridors, and with their excellent skills and keen observation, they finally managed to evade all the guards and reach the backyard of the Prime Minister's residence.
