This was a habit she developed in her previous life. Whenever they went on a mission, they would find a safe place, rest up, and then plunge into the thrilling fight.

Along the way, Yun Mo didn't dare to talk to her, for fear that she would be sad because of thinking of Nineteen.

Yun Mo swallowed the dry food in his hand like chewing wax, stood up and came over to comfort her, but he heard her even breathing.

His eyes flickered slightly, and then he stood up and walked towards the place where the secret guards rested.

Anan's idea was very good. He also asked the secret guards to rest quickly so that they could have enough energy to deal with the next thing.

The Qianxia sisters followed suit, lying down on Lin Yinan's left and right, and soon closed their eyes and fell asleep.

When Yun Mo came back after finishing his work, he looked at the three people sleeping soundly. He shook his head and found a tree not far away to sit down and rest.

Shigong City, Ye Family

After listening to the report from his servant, the head of the Ye family's eyes lit up and he stood up excitedly.

"Is this true?"

The servant did not dare to hide anything and swore, "Master, this is absolutely true. Not only did I see it, but the people who were with me also saw it. If you don't believe me, you can call them over to ask."

Just at this moment, Ye Shang strode over and asked, "Dad, what happened?"

Seeing him come in, the servant repeated what he had just said.

"Dad, what a great opportunity! Didn't you say before that you couldn't find a chance to get closer to the people in Longtan? Isn't this the opportunity that's been delivered to your door?"

Although Ye Shang is a bit of a dandy in his daily life, his intelligence is just as smart as that of the head of the Ye family.

He is very good at seizing the opportunities that come his way.

The head of the Ye family smiled and said, "Shang'er is right! Butler, quickly prepare the carriage. Shang'er and I are going to leave the city."

Yun Mo, who had slept for less than a quarter of an hour, was woken up by his subordinates.

"Master, the head of the Ye family from Shigong City is here with the third young master of the Ye family to ask for a meeting!"

Yun Mo thought about it for a while but couldn't remember who this person was or why he knew him?

The secret guard reminded, "The city lord invited investors before, and the Ye family from Shigong City has become one of our Longtan's major customers."

The head of the Ye family looked at the man walking towards him. He had a solemn and murderous aura, was handsome, and had a tall and straight stature. It was said that this man was City Lord Lin’s husband - Yun Mo.

He is truly a rare talent; his temperament is very compatible with City Lord Lin.

The two bowed and saluted Yun Mo, "Greetings, General Yun!"

Yun Mo bowed in return.

"I don't know what you two are here for?"

"I heard that City Lord Lin and her husband came to the outskirts of Shigong City but did not enter the city, so I came to invite you two to rest in my house."

"Master Ye, you are welcome!"

A cold voice sounded from behind them, and Lin Yinan woke up alertly when the carriage of the head of the Ye family entered their resting area.

She had a polite smile on her face. "We are here for important matters. It is not convenient for us to go into the city. I hope Master Ye will forgive us. We will visit you in the future."

The head of the Ye family turned his head and looked at his third son in embarrassment.

Ye Shang gave him a calming look and said, "I wonder if my Ye family can help with City Lord Lin's matter?"

Lin Yinan was an open-minded person. He felt that their grievances with the major families in Nanzhou Prefecture would be exposed sooner or later, so it would be better to be honest with each other sooner or later.

"It's not a big deal. The Yu and Fan families in Nanzhou Prefecture sent assassins to kidnap the women in the family. We brought people here to intercept them. I think it's better for the Ye family not to interfere in this matter. If the head of the Ye family and the third son of the Ye family are fine, they should return to the city as soon as possible to avoid being implicated."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Ye family looked at Ye Shang in amazement. They had made too many promises before, and now that the other party had politely refused, it would be too inhumane if they really did not help him.

A light flashed in Ye Shang's eyes, and he bowed to Lin Yinan and his wife.

"In that case, Ye Shang would like to thank Lord Lin for his sympathy!"

Lin Yinan nodded slightly, without any intention of blaming him.

The Ye family of Shigong City is no match for the other aristocratic families in Nanzhou Prefecture, otherwise they would not have repeatedly given in on the issue of grain collection.

The head of the Ye family was pulled into the carriage by Ye Shang, and he didn't come to his senses until the carriage started moving.

"Shang'er, with such a great opportunity, how can we..."

Ye Shang made a gesture to him to keep quiet and pointed outside the carriage. He knew that people who practiced martial arts all had sharp ears and eyes.

It was not until the carriage had traveled some distance that he whispered, "Dad, City Lord Lin doesn't want to owe us a favor."

"So are we just leaving like this?" asked the head of the Ye family.

Ye Shang turned his head and smiled mysteriously at his father, "This is just a delaying tactic. Dad, I will go back and ask my second and third brothers to get some support."

"Good, good! My son has really grown up and is thoughtful. I am relieved as a father."

The head of the Ye family said hello three times, stroked his gray beard, and looked at his youngest son with a look of satisfaction.

Half an hour later.

Yun Shiyi and others who went to investigate came back.

"Reporting to the master and madam, the carriage escorting the old lady and others is expected to arrive here in an hour."

Lin Yinan asked, "Have you found out about the old lady and the others' situation?"

Yun Shi thought for a moment and said, "We dare not rashly alarm those assassins. We are a little far away and cannot see clearly. Through the curtains blown by the wind, we can see that the Second Madam and the Nineteenth Miss are in the carriage."

She had already expected Yun Shijiu and Lu Yashuang to be in the carriage.

"How are they?"

"I don't know. Everyone in the carriage seemed to be asleep and no sound was heard." Yun Shiyi shook his head in annoyance.

The safest and most convenient way to capture so many people at once is to put them into a coma to facilitate long-distance transportation.

Lin Yinan had captured prisoners in his previous life, but in order to save themselves trouble, they never considered the life and death of the prisoners.

Is this retribution for her?

Seeing that Lin Yinan remained silent for a long time, Yun Mo asked Yun Shiyi and others to go down and rest.

At this moment, Lin Yinan's ears moved slightly, and he keenly realized that a large number of people were coming towards them.

"somebody is coming?"

"What?" Even though Yun Mo's martial arts skills were very high, his hearing was still not as good as Lin Yinan's. He did not hear anything unusual at this time.

Lin Yinan repeated, "Several groups of people are coming our way!"

Yun Mo's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he immediately leaned over to the ground and listened carefully.

In a moment, Yun Mo jumped up from the ground and ran towards the resting place of the secret guards.

Lin Yinan wakes up the sisters Chixia who are still awake.

Yu Xunmei leaned against the luxurious carriage. Various fruits and snacks were placed on the table, and refreshing incense filled the entire carriage.

Suddenly, the carriage braked to a stop and Yu Xunmei almost fell into the carriage. Fortunately, she was quick to grab the table next to her.

The maid who served beside her was not so lucky. Her forehead hit the carriage hard, and a dark purple streak appeared on it in the blink of an eye.

Glancing at the useless maid, Yu Xunmei lifted the curtain of the carriage and spoke in a lazy voice.

"What's going on outside?"

The guard in charge of the trip stood in front of the carriage and reported.

"Miss, a group of fully armed unknown people appeared ahead."

"Oh?"

Holding Suo Wei's hand, Yu Xunmei leaned down and got off the carriage.

As soon as she stood firm, she saw that the person standing in front of her was Lin Yinan, dressed in black.

"It turns out to be an old acquaintance!"
