Chapter 248: At the border valley, the armory was burned down by the young lady!
She observed the two guards out of the corner of her eye. They were staring at this place.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes twitched slightly, her foot twisted, and she fell forward. She subconsciously grabbed the medicine cabinet, and the cabinet was pulled out, and she fell heavily to the ground.
"What are you doing?"
Upon seeing this, the two guards immediately rushed in, looking at her warily with murderous eyes.
Lin Zhaoyue stood up, rubbed her sore knee, and apologized:
"I'm sorry, I didn't stand still just now."
As she spoke, she stood up and pushed the cabinet back.
"You're so impatient. Move faster."
Lin Zhaoyue kept apologizing and limped to get the remaining materials.
"Hurry up, get out of here as soon as you're done."
Lin Zhaoyue took the herbs to the kitchen, handed them to the chef, asked him to make braised pig's trotters for the "young lady", and then fetched a basin of hot water and went back.
Arriving at the room, she put down the hot water, closed the door, walked to the bedside, and gave the maid an injection with a silver needle. After making sure that the maid would not wake up within a day, she took out two black medicinal herbs from her sleeves.
The medicinal herb was black with a hint of red, and had a faint exotic fragrance.
Lin Zhaoyue covered her mouth and nose and looked at it carefully. It was indeed Qianlixiang.
Thunbergia is a powerful aphrodisiac. Once it is lit, anyone who smells it within a thousand steps, even an elephant, will be knocked unconscious.
This thyme is extremely hard to find and is almost extinct. It is now not even available on the black market. It is said to have only appeared in the eastern part of Beijue.
But why does her elder brother smell so good?
Did he get it by chance or did he get it from Beijue...
Lin Zhaoyue's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but the most urgent task now was to escape from here...
The strong wind died down and the fine snow fell obliquely with the breeze.
A strange fragrance spread in the air, and the two guards guarding Lin Zhaoyue's door fell down limply before they could react.
When the others heard the noise, they drew their swords and looked at Lin Zhaoyue's room with vigilance.
Just as he was about to take a step, the guards fainted one after another.
"Oh no, something's wrong..."
Someone was shouting, but before he could finish his words, his head started to feel dizzy and he fell heavily into the snowdrift.
Quarter of an hour later, Lin Zhaoyue opened the door and all the guards fell down.
She covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and the other hand was bleeding. Her fingertips and wrists were all covered in blood. As she walked, the blood dripped onto the ground and quickly coagulated.
With a pale face, she went to the pharmacy to find the antidote for the cartilage powder and thyme. Just as she imagined, the antidote was in the medicine cabinet where the thyme was placed. There were also three pieces of thyme in the cabinet, and Lin Zhaoyue took them all away.
After taking the cartilage powder and the antidote for thyme, she collapsed on the ground. After a while, she found some gauze to wrap the wound on her wrist and then walked towards the dungeon.
In the dungeon, Lin Wan and Madam Lin had fainted. She walked up to the unconscious guard and searched for the key on him.
The cell was opened, and she walked over to Lin Wan and Mrs. Lin and fed them the antidote.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Lin Wan and Mrs. Lin slowly woke up, but it was obvious that they were still unable to react to the scene before them.
"Zhao Zhao?"
Mrs. Lin immediately saw the gauze wrapped around Lin Zhaoyue’s hand, which was stained with blood, and her face was extremely pale.
"Zhao Zhao, why are you injured?"
Mrs. Lin asked worriedly.
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said:
"Mother, I'm fine, let's go."
Mrs. Lin knew that it was not advisable to stay here for long, and the most urgent thing was to escape from here.
Several people came out and looked at the fallen guards. Lin Wan said:
"Zhao Zhao, did you take down all these people?"
Lin Zhaoyue nodded, remembering something, and said:
"I don't know where this is, let's go to the kitchen and ask for something to eat and drink."
If this was a desert, it would still be some distance away from Beizhou City, and they needed to maintain their strength and energy.
The three of them went to the kitchen and packed up all the dry food to take away.
Outside the courtyard were densely packed houses, but no one was there.
But those houses cannot be useless.
Lin Zhaoyue paused and said:
"Just a moment."
Lin Zhaoyue said as she opened the door of a room.
After seeing the scene clearly, his pupils shrank violently.
Inside, there were densely packed weapons, bows and crossbows, spears, swords...
Mrs. Lin almost couldn't breathe when she saw this.
If this room is full of weapons, then the other rooms are also full of weapons...
Who would collect so many weapons? Lin Kaiji wanted them...
"Your elder brother... is planning to rebel..."
Lin Zhaoyue supported Mrs. Lin and inserted a silver needle directly into Mrs. Lin's meridian, for fear that she would faint from excitement.
"Mother, he is not the eldest brother."
Lin Zhaoyue said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Madam Lin grabbed Lin Zhaoyue's sleeve tightly:
"What do you mean? What do you mean he's not the eldest brother?"
"He is not your biological son."
The news came one after another, completely overturning Mrs. Lin's cognition, and her mind went blank.
Lin Wan reacted for a while before saying:
"What about our eldest brother?"
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head and said softly:
"We don't know yet. He may be dead or alive. Things are complicated. Now is not the time to talk about these things."
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the weapons in the room, her eyes flashing with deep thought, and said:
"Sister, help my mother go over there and rest for a while."
Lin Wan didn't understand why, but he still helped Mrs. Lin to rest aside.
It was not until she saw Lin Zhaoyue carrying kerosene that she understood what she wanted to do.
"Mother, you have a good rest, I will go and help you."
As he said this, he went to fetch kerosene with Lin Zhaoyue.
Mrs. Lin watched Lin Zhaoyue carrying and pouring oil, with a heavy expression and serious eyes... She suddenly felt a soreness in her eyes.
Her daughter suddenly grew up without her knowing.
I have become responsible and capable...
Mrs. Lin rested for a while and then went to carry kerosene with them.
Barrels of kerosene were continuously poured onto the house and the weapons, and the strong smell of kerosene filled the entire sand valley.
The snow stopped falling. Lin Zhaoyue held a torch, glanced at the wooden houses, and threw it over.
When the kerosene touched the sparks, it immediately caught fire, one tongue after another, burning into a raging fire, with thick smoke billowing, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-white earth. The flames rose high, and the fire devoured everything...
Lin Zhaoyue turned around and said to the two people waiting not far away:
"Mother, sister, let's go..."
……
The Snow Eagle was hovering in the sky, and suddenly it let out a sharp cry, vibrated its wide wings, and dived in a certain direction.
"Guard Ling, something bad has happened."
A guard came hurriedly to report, his face full of anxiety.
Ling Su looked at him and said:
"What's the matter?"
The guard looked at Ling Su's calm expression and said in a panic, stammering:
"The Bian Valley and the armory were burned down by the young lady!"
