Giant Ship Across the Song Dynasty: My Supplies Come from My Motherland

Chapter 71, There's really no need for this...

The "Dare to Do It" was heavily guarded at night. After all, it was the residence of the Jin envoys, and a high-ranking one at that. In addition, there was much opposition from the people of Song at the time, so it was naturally as solid as a rock.

The guards at the gate had to announce the arrival of the guards every fifteen minutes, and there were hundreds of people patrolling inside in shifts. It would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to break through this impenetrable defense.

"The three of us will go in through the back door, which I know very well, and then we'll take down my mother's bodyguards in the backyard."

The three men, including Yangti, were squatting at the base of the wall, conducting pre-battle mobilization and beginning tactical planning.

Lin Zhou silently pulled out his pistol and cocked it with a click. Yang Ti asked curiously, "What is this?"

"A gun... um, a kind of concealed weapon. A gun is fast from seven paces away, and within seven paces it is both fast and accurate."

"Will it kill someone?"

Lin Zhou thought for a few seconds and said, "He's basically dead."

"There's no need for that." Yang Ti pressed Lin Zhou's hand down: "The guards are my cousins, uncles, and cousins..."

"Oh……"

Lin Zhou silently ejected the gun, removed the bullet, then switched off the safety and kicked it back at him: "You should have said we were relatives earlier."

"The bodyguards are all relatives!" Yangti exclaimed with wide eyes. "Didn't you know? Some of them are even blood relatives."

"I thought... well... it just meant being good at kung fu..."

"Relatives, relatives, how can someone become a bodyguard if they're not relatives? They can't be people you grew up with." Yangti sniffed. "They have to be the kind of relatives who share both glory and honor."

As the three were talking, the head of the attendant poked his head out from behind the wall and looked at the three below: "Young Master, what are you doing squatting outside?"

"Oh... Uncle Tori, it's like this, I'm chatting with my two brothers."

"It's cold outside, come in and chat."

The three were ushered into the backyard. Yangti turned around and wanted to go into Hongliu's room. He thought the guards would stop him, but they didn't even seem to look at them.

"Uncle Tori, is Ulin inside?"

"Yes, yes, the princess is throwing a tantrum again. You should go in and check on her."

Upon opening the door, Lin Zhou immediately saw Hong Liu sitting on the bed, with an iron chain around her waist. Her range of movement was limited to about two or three meters, which looked quite uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's that bad?"

Lin Zhou stepped forward and tugged at the iron chain around Hong Liu's waist, only to find it locked fastened: "What a heartless mother."

Hongliu was almost in tears, and when she saw Lin Zhou, she playfully hit him, saying, "Why did you take so long to get here!"

"So how can you blame me? This is a place I can just walk into whenever I want!"

Lu You, who was standing nearby, exclaimed "Ah!" but ultimately chose to remain silent. After all, he had just said two days ago that he "didn't like her that much," but bringing it up now made him feel like he wasn't acting like a human being, so Lu You simply kept quiet.

At this moment, Lu You suddenly realized that his lofty aspirations were now straying further and further down the path of inhumanity, and his reputation for integrity could never be restored.

As he spoke, Lin Zhou walked to the second shelf of the bedside table and took out a key: "I'll unlock it for you."

"Huh?" Hongliu looked up in surprise. "The key? The key is in my room?"

"Otherwise what? When I was a kid, I would just leash the dog casually, and the dog would know it was tied up and wouldn't run away."

"Dog! Tie the dog up!"

Hongliu raised her foot to kick Lin Zhou, but Lin Zhou dodged it with a nimble movement. Then he went to the bedside and clicked open the chain around her waist.

"Take me away! I don't want to stay here anymore!" Hongliu broke free of her chains and said angrily, "Take me away!"

"Where am I taking you?"

"Wherever you go, I'll go!" Hongliu's eyes were red at this moment: "Who would keep their own daughter chained up like a dog?"

Lin Zhou paced back and forth in the room with his arms crossed: "I'm a good-for-nothing in this life, I don't know anything. But in all these years of struggling, I've learned one thing, which is to never listen to one side of the story. Tell me yourself what you did to get locked up."

"I didn't do anything... I just... didn't do anything."

Her tone became noticeably hesitant, and her stammering suggested she had done something wrong. At this moment, Yangti added fuel to the fire, saying, "She burned down the side hall and smashed the jade bracelet in her mother's dowry chest."

"Oh……"

Lin Zhou looked Hong Liu up and down: "Your mother is really a good mother. If it were me, I would hang you up."

"Upside down," Yangti nodded.

"Stop talking nonsense and get me out of here! I won't survive if you keep me locked up any longer."

Lin Zhou walked to the door, glanced inside, and then silently retreated: "Ah, well... it's like this, there are about fifty people patrolling outside right now. You tell me how we can get you out of here."

"I don't care!"

Hongliu pointed to the roof beam: "If you don't take me out, I'll die here tonight!"

"Okay then." Lin Zhou pulled out the dagger from the sheep's hoof and handed it to her: "Give yourself a stab to the leg. I'm telling you, you're self-harming. You need to get taken out for treatment right away."

"No, it hurts too much." Hongliu refused without even thinking: "Let's try another way."

"You can't even do this, and you're saying you're going to commit suicide? Are you trying to scare me?"

"I don't care~~"

She started to act coquettishly, but Lu You said from the side, "The prince and princess will be back in less than half an hour. Whether to stay or leave depends on this moment."

Lin Zhou glanced at it, then clicked his tongue, bent down, and picked up Princess Hongliu in his arms.

"Don't pinch my butt!"

"Shut up! Close your eyes!"

After saying that, Lin Zhou rushed out carrying Hong Liu, shouting, "Make way! Make way! Hong Liu has hanged herself! Doctor!"

The guards were terrified. Their job was to watch over Hong Liu, and now that he had been killed by their watch, their fate was predictable. For a moment, they couldn't even think about how much of it was true and how much was false.

"Get away! Get away now!" Yang Ti, also in theatrical mode, shouted after Lin Zhou, "Get the hell out of my way!"

Lin Zhou ignored everything else and rushed out, partly to appear urgent, and partly because he really couldn't hold on much longer; the person pretending to be dead was actually quite heavy...

Amidst the panicked gazes of the crowd, they rushed straight out the door, then darted towards the darkest places, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Is something hard pressing against me?" Hongliu suddenly spoke up as they turned a corner.

Upon hearing this, Lu You and Yang Ti'er, who were standing nearby, both looked at him strangely.

"Damn it, are you guys crazy, staring at me like that?" Lin Zhou pulled out a pistol: "This!"

"Oh~~~~" Lu You suddenly realized, "So that's what it is. I thought it was that."

"How can someone as talented as you be so vulgar?"

"What kind of talented man is he if he's not also a womanizer?"

At that moment, Hongliu jumped off Lin Zhou and peeked out of the alleyway: "They didn't chase after us, run!"

Meanwhile, in the daring Gan Villa, the head attendant stood beside the steward, who stroked his beard and glanced at him: "Just like that, you release the princess?"

"One is the heir apparent, the other is the future imperial son-in-law." The chief attendant chuckled, "It's just children playing around, how could I stop them?"

"Hey... just wait until the princess scolds you."

"Go ahead and scold me, she's still my sister after all, what can I say to her?" The chief attendant waved his hand with a hint of helplessness: "Go to sleep, go to sleep."
