Acai's Sky

Chapter 401: Liu went out and bumped into...

Liu Qing'er was extremely low-key when she went out this time. She only asked for a small carriage and brought only a maid, Xiaohan, with her.

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she was discovered by the person who had been secretly monitoring her.

Mrs. Fan Qin stood in the distance, staring intently at the carriage that was slowly moving out, and waved to the people behind her to follow.

Then she turned to look at Guangyi, the servant next to her, a boy of eight or nine years old.

"Guangyi, go back to the mansion and tell Guard Cai that Madam Liu has gone out. We should follow her and ask them to come over as soon as possible!" Fan Qin said seriously.

Guangyi nodded quickly, shaking his little head like a rattle, then turned quickly and ran towards the general's mansion, ready to report the situation to Guard Cai.

Fan Qin looked around again and saw the beggar children who were helping to keep watch. She turned and walked into a nearby bun shop and bought a basket of steaming buns.

She walked up to A Ke, who was leading the group, and handed it to him.

"You guys eat first. I'll have someone prepare some extra food from the big kitchen in the mansion at noon and send it over. You can go to the back alley to get it then. Do you understand?" Fan Qin said gently.

Ten-year-old A Ke nodded gratefully, "Got it, Madam Fan. We will definitely keep a close eye on it and notify you of any news!"

Fan Qin nodded with satisfaction, then turned and chased in the direction the carriage left.

A Ke distributed the buns to other friends, and everyone sat together and ate happily, while still paying attention to what was happening around them.

Each little beggar held the bun tightly, fearing that it would be snatched away by others, and then stuffed it into his mouth desperately, eating it voraciously.

They knew that if they didn't finish eating quickly, these delicious buns might be snatched away by those greedy old beggars.

Ah Quan nudged Ah Ke with his elbow and whispered, "I say, isn't that grandma from that deep and rich courtyard a little strange? She only brought a maid with her when she went out."

While chewing her bun, A Ke replied vaguely, "He must be hiding something!"

"Don't worry about it, just eat quickly. The buns smell so good, isn't that enough for you?" A Ke took another big bite of the bun and urged vaguely.

After swallowing a bun, Ah Quan sighed and said, "I hope the General's Mansion will take us in in the future. My requirements are not high, as long as we can fill our stomachs."

A Ke groaned and responded, "This is a test for us. If we perform well, we might be taken in by the general in the future."

A few little beggars squatted in a circle in the corner of the street, eating buns with relish.

At this time, Fan Qin finally caught up with the people in front.

She saw the carriage circle the street several times and finally turn into an alley.

Fan Qin frowned and asked anxiously, "Which house did Grandma Liu go to? Did you see clearly?"

Female soldier Ou Han is tall and pretty, but she has a tenacious temperament.

She lowered her voice and said to Fan Qin, "Number 156 in front, don't be fooled by the small front of this house, there is a different world inside."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qin couldn't help but glance sideways and asked softly, "Have you guys gone up to take a look?"

Ou Han nodded and whispered, "Captain, something's not right. The way their courtyard is built is very strange. It seems there are hidden passages and secret rooms. Also, I think I saw a secret sentry."

Fan Qin frowned and asked in confusion, "Secret sentry? What does that mean?"

Ou Han said nervously, "Hiss, no way, have we found the nest of spies?"

Fan Qin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of excitement. "I never thought that the first mission Miss Fifth would give us would be so complex and interesting. It seems that our chance to make a contribution has come. However, everyone must proceed with caution and must not reveal their whereabouts."

After saying that, she patted the sword at her waist, a look of determination flashing in her eyes.

...

Cai Xinyi carried Acai and rushed to meet Fan Qin.

Fan Qin repeated her findings to Cai Xinyi and gave Acai a thumbs up.

Ah Cai was stunned. I just asked you to put a sack on her and beat her up, how did this turn out to be a spy nest? Oh, a spy nest!

Cai Xinyi rubbed her cheeks. "We still have to beat them up. We'll alert the enemy and see what kind of people are behind them!"

Fan Qin thought carefully, "They built such a complicated house, they definitely won't abandon it. Let's beat her up and see what happens."

Ah Cai scratched his little head and said, "Mrs. Cai, I think we should just beat her up, and let Grandpa help with the rest!"

Fan Qin also nodded. "The people outside them are quite skilled, but there must be some who are even more powerful inside."

Cai Xinyi thought about it and said, "Let's not retreat either. Let's just play around and attract them. Let the general send someone to secretly watch us."

Fan Qin clapped her hands and said, "That's right, we are here to help Fifth Miss vent her anger. We don't need to worry about what happens next."

Cai Xinyi patted Fan Qin's shoulder gently. "Just attract their attention and make them think we're harmless. Let them let down their guard, and then you can get more information out of them."

Fan Qin said regretfully, "Alas, it's such a pity that I can't go in and find out their background!"

Cai Xinyi waved her hand and said, "We can't afford to take on such an important matter. Let's leave the spies to the generals. This kind of important matter deserves full attention."

So, a few people chose a spot and waited on the road that Liu had to take to return to Yun Mansion.

An hour passed, and finally, the small carriage that Liu was riding in was seen slowly approaching.

Everyone immediately became alert.

Fan Qin softly called out to the others, signaling them to follow. Then, they used a blowpipe to inject the drugged needle into the horse's body and waited quietly for the drug to take effect.

Ah Cai stared wide-eyed, nervously watching the horse's changes. Suddenly, the horse went crazy and rushed straight forward, throwing even the coachman off the carriage.

Liu and Xiaohan in the carriage were knocked all over the place by the violent shaking, and Liu even fainted.

At the critical moment, Ou Han appeared in time to stop the carriage, preventing it from rushing towards the stalls on both sides of the street and stopping it in advance.

Ou Han jumped onto the carriage, pulled the reins and held the horse tightly.

Another female soldier, Gao Xin, knocked the horse's head crooked with a punch, and the horse could not withstand the force and fell to the ground.

Xiaohan, who was in the carriage, rolled off the carriage without realizing it, hit his head on the ground and fainted.

Ou Han took out a large magnet and sucked at the place where the horse was hit by the needles, quickly sucking out several needles.

Several people gathered around and went forward to check the situation.

“Haha, how miserable!”

A Cai clapped his hands happily.

Cai Xinyi calmly glanced at Fan Qin, then gently picked up A Cai and turned back to the General's Mansion.

Fan Qin ordered Ou Han to drive the carriage to the gate of Yun Mansion and then drive back.

At the same time, the news that the eldest grandmother of the Yun family encountered an unusual situation while going out and the horse went crazy, causing her to be knocked unconscious in the carriage, spread rapidly as if it had wings.

Before long, the news spread throughout the capital, and almost everyone knew about it.

At this time, Acai was squatting in the back alley, watching with interest the little beggars queuing up for food.

She stretched her neck and asked curiously, "This is stir-fried cabbage with bacon, why isn't it stir-fried bacon with cabbage?"

After hearing this, Cai Xinyi couldn't help laughing and replied gently, "I'll make them fried bacon and cabbage tomorrow..."
