The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 407: Defeated and Forced to Retreat

The two quickly retreated, hurriedly drawing the long knives they carried to defend themselves.

At the same time, Ah Hu also joined the fray, and the four began to fight in the courtyard.

Yun Jiao was already awake.

She was a light sleeper, and woke up as soon as Lin Shuo made a sound.

Hearing the sound of swords, she was startled, got out of bed and moved to the window, hiding beside it to look outside.

The weather was hot, so she hadn’t closed the window, leaving only a layer of mosquito netting.

Through the netting, she could dimly see several people fighting in the courtyard.

She couldn’t tell who was who.

The two guards fought harder and harder, wanting to say they had no ill intentions and just wanted to invite Doctor Gu to see a patient.

But barging into someone else’s home in the middle of the night with covered faces, they themselves couldn’t believe their own words.

Kidnapping someone was definitely impossible; now, even escaping was proving difficult.

The two didn’t want to fight to the death here, and suddenly one of the guards shouted, "Separate and flee!"

But he wasn’t speaking in the language of Great Chu; he used the language of Da Jin.

Then the two braced themselves for a while, seizing an opening, leaped onto the rooftop, and ran swiftly away.

Ah Hu immediately chased after them.

Lin Shuo, however, stood motionless in the courtyard, worried it was a trick to lure him away.

In this short moment, he had already guessed the identities of the two.

The two were exceptionally tall, and in Xiang City, due to the climate, geography, and diet, people are generally shorter than those from the north. Such tall men were rare to see.

And just now, the language of Da Jin that one of them blurted out, he happened to understand.

Without a doubt, they came to kidnap Doctor Gu.

These people from Da Jin were simply lawless.

Yun Jiao waited for a long time. Seeing that it had quieted outside with only a familiar figure standing there, she called out, "Brother Lin, have the thieves all fled?"

Lin Shuo hurried over, "They’ve all fled. You can sleep peacefully; I’ll stay here to watch."

Yun Jiao nodded, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Lin Shuo softly replied, "I’m fine, you go to sleep."

Yun Jiao added another caution, "Then be careful yourself."

Knowing she couldn’t be of help in this situation, she climbed back into bed to sleep.

Ah Hu chased one of the men in black for a long time before suddenly realizing that there were many old and young women and children in the house. If it really was a trick to lure them away, the young master alone might not cope well.

He stopped and turned back, sprinting wildly.

Returning home, everything was fine, only the young master was guarding the courtyard.

Wanyan Zhang, although aware that the two guards at Renxin Hall might know some martial arts, didn’t take it to heart.

His guards were top-notch experts even in Da Jin, and kidnapping a young girl should have been an easy task.

He, valuing his status, was unwilling to personally involve himself in such underhanded deeds, so he didn’t come over.

Ah Hu returned to the courtyard, and after Lin Shuo explained their identities, he burst out angrily, "Those Da Jin people are indeed uncivilized brutes, to concoct such shameless plans!"

He paused, lowering his voice, "Aren’t they staying at the inn? Why don’t we go over and..."

Lin Shuo shook his head, "Their target is Doctor Gu. We just need to protect Doctor Gu well."

"Their identities are not simple; they should be nobles of Da Jin."

"With Da Jin and Great Chu being allies now, causing an incident would be troublesome for us."

Ah Hu could only mutter, "Those guys got away easy."

Then he suddenly smiled, "Luckily, I injured one of them just now."

Lin Shuo said lightly, "I also stabbed one of them with my sword."
